But a home that is built and cannot be bought is only a monument, and on this point, Nigeria has stumbled for decades. So, we turned to the question of money.
Through the MOFI Real Estate Investment Fund, 1,859 families across 25 states have now drawn ₦128 billion in mortgages, fixed at 9.75 per cent and repayable over 20 years, terms our people were told for a generation they would never see.
Through Family Homes Funds, we have kept faith with the poorest, housing widows and low-income earners, under a mandate to reach 500,000 homes and the 1.5 million jobs that rise with them.

I will not stand before you and declare the work finished, because it is not. The housing deficit this nation carries is counted in the millions, and it will take years of steady labour to close, and I would rather say that to you plainly than flatter you with a lie.
But the difference now is real. For the first time in a generation, the whole housing value-chain is moving together: the land and its title, the building, the materials, the equipment, the finance, and the family at the end of it, and no part waits idle on another.
Housing has moved from a welfare conversation to a national growth strategy. Real estate and construction now sit among Nigeria’s major GDP contributors, proving that every affordable home financed is also a factory order, a labour contract, a mortgage asset, a household balance sheet and a contribution to national output.
That is what I promised for our housing sector, and that is what is now being delivered. Renewed Hope was never charity. It is the right of every Nigerian to a place called home.

I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.
You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.
In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.
This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.
To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.
I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.
We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.
The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.
Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.
To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.
May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
“As much as I want to tell people to vote out Tinubu. If people ask me who do I recommend they vote for, I don’t have. Because I have not seen anyone credible enough to vote for. Tinubu is still more credible than the rest.” - Content Creator
The rescue of this lady and her sons isn’t sitting well with people that would have preferred to hear that they were killed, so they can use it for agenda purposes.
I saw some comments “why rescue these ones when we still have the school children in the bush”.
I realized we have demons disguising as humans.
Don't say anything just repost 😭
Disturbing video showing heavy assault rifles allegedly brought into the country by foreigners. May this country never be hijacked by outsiders.
Victor Umeh is a clear example of fools growing old.
You complained about his style of governance as Governor of your state. But today you’re supporting him to be President of a whole country.
Is it that you want every Nigerian to suffer what you suffered In Anambra state?
Peter Obi has criticized the present govt for spending heavily on SUVs for lawmakers, and a lot of people have cvrsed out Wike for building houses for the judiciary. But let's go back in time shall we?
The same Obi who called out the govt reportedly purchased over 400 SUVs for traditional rulers during his time as a governor, oh, and with state funds obviously. Obi also got over 110 vehicles for Local Govts. He also gave out over 21 Honda Accord cars to judges in and 58 vehicles to magistrates; And that's not all. Houses were equally built for judges that cost close to N250m at that time.
Now how do you criticize Wike for building houses for judges, then clap for Obi who did the same? That's hypocrisy at its peak.
Note that the cars also distributed to the judges were reportedly Toyota sedans and Nissan SUVs. Obi equally distributed over 31 Peugeot 406 cars to House of Assembly members.
In his time his government distributed Ford, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Peugeot. Now he's talking about supporting local production. OK.
To tell you how foolish those around Peter Obi are, you have exposed your movement, that it's not organic. And you are different from others you condemn..
Imagine telling the world, that you paid people in 2023 to come to each court hearing. See the way they're exposing themselves.
If she had sense, she would have ignored Barry, but she is always quick to form the “I'm the boss” she has now exposed her boss..
God will continue to expose all you lol 😆
Let them continue to lie to you or mislead you. All these career activists and social media noisemakers won’t do anything but to worsen your case. Stop ruining people’s image. Stop ruining people’s marriages and businesses simply because you want to trend.
BASHIR EL-RUFAI IS NOW PROMOTING OBI/KWANKWASO TICKET.
First of all let me say that, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai caused his problem.
It was huge carelessness to come live on national TV to tell the whole world that you were tapping into the calls of the NSA
The number one security officer of a country?
Meaning that the president's life is not secure.
Meaning you gained access into national security secrets without authorization.
That's a serious offense.
I wouldn't say Mallam was being too frank or honest.
No
He was just being a Nigerian.
Like , "Yes ...we do am, Wetin go come happen? We're Northerners nau ."
But he didn't know he wasn't dealing with Jonathan.
Tinubu is the president now .
I think all of this should teach his sons especially Basir a lesson about life.
Some of us who don't have powerful surnames don't take high risks.
Nigeria is bigger than anyone.
That's why when I see Verydarkman openly talk in court and say somethings these days...
I just tell myself that his fame is entering his head.
He's probably feeling that he's untouchable.
Every Nigerian who felt that way got a shocker.
When they nullified Abiola's elections and he felt "well, I am Abiola. The richest Nigerian. I can declare myself president."
They carried him...put him in prison and kpaied him.
Nothing happened.
Abacha was planning to Transit from military to civilian president.
Dem Kpai am.
Nothing happened.
Nnamdi Kanu came and began to say he decides who lives and who dies.
They brought him back from the UK and put him in prison.
What has happened since then?
Anyone who understands this country should just be humble.
Know where your level is and play there.
Bashir was bragging last year on how they're going to make sure that no one brings Tinubu's campaigns to the North.
Today he can't even have the mouth to say that.
In this life don't let trouble visit you o.
Don't allow a man stronger than you to declare war on you unless you're prepared like Iran you no go like am o.
Peace is better than wahala o.
Respect everyone.
Stay humble.
Stay peaceful.
Wahala no go find you.

Between Atiku and Makinde, Untold Story of What Happened in Minna Yesterday
It is no longer news that the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, went to Minna, Niger State, yesterday to hold a meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Here is what happened behind the curtains.
Venue and personalities involved in the meeting was carefully chosen so as to ensure confidence and acceptability.
Consideration was given to the fact that Peter Obi will not accept to be Atiku's running mate and he won't also be acceptable to the North, as Atiku's successor.
Also, Atiku is 70% certain of getting the ADC ticket, having ensured the non-zoning of the party’s presidential ticket.
Makinde agreed to join ADC on the condition that he will be handed the party’s Vice Presidential ticket, as Atiku's running mate. This is expected to be presented to Atiku’s inner caucus for further discussions and ratification.
Makinde offered to make available a sum of N10bn (to be released in two tranches), as his initial contribution towards what he called "proper take-off of the ADC," and make additional funds available when campaign begins.
The Governor also assured that for the ADC primary, he will deliver the Southwest delegates and use the influence of wife, who is from Rivers State to secure delegate votes in the South-South.
He posited that for the general election, using him to divide the Southwest votes will give the ADC the needed advantage.
Follow up meeting has been fixed for Dubai, UAE within the next two weeks.
