TOMPOLO IS A CONTRADICTION TO PATRIOTIC MILITANCY!

Niger Delta Nigeria has undoubtedly been the major foreign exchange earner which has successively sustained the nation‘s economy through crude oil exploration and exploitation from early independence to date.

But due to several years of glaring neglect of socio-economic dividends to the indigenous masses of the region, some angry youths formed militant groups to pressurize governments at Federal and State levels to fulfill all political manifestos.

Oweizide Thomas Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, acclaimed to be religious leader of the Woyin Religion, an indigenous belief system of the Ijaw people and also a former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), influenced by the Egbesu Deity, which represents truth, fairness, and equity – an alternate name for Woyin became an arrow head and rallying figure.

 Tompolo and his followers participated in the Niger Delta arm struggle for the emancipation of the region until their demands were met and amnesty secured but of recent, TOMPOLO has metamorphosed into the prestigious rank of Nigerian numerous billionaires who flaunt dubious wealth in public to further compound the misery of poor masses!

In an unprecedented show of affluence on his 54th birthday celebration, 12th April 2025, TOMPOLO displayed his new personality as he danced under heavy showers of mint crisp Nigerian Naira Currencies until they formed a massive heap around him!

Tompolo, now a Federal Government Contractor on Security Matters has caught the ire of the EFCC through a viral video making rounds on social media and has been invited for questioning!

In January 2016, under the regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, an arrest warrant for Tompolo was issued on charges of theft and money laundering. Prior to that time, his last public appearance was in 2014 and for six years he succeeded to dodge all security radar and his location and whereabouts remained a mystery until 2020 when he resurfaced in his Egbesu shrine.

Surprisingly in August 2022, Muhammadu Buhari renewed a multi-billion naira lucrative contract of security surveillance of the Delta region pipelines to Tompolo, Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited – a private security firm owned by the ex-militant.

ACTIVISM AND MILITANCY ACCORDING TO HIS RESUME.

In 1993, Tompolo dropped out of college and joined a resistance group in the Niger Delta. In 1998, Tompolo joined the newly formed Ijaw Youth Council and became a well respected member. Since there was very little progress in the Ijaw Youth Council Tompolo joined the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta.

 Tompolo’s invitation by Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, leader of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) to take refuge in Delta state in 2005 helped precipitate the formation of MEND soon afterwards.

 Ekpemupolo quickly rose to a high commander in MEND and with his vast wealth he was able to supply MEND with large amounts of weapons and new equipment. Tompolo was in command of thousands of militants and successfully strategized to draw attention of the government and the multinational oil companies to the exploitation and degradation of the peoples and environments of the Niger Delta that needed urgent economic intervention!

For years Tompolo was a commander in various guerrilla groups in the Niger Delta which were all agitating against their perceived insensitivity of the federal government and the international oil companies towards to exploitation and degradation of the Niger Delta.

GRANT OF AMNESTY.

During his time as a guerrilla commander, he, under the auspices of MEND was able to drive the Nigerian government to grant amnesty to MEND members who decided to surrender. Tompolo was granted full amnesty as well as all of his men when he embraced the amnesty offer on the Federal Government of Nigeria under president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on June 27, 2009.

 Tompolo embraced amnesty on October 4, 2009, in order to allow for peace in the area, and for the government and oil companies to carry out development projects, and provide jobs and training.

WHAT THE NIGERIAN LAW SAYS ON CURRENCY MUTILATION OR ABUSE?

A person who tampers with the Naira note or coin is guilty of an offence, punishable by law (CBN Act, Section 21). It is also against the law to reject the Naira (Section 20, subsection 5).

WHAT IS THE LAW FOR ABUSE OF CURRENCY IN NIGERIA?

Under Section 21 of the CBN Act, 2007, all acts that constitute Naira abuse are punishable by imprisonment for a term of not less than six months or a fine not less than ₦50,000 or both. These include: Spraying of, dancing or matching/stepping on the Naira: This is explicitly prohibited and constitutes an offense.

