Nigeria's households are cutting spending again as inflation pressure returns, with soaring food, rental, and transportation costs driving the squeeze.
Mary Chukwu, a secondary school teacher in Ketu – Lagos, now spends nearly her entire monthly salary commuting to work from Adamo in Ikorodu to Ketu. Higher rental costs had pushed her to move from residing in Ketu to Adamo in February...

@SadiqMaunde@JoulesBella They just want to keep increasing prices of things but never want to discuss the other benefits associated with those other places
I'm going to say something that might upset some people, but I believe it deeply and the evidence backs it up.
The single most powerful thing Black people anywhere in the world can do to fight racism is to become collectively wealthy.
Not just individually successful, but wealthy as a community.
I watched this happen with other groups. When Japan was poor, Japanese people in America were put in internment camps. When Japan got rich, suddenly everyone wanted a Toyota and Japanese culture became aspirational.
Korean Americans were targets of violence in the early 1990s. Today, after South Korea's economic rise, Korean culture is one of the most admired in the world.
The pattern is so consistent it's almost boring: poverty invites contempt, prosperity commands respect.
So when I hear debates about fighting racism in America, I always think the same thing. Yes, call out injustice when you see it, absolutely. But also build businesses, create wealth, and invest in your children's education like your life depends on it.
Make your community so economically powerful that discrimination becomes expensive for anyone who practices it.
That is how you win the game everyone else already figured out.
Every policy is best evaluated by its impact on the common people.
I can't say more than that as everyone can make of it whatever they can see & feel.
Nigeria has taken bold steps toward rebuilding its economy, and the results are beginning to show.
After fuel subsidy removal, state revenues increased, giving governors more resources to serve their people. A unified exchange rate stabilised the currency, and inflation started to ease.
Through NELFUND student loans, over 1.5 million indigent students now have access to higher education. This has been described as a patriotic investment in Nigeria’s future. Tax reforms now ensure wealthier citizens contribute more, while those at the bottom pay less.
Respected leaders across political lines, including Prof. Soludo, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo‑Iweala, and others have acknowledged that the reforms are stabilising the economy.
Nigeria is strengthening its global partnerships. During President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visit to the UK, a £746 million port modernisation deal was signed to upgrade Apapa and Tin Can Island ports, improve cargo turnaround time, and boost trade capacity. These will benefit generations.
Insecurity continues to challenge our progress. Some actors appear determined to destabilise the country through violence, misinformation, and propaganda.
But Nigeria will not fall. Our Armed Forces are confronting these threats, and patriotic citizens must stand united against terror, fake news, and those who wish the nation harm.
May God protect Nigeria and frustrate every force working against our peace and progress. Amen.

My American colleagues laughed when I brought jollof rice to the office potluck.
I was the only Nigerian in a team of 25 in California. Someone whispered
“Is that spicy ketchup rice?”
I smiled and kept quiet, but inside I was embarrassed.
By lunchtime the entire tray was gone.
People kept coming back for seconds, asking for the recipe, and one girl said
“This is better than my grandma’s jambalaya!”
My boss even joked that we should make it a monthly thing.
That day taught me something powerful… what feels too different or too much in our culture is often what people love most about us.
Stop shrinking your flavor to fit in.
🚨🎙️ Peter Schmeichel on Roberto Martínez:
"Roberto Martínez has to be one of the most disappointing managers at this World Cup so far. He wasted Belgium's golden generation, and now it feels like the same thing is happening with Portugal. 🇵🇹😩
How do you leave players like João Félix and Rafael Leão on the bench while sticking with a system that clearly isn't working? Portugal have too much attacking talent to look this predictable and cautious.
His tactics are far too conservative. The attack lacks creativity, the midfield often looks disconnected, and his substitutions usually come too late to change the game.
The 1-1 draw against DR Congo should be a serious warning. Portugal have one of the strongest squads in the tournament, but they're playing nowhere near their potential. If things don't change quickly, Portugal could waste another golden opportunity to win the World Cup." 🇵🇹💔
Imagine being so talented you could make marble appear soft to the touch. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 years old when he created this breathtaking masterpiece in the 1600s.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was just 23 years old when he finished The Abduction of Proserpina in 1622. Widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the Baroque era, the sculpture is celebrated for making solid Carrara marble appear remarkably soft and lifelike. Its most famous detail depicts Pluto’s fingers sinking into Proserpina’s thigh, creating the astonishing illusion of flesh yielding under pressure.
Through dramatic movement, deep shadows, and exquisitely polished surfaces, Bernini transformed rigid stone into what seems like flowing fabric, delicate skin, and even tears. Today, this extraordinary display of artistry and emotion can be seen at the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
"Buhari's farmers took loans and married other wives" ... BVN backed loans oh,so that's why we don't need to fund farmers and spend billions on imports..
So how is GSI not functional when it comes to ACB or is that positioning not stupid enough to encourage imports.
No South African should attack anyone from our sister African countries”
~ South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says as he speaks on the 30th of June deadline given for people to leave the country
ME: Look at an effigy masquerading as a president. Rather than doing what is right, he appears content to watch while the animals he has nurtured in South Africa continue to prey on people from a sister African nation.
It is not enough that they have been attacked physically; they have also been devastated mentally and financially. Yet there seems to be neither outrage nor decisive action from the very leadership of Zoo country.
A leader like you has failed a fundamental test of leadership.
