Excessive Borrowing Without Accountability: Further Affirmation of Imprudent Governance.

President Bola Tinubu's administration has engaged in remarkably imprudent borrowing, escalating Nigeria's total debt to approximately N200 trillion. This represents an increase of over N100 trillion within a mere three years, a stark contrast to the roughly N49 trillion accumulated during President Muhammadu Buhari's eight-year tenure, which would have projected to around N80 trillion. As millions of Nigerians grapple with the shock of this unsustainable debt accumulation, the situation is exacerbated by the government's reckless approach to borrowing and a profound absence of accountability and transparency in the utilisation of these funds.

For instance, data from the Federation's Budget Office reveals that the Bola Tinubu government borrowed N11.89 trillion in the first three quarters of 2025 (January to September), exceeding the planned borrowing target of N10.34 trillion by approximately N1.54 trillion. Under a responsible and accountable government, such an overshoot would necessitate rigorous scrutiny and explanation from relevant governmental bodies. Regrettably, this is not the reality under the current administration.

Compounding this issue, only N3.10 trillion of the borrowed funds was allocated to capital expenditure during the same January-September 2025 period. This constitutes a mere 17.66% of the N17.58 trillion earmarked for capital projects, leaving a deficit of roughly N14.48 trillion, or 82.34% of planned capital expenditure unfunded.

The most disturbing aspect of the financial management fiasco under Bola Tinubu is that there is no explanation or information regarding how the balance was utilised or deployed. The question that Nigerians are rightly asking and deserve an answer to is what happened to the balance? Was it deployed for recurrent expenditure/ consumption, for the entertainment of guests to Aso Rock or transferred to the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 Election Campaign Fund? Nigerians deserve an answer on how our economy and resources are most unpatriotically managed.

A New and Productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK!

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

PART THREE—- FINAL PART

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria @NGRSenate @HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:

DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .

If you must dare speak on this May 27, then for once, speak the truth of your failures. Stand before Nigerians and confess that you have failed our children. Account for the public budgets that have not guaranteed the Nigerian children safety in their schools nor better education, health, and social protection. Tell us the names and current locations of every single child still in captivity - the Chibok girls, the Kebbi girls, the Niger State children, the Oyo children, and every other.

Tell the parents of these children exactly what your government has done and not done in the days, weeks, months, and years since each abduction.

Publish the audited figures on out-of-school children, on stunting, on learning poverty, on child mortality. Tell us what specific, measurable, time-bound commitments you are making - not in 2030, not in some imaginary future, but this fiscal year - to end the abandonment and to make Nigerian schools safe.

Anything short of that is a desecration of the Children’s Day and constitutes a fresh wound on the badly scared soul of every Nigerian child.

A government that cannot protect its children has forfeited the right to celebrate them. A political class that has built its wealth on the broken backs of the poor has forfeited the right to address their children with affection. There is no moral universe in which the architects of this abandonment may also serve as its celebrants.

To Nigerian children: Some of us see you. The Nigeria you deserve is a country in which you are safe, educated, fed, healed, free to dream and work hard to be the best of any thing you choose to become in this world. We will not stop
to stand with you and for you. The shame of May 27, 2026 belongs not to you, but to those who have governed you into this tragic condition.

Again, to President Tinubu and the rest of his ilk in Nigeria’s political class- who have sworn to a covenant of watching unconcerned that our children are abducted and their teachers killed- be silent on this day.

You have not earned the right to speak to our children today.

Don’t you dare. Period.

PART TWO

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria @NGRSenate @HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:

DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the around 19 million Nigerian children - 27 percent- who do not attend school due to the threat of kidnappings, poverty and cultural factors, one of the highest numbers in the world .

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 70 percent of Nigerian children aged 10 who cannot read a simple sentence - the foundational learning crisis that your governments at every level have refused to treat as the emergency it is.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children buried under the rubble of Jos, Plateau, Benue, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and now Oyo - slaughtered in their sleep, in their schools, in their churches, in their mosques, in their farms - while your security architecture protects your convoys as you shamelessly drive around politicking in the land your selfishness has turned into a desolate territory.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Makoko, whose homes you demolished, whose schools you erased, whose futures you bulldozed in the name of “urban renewal” that is nothing but state-sanctioned cruelty against the poor.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 35 million people the UN World Food Programme estimates could go hungry in Nigeria in 2026 , among whom are millions of children whose stunted bodies and diminished brains are the direct ledger of your governance failure.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children dying from preventable diseases in primary healthcare centres you have refused to equip, to children walking past abandoned school buildings to hawk sachet water in traffic, to the almajiri children you have used as political props for decades and then discarded, to the girl children married off before puberty in states whose laws you refuse to harmonise with the Child Rights Act.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children whose parents cannot afford the food, the school fees, the medicines, the transport, or the safety that your governance failures have placed beyond their reach - even as you award yourselves allowances, SUVs, foreign medical trips, and pensions for life.

