The statement by Mr. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour today on ships leaving Nigeria empty is not a factual assertion. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour is confusing his opinions for the facts. I will now present the facts below for those misled, misinformed and misdirected by Mr. Rhodes-Vivour.
First of all, Nigerian exports have almost doubled under the Tinubu administration. Please fact-check me: Nigeria set a record of $4.58 billion in non-oil exports in 2023, a 28.04% increase from the previous year.
As a nation, we are set to break that record in 2024, as the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that by the half-year 2024, Nigeria had made $2.7 Billion in non-oil exports. This is already a new H1 record.
Nigeria is now at the point where Vietnam was, where devaluation made exports more attractive and cost-effective, leading to the record ₦14.07 trillion trade surplus we achieved by half year 2024.
To give some perspective, in 2016, Nigeria's total non-oil exports were $1.4 billion. In 2024, we are making that in just one quarter.
Nigeria also had a trade deficit in the first year of Buhari (2016), with total imports at ₦8.527 trillion and total exports at ₦8.817 trillion, leaving a deficit of ₦290.1 billion.
But in the first and second years of the Tinubu administration, we are witnessing record-breaking trade surpluses.
Is Mr. Rhodes-Vivour aware that Nigeria now exports cement to Europe? Oh yes. You heard me right! Please fact-check me, and if I am lying, you will get an automatic $500.
Not only have our exports increased, but our imports have reduced by more than 50%. Especially petrol. Nigeria's fuel imports have decreased exponentially since President Bola Tinubu implemented fuel subsidy removal
on May 2023, which is why our foreign reserves hit a record high of $40.2 billion in October 2024.
If Mr. Rhodes-Vivour is unaware of these facts, he should take time to educate himself rather than push a fallacious agenda on Nigerians.

Besides the salvation of my soul and the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the greatest blessing bestowed upon me by the Lord is my wife, @PastorFAAdeboye . It is well-known that anyone who dares to harm her will face divine retribution. Many are unaware of the incredible extent of her compassion, generosity, and care for others. From the moment she chose to spend her life with me, she has stood by my side through thick and thin. One of my fervent prayers is for both of us to be taken home together when the time comes. We have special endearing names for each other. I invite everyone to join me in celebrating this remarkable woman by joyfully shouting “Hallelujah” wherever you may be. Happy birthday, my beloved @PastorFAAdeboye
