NIGERIA’S RE-BASED GDP IS A HOAX – MASSES ECONOMIC PAINS CONTINUE UNABATED!

 

The National Bureau of Statistics, (NBS), says the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has hit N372.82trn naira in spite of prevailing and glaring poverty rates across the land!

The government agency on 21^st July, 2025, stated that Nigeria’s economy grew by 3.13 per cent in the first quarter of 2025 from the 2.27 per cent recorded in the same period in 2024.

In nominal terms, the economy grew to N372.82 trillion from N205.09 trillion in the base year of 2019.

During the Goodluck Jonathan’s Administration, the Editorial Board of the Zion B-BC Newsletter in our publication, Vol.2.  No.37 of 27^th April 2014, titled, “NIGERIA’S RE-BASED GDP SHOULD DELIVER DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY!” canvassed and advocated that the politically-crafted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) should not be another hoodwink!

 

OUR FEARS WERE CONFIRMED!

 

Eleven years down the line from Jonathan to Buhari and now Tinubu’s directionless and horrifically- corrupt regime, Nigeria’s Economy has nose-dived from Gross Domestic Product to GROSS DEMONIC PRODUCT!

Within that period, not less than 133 million Nigerians have been classified as MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY- STRICKEN by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), to which successive governments had become LAP DOGS!

In 2013, Nigeria’s GDP estimate was put at USD$510billiion dollars or NGN80.3 trillion naira, the highest since 1990 when it was last calculated and catapulted the country’s economy as THE LARGEST IN AFRICA and 26^th globally.

Even at that global economic elevation, a World Bank research revealed that about 100million Nigerians dwelt in abject poverty ON A PER CAPITA OF USD$1.5 dollar or NGN250 NAIRA PER DAY – which exposed that RE-BASED GDP – a total contradiction, a PAPER TIGER!

AND YET - NIGERIA ‘S 2025 RE-BASED GDP BY THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS (NBS), PRESENT UPGRADED FIGURES!

 

Speaking during a press briefing, the Statistician General of the Federation, Prince Adeyemi Adeniran, said the economy was rebased from the 2010 base year to 2019.

He added that by ranking the GDP estimates at the 2019 base year, Real Estate ranked third displacing Crude Oil and Natural Gas to the fifth position.

This is due to better coverage of the Real Estate informal sector. The top five activities are crop production (17.58%), trade (17.42%), real estate (10.78%), telecommunications (6.78%), and crude petroleum and natural gas (5.85%) as against crop production (19.62%), trade (15.61%), crude petroleum and natural gas (8.60%), telecommunications (8.25%), and real estate (6.24%) recorded in the previous estimates of 2019.

He added that the exercise began in 2018/2019 as economies are dynamic and change from time to time, influencing household purchase and government thus the need to rebase.

He said the informal sector increased to 42.5 per cent from 41.4 per cent.

He, however, said the rebasing is not instituted or directed by the government to meet any target but maintained that the elaborate data collection activities embarked on by the Bureau led to significant improvements in the coverage of activities such as digital economic activities, water transportation, activities of pension funds administrators, National Health Insurance Authority [NHIA], Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund [NSITF], activities of modular refineries, domestic households as employers of labor, informal sector activities, quarrying and other mining activities.

 

He added that in nominal terms, Nigeria’s economy was estimated at N205.09 trillion, representing a 41.1% increase from the previous base year value.

Expo: “Nominal terms” means that the much-publicized Re-Based GDP percentages are insensitive figures to further heighten the terrible hardship, suffering and hyper-inflation already created in the DOLLARIZED ECONOMY to further impoverish the downtrodden!

Whereas, Real term GDP growth in 2024, which portrayed actual costs and inflation rates of goods and services was 3.38%!

Nominal GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced in an economy using current market prices, while real GDP adjusts for inflation by using prices from a base year. Real GDP provides a more accurate picture of economic growth because it reflects changes in the quantity of goods and services produced, rather than just price fluctuations.

Naira depreciation and GDP growth

While the current GDP numbers appear high in naira terms, it is lower when converted to dollars.

 

Using the current N1, 529.53 per dollar rate, the data shows that the economy is worth $243,526,768,148.72 billion in dollar terms.

This shows that Nigeria is still behind South Africa which economy is worth $410,338 billion, Egypt with $347,342bn and Algeria with $268,885bn.

According to economic analysts, what the NBS did this time around is to aggregate all the activities in the economy using basically three approaches: the production approach, the income approach and the expenditure approach.

However, the GDP rebasing still creates a communication gap between Government and Citizens who hear that the economy is bigger, but jobs would still be scarce, inflation may not automatically drop, and living standards may not suddenly improve!

