The Government Is Carrying Out Reforms, But Poverty, Unemployment, and Insecurity Are Increasing - Ngwu
These are fundamental criteria and factors used to assess the effectiveness of governance. Until these indicators start moving in the right direction, reforms might be perceived as not being effective.

Is this how to build a country? Three key institutions ( the National Assembly, the Judiciary & the Security Agencies) that should put things right are busy standing on the mandate. Let's see how far this will take us!
Tomorrow at Court 4 of @FederalHigh in Abuja, @OfficialDSSNG will initiate one of the more spectacular cases of weaponization & #AbuseOfPower in recent #Nigerian history.
It concerns a land dispute in Shendam, in Plateau South. @GTsenyen, former chairman of @NigBarAssoc in Shendam, accuses the current president of @NGCourtofAppeal of involvement in forcibly taking his family land. He has sued & the matter is pending in the High Court of Plateau State in Shendam.
Mr. Tsenyen also did a petition to @NJCNig against the president of the Court of Appeal but the #NJC said the matter does not rise to judicial misconduct & should be left to the civil courts to decide.
In a bizarre twist, the #SSS is now charging Mr. Tsenyen with some unimaginative "crimes" under the #Cybercrimes Act arising from posts he made on the community WhatsApp platform about this matter of the allegation of theft of his family land by the President of the Court of Appeal with whom he comes from the same village.
This matter arose in Plateau State but they have managedtoi invent a federal charge in Abuja. The tragedy here should be lain to everyone.
Plateau State is struggling with massacres on an agricultural scale. The SSS has the primary constitutional duty to end it. Instead, it is derailed into being used for a matter that could not possibly in any way engage the internal security of the country.
A group of residents have staged a symbolic "commissioning" of the Akwete section of the Obehie–Azumini Road in Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State to draw attention to the poor condition of the road.
According to the organisers, the event was intended as a symbolic protest highlighting what they described as decades of neglect of the road, which links Abia and Akwa Ibom states. They noted that despite Akwete producing several political leaders over the years, the community continues to contend with a severely deteriorated road.
The organisers said the symbolic commissioning of the road's potholes was aimed at drawing public attention to the need for government intervention and the reconstruction of the federal road.
In life, there are incredible moments and experiences that words alone cannot perfectly describe.

Until public office is stripped of its material attractions public life will majorly attract people whose goals are not service and whose service will more likely bring misery to the people than progress.
“If you look at the people we call leaders—go to the Senate, go to the House of Representatives—why should a senator or a member of the House be a praise singer for anyone? Why are those in government not able to face their boss and say, “Oga, this is the truth”? You have people who are supposed to represent the values of society behaving like illiterates. By the time you become a governor, you should be beyond looking for money. Most of Nigeria’s ruling class lack values—they are too cheap. If we truly want to fix this country, we need a principled ruling class. The ruling class needs to have values—values beyond stomach infrastructure.”

Tinubu spoke at Eagle Square and the fact-checkers went to work immediately.
State allocations tripled? Mostly true. But tripled naira allocations during hyperinflation is not prosperity. It is inflation wearing a bigger number.
Subsidy removal stabilised the economy? Debatable. Tell that to the man spending ₦300,000 on fuel weekly and the family eating once a day.
Nigeria ranks second in renewable energy behind India? Completely false. Not even close. China, USA, and Brazil would like a word.
APC remains intact? True. But a party that stays together to share power while Nigerians suffer is not a success story. It is a coalition of interests protecting itself.
Laser-focused on results? The lights are still off. The soldiers are still dying. The fuel is still ₦1,450.
A convention is not governance. A speech is not delivery.
Eagle Square looked full. Nigeria still feels empty. 👀

Botswana’s President, Duma Gideon Boko, has declined an invitation from United States President Trump to visit the White House.
According to the words of Botswana President Boko:
“If there is any business or official engagement to discuss, it should take place in Botswana, not abroad.
Botswana is tired of traveling abroad for deals that concern its own resources.
If there is genuine interest in our resources, come to Botswana so we can talk business.
Let us respect the basic principle of commerce: buyers should go to the sellers. If the situation is reversed, then the buyer’s interest is not truly valuable.”
Back in the 1990s I put my life on the line that Nigeria may be free. Today it became clear that freedom has been murdered. I call on Concerned Professionals to return to the struggle for the liberation of the Nigerian people from a cabal foisting on us advance election rigging
Aliko Dangote has urged the Nigerian government to convene an emergency national retreat to resolve the country’s chronic electricity crisis.
Speaking at the launch of the National Industrial Policy 2025, he warned that unreliable power supply is the single biggest threat to industrial growth.
Recent gas maintenance disruptions that triggered nationwide outages have deepened manufacturers' concerns.
Dangote insists that stable electricity and stronger protection for local industries are critical to unlocking Nigeria’s $500 billion economy.
