Nearly 200,000 people have had to prematurely withdraw from their pensions due to job loss over the last 5 years. These are official figures from PENCOM that demonstrate the disaster of BAT and their party yet APC folks want you to disregard this in favour of bogus macro indices.
Find it interesting that people who say they don't support any of the candidates in the forthcoming elections make it their raison d'etre to attack/criticise only Peter Obi consistently as though he's the one in power or he's the only opposition candidate.
The same "leftist obsession" is why we have a world where the vast majority of population can earn a living wage.
The British empire was wealthy yet its people were peasants who worked in factories for peanuts until "leftist obsession" improved their lives from the 60s onwards
You could literally be
Former SEC chairman
Former chairman of multiple banks
Former bank Director
And someone with less than 10 years of work experience will come online to say she's not impressed on your thoughts towards the economy and fiscal policy😂😂😂
People say this as if the counter factual to Obi is a hypothetical. It's not.
We are currently living through the application of the "depth" of wisdom of a president/party and the result has been economic devastation. Plummeting GDP per capita, runaway inflation and crippling insecurity.
A government so fiscally incompetent it's running three concurrent budgets, releasing less than 1% of the critical health budget.
It's absurd that this malevolent milieu inspires an "Obi is underwhelming" post. Well if this is the case then I don't think an English word has yet been invented to fully capture how disastrous this current administration has been. We'll have to turn to German to help; schlimmbesserung!
It always beats my brain that Nigeria has a dedicated national programme & budget to fund the rehabilitation of terrorists but has nothing dedicated for the victims of the terrorists who are traumatized for life.
Call for help.
My mum was hit with a stroke in may 2024.
Since then our lives haven't remained the same. My family have spent all our savings yet her condition hasn't changed.
She has severe BP challenge, she has diabetes. Which has gone on to take a toll on her kidneys.
BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election?
JUDGE TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy. Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: It's 'political controversy' only because the president refuses to accept the results. I'm asking you as a matter of fact. Who won?
TRAYNOR: As Justice Jackson stated, it is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that
BLUMENTHAL: So you're going to use the same script that other nominees have used before this panel to avoid the question?
TRAYNOR: I think the precedent established by Justice Jackson ...
BLUMENTHAL: As a matter of fact, which presidential candidate got more votes in 2020?
TRAYNOR: As I stated before, this is an issue that Justice Jackson--
BLUMENTHAL: You're adopting a script that has been dictated to you by the White House
Watching my amputated leg slowly decay because cancer is eating it up is one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever experienced. The pain I have endured over the past few weeks has been unbearable. Please, I need all the help I can get. 8146203234 moniepoint
I understand from popular rhetorics that's "how politics is".
So tomorrow, it wouldn't shock you that I'm SSAing Tinubu in one capacity because " that's how politics is".
I'm sorry, that negates everything I stand for - and I am happy to be the outlier.
Of every option? Theo?
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu just provided further details on his heavily hyped Renewed Hope Agenda, and the sheer mathematics of this project is deeply disturbing, especially since this mega scheme is aggressively marketed as a lifeline to better the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
In the quoted tweet below, President Tinubu claimed that exactly ₦128 billion in mortgages has been generously delivered to 1,859 families at a fixed interest rate of 9.75% spread over 20 long years through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
On the surface, this looks like the ultimate utopian dream project, primarily because a 9.75% mortgage rate is ridiculously low, especially when you compare it to the predatory standard market rates which presently sit anywhere between 20%, 25%, 30%, or even higher depending on the bank.
However, even with this seemingly charitable low interest rate, a simple, cold mathematical breakdown instantly exposes that these supposed affordable homes are entirely out of reach for the average, hardworking Nigerian in whose very name this multibillion Naira PR project is being violently advertised.
To see this blatant scam, simply divide ₦128 billion among 1,859 families, and you will rapidly discover that the average mortgage size is a staggering, eye-watering ₦68.8 million per home. Now, under the exact terms quoted by Tinubu, which is 9.75% interest over 20 years with a mandatory 10% equity contribution of roughly ₦6.8 million, a single family would have to reliably cough up roughly ₦600,000 to ₦650,000 every single month just to service this impossible mortgage.
This mathematical reality clearly demonstrates that the policy architects behind this Renewed Hope Agenda have completely, and spectacularly lost their minds, their touch with reality, and their basic common sense.
First of all, the brand new minimum wage recently signed into law in Nigeria is an alleged, highly disputed ₦70,000, which is an insulting amount that many state governors claim they cannot even afford to pay, sustain, or budget for. Even with this symbolic, poverty-level wage, the average Nigerian that these houses are supposedly built for would genuinely need to starve, save every single kobo, and work for one full uninterrupted year just to afford a single one-month mortgage repayment. Currently, absolutely no middle-class citizen in Nigeria with an honest, verifiable, and legitimate source of living can ever afford to burn this massive amount every month for a house, no matter how stupid, lavish, or financially reckless they want to be.
Now this begs the incredibly obvious, screaming question: why on earth is the Tinubu administration deliberately wasting ₦128 billion (a massive $90 million) to provide subsidized affordable housing to a tiny fraction of 1,859 families who are obviously loaded with cash, highly connected, financially immune, and can easily afford luxury apartments, fund their own private estates, secure massive commercial bank loans, or buy premium properties outright?
This ridiculous allocation of scarce public funds makes zero strategic sense because the exact amount quoted for this vanity project is comfortably enough to buy about 4 highly advanced MQ-9 Reaper drones, fully equip them, heavily arm them, and ship them straight to the bleeding frontlines of Northern Nigeria.
These military-grade drones can stay airborne for 30 continuous hours, monitor the entire terror-infested forests in Borno in less than one hour, track moving targets, and violently update the Nigerian military in real time for any mass gatherings of armed bandits, hostage holding areas, illegal gold mining operations, or cross-border insurgent movements.
The colossal amount of money involved in this project is not merely the ₦128 billion senselessly wasted so far. Obviously, before this entire grand, systemic money laundering scheme is fully completed, more than ₦320 billion will have magically vanished, migrated, and evaporated from the Nigerian Treasury directly into the bloated private offshore accounts of ghost contractors, corrupt civil servants, APC campaign financiers, loyal party chieftains, and the ruling party's untouchable inner circle.
This is complete madness. Our brave men in uniform are constantly being taken by surprise, ambushed, and rounded up by ragtag terrorists simply because their vulnerable forward operating bases do not come equipped with basic acoustic sensors, infrared thermal cameras, night vision goggle, or basic aerial reconnaissance drones to serve as early warning mechanisms. Yet the Commander in Chief is cheerfully burning hundreds of billions of Naira under the guise of public welfare, deliberately laundering public treasury funds into the deep back pockets of shady construction companies, and happily providing heavily subsidized affordable housing to his ultra-rich, highly privileged, and politically connected friends.

Her speech is always devoid of empathy and compassion. It’s like she just doesn’t give a toss and she cannot hide it.
Nigerian history deserves more than scattered Wikipedia pages. For @1000reasons9ja, I created 1800+ dated moments of Nigerian history. You can now trace Nigeria from the 1300s to 2026.
I also added 200 more reasons against T-Pain’s administration.