Ultimately, the challenge is not whether the GDP figure is big or small. To the ordinary person the legitimate question to ask would be: How is the bigger economy serving the people? Does it translate into jobs, affordable food, working schools, functioning hospitals, and a better life?

 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A RE-BASED  ECONOMY AMIDST RISING POVERTY RATE?

 

Despite the rise in the economy as revealed with the current re-based GDP, reports show otherwise.

The World Bank in May 2025 projected that the poverty rate in Nigeria is expected to rise by 3.6 per cent over the next five years.

This was according to the bank’s Africa’s Pulse report, released during the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, DC.

The NBS’s multi-dimensional poverty index indicated that 63% of persons living within Nigeria (133 million people) are multi-dimensionally poor.

This is in addition to the reduced purchasing power, following the removal of subsidy from premium motor spirit (PMS) also known as petroleum in 2023 and the currency has since lost almost 70% of its value against the dollar.

 

WHAT IS GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)?

 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total monetary value of all final goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period, typically a year or a quarter. It serves as a key indicator of a country’s economic health and is used to gauge the size of its economy and the living standards of its population.

GDP represents the total market value of all goods and services produced within a country, including those produced for consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports (exports minus imports).

GDP helps economists, policymakers, and investors understand the overall economic activity of a nation, track its growth or decline over time, and compare it to other countries.

BUT IN NIGERIA THE PURPOSE OF GDP IS TO HOODWINK THE INFORMAL SECTOR AND COVER UP GOVERNMENT’S CHAINS OF FAILURES!

MR. WALE EDUN SAYS ECONOMY IS ON COURSE!

 

The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, has described the release of Nigeria’s 2024 rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures alongside the Q1 2025 growth estimate of 3.13%, as clear indicators of economic resilience and the success of ongoing reforms.

 He added that the GDP rebasing, carried out by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), is Nigeria’s first since 2014 and aligns with international best practices and offers a more accurate, comprehensive view of the country’s economic structure, reflecting evolving sectors such as digital technology, entertainment, and professional services. (FALSE – read early paragraphs above for the truth)!

 

THE ADVOCACY FOR CITIZENS - ORIENTED ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA IS NON- NEGOTIABLE!

 

1.    This demand is gaining momentum daily while the corrupt and dirty politicians are ganging and warming up for the 2027 General Elections!

2.    On another plank, Legislators from all divides are collecting humongous allowances in the guise of amending the 1999 MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL CONSTITUTION!

3.    Mr. President on his own part is looking forward to borrowing more money in Dollars for “INFRASTRUCTURES!”

4.    AND THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS ABOUT TO “REWARD EVERYONE ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS” (Romans. 2:6).

ZION PROPHESIES HAVE NEVER FAILED TO COME TRUE!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 613 20th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

ZION PROPHESIES HAVE NEVER FAILED TO COME TRUE!

[President Tinubu Has Lost A Golden Opportunity To Redeem Nigeria Just Like His Predecessor].

The Lord’s Prophet and Editor of the Zion B-BC Newsletter prophesied that Bola Tinubu would be winner among the Four Contestants of the Presidential Election which took place on Saturday 25th February 2023, in the following manner:

“Thus saith The Lord;

1) Make categorical inaugural statement on 29th May 2023, that you will set up a CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY to look into the masses demand for the restructuring of the Nigerian Federation with the DRAFTING OF UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION to pave way for a Parliamentary System of Government.

2) Within your first THREE MONTHS in office, you MUST establish all necessary platforms through which the Presidential System would wind down gradually for all political structures from the Federal through the States and the Local Government Areas to collapse seamlessly.

3) ON MONDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2023, A PRIME MINISTER FOR NIGERIA MUST BE SWORN IN TO ASSUME OFFICE!

“All of the above must be carried out diligently and with precision according to my instructions with a Team of dedicated Patriots that I HAVE already appointed for you even before the foundation of the World!

“Believe in God and you shall be established, believe in His Prophets and you shall prosper.” (Ref. Zion B-BC Newsletter 498th Edition titled “NIGERIA IS NOT ACCURSED TO PRESIDENCY – TINUBU WILL ACTUALIZE THE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IN SIX MONTHS “, published 11pm. Sunday 26th February 2023, when collation had just begun!)

QUESTION: Did the Alhaji who gambled on “a Muslim-Muslim Ticket” and won obey his CREATOR?

WE are spiritually convinced that the above Divine instructions and many other Zion Publications that followed as REMINDERS, GOT TO HIS TABLE but he just went in the opposite direction like Prophet Jonah. (Ref. The Biblical Book of Jonah).

“GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED, WHAT EVER A MAN SOWS, THAT HE SHALL REAP!” [GALATIANS 6:7].

From the onset of his administration in 2023, the incumbent President of Nigeria flagrantly disobeyed divine command.