This is the reality. And the reality is not a “Happy Children’s Day.”

The reality is a National Day of Shame.

So I issue this warning, on behalf of every Nigerian parent, grandparent, teacher, and citizen who refuses to be insulted again:

Spare us your hypocritical statements wishing distressed children a “Happy Children’s Day”. Spare us your photo opportunities and deceitful performances. Spare us your empty words that carry zero weight for the safety of our children.

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria @NGRSenate @HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:

DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .

To the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President, the Governors of the 36 States, the Federal Executive Council, the Members of the National Assembly, the State Houses of Assembly, and the entire political class that has captured and destroyed the Nigeria State:

Do not dare.

Do not dare open your mouths on May 27 to wish Nigerian children a “Happy Children’s Day.” Do not dare release the recycled, ghost-written platitudes your media handlers have already drafted. Do not dare stand in front of cameras, surrounded by carefully arranged children in matching uniforms, to perform a tenderness you have never extended to the millions of Nigerian children you have abandoned, betrayed, and condemned to lives of suffering.

You have no moral standing to wish anything to Nigerian children. None.

Consider what you are dishonorably wishing them.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 39 students and 7 teachers seized only days ago, on 15 May 2026, from a secondary school and two primary schools in Ahoro Esinele community in Oriire district of Oyo State- children aged between two and sixteen , snatched from the southwest in a chilling expansion of a terror that you swore would be confined to the north.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 25 schoolgirls of the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Wasagu/Danko, Kebbi State, taken from their hostel at dawn on 18 November 2025, after gunmen killed the vice principal and most of whom are still missing as I write.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 303 students and 12 teachers of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Niger State, seized on 21 November 2025 - children aged 10 to 18, boys and girls- whose abduction forced more than 20,000 Nigerian schools to close indefinitely .

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 287 students of the Government Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, taken by gunmen on motorcycles on 7 March 2024 in broad daylight while you and your political colleagues posed for swearing-in photographs.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 15 children of Gidan Bakuso, Sokoto State, seized from their boarding school on 9 March 2024 as they slept.

You are wishing to the Chibok girls- over 90 of whom are still missing, twelve years after April 14, 2014, while you have moved on, and for your repugnant luxury, speedily rebuilt and redecorated Aso Villa, bought opulent hideous cars, and rotated power among yourselves as if those girls never existed. But their parents who gave birth to them continue to grieve and daily rain curses on the evil leaders that have shown no empathy towards them and their abducted daughters.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Dapchi, Kankara, Kagara, Jangebe, Afaka, Greenfield, Bethel Baptist, Tegina - and to the many whose abductions never made the headlines because Nigeria had run out of capacity to grieve.

You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the at least 1,799 students seized in a dozen of the largest abductions since Chibok , and to the 670 children affected by at least 10 school kidnappings in less than two years - a litany of horror compiled not by your security agencies, but by international human rights organisations doing the work your government refuses to do.

Last night, I received a courtesy visit from my brother, His Excellency Peter Obi, shortly after his successful screening as the presidential aspirant of our party, the NDC.

The future is bright and full of promise. - RMK

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

Warren Buffett on the biggest investing mistake of his career:

Buffett explains that early in his career, he was taught by Ben Graham to buy stocks on a purely quantitative basis, hunting for things that were dirt cheap.

He calls this the "cigar butt" approach:

"The cigar butt approach to buying stocks is that you walk down the street and you're looking around for cigar butts and you find this terrible looking soggy ugly looking cigar one puff left in it but you pick it up and you get your one puff disgusting it's thrown away but it's free. I mean it's cheap and then you look around for another soggy you know one puff cigarette."

That's exactly how he bought Berkshire Hathaway.

The stock was selling below its working capital. He got the plants, the machinery, the inventory, and the receivables all at a discount.

It was cheap.

So he bought it.

The problem?

Twenty years later, he was still running a lousy business, and the money didn't compound.

Buffett reflects on what he learned:

"You really want to be in a wonderful business because there the time is the friend of the wonderful business; you keep compounding it keeps doing more business and you keep making more money. Time is the enemy of the lousy business."

This led to one of his most famous investing principles:

"I would rather buy a wonderful business at a fair price than a fair business at a wonderful price."

Looking back, Buffett admits he could have liquidated Berkshire for a quick profit, taken his "one puff," and started fresh. Instead, he used a struggling textile business as the platform for everything that came after: the insurance business, See's Candy, the Buffalo News.

"I would have been way better off doing that with a brand new little entity that I'd set up rather than using Berkshire at the platform."
