@GiwaBaban@sapio_clinton@OSAS4l That’s the funny thing about political defenders. When it’s their side, history starts the day they took office. Those roads have been bad for years. The real question is: what’s being done now in the six geo zones commensurate with borrowed loans.
If speaking truth to power was the standard in 2010 and 2020, it should still be the standard in 2026.
Justice and accountability shouldn’t depend on who occupies Aso Rock.
‘He has done his bit’ — Adeboye defends Tinubu over insecurity
Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has defended President Bola Tinubu against criticism over insecurity.
Speaking at the US-Nigeria faith heroes award gala organised by the Save Nigeria Group on June 23 in Washington, Adeboye said Tinubu has fulfilled his responsibility by directing the military and should not be expected to fight on the frontlines.

@taiwo_junzi You can’t tell Nigerians not to blame the President for insecurity when you once held presidents accountable for less.
That’s the contradiction many people are pointing out.

The strongest criticism people make is not “he supports Tinubu,” but “why was public pressure necessary before, but not now when insecurity remains severe?” That’s the core of the hypocrisy argument.

@RealPeroTalks@ruffydfire By your logic, if a prayer walk won't stop insecurity, why did Baba go on a prayer walk when Jonathan was facing backlash due to insecurity?
Why was he planning to petition Jonatan? Did Jonathan not do his bit like Baba is telling us Tinubu has done? Help me make it make sense
@peter_sanyaolu@NigAffairs@woye1 What happened to TraderMoni under Yemi Osinbajo? How much has gone into agriculture? And what’s the plan for Nigerian youths when graduates keep increasing with no jobs or clear direction?

“It’s Not Just Akara” — First Lady Remi Tinubu Defends Her Remarks, Says the Federal Government Also Supports Tomato and Pepper Sellers, Boli Vendors and Other Small Businesses
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has clarified that her empowerment programme for women is not limited to akara sellers, saying beneficiaries also include tomato, pepper, vegetable and bọọli (roasted plantain) traders, among other petty business owners.
Speaking during an empowerment programme in Jigawa State, the First Lady dismissed reports suggesting she singled out only akara sellers as beneficiaries of the initiative.
According to her, her office has already donated N100 million to empower 2,000 women petty traders in the state, with each beneficiary receiving N50,000 to recapitalise their businesses.
“I know they’ve been talking that I said akara. It’s not only akara. We also have tomato sellers, those selling pepper, vegetables and others in the market. We’ll continue to empower them and add to their resources so that their trade can really be sustainable,” she said.
Tinubu added that the programme was designed to strengthen existing small businesses and improve the livelihoods of women across the state.
“We are not intimidated by all those wrong reports. We are forging ahead and making sure that our people are well cared for. We will continue to care in the capacity we have,” she stated.
The First Lady also expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, urging young people to recognise the country’s vast natural wealth beyond crude oil.
She recalled seeing expansive orange orchards during a recent trip, describing them as “mind-blowing.”
“I pray that our young people will see the resources we have in this nation. We have not even begun to explore them because we are thinking it’s oil, but there are so many things,” she said.
Tinubu urged Nigerians, especially the younger generation, to take ownership of the country and remain hopeful, stressing that “Nigeria is a blessed land” that belongs to all its citizens.
@GiwaBaban@sapio_clinton@OSAS4l Where is the infrastructure? Major roads linking the 6 geopolitical zones are in a deplorable state. We are not borrowing to industrialized the nation but only borrowing to build coastal road. Help me make it make sense.
@GiwaBaban@sapio_clinton@OSAS4l Have we stopped borrowing? We have even borrowed more with nothing to show for it.
Mind you, 50k salary was equivalent to $220. Today, that same $50 is only about $30.
@instablog9ja With the recent hike in school fees and rent since APC took over government, how can a woman who sells Akara meet up fees from the little gains made from sales of Akara?
Don't forget, the economy was good, that's why your mother could send you to school. Compare and contrast.
@shextian@Hade_Spenz@GRVlagos Japan, Dubai, New York all experience floods, yes. But citizens there don’t accept negligence as normal.
In Lagos, poor waste collection, blocked drainage, and weak enforcement worsen what should be manageable. That is what people are calling out.
@shextian@Hade_Spenz@GRVlagos “Accept it” is how problems become permanent.
Flooding happens everywhere, yes. But in functional cities it’s managed, not normalized.
Lagos cannot keep calling avoidable urban planning failures “just reality.”
@noor_xamari@FSYusuff A serious government should be talking about jobs, industrialisation, innovation and affordable education. Not romanticising poverty and calling it empowerment. Survival is not economic growth.
@Sistaliano Your story is a lie. No neighbor asked you to connect her.
The interesting thing about your story is that you have like-minds commenting and supporting your fabricated story.
You all are irredeemable!
Renewed hope = Akara empowerment.
@Imranmuhdz The tragedy of Nigeria is that while other countries are preparing their citizens for AI, robotics and advanced manufacturing, our leaders still think roasting corn is a national poverty strategy. That gap is why we keep falling behind.
