Tinubu Seeks Senate Approval for Fresh $7.7bn (N10.78 trillion) Foreign Loan President Bola Tinubu has written to the Senate, requesting approval for a fresh $7.7 billion external loan to partly finance the Federal Government’s N20.2 trillion budget deficit. The proposed borrowing, calculated at an exchange rate of N1,400 to the dollar, is equivalent to approximately N10.78 trillion. In a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Tinubu explained that the loan would provide funding for part of the government’s budget shortfall. Announcing the request during plenary, Akpabio disclosed that the latest proposal replaces an earlier request for a $20.52 billion external loan, which was submitted to the Senate last week. The Senate President subsequently referred the President’s letter to the Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts, chaired by Senator Aliyu Wamakko (APC, Sokoto North), for further legislative consideration. Details of the proposed borrowing are expected to become clearer as the committee begins reviewing the request.

How can an entire political party hate accountability? Four years, and you couldn’t give an account of what you did, aside from pushing invisible policies that supposedly need a second term to manifest. Take a look around. Everything is in shambles. Everybody is just surviving. You do not deserve a second term.

When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough. When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education. Those experiences have stayed with me. I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford. This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration. Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education. Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms. We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities. A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000. Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home. Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms. Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future. I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work. I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system. I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI. If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available. And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them. Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education. The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential. We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President

FUNSO DOHERTY EXPOSES THE PYRAMID OF AGBEROISM AND MULTI-LAYERED TAXATION ON LAGOS ROADS; THE PYRAMID. The Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), HE Funso Doherty, has drawn attention to what he describes as an entrenched system of agberoism and multiple layers of taxation operating across Lagos roads, raising serious questions about who benefits from the system and the burden it places on residents, motorists, traders, and transport operators. Here's is the pyramid. According to Funso Doherty, the problem goes beyond the activities of individual street-level collectors. He argues that agberoism has evolved into a deeply entrenched structure, allegedly sustained by political interests and used as a channel for extracting revenue from ordinary Lagosians. His position raises a fundamental question: why has a problem that continues to affect the daily lives and economic activities of Lagos residents remained unresolved? Doherty argues that meaningful reform requires confronting the structures that sustain this system, rather than merely addressing its visible operators. Lagos deserves a transparent, accountable, and properly regulated transport and revenue collection system; one that protects livelihoods, eliminates arbitrary levies, and allows businesses and commuters to thrive without unnecessary financial burdens. The people of Lagos deserve answers, accountability, and a government that puts their welfare above political interests. The conversation about a cleaner, safer, and more accountable Lagos must begin with confronting the structures that undermine its progress. O TI YÁ! A New Lagos Is Possible. The New Way Has Come.

President Tinubu asks Senate to approve $7.7bn external borrowing plan to finance part of 2026 budget deficit, equivalent to approximately ₦10.79tn at the budget exchange rate of ₦1,400 per dollar.

She Has Been Friends With Her Male Best Friend For 10 Years And Believes Their Friendship Is Solid, Insisting He Would Never Want Anything More Than Friendship. So, He Asked Her To Call Him And Tell Him She Wanted Them To Become a Couple. His Reaction? 😩

I went to buy fish, and a woman walked in carrying a poly bag. She told the seller, “Oya, madam, give me my usual.” They brought out over 50 pieces of fish heads for her. Just the heads. I teased her and said, “Madam, if na your dog go chop this one, e go really enjoy.” She looked at me and said, “Which dog? Na me and my family go chop am. Where I wan see money to buy fish of ₦7k? This one na ₦3k, and e go last us for one week.” Oh Lord, I nearly cried. People are struggling to afford even the barest minimum. How did we get here? Omo, Tinubu must go.🤦🏽‍♀️

