@PO_GrassRootM How does a professor reduce a major erosion crisis to “what are residents doing wrong?” What then is the purpose of government? Urban planning, zoning, drainage design, development control, storm-water management and erosion mitigation are government responsibilities.

All these people calling on the government for help because erosion has taken over their communities, what have they also done as residents of those areas?
There must be something the communities are doing wrong.
Why wasn't this erosion there 50 years ago?

Its increasingly appears that competence, integrity and measurable performance are no longer the strongest credentials for appointment into the Tinubu government. Nigerians are left with the troubling perception that political loyalty and tolerance for corruption matter more.

Where did these 55%, 35%, 65%, 97% and 2% oil-theft figures come from? Nigeria’s published production data show output above 2m bpd under Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and GEJ, falling to about 1.29m bpd in 2022 and recovering to about 1.61m bpd in 2025. please give production data @ruffydf

[Bolaji Fesomade @MasterBolaji]

Estimated crude oil theft in Nigeria under:

Obasanjo: 55%
Yar'Adua: 35%
GEJ: 65%
Buhari: 97%
Tinubu: 2%

Tinubu reduced oil theft from 97% under Buhari to just 2% in 3 years. Tinubu is the only president who has shown total control on crude oil production in Nigeria.

Good work!

What worries me about the Tinubu/APC economic narrative is the constant celebration of nominal naira figures without sufficient attention to their real purchasing value. @PeterObi @PO_GrassRootM

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

always find this FAAC data interesting.

In 2018, Nigeria shared ₦7.98 trillion through FAAC. At the CBN exchange rate at the time, that was about $26 billion.

In 2025, FAAC was ₦21.9 trillion. That sounds like a massive increase which is almost three times the 2018 figure. But using the CBN rate for 2025, it comes to only about $14.4 billion.

That tells us quite a bit about what has happened to the naira.

In 2018, you needed roughly ₦306 to buy $1. By 2025, you needed around ₦1,500. So yes, there are many more naira in the system today, but each naira is worth much less than it was seven years ago.

The irony is that the weaker naira is itself one of the reasons FAAC looks so big today. If government earns $1 billion from oil and converts it at ₦1,500 to the dollar, it gets far more naira than when the exchange rate was ₦300.

But those extra naira don’t necessarily mean extra purchasing power. If a state government wants to buy equipment from abroad, for example, it is also buying those dollars at something close to ₦1,500.

This isn’t necessarily an argument that the old exchange-rate system was better. That system had its own serious problems, including multiple rates and arbitrage. The reforms since 2023 allowed the official rate to move much closer to where the market was actually pricing the naira.

It is simply a reminder to be careful with big naira numbers.

₦21.9 trillion is certainly more money than ₦7.98 trillion. But ₦1 in 2025 simply doesn’t have the same value as ₦1 in 2018.

And even the dollar comparison doesn’t tell the whole story. If we really want to know whether governments have more spending power today, we also have to account for inflation at home.

That, I suspect, is where this gets even more interesting.copied

The most powerful Igbo prayer during breaking of Kolanut !!!! I had chills while watching 🥶🥶🥶

[J. C. Okechukwu @jcokechukwu]

⁉️ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEOS I'VE COME ACROSS IN YEARS.

“Somewhere in Virginia, buried under 300 years of forgotten paperwork, there’s a number that historians do not like to say out loud, 60% - that is the estimated share of Black Americans who carry at least one Igbo ancestor. Not African ancestor, not West African ancestor, one specific people from one specific River Delta in what is now Southeastern Nigeria. And almost nobody’s been told this - not in schools, not textbooks, not even in most family trees.”

I very sincerely think that every African alive should watch this video to the end. History doesn’t hit any closer home than this. TD Jakes, Forest Whitaker, Danny Glover et al got the memo early when they openly made the connection with their Igbo ancestry. For Beyonce Knowles, It wasn’t just art when she featured the Igbo Landing story in her LEMONADE album, specifically the Love Drought track.

I faced fierce resistance from many when I first published my research findings that implied 60-70% of slaves taken from my part of Africa were Igbos, simply because the slavers came to a conclusion that the Igbos were unusually strong and tireless in their duties. Today, the truth is out, because everything hidden shall be exposed.

Now you can understand why the colonials have invested so much into breaking the will of the Igbo people. It's still not broken.

Watch and share widely without prejudice. Knowledge is power.

[Amba News Line @amba_newsline]

The same British Empire playbook was used in Ambazonia, deliberately dividing Ambazonians from Biafrans to serve economic interests. It is a sad reality, but this generation will rise to liberate the people of both Ambazonia and Biafra.

A question worth examining objectively: Why do some Nigerians perceive that several major government institutions facing serious performance challenges are headed by people associated with RCCG?@ruffydfire @OjyOkpe @MamaPee__ @PastorEAAdeboye

[Tim k. @obinali]

If the argument today is that Buhari left behind a bad economy and a damaged country, then President Tinubu must answer an important question: who helped build, promote and sustain that political project?@BashirAhmaad please help me with solution @davido @ruffydfire

@Arewa_Source The tragedy is not that Nigeria lacks educated people; it is that education and professional status do not always translate into responsible leadership and stronger institutions. Until knowledge is accompanied by character and accountability, certificates alone will not develop!

[Tim k. @obinali]

@emmaikumeh One of Nigeria’s deepest problems is not simply lack of education, but an education system that often produces certificates without sufficiently producing character, critical thinking, civic responsibility and institutional integrity

[Tim k. @obinali]

@emmaikumeh The question is not whether he considers himself “bigger” than Peter Obi. The more important question is: beyond activism and public commentary, what measurable achievements can he point to in governance, economic management, institution-building, job creation, science?
