TINUBU'S STUBBORNNESS TO RETAIN INTERIOR MINISTER IS ASSET.

Not everything about President Bola Tinubu is negative after all!

(1) Although he was advised by Professor Itse Sagay, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) to his predecessor in office in 2023 to suspend removal of petrol subsidy to no avail and Citizens still suffer the consequences!

(2) And also early 2024, he was advised to sack some delinquent Cabinet Ministers - he suspended some and retained one very controversial persona from the private sector and his stubbornness paid off!

(3)  In spite of the hue, cry and public outrage, he stood his ground and as at now, this character is the shining star in Tinubu's Administration! His innocence was proven beyond reasonable doubt!

(4) It is no longer in contention that effective security architecture is the backbone to socio-economic progress which the Ministry of Interior must play a major role!

We affirm that Hon Tunji-Ojo, is a ministerial round peg in a round hole in view of his sound intelligence and understanding of the dynamics of and technology in advancing effective security! Although an allegation was made against him that his Private Company partook in a scandalous contract at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and collected a whooping sum of NGN438.1million naira which was classified as abuse of office, he was investigated but not sacked as demanded from many quarters!

An Opposition Party Chieftain claimed he had gathered evidence that a company owned by Minister Tunji Ojo, New Planet Project Limited, was paid a total of N438.1 million by the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation under the leadership of Dr. Betta Edu, for consultancy services. This payment was part of the N3 billion awarded to several consultants for the National Social Register contract, which was intended for cash transfers and social investment programs.

He was cleared through confirmation that the Minister formally resigned ownership of the said Company in 2019 when he won election into the House of Representatives .

A critical assessment of the controversy which surrounded accusations of corruption against him early 2024, could have derailed his determination to make a difference!

BUT he remained focused with his management team to pursue:

1) FAST ELECTRONIC PASSPORT TO FRUITION;

2)  E-GATES - (a one-stop security electronic check of inward air travelers at the Lagos and Abuja International Airports.

3) Establishment of Social Security and Insurance to Nigerian Citizens which according to him was dear to the heart of the President!

MEDIA REPORTS ON SOME OF THE POSITIVE ACTIVITIES IN THE INTERIOR MINISTRY:

SOCIAL SECURITY OF NIGERIANS IS DEAR TO PRESIDENT TINUBU- DR. TUNJI-OJO

The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has reiterated the Federal Government's dedication to providing social security and insurance to Nigerian citizens.

He said social security is very important and it is at the heart of the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's policy trust.

The Minister who made the remarks while receiving the Managing Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr. Faleye Oluwaseun Mayomi in the Minister's Office in Abuja, emphasized that social security is a critical aspect of governance, serving as a bridge between the vulnerable and the strong.

The Minister commended the Management of the NSITF for its efforts in promoting social insurance and providing compensation to employees.

He acknowledged that the mandate of NSITF is wide-ranging and encouraged the agency to continue its good work. Dr. Tunji-Ojo, urged NSITF to be creative and innovative in its approach, emphasizing the need to win the confidence of the people.

He also encouraged the NSITF to explore innovative strategies to incorporate the non-formal sector workers to the formal framework taking cue from the successful model of the National Pension Commission

Reaffirming the government's commitment to social security and insurance, the Minister stressed the importance of protecting Nigerian citizens.

As the government continues to work towards creating a more equitable society, NSITF's role in providing compensation and support to employees will remain crucial.

Earlier in his address, the Managing Director of the National Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Mr.Faleye Oluwaseun Mayomi, who led a delegation to the Ministry of Interior advocated for enhanced compliance with the Employees Compensation Scheme.

He said the scheme, as mandated by law, provides compensation to employees who suffer work-related accidents or injuries.

The Managing Director emphasized the importance of advocating for the benefits of the social safety net for Nigerian workers, citing the strategic importance of the Ministry of Interior and its agencies.

He added "NSITF is responsible for managing and paying compensation and claims related to employee work-related accidents, including death benefits and medical refunds". The Managing Director noted that the visit was aimed at addressing compliance barriers between the NSITF and relevant agencies, as well as driving strategic initiatives that benefit employees and the workforce.

Mr Mayomi said that the NSITF looks forward to collaborating with the Ministry and its agencies to promote the benefits of the Employees Compensation Scheme and enhance compliance. (Press Release.)

MINISTER OF INTERIOR INSPECTS E-VERIFICATION GATES FOR ENHANCED SECURITY, TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

As part of a comprehensive strategy to bolster internal security and streamline the arrival experience for Nigerians entering the country, the Minister of Interior, Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on Monday 19th February 2024, led a delegation from the Ministry to inspect the ongoing installation of E-verification gates at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.

These state-of-the-art E-verification gates are a major component of the E-Immigration project, aimed at modernizing and optimising immigration processes across Nigeria's airports.

Notably, four out of the planned 10 gates have already been installed at the Abuja airport. It is expected that the remaining six gates will be operational before the end of the month.

Expressing satisfaction with the progress made thus far, Dr. Tunji-Ojo emphasized the crucial role of these E-verification gates in reducing waiting times for arriving passengers.

“With an impressive clearance time of just 30 seconds per individual, the gates are set to establish a new standard for efficiency in airport processing, comparable to global benchmarks,” the Minister said.

He further stressed the transformative impact of this investment, noting that it will significantly enhance national security by providing an additional layer of scrutiny for inbound travelers.

“Through advanced biometric scanning and automated flagging systems, the gates will swiftly identify individuals of interest or those on watchlists, bolstering the efforts of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) to safeguard the nation's borders,” he said.

During the inspection, Dr. Tunji-Ojo also assessed the progress of construction and installation work at the Command-and-Control Centre and border control data center, both housed within the NIS headquarters.

He commended the NIS for exceeding 70 per cent completion on these critical infrastructure projects, affirming the agency's commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology for operational efficiency and security enhancement.

The project aims to deliver a total of 40 E-verification gates across multiple airports by the end of the first quarter. These installations will include 10 gates in Abuja, 17 in Lagos, five in Kano, and four each in Enugu and Port-Harcourt.

