Yes, basically
You will be managing your life till 30, then you get married, and before long, your lovely wife will expose you to how the 30 years you’ve lived without her is basically you living a reckless lifestyle. What do you mean you eat out most days? Don’t you know restaurants are a public place where people from all walks of life patronise, and there are diseases you can easily contract by sharing spoons and other utensils?
Or, how can you be sleeping comfortably without having your luggage neatly packed on the night before your journey? Don’t you know that you will miss some things if you did not start preparing days/weeks ahead?
Or, how can you be comfortable with your phone on a low battery? Don’t you know it will switch off any moment and the world might miraculously come to an end, how can you reach out to her with a dead phone?
Your 30 years on earth? You only survived by the grace of God. Now, gentleman, come and see how human beings live. 😂

When Firdauz was denied the call to bar in 2017 because she refused to open her head or remove her Hijab, all the bunch of jokers who stood up against her were disgraced in the end. She remained resolute until the draconian rule was upturned. Today, she is now a lawyer doing well for herself and family. Since then, Muslim sisters have been allowed to not only cover their heads during call to bar, across the country, Muslim sisters now enjoy that liberty as well anytime they appear before courts.

One interesting thing about this fooling is that it’s only realized when the Muslims are being discriminated against. Just to show solidarity for the oppressors of the Muslims. They do not feel the need to demand for their rights on a normal day because it never existed. And guess what? They can’t sustain it like the Muslims.

"Growing the economy is an anti-corruption strategy"
Lee Kwan Yew went straight to corruption and public service reforms. Mao, same. In fact, all tiger nations did the same.
It's NOT possible to develop with corruption. You just want to vote a thief.
I'll not give in to FOMO this time
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has officially opened the bidding process for 40 oil and gas blocks, aggressively wooing global investors to choose Nigeria amid tightening global capital competition. Led by Commission Chief Executive Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, the agency announced that it will launch its digital bid portal on November 20, 2026

I disagree with your submission.
Corruption is one of Nigeria’s biggest problems.
How do you trust an entity with much more when it can’t manage the little it has? Ask taxpayers if they would rather pay taxes to the government or use it to develop their communities and see what would the outcome be.
Every country that has made significant progress in lifting people out of poverty has had to fight corruption seriously- Singapore, China, Taiwan, South Korea and so on. In fact, in some cases, some of these countries had to resort to draconian measures to curb the menace of corruption.
It is transparency, accountability, resources management and development that make people and companies trust you and want to work with you and not a high tax to GDP.
How do you even grow the tax to GDP ratio when taxes go to individual pockets?
Fighting corruption and increasing the government’s revenue base can happen simultaneously.
Corruption is one of Nigeria’s biggest problems!!!
Yup, Whilst corruption is a problem, it is not even top 5 of Nigeria's problems, any leadership in Nigeria that makes corruption a central issue for its campaign or rule will just chase shadows and waste everyone's time. Nigeria's central problem is a revenue problem, the country is just too poor for the kind of life we aspire for.
Our net budget is barely $40B, which is wholly inadequate and unacceptable for a nation of 240 million people. Nigeria needs a leadership that can grow the pie, to have a semblance of stability, we need a GDP of at least $800B, and a Tax:gdp of 15%, that will put government annual revenue from just taxation at at least $100B, we've wasted decades chasing shadows and spending what ought to be our seeds on ineffectual subsidies that only bred corruption.

The rat keeps entering my kitchen and stealing my fish. I tell my neighbor and he says well the problem is that you are not buying enough fish. If you had a whole lot more fish, you won't even feel it that your fish is being stolen.
Anyone that tells you we don't have a corruption problem but a revenue problem is deliberately playing tricks on you.
Nigeria is ranked 142nd out of 182 in the transparency international corruption perception index.
Nigeria trails behind 33 other African countries on the index including Seychelles, Cabo Verde, Botswana, and Rwanda.
We and Cameroon, Guinea, and Papua New Guinea are mates in corruption.
Don't let them distract you. Corruption is a major reason we are in multi dimensional poverty.
You go vote abi you no go vote?