King James Version of the Bible, 1 Samuel 15:23 states, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” This verse equates rebellion and stubbornness with serious sins like witchcraft, iniquity, and idolatry, highlighting the gravity of disobedience to God’s word.

The verse emphasizes that rejecting God’s word is a severe offense, likened to the practices of witchcraft and idolatry, which were strictly forbidden in the Old Testament. Witchcraft, in this context, is understood as a form of rebellion against God’s authority and a turning to other powers. Similarly, stubbornness is seen as a form of iniquity and idolatry, demonstrating a refusal to submit to God’s will and a preference for one’s own desires.

Therefore, 1 Samuel 15:23 serves as a strong warning against disobedience and rebellion, equating these actions with the gravest of sins. It underscores the importance of submitting to God’s word and following His commands.

“FUEL SUBSIDY IS GONE WAS TINUBU’S RESPONSE TO DIVINE COMMAND!

Although President Tinubu eventually admitted in far-away France that the “fuel is gone” portion in his inaugural speech of 29th May 2023, was impetuously blurted on the spot, he had refused to back pedal!

One of the reasons he adduced to buttress his action was an established fact that Nigeria was by default subsidizing Petrol to its neighbors through the smuggled product!

 However, that rash decision has back- fired because in the 26 Months of his administration the product is still being “subsidized” by Tinubu’s Administration through NNLCL, which fixes its prices, not subject to international competition due to faulty regulation and still being smuggled recklessly!

President Bola Tinubu who spoke with Nigerians during an interactive session in Paris, France in June 2023, claimed that his aides left out the decision for the removal of petrol subsidy from his inauguration speech but that he summoned the courage to say “fuel subsidy is gone”.

The negative outcome of the unthoughtful announcement precipitated long queues in filling stations across the country and the price of petrol skyrocketed.

Other negative implications of the sudden fuel subsidy removal manifested in short term decrease in economic growth but astronomical inflation on all goods and services, increase of MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY-STRICKEN Nigerians to over 50 million from 33, increase in fuel smuggling, trans-border crimes, increase in prices of petroleum products and massive loss of jobs in the informal sector!

Tinubu’s main grouse: “Nigeria was tired of feeding smugglers who were benefiting from the petrol subsidy scheme.

“Some countries were bleeding us. Courage was missing,” he said.

HE EVEN LIED AGAINST THE ALMIGHTY GOD IN HIS FLAGRANT DISOBEDIENCE!

“I became an advocate of it — remove this thing (petrol subsidy) BUT GOD GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN I DANCED AROUND, STRATEGIZE WITH MY TEAM AND WE WON THE PRESIDENCY.

“And the day I was declared winner I fell almost sick with joy.

“The few friends who visited me rejoicing, so I asked the question, you asked me to bring this trophy, this victory what do you do with it?

“I brought it. I won. We must achieve with it. We must change Nigeria with it.

“Then Wale Edun and co started debating, putting my speech together without the question on subsidy.

“I GOT TO THE PODIUM, I WAS POSSESSED WITH COURAGE AND I SAID SUBSIDY IS GONE.

“They thought it was a joke of the century until I called NNPC. We are tired of feeding smugglers and making a few people rich and subsidizing the next-door neighbor.

“I met with the President of the Benin Republic today. I said everybody is equal now, we are friends. We are conjoined twins joined by the hips.

“How we will separate each other is with this fuel subsidy. Let us see whether we will survive or not but we are going to survive you.”

CUSTOMS BOSS CONFIRMS THREAT TO NIGERIAN ECONOMY THROUGH MASSIVE PETROLEUM PRODUCTS SMUGGLING!

In February 2025, the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (CGC), Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, expressed concern over the increasing rate of petroleum product smuggling despite the removal of oil subsidy by the federal government, describing the trend as a major threat to the nation’s economy.

He said: “Since the implementation of the fuel subsidy removal by the government, we have observed a very disturbing trend in sophisticated smuggling operations across our borders.

“This is despite the expectations that fuel subsidies are expected to bridge the gap.

“There are lots of disparity that we still experience when we compare the fuel prices in our neighboring countries with what we have here.

“Petroleum prices in Nigeria now are below N1, 000. Despite the fact that this figure seems to be higher, it is significantly lower when compared to other prices in neighboring countries like Benin Republic and Cameroon which goes for around N1700 and N2, 000 respectively in our local currency.”

“Despite our efforts to curb these activities collaboratively across 17 land borders, the lucrative arbitrage economy has continued to incentivize unabated and must be tackled with the deployment of advanced technology.

NIGERIA STILL IMPORTS PETROLEUM PRODUCTS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES BECAUSE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY ACT (PIA).

