This is precisely the tragic reality that W.E.B. Du Bois painfully discovered during the final stages of his intellectual life. The Black individuals who somehow manage to accumulate personal wealth, corporate power, and elite social status do not . . 1/n

🚨 N962.83 Billion for SUVs and Empowerment Projects Exceeds the Combined Budget of Seven Key Federal Ministries in the 2026 Budget

Our review of the 2026 FG Budget uncovered another troubling pattern of opaque spending.

🚙 39 SUVs - N15.13 bn
👥 2,579 Empowerment Projects - N947.7 bn
Total: N962.83 bn

This is more than the combined N960.27bn allocation to seven key Federal Ministries:

🏭 Industry, Trade & Investment - N156.8bn
🏘️ Housing - N145.3bn
👩 Women Affairs - N169.39bn
⚖️ Justice - N150.7bn
🐄 Livestock Development - N177.6bn
✈️ Aviation & Aerospace Development - N87.3bn
🪔 Petroleum Resources - N73.1bn

Yet, only 70 of the 2,579 empowerment projects have clearly identified implementation locations.
This raises serious accountability concerns:
📍 How can citizens track projects with no stated location?
🔍 How can oversight institutions verify implementation?
💰 How can taxpayers know who ultimately benefits from these allocations?

The concerns don't end there, these projects are spread across 184 implementing agencies, many of which have no statutory mandate to execute empowerment programmes. Leading agencies 👇
📌 @fedccojiriver - 393 projects worth N127.1bn
📌 National Agricultural Development Fund - 6 projects worth N89.5bn
📌 @Fchdkgombe - 216 projects worth N88.1bn
📌 @officialfccib - 94 projects worth N36.9bn

Let us be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with empowerment programmes! When well-designed and transparently implemented, they can improve livelihoods, create economic opportunities, and support vulnerable Nigerians.

However, experience over the years has shown that many poorly defined empowerment projects have become vehicles for political patronage, rewarding loyalists rather than delivering broad-based benefits to citizens. When projects have no clear location, no transparent beneficiary selection process, and are assigned to agencies without the appropriate mandate, public confidence is eroded, and accountability becomes difficult.

This concern is even more pressing given that the 2026 Budget is projected to be financed with a deficit of about 46%. At a time when government is borrowing heavily to fund public expenditure, every naira should be directed toward investments with clear development outcomes, measurable impact, and value for money, not opaque allocations that citizens cannot effectively track.

A budget should not only allocate resources, it should also inspire public confidence. Every budget item should have a clear purpose, a defined location, an implementing agency with the legal mandate to deliver it, identifiable beneficiaries, and measurable outcomes.

@Sami_incredibl @an_abass What if mental health issues as we have it now is stemmed from comparing our lives to lives of people which is easier now because of the internet?
People’s lives were mostly similar back in the day so everyone just live.

PS: I’m not limiting mental health to this though

Messi fans Called Ronaldo a finished player. – I didn't respond
They said Ronaldo is not the goat he should bring his world cup. – I didn't respond
They called Ronaldo many demeaning names – I didn't respond.
I post about Ronaldo, Messi fans goes to my Cs to insult me

Now I'm calling Messi exactly what he is. A Fraud, a rat, fifa's princess.

Calling out all the people he robbed their Ballon D'or, which the world knows.

I reminded them how Barcelona couldn't pay Messi's teammates their salary just so they can accommodate Messi's paycheck.

I called out how Fifa helped Argentina from the group stage to the finals by not giving Messi a Red card for that brutal attack against an Algerian player and how they never gave Argentina a red card on all their rough tackle till the finals

I called out the obvious Fifa shenanigans in the world cup to favor the Argentine team and all of a sudden I am a bitter person???

Like I will always say, it is better to talk to the wall than to argue with any Barcelona fan. These fan base are never Honest. They know the truth, but because the truth doesn't favour Messi, they will never admit the truth for what it is.

Ronaldo is the Greatest of all TIME. The Greatest player of the century. No other player comes close.🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

I've spent the last several months researching, travelling, and studying why countries like Singapore, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and Finland built some of the world's best public education systems.

One thing became clear:

Nigeria doesn't just have an education problem. We have a school management problem.

Today, I'm releasing a white paper that proposes a new way to transform our public schools, keeping them publicly owned while introducing world-class management and accountability.

This isn't about politics.

It's about giving every Nigerian child the opportunity to attend a world-class public school.