WHAT IS THE CBN ACT ON MONEY MUTILATION?

In Section 21(3), the CBN Act states: “for the avoidance of doubt, spraying of, dancing or marching on the Naira or any other notes issued by the Bank during social occasions or otherwise howsoever shall constitute an abuse and defacing of the Naira and shall be punishable under subsection (1) of this section.”21 Apr 2024.

SOUTH-SOUTH APC OBJECTS TOMPOLO’S INVITATION BY EFCC!

The South-south Zonal Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is also Tompolo’s lawyer,Dr. Blessing Agbomhere, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to remove the name of the founder of Tantita Security Services Limited, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, from its X handle over alleged abuse of the naira.

In a letter to the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, he described the invitation to Tompolo as unnecessary, as the individual in question has not committed any offence known to law.

The EFCC had in a letter dated 12th May 2025, invited Tompolo to appear on Monday, the 19th of May at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja to answer questions on his alleged involvement in naira abuse during his (Tompolo’s) 54th birthday anniversary celebration in April.

He Insisted that there was no evidence to show that Tompolo stepped on the Naira notes as alleged, but was rather seen in the video waving at the individual spraying him with the notes to stop!

TOMPOLO IS A DISGRACE TO KEN SARO-WIWA’S LEGACY OF DIGNITY OF MAN!

Ken Saro-Wiwa’s legacy is marked by his courage in challenging human rights abuses and environmental degradation caused by multinational corporations, particularly in the Niger Delta.

He was not involved in the rat race for the acquisition of wealth – a trade mark of militants of his era.

His activism and tragic death sparked international attention, leading to increased scrutiny of business and human rights, and inspired activists worldwide to fight for justice.

Saro-Wiwa’s execution, along with the Ogoni Nine, is seen as a pivotal moment that helped launch the international business and human rights (BHR) movement which mandate includes close monitoring to ensure foreign exploration conform with international best practices.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM.

His fight for the Ogoni people’s rights highlighted the environmental damage caused by oil extraction and the need for environmental justice and dedication to human rights and environmental protection continues to inspire activists globally, particularly in the face of corporate power.

Saro-Wiwa’s legacy emphasizes the importance of holding businesses accountable for their actions and upholding ethical principles.

MANDATORY CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND THE OGONI BILL OF RIGHTS.

He challenged the traditional view of corporations as solely profit-driven and highlighted their responsibility to consider the human and environmental impact of their operations which must be contractual in execution.

The Ogoni Bill of Rights drafted by Saro-Wiwa, remains a critical framework for restructuring the Nigerian state and ensuring more just and equitable governance, as well as protecting individual rights and freedoms.

Ken Saro-Wiwa passed on without accumulating ephemeral wealth but bequeathed an indelible footprint of a selfless and patriotic life for posterity.

TOMPOLO MUST BE MADE TO FACE THE FULL FORCE OF THE RULE OF LAW TO SERVE AS DETERRENT TO CARNAL CITIZENS LIKE HIM!

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.”? (Mark 8:36).

CHINA WILL BE LARGEST ECONOMY WITH BRICS ALLIANCE!

 NEWSLETTER.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 603 11th May 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

CHINA WILL BE LARGEST ECONOMY WITH BRICS ALLIANCE!

China is poised to become world’s number one economic bloc – a position which America had prestigiously occupied before the advent of Donald Trump’s maladministration!

To say that Donald Trump bulldozed his way into the Oval Office and became the 47th President of the United States of America and has been seated in the White House from 20th January 2025, even though he is a convicted criminal is an understatement!

With only four months in that official capacity he had exhibited an array of incompetent policy misdirection and somersaults that have exposed his lack of expertise in international economics.

He blindly issued 147 Presidential Orders on the spur of the moment according to his whims and caprices and cared less about catastrophic consequences.

He has become a thorn in the flesh of leaders, movers and shakers of global economy in all continents and countries of the World!