Nigeria’s current import destinations of refined petroleum products, such as gasoline (PMS) and diesel (AGO), due to its limited domestic refining capacity since Tinubu’s unpopular declaration include but not limited to Belgium, Malta, Netherlands, India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Russia and Tinubu says all is well?

He may remain STUBBORN but it WILL not be for long! “He who sows the Wind shall reap the Whirlwind!”

BUHARI HAS PASSED ON AS “APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE..!” [Hebrews 9:27].

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 612 13th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

BUHARI HAS PASSED ON AS “APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE..!” [Hebrews 9:27].

[Buhari did not die in 2018 as claimed by both Nnamdi Kanu and Former Governor of Ekiti State, South West Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose!].

The immediate past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, died at about 4.30pm in a London Hospital on Sunday 13th July 2025.

He will be buried in his home town of Daura, Katsina State.

The sad story was broken in a statement on Sunday evening by his former media special assistant, Garba Shehu.

The statement read, “INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHIRRAJIUUN.”

“The family of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has announced his death this afternoon in a clinic in London. 

“May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.”

President Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023 after previously leading the country as a military head of state between 1983 and 1985, was known for his stance on anti-corruption and efforts to stabilize the economy.

Further details regarding burial arrangements are expected to be released by the family in accordance to Islamic rites.

His successor Alhaji Bola Tinubu directs all national flags to fly at half-staff for 7 days.

Born on December 17, 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, into a Fulani family, Buhari, who was the 23rd child of his father, ruled Nigeria both as a military and civilian leader.

Meanwhile, the Presidency has reacted to Buhari’s passing.

In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information and Strategy, President Tinubu has spoken with Mrs. Aishat Buhari, the former President’s widow and offered his deep condolences.

President Tinubu has also ordered Vice President Kashim Shettima to proceed to the United Kingdom to accompany President Muhammadu Buhari’s body back to Nigeria.

Former President Buhari was twice elected Nigeria’s President in 2015 and 2019.

He also served as military head of state between, 31st December 1983, to 27th August 1985.

“I KNOW THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH!”

News: Sowore Reveals Cause of Buhari’s Death.  July 13, 2025. 

Human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, during the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has revealed the cause of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.

DAILY POST reports that Buhari died on Sunday, July 13, 2023, after a prolonged battle with an undisclosed illness.

His death came two years after the end of his administration.

In a post on his Facebook page, Sowore wrote: “Buhari died of (BLOOD CANCER) Leukemia.

EX-PRESIDENT BUHARI’S DEATH DID NOT COME AS A SURPRISE TO NIGERIANS!

Most periods of his eight-year administration were punctuated with bouts of sicknesses which must be treated in London, United Kingdom all at the expense of the taxpayers funds!

The longest one which kept him in London for about Three Months was the only period that he handed over “transient power” to his deputy, Vice President Professor Yemi Osibajo SAN!

Even at that, his fanatical aides were always on hand to counter any negative news in respect of his deteriorating health!

BUT SHORTLY BEFORE BUHARI’S DEATH GARBA SHEHU ADMITTED THAT ASO ROCK ‘RAT INVASION STORY’ WAS FABRICATED TO DISTRACT NIGERIANS FROM BUHARI’S ILL-HEALTH CONVERSATION! July 12, 2025.

In his newly launched book, Garba Shehu disclosed that he deployed some propaganda to cover up the true state of his Principal‘s deteriorating and failing health.

The sordid confessions in the Book: “According To The President” which reveals how he deployed a bizarre but effective distraction tactic at a time when Nigerians were increasingly questioning whether Buhari was physically and mentally fit to govern, has set tongues wagging about how devious and clandestine surrogates could go to cover up for Unpopular and failed Governments!

Garba Shehu, has admitted that the now infamous story of rats invading former President Muhammadu Buhari’s office at the Aso Villa was a carefully crafted media spin to divert public attention from concerns about the president’s health at that time.

It would be recalled that former President, Buhari, had returned to Nigeria on August 19, 2017, after spending nearly three months in the United Kingdom receiving medical treatment.

 His prolonged absence had sparked nationwide speculation about his capability.

Upon return to the country, Buhari’s media handlers stated that he would work from home instead of his official office; an announcement that generated divergent public debates in respect of his capacity to steer the Ship of the nation.

In Chapter 10 of the book, titled “Rats, Spin and All That,” he writes about how a casual conversation about cable damage in the President’s office led to a calculated media maneuver.

“In the few hours after the president’s return, I picked up a conversation in the Chief of Staff’s office, where someone speculated that rats might have caused some damage to the unused office cables,” Shehu recounted.

“As the pressure mounted from reporters demanding an explanation for why the president wasn’t resuming work from his office, I leaned into that speculation. I told them that rats may have eaten and damaged cables and that renovations were ongoing.”

“I got calls from several journalists, including from BBC Hausa, asking what kind of rats we had in the Villa,” Shehu said.