With these transformative initiatives, Nigeria is poised to enhance border security, streamline immigration processes, and provide travelers with a safer, more efficient travel experience.

“Nigerians will soon be able to sleep with their two eyes closed, knowing fully well that their borders are well protected, and the Nigerian state is secured, Dr.Tunji-Ojo assured. (Press Release)

The Minister disclosed in a recent Television Interview that : NO KOBO WAS INVESTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - IT WAS A PURELY PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE!

Maybe Tinubu would re-gig his cabinet again and remove all the Lagos analogue aides and substitute them for ICT EGG HEADS AND CEREBRALS TO SUPPORT HIM PREPARE MODALITIES FOR THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM AS DEMANDED BY THE CITIZENS AND THE PATRIOTS!

It's not too late to pursue the right tracks!

ALPHA BETA WILL NOT COLLECT THE 2024 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL TAXES!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 13. NO 581. 8th December 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

ALPHA BETA WILL NOT COLLECT THE 2024 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL TAXES!

 

Alpha Beta Consulting will not be contracted to collect taxes on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria when the 2024 REFORM BILL is finally approved and comes into operation! The Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), will be sole agents!

This clarification was made by Mr.Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Policy on Tax Reforms, who represented the Federal Government at a VILLAGE SQUARE MEETING organized by CHANNELS TELEVISION to deliberate on the FOUR Executive Bills before the National Assembly for debate on the unification of multiple taxes that have bedeviled Nigeria's economy for decades!

 

THIS PRIVATE COMPANY, BELIEVED TO BE OWNED BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, was the sole collector of all State Taxes throughout his eight-year tenure as Lagos State Governor and until this present time - 16 years after his departure on agreed payment of commission by consecutive Lagos State Governments!

AND PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU HAD FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DENY SOLE OWNERSHIP OF ALPHA BETA CONSULTING WHEN CONFRONTED BY PDP CHIEFTAIN -BODE GEORGE BEFORE THE 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!

 

Please read the following story by the PUNCH NEWSPAPER of court deposition by a former Managing Director of the firm who was short-changed!

 

N20BN: TINUBU - ALPHA BETA EX-MD DISCUSS OUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENT.

19th January 2022. By Eniola Akinkuotu

 

A former Managing Director of Alpha Beta Consulting, Dapo Apara, the All Progressives Congress leader, Bola Tinubu; and the current Managing Director of the company, Akin Doherty, have begun discussions on a possible out-of-court settlement following allegations that Tinubu ordered the transfer of over N20bn from Alpha Beta to some private business accounts.

The lawyer to the plaintiff, Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), said this before the High Court of Lagos State sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square on Tuesday.

During the proceedings, Adegboruwa informed the court that the order made on November 2, 2021, for substituted service of all court processes on Tinubu had been complied with by the court bailiff.

Adegboruwa stated that the bailiff served Tinubu on November 24, 2021, at his No. 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi, address through the courier service of DHL, adding that an affidavit of service had been filed by the bailiff to confirm this position.

The senior advocate then urged the court to grant more time for the parties to consolidate on their settlement talks........Justice Aishat Opesanwo subsequently adjourned the case till March 24, 2022.

 

In the suit filed by Adegboruwa on behalf of Apara, the former MD said Tinubu controls Alpha Beta, a tax consulting firm that has exclusive rights to monitor and generate revenue on behalf of the Lagos State Government.

Apara, who had in 2018 written a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission accusing Alpha Beta of N100bn tax fraud, asked the court to compel the firm to pay him his entitlements even as he alleged that Tinubu was the one that got him removed from his position for investigating the firm’s finances

 

IN THE ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER PUBLICATION -VOLUME 8 NO 321 OF 6TH, OCTOBER 2019 - TITLED "TAX, TAX AND MORE TAXES: MUST GOVERNMENT RIDE  A WILLING HORSE TO DEATH?"  WE HAD CRITICIZED THE PUNITIVE MULTIPLE TAX SYSTEM! BUT ALL FELL TO  DEAF EARS!

 

SUMMARY OF THE 2024 TAX REFORM BILLS FORWARDED TO THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BY MR. PRESIDENT AND WHICH HAS PASSED THROUGH SECOND READING IN THE SENATE!

 

The quadruple Tax Reform Bills comprise the Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2024; Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, 2024; Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, 2024; and Nigeria Tax Bill, 2024.

Although the Bills are quite instructive to grow an ailing and mismanaged economy as Nigeria 's, it NOT EXPEDIENT TO RUSH  THEM INTO LAW when CITIZENS  find it difficult to recover from previous policy somersaults of the ,18 months of the CHICAGO CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANT! Various reports of the National Bureau of Statistics (the only credible agency of government) repeatedly highlighted the Citizens' pulse in the consistent inflation of goods and services at 33.8%, the abnormal and unprecedented foreign exchange rate of NGN1, 700 naira to USD1dollar.due to dual exchange merger and Currency Floating of an unproductive and abysmal economy!

Also prominent was the multi-dimensional poverty index, tax revenue to gross domestic product, GDP, which dropped to 9.4% in 2023, and the debt-revenue ratio at  97%!

 

IMPORTANT POINTS WORTHY OF NOTE IN THE NIGERIA TAX BILLS 2024.

 

* Section 24(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)&(f) of the  Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are very explicit on the Citizens 'Duties to pay appropriate TAXES and also backs government to collect same as at when due; but have the later discharged IT'S FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FAITHFULLY AND JUDICIOUSLY IN THE PAST? NO!

* However, the current bills according to Anchor Man Mr.Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Policy on Fiscal and Tax Reforms.

will address all issues in respect of MULTIPLE TAXATION in favor of the Citizens - especially the DISTRIBUTION FORMULA ADOPTED IN THE CONTROVERSIAL VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT), which the Northern States and their Governors have kicked against, because they believe that the South was more favored!

 

THE VAT DISTRIBUTION FORMULA.

