I was a bit upset too when I first saw the clip until I watched the full video. I honestly don’t see what the outrage is about.
She never said people should go and start frying akara or kulikuli. She was only explaining the empowerment programmes she has carried out, the grants that have been distributed, and how some small businesses don’t require millions to get off the ground.
Funny how you guys conveniently skipped the part where she talked about the billions donated to cancer intervention, healthcare, education, agriculture, and other empowerment initiatives.
Let’s pretend that there are no people that need as low as N100k to set up a mini business.
The beneficiaries of the grants didn’t complain. The people who needed the support received it.
You don’t have to like the government. You don’t even have to agree with their policy. But deliberately stripping a statement of its context just to manufacture outrage is very dishonest.
Five things the Tinubu Administration is getting right.
1. Fiscal reforms and revenue generation. The removal of the fuel subsidy has freed up significant resources, leading to a surge in federation revenues and more funds flowing to states and local governments for infrastructure, salaries, and development.
2. GDP growth and economic stabilization. Q1 2026 saw growth around 3.89%. The non-oil sector contributes the bulk, showing diversification momentum alongside oil recovery. Reforms like FX unification have supported trade surpluses and investor confidence.
3. Education access via NELFUND student loans & curbing ASUU strike actions. Over 1.5 million students gaining access to funding across hundreds of institutions. This marks a major expansion of access to higher education, reducing reliance on strikes and improving stability in universities
4. Strengthening foreign reserves and FX stability. External reserves have climbed to multi-year highs with reported $50 billion+ as of today , representing a 17 year peak. This reflects better management, inflows, and policy adjustments, contributing to greater exchange rate stability compared to earlier volatility. I ❤️this!
5. Infrastructure & resumption of abandoned projects. Ongoing road construction/rehabilitation (thousands of km), rail upgrades, new dams and aviation upgrades + expansions.
I will be dropping a post on 5 things they haven’t gotten right tomorrow. For now, what else have they gotten right ?
Nigeria Forward 🇳🇬💚
Yoruba is also tonal language with every word ending in viral sounds. Some dialects are spoken as if you are singing. That is why it has always been a preferred choice for singing by most people - even those who are not Yorubas.
Christy Essien was not Yoruba but her biggest musical legacy is a Yoruba song 'Seun Rere'.
It is a musical language with a family of drums, including one that mimics the language's tonality.
What you call Yoruba tax is a blessing from God to the Yorubas & those who are ready to partake of it.
“Where is the money for the subsidy going?” “Why is the government taking loan?” Watch this to improve your understanding. Don’t let anyone misinform you.
