It is sad that this government, which has shown such disdain for everyday Nigerians that are struggling under the weight of its failures, has now chosen to extend that same disregard to honest Nigerians who have japa'd in search of better opportunities.
A government that has failed, and continues to fail, on security, the economy, healthcare, education, and virtually every measure of human dignity has no business lying to Nigerians and the world that things are better for the Nigerians in Nigeria, than they are for Nigerians abroad.
Until this government can guarantee safety, create jobs, restore economic stability, and inspire confidence at home, it should either fix Nigeria or stop lecturing Nigerians who have simply done what the government itself has failed to do: secured a better future for themselves and their families.
For perspective, and a little bit of respect, Nigeria's total oil export earnings in 2025 were US$31.5 billion, while official diaspora remittances for the same year amounted to US$21.8 billion

This is the kinda boost we need, if the government won't do it or show interest in it, we just need individuals like this, ready to push our teens out their to dream bigger in their achievements.
Nigeria is on an absolute intellectual winning streak on the global stage! 🇳🇬🔥
While we are rightfully celebrating our brilliant boys who secured Mathematics gold in Rome today, we must also amplify the story of another history-maker.

This show that the Nigerian education curriculum works, the only problem is venue and proper infrastructure for it to thrive in... But only of the major problems of Nigeria is maintenance culture, and that is one serious topic we should be willing to have but don't.
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
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.

Bayo,
I will drop the same message I sent to Segun. And if I see this same rubbish from @otegaogra, I will drop it for him too. I need those under your tweets, and the global audience to realize that Nigerians are not dumb, we just have government officials who major in foolery. Below is the statement:
This statement is reckless. It is exactly the kind of communication that destroys public confidence in government.
You have asked Nigerians to believe that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi simply woke up one day, created a fictitious presidential council, appointed himself Director-General, gained access to senior government officials, met with the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, was received by a federal government agency, had his activities reported by national newspapers, and somehow found the same “non-existent” council in the 2026 Federal Budget with an allocation of over N1.3 billion. This is the story you expect Nigerians to accept?
Punch Newspapers reported on 25 July 2025 that Adeyemi, as Director-General of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, met with Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu to discuss legislative backing for investment initiatives. The meeting was photographed and reported publicly.
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission also publicly acknowledged receiving a delegation led by the same Adeyemi in that same capacity.
Then there is the 2026 Appropriation Act. It contains a budgetary allocation of more than N1.3 billion for the Presidential Economic Advisory Council and Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council. These are official records. They cannot be wished away by a press statement.
Your statement does not answer the real questions. How did a fictitious council make its way into the Federal Budget? Who prepared the budget? Who defended it before the National Assembly? Who approved it? Who signed it into law? How did a non-existent agency receive a budget running into billions of naira? How did its so-called Director-General gain access to the National Assembly? How did he secure meetings with senior public officials? How did a federal government agency publicly recognise and receive him?
Can you see that there are multiple unanswered questions? Don’t be a stupid guy, Segun. If your answer is that everyone was deceived, then you are admitting to one of the biggest institutional failures in recent history. If that is not your answer, then your statement is incomplete and deliberately avoids the central issues.
Nobody is asking you to interfere with a matter before the court. If Prince Adeyemi committed any offence, the courts will determine that. What Nigerians will not accept is an attempt to erase documented facts from the public record because they have become inconvenient.
Your responsibility as Special Adviser to the President on Social Media is to inform Nigerians with facts, not to insult their intelligence by pretending these events never happened.
This matter is no longer just about Prince Adeyemi. It is about the credibility of the Presidency itself.
Until the Presidency explains how a supposedly non-existent council appeared in official government engagements and received a budgetary allocation exceeding N1.3 billion, every attempt to dismiss this as the work of a lone impostor will be met with justified scepticism.
Nigerians deserve answers. Answers that you cannot just spin or deflect from.
Story: Bandits flee in Katsina after angry villagers had enough and faced them.
They stormed the farming village in motorcycles and machine guns, shooting sporadically killing 4 persons.
After calling for help and no one came. Angered and frustrated, the villagers mobilized and faced the terrorists.
Able residents of Dansarai, a small farming community in Malumfashi, picked up weapons, joined local hunters and vigilantes, and confronted the rampaging terrorists, killing four of them.
The remaining ones fled into the forest, abandoning their plans to destroy the village and steal livestock. Which had becomes a routine attack on the vulnerable community.
Although eight villagers were injured, none of the injuries was fatal. Which according to them was worth it.
A resident told newsmen that, despite their many distress calls, it was after the bandits escaped that security personnel arrived.
However, the army arrived, tracked them and recovered rustled livestock from the bandits, while the rest fled.

The 3 wise men from the East are set to head to Rome: Chimdiebube Onwubiko, Egejurum Onyedikachi, and Don Anele Munachimso.
Their assignment is simple: bring back the gold.
They will be competing with 154 other countries in Rome, Italy, this week.
Since Nigeria couldn’t qualify for the World Cup, this will be our World Cup.

I just say let me let you know.
Never did I think anybody would be worse than Buhari. Tinubu's Government is a tragedic disaster this nation might not recover from in decades to come.
Update!!!
The Ogun State Ministry of Justice has concluded that Mirabel’s r@pe allegations were falsë and fabricâted.
As a result, there is no suspect to arrëst and no threat to public safety.
Rather than prosêcuting her, the ministry has decided to place Mirabel in a psychö-social rehâbilitation program.
She has since been placed under the care of the Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, where she is currently receiving rehâbilitative support.

@ruffydfire No lies... Good or bad, be it concrete cement or sharp sand... The foundation is being laid for a New Nigeria, because this Nigeria wouldn't be the same after this administration.
Nigeria is blessed with comedy, so blessed that it's what elevates the mood of Nigerian, so bastardly blessed that every one year to election... Politicians and government officials gives us the best comedy content far better than comedians and content creators both put together.
Bola Tinubu doesn’t communicate with Nigerians
Charles: Many Nigerians feel that President Tinubu is distant and detached. They wonder why he rarely grants interviews, participates in debates, or speaks directly to the people.
Some have even formed the impression that he does not empathize with the struggles of ordinary citizens. What is your response to that?
Listen to response… Mr Bayo Onanuga 😤😤