“To get them off my back, I invoked memories of the notorious rats of the 1980s that came with the rice armada from Southeast Asia — rats that could allegedly eat anything.”

While some Nigerians laughed off the explanation, others accused the presidency of covering up the president’s true health status. Yet, Shehu says his mission was accomplished.

“At a later meeting, Minister of Information Lai Mohammed and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo asked why I had gone with that story. I told them it was intentional. I wanted the conversation to shift away from the president’s health. In my view, that spin worked,” he wrote.

However, Shehu noted that both officials disagreed with his assessment, saying the distraction had fallen flat.

The Spokesman also said that Buhari spent a good part of his time on medical tourism abroad and that led to his constant absence from office as President.

NNAMDI KANU’S CLAIM IS UNTENABLE!

Biafra Agitator, Nnamdi Kanu, claimed in 2018 that Buhari was not cloned BUT WAS “DEAD”, and replaced by a “body – double”!

“Luckily for us we have a public picture of Buhari’s finger and palm print officially issued by APC. We also have the palm and finger print of Jubril in an official photograph issued by the government of Nigeria so there is no doubt as to the authenticity of the photos we are going to be analyzing tonight. There have previously been some amateur attempt to explain these features but we are going to use a very simple technique that even a lay person can understand to prove to the world that BUHARI IS DEAD AND REPLACED BY AN IMPOSTOR A BODY DOUBLE NOT A CLONE.” 

The preceding paragraph is a VERY RIDICULOUS CLAIM BY NNAMDI KANU – still resonating on the Social Media –  in spite of Buhari’s Family official announcement that he passed on in a London Hospital  following  protracted illness!

*****If Buhari died in 2018 according to Kanu, then the Man who died in a London Hospital on Sunday 13th July 2025, was “Jibril of Sudan!”

HIS DEATH AFTER  RETIREMENT FROM OFFICE IS A PROPHECY COME TRUE! (REF. ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER VOL.11. NO.468 OF 31ST JULY 2022. http//www.zfbbc1.blogspot.com)

COALITION OF VAMPIRES AND GOVERNMENT BLOOD SUCKERS IN NIGERIA WILL PERISH TOGETHER!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 611 6th July 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

COALITION OF VAMPIRES AND GOVERNMENT BLOOD SUCKERS IN NIGERIA WILL PERISH TOGETHER!

It is officially in the public domain that all losers at the June 2022 All Progressive Congress (APC), Primaries which produced the incumbent President of Nigeria, have concluded a grand plan in collusion with Opposition Parties to unseat him at the conclusion of a first term in 2027!

The roll call at the unveiling which took place in Abuja on Wednesday 2nd July 2025, include but not limited to the following predators and vampires: former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi; Labor Party’s 2023 Presidential candidate, Peter Obi; former Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; former Senate President, David Mark; and former Governors Liyel Imoke, Nasir El-rufai, former Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji Aminu Wali and Chief Tom Ikimi; former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Maina Waziri and others.

Not bothered about proffering meaningful solution to the unceasing flow of innocent blood of over 10,000 Citizens across the nation in the past 25 months of the incumbent President through failure of SECURITY ARCHITECTURE (like THE GROUP OF PATRIOTS who positively engaged Tinubu in August 2024), the only selfish priority of these BLOOD SUCKERS was how to exchange batons and shed more blood!

As at the time of this publication (6th July 2025), some Governors of the  affected States of incessant blood shedding across Nigeria WERE CLICKING GLASSES AND DINING WITH ALHAJI TINUBU IN FAR-AWAY COUNTRY OF BRAZIL which hosted the 17TH SUMMIT OF BRICS ECONOMIC BLOC to which Nigeria is only an OBSERVER! 

In the Presidential entourage which departed Nigeria Saturday 28th June 2025 en-route the Island of Saint Lucia, were Governors of Zamfara, Benue and Delta States where hundreds of innocent people were massacred in cold blood!

COALITION MEMBERS SERVED DURING MILITARY ILLEGAL ADMINISTRATION OF 30 YEARS!

These desperados who served alongside the military eventually kick- started the nascent Democracy on 29th May 1999, and further subjected the masses to deprivation of socio-economic dividends for selfish acquisition of illicit monies to satiate their very corrupt lifestyles!

Now that they have African Democratic Congress (ADC), as the platform which took them almost two years to establish, how will this association of strange bed fellows sought out the various inordinate ambitions of an array of presidential aspirants who are only in the bloc for the coveted ticket. 

Alhaji Atiku, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Aminu Tambuwal are desperately interested in flying the new coalition flag!

Their insatiable thirst for blood money blinded them from realizing that it was time to discard the VERY EXPENSIVE AND SQUADERMANIA PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT FOR A PEOPLE’S FRIENDLY COST-EFFECTIVE AND COST-SAVING ONE-HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM – in which GRASSROOT participation would be accommodated!

