Ifeyinwa Okwudo has now been expelled from Ezzy College of Nursing, Enugu.
She was the woman who indefinitely suspended Joy Ezeugwu for exposing the dilapidated state of Uwani Health Center, Enugu.
She also recently slapped a 9-months pregnant student three times.
To those of you oppressing our students: itโs only a matter of time before we shine our light on you.
Those children would have cried and cried and cried. Prayed, prayed and prayed! Itโs haunting! This is about to be their 27th night as captives of terrorists. Rain is falling, the nights are cold. A child amongst them has died from the harsh conditions. They witnessed a beheading and a shooting. The trauma of it all! ๐ญ๐ญ
The Nigerian Military honestly brought this on themselves! The way they brutalize and assault civilians because theyโre soldiers is very well documented! All of us will learn lessons.
"We should please assist the soldiers to fight. Whereby people sit in the comfort of their rooms and criticise the soldiers is unfair. I know a lot of you have been to Maiduguri, and you have seen the cemetery. Anybody who has been to that military cemetery in Maiduguri knows that these soldiers have been battered physically and psychologically. We bury our dead there. Why are we doing that? As we are there, we know that if we keep doing what we're doing, more will become casualties; yet we still remain steadfast for our dear country, Nigeria." โ Godwin Mutkut, commander, Infantry Corps of the Nigerian Army
Every Nigerian needs to pay very close attention to this official press release by the Finance Minister of Nigeria, Taiwo Oyedele. This serves as the direct response by the Federal Government to the International Monetary Fund 2026 Article IV Concluding Statement on Nigeria.
The recent IMF statement on Nigeria is overflowing with glowing praises for the Tinubu Administration and their supposedly brilliant economic policies.
The IMF is loudly cheering for the reunification of the foreign exchange market because the gap between the official and black market exchange rates has remained below 5%, which is absolutely fantastic for foreign investors since they love predictability, guaranteed margins, and zero currency friction. They also excitedly applaud the fact that Nigeria's foreign reserves have built back up, supposedly providing a comfortable cushion against global economic shocks. Finally, the IMF highly commended the Tinubu government's decisions to eliminate deficit monetization (which stopped the CBN from printing money to fund government projects) and to permanently remove petrol subsidies.
Now, the Tinubu Administration, speaking through the office of the Finance Minister, is proudly parading this IMF report like a shiny gold medal. They are framing this praise as an "independent validation" that their brutally painful economic policies over the past few years are finally yielding positive macroeconomic results. The glaring problem here is that this is not something Nigeria as a sovereign country should be celebrating, and this is entirely because of who the IMF actually works for and who dictates their underlying policies. The G7 nations and Western superpowers entirely control the IMF board, and the institution itself exists strictly to protect the financial interests of international creditor nations, massive global investment banks, ruthless hedge funds, and wealthy foreign bondholders. The primary job of the IMF is merely to ensure that the global financial system remains perfectly stable and that struggling developing nations never default on their massive, crippling debts to foreign creditors. Therefore, the IMF works exclusively for the lenders (the global financial-industrial complex), absolutely not for the bleeding borrowers like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or any other struggling African nation.
To see how bad this is, just observe this currency unification being praised by the IMF as a massive win for the Tinubu Administration. They are celebrating simply because the exchange rate is now mathematically stable and investors are finally happy. This is spectacularly good for foreign speculators, but it is deeply catastrophic for us because the currency stabilized at a spectacularly weaker level of N1,400 per dollar, compared to N770 in the black market and N450 in the official rate before this administration took over.
So yes, the currency is technically unified, but at a permanently crippled level. Since Nigeria is a heavily import-dependent economy, this unified weakness has made the cost of food, life-saving medicines, basic hospital bills, school fees, transportation, building materials, imported spare parts, and daily survival astronomical, thereby permanently destroying the purchasing power of everyday Nigerians.
