When You have the likes of Dino Melaye, Kenneth Okonkwo, Aisha Yesufu and others as your brain box ....

The result is always a journey to perdition....
In 2018....

APC NEC approved the extension of the tenure of all APC executives led by Odigie Oyegun and it's 36 states chairmen.... to oversee the 2019 electoral process....

APC brain box like Osibanjo....went home...Studied the law and sensed danger....

Prof Osibanjo advised the party to immediately reverse the action..

That if allowed to stand.... APC victory from Hose of Assembly to the presidency will be annulled in 2019 polls and PDP the then biggest party in opposition.... Will inherit every victory of APC....

President Buhari sent bright minds in APC to study the advice.... and discovered that APC NEC and Leadership almost carelessly buried the APC....

Oyegun leadership was eased out in a national convention to usher in Oshiomole team...

Just imagine APC not having those brainbox....they would have spent the last 8 years watching Atiku as president, Dino as Finance minister, Kenneth Okonkwo as CBN gov......

Since 2022 ..the sets of opposition Nigeria had are groups of people that shouldn't even be allowed to lead a village not to talk of town...

Ameachi the second in command to Atiku liquidated APC in River State...

in 2018 a court told Amaechi not to conduct party Congress....

Because he saw himself as the law...he went ahead....Disobeyed the court ...and the court exercise it's powers and barred Rivers APC....

Amaechi had no Tinubu to blame...He had an APC senator he was fighting with , Reps he couldn't unite.... APC lost all...

Atiku now told Amaechi who led Rivers APC to extinction to head the committee that would advise them on the party they would hijack....

And they equally hijacked a party that would take all of them to extinction...

Against the advise of an El Rufai who has already hijacked a horse that may take all of them to Jedda for Atiku well deserved retirement...

This time Amaechi have a Tinubu to blame....

Like Seyi...who kept telling Nigeria judges ' show me the law' and ignore the judges ruling to hold his Amala and Gbegiri convention in Ibadan...

When these guys display their impunity and the law catch up with them....They blame Tinubu....

Yari as gov handpicked everyone contesting in Zamfara....
The court sacked all of them.... The law is the law.... It respect no party or position...
You mess up... Their hammer hit ur head..

Nigeria is not banana republic...

Till date he won't forgive Oshiomole for A grave taboo Yari himself committed against democracy....

This morning....A court his about to retire Obi to Agulu even before voting.... Kwakwanso won't be spared...

Nigeria have 18 political parties ....

Obi and Kwakwanso ...like Herdsmen leading millions of melu melu....

Went to a party .whose leadership were clearly stated in INEC website that " they exist because of court order "...

Went in and were being used as sl@ves by the court order Ayatollah....

Joining Sowore and wearing Yellow beret everywhere was even more dignifying....

They were like men buying a land with a big inscription of '' THIS LAND NOT FOR SALE "

instead of facing the consequences of their cluelessness.....

Tinubu would be held responsible for not teaching them how to join a litigation free party....

How any normal human can convince humanity that these guys can even lead a village of 100 people is the greatest wonder of the world...