It is worthy to note that none of the names in the above list had SPENT LESS THAN (25 YEARS), QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS – yet they still keep coming back to frustrate NEW GENERATION OF NIGERIAN YOUTHS from venturing into leadership positions!

#END SARS-END POLICE BRUTALITY PROTESTS-2020 AND #END BAD GOVERNANCE YOUTH PROTESTERS – 2023!

Both of the above protests which took place during the past APC Administrations of TEN YEARS from 2015-2023, were handled with MILITARY BRUTALITY BY MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND BOLA TINUBU!

Following the last brutality and massacre of youth protesters by BOLA TINUBU in August 2024, some GENUINELY CONCERNED ELDERS LED BY RESPECTED STATESMAN CHIEF EMEKA ANYANOKU, FORMER TWO-TERM SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS – led a powerful delegation with a time table to the incumbent President for him to ACTUALIZE A ONE CHAMBER OF PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN NINE CALENDAR (9) MONTHS WHICH TERMINATED MAY 2025!

Alhaji Tinubu diplomatically said he was focused on resuscitating the Economy but would visit their requests thereafter! It was just another political LIE on his lips!

But because Tinubu coveted only after the Title and NOT the INTRICATE AND CEREBRAL demands of the exalted office of President, he has been a TOTAL FAILURE IN 25 MONTHS ON THE HOT SEAT!

Various current inflation figures  report show that Nigeria’s urban inflation rate stood at 23.14% year-on-year in May 2025, representing a 13.20 percentage point decline from the 36.34% recorded in May 2024; BUT contrary to Market realities – peppers, tomatoes, onions, yams, potatoes, rice, gari, fish, meat etc, prices have all sky-rocketed to over 400-450% without abating!

And the reason is obvious because the Forex Rate which determines all prices of goods and services in the country remains at between N1,700-N2,000 naira to ONE US dollar – in spite of the officially designated parallel market arrangement!

Tinubu has DOLLARIZED the Nigerian economy to the disadvantage of the POOR and has suffocated the Treasury with avalanche of foreign loans that would be difficult to repay by posterity!

REGISTRATION OF NEW PARTY - ALL DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (ADA), AS “BUFFER”, IF ADC DID NOT WORK OUT!

Following the Wednesday’s 2nd July 2025 unveiling of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as the platform of choice for the group of PREDATORS, these gamblers are still planning to form a brand new party as a “buffer”!

According to Rotimi Amaechi, in a television interview, two remaining requirements by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for the formation of a new Party, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), had been acquired for  submission to complete the process.

And, whereas, the contentious issue of who would carry the COALITION PRESIDENTIAL FLAG to confront Tinubu remains an albatross considering the unbridled and insatiable ambition of all the old foxes who must hold on to EPHEMERAL POWER until death’s inevitable appointment!

However, political analysts have recalled that in the build-up to the formation of the APC in 2014, many of the aspirants were willing to make sacrifices by subduing their ambitions in case they failed to get the party’s nomination.

WILL THESE GREEDY BUNCH OF DO-OR-DIE GROUP YIELD GROUND FOR ONE ANOTHER?

The major hurdle for the Coalition to cross will be how to convince an obsessed ATIKU ABUBAKAR to accept the results of a primary election when conducted to choose their flag bearer which Amaechi and Tambuwal also ambitiously covet!

In the year 2005, ADC was registered as a political party and has always participated in elections. The party surprised political pundits when in the 2019 elections, it came FOURTH, poling 97, 874 votes when it fielded former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Obadiah Mailafia!

PARTY REGISTRATION OF THE BUFFER PARTY- ADA, OBEDIENTS AND 108 OTHER APPLICATIONS UNDER REVIEW BY INEC.

 

Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has confirmed receipt of 110 applications from associations seeking registration as political parties, stating that they are being processed in line with legal procedures and the commission’s regulations and guidelines.

The All Democratic Alliance (ADA)—promoted by a coalition of opposition leaders seeking to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 is listed as number 109. 

However, INEC is reported to be holding onto the application of 104 groups and associations seeking to be registered as political parties.

According to media reports, the104 applications were filed after the 2023 elections to enable more groups take part in future electoral activities as political parties.

The option of ADA, according to sources in the coalition seems safer as there are suspicions that the ruling party may have infiltrated most of the existing parties and could use them to frustrate the bid by the coalition to forge an alliance.

THE DIVERSIONARY ALL PROGRESSIVES PARTY STRATEGY AGAINST THE OPPOSITION’S GANG-UP IS THE ON-GOING UMPTEENTH ZONAL PUBLIC HEARING ON “CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS” ACROSS THE SIX GEO- POLITICAL ZONES TO RE-ASSURE THE PUBLIC OF ITS GOOD GOVERNANCE POSTURE!