 

Due to co-ordinated resistance to the new Bills, the President on 3rd October 2024   requested the National Assembly to consider and pass the tax reform bills in spite of the protests!

In the proposed tax bills, VAT revenue-sharing formula suggested is 10 percent to the federal government, 55 percent to the state, and 35 percent to the local governments.

However, the current VAT revenue-sharing formula shows that the federal government takes 15 percent, states get 50 percent and 35 percent goes to the local governments.

 

BUT THE ‘CONSTITUTION GRANTS RMAFC SOLE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE VAT FORMULA’

 

* Currently, the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system which empowers employers to deduct specified taxes at source of payment and remit same to government coffers WILL NOW GIVE WAY to the following order in the new arrangement in the new tax reform bills!

 

BUT FOR THE RECORDS - THE CURRENT PAYE SYSTEM IS AS FOLLOWS:

 

1. Tax exempt for annual salary earners of LESS THAN N300, 000 naira.

2. Those who earn N300, 000 pay tax of N21, 000 naira which amounts to 7% of their take home pay.

3. Salary earners within the range of N300, 000 to N600, 000, pay a total N54, 000 naira which amount to 18% deduction.

5. Incomes within N600, 000 and N1.1 million, pay a total of N129, 000 naira.

6. Workers who earn between N1.1 million naira and N2.7 million naira are paying a total of N465, 000.

7. Those in category of more than N3.2 million annually pay N465,000 naira on the N3.2 million naira and 24% of any amount above it.

 

 TAXES OF THE NEW ORDER - IF IT GOES THROUGH WILL BE AS FOLLOWS.

 

1. Annual salary of N800, 000 naira is tax exempt.

2. Earnings between N800, 000 and N3 million naira will attract 15% tax deduction on only N2.2 million.

3. Salary earners of between N12 - 25 million naira will pay a total tax of N4, 680,000 naira.

 

4. Workers who earn between N25 - 50 million naira annually will pay N10, 430,000 naira as tax deductions.

5. Those who earn above N50 million will pay the same tax on N50 million as stated in No.4 and 25% on the excess.

 

COMMENTS:

 

THE TIMING OF THE TAX REFORM BILL 2024 JUST AS PREVIOUS DINUBA’S SPONTANEOUS - REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY, ETC. IS VERY UNREASONABLE!

The Panacea to the current economic crisis is for President Tinubu to REVERSE himself -jettison WORLD BANK AND IMF'S UNWORKABLE AUSTERITY MEASURES THAT HAVE COMPOUNDED ALL WORKABLE ECONOMIC INDICES!

Unicameral Parliamentary System will ERASE all past errors, BLOCK all wastages and open DOORS OF PROSPERITY FOR THE DOWNTRODDEN CITIZENS!

There is still hope for Redemption!

WHO WILL RESURRECT AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA?

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 13. NO 580. 1st December 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

WHO WILL RESURRECT AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA?

Since Former President Jonathan’s loss to Buhari in 2015, the very vibrant Agriculture Sector collapsed into a cess pool of endemic CORRUPTION!

And whereas there was a cerebral Minister of Agriculture now two - term President of the African Development Bank Group whose midas touch turned the sector into a Gold Mine for Nigerian Farmers!

BRIEF RESUME OF THE WONDER MINISTER!

Dr Akinwumi A. Adesina is the 8th elected President of the African Development Bank Group. He is a globally renowned development economist and agricultural development expert, with more than 30 years of international experience.

A firm believer in private sector-led growth, Dr. Adesina radically changed the perception of agriculture in Nigeria from that of subsistence to a viable business that successfully attracted $5.6 billion in private sector investments. Prior to his appointment as Minister of Agriculture, Dr Adesina was the Vice President (Policy and Partnerships) of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).

A bold reformer, as Minister of Agriculture in Nigeria from 2011 to 2015 Dr Adesina turned the agriculture sector of Nigeria around within four years. Under his tenure, Nigeria ended 40 years of corruption in the fertilizer sector by developing and implementing an innovative electronic wallet system, which directly provides farmers with subsidized farm inputs at scale using their mobile phones. Within the first four years of its launch, this electronic wallet system reached 15 million farmers, dramatically transforming their lives.

FARMERS ANCHOR BORROWER PROGRAMME UNDER EMEFIELE - THE SUSPENDED CBN GOVERNOR SEEMED GOOD ON PAPER BUT………?

 Anchor Borrowers' Programme (ABP) is a program in Nigeria that connects smallholder farmers with companies that process and produce agricultural commodities. The program's goal is to increase agricultural production, stabilize the supply of inputs to agro-processors, and address the country's food balance of payments.

THE PROCEDURE.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lends money to anchor companies at a one digit 9% annual interest rate. The anchor companies then distribute the loans to smallholder farmers.

The farmers use the loans to purchase farm inputs, such as fertilizer, water pumps, seedlings, and farm equipment. The farmers use the inputs to produce agricultural commodities.

When the crops are harvested, the farmers sell them to the anchor companies.

The anchor companies pay the farmers for their produce.

BENEFITS?

It is believed that the program can help smallholder farmers increase their agricultural production.

Can help stabilize the supply of inputs to agro-processors and address Nigeria's negative food balance of payments.

LIE, LIE, LIE!, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!

When juxtaposed with Dr.Adesina's DIRECT INTERVENTION which made Millionaires of Farmers and a very robust economic gains for the country in few years of implementation in spite of national insecurity which still persists to date, the ABP was a Scam designed to benefit the middle interloper Anchor Companies! It failed from the onset and Mr Emefiele is having his day in the Court!!

WE DON'T WANT TO BE REMINDED........

* THAT the discovery of Crude Oil in 1968 followed by exploration and exploitation in Nigeria's Delta Region precipitated the collapse and eventual death of the boisterous agro-economy of the North which served as the national Food Basket through Groundnuts, Rice, Beans, Millets PYRAMIDS!