Some years ago, I was seriously embarrassed in Dubai when all their POS machines refused to honour payment from my Nigerian Bank Card, even though at the time I had the GoldCard, which was issued to me by Access Bank.
I also had my ATM cards, which I had used on previous trips in other countries.
A lady bailed me out at the Thai restaurant in Dubai that day, as I had no other form of payment whatsoever.
I came on X that same day and asked if there is a Nigerian food vendor in Dubai who could supply me with food and get paid in Naira.
That was how someone reached out to me in my DM, and that was how I was able to survive in Dubai for my one-week trip.
When I got back home, I was told that only Providus Bank Dollar and GBP cards were working abroad at the time.
I had no option but to sign up with Providus.
A few months later, I lodged into the Courtyard by Sheraton Hotel in Heathrow and my Providus bank card (Naira card was rejected too)
Again, the embarrassment was phenomenal.
A sister in London became my saving grace. I depended on her to use her bank cards for my hotel booking, train ticket, Uber, food and other essentials.
She would pay and send me the bill at the end of my trip, and I would then transfer the funds to her in Naira or GBP.
I tried hard to get a bank account in the UK, the USA and Europe.
I spoke with a bank in Amsterdam, spoke with a bank manager directly, and I was told that as long as I don't have a residence address in the UK, I cannot get a bank account.
I remember another friend who gave me her Bank card and PIN to use, but I had to politely decline because I didn't want to be indebted in that sense to this particular person.
Because travelling is a prerequisite of my work, it was extremely frustrating not to be able to do so with ease.
I would watch other people use their phones to process payment in foreign countries, but Apple Pay refused to recognise my Nigerian bank cards.
Eventually, I was introduced to some banking apps like WISE, GraBify, Titan, Revolut, Chipper, Timon and many more.
These were foreign solutions introduced to the Nigerian Market because the financial system of the country was not rated as acceptable by global financial institutions.
My sister in Canada could open a PayPal account on my behalf using her Canadian address, but I couldn't transact anything financial on the account because I have a Nigerian passport.
I came to Ghana for the Flight two years ago with @YoungFemo_, and I had to change Naira to Cedis at the airport because my Naira bank card wouldn't work.
I missed out on a foreign trip to Dubai that same year because Nigeria was blacklisted by airlines due to the country's inability to remit funds to them in USD.
For that trip, I went as far as Cotonou to catch a flight to Dubai, but I was singled out of the passenger list as we were about to board because I had a Nigerian passport on me.
My mother was travelling to Nigeria from the USA, and she had to stay at a hotel in Miami. I booked the hotel on my Marriott Bonvoy App, but my Naira card was rejected, and I had to call another sister in the UK to bail me out so that my mother would be able to check into the hotel in Miami
I believe in Nigeria
I refused to leave Nigeria or have any property outside of Nigeria
I refused to raise my children outside of Nigeria
My destiny in Christ was as clear to me as day
I know what was written about me and my life in the volume of the works.
Though it was frustrating and people were blaming the governments of the day at the time on every side, I held on and believed that the glory of Nigeria would be restored
I refused to shop abroad because I believe it is better to add my two cents to the local economy
Since last year, I noticed that my Nigerian bank cards have begun to work again in foreign countries.
I was in Dubai, Aberdeen, Qatar, London, Rome, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Paris, Amsterdam and many other countries, and my Naira card worked seamlessly.
I came into Ghana yesterday, and I have transacted my business with my Nigerian bank cards on their local POS, and it worked!
Someone somewhere has done something to make it work.
Today, I am saying thank you to that "someone".
Whosoever you are, God bless you.
If you are more than one person, I pray for you that your policies and visions will set Nigeria up in such a way that squanderers who could come into power and set the country backwards will be unable to do so.
It felt very good to be able to use my Naira card again, especially when I got to Marriott, and they told me their POS can only accept physical ATM cards.
My heart skipped a beat because I had planned to rely on my Grabify app.

May God continue to bless Nigeria.

How State Police Bill Is Designed to Prevent Governors’ Abuse of Power

For many Nigerians, this has always been the biggest concern about State Police.

What safeguards are actually in the bill?

I break down the oversight mechanisms, intervention powers, and protections designed to prevent abuse.

Do you think they are enough?

FACTS ARE STUBBORN.

You don’t have to love the President, just love your country.

A Kenyan analyst compared Nigeria and Kenya with hard data from 2023 till date.

Foreigners are seeing the massive impact of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but Nigerians are being blinded by inherited hatred.

Very true. Unless you're wealthy...

The Changing Face of Wealth in Africa: Kenya vs Nigeria

In this insightful discussion, we unpack the bold economic choices, business environments, investment flows, and high-growth sectors that are propelling Nigeria toward becoming one of Africa’s dominant economic powers.

What can Kenya learn from Nigeria’s trajectory? Where are the most promising opportunities emerging? And what does this rivalry and cross-pollination mean for the future of wealth creation across the continent?

This isn’t just a head-to-head comparison between two nations - it’s a deeper conversation about vision, leadership, policy courage, and the strategic decisions that determine which African countries will thrive in the decades ahead.

[Gbotemi @confindence24]

She wanted to whitewash the 2023 election, but the gentleman schooled her thoroughly, and all she could do was nod her head up and down.

We will not allow that narrative to be pushed again in 2027.

Ire oo.

[Maknun Alli-Oluwafuyi @mcnun]

Wallahi!

[citykush @citykush1]

This one genuinely had me questioning my own comprehension skills.