Divine Verdict!

Thus saith The GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH: “You Opposition Coalition Parties and Incumbent Government of Tinubu have violated My Laws and Commandments – by murdering My People Who are called by My Name and still have the audacity to rage and blaspheme against Me and My Son!

“You have imagined and plotted vain things and encouraged yourselves that you could further subject My Nigerian Children to incessant bloodshed!

“From henceforth ALL OF YOU WILL PERISH WITH YOUR GENERATIONS!

“My Law Has Not Changed – the soul that sinneth shall die!” (Ezekiel 18:4, 20).

A “JUNE 12 ACTIVIST” NOW RULES WITH MILITARY DECREES!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 610 29th June 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

A “JUNE 12 ACTIVIST” NOW RULES WITH MILITARY DECREES!

‘Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”!

If President Bola Tinubu could arbitrarily sack the constitutionally-elected Governor of Rivers State from office and replace him with a Military Administrator before informing the National Assembly, he could also bulldoze National Tax Reform Bills into law with impunity!

He boasted during his first Presidential Media Chart on 23rd December 2024, that his sponsored Four Tax Reform Bills before the rubber stamp National Assembly was “a done deal”!

And in spite of all opposition, most especially from Northern Nigeria, he autocratically signed the controversial bills into law on Thursday 26th June 2025, and dared any one to challenge his authority!

AUTOCRACY is a system of government by one person with absolute power. It is absolutism under the guise of democracy ie, absolute power, dictatorship or despotism!

A state or society governed by one person with absolute power domineering rule or control and who shifts between autocracy and “consultation”, is aberration!

Nigeria’s Military Constitution chose the Presidential System to continue forceful autocracy on the people through its retired Generals who succeed in 16 (sixteen years), to still force martial laws on the Citizens instead of democratic rule of law!

And the perpetuation of Presidency solidified the grand plan for a Despot to surround himself with some ‘birds of a feather’ and entrench an Oligarchy!

IS NIGERIA UNDER THE SIEGE OF DICTATORIAL GOVERNANCE?

Corrupt politicians believe that the incumbent President is wise, smart and very intelligent.

TINUBU says he did not promise “El Dorado”, his wife REMI TINUBU says, “My husband is not a magician, while his son, SEYI TINUBU asserts that his father is the “greatest president in Nigeria’s history!”

He made the remark in a video that went viral on Monday, 17th March 2025, while addressing a gathering of youths in Adamawa State and further praised his father’s leadership style claiming he had prioritized youth empowerment and economic growth.

BUT some netizens believe otherwise: that the current dispensation is very corrupt, dictatorial and self -serving and has wooed weak opposition Parties to join the bandwagon as it strategizes for a second term bid!

THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS THAT NIGERIA IS IN A DIRE STRAIT UNDER “A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING!”

[Please find below a litany of President Bola Tinubu’s avowed autocratic aberrations].

1. Sudden and sporadic affliction of aggravated hardships and pains on the citizenry through a neo-colonialist agenda of austerity measures orchestrated by World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), during his investiture speech:

a. To remove fuel subsidy and automatically skyrocket prices of all petroleum products to perpetrate his inordinate presidential authority in an already flagging and ailing economy bedeviled with outrageous/spiraling Debt deficits!

b. Merger of the foreign exchange and official parallel markets – which has permanently devalued the Naira from N500 to N1,650 for $1dollar consistently in 25 months!

c Floating  of the official very weak Naira for international competiveness in a volatile economy bereft of massive industrialization and manufacturing, when there were no palliatives on ground to cushion spiral inflationary effects of the sudden and unthoughtful anti-socio-economic policies!

2. In 25 months of his policies somersault, May 2023-June 2025, all outrageous increases in fuel, food, goods and services have not abated. 

a. All petroleum products, Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or Petrol, Diesel, Lubricants have remained on the high side: N1,000 Naira and above!

b. Fairly-used cars/small buses tyres, each cost N30,000 Naira and above.

c. Commercial transportation: urban, inter/intra States journeys are at the whims and caprices of the Transporters in spite of the pseudo “availability” of propaganda buses running on Condensed Natural Gas (CNG)! No commercial driver charges less than N1,000 Naira for township rides.

d. The cheapest one hour and 45 minutes (two-way) Air travel tickets within Nigeria attracts not less than N220-250,000 Naira while international journeys cost from between N1.5million and above depending on overseas destination.

e. All farm produce have been dollarized and inflation figures range between 400-500% while official fiscal inflation hovers between 34.5-36%, all because of the inordinate ambition of one man who is determined to subject the Citizens to unbridled very expensive Presidential system of governance in a Developing Nation such as Nigeria!