Lee Kuan Yew began fighting corruption immediately he took office.
One of the reasons Singapore became a global powerhouse was their ZERO tolerance for corruption.
He suppressed corruption so much that public money was actually spent on public good rather than leaking into the pockets of politicians or contractors. Every dollars of tax revenue was efficiently directed into building critical infrastructure. Every penny!!
So when idiots loyal to the incumbent party tell you that the problem of a graft-prone country like ours isn’t corruption, please do not be logical. Curse them & their family.

Yes, $200 per citizen.
But how can a poor nation:
1. Buy and maintain a presidential air fleet of planes and helicopters costing billions—N20b in 2025?
2. Build an N21b home for a VP that is now abandoned?
3. Import SUVs for all lawmakers, costing N40b?
If the nation is poor and everyone will get less than $200, why are unelected aides flying private jets from Abuja to Kaduna?
Why is the poverty story only applicable when it's time to share oil wealth with all Nigerians? Why don't we hear “the nation is poor” when senators are sent tokens?
Again, I remind everyone that these figures below were published by the FGN following the removal of the fuel subsidy and external borrowings:
Total resources: N20 trillion
Total education spend: <N300b

If you shared everything Nigeria’s federal government expects to collect in 2026 equally among Nigerians, each person would get $114.35 for the year. That is $9.53 a month, about N13,000.
And that assumes nothing else happens. No roads, no schools, no hospitals, no army, no salaries. Just the entire federal revenue divided by the number of Nigerians.
The first delusion to cure yourself of is that Nigeria is a rich country. You cannot heal a disease you refuse to acknowledge.
As a Nigerian, you should be angry that our election conversations almost never touch this, the mother of every other problem we have.
How do we expand our productivity?
That is the question. Everything else sits inside it.
Today is Sunday. When they say “Owó ni kẹ̀kẹ́ ìhìnrere,” what do you think it means?
It does not apply to the gospel alone. Whatever you want to carry, money is what carries it. It is why one of the first things the United States did in its war on terror was go after the money.
PS: Some comparisons below.

The first step of solving a problem is its acknowledgement. The trivialization & normalization of corruption is a major issue in Nigeria. It allows corruption to persist as the main impediment of socioeconomic development of 🇳🇬.
I totally disagree with this argument.
Corruption undermines everything! Almost every major problem we have in Nigeria is either caused or made significantly worse by corruption.
If we ask you how to build $800 billion economy, the answer would probably be to increase the productivity of our citizens. How do we do that? By investing in quality education and building a skilled workforce. But how do we achieve that when corrupt politicians and public servants are busy stealing the money meant for our schools, with little or no consequences?
You'd probably also say we need to generate more electricity. But just recently, the president had to order the clearance of grid infrastructure materials that had been stuck at the ports for 20 fucking years. Why???
There's no amount of patriotism, vision or passion that can make up for the billions stolen, misappropriated and wasted by the very people entrusted with managing our resources.
We cannot keep talking about improving productivity, education, healthcare, infrastructure and economic growth without confronting the corruption that continuously undermines our ability to achieve any of them.

Lmaoooooooooooooo.
Nigeria’s revenue problem is a direct consequence of the decades of intentional corruption.
It’s Nigeria’s number 1 problem. If you cannot manage wealth & the little you have is stolen, it doesn’t matter if you increase the “pie”, it will also get stolen.
You guys are extremely disingenuous or ignorant.

I hate these budget comparisons with developed countries. They're a complete waste of time and a distraction from the real issues. No Nigerian living in Rigasa is expecting NHS-level healthcare. They just want their local PHC adequately staffed and stocked. Instead, the little that is allocated is stolen, mismanaged or wasted. And then we have intellectuals telling us the problem is that we aren't budgeting billions and billions of dollars.