A woman or girl is reportedly killed every 49 hours in Nigeria because of gender-related violence and femicide. Let that sink in. Every 49 hours, somewhere in this country, a woman loses her life to violence that could have been prevented. And these are only reported and verified cases. Imagine the women whose deaths were never documented, whose stories never made the news, whose families were left to mourn in silence. Imagine a woman leaving home, never knowing she wouldn’t return. A daughter whose parents will never see her again. A sister whose siblings will never hear her voice. A mother whose children will grow up asking why she never came back. And sometimes, all she did was say NO. How many more women have to die before we take violence against women seriously? 💔

If you know anyone who plans to work for INEC in the coming elections, or anyone who is a corper that may work for INEC next year, please kindly send them this video to watch. It is better not to show up at all, than to collect money and rig elections for politicians. These animals in power will pay you peanuts and watch you get killed by an angry populace who are livid that their votes are being stolen. Please don’t be a tool in the hands of evil men who want to be in power at all costs. I beg you all. People are angry. Don’t lose your life over crumbs. Don’t rig elections for politicians that don’t even think your life is worth anything.

Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION! Because Americans voted against shege or hardship. This midterm election is proof that big money cannot win when the people turn out to vote en masse. There is a lot to unpack. A little-known lady whom only few people wanted to fund or support her campaigns has become the first Latina & first Hispanic governor elected in Texas history, as well as the first Democrat to win the office since 1995. She defeated an entrenched governor with the power of incumbency & a massive war chest. She was not a major household name or powerhouse before her 2026 campaigns. Her name is Gina Hinojosa. She is a civil rights & labor lawyer. She did it; she turned TX blue for the first time. She achieved the insanely unthinkable. Texas map will have to be redrawn Don't forget Elon Musk pumped in so much money into Texas, his HQ. For now, TX will remain a purple state for the foreseeable future. She was arguably one of those down-ballots, she went hard for those silent majority whose voices have been largely ignored. The daughter of Mexican immigrants stirred something inside the crowd, & they answered her call with a resounding YES! Gino is the story of victory; how underdogs finally get to win. 💪 James Talarico won the most expensive Senate race in American history, the first Democrat to win a statewide Txas election in over 30 years. Americans voted against shege or affordability crisis. It was everyday folks riled up against a political system dominated by big money donors led by Elon Musk himself. Americans rejected a government of the rich, for the rich, against the poor & struggling. Bear in mind that Musk spent at least $212 million on this race. Don't forget that Texas is Elon country. He has vast business interests in there. He lives outside Austin, & he is eager to take over an entire state park. In the final weeks of the race, Elon Musk's candidate who is Republican attorney general, Ken Paxton, his office sued Sam Altman & OpenAI, accusing them of imposing insufficient safeguards on ChatGPT. Don't forget that Sam & Elon are tech rivals. Whatever happened in the race for TX Governor & Senate should awaken Nigerians to stand up for themselves for once in their lives. Reject big money, a government of the rich & moneybags. Americans did not reinforce failure. Can you choose you this time? Can you tell the “Last Man Standing” & Oga hardship disguised as reforms to go fuck themselves? WAKE UP!!!

“As it stands, they have over 50 million AI generated voters that’ll compete with human votes at the 2027 elections. You’ll vote and vote but it won’t reflect cos AI votes will surpass everyone’s votes. INEC Chairman must go protest loading” Isaac Fayose reveals 🙆🏼‍♂️💔

One of the biggest mistakes a man can make is holding on to a woman at the expense of his own peace. Sometimes, the relationship you're fighting so hard to save is the very thing draining your energy, delaying your growth and stealing your happiness. Love her, but don't lose yourself trying to keep her. A wise man knows when to fight for a relationship and when to walk away.

Bola Tinubu’s total votes in 2023 were 8.8 million. INEC added more than 20 million AI voters in the 2027 voters register . APC got just 144k votes in Edo in 2023. So when you hear Okpebholo say Edo will deliver 2.5 million votes for APC in 2027, it’s clear these are AI votes. Amupitan must resign.

If Nigerians sit down to calculate the cost of their future plans against the current earning power and inflation figures, maybe we would understand well enough how dire a situation we are in