3. Coercing States and Local Government Areas (LGAs), to kowtow to his obsession with TAXATION to prove that his controversial Chicago State University Certificate in Accounting, is not a FORGERY!

And whereas, governments at both Federal and State levels are constitutionally empowered under Legislative Powers of the Second Schedule – Parts I & II – Exclusive/Concurrent Lists to tax various items ranging from commodities to services as deemed fit!

Apart from 68 “controversial” Items on the Exclusive List under the purview of the Federal Government, Sections A-L in Part II are exercisable by both Parties.

Much as WE did not initially object to the mooted idea of Presidential Policy on Tax Reforms but only advised against any stampede, it is now very clear that Alhaji Tinubu MUST boost his EGO to prove that the solution to 25 Months of socio-economic debacle is through his own brand of centralized TAXATION!

4. With autocratic Presidential powers Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has also flouted due process in the awards of several major contracts running into billions of dollars! 

Two recent Contracts include the 700-kilometer Lagos-Calabar Coastal Super Highway, costing USD$13 billion dollars or NGN15 trillion naira AND The Mechanized Farming Project also awarded to his SCHOOL MATE AND NEIGHBOR at Chicago State University!

The total cost of the Republic of the Belarus assisted project during which 2,000 high quality Tractors, 10 Combine Harvesters, 12 Mobile  Workshops, 9,000 Implements and another 9,000 spare parts kits were exhibited, is still shrouded in secrecy!

Alhaji declared “state of emergency” on FOOD SECURITY since 13th July 2023 and 25 months later EXTREME FOOD INFLATION is the order of the day in the vast arable country!

WHO IS FOOLING WHO? No house built on the Sand would withstand a Storm! “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do”? (Psalm 11:3).

Except Mr. Alhaji Tinubu reverses his inaugural blunder, he would continue to beat about the bush and would become IRRELEVANT!

TO ALHAJI TINUBU, TAXATION OF THE ALREADY BLEEDING MASSES IS THE SOLUTION TO HIS MIS-ADVENTURE IN GOVERNMENT!

It is evident that TAXATION was the major subject which Alhaji Tinubu studied at the Chicago State University!

Going down the memory lane – way back to his first political appointment as Lagos State Governor from 1999-2007, his major pre-occupation was to mercilessly Tax the Poor Citizens!

Following Alhaji Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 Presidential Election, aggrieved Opposition Parties Contestants filed Appeals at the Election Tribunal to challenge the results.

In the process of proceedings they claimed that Tinubu was convicted in the United States for drug offenses in 1993, forfeited the sum of USD$460,000 dollars to the City of Illinois and was therefore unfit to govern Nigeria as President!

However, in April 2023, when the 31-year-old incident was resurrected,  Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) told the Presidential Election Tribunal that their candidate and president-elect at the time, was of no interest to the US government as the 1993 CIVIL FORFEITURE CASE was not against him but against the money they said was found in 10 bank accounts opened in his name.

The Presidential Tribunal’s verdict was that the said forfeiture was not an INDICTMENT on Tinubu who claimed he was only a Treasurer to his Family Accounts.

The purpose of this very explicit treatise is to establish that Alhaji Bola Ahmed TINUBU is endowed with A PENCHANT FOR FIGURES – AS A TREASURER OR ACCOUNTANT!

IN SPITE OF BEING THE GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE FROM 1999-2007, TINUBU HAD A FIRM GRIP ON “ALPHA BETA” HIS TAX COLLECTING COMPANY WHICH THEN WORKED BY PROXY FOR HIS ADMINISTRATION AND NOW, ON PERMANENT CONTRACT WITH HIS SUCCESSORS TILL DATE!

QUESTION PUT TO MR. TAIWO OLOYEDE, CHAIRMAN OF THE PRESIDENTIAL POLICY ON TAX REFORMS DURING A VILLAGE SQUARE MEETING ORGANIZED BY CHANNELS TELEVISION IN DECEMBER 2024.

“Will Alpha Beta, Lagos State’s official Tax Collection Firm, belonging to Alhaji Bola Tinubu, not extend its tentacles to the Federal Government of Nigeria‘s Domain in respect of the Four controversial Presidential Tax Bills still being debated in public domain?”

ANSWER: “No! The Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), will be sole agents!”

ONLY A DICTATOR WILL SIGN CONTROVERSIAL BILLS INTO LAW AND BE DAMNED!

President Tinubu Signs Controversial Tax Reform Bills Into Law On June 26, 2025.

The bills — Nigeria Tax Bill, Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill — were secretly passed by the National Assembly without further  consultations with various interest groups and stakeholders. 

CAN SOMETHING BE PLACED ON NOTHING? EVERY LIE HAS A TERMINAL DATE!

[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