* THAT for 30 agonizing years of military aberration, all efforts to diversify from the mono-economy Crude Oil to Agriculture failed to yield positive results and consecutive Ministeries of Agriculture only existed as conduit pipes of massive institutional CORRUPTION!

* THAT in spite of the vast arable lands bequeathed by nature to all 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), consecutive Nigerian Governments indulged in importation of all Cash Crops that could be cultivated in excess for export and the much-needed foreign exchange earrings!

DOES A MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE EXIST?

* According to the GRAPEVINE Mr. Renewed Hope has appointed a recycled politician Ex-Senator Abubakar Kyari to occupy the position of Minister of Agriculture and to ensure FOOD SUFFICIENCY IN FOUR YEARS through an immediate, medium and long-term plan to fix the country’s food crisis and revamp the agricultural sector in Africa’s biggest economy!

Prominent highlight of his appointment was change of nomenclature from Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS) to fall in line with the United Nations’ warning of global food shortages due to global warming and climate change effects!

Should the STRATEGIC Agriculture Portfolio be reduced to a political patronage appointment? Does agriculture not require any form of professionalism!?

THE ROT IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OVER THE DECADES!

Below are excerpts from various media reports:

* CORRUPTION: ICPC seizes N16bn from Ministry of Agriculture according to

ICPC Chairman Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye - Premium Times 28th September, 2020

1. The Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) recovered N16 billion from the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in 2020! The money was moved under suspicious circumstances below the threshold that would put it within the purview of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

He said that the ministry moved the money into an offline account in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) where utilization would be outside the monitoring purview of Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS)

According to Owasanye, some of the recovered funds were paid into personal accounts, while others were used for non-official purposes.

Owasanye added that the commission discovered that payments were made to agriculture contractors for no job done or overpayment for jobs done and that some were appropriated to projects owned by private farms of senior civil servants of the ministry.

“One individual from the ministry now deceased, was said to have appropriated over N2.5b to himself and cronies,” he further disclosed!

2. Another Premium Times Report of November 26, 2020 exposed how the Agriculture Ministry made N3.08BN suspicious payments to personal accounts.

According to the news paper, the ministry used duplicated “vague payments” to share N3.08 billions to officials in what was a clear breach of the country's financial regulation.

In a series of disbursements between September and December 2020, a total of N3.08 billion was paid into the private accounts of 42 staffers of the ministry!

The payments were reported by the Open Treasury Portal (OTP), the federal government’s transparency portal launched in 2019 to ensure fiscal discipline among MDAs.

ALL OF THE ABOVE FESTERED WHEN EX-PRESIDENT BUHARI TOOK OVER FROM HIS PREDECESSOR GOODLUCK JONATHAN!

THERE CAN BE NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW FOR MR. PRESIDENT TINUBU TO STOP GLOBAL JUNKETING FOR LOANS; INTROSPECT, STOP THE CORRUPTION AND "MINE AGRICULTURE" FOR SURPLUS FOREX!

WITH ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED BEFORE 29TH MAY 2025 ACCORDING TO THE CITIZENS’ DEMAND, THE RESULTS WILL BE STUNNING AND INTIMIDATING!

"A stitch in time saves nine".

IT IS "TREASONABLE" FOR MR. PRESIDENT TO HIDE SUBSIDY SAVINGS - YES OR NO?

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 13. NO 579. 24th November 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

IT IS "TREASONABLE" FOR MR. PRESIDENT TO HIDE SUBSIDY SAVINGS - YES OR NO?

Purposeful world leaders regularly sought for external financial loans to back up Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for strategic capital project infrastructures and human capacity development and it has been proven that such wise investments had yielded multiple dividends within very short periods to offset shortfalls!

But in Nigeria loans are acquired to fulfill CONCURRENT EXPENDITURE ie, salaries /allowances of government officials in the THREE TIERS and for "ARRANGEE" DUBIOUS CONTRACTS!

And in spite of the unworkable attempts by the President's ANALOGUE ECONOMIC TEAM to alleviate massive sufferings of Nigerians in 18 months the ANCHOR MAN INTENSIFIED OVERSEAS TRIPS TO BORROW MORE MONEY!

IN CELEBRATION OF HIS 30TH FOREIGN TRIP IN OFFICE, the President took his wife along with privileged politicians and civil servants to Brazil to attend the G 20 SUMMIT of which Nigeria was not a member and as usual canvassed for FOREIGN AIDS FOR NIGERIA AND AFRICA!

It took the Nigerian Senate only 48 hours to approve the ₦1.77 trillion ($2.2b) loan request of President Bola Tinubu after a voice vote in favor of the request on Tuesday 19th November 2024 plenary

presided over by Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin because of anxiety for illicit gains through BUDGET PADDING!

AND WHEREAS PRESIDENT TINUBU WAS YET TO PRESENT THE 2025 ANNUAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION!

The N1.77 trillion was part of a fresh external borrowing plan to partially finance the N9.7 trillion BUDGET DEFICIT FOR THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR following recommendations from the Committee on Local and Foreign Debts!

President Tinubu had written to the National Assembly, seeking approval of a fresh N1.767 trillion, the equivalent of $2.209 billion as a new external borrowing plan in the 2024 Appropriation Act in order to ease the amount spent on debt servicing by the Federal Government.

In comparative analysis, foreign debt servicing costs had always "exceeded" monthly expenditures by almost 400% since January 2023 and slightly declining intermittently from then to September 2024.

Economic observers have raised concerns that the recent astronomical increase in Nigeria's foreign debts could lead to further depression of the economy since government's prodigality and debt serving ratios gulp largest portion of annual budgets!

NIGERIA'S TOTAL DEBT PROFILE!

As of March 31, 2024, Nigeria's total public debt was ₦121.67 trillion ($91.46 billion), which includes both domestic and external debt:

Domestic debt: ₦65.65 trillion ($49.35 billion)

External debt: ₦56.02 trillion ($42.12 billion)

Here are some other details about Nigeria's debt profile:

Growth

Nigeria's public debt grew by 24.99% from Q4 2023 to Q1 2024.

