PBAT is meticulously solving Nigeria's 60 years old problems with reforms that establish the foundation for sustainable solutions.

See what the Governor of Niger State is doing with subsidy money.

Massive Solar panels installed for power generation in Niger-state by Governor Bago.

PBAT’s govt passed the *Electricity Act 2023* in June 2023. That law _unbundled_ the grid. For the first time, states + private players can generate, transmit, distribute power without begging Abuja. Lagos, Oyo, Enugu, Kaduna already have electricity market laws. Aso Villa going solar? Yes - because govt buildings waste diesel. That’s policy leadership, not hypocrisy. You want the president to sit in darkness so citizens feel pain? That’s performative, not governance.

Grid avg moved from 3,800MW 2023 to 5,500MW+ 2025. Siemens deal revived.
- *Meters*: 3.2M prepaid meters deployed in 2024 vs 1M total under Buhari 8yrs.
- *Debt*: ₦4T owed GenCos settled partially to stop blackouts.
- *States*: 12 states now have licenses to build their own grids. Power is no longer “Abuja monopoly”.
Can you feel it 24/7 yet? No. Can you see the foundation? Yes. Power needs gas, transmission, discos that bill honestly. That’s 5-7yr fix, not 3yr magic.

Accountability is democracy. But “blind support” is also people choosing reform over reversal. Nigerians asked questions on subsidy, FX, tax. PBAT answered with data + policy tweaks. Asking “where is light?” is valid. Answering “we’re fixing the law that broke it for 60 years” is also valid. “We’ll still vote him” comes from voters who prefer painful reform to painless lies.

Anthropic will pay you $85,000 to learn AI, and this is the kind of opportunity you don't let pass

It's called Claude Corps. Anthropic just launched it, and it's a 12-month paid fellowship for people at the very start of their careers.

They train you to use Claude from scratch, then place you inside a nonprofit to do real work with it for a year. You get paid $85,000 plus benefits the whole time.

They're basically paying you to master the most in-demand skill on the planet right now, then handing you real-world experience using it.

The barrier to entry is almost nothing. Over 18, less than two years of full-time work experience. No degree, no AI background needed.

If that's you, don't sit on this one.

I heard people talking about akara sellers. It is not only akara sellers. We are also supporting tomato sellers, maize sellers, vegetable sellers, and many other petty traders. I know the beneficiaries appreciate it, and we're not intimidated by the wrong reports.

- First Lady Remi Tinubu spoke yesterday while announcing a 100 million naira support package for 2,000 female petty traders in Jigawa State, with each trader getting 50,000 naira.

[DAVID @dadadavidob]

This video shows what the data already confirms: PBAT’s administration has backed opportunity entrepreneurship more than any administration in Nigeria or Kenya.

Economic recovery isn’t choice between opportunity and survival entrepreneurship. It’s both. China didn’t lift 800M+ people out of poverty by calling micro-enterprise charity. It treated financing individuals as national industrial policy.

That’s what Mrs. Tinubu’s akara comment is actually about. It’s not an economic strategy. It’s a grant, not a loan, aimed at people with zero capital who would otherwise be locked out. She’s not leaving the “kuli kuli” and akara sellers behind while we build the “opportunistic entrepreneur.”

You are right on the Constitution: Section 14(2)(b) + Section 16 make welfare and opportunity a state obligation, not a personal gift. But it sets up a false split. Charity fills gaps today. Governance builds the ladder tomorrow.

Akara is honourable work. No one disputes that. The question isn’t dignity. It’s design. Roosevelt didn’t just cheer CCC volunteers, he built the TVA. Lee Kuan Yew didn’t just praise hawkers, he moved them into food centres while funding manufacturing and education. South Korea and China did the same: use survival enterprise as a rung, not the ceiling.

Nigeria’s graduates in engineering, CS, medicine don’t need lectures on dignity. They need power, credit, logistics, and contracts so their skills scale. PBAT’s reforms: FX unification, tax reform, student loans, CNG buses, $1B tech fund, are attempts at that ladder. The akara grants are the first rung.

So the issue isn’t akara. It never was. It’s whether we keep Nigerians stuck managing poverty, or build institutions that let talent + hard work = prosperity. Hope keeps people going. Opportunity lets them leave.

Governments are judged by how many citizens they empower to escape hardship, not just endure it. That’s the constitutional promise.

By your logic @johnonyeukwu ⁩: language shapes policy. So let’s be precise. No one’s saying “stay selling akara forever.” The message is: start where you are, we are building the road out.

Sanusi’s quote is right, but “strong institution” ≠ “institution that blocks everything”. Gridlock is not independence, it’s failure. Nigeria 2023: $3.4T subsidy debt, FX chaos. You don’t need war between exec + NASS. You need alignment to pass painful reforms fast. That’s handshake, not capture.

2015-2019: Saraki vs Buhari = 59 bills, <20 passed, PIA stalled 17yrs, budgets in April. Strong opposition, weak Nigeria.
2023-2025: PBAT + 10th Senate = Tax Bill in 3mths, PIA amendment, State Police hearing, Dec budgets. Strong delivery > strong drama. Oversight happens. Sabotage doesn’t.

