The recently exposed fake Nigerian presidential agency received a ₦1.3 billion allocation in the Nigerian national budget, a budget that included financing from the @WorldBankGroup. We are now reviewing whether U.S.-linked World Bank and other international funding may have been received by or benefited the alleged fake agency.
The individual arrested in connection with the alleged fake agency has accused senior Nigerian government officials, including Femi #Gbajabiamila (@femigbaja), President #Tinubu's Chief of Staff, of being a key figure in the alleged scheme and of requesting a total of ₦600 million in kickbacks.
The @realDonaldTrump Administration and Congress have been collecting information concerning alleged efforts by President Tinubu's (@officialABAT) government, its associates within @inecnigeria, the Nigerian #judiciary, and non-governmental actors to rig the upcoming election. We are now officially lobbying for the investigation to be expanded to include a possible conspiracy by senior members of the #Tinubu government to defraud the United States by participating in a scheme to illegally obtain or divert U.S.-linked funding.

Nigerians should be grateful to Matthew Adeyemi Adeniyi, whichever way this scandal ends up.
If @aonanuga1956's elaborate and utterly implausible treatise on the matter is to be believed, Adeyemi has proved what many of us have alleged since 2015 - that the @OfficialAPCNg is a collection of supremely incompetent and greedy criminals.
He fooled the Federal Secretariat management team into allocating offices to his "fake" agency, and thus proved that they are at the very least utterly incompetent and possibly irredeemably corrupt.
He fooled the @cenbank, @DrYemiCardoso et al, into opening CBN accounts for his agency, thus proving that the CBN under Cardoso has turned into a cesspit of an insane level of incompetence and again, possibly fetid corruption.
He fooled the President Tinubu and his Minister of Finance into including his "fake" agency in the 2026 budget, this proving their lack of diligence and lack of dedication to their jobs.
He fooled the National Assembly, led by @SenGodswill, into passing that budget, with an actual financial allocation of billions of ₦₦₦ for his "fake" agency, thus proving that the National Assembly of the @OfficialAPCNg is nothing but a rubber stamp and possibly deeply corrupt.
If Adeyemi is right, and the agency really exists and was in fact created by the Presidency, included in the budget and given an allocation from taxpayer funds, he has proved that the @OfficialAPCNg government of @officialABAT is a cesspit of metastasised grand larceny, greed, corruption, avarice, and just plain looting - which is a position many of us have long held, since before Tinubu acquired the Presidency.
As resilient as Nigeria has proved to be, I do not think Nigeria will survive this stratospheric level of conjoined corruption and incompetence.

If you believe one random man single-handedly opened a “fake” office,eluded officials, misled the Accountant General and the CBN, got budgetary allocations and even defended it at NASS, operated from the “office” still undetected, please go back to your school and collect refund.
Awolowo said he doesn't want the children of his cooks or drivers to turn out to be cooks and drivers themselves, reason he made sure free and qualitative education was available to all in the Western region.
People dey defend frying Akara as economic empowerment in 2026
He took fuel subsidy away from 230m citizens and shared it with 36 Governors because he needs them for his reelection.
So “fuel subsidy is gone” has been all about his 2027 aspiration?
A dark, cold, degenerate soul.
You added $42 billion to our national debt and added only $5 billion to our foreign reserve; and you want us to clap for you. 😂😂
Let's put this into context,
Zubairu has N1,000 in his Zenith bank account and he went to Okechukwu and borrowed N5,000.
He took N3,000 from this N5,000 loan and deposited into his Zenith bank account and the account balance increased to N4,000. And he used the remaining N2,000 to flex suya and kunu.
He now called his girlfriend Yetunde and showed her his balance of N4,000; telling her he's account balance is increasing.
Meanwhile, he is owing Okechukwu N5,000.
Is this a progress for Zubairu or backwardness?
Zubairu is Nigeria (Tinubu).
Okechukwu is World Bank.
Yetunde is the citizenry.
This is clearly one of the downsides of giving a hungry man a platform; he can't separate right from wrong. All he knows is how to be a slave.
Somebody is standing for kidnapped victims, and you are here saying he is spoiling the image of Nigeria.
Dear Tinubu & his online supporters,
The Usa - Iran war has ended.
Price of crude is down.
The war is over.
Strait of Hormuz is open.
When will petrol price go back to N500/litre?
Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5.
I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma.
That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury
Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly.
I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while.
We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.
