GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The PM of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, called his nation a "barren island"; I am quoting him.
The leadership of Singapore took citizens from that barren island from $516 in 1965 to $98,814 in 2025. The leadership of Nigeria took citizens from a nation endowed with immense God-given wealth from $117 in 1965 to $4,63 in 2014 to $835 in 2025 (IMF)
Singapore, with a smaller landmass, smaller population, and no fossil fuels, grew its budget and GDP per capita through the work of its leaders; they did not give excuses like "we are a poor nation"
Let's move to China, because someone will say, 'what's the population of Singapore'?
China in 1965 had a GDP per Capita of $65; in 2025, the GDP per capita of China was $13,862. Again, this was down to the work of the Chinese leadership
Let's go to Ethiopia; it's chosen because of its population. Its poverty rate has increased just as Nigeria's poverty rate has increased, but there is a critical distinction.
Between 2015 and 2025, Ethiopia’s average crude birth rate was approximately 32.4 births per 1,000 people, while its average real GDP per capita growth rate was around 4.5% to 5.5% annually. Nigeria, on the other hand, has maintained an exceptionally high average crude birth rate of roughly 36.8 births per 1,000 people, while its average real GDP per capita growth rate was marginally negative or stagnant, averaging approximately -0.1% to 0.2% annually.
Translation? Poverty is rising in both nations, but Ethiopia is growing its economy faster than Nigeria and creating more wealth for its citizens, as shown in GDP per capita.
The real danger in saying Nigeria is poor is that it insulates the Nigerian leadership from delivering the dividends of this blessed land to the people of Nigeria.
A big part of what ails Nigeria is also corruption. In 2013, a young man named Japhet Omojuwa (any relation?) said, and I quote, "corruption at its most chronic height has been responsible for the resource curse Nigeria suffers." T
Today, I am told that it's no longer corruption that ails Nigeria but income that's the problem. Income? The FGN got resources, N20t from subsidy removal and borrowing, and spent less than N300b on education. So are resources really the issue?
As you said, China was poor, but the leadership of China acted like the nation was poor, wearing austere Mao suits and riding bicycles to work (not Rolls-Royce); if Nigeria is poor, why is the leadership acting like the nation is rich? Why is poverty only a defense when it comes to health and education? I have not heard the Nigerian Senate say Because of poverty, they will now drive assembled Nord cars locally "
This then brings us to Nord; I fear you are reading this literally. If you go to China, India, or even Germany, you will struggle to see foreign cars. Do you know how many parts go into a single car?
If the president takes his pen and says, henceforth, only Nord and Innoson will be used by all Federal agencies, do you know how many jobs will be created directly and indirectly: the FDI, the training centers, the suppliers, the steel sector, the glass sector, the fabrics sector, the rubber sector, the finance sector? The advertisers, the technical schools, the insurance sector. trade? You are scoring 500 cars by calculating their sales price; that's like scooping water from the Atlantic with your hands to count the fish in the ocean.
I urge you to read up on the "Chicken tax" enacted in 1964 in America that subsequently allowed Detroit’s "Big Three" (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) to dominate the highly lucrative pickup truck and SUV till this day.
Nigeria is not poor; I casually asked ChatGPT the value of Nigeria's oil and gas in the ground; the number was $ 3.5 T, that's three and a half trillion USD. This same Nigeria has an oil company with no functional refinery. So it's not a poverty issue; it's a failure to create wealth.
This will not be my last post on this; my job on social media is to educate and inform and to hold the leadership to account factually. If you want to offer off-ramps to leadership that will not invest in wealth creation by all means, go ahead; keep insisting Nigeria is poor while the government spends millions on influencers (not you of course)
If a man has a yam field and refuses to plant yams, he can't complain that he is hungry
Nigeria is poor. That is an objective statement. Even the things you wrote after that projected the state of Nigeria’s poverty.Â
Your post opens by declaring Nigeria is not poor and ends by admitting Nigeria has not arrested extreme poverty. Both cannot be true. This is Peter Obi level contradiction.Â
A country is not rich because of what lies under its soil. It is rich because of what its people produce above it. By the measure that matters to the woman selling pepper at Mile 12, Nigeria is poor: 63 per cent of Nigerians, about 140 million people, were below the poverty line in 2025. Our income per head is around $1,250 a year. That is poverty.Â
Singapore was never a "barren rock." In 1965 its income per head was about $516, roughly level with Mexico and South Africa, and it was a busy British port. Singapore had no minerals at all. It is the strongest evidence against your post's claim. Resources did not make Singapore rich. Productivity did.
Ethiopia is a strange choice of "no excuses" model. Its poverty rate rose from 33 per cent in 2016 to a projected 43 per cent in 2025, and it has been in debt distress since missing a Eurobond payment in December 2023. If Nigeria missed a Eurobond payment, you are your presidential candidate will be shouting that to the heavens.Â
Ethiopia has not arrested extreme poverty either. Fast growth is not the same as being rich. Aren’t you meant to be one of the smartest Obidients? Even objective numbers are tripping you? Ethiopia? Did you think you were replying someone in your herd? Ethiopia? Lol.
The China figure of $113 per head in 1970 is correct. But China did not escape by announcing it was secretly rich. It admitted it was poor, then spent four decades building factories, roads and export industries.
India's progress is real. Its extreme poverty fell to 5.3 per cent. But Nigeria is not alone at the bottom: the DRC and (your) Ethiopia sit with us among the four countries holding half of sub-Saharan Africa's extreme poor.
The real danger in "Nigeria is not poor" is that it becomes the excuse. It tells Nigerians the wealth already exists and someone is just sitting on it. Politics then becomes a fight over sharing, not a project of producing. That’s exactly why none of those who want to replace President Tinubu have any plan on expanding our productivity. It’s all about how to waste the little there is.Â
About 1.6 million barrels a day at $65 is roughly $38 billion a year before any costs. Divide that by 230 million Nigerians and you get about $165 per person per year. Is that wealth?Â
You cannot fix what you misdiagnose. Nigeria is poor. But Nigeria does not have to stay poor.Â
As for Nord: 500 cars will not move GDP. Lol. Even at ₦50 million each, that is ₦25 billion, a rounding error in a ₦372.8 trillion economy. But a Nigerian factory making cars that Nigerians pay for is exactly how poor countries become rich. Make it 500,000. We are talking numbers, let’s get real please.Â
And this is my last response here. I cannot engage people who lie about bare facts for the sake of their uninformed audience or politics.
Good day Aja.