[DAVID @dadadavidob]

2027 is about choosing between mobs driven by identity/grievance and governance driven by reform. Nigeria doesn’t need another 4-year protest movement — it needs implementation. Tinubu is the only alternative actually driving structural reforms that take time: Electricity Act to decentralize power + N4T bond to clear legacy debt, N5.41T security budget + 50,000 new police, 21% non-oil export growth, autonomy for 774 LGs, and 10,000 tractors for food security. Those aren’t slogans, they’re 5-10 year fixes.

Reforms that undo decades of rot can’t mature in 4 years. A second term isn’t about Tinubu — it’s about not aborting the marathon at km 5. You don’t switch runners mid-race when the pace is finally set.

So the real choice: Emotional mobilization that ends at the ballot, or reforms that take time but change the track.

@DeeOneAyekooto As a young man from the same constituency as David Mark, I can categorically state that he failed the people of Benue south ( zone C) and Benue state entirely, he should never be given another chance to hold a national political office.

You can dislike President Tinubu — he is your President, and you are fully within your rights to criticize him.
You can dislike the APC — that is your prerogative.
You can even dislike Nigerian politicians as a whole — that is entirely your business.

But the line is crossed when:
— You transfer that political anger toward the Yoruba people.
— You disguise your dislike for certain politicians or parties as an excuse to attack Yoruba professionals, religious or traditional leaders, artists, businesspeople, or any Yoruba individual simply because of their identity.

That will no longer be tolerated. And it will be firmly and confidently resisted.

@Borngreata22 @vanguardngrnews @I_nwachinaemere May a destiny helper that move ur income from 400m to 6b monthly like PBAT did in Lagos and 3X of baseline revenue, like he's doing to states &amp; LG currently, not happen to you. Say Amen, bikonu🙏

This is a proof that PBAT can’t be measured by the same yardstick as his predecessors.

Critics use old metrics: “cost of living, hardship, etc.” But PBAT inherited a subsidy regime + multiple FX windows that made those metrics artificially “stable” while bleeding reserves. He chose to remove the crutch. That means evaluation must include: fiscal savings, removal of arbitrage, state allocation increases, and long-term restructuring. You don’t judge a man fixing a leaking roof by whether it still rains inside on day 2. You judge by whether the repair holds. And with the growing reserve, we can confidently say the repair is holding

OPERATION HADIN KAI DELIVERS ANOTHER DECISIVE BLOW TO ISWAP TERRORISTS

The Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI has once again demonstrated its operational dominance and combat readiness by successfully defeating ISWAP attack and launching a devastating counter-offensive against the terrorists in the Buratai axis.

In the early hours of 19 June 2026, ISWAP terrorists launched multiple attacks on troops' locations at Dusten Kura and Chara road in Buratai, Biu Local Government Area of Borno State. The alert troops, supported by robust intelligence, promptly detected the incursion and responded with superior firepower in a well-coordinated air and ground counter-attack.

The prompt and effective employment of the Air Component of OPHK, particularly Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance as well as precision strike platforms from the Nigerian Air force, proved decisive. The precision air support integrated seamlessly with ground forces, disrupted the terrorists' assault and inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers, forcing them to flee in confusion. It is worthy to note that no casualties were recorded on own troops, while the terrorists suffered significant losses in personnel and equipment.

This latest success underscores the high state of readiness of OPHK troops and the synergy between the ground and air components in maintaining relentless pressure on the terrorists. The Theatre Command remains committed to denying insurgents freedom of action and ensuring the safety of law-abiding citizens across the North East theatre.

The public is urged to continue providing timely intelligence to security forces and to remain vigilant. OPHK would comtinue to sustain aggressive offensive operations to decisively degrade terrorist capabilities and restore lasting peace to the region.

A QUICK UPDATES ON FG NEWLY LAUNCHED FreeTV

In respect of my post this morning on the above subject, here are the quick updates for further clarifications and to reduce our curiosity on what we need to know about the usage.

There are three (ways) to watch FreeTV and they're as follows:

1. Satellite (DTH)
Users with DVB-S2 satellite-enabled TVs or free-to-air satellite receivers can connect directly to the NigComSat platform.

2. Terrestrial Television
If your TV supports DVB-T2 digital terrestrial broadcasting, you can receive FreeTV channels through terrestrial transmitters.

3. Mobile Application
The FreeTV mobile application is available on Android devices through the Google Play Store for download and install.

In Summary:
- FreeTV will be available through satellite, terrestrial broadcasting and mobile access nationwide.

What If You Have an Old Analogue TV?

You do not need to throw away your television.

You only need:
- A basic DVB-T2 set-top box, or
- A DVB-S2 satellite receiver

These devices convert digital signals into a format older TVs can display.

Importantly, the old encrypted DSO boxes are not mandatory.....

Good Morning to all the Patriotic Nigerians ONLY.....