States with the highest domestic debt

Lagos state had the highest domestic debt at ₦929.41 billion, followed by Delta at ₦334.90 billion.

States with the lowest domestic debt.

Jigawa state had the lowest domestic debt at ₦2.07 billion, followed by Ondo at ₦16.40 billion.

Creditors

Nigeria owes money to countries like China, France, Germany, and Japan, as well as multilateral institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), and the African Development bank (AfDB).

The government and the Debt Management Office (DMO) are working to address the country's rising debt.

WHAT IS LOAN SERVICING?

Loan servicing refers to the administrative aspects of a loan from the time the proceeds are dispersed to the borrower until the loan is paid off. Loan servicing includes sending monthly payment statements, collecting monthly payments, maintaining records of payments and balances, collecting and paying taxes and insurance (and managing escrow funds), remitting funds to the note holder, and following up on any delinquent borrower.

"ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL IN NIGERIA"!

The above headline was the topic of our Christmas 2023 Edition: Volume 12 No. 541 of 24th December 2023 of the Zion B-BC Newsletter.

In that edition WE disclosed that a total sum of N1 trillion Naira was saved into the Federation Account in the very first month of petroleum subsidy removal.

WE also queried non- disclosure of the savings between June and December 2023, a period of 7 months when the country should have been richer with N7 TRILLION NAIRA!

Up to date Mr President had not given account of the gains from his policies somersault of which the economic pains/agonies were still reverberating across the nation but went ahead and forwarded the very offensive and insensitive 2024 Appropriation bill of N27.3 trillion naira to the National Assembly on Wednesday 29th November 2023!

IT IS THE SAME 2024 BUDGET THAT IS IN CONTENTION NOW!

IN 18 MONTHS OF MR.TINUBU'S ADMINISTRATION - A TOTAL OF N18TRILLION NAIRA SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED AS SUBSIDY REMOVAL GAIN!

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

President Tinubu MUST realize that he is accountable to the CITIZENS of this nation in respect of all monetary transactions of government and without further delay TRANSFER THE SUBSIDY SAVINGS OF N18 TRILLION NAIRA TO THE FEDERATION ACCOUNT TO ESTABLISH TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

Part of the Subsidy Gains should have been suggested by him for appropriation to service the foreign loan. Mr. President and his lackies in the National Assembly are SUSPECT!

Whatever may seem hidden for now will definitely be exposed by Divine Authority!

IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT - ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE ESTABLISHED CHERISHED IDEOLOGY!

"TINUBU IS A STREET BOY - HE DRIVES THE CITY OF ABUJA AT NIGHT"!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 13. NO 578. 17th November 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

"TINUBU IS A STREET BOY - HE DRIVES THE CITY OF ABUJA AT NIGHT"!

[COURTESY SENATOR ORJI UZOR KALU]

At least, not all news about the incumbent President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is negative!

We are told that he still cared about the over 140 million multi-dimensionally poverty-stricken population many of whom his misguided authoritarian policy decisions of 29th May 2023, have sent to early graves!

According to Senator Orji Uzor Kalu who boasted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was his bosom friend, the Commander-in-Chief frequently kept night vigils on Abuja Streets to evaluate the economic and security conditions of the afflicted suffering masses!

This "Secret" was leaked by none other than Mr. President’s bosom friend

during an October Talk Show on Channels Television, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, who also opined that economic hardship was not peculiar to Nigeria as the impact of COVID-19 was still affecting economies globally. The lawmaker is representing Abia North in the National Assembly. He also said that the President would fix the economy which he admitted was BATTERED in order to ameliorate the hardship and pains of Nigerians.

"He is a street person; he knows the street very well. The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here,” he added with much gusto!

In the process of the interview, the Senator also disclosed that he earned a monthly stipend of N14 million which was insufficient to cater for overhead and workers salaries because he also had to purchased fuel to travel to his constituency!

COMMENTS:

*The Senator neither disclosed the number of days devoted by Mr.Tinubu to the "NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH" nor the economic dividends that have ACCRUED from the NOCTURNAL ESCAPADES!

*PMS (Petrol) which sudden astronomical increase was precipitated through his unwise policy is still dangling between N1,200-1,300 naira per litre;

*THE MOST CORRUPT Federal Government owned Agency, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), IS SABOTAGING CITIZEN ALIKO DANGOTE'S USD$20 BILLION SIXTH WORLD LARGEST PETROLEUM REFINERY through continuous and deliberate importation of petroleum products into the country in spite of the fact that Dangote's products are among the finest and best!

* THE NATIONAL CURRENCY - Naira as at 16th November 2024, exchanged for N1, 700 against 1 USD$ dollar;

*ELECTRICITY TARIFFS FOR ALL DELIBERATELY UNMETERED CITIZENS as at 17th November 2024, was N70,000 NAIRA, the equivalent of the much-publicized NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE !

*Legislators live large with at least N14 million monthly salaries as RUNNING COSTS which exclude various allowances which run into not less than N25millionl!

*The Law Makers each rides in foreign jeeps that cost N160-170 million naira and an unspecified amounts of multiple millions for EXECUTION OF CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS - all expenses paid from EXTERNAL BORROWINGS!

*INSECURITY IS AT ITS PEAK - AND UNGOVERNED SPACES HAVE BEEN ENLARGED DUE TO RE-EMERGENCE OF "A FOREIGN TERRORIST GROUP (LAKURAWA)," IN NORTH EAST NIGERIA!

Groceries/Finished Products inflation is risen between 350-400% because all commodities are DOLLARIZED!

*The Nigerian President was in Riyadh Saudi Arabia from Sunday 10th-12th ))))) November 2024, to attend a joint Arab-Islamic summit which could fetch his at least another ONE BILLION BORROWED DOLLARS which Nigerians have queried how the amount "would reduce the escalating price of fuel!!!

The Borrower, President Tinubu was received at the Airport by a DEPUTY GOVERNOR!!!!

