THIS!!! It will soon become a case of "So what? We are corrupt, and there is nothing you can do about it." The judiciary is a toothless canine, and law enforcement and the military are compromised as well. Ambrosia Ijebu warned us all.

Ibanga Isine, an award-winning investigative journalist, did a multi-part deep dive into the killings in Southern Kaduna. By the time he published his investigation, nine of his sources had died mysteriously, one after another. Ibanga eventually fled Nigeria and only returned after El-Rufai was rendered politically irrelevant by the Tinubu administration.

As for me, after my release from 162 days of illegal detention, I began receiving death threats. My close friend, Rev. Fr. John Mark, who had called weeks earlier to warn me to be on my guard, was abducted and murdered without any ransom demand. I fled Nigeria by road and only returned after El-Rufai left office.

Abubakar Idris, popularly known as Dadiyata, was not so fortunate. He never made it back alive after his abduction. The same tactics used to abduct him were used against me in Port Harcourt, but God spared my life.

If you think El-Rufai deserves sympathy, then you need to have your brain seriously examined.

@Benfrank______ @UnitedStandMUFC @JamieJackson___ @guardian Well it's the wokeness that's killed the modern game.. Arguments shifted from what your club has won & how often they've won it, to "can your starboy do what my starboy does??"..
For the clubs, they make money off endorsements from said starboys, so they don't mind.

[Oluchukwu Mal'akh Nkpa @Mavluchi]

@Benfrank______ @UnitedStandMUFC @JamieJackson___ @guardian & fans too.. There's a healthy number of them still projecting his stats & calling him world class.

[Oluchukwu Mal'akh Nkpa @Mavluchi]

@Benfrank______ @UnitedStandMUFC @JamieJackson___ @guardian Worst part is that the stupid boy isn't even committed to staying.. In his last interview, he said he'll only make a decision after the world cup. Imagine second guessing playing for United 😒.
He's seen that Barca are going in for Adeyemi & his PR team are respinning this news.

It’s incredible how bias clouds people’s judgment.

I’ve genuinely lost hundreds of followers these last weeks just for expressing my admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.

One comment I always find bizarre is, “How can you be a Totti fan and a Ronaldo fan?” My answer is simple: “Cause I can?”

“But Totti chose loyalty over fame, glory and money, while Ronaldo is an arrogant egomaniac who thinks he’s the best!”

The same Totti who pretty much thinks only Maradona was better than him. The same Totti who wanted a director’s role at Roma despite never completing a single course. The same Totti who believed he could make a Serie A return at 48.

What an arrogant person this Totti guy is huh?

No, he is not.

I’m the person who spends the most time in the world consuming hours of Totti content every single day.

I’ve spent well into four figures acquiring full matches simply because I love watching him play and because I want to change the wider perception of just how good he really was.

I’m literally obsessed with Totti.

That doesn’t mean I have to pretend he was a flawless human being.

Just because I love Totti, the long hair, the low socks and the vintage football, doesn’t mean I can’t also admire Cristiano Ronaldo.

The idea that elite athletes don’t have enormous egos is one of the biggest misconceptions held by people who have never competed at a high level.

Every athlete who reaches that level believes they’re the best and you have to be that way in order to survive.

The inconsistency is what fascinates me.

Someone will say they prefer Messi over Ronaldo because Messi is a “humble boy just enjoying football” while Ronaldo is a “crying prima donna,” yet their favourite basketball player is Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, two of the most ruthless, ego-driven competitors sport has ever seen (as well as being dicks to their own teammates).

Or the same person will say they prefer Messi to Ronaldo because he’s a purer footballer and better all around while also at the same time ignores the same logic he built his argument on and prefers Salah over Hazard because of Salah’s ruthless efficiency and numbers.

It’s perfectly fine to prefer one player over another for valid footballing reasons.

What I find strange is when personality arguments are applied selectively depending on who people already like.

Football fans are nothing but pretentious actors.

This type of 16inch KDK in 1980 Nigeria was between ₦25 and ₦35.

Why KDK was so popular in Nigeria?

Built to last: Those copper motors could run 24/7 during NEPA wahala and still not burn. Many homes had one that lasted 15-20 years.

The 3 blades and heavy motor gave real wind, not just noise.

Even with voltage fluctuations, KDK fans survived. Technicians loved them because parts were simple to rewind.

