A lot of the videos I saw before I searched cut out the minister's response and emphasized only the Senators' questions.
🚨Thierry Henry on Argentina eliminating Egypt from the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “For me, this feels like football robbery in broad daylight.
I’m not taking anything away from Argentina’s quality because they have world-class players, but I don’t think they deserved to win this match. Egypt worked incredibly hard to build a two-goal lead. They defended with courage, attacked with confidence and earned every bit of that advantage.
The turning point, in my opinion, was the refereeing. I didn’t agree with the penalty that was awarded to Argentina earlier in the game, and after that it felt as though every important decision was going against Egypt. Whether people agree or disagree, those moments changed the rhythm of the match and gave Argentina the momentum they desperately needed.
Egypt will leave this tournament feeling heartbroken because they were so close to one of the greatest victories in their history. Sometimes football is decided by brilliant moments, and sometimes it’s decided by controversial decisions. Tonight, I believe the officiating will be discussed just as much as the football itself.”
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
Ladies and gentlemen!

”𝐅𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓: “𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐖𝐎 𝐎𝐘𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐓𝐀𝐗 𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐒”
Our attention has been drawn to misleading media reports claiming that the Honourable Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele has "finally admitted errors in the new tax laws." These publications misrepresent the Minister's statements, falsely alleging that he urged Nigerians to await the outcome of a "legislative probe", a process that has long been concluded and the gazetted copies certified by the National Assembly published since early January 2026.
This twisted narrative is unhelpful as it risks distorting public understanding and misleading the very people the reforms were designed to benefit.
The Minister, during a recent fireside chat at the NBA SLP conference in Lagos, highlighted the early positive impact of the new tax laws, including thousands of informal businesses now seeking CAC registration daily while the number of individuals registered for tax purposes nationwide has increased from barely 10 million before the reform to over 100 million.
These impressive results stem from the robust design and progressive nature of the new laws, which include:
- Exemption of small companies from tax.
- Increased exemption thresholds for low-income earners.
- Tax exemptions on basic consumption items like food, education, healthcare, transportation, and rent.
- Introduction of the Tax Ombud to protect taxpayer right.
The Minister contrasted the transformative changes in the new laws with the regressive provisions in the old laws. He however emphasised that no law is perfect. Therefore, ongoing stakeholder engagement is essential to identify and address any errors or gaps for appropriate legislative updates through Finance Bills as part of a continuous improvement process.
We urge members of the public to disregard sensational headlines and twisted narratives and rely exclusively on official sources and credible media organisations for accurate information regarding the tax reform and other government policies.
God bless Nigeria!

The evil I supported here being that I call out Peter Obi’s hypocrisy and mediocrity. (Let’s leave out his bigotry, I called that out 13 years ago, long before your kind discovered the word 9 years later). Two elements of his leadership that were localised and amplified during his time as governor.
There’s a plethora of documentation on the Internet and now deleted but available tweets.
You people will continue to lose until you wake up to realise you aren’t on any moral high ground.
You are just losers feeling holy.
The people you once accused of genocide, structure of criminality, Islamic fundamentalism, cows etc are now your emergency darlings. If you are going to play a game of words, don’t do it with me.
If it is not mischief, then what is it?
A man increased the state allocation by triple and yet he has not earned their admiration.
If it is not h@te, what is it called in your place? A man moved power to the grassroots and they said he hated the poor.
Tertiary institutions now run thier normal calender without interruption.
The last time we enjoyed this stability in our universities was under General Gowon.
Today, if your son and your neighbour's son are admitted into a public and a private university at the same time respectively, they would graduate at the same time..
The children of the poor need not break their mothers' necks under fire wood fetching before they are educated to the university level.
Tinubu, as light has shown brilliantly on them. Will these people forget their benefactor on the 16th of January,2027?
Paul said no, "Ka ma ri"!!
Retirement since Obasanjọ's time to the early part of this year has been like a hell in waiting.
Workers feel felt as if they were going to the Golgotha.
But the yoke has been lifted.
100 % gratuity is no longer a dream.
It is a reality.
Can the man who thinks of the poor first in everything be denied continuity?
Let us know the number of problems we have in Nigeria and let us know too the number Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has solved.
May be this arrangement will keep you safe from hypertension.
May Nigeria win🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Amazing thing about Bernard Arnault
He owns all these brands:
Louis Vuitton
Moet
Hennessy
Tiffany and Co
Givenchy
Christian Dior
Celine
Hublot
Tag Heuer
Fendi
Bulgari
Marc Jacobs and more
One thing I like about his business strategy. He literally creates a competition in every niche with brands whereby he owns the competing brands. 😂 in a bid to capture a huge market share.
That's top notch wisdom.
Sad truth 🚨🚨🚨
😢🗣️🇮🇹Balotelli: “Before I became rich and famous, Italian girls didn't like me, even some of my schoolmates. They say they don't like blåcks, it was hard finding a white girlfriend. So I tried to visit a red light street with the little money I had with me, but they were still rejecting me because I'm blåck. So when I finally signed my professional football contract, I leveled up, bought a car and I went out to pick 4 girls to have fun with me. I sat at the middle, two girls on my right and two on my left. People thought I was a Casanova but I did it as a revenge. Since then I understood all women want is money. When you are rich, they don't see your skin colour or where you come from.”🤑 [Padova Reporters]

Mikel Arteta will win the league this season and it’d be the greatest conquest of a football league ever. Because he’d win on the back of Liverpool’s bank breaking summer and Man City/Guardiola, upon recognition they couldn’t beat him, deciding to do a Bayern Munich by buying 2 of the best players in the league as more fortification to the initial fortification of the fortification they did after another fortification they did.
Arteta’s Arsenal will close the league by the end of April. That’d leave Man City with a desperate need for the refortification of all their previous fortifications in the summer.