DONALD TRUMP TELLS TINUBU VERY HARD NAKED TRUTH - CANCELS VISA TO NIGERIA!

"I am announcing a temporary policy shift one that aims to encourage Nigerians especially those in critical professions to STAY, INVEST AND WORK IN THEIR HOMELAND!

"As part of this policy THE US WILL LIMIT CERTAIN VISA APPROVALS FOR NIGERIAN PROFESSIONALS INCLUDING DOCTORS, NURSES, ENGINEERS and others in essential fields.

"This is not a move taken lightly nor is it meant to determine cultural exchange of partnerships between our Nations instead 

THIS IS A CALL FOR NIGERIANS TO DEDICATE THEIR SKILLS TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF NIGERIA ITSELF.

"We believe that the FUTURE OF A STRONG INDEPENDENT AND PROSPEROUS NIGERIA RELIES ON ITS CITIZENS AND IT'S WORKFORCE BEING BEEN INVESTED AND BUILDING THAT FUTURE FROM WITHIN.

"FOR NIGERIA TO BECOME THE WORLD LEADER IT has the potential to be and NEEDS IT'S DOCTORS IN IT'S HOSPITALS, IT'S ENGINEERS ON ITS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, IT'S TEACHERS IN IT'S CLASSROOMS AND IT'S ENTREPRENEURS IN ITS ECONOMY.

"We want to see Nigeria flourish as a pillar of stability and progress in Africa. We will do our part to support a nation that fosters this development.

"This decision was made with the utmost respect for the Nigerian people and with a genuine desire to see Nigeria succeed in its own terms. We are confident that this policy will serve as a stepping stone towards a brighter future.

 "To all Nigerians we admire you, we value you and we look forward to building a stronger partnership with a stronger Nigeria. Thank you.

QUESTIONS BEGGING FOR ANSWERS!!!

1. WILL THIS HARD TALK DETER THE "JAPA" SYNDROME OF NIGERIAN VISIONLESS LAZY YOUTHS?

In 2020, Trump's first term administration added Nigeria to a list of countries whose citizens will in some way be restricted from entering the United States because Nigeria didn’t comply with identity management and information sharing criteria. BUT WERE THEY DETERRED? Between 2015 - 2020 there were approximately 376,000 Nigerian immigrants in the United States according to official sources but has escalated to about 712,294 in 2024!

The United States is one of the top destinations for very lazy and visionless migrating Nigerian youths and some drop-out middle class in search of greener pastures?

NIGERIANS IN THE US AND OTHER FOREIGN COUNTRIES ARE NOTHING BUT SLAVES! How has their Diaspora Contributions (put at an annual estimate of USD$20 billion dollars by the World Bank in 2023), augmented or improved TINUBU'S "KALO KALO" BORROWING ECONOMY?

2. CAN THE CURRENT HEARTLESS POLITICIANS SUPPORTING TINUBU REPENT FROM STEALING THE COMMON PATRIMONY MEANT FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS & STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURES?

NO! ON TINUBU'S MANDATE OF INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION THEY STAND!

They all agreed that the solution to Nigeria's current economic imbroglio is to completely demolish the squandomania attitude that surrounds the PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM by adopting A ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM WHICH COULD BE OPERATED ON PART-TIME BASIS opined in one Accord that Tinubu should still be allowed spend two terms as President in office before the option FOR THEM TO FURTHER FEST THEIR CORRUPTION NEST!

3. IS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ADVICE NOT A SLAP ON THE FACE OF TINUBU WHO HAS RECORDED 29 FOREIGN JOURNEYS IN 17 MONTHS TO BORROW MONIES INSTEAD OF LOOKING INWARDS LIKE CHINA AND THE ASIAN TIGER NATIONS DID AND ARE FLOURISHING ECONOMICALLY?

OF COURSE! IT IS A VERY DIRTY SLAP! The PATRIOTS comparising of very eminent senior citizens led by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, (distinguished former Secretary - General of the Commonwealth), have supported our over 11-year Clarion Call and submitted to him on 2nd August 2024 A BLUE PRINT to achieve a committed unicameral (one house) parliament in NINE MONTHS!

"At the mouths of two or three witnesses, a matter is established!"

"NO MORE TRUMP"...ONE MORE CROOKED TRUMP!!!

"NO MORE TRUMP"...ONE MORE CROOKED TRUMP!!!

The United States of America as the greatest economy, world power and bastion of global democracy should not be totally denegrated and condemned because a felon has TRUMPED himself into the helm of affairs!

Donald Trump broke the Guinness Book of Records as THE VERY first CONVICT to contest a presidential election and declared winner to mount the podium from 20th January 2025!

He garnered through a misguided and vision less motley Electoral College, 295 votes to "defeat " Presidential Candidate of the ruling Democratic Party, Kamala Harris who got 226 votes at the end of counting! He also won in the popular votes!

It is on record that Donald Trump organized a treasonable attack on the CAPITOL - (Seat of the US Congress) - when he lost to the incumbent President Joe Biden in 2020 when his demented thugs invaded and inflicted terrible damages on the sacred buildings and Legislators who were in session!

Prior to the Presidential Election of Tuesday 5th November 2024, this felon "PLAYED A TRUMP CARD" by boasting that he would neither accept nor concede defeat if he lost but would make America ungovernable! [Dictionary meaning of trump]: In bridge, whist, and similar card games, a playing card of the suit chosen to rank above the others, which can win a trick where a card of a different suit has been led; * "declarer ruffs the opening lead and plays a trump - a valuable resource that may be used, especially as a surprise, in order to gain an advantage!

IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE TWO ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS ON HIM DURING THE ELECTIONEERING CAMPAIGNS WE'RE MASTER - MINDED AND STAGE - MANAGED!

THEY WERE TRUMP CARDS!

BREAKING NEWS

AMERICANS VOTED 34 CRIMES CONVICT': TRUMP'S VICTORY ANGERS NIGERIA'S EX-MINISTER!

Excerpts as published on November 6, 2024.

Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, Nigeria’s Former Minister of Foreign Affairs has expressed disappointment over the outcome of the presidential election in the United States in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat's Woman Candidate Vice president Kamala Harris! Reacting, Akinyemi described Trump’s victory as crudity and over-refinement. While featuring on an Arise TV program, the former Minister opined that Trump as an ex-convict, lacks the capacity to lead the American people.

According to him, Trump has been convicted of 34 different crimes in the country.

“What just happened in America is a victory of crudity, over-refinement, and all that the United States should not stand for.

“This is a victory for what the world is not expecting from a country that prides itself as the bright light on a shining hill.

“It’s hard to understand why people will vote for a person that has been convicted of 34 crimes”

[Please find out below why Donald Trump brazenly bulldozed his way into the prestigious US White House Oval Office!]

US ELECTION 2024: CAN DONALD TRUMP VOTE AS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL?

 WHAT THE LAW SAYS:

Written By Gulam Jeelani.

US Election 2024: If elected, Donald Trump would be the first convicted president, having been found guilty of falsifying records. Florida laws on voting won't apply to him due to a New York statute allowing felons to vote if not incarcerated. Republican nominee, Donald Trump will be the first convicted individual to become US President and sit in the Oval Office, if he wins the tight race to White House against Democrat Kamala Harris. The US laws do not prohibit convicted individuals from contesting for Presidential post. But can the former US President cast his vote as a convicted individual. As per the law in Trump's home state of Florida, felons are not allowed to vote until they serve the sentence, or in some cases, had their voting rights restored through the State Clemency Board, according to a New York Times report.

But these rules will not apply on Trump. Florida law stipulates that those convicted out of state are beholden to the voting laws of the state in which they were convicted.

Trump convicted in Manhattan, New York, in May this year. He benefits from a 2021 New York State law that allows felons to vote as long as they are not incarcerated, a CNN report says.

CONVICTED IN NEW YORK

The former President was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush-money payment to the adult film starStormy Daniels, making him the first former president to be convicted of felony.

The sentencing in the case is scheduled on November 26. Trump had initially said he planned to vote early but then decided to vote in person on Election Day - today.

During his previous term (2016-2020), Trump became the first president to be impeached twice. First for withholding military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponents and then for instigating a ‘coup’ on January 6, 2021 after his defeat to Democrat Joe Biden.

THE DOLLAR GAME - ELON MUSK & CO!

BILLIONAIRES SUPPORT FOR TRUMP - BIRDS OF A FEATHER!

Acclaimed world richest man , Elon Musk fraternized with Five other billionaires to support and sponsor the just elected Donald Trump with raffle draw incentives of ONE MILLION A DAY SWEEPSTAKES to bait the generality of the MIDDLE CLASS ELECTORATE until election Day and was backed by a Pennsylvanian Judge ruling! In less than 48 hours of the results Musk's wealth had appreciated by USD $13billion through multiple investments in hisTesla Electric Car Industry! The same windfall must have favored the others!

The billionaire businessman has revealed that people make their political decisions based on tribal sentiments rather than logical reasons!

This assertion on his X media page brought about mixed reactions among commentators in the United States!

THEIR STUPENDOUS WEALTH IS SUSPECT! THEY BANKROLLED A FELON TO WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE THEY HARDLY PAY TAXES! (Check Donald Trump’s biography in Wikipedia to confirm how he made his illicit billions of US$ DOLLARS)!

CAN DONALD TRUMP REVERSE HIS CONVICTION ON ASSUMPTION IN 2025 AS 47TH AMERICAN PRESIDENT?

"AMERICA, THEIR AMERICA." BY J.P. CLARK.

"America, Their America" (1964) is a personal journal and travelogue by Nigerian writer J. P. Clark. A year’s study at Princeton University on a foundation grant resulted in his America, Their America (1964), in which he attacks American middle-class values, from capitalism to Black American lifestyles.

WHAT LESSONS FOR AFRICA?

Donald Trump in his seven point agenda states as follows:

*Will deport all illegal and undocumented migrants.

*Will move on the economy on taxes and tariffs.

*Cut climate regulations

* End Ukraine War.

* No abortion ban.

* Pardon some January 6 2021 CAPITOL RIOTERS.

* Sack Special Counsel Jack Smith, who professionally handled his trials and convictions!

It is estimated that there are more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States of America out of which Africans are in large majority!

Donald Trump is a die-hard racist who has never hidden his hatred for the entire BLACK RACE and is determined to pursue his selfish agenda of AMERICA FIRST which is a mere smokescreen!

Africans MUST UNITE and build a more economically formidable United Continent that will command universal respect and attention!

And whereas America is nation populated by immigrants from all over the world and therefore one man cannot change the status quo, as enacted by the Founding Fathers;;not now, not ever!

DONALD TRUMP HAS ONLY FOUR YEARS TO REPENT OR PERISH!

RUSSIAN FLAGS & NIGERIAN ECONOMIC STRATEGY THROUGH CITIZENS BLOOD!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 13. NO 576. 3rd November 2024} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

RUSSIAN FLAGS & NIGERIAN ECONOMIC STRATEGY THROUGH CITIZENS BLOOD!

The Nigerian Foreign Policy of non-alignment under Mr. President Bola Tinubu is mere administrative expression to sooth his whims and caprices depending on advantage!

On the one hand the Nigerian Government has charged 76 #End Bad Governance Protesters - including 32 Juveniles to Court for an "act of treason" for waving Russian Flags and on the other, it has entered into PARTNERSHIP with the detested country at the October '24, 16th BRICS SUMMIT chaired by President Vladimir Putin in Kazan near Moscow!

BRICS (acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), had existed since 2001 as an alternate and competitive economic bloc to checkmate the United States/European Union (EU) aggressive neo- colonialistic trade incursions in the very lucrative 21st Century African Continent!

THE OFFENSIVE RUSSIAN FLAGS ORCHESTRATED BY ENEMIES OF STATE!