Envelope budgeting is a household habit, but it also works for government. In my conversation with @Nairametrics, I walk through how a line-by-line look at spending protects essentials like health and security and questions the rest.

As expected, the Nigerian Presidency (@officialABAT) exists in a world of untruths, half-truths, and fantasy. What @SundayDareSD has stated is only half the story and a lie by omission. Here are the facts:
@SundayDareSD is correct that the @uscourts blocked Aaron Greenspan's request to serve discovery on Nigerian President #Tinubu in an unrelated matter involving alleged hacking by the Nigerian Presidency and its agents, which had nothing to do with the FOIA request for alleged heroin-trafficking records. What he intentionally left out is that the court:
1: Denied the @FBI 's and @DEAHQ 's cross-motions for summary judgment regarding the vast majority of their withholdings.
2: Slammed the FBI and DEA for using "boilerplate" and "imprecise" excuses to hide information regarding #Tinubu and his alleged drug trafficking associate Agbele.
3: Firmly ruled that because a detailed DOJ asset-forfeiture affidavit from 1993, mapping out the drug-trafficking and money-laundering investigation into Tinubu, is already part of the public record, the FBI and DEA cannot use broad privacy or secrecy exemptions to keep that identical information redacted.
4: Rejected the DEA's excuses: The DEA tried to withhold pages using generic, single-sentence explanations regarding wiretaps and pen registers. The judge rejected these explanations, stating that the DEA had completely failed to meet its legal burden.
5: Ordered the FBI and DEA to go back, review the files against the public record, and provide detailed justifications for why any portions of these files should remain secret by November 27, 2026.
Never trust anything the #Tinubu presidency says. They lie both directly and by omission. The court's decision is a massive blow to President Tinubu, and the Tinubu presidency is trying to hide behind the judge's denial of Aaron Greenspan's request to question Tinubu in a matter unrelated to the FOIA case.

*BREAKING: US Court Blocks Discovery Attempt Against President Tinubu in FOIA Suit*
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A United States District Court for the District of Columbia has delivered a significant procedural ruling in the ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation involving federal agencies, rejecting an attempt by plaintiff Aaron Greenspan to secure limited discovery from Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and political consulting firm DCI Group.
In the October 30 ruling, the court determined that Greenspan’s requested discovery—which centered on alleged cyberattacks against his website—was not sufficiently relevant to the core legal issues of the FOIA dispute, which primarily concerns record requests made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Alongside blocking the discovery motion against President Tinubu and DCI Group, the court turned down Greenspan’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed a separate request by nonparty Karl Von Batten to file an amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) brief, as well as Greenspan’s accompanying motion for judicial notice.
Addressing the outcome, attorney Christopher W. Carmichael noted that the decision reinforces the necessity of keeping the proceeding strictly tied to its primary legal scope, stating that the court made clear this FOIA litigation cannot be used to pursue unrelated matters.
Echoing these sentiments, attorney Oluwole Afolabi highlighted that while the underlying FOIA claims remain before the court, these rulings establish important procedural boundaries and clarify which issues are appropriate for consideration as the case moves forward. @PBATMediaCentre @officialABAT @AyoOyalowo @BBCWorld @TheANNAfrica

Nigeria's debt interest payments exploded to N7.7 trillion in the first half of 2026 a jaw-dropping 124.2% of total revenue of N6.2 trillion. In plain English: the government paid N1.5 trillion more in interest than it even earned.
Omo, the country is paying debt with borrowed oxygen. A fiscal crisis is no longer looming; it has arrived.
