University education is a privilege even in developed parts of the world. Basic education is a fundamental human right. Right to free and compulsory primary education. Right to available and accessible secondary education..

I voted for him. I left my house on Friday to sleep in a hotel close to my PU and 126 voted for him. I voted for a man who despite covid lockdown for a year, supervised the construction of two rail lines, the largest rice mill, made equity contribution to Lekki deep sea port,
There is this 15-year-old boy in my estate who just graduated with a NABTEB certificate from Government Technical College Ikorodu. He did JSS 1 - 3 in the usual secondary school then proceeded to the technical college to learn Block Laying, Bricklaying & Concreting.

Any president ready to fix our Debt to Revenue ratio must take harsh decisions and wean Nigeria off subsidies and call the bluff of the NLC, an archaic socialist group of old men

Tinubu tested them with a Muslim Masari as VP nominee, they didn't complain. If he had left Masari as VP, they would have kept quiet. It is not the Muslim issue that trigger them. It is the strength of the combination and the personality of Shettima. Tinubu carried them over 2.5

A friend called me to lament after buying a "full tank" at N60,000 which is roughly 100 litres in his SUV. I explained to him that in the past he would have paid 20,000 and the Govt would have paid the difference of 40,000.
He does this 3 times a month which means the govt…

I only have to blame GEJ for failing to lay the foundation for the most important road along the southern corridor. GEJ was politically weak and naive.
I have not seen any Northerner on my TL lamenting about the coastal road. They are politically smart, and they understand how…
The ASUU chairman has allowed his ego to consume him. The man is no longer fighting for the students or his colleagues. He is only out to make a political statement with his 8 months strike. The FG will not backtrack on IPPIS. ASUU doesn't own our universities they are employees.
The day the story of the crimes perpetuated by Biafra troops on ethnic minorities will be told, especially the Efik, Ibibios, Kalabari, the massacre in Oron, Auchi, Agenebode and Okene, this Twitter will not contain us.

The same set of people hailing Buhari today for deploying soldiers to Lagos for the election on Saturday was here asking "Who gave the order" claiming Tinubu or SanwoOlu deployed troops to the Tollgate. So you all know who has the power to deploy soldiers? 🤡🤡

In a discussion with Asiwaju and he kept asking about the benefits associated with having the NIN ( National Identity Number ). Asiwaju believes that the number should come with some social benefits. Access to credit / loans , health insurance, income status.
Why do we need a National Board for Arabic & Islamic studies? Why do we need a National Board to study any religion? Universities and CoEdu offer these courses already. This Board spent 380m to conduct an exam, has 5,963 employees on the federal payroll with a salary of N8.5bn
1. Figure is not recent, figure was pre 2015. Stop spreading lies, as a PhD holder, you should report facts based on research.
2. You do not have much knowledge about Education in Nigeria.
3. The enrollment figures have actually gone up due to FG's intervention.
Nigeria has the highest out of school children in the world. 13.2m.
My question is simple - what exactly did BUHARI do between 2015-2018 to reduce this disgraceful figure?
Note: You cannot abuse my PhD
You cannot blame GEJ
You cananot label me PDP
Just answer the question.
Asiwaju Jagaban Tinubu
06 / 07 formed his political Action Congress, used Lagos as his launch pad.
2011 - rebranded to Action Congress of Nigeria, won 6 states as a solid regional party.
2015 - galvanized a merger to go mainstream and sat back to remove PDP
2023 - GCFR
I was invited by the Honourable speaker of the House of Representatives to be a panelist at the Nigerian Tertiary Education Summit. I emphasized the need for University Autonomy - academic, financial and organizational. I had a chat with Prof. Emeritus Muhammad Munzali Jubril.
I am glad that I was a part of the extensive deliberations/papers. Well done to the COS Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and PBAT for staying true to the promise.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) a few minutes ago signed into law, The student loan bill, which provides for interest-free loans to indigent Nigerian students.
APGA was formed in 2003, Tinubu formed AC which later became ACN. Despite the initial setback of 2007, Tinubu refused the offer by Yar'adua to join the Unity Government. He kept on pushing and building alliances. By 2008, he retrieved Edo, Osun, Ekiti.
Here is a footage of the woman in Hijab who claimed she went out to buy food and was wrongly apprehended at Jakande by soldiers. A lot of Nigerians are liars and thieves. She lied openly against the soldiers drawing sympathy from the public. Look at her with looters..
When they receive dollars from family members abroad, they jubilate and run to Aboki to change at N890. When they need the same dollars to pay foreign bills or buy foreign items, they suddenly remember the FG and CBN rate and the fact dollar was N80 during Obasanjo's tenure.
13 years of hosting his colloquium to share his ideas, several books, town hall meetings, the best team, assembled the best brains in several sectors, and mentor to many successful Nigerians. Total disrespect to Asiwaju, from someone who got his best advise from a mad man. Are…
BAT's discernible shift from the narrative of continuing where PMB stopped,to mimicking what

promised in order to engender a New Nigeria, is blatant imitatation; the sincerest form of flattery and an unvarnished admission that indeed, a New Nigeria is POssible.

