News of Nigeria being one of the top 10 contributors to global GDP hasn’t gone down well in some quarters.
It’s the same group that celebrate every news that put Nigeria in negative light and then make light of positive news when not looking for a negative spin to them.
To this lot, even if Nigeria wins, it must be seen to be losing. If you haven’t noticed this pattern, never mind, it’s because you are one of them.
Nigeria helping to quell the Benin Republic coup, on the request of the Benin government, has not gone down well with the social-media arm of Africa Corps, so they are desperately framing it as a French intervention.
You’d think France had a lot more to lose with (potential) socio-political and economic perturbations in Benin than Nigeria. Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve centre, shares a busy border with Benin. Any disruptions to peace and order in Benin will potentially affect Lagos and indeed other border towns, south and north of Nigeria.
It helped that the Benin government requested for our help but anyone with the remotest understanding of multi-order level thinking would immediately see why it was in Nigeria’s interest to accede to the Beninois request. This was an operation deployed under ECOWAS protocols.
The coup has been quelled. Run all your narratives and earn your Rubles but Nigeria—and other alert countries in the region—will not make itself Russia’s vassal state in Africa.
Those who chose that path continue to lose territories to terrorists whilst projecting a narrative of development and prosperity. Nigeria cannot afford such foolish games. There are hundreds of millions of lives at stake. Those who earn their living advancing that agenda are free to do their job, whilst this country can only do what works for it and its people.
PS: If you do not get paid to do so like others but you somehow believe and push the agenda that military coups are the new pathway to pan-Africanism, I will put this in the simplest and most sincere way; you are an active fool.
My fellow Nigerians,
You will recall that I cancelled my trip to the G20 summit in South Africa to enable me coordinate the security efforts at home.
Thanks to the efforts of our security forces over the last few days, all the 38 worshippers abducted in Eruku, Kwara State have been rescued.
I am equally happy that 51 out of the missing students of the Catholic School in Niger State, have been recovered.
I am closely monitoring the security situation nationwide and receiving continuous updates from the frontline.
Let me be clear: I will not relent. Every Nigerian, in every state, has the right to safety — and under my watch, we will secure this nation and protect our people.
~ Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President & Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
It gives me immense pleasure to celebrate today the swearing-in of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, @officialABAT, as the President of Nigeria. His journey to the highest office of the land is a testament to the vibrant democracy of our beloved nation and a triumph of the indomitable Nigerian spirit.
A visionary leader, a dedicated public servant, and a relentless advocate for the progress and prosperity of all Nigerians, President Tinubu's career is a tapestry of service and statesmanship. His dedication to the principles of justice, equality, and the rule of law are a beacon of hope for our great country.
As President Tinubu embarks on this new journey of leadership, we are filled with optimism. We believe in his capacity to chart a path of unity, progress, and prosperity for Nigeria. He is not just a leader of Nigeria today, but a pioneer for the Nigeria of tomorrow, carrying the hopes and aspirations of over 200 million Nigerians.
We celebrate President Tinubu not just as a leader, but as a true Nigerian, one who embodies the spirit and resilience of our people. May his presidency be a new dawn of progress and peace for our nation.
May God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This is the first time in my entire life that I am seeing people who came 2nd & 3rd in an exam both claiming they took first and then agreeing to protest together to the examiner to record that both of them took first, yet they are not seeing the contradiction in their actions 🙄
I think the National Chairman of our party @OfficialAPCNg needs a good Yoruba translator so he will not rely on beer parlor translation in meting out his threatened “sanctions”!
