Here in Bangkok, I sat down with Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, to discuss the impact of Nigeria’s reforms on ordinary Nigerians and the rationale behind the recent 30-day fuel price reduction.
Innalillahi wainna ilaihi raji'un 😭💔
Seeing people whom you know personally and live together with them, are in captivity is a pain words can hardly explain 💔
Allah ya kubutar dasu
Dan Allah include them in your prayers

FOREIGNERS BEATING NIGERIANS IN NIGERIA: A NATIONAL SHAME*
What we saw in that video of an Indian national beating two Nigerian truck drivers, Riliwan Olajide and Taiwo Yinusa, with the help of Nigerian thugs on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is not new. It is a pattern. And it is wrong.
How can a Nigerian be abused in Ghana, be abused in South Africa, be abused in Libya, be abused in India itself - and still come back to his father's land and be abused again by the same foreigners in his own country? Where then is safe for a Nigerian?
This is what happens when a government makes foreigners feel like gods and its own citizens feel like slaves.
Today in Nigeria, a Chinese man will slap a Nigerian worker in a factory in Ogun State and nothing happens. A Lebanese man will seize the passport of a Nigerian girl working in his restaurant and use her as a slave and nothing happens. An Indian factory owner in Lagos will flog his workers like animals and beat truck drivers with sticks using hired thugs and nothing happens.
Why? Because the government has told them, through its silence, that Nigerian lives do not matter.
A foreigner knows that if he beats a Nigerian, he will not be arrested. He knows he can call the police and the police will come to protect him, not the Nigerian. He knows he has money and our officials have hunger for money. So he does what he cannot try in his own country.
No Indian can beat a Chinese driver in India with Nigerian thugs and go free. No Lebanese can beat an American worker in America and still keep his business open the next day. But in Nigeria, anything is possible.
If government does not act on this Karma Agric Feed & Foods case, it is sending a message that it encourages this abuse. Because justice delayed is encouragement. Every day that man is still walking free, other foreign factory owners are learning that they too can beat Nigerians and nothing will happen.
Nigeria must not be a country where Nigerians are strangers. We cannot be unsafe in foreign lands and still be unsafe in the hands of foreigners in our father's land.
If a Nigerian breaks the law in India, India jails him. If a foreigner breaks the law in Nigeria, Nigeria must jail him too. That is what sovereignty means.
Until we start defending our own people on our own soil, no other nation will respect us outside.
They used the FAKE COASTAL ROAD as a pretext to destroy Landmark, a major business that gave people jobs.
Then used Batidiots to gaslight Nigerians that Paul Onwunibe is just an Igbo man playing victim.
David Umahi will pay for his crimes, no matter how long it takes.
First images from the ambush on traveler's and military escort by terrorists at dansadau - gusau highway Zamfara state yesterday..... Just look at how bad the road is... The videos were posted on a mali terrorist group link SM account
VIDEO: Ahmed Zakka, who was abducted in Millennium City, Kaduna, is appealing for help in a heartbreaking video. He is being held alongside his wife and their baby by bandits.
A whole family in captivity, including an innocent baby😭
We hope the authorities and everyone who can help will do everything possible to secure their safe release.
This man named "Omeogo" lived in USA and made this video shortly after he was told he has few months left to live due to Cancer.
He went to Nigeria to make this video. Traveled back to USA and d!ed 2 days after arrival.
Farewelll to you Omeogo!
VIDEO: A busload of passengers was reportedly being chased by bandits on motorcycles along a road in Kebbi State.
This is what Nigeria has turned into a country where even travelling on the road has become a matter of life and death. 💔💔💔
BREAKING: The Federal Government Announces a 30-Day Discount on Petrol Through NNPC stations
“We are offering a discount on petrol dispensed by NNPC limited for the next 30 days in the first instance with priority for public transporters nationwide. So, it’s not a subsidy, government is just saying we sell to you at cost.”
- Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele
Oga get out from this office.🙄
In this video: A Nigerian police officer has refused to retire or leave his office, even after the command officially retired him.👀
From Abacha to Tinubu, Nigeria keeps changing presidents. The Chagoury brothers, meanwhile, remain a striking constant around the corridors of presidential power. Different administrations, familiar access.