Tinubu has visited the President, the VP, Dave Umahi, Amaechi, Yahya Bello, Akpabio, flew to Minna today to visit the Governor, Sani Bello and rtd Gen Babangida in 48 hrs. He is not a laid back politician like PMB. He will cover his grounds 10 times before the elections.
FIFA is unable to bully the rich Qatar to bend its sovereign laws. If it was a small, poor African or South American country, FIFA would have revoked the hosting right.
There is no demand on ASUU's list that should warrant an 8-month strike action. Nothing on earth and in heaven. If you are an ASUU member, I challenge you to list your demands or try to justify the strike action. It's clearly egotistical and it's not about the students.
I have been watching the Dutch tourist's videos on Youtube... took a short clip of her interaction with Police officers in Gambia. Gambia is a poorer country than Nigeria, yet the policemen were so happy and professional.
We blame poverty for every bad behavior in Nigeria.
8 months gone, what did ASUU achieve?
1. Disrupted academic calendar
2. Kept students at home for 8 months
3. Starved its members of salaries for months
4. Disrupted NYSC calender
5. Fast-tracked the registration of two other unions.
6. Got an unfavorable court judgment
It's embarrassing to compare Tinubu's ingenuity, leadership and governance experience with other candidates. What do you think of his idea to offer tax incentive to companies who employ a certain number of Nigerians yearly? It can be properly structured
A Fulani man from Katsina paid the arrears of 13% derivation owed to oil producing communities since 1999. "Our son" from Bayelsa couldn't pay it despite oil boom.

Out of Nigeria’s 108,000km of surfaced roads the FG has just 32,000km or 18%. 82% belongs to states and LGs. If the FG fixes the 32,000km / 18% Nigeria will still have terrible roads.
Out of the over 2000 government hospitals in Nigeria, the FG has just less than 75.

Dear Minister Dave Umahi, kindly permit me to share my thoughts with you.
1. Your biggest challenge is money. Nigeria has a huge infrastructure deficit estimated at N10trn and with your ministry's annual budgetary allocation of N300bn, you can barely construct 200km of road in a…
Tinubu asked "What is taking them to Guyana?" You immediately know that he still follows the activities of Exxon and he is very current. Exxon discovered 11billion barrels in Guyana and Guyana just launched a different Production Sharing Agreement for prospective oil investors.

When you realise that Lagos alone consumes 8000 cows per day, put the cost at N100,000 per cow for easy maths = N800,000,000 daily. Now imagine the amount pan Nigeria. Move to grains - millet, sorghum, maize, soya beans. Sorghum especially for the stout and beer we consume...

Joe Biden will be forced to listen to Chimamanda not to congratulate Tinubu because she is an elite in the Democratic Party. She is also a close friends to the Obama's , Oprah etc ...these are the powers that controls the world today .

Seems the fastest way to get popular on twitter is to continuously bash Nigeria and project negative vibes. As usual Nigerians have jumped on Senegal's ventilator new.

@adamugarba

In the same spirit of public enlightenment let me make it clear to the public what you wish upon their children & unborn generations. With your education & exposure you’ve equated the 16years of PDP to the actual age of the country, while conveniently ignoring military rule.👇🏽
Up till this moment, there are no official results for the 2007 elections. Results from 11 States were announced and INEC declared Yaradua the winner with 24m votes. Yaradua a true Muslim out of fear of being punished in the grave had to confess and apologize to Nigerians.
Went to Ojota and Jibowu parks to send items to Ilorin and Benin. The parks were filled with travellers and buses were fully loaded in minutes at Ojota. At the GIG park in Lekki, I shipped an item to Uyo. If you watch AriseTV, you will think Nigerians no longer travel by road.
Have you finally agreed that PBAT attended both RDC and CSU, and graduated with honors? He had only 3 Cs in his Academic career spanning 4 years. The rest were A's and B's according to his transcripts. Do you agree that he was an exceptional student?
Yes or No
Out of the 5 states in the South East, 3 states had Governorship elections on Saturday - Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi. Imo and Anambra are off season elections . INEC can't conclude elections in 2 states ( Enugu and Abia ) due to violence and disruption at collation centres.

In fact, no beach was under…
Let us stop communicating like children,
1. This is NOT a tribal thing; it's a business thing. That “bar beach” has been underutilised as a tourist destination for decades until a UK Nigerian invested $100m there and showed serious ROI. Now, Lebanese Nigeria wants all of it
