The issue we face is generational.

I witnessed Nigeria's potential in my youth, and I see the nation today; I know what is possible.

During my five years at university, my total tuition was less than N600, and my accommodation was also less than N600, all directly subsidized by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).

At that time, while the FGN subsidized my education, there was no VAT or revenue from telecommunications, banking, remittances, or NLNG, yet they were able to fund it. My point is this: revenues have increased, but public services have deteriorated.

Back then, the President drove a locally assembled Peugeot 504, supplied from Kaduna, just like the ministers; there were no SUVs or presidential air fleets.

Many young people today have never seen Nigeria with:

1. Water flowing from public taps 24/7
2. A consistent power supply
3. Free education

The youth have been conditioned to expect little from public services, so when they do experience even a small improvement, they are genuinely amazed and appreciative. But even that is just 1%; where is the remaining 99%?

I appreciate their comments; they cannot envision functionality in today’s challenging environment. It is those from my generation who have exploited that ignorance to sell misleading narratives to the youth of today.

@ruffydfire 8 years after, the national assembly claims possible network failure, which is an indictment on the nation that we are not making progress as a nation. They are all silent on d legal cure of d electronic transmission to irev, is supposed to provide in d amendment. It's a shame

[R. Santos Alimi @RSantos4rd]

@ruffydfire It's sad and disappointing that some individuals choose to be stup'd in the name of defending rubbish. who is asking inec to transmit votes? Who is saying irev is for collation? Since 2018, Inec has given assurance of her capacity to upload one EC8 form in each polling unit.

@RealSuzzane @taiwoyedele Mr Taiwo should have stated simply that the rate was only raised from 5% to 7.5%.

@alat_ng I register here my displeasure about indiscriminate deductions on my account balances in the name of stamp duty. My account number is 0241644724. Pls reverse deductions accordingly and correct your system. Looking forward to hearing from you. 
Thank you.

@taiwoyedele @fiscalreformsng Umh! Minimum wage as base versus international definition of poverty as base. Which one realistically protects the real poor in Nigeria? The committee may consider.

As you step into the new year, remember the world is watching.

When you insult, curse or abuse people online, you are not proving strength or knowledge. Rather, you're creating a digital footprint as a toxic person who lacks emotionally intelligence

In today’s AI-powered world, your CV is no longer just the document you carefully format for jobs or promotions. Your real CV is the digital footprint - the posts, comments and reactions you share - those are what algorithms can see, index, and infer about your judgment, temperament, and values.

Disagree if you must, but do so with facts. Challenge ideas, not people. Share perspectives that demonstrate depth, clarity, and respect. That is how credibility is built, influence is earned, and opportunities come your way.

Intelligence shows in how you disagree, not how loud you shout.

As you set your goals for the new year, be intentional about your digital footprint.

@chima73819 @ruffydfire I agree. Transportation allowance should be made. If everyone is shouting this, they will hear. Rather than raising unnecessary fear, born out of distrust of government, anyway

@CyrusAdemola @ruffydfire If a vulcanizer with daily revenue of 10,000 (240k) a month is classified as a small business owner, and completely exempted from tax payment, who are the poor that will be overburdened? Tax returns will not be filed until January 2027, let's wait and see how the law unfolds.