A straightforward question: how would you harmonise and streamline taxes for MSMEs that are currently facing multiple layers of taxation from state and local levels?

A simple question on tax harmonisation.

Ladies and gentlemen, please listen carefully to Peter Obi’s response. 😭

At some point I started wondering whether I was the one missing something.

Or is something wrong with me ?

Watch till end, those men couldn’t help but laugh😩😩

[Iyalaya @lollylarry1]

I love this.

They'll start the wahala and then start claiming they are the victims.

Come 2027, it is going to be werey for werey.

"I'm not given to emotional argument. The World Bank report that was released two days ago, that says what the President has done economically, is that a half-truth? The S&P report that was released, is that a half-truth? World Bank MD came to Nigeria and said that the economic reforms of President Tinubu has become a case study globally... I keep wondering where are they getting their own information? — Analyst Obafemi George

[A. Ayofe @abdullahayofel]

Stop demarketing Nigeria, President Tinubu is rebuilding the economy — I don't know this man, but I pray he enjoys the fruits of his labour for educating this young man👇👀🔥

[Àlúbàríkà 🇳🇬 @Iyoaiye_]

President Bola Tinubu is my presidential candidate.

Yes, I will vote for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential elections.

In 2023, I voted for Peter Obi despite being a PDP stalwart. I chose Obi based on my convictions back then. However, tastes and human choices are dynamic.

Having seen what President Tinubu was able to achieve, changing him would destabilize the modest progress made so far.

Here are a few reasons I'm sticking with Tinubu:
1. Improved revenue to the three federating units. Nigeria was insolvent and literally bankrupt before the Tinubu regime. The CBN was using the Ways and Means Window (printing of money without value created) to run the economy to the tune of N33 trillion. This skyrocketed the inflation rate to over 30 percent as of 2023. Our nominal GDP was about N230 billion, while we had multiple exchange rates, which were distorting planning, forecast, and investment decisions. These macroeconomic distortions have been stabilized and greatly improved.
2. Removal of petrol subsidy. Petrol subsidy has been identified by all previous governments as problematic, but none had the political power to remove it. Petrol subsidy became inefficient, and the government was no longer able to pay for such inefficiency. Nigeria was using over 90% of her revenue annually to service debts, implying that we had to borrow to fund the subsidy. Its removal was absolutely necessary.
3. Improved welfare of federal civil servants.
4. Improved road infrastructure across the federation.
5. Implementation of the ASUU-FG Agreement of 2009. Since 2009, no president had the political will to honor an agreement signed, but Tinubu did.
6. Supreme Court LGA Autonomy. The LG financial autonomy judgment was meant to restore life and progress to our rural communities. Unfortunately, many state governors, in connivance with the State Houses of Assembly, brought in some obnoxious state laws that would deceptively allow states to continue managing LGA funds.

The two areas I think the president needs to improve on are the security of lives and property and to discontinue borrowing even after the removal of the petrol subsidy. Endemic corruption in Nigeria has not been ruthlessly addressed as well.

Away from the noise and emotions, our state governors have failed the people.

Subsidy removal came with a trade-off between improved revenues to federal, states, and LGAs and weakened purchasing powers of households and economic discomfort. However, these funds handed over to the governors have not been reinvested admirably to solve state and local challenges. Our roads are still bad; our schools are still dilapidated; our hospitals are still dysfunctional; our communities are still unsecured; unemployment is still ravaging, and the welfare of state workers remains miserable.

To a larger extent, the federal government has reinvested part of its own share of the subsidy windfall in workers' welfare packages. I have evidence.

For instance, my wife, who is a Level 13 federal civil servant, earns more than I do, a professor at the university. Secondly, a professor in a federal university now earns between N1.2-N1.4 million naira monthly. (Don't even bother asking me how much I earn, because you will be shocked).

These improved welfare packages, improved road networks, healthcare facilities, and educational facilities are meant to atone for the rises in petrol prices, housing, and transportation costs, etc. The federal government has obviously reinvested its share better than most states across the federation.

It is, therefore, my conviction to vote and campaign for President Tinubu in the 2027 Presidential elections, if God keeps us safe, sound, and alive, amen 🙏.

You are entitled to choose your own god whom you will serve. It doesn't call for a quarrel or abuses. This is the beauty of "democracy."

Oku gbawa!
