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.

Dear Blessing,

I just came across your tweet, and it truly inspired me.

To graduate with a First Class in Mathematics from UNILORIN and then earn a fully funded Master's admission in Italy is an extraordinary achievement. You have demonstrated excellence and the promise that exists in so many young Nigerians.

No young person who has worked this hard should have such an opportunity limited by the cost of getting there. It would be my privilege to support your journey by covering what is left in the cost of your relocation.

@nancy_i_i from my office will reach out to you today.

Congratulations once again. Go, excel, and continue to make Nigeria proud.

[Oluwatimileyin✨🦋 @Timmysofine]

I don't share stories like this often, but this one is worth your attention.

Meet Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo. First-Class graduate in Mathematics from UNILORIN, CGPA 4.76/5.0. This is no small feat, she put in so much to get here.

She earned a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy. Tuition, accommodation, meals, and stipend all covered. This is the kind of opportunity that can change a family's story for good, for life.

She has already paid her enrollment fee. She used her tutoring savings and borrowed from friends to get this far.

What she needs now is €3,122 (about ₦4.9 million) to cover her visa, flight, document processing, and initial settlement in Italy. The scholarship does not cover this part, and without it, she cannot travel to start what she has already earned.

This is someone who did the work and is one step away from the finish line.
If you can support her, even a small amount helps.

If you cannot, a share costs nothing and might reach someone who can 🙏🏾

Help Make My Scholarship Dream Come True 🙏

I'm Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo, a First-Class Mathematics graduate (CGPA: 4.76/5.0) from UNILORIN.

I'm happy to have been awarded a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy.

I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.

However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.

Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.

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?

Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.

Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?

Again, silence.

Then comes the most curious part of the story.

The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.

That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.

Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?

These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.

The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.

But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.

This is bigger than one man.

If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.

If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.

If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.

If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.

Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.

The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.

Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.

Dear men,

It impresses upon my soul to write to you.

This writing is inspired by my consumption of a lot of Diogenes' work but one quote of his that massively influenced my value system, reads:

"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little".

It imprinted upon my soul for a long time, especially as someone that's ambitious.

Friends, verily I say unto you:

Ambition is good but nothing is more frustrating to a man that for him to exist at the edge of a precipice where there are more factors out of his control, than within his control.

Endless chase in ambition without a defined scope is outside your control & with every season you have a new high to chase without a moment to enjoy where you are.

It becomes easy to discard your present as a valley as you glare at a new high, forgetting that your current valley used to be a mountaintop you aspired to.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, have a number in mind. Especially as an ambitious person, have a number in mind.

The endless pursuit of ambition will leave you with a hollow soul. It will strip you of the beauty of momentary happiness, satisfaction of wins & incredible undervaluation of how far you've come.

As a young hustling man, it is important that you define what happiness and success looks like for you, and to do so early on.

The ultimate question now becomes:
Are you in control of your dreams? Or are your dreams in control of you?

The answer to this question is a predictor of your future happiness or lack thereof.

I hope my writing found you well.

As you were.