As a professional manipulator he had threatened before the 2024 Election that if he was not favored he would make America ungovernable!

If Donald Trump had been a CHINESE national, he would never have competed; he would have been summarily executed on conviction of 34 criminal charges!

There is no doubt that Donald Trump is out on a revenge mission not only against the Democrats but by extension, the entire governments of other countries of the world which were opposed to his second tenure!

He made good his campaign threat that on assumption he would deport all illegal and undocumented immigrants by fire and by force but in the process got muddled up due to his inadequacies in human capacity management.

He forgot that America had official and existing trade relationships with deportees countries but went ahead without thinking of the negative consequences he now has to deal with!

He believed that his fastest move to achieve his slogan “TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”, was to astronomically increase Import Tariffs of all trade commodities from other nations and by so doing generate astronomical increase in his country’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), earnings in a very short period!

That uneconomic move has become his undoing and exposed him to the all world leaders as an IMPOSTER without modern economic knowledge and capacity to deal with the dynamics of professional economic engagements of the 21st Century bilateral international engagements.

The misled mammoth crowd that voted him for this second tenure are now licking their wounds and have staged massive protests across the 50 US States to vent their disgust about all of his socio-economic and unpopular foreign policies!

CHINA ON THE OFFENSIVE!

Ahead of an international Trade Summit at the instance of the United States, China has raised tariffs on US goods to 125% in response to the imposing tariffs of 145% on Chinese imports.

This escalation in tariffs is part of a broader trade war between the two countries, which has led to a significant decline in trade between the two nations.

China has also restricted exports of seven rare earths, including those essential for making AI chips, further exacerbating the trade tensions.

This follows an escalation where China initially retaliated with an 84% levy on US goods, which was then increased to 125%.

The US has imposed tariffs of up to 145% on some Chinese imports and China wasted no time to respond by raising tariffs on US goods to 125%, effectively increasing the cost of these goods for US consumers and businesses.

However concessions prevailed as both countries have granted exemptions on certain critical products to mitigate the impact of the tariffs.

The escalating trade war is causing economic uncertainty and potentially leading to a shift in China’s trade patterns, with some suggesting a move away from the US market.

Despite the tariff hikes, there are indications of ongoing dialogue and attempts to find a resolution, including potential tariff reductions.

 For example, Reuters reported that Trump suggested an 80% tariff rate on Chinese goods which CNBC also reported as a potential compromise.

BREAKING NEWS!

TRUMP TARIFFS LIVE UPDATES: US, CHINA AGREE TO SLASH TARIFFS IN 90-day TRADE TRUCE!

US and China have agreed to put most tariffs on pause for 90 days, marking a major de-escalation in a trade tit-for-tat that has roiled global markets.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who led weekend trade talks for the US delegation, said both sides have pledged to slash tariffs.

US tariffs on most Chinese imports will be cut to 30% from the current 145%, while China’s tariffs will drop to 10% from the current 125%, according to a joint statement.

The consensus from both delegations this weekend is neither side wants a “decoupling,” Bessent said on Monday.

“And what had occurred with these very high tariffs … was the equivalent of an embargo, and neither side wants that. We do want trade.”

The US said the tariff reductions would be in effect for 90 days while talks proceed. President Trump plans to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping soon, “maybe at the end of the week," he said on Monday 12th May 2025.

DONALD TRUMP BACKS DOWN TO CHINA AND THE BRICS TRADE FORCE!

The BRICS – Brazil , Russia, India, China and South Africa, ably led by Russia which is America’s arch rival is warming up to teach Donald Trump a great lesson on how not to mess with well-established trade force!

But in the meantime, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which consists of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine, is striving to expunge US currency from being used for transactions within their respective borders and between each other, according to an April 2025, accord!

The US Dollar is loosing its strength: it’s not a theory, nor is it a rumor; these eleven countries have officially announced that they will stop using the U.S. currency in their transactions starting in 2025, and this news comes just as the country is going through one of the most complicated economic moments in recent years.