I hope this sparks one of the most important conversations our country has had about education.

Read it. Criticise it. Improve it. Share it.

If we get education right, we change Nigeria.

It’s the media criticizing him for taking him most esp because he didn’t play in the EPL

[TheAnomaly @Anomaly_talks]

@XO_SPlay @FabrizioRomano Tactical setup but weren’t they the ones that are supposed to execute??
He would help use their legs too?
Y’all just like to say shiii out here, the coach is right.

[TheAnomaly @Anomaly_talks]

@OdadaSamuel @FabrizioRomano Please stop watching football if that’s what you think of the England team and a Coach will tell you what you don’t want to hear, he’s the coach.

I don’t think you know what it means to manage people… nah, you have no idea or you’re just trolling.

[Dele Farotimi. A victim of Nigeria @DeleFarotimi]

What am I supposed to be telling Nigerians about Peter Obi that they are unaware of? What is it about the objective realities of the Nigerian that makes it necessary to convince them to embrace the use of their senses? I will not insult my own intelligence with that undertaking..

I’ve been to different parts of Italy but, funnily enough, never to “the eternal city.” So, I decided that it was a good destination to go and baby boy for a few days and visit the residence of il Papa.

I’ve been to various countries with rich historical legacies, but visiting a city that has been continuously inhabited for some 2,700 years was quite something.

The best thing about Rome, for me, is how the old has been seamlessly integrated with the new. You could be on a bog-standard street and the tour guide will just say “Beneath our feet is where Julius Caesar was stabbed 44 years BEFORE Christ.” And then you drive past the Colosseum to get to a restaurant and they casually tell you that it has stood there for nearly 2,000 years!

Our driver whinged about how much it cost to build the Supreme Court. He said he is sure that the Mafia has inflated the price by some 500%.

I told him that I didn’t realise that the Mafia were still active. He looked at me as if to say “Are you daft?” He then said “The Mafia controls EVERYTHING!”

He complained about how dirty Rome is and asked whether where I had come from was as dirty as Rome. I said it’s cleaner than Abuja but not as clean as London. He pointed to some men and women sweeping the streets and said “The Mafia make more money from street cleaning than they make from drugs, gambling and prostitution.” I felt like I was in a Mario Puzo novel about the 1920s.

Then I started to rationalise that serious corruption in Nigeria is actually like a Mafia set-up. I remembered what one senior Nigerian politician once said to me: “Don’t be confused by the alignments and realignments, the political family in Nigeria is one family.”

Anyway, on to the Vatican to go and baby boy with the Pope. I asked after him but they said traveled. I told them to let him know that Ezemmuo came.😂

Entering the Vatican, the Italians make great play of letting you know that you have left Italy and are now in a different country, with a different Head of State, its own army (the Swiss Guards), and its own Euro coins. No need to spoil the fun by asking why we didn’t need a Vatican visa or how many wars the 135-man Vatican army can fight.😂

The Vatican Museum was quite something. Artefacts from Egypt, Greece and different parts of Italy before Italy was unified. The tour guide said something interesting: “The Romans were geniuses at several things, including architecture and engineering, but not in religion or art. Everything beautiful in Rome came from elsewhere.”

Then, as we were about to enter the Sistine Chapel, they reminded us that it is a church. Men take off hats and caps. Women can keep them on but don’t have to cover their hair. No pictures or videos allowed. No taking! Shuuush! 🤫

Then, I was fortunate in this my lifetime to behold the genius of Michelangelo of Florence. It took him four years to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and another 5 years to paint “The Last Judgment” on the wall behind the altar of the chapel. He used the opportunity to sub all of his critics by depicting them as devils or other unsavoury characters. 😀

The Sistine Chapel brought a tear to my eyes sha. I wondered how God could give some people so much talent, and how they were able to use it in the praise and worship of His name.

The work took a physical toll
on Michelangelo. He is alleged to have said that he would prefer death to having to do it again.

Then, on to St Peter’s Basilica. It just makes you feel so small. You realise that some things are just bigger than you. You realise how tiny the Pope’s living quarters are, compared to the whole square. You are informed that you are one of 60,000 people who visit EVERYDAY!

You realise that, just like you, the Pope will die and be replaced by another. But also that the Holy Catholic Church, the bones of St Peter (the rock upon which God’s church was built) resting under the Vatican, and the Gospel of Christ will remain forever.

Peace be with you!
