Many Nigerians still believe that the problems they are experiencing are spiritual in nature. They don’t know the government is responsible for 100% of the hardship they are facing.

[Abiodun @bin_gbada]

We have not solved any basic fundamental obligation of the government since independence.

Not Waste Management, not good roads, not Electricity, Not Pipe-borne water, not flood control/management.

Nothing. Just enriching some few select greedy MFs.

Corruption: Motive Vs Opportunity

Since 1983, I’ve listened to various Nigerian Administrations declare war on corruption. From Buhari's WAI to Babangida's WAIC. From Obasanjo's due process crusade that birthed the ICPC and EFCC to Yar'Adua's rule of law campaign. From Jonathan's Transformation Agenda to Buhari warning in 2015 that “if we don't kill corruption, corruption will kill us”. And now, Tinubu's "Renewed Hope" agenda with its own institutional reforms.

Six administrations later, we can clearly say that - Politicians, Public Servants and institutions are still corrupt. Corruption has become the system through which everything works in Nigeria.

With five days to the start of the #WAFCON in #Morocco , the players, coaches and staff of the @NGSuper_Falcons, despite all I have been told by authorities, are yet to receive their reward money for winning the 10th title last year? #Nigeria will not drive me mad!

[stache X. @ElStachioo]

Every politician, no matter how corrupt, still understands that a functioning country serves their interests. Nigerian politicians see value only in extracting from it. We truly got the worst of the lot.

[Basil @basilabia]

In the 1970s, Nigeria & Cameroon signed agreements to build twin defensive dams on River Benue. Cameroon built its own: Lagdo Dam. Nigeria is yet to.

We are losing billions of dollars to the flooding, a potential 300MW of electricity, and irrigation for 150,000 hectares of land.

An interesting history of Argentina and how it treated its own indigenous black people. Not many people know this.

[Omiragua Teejay @Omiragua_Teejay]

Meanwhile some Nigerians no even see light to take watch the world cup final.

[marie @astou_jolie]

One thing I have noticed in Africa is: the poorer the country, the richer the politicians. And the people don’t seem to be bothered enough.

[Malachy Odo II @MalachyOdo1]

Why is the spirit of excellence very far away from Soludo, the Anambra Governor?

Just look at the statue he unveiled in honour of Late Prof Chinua Achebe...Haba.

Apart from the Government House he built there's no other project I've seen his administration execute that doesn't have his mediocre imprimatur all over it

['nedu Onye Motion. @Nedu64]

Does this look like Achebe we all knew???

This is somehow

[Abiodun @bin_gbada]

They are now doing Espirit de corps with forfeiture of public funds.

[Manjul Vic🦅 @VictorManjul]

Good day @inecnigeria it's been 46 DAYS!

You still haven't revealed the name of the staff who gave Wike’s aide @OlayinkaLere Access to your back-end server, or citizens' private details⚠️‼️

[Tracka @TrackaNG]

Dear Nigerians, here is a question that deserves our collective reflection.

The 2026 FG budget has a fiscal deficit of N31.45 trillion, representing 46% of the total budget size. Despite this, N8.05 billion has been earmarked for the construction and renovation of places of worship across the Country;
⛪ 7 Churches — N1.91 billion
🕌 52 Mosques — N6.14 billion

At a time when many communities still lack functional primary healthcare centres, quality schools, clean water, and motorable roads, are these the most pressing priorities for scarce public resources?

Faith is important, but government budgets should primarily address citizens' most critical development needs and improve their quality of life.

With increasing debt and limited fiscal space, every naira borrowed and every naira spent should deliver the greatest possible public value.

What do you think? Should public funds be used to construct and renovate places of worship while many essential public services remain underfunded?

Someone was accused of misappropriating 80 billion ($57 million) after being an 8 years governor of a state.

Meanwhile, even though his corruption case trial is ongoing, he’s actively campaigning to be a senator.

How? How?? How???

[Abiodun @bin_gbada]

How can someone forfeit $156 million of stolen taxpayers money but he’s still allowed to contest gubernatorial elections?

[Making of Champions @MakingOfChamps]

BACK-TO-BACK WINS IN THE DIAMOND LEAGUE!!

For the third time this season, Kayinsola Ajayi has run an equal Nigerian Record of 9⃣.8⃣4⃣s .

Ajayi dominated a strong field to win the men's 100m at the London Diamond League, dropping another statement run.

He is not playing!!

Nigeria did not fall by accident. When oil money poured in from the 1970s, the country had a real chance to build strong schools, hospitals, roads, and honest government. That chance was wasted. Generals, ministers, state governors, and political godfathers treated public funds like private cash. They bought houses abroad, sent their kids to foreign schools, and left ordinary Nigerians to struggle in the dark.

Military rulers from the late 1970s through the 1990s made the damage normal. They jailed critics, canceled votes, and ran the country like a armed camp. Police and courts served the powerful, not the law. When civilians returned to power, too many of the same people stayed in charge new suits, same habits. Big contracts, fake projects, and “security” spending that nobody could audit became the routine. Electricity still failed. Water still failed. Nothing reliable was fixed.

Ethnic and religious fights were stirred up on purpose, because divided people do not ask where the money went. In the Niger Delta, oil kept flowing while communities lived with pollution and poverty. Bandits, kidnappers, and groups like Boko Haram spread because the state was weak, corrupt, and busy protecting its own, not the public. Bright young Nigerians left in large numbers because merit meant little and connections meant everything.

Do not expect pity from the rest of the world. Much of the havoc was made at home: broken promises, stolen budgets, unsafe roads, and leaders posing for photos over problems they helped create. Nigeria is a mess because too many leaders chose theft over duty, and too many citizens looked away for too long. Until that changes thieves punished, votes counted, money traced the decay is not “fate.” It is the result of choices, repeated year after year.

[Tall Dark Renaissance Man @ProjectStev]

We're borrowing money we'll likely never repay in our lifetime to supposedly "build" the economy, while public officials embezzle those same funds with little or no consequences. Until we tackle corruption with real accountability, we're not serious about development.
