Bola @officialABAT, your campaign spokesman has admitted that ministers paid billions in bribes to secure their appointments. You appointed them, so who received the money? Nigerians deserve names, not silence.
Your government’s reckless decisions have driven the cost-of-living crisis. And when you withhold funds from ministries because you distrust your own ministers, Nigerians are left paying for a government that has abandoned them. -AA

"You cannot ask Moses to go back to Egypt" — President Tinubu dismisses opponents' promise to return subsidy
President Bola Tinubu has dismissed his political opponents' promises to bring back subsidy, saying the country cannot return to what it left behind. "I listen to my political opponents promising the return of subsidy," he said, before turning to scripture to make his point.
Recalling his scripture studies, which he said were "in either the Bible or the Holy Quran," Tinubu said that when Moses left Egypt, "they faced the challenge, the Red Sea parted and gave way." He then added: "You cannot ask Moses to go back to Egypt."
Pastor Dr Paul Enenche has always been consistent in speaking on behalf of Christians in Nigeria.

about 3 years ago, micro1 lost 60% of its revenue overnight and almost went bankrupt.
today, i'm proud to share we've surpassed $1B annual run rate while remaining historically profitable.
it’s been a special journey. we’re grateful for every struggle, moment, and person who has been part of it.
we've taken a very untraditional path to get here. our core team is only ~180 people, spanning 14+ countries, and fully remote.
many of our decisions sacrifice hundreds of millions of revenue and slow us down short term. but we believe they compound into advantages that are impossible to replicate long term.
the long term is now.
these are the 8 principles that made micro1 a leader in the data industry and will soon make us number one:
1.) human 1st AI: treat the tens of thousands of experts helping train models with absolute best-in-class care. our goal is to make AI training one of the largest, highest paying, and most enjoyable job sectors in the world.
2.) U.S. first: we refuse to work with adversarial nations, or export data that improves models against the interests of Americans.
3.) long-term research over short-term ARR: invest in deep research, products, and infrastructure for years from now, not just the next customer pipeline.
4.) proper incentives for intensely hard work: no arbitrary requirements like 996. inspire people to work extremely hard with outlier incentive structures instead of forcing weekend work. we’ve maintained close to 100% core team retention as a result.
5.) stay lean and global: we’ve reached $1B run rate with ~180 people, and intend to slow team growth significantly from here. exceptional talent is found around the world, and pedigree is the wrong thing to over-index on.
6.) execution alignment: company to retain a streamlined board so we can optimize for the next several decades, remain light-weight and dynamic, and take bold & calculated risks.
7.) abundant intelligence improvement: invest in building data generation models to make high-quality datasets and RL environments dramatically less expensive and more abundant.
8.) scale data on realism and horizon: realism brings the complexity of the real world into training models, while horizon extends how long models can work and how much complexity they can handle. both have enormous room to scale, and we’re pushing the limits of both.
additionally: after surpassing $500M run rate this summer, we priced our Series B at a $4B valuation, alongside a ~$25M tender to give our early employees liquidity as we build for the long term. the round was led by Dream Ventures, a longtime supporter and one of our earliest investors, alongside Microsoft, Javelin, Flybridge, G Squared, Up Partners, and LG.
we’re also grateful to be backed by incredible industry leaders, including Guodong Zhang (co-founder of xAI), Andy Fang (CTO of DoorDash), Igor Babuschkin (co-founder of xAI), Behnam Neyshabur (founder of Mirendil), Jerry Tworek (ex-VP of Research at OpenAI), and many more.
data is on its way to becoming the largest industry humanity has ever seen, and we're certain this is just the beginning.
best,
Ali

BREAKING 🚨: NNPC has extended its N66-per-litre petrol discount to October 31, giving motorists three additional weeks of relief amid rising fuel prices linked to the Middle East conflict.
Nigerians are not just looking for apologies; they want results.
A second chance is earned through accountability, improved living conditions, affordable food and fuel, and policies that work for ordinary citizens.
The question is not whether Nigerians should give you another chance, but what will be different this time?
Petrol Could Hit ₦2,000, Dollar Could Reach ₦3,000 — FG Warns Against Fuel Subsidy Return
The Federal Government has warned that bringing back petrol subsidy could push the pump price to at least ₦2,000 per litre and weaken the naira to about ₦3,000 to the dollar within months.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, gave the projection on Thursday during a press briefing on fuel prices and the subsidy debate in Abuja.
Oyedele said a return to subsidy would reduce government revenue, potentially trigger a sovereign credit downgrade, increase borrowing costs, cause capital flight and reduce foreign exchange reserves.
According to him, the resulting pressure could weaken the naira and threaten recent progress on inflation and interest-rate reductions.
“Our estimate is that the exchange rate could approach ₦3,000 to the dollar within months, and so-called subsidised petrol would cost at least ₦2,000 a litre. That is well above what Nigerians pay today,” he said.
Oyedele argued that subsidy does not actually reduce the cost of petrol but only shifts the burden to government finances.
“A subsidy does not lower the cost of fuel. It only changes how it is paid, and when,” he said, warning that it could ultimately be financed through unpaid salaries and pensions, higher taxes or money printing.
He described subsidy as offering “short-term relief” while creating “long-term fragility” and said the government remained open to alternatives if proponents could show the cost, sustainable funding source and resulting pump price.
₦300 petrol sounds like music to the ears of every Nigerian struggling with today’s cost of living. But Nigerians have heard plenty of promises before.
The real question is simple: show us the arithmetic, the funding model, and how you’ll keep ₦300 sustainable without bringing back the same subsidy problems we’ve been fighting for years.
There’s some truth behind this, but the real issue isn’t whether she’s a first daughter or comes from a poor family. It’s whether both partners understand the responsibilities they’re taking on.
