I just came from Campus where I went to visit my daughter. I owe her admission to God and the effort of one man, Alex Onyia. He challenged JAMB for failing students from Lagos and Southeastern States.

Fortunately, JAMB admitted their error and exams were rewritten. My daughter who had previously scored 179, later scored 299 which gave her straight admission for her chosen course of study.

Alex Onyia organized the successful South East Maths Olympiad where three students Egejurum Onyedikachi, Onwubiko Chimdiebube and Don-Anele Munachimso emerged as champions. They won cash prizes in millions together with their teachers. Many corporate organizations were partners.

The students are currently competing on a global stage at the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale happening in Rome from July 2nd - 8th.

This is not the effort of the Federal Government of Nigeria or a State Government or Local Government. It is the effort of just one man with support from the citizenry - Alex Onyia!

Dear Mr. @taiwoyedele

Honourable Minister,

Thank you for taking the time to address the concerns raised following the IMF’s observations. Public engagement on matters of fiscal policy is essential, and your willingness to respond is welcome.

I believe your statement correctly makes one important distinction that should not be lost in the public debate. The IMF did not accuse the Federal Government of operating an illegal “shadow budget,” nor did it allege that public funds were stolen or expended without legal authority. It is therefore right to caution against characterising the IMF’s observations as allegations of criminality where none were made.

However, the issue that appears to remain unanswered is the very concern the IMF raised. The question is not simply whether the expenditure was lawful. The question is why expenditure equivalent to approximately 2% of GDP was reportedly not reflected in the official budget in a manner that resulted in a divergence between Nigeria’s reported fiscal deficit and its actual financing needs.

That distinction matters. Expenditure can be perfectly lawful and still not be presented in a way that provides citizens, legislators, investors and development partners with a complete picture of the government’s fiscal position. Transparency is not only about legality; it is also about comprehensiveness, clarity and faithful representation.

Your statement explains that some expenditures arise through statutory transfers, first-line charges, multi-year capital projects, intervention mechanisms and other lawful arrangements. If these categories account for the IMF’s observations, it would greatly strengthen public confidence if the Ministry published a reconciliation showing how those expenditures relate to the figures referenced by the IMF. Such a reconciliation would move the discussion from competing narratives to verifiable facts. Which is important at this point.

Specifically, it would be helpful to clarify:

1. Which expenditures make up the approximately 2% of GDP referenced by the IMF?

2. In which public fiscal reports are those expenditures disclosed?

3. How do those reported figures reconcile with the approved Appropriation Acts and the government’s published fiscal deficit?

4. Why did the IMF conclude that there was a difference between the reported fiscal deficit and the government’s actual financing needs if the reporting already presents a complete picture?

I also commend your reference to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s request to eliminate overlapping and multiple budgets. That acknowledgement suggests there is room for improving the coherence and presentation of Nigeria’s fiscal framework, which appears broadly consistent with the IMF’s recommendation.

Ultimately, this should not become a debate about whether the government acted lawfully versus whether the IMF acted responsibly. Both can be acting in good faith while highlighting different aspects of the same issue. The public deserves clarity on both legality and transparency.

The strongest way to settle this matter is through evidence. A detailed reconciliation of the relevant expenditures, their legal basis, and their treatment in Nigeria’s fiscal reports would answer the IMF’s observations far more convincingly than competing interpretations ever could.

Our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, just came out of the International STEM Olympiad finale.

Listen to his experience.

We are rooting for him to win gold.

[Dejii™ @_Dejii]

Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi, the DG of the “non existent” agency that found its way into the 2026 Budget claimed that the Late Mr. Babatunde Tanimola was the intermediary between him and COS (Femi Gbaja). Mr Babatunde was later confirmed by the police to have died in a mysterious fire incident at Kachi Hotel in Abuja a day after COS petition was received by the Police and five days before Adeyemi’s arrest.

But who was Mr. Babatunde Dolapo Tanimola?

[Queen Bee 👑 🐝 @RealQueenBee__]

Hey everyone, Bayo Onanuga told you the Tinubu government didn't know about that agency.

But way back in 2015, they were already using it to funnel money through fake projects, overseas training, and events worldwide.

It was a total free-for-all for them. Just imagine something, write a memo, and the money's approved and split among them. This isn't the only agency like this; there are tons more.

The Chief of Staff, SGF, CBN, NASS Leadership, and others all have their own agencies that give them monthly kickbacks.

This is just the beginning... I hope your notification bell is ON.

You've got to help make sure corruption is totally wiped out in Nigeria, and you can do your part by sharing this post so 500k Nigerians see it.

Let's go...

Flood: Coastal Road Has Compromised the Lagos Lagoon - Iyamu

When you begin to tamper with the coastal environment, you must account for the response mechanisms and how they affect the coastal system. If the government is going to pour that much concrete onto the ground, it must also consider how to mitigate the road’s impact on the lagoon and surrounding wetlands. The African continent has been warned about the impact of climate change. The continent must overhaul its flood response system. We must do away with primitive responses

[Femi Obaf @OBAF4U]

You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.

If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.

The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven.
They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it?
Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Same way they swept Akpabio's case under the carpet, this would ultimately go the same route
Those are not political questions.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

The presidency is telling you the man in this video created a fake agency that got mentioned in the national budget, got budget allocation from our national funds, a budget signed by the president;

Same man had an office at the government’s owned federal secretariat, had meetings with heads of the National Assembly, held strategic sessions with ambassadors of other countries,

Yet the govt says the agency is ‘fake’ and non existent, that they know nothing about it.

It takes an A-grade level of mentally incapacitating insanity to see all of this and continue to support the APC and defend these lying animals in Aso Rock.

[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑬𝑹𝑨𝑳 𝑺𝑵𝑶𝑾 🇨🇮 @GeneralSnow_]

So Bayo Onanuga wants us to believe Prince Adeniyi sponsored this Pre-World Investment Summit all by himself.

Anybody supporting APC is a Criminal.
