I INDEPENDENTLY SEARCHED NIGERIA'S BUDGET DOCUMENTS FROM 2019 TO THE PRESENT. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND ABOUT THE PFIPC SCANDAL THAT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.
THE NAME DID NOT COME FROM NOWHERE
Everyone is focused on Adeyemi the man. Nobody has gone back to ask where the name "Presidential Economic Advisory Council" actually came from. I did. And the answer changes this entire story.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is not a Tinubu creation. Tinubu's economic body is called the Presidential Economic Coordination Council. He established it in March 2024, inaugurated it in July 2024, and chairs it himself alongside Dangote, Elumelu, the Senate President and the Governors Forum Chairman. It has a different name, a different structure and a different budget code.
The Presidential Economic Advisory Council is a creation of Buhari. Buhari established it in September 2019 to replace the Economic Management Team that Osinbajo was heading. It had real named members. Prof. Doyin Salami as chairman. Charles Soludo. Bismark Rewane. Eight economists reporting directly to the President with a defined mandate and a legal institutional identity.
When Tinubu came in and created the PECC in 2024, the Buhari-era PEAC was never formally dissolved. No gazette removing it. No Budget Office circular revoking its institutional identity. It simply went dormant. But dormant in Nigeria's government system is not the same as deleted.
That dormant status is exactly what was exploited.
Rain has been falling heavily and this is their 42ND DAY as captives of terrorists!! My heart is hurt!! Is this how we will keep counting days???? Just like that???😭😭😭
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
This is now their 40th Day as prisoners and hostages of terrorists. 40 Days of Cold nights, no change of clothes, poor physical care, emotional trauma, abuse and constant fear! Ah!!😭😭😭. God!!!!
This is soul sinking!!! 40 DAYS!!!
My neighbor was kidnapped on his way to Abuja. He was shot in both legs and left to suffer without treatment for four days. His family desperately raised the ransom, hoping to save his life, but by the time he was released and taken to the hospital, it was too late. He died shortly after receiving treatment.
How long are Nigerians supposed to keep living like this? We are being kidnapped, tortured. Every single day Innocent people are dying, families are being destroyed.
How many more graves must be dug before those in authority wake up and do their damn jobs?
This is not what it says at all,
it actually suggests that Africans just do better under European governance + management, being trained in systems not run by Africans,
which is why you shouldn't really be shouting out about it as an amazing thing or something to be proud about.
Africans get extremely egotistical about this, and I don't think they realize it makes them look stupid.
Even most of the African teams are staffed and stocked by their diaspora born children, so its like France is doing the work for 10+ federations.
"Police released Armed Fulani Militia, we arrested & gave them their AK-47's back to them"
Gov. Udom - *"We arrested persons with fake army uniforms carrying 18 AK-47's rifles and handed them over to the police"*
However, the police hierarchy gave express orders that those persons should be released and their guns handed back to them.
We want to let the world know that if there is a breakdown of law and order tomorrow, the police should be held responsible.
All attempts to speak with the top hierarchy of the police in the zone and at Abuja were rebuffed.
- Gov. Emmanuel Udom. Akwa Ibom State.

They are unsheltered, malnourished, mentally, physically and psychologically abused in ways we cannot even imagine! Their only crime is going to school to learn. 35 DAYS!!!💔💔
This is now their 34th Night as captives of terrorists in the bush! I cannot imagine the horror! The discomfort! The mental, physical and emotional torture! Toddlers and children! Then teachers! We cannot forget them! God!😭😭😭😭
Children being kidnapped from their school and held captive for more than a month, plus a teacher being killed should be something of a horror movie.
However that is the reality of some Nigerians.
This is very sad.
Yesterday at Katari in Kachia LGA of Kaduna state, while we were having a peaceful protest for the release of the abducted 37 Christians from ARIKO community, since 5th April, the police DPO of Katari tried to intimidate us. He tried to cajole us but we were resolute. we were determined. We refused to be silenced!