Furthermore, the IMF congratulating the Tinubu Administration on increasing the country's foreign reserves might sound like brilliant news, until you suddenly realize that it is this exact, deliberate policy that violently crippled our local industries. Most of the money that makes up these bloated new foreign reserves was forcefully squeezed out of the removal of petrol subsidies, a move that has deeply suffocated our local businesses, artisans, manufacturers, and logistics companies who rely entirely on petrol generators to survive. But this is not even the full tragic story. Even the bloody change they violently squeezed out of the dying Nigerian middle class was not enough to impress these foreign investors. To aggressively entice them, the Tinubu Administration spiked the base interest rate from 18% up to a staggering 27%. This was no mistake. In the US, for example, when you lend money to the government by buying Treasury Bills, federal bonds, municipal securities, or index funds, the interest you expect to make per year is at most 5%. But the Nigerian government is desperately signaling to these foreign speculators and international bondholders to come drop their dollars in Nigeria, effectively guaranteeing them a massive 27% interest by the end of the year. This might look like a huge economic win as foreign capital flows into the country, but this hot money never ends up in the pockets of ordinary Nigerians. It is never used to build schools, pay hospital bills, subsidize agriculture, fix dead refineries, or reduce house rents. The money just sits idly in the central bank to impress the IMF and World Bank creditors, proving to them that Nigeria is highly liquid and perfectly safe to lend to.
The absolute worst part of this trap is that it is not just the CBN increasing the base interest rates. The commercial banks are naturally forced to aggressively increase their lending rates even higher. Today, some predatory commercial banks are charging desperate businesses as much as 35% to 40% interest on loans. This financial terrorism has forced countless local businesses to drastically cut down production, lay off massive numbers of staff, and permanently close their branches in remote areas across Nigeria, forcing them to operate strictly within the suffocating limits of their own personal, depleted capital. It is practically mathematically impossible to borrow from a Nigerian bank, scale up production, create actual wealth, and employ the millions of struggling graduates in our society when you first have to pay 40% to the bank. Add that to the reunified currency making imports insanely expensive, meaning businesses still have to pay extra for imported raw materials, clear goods at exorbitant customs duties, pay multiple state taxes, and buy the hyper-expensive fuel that spiked in price due to the celebrated subsidy removal.
It is very possible to analyze this insulting press release further, but there is absolutely no need to waste the time. Clearly, this administration should not be celebrating warm handshakes, pat-on-the-back press releases, and polite diplomatic smiles from foreign creditors and international bondholders. They should be focusing entirely on the bleeding Nigerians who are brutally forced to carry the crushing, suffocating burden of these massive economic miscalculations just to please a comfortable, wealthy board of directors at the World Bank and the IMF.
But fr, that bastard said he immediately removed fuel subsidy so the Government can inject the money into other things..
Almost 4 years in and the average Nigerian still cannot feel the positive impact of subsidy removal. Bro removed it so his cronies can steal it.
If not for how tribalism and religion have divided us, cooking gas at โฆ2,400 should cause a total shutdown on Monday morning.
But a shutdown is an attack on Tinubu and Ronu gangs.
The Kidnapped Principal said they were not hurt by those Terrorists but, the Mathematics Teacher was beheaded right?
If you like believe the latest video from those Terrorists.
I bear this scar and pain for Jesus. This is the mark that I left darkness into light.
Although, after many surgeries, the medical complications are still there, but I will never go back from following Jesus.
I was in a church sharing my salvation experience, and after I have preached and about 300 hundred gave their lives to Christ, as I was coming out of the church, some people shouted, Pastor we need your help.
Unknown to me, they were angry Muslim who were bittษred because of a growing number of people who are leaving Islam in my community in Gambia because of my testimony.
As I looked back, one of them poured a bucked of acid on my face, as I turned the other side, another one poured another bucket of acid and they were shouting:
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar".
My eyes were affected but not totally blinded. I am joyfully bearing the scars and the pain. That is the price I have to pay in following Jesus.
Brethren stood by me, they prayed for me, they took care of me. There is love in Jesus.
Please ๐ pray that the Lord will heal my pains completely. Pray for my faith not to shake.
Although, they are still threatening me, but there is no going back from following Jesus.