Public protests in Nigeria usually attracted indolent out-of-school STREET CHILDREN who infiltrate such unruly crowds for illicit gains and the August #End Bad Governance protest was not an exception!

Enemies of State who orchestrated and hijacked the protesters in Kano wasted no time to distribute the offensive Russian Flags (white, blue and red) into their IDLE HANDS TO WAVE as they followed the crowd which eventually became unruly following armed Police intervention! The clandestine message of the Russian flags was very clear to security agents who realized that the Russian government was being subtly invited to intervene in the affairs of the sovereign nation of Nigeria!

In addition to the act of "a glaring act of betrayal" THE ILLITERATE MOB veered into looting of properties of innocent Nigerians and in the process 13 of them were believed to have been shot dead according to Amnesty International!

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE IN ECOWAS!

Russian influence is prominent in some Francophone Sahel States in the West African Sub Region - ECOWAS - of which President Bola Tinubu is or was Chairman?

It is strongly believed that the military coups of Mali (2020), Burkina Faso (2022) and Niger (2023) were influenced by Russia because all of them have disengaged from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Although the three nations were part of the founding members, they claimed their “sovereign decision” to withdraw stemmed from the fact that the bloc compromised under foreign influence, betrayed its founding principles, posed a threat to member states and failed to help them tackle the jihadist violence in their countries!

THE MASSACRE OF BRAINWASHED & UNEDUCATED STREET CHILDREN!

After the unfortunate massacre, arrests and incarceration of some protesters across Nigeria on 1st August 2024, three whole months elapsed before detainees were arraigned in any court of law - and whereas 32 OUT-OF-SCHOOL JUVENILES were among the prisoners!

Global condemnation of Tinubu's violation of fundamental rights of the minors who had in THREE MONTHS of incarceration in the Adult Correctional Center become terribly emaciated for lack of adequate victuals/medical attention!

(Below are some Media condemnation reports):

THE PUNCH!

Nigerians have expressed outrage over the arraignment of 76 suspects, including 32 minors, before Justice Obiora Egwuatu at the Abuja division of the Federal High Court for participating in the #EndBadGovernance protests in August.

The defendants, who have been in detention for three months, were arrested in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), as well as Kaduna, Gombe, Jos, Katsina, and Kano states. They were arraigned by the Inspector General of Police on 10 counts bordering on treason, intent to destabilise Nigeria and inciting to mutiny by calling on the military to take over the government from President Bola Tinubu, among others.

REUTERS: NOV.1 - Nigeria charged 76 people, including 30 minors, with treason and inciting a military coup after they took part in deadly August protests against economic hardship, court documents showed on Friday. Protesters in August demonstrated in Abuja, the commercial capital Lagos and several other cities to show discontent with economic reforms that have led to rampant inflation and inflicted increasing hardship on ordinary Nigerians.

Amnesty International said at least 13 people died during clashes with security forces on the first day of protests. A rights group said the minors have been held since August by the Nigerian police after participating in protests against worsening insecurity and deprivation in the country.

SAHARA REPORTERS - NOVEMBER 1, 2024.

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, to review the treasonable felony charges brought against some underage and malnourished children before the Federal High Court in Abuja, which has attracted national and global outrage. SaharaReporters learnt from sources that Tinubu on Friday ordered the AGF to review the cases and make recommendations accordingly after the Nigerian presidency came under scrutiny for maltreating underage children accused of bogus charges for participating in the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests in August.

The court presided over by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, granted stringent bail to over 70 persons including minors for their alleged roles in the protests.

Five minors out of the 76 defendants meant to be arraigned on Friday, however, slumped inside the courtroom and were rushed to the hospital.

The minors have been taken back to Kuje Prison following difficulties in meeting their bail conditions.

The court granted each of the defendants N10 MILLION BAIL among other stringent terms.

HUMAN RIGHTS AND ADVOCACY GROUPS across the country have accused President Bola Tinubu of running a cruel, heinous and punitive government. The groups said this in separate statements issued on Friday while condemning the continued detention and prosecution of #EndBadGovernance protesters. The groups said the arraignment of the protesters before Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja exposes the gross and tone-deaf indifference of all Arms of the Nigerian government to justice and the well-being of Nigerians.

ECONOMIC BLOOD GAINS FROM RUSSIA!

[REPORT FROM NAIRAMETICS]

"Nigeria has officially joined BRICS as a partner country, alongside 12 other nations, further strengthening its economic ties with the intergovernmental bloc.

This announcement was made at the ongoing BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, held from October 22 to 24, 2024.

Nigeria’s inclusion comes on the heels of a significant surge in foreign capital inflows from BRICS nations, which rose by 189% in the first half of 2024, reaching $1.27 billion, compared to $438.72 million during the same period in 2023.

TRUTHS NIGERIANS MUST KNOW!

* Although a Nigerian Delegation headed by Vice President Kashim Shettima attended the 15th Summit of BRICS in South Africa in 2023, it made no attempt to join the organization.

* Illiterate and totally uneducated street protesters were both massacred and incarcerated for waving RUSSIAN FLAGS on 1st August 2024 and Nigeria went ahead to PARTNER RUSSIA IN BRICS THREE MONTHS LATER, 1st November 2024, as reported by NAIRA METRICS in previous paragraphs!

* There would have been no cause for #EndBadGovernance Protests in Nigeria if Bola Tinubu's was prepared and had well-informed economic purposes for execution!

*NIGERIA'S DESTINY IS NOW SQUARELY IN THE HANDS OF THE CITIZENS WHO MUST SUPPORT THE DEMAND FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A UNICAMERAL (ONE HOUSE), PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY!

Security agents involved in the extra-judicial killings of those innocent citizens (who only exercised their fundamental rights) should be cast into detention pending trial! Tinubu should immediately release all the 72 falsely-accused persons, with APOLOGIES AND PAYMENT OF EQUITABLE & REASONABLE COMPENSATIONS!

The President should not be dumb - he could still redeem whatever remains of his dented image! Time is of essence!
