Oil Prices Drop To Pre-War Level But Fuel Still Sold Above N1,000 In Nigeria

This morning on the Murtala Muhammed International Airport road, I was stopped by police officers led by Officer Adodo, Momoh Yusuf, and (I believe) Adebowale. I was unfamiliar with the route and was simply using Google Maps to make a U-turn back towards the airport when they intercepted me, and accused me of switching to wrong lane.

They proceeded to demand ₦185,000 from me and eventually extorted ₦25,000. It was a distressing experience.

Honestly, it’s disheartening that situations like this still persist, with little to no sign of meaningful change anytime soon. Even with someone like Oga @TunjiDisu1 at the helm of police affairs.

But we keep hoping for the best for our country. @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU @AbimbolaShotayo

Guys, I have retrieved my ₦100,000 from those lawless group of officers.

Special thanks to:
@TunjiDisu1
@PoliceNG_CRU
@PoliceNG
DPO and DCO, Akinpelu Police Division
@CspIniedu
@LagosPoliceNG

...and thank you for your dogged fight against irresponsible policing.

These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.

They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.

These are the names I could copy:
Francis Adekunle
2087495551
Kuda

Friday Ikpe
9136237110
Okay

This is the phone number of the notorious Officer Friday Ikpe 09136237110. I got it from his opay

@PoliceNG @BenHundeyin @Princemoye1

Please my mutuals, if you see this on your TL, help repost or tag other relevant authorities until these criminals are apprehended.

Message to Obidients

I have said that the Obidients are the greatest political resource for Nigeria’s political transformation.

Now, listen

Forget the primaries

Focus on driving @PeterObi to the presidency

30 good legislators would not change Nigeria

1 truly transformative President will change Nigeria.

Focus on Peter Obi. Support NDC. Get to work

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has dismissed reports that the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Kwankwaso, threatened to leave the party over the replacement of some candidates.

NDC’s New Election Strategy Sparks Debate as Pat Utomi Announces Independent Result Transmission Plan:

Prof. Pat Utomi says the NDC is preparing its own independent election result transmission system ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to him, election results from polling units across Nigeria will be transmitted live and monitored globally through major international media platforms, including CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and credible Nigerian news outlets.

Utomi also revealed that the party plans to deploy a strong network of polling unit agents nationwide to ensure votes are protected and election officials are not subjected to intimidation.

[Everest @novieverest]

I am very confident of the plans being put in place by Prof Pat Utomi's team.
Now that we know that INEC's server is compromised we will digitalize the election ourselves.

APC is anti-progressive.

Turns out some people weren’t fighting for better governance, they were just supporting their tribe. What a country. 💔😂

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation.

During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology:
Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved.
The list of the entourage included

1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States
2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State
3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence
4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX
5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia
6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple
7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock
8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone
9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing
10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill
11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup
12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric
13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs
14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology
15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm
16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta
17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa
18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard
19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent
20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina

That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity.

I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom.

A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home?

Which factories are coming to Nigeria?
What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured?
How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths?
What investments were attracted?
What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to?
The delegation reportedly included:
1. President Bola Tinubu
2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu
3.12 governors
4.9 ministers
5.7 members of the National Assembly
6. Over 20 senior State House staff
7. Over 30 security personnel
8. Over 10 domestic staff
9. Several supporters and associates

It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens.

Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty.
At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities.

Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Dear ADC.

Please do not do this consensus thing in the party , tell everyone that there shall be direct primaries and it should be free and fair.

Hope this advice is taken.

[CrownprinceCom2 @CrownprinceCom2]

Treat with urgent: Obidients if you have registered for the ADC party, kindly go and deregister now. Repost aggressively ✅

EFCC's Troubling Revelation on Our Students.

The worrisome statement by the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that 6 out of every 10 Nigerian university students are involved in “419” is deeply troubling and must not be taken lightly.

Nigeria already has a very limited number of students in higher institutions, estimated at 2 to 2.5 million. If indeed about 60% of them, roughly 1.4 million young people, are involved in fraud, then we are not just facing a crime issue; we are confronting a serious moral and systemic failure.

The question we must ask ourselves is: what has brought us to this level? Who are the role models these students are looking up to?. What values are they learning from society?

We must understand that young people become what they consistently see. When a system appears to reward wrongdoing, when integrity is not upheld, and when those in leadership are associated with allegations of forgery and dishonesty without consequence, it sends a dangerous message.

It suggests that hard work does not matter, and that results, by any means, are acceptable. These points clearly point to a collapse of moral values.

As Socrates rightly said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Nigeria must now examine itself.

This is not about condemning our young people. It is about accepting that leadership sets the tone. If we do not demonstrate integrity at the top, we cannot expect it at the bottom.

We must urgently rebuild our value system, enforce accountability without bias, and create an environment where honesty, hard work, and discipline are rewarded. That is the only sustainable path to securing the future of our nation.

A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO

Kai this Yusuf Buhari contest have open old wounds.

People are now scapegoating all his father's failure on him. Honestly this contest seems a bad adventure.

What are they even looking for ?