In the 70s and 80s, if your house had a KDK, you were "up". They were in offices, schools, churches, and living rooms everywhere.

KDK is a Japanese brand under Panasonic. Nigeria imported millions of them before Chinese fans flooded the market.

PRESS RELEASE

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE

5 July 2026

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄

The Federal Government has noted recent public commentary alleging that approximately two percent of GDP amounting to over ₦8 trillion was spent outside the approved budget based on references to the IMF Representative in Nigeria and the Fund's 2026 Article IV Consultation Report. These claims are incorrect and risk misleading the public regarding the government's financial management.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Federal Government does not operate a "shadow budget" or expend public funds outside the constitutional and statutory framework established for public finance.

Under Sections 80 - 83 and 162 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), public funds may only be withdrawn and expended in accordance with the Constitution and laws enacted by the National Assembly. Accordingly, Federal Government expenditure is incurred pursuant to duly enacted Appropriation Acts, Supplementary Appropriation Acts, and other statutory authorities enacted by the National Assembly. In addition, multi-year capital projects which necessarily span multiple budgets are implemented in accordance with extant laws and approved provisions for capital rollovers where applicable. These are recognised features of public financial management and should not be misconstrued as expenditures outside the budget.

It is inaccurate to suggest that trillions of naira have been secretly spent outside legislative approval. Such allegations should have identified the specific projects purportedly executed without appropriation or legal authority and present credible evidence in support of the claim. To be meaningful, assertions of this magnitude must be supported by verifiable facts rather than conjecture.

For the purpose of public education, it is important to distinguish between appropriation, expenditure authorisation, financing, and fiscal reporting.

Nigeria's public finance framework contains several statutory transfers, first-line charges and intervention mechanisms established by Acts of the National Assembly. These include, among others:

- Statutory allocations and contributions to development commissions and other agencies created by law.

- Cost of collection and cost of administration retained by designated revenue-collecting agencies as expressly provided under relevant legislation.

- Capital expenditure approved in separate budgets for some agencies and the Federal Capital Territory by the National Assembly.

- Special interventions approved by law to address national priorities such as security, infrastructure, disaster response, and other strategic national programmes or emergencies.

- Debt service obligations and other statutory transfers that are authorised under applicable legislation.

These expenditures are neither secret nor illegal. They are established by law, disclosed in various fiscal reports, and subject to applicable oversight, audit and accountability mechanisms. Their treatment for reporting purposes may differ from their presentation in the annual Appropriation Act, particularly under international statistical and reporting standards adopted by the Federal Government. Such classification differences should not be misrepresented as evidence of unlawful expenditure.

It is equally incorrect to suggest that the reported amount represents an increase in budget deficit. A fiscal deficit is determined by the relationship between total government revenues and total government expenditures. Whether a capital project is financed through annual appropriations, supplementary appropriations, statutory transfers, approved intervention mechanisms, or other lawful financing arrangements does not, by itself, increase the fiscal deficit.

Indeed, the IMF's observation relates primarily to the comprehensiveness, timing and presentation of fiscal reporting rather than the legality of expenditure. Like many countries, Nigeria continues to strengthen the alignment between budget presentation and international fiscal reporting standards as part of ongoing public financial management reforms. As a matter of fact, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR had himself formally requested the National Assembly to end the practice of running multiple and overlapping budgets, and rather harmonise into a single, cohesive framework during his presentation of the 2026 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly on December 19, 2025.

The Federal Government remains firmly committed to prudent fiscal management, transparency and accountability. Recent reforms have significantly strengthened public financial management with ongoing improvements in budget assumptions and credibility, transparent revenue administration, digitalisation of government financial processes, and stronger treasury management. These reforms have been acknowledged by the IMF itself and other multilateral institutions, as well as international credit rating agencies, major media organisations and investors.

Public debate is both welcome and essential in a democratic society. However, it should be based on facts and an accurate understanding of Nigeria's constitutional and fiscal framework. Mischaracterising technical observations as evidence of unlawful expenditure neither advances informed public discourse nor strengthens democratic accountability.

The Federal Government will continue to uphold the rule of law, maintain transparency in the management of public resources, and work with the National Assembly, oversight institutions, development partners and the Nigerian people to further strengthen fiscal governance in line with international best practices.

Signed:

Taiwo Oyedele
Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy
Federal Republic of Nigeria
