The universe respects motion like mad!!
You start at a point, take one step back, two steps forward, you end up one step ahead of where you began.
Compound the steps, you literally moved farther! Sure this is literally what we need to realize that a step back is still the dance

Nigeria’s budget problem isn’t just about low revenue. It’s about choices.

In a year where over 60% of Nigerians are projected to live in poverty, billions still find their way into routine government comforts with little scrutiny.

🇳🇬 Dear Nigerians, are you still paying attention?

Are you aware that the House of Representatives has now CONFIRMED what many of us have been warning about?

The House Minority Caucus, through its 7-man Ad-hoc Fact-Finding Committee chaired by Hon. Afam Victor Ogene, has released its interim report today, January 23, 2026.

That report confirms ILLEGAL ALTERATIONS to Nigeria’s tax reform laws AFTER they were passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu.

This is official parliamentary confirmation.

The committee investigated allegations first raised by Hon. Abdulsamad Dasuki and uncovered unauthorised changes, most notably within the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA), 2025.

Even more disturbing, the committee found that THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the same law are currently in circulation.

Only ONE version matches the Certified True Copies (CTCs) officially issued by the House of Representatives.

The others were quietly rewritten without debate, without approval, and without the knowledge of Nigerians.

Now the House uncovered the following:

There were secret alterations to Section 39(3) affecting the currency of tax computation.

Tax reporting thresholds were drastically reduced, pulling more Nigerians into the tax net without fresh legislative approval.

New provisions introduced mandatory 20 percent deposits before citizens can challenge tax assessments.

Enforcement powers were expanded to allow arrests and asset seizures without court orders.

National Assembly oversight was removed from revenue agencies, stripping away accountability mechanisms.

Now, let this be clearly stated.

These changes were made AFTER ASSENT.

That is not an administrative error o!
That is not a drafting oversight o!
That is TAMPERING WITH ENACTED LAW. That is FORGERY AND CONSTITUTIONAL SABOTAGE.

The committee itself described the situation as one marked by ILLEGALITIES, ANOMALIES, AND IMPUNITY, warning that entire sections of the laws may now be invalid.

Investigations are ongoing to determine who authorised and executed these alterations.

Dear Nigerians, please connect the dots.

Even the architects of the reform, @taiwoyedele, have admitted confusion. Guidelines were paused because they were “not sure” which version of the law is final.

KPMG tax experts had already flagged loopholes. Now the House of Representatives has confirmed forgery.

This is nowhere near the reform they have been preaching about. This is a POVERTY TAX AGENDA, enforced through deception and confusion.

What does this mean for you and me?

It means uncertainty over which law is valid.
It means heavier tax burdens on small businesses and struggling workers.
It means fear, harassment, and abuse enabled by unchecked enforcement powers.
It means a dangerous erosion of democracy itself.

At a time when hunger, hardship, and insecurity are overwhelming Nigerians, the response from this incompetent government has been to squeeze more from the people.

Please, I know your voices are tired, but continue to join us in demanding the IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION of these tainted laws.

Continue to demand accountability and prosecution of those who altered our laws.

This goes beyond party politics or affiliation!

It is about our rights, our livelihoods, and our future here!

Please do not be distracted Guys!

Nigerian billionaires are not innocent. They are definitely not self-made.

Oxfam’s data shows their fortunes come from monopoly, state capture, and “inheritance” while Nigerians are poorer today than yesterday.

35 years ago in Kwara State, a night of celebration became a nightmare when a building with 14 sleeping children caught fire. One man stepped in to stop a tragedy.

This is the story of Saka Daramola.

In the late 1980s, the begging game changed in Lagos. The modern beggar was born.

According to The Nigerian Economist:

▶️ The modern beggars are not found at bus stops or in all the traditional hunting grounds for common beggars.

▶️ They're usually well dressed and, in many cases, well educated, which probably explains why they operate with a touch of sophistication.

▶️ They quietly approach passers-by, apologise for the interruption, and offer a familiar story to solicit money. They claim to be stranded in Lagos after a failed visit to a relative or, alternatively, say they have run out of cash and need bus fare. In reality, they live in Lagos and repeat the same story each day.

▶️ The modern beggars also operate in offices, posing as job seekers. After the expected no-vacancy response, they claim to have no money for transport and ask for a small amount for a taxi fare. This method allows them to avoid being seen as beggars and to distinguish themselves from those who beg openly on the street.

▶️ The trend of modern beggars was attributed to economic hardship, unemployment, and poor policy planning, particularly in education.

▶️ Contributors also cited the breakdown of the extended family system, high living costs, and limited vocational opportunities, which left many unable to earn a stable living.

In 1989, seven people, including three police inspectors and four civilian auditors, were dragged before a court in Benin over a forgery scheme.

According to The Republic, those charged were Inspector Albert Owhobiore (51), Paul Ajibade (33), Richard Ajosie (45), Festus Okpoho (35), Joseph Ekpe (41), Johnson Akpojevwe (30), and Andrew Aguebor (27).

According to prosecutors, the group operated a payroll racket between July 1988 and July 1989, using fake salary schedules to siphon government funds.

Here’s how it played out:

▶️ Adesuwa Police Division, Benin City: Okpoho, Ekpe, Akpojevwe, Aguebor and Ajosie allegedly forged payroll documents and defrauded the Federal Government of ₦110,000 (roughly ₦2.8 million today).

▶️ Squadron 5, Mobile Police Force, Benin: The same group, alongside Ajibade, was accused of forging another payroll, stealing ₦58,000 (roughly ₦1.5 million today).

▶️ Sapele Police Division: Okpoho, Ekpe, Aguebor, Akpojevwe and Inspector Owhobiore were charged with another forgery that led to the loss of ₦62,000 (roughly ₦1.6 million today).

All the accused pleaded not guilty.