The goal is clear: to strengthen their own economies, reduce the influence of the United States, and start operating with their own currencies.

“And although it’s not an immediate goodbye or the end of the world, it does mark the beginning of the end of the dollar’s hegemony as the global currency”, the report concluded.

WILL THIS FAILED AMERICAN PRESIDENT BURY HIS FAKED PRIDE, FALL IN LINE AND BEGIN TO LEARN FROM GLOBAL EXPERTS?

Having shot himself in the foot through fake and empty arrogance of a complete novice in international economics and the rug pulled off his feet by acclaimed trade experts of well-established nations across the globe;

WE want to believe that Donald Trump would quietly lick his wounds and fall in line to avoid total collapse of what is left of the US Economy!

“A Word is enough for the Wise!”

GALE OF DEFECTIONS SHOULD ACCELERATE CAMPAIGN FOR ONE-HOUSE PARLIAMENT!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 602 4th May 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

GALE OF DEFECTIONS SHOULD ACCELERATE CAMPAIGN FOR ONE-HOUSE PARLIAMENT!

A group of sadists who, unfortunately claim to be Representatives of the 220 million Nigerians in the  National Assembly (NASS), have switched camps in the last week of April 2025 through defection to the FAILED ruling  All Progressive Congress (APC), in a frenzied manner that portrays madness, mental dysfunction or both!

At the last count, not less than 50 heartless opposition legislators have decamped to turn Nigeria into a one-party State!

The ruling party now has overwhelming majority in both chambers of NASS to intensify the endemic state of corruption for which Nigeria holds the world record!

There are 18 political parties currently registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria. These include the major parties like the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Labor Party (LP).

There are 15 other parties which include the Action Peoples Party (APP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), that are also registered but they have all ganged-up to turn Nigeria into a One Party State of Government for the sole aim of further robbing the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which keeps custody of only BORROWED FOREIGN LOANS!

A one-party state, single-party state, one-party system or single-party system is a governance structure in which only a single political party controls the ruling system. In a one-party state, all opposition parties are either outlawed or enjoy limited and controlled participation in elections.

EFFECTS OF THE GALE OF DEFECTIONS ON THE RED CHAMBER. 

Senate (Red Chamber), can now “boast” of an overwhelming majority of about 66 APC Legislators out of 109 members who will rubber stamp all requests from the Executive without soliciting for the opposition’s votes. 

The major opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has 33, Labor 5, Social Democratic Party 2, and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has one Senator.

There are two vacant seats, one for Anambra South due to the death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah last year and Edo Central as a result of Senator Monday Okpebholo election as Governor of Edo State.

It is also being rumored that  Governors Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Peter Mbah (Enugu), Aba Yusuf (Kano) and suspended Governor, Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers) might  also defect to the ruling APC in the next few weeks.

Some opposition politicians have alleged that mischief and blackmail had been employed by the ruling party to coerce opposition Governors and others to dump their political parties and join the APC in order that President Tinubu would have a better outing in 2027!

He only mustered 36.5 per cent in the 2023 General Elections to move to ASO ROCK. It was the least percentage compared to other past general elections results!

Grapevine also disclosed that President Bola Tinubu’s had covert meeting with the suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara in London during his last overseas jamboree!

The said London meeting was held at the instance of the embattled governor, who was suspended from office after a declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

Although the details of the meeting were still shrouded in secrecy, Fubara is believed to being cajoled with the option of defection to the ruling APC to retrieve his mandate as Rivers State Governor!

In the case of the Akwa Ibom State Governor,  Eno, his plan to defect to the APC according to the rumors had been linked to the plight of his predecessor and godfather regarding an alleged corruption case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

WHAT DOES THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION SAY ABOUT PARTY DEFECTION?

Sections 68(1) (g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria clearly addressed party defection in the legislative context. It stipulates that members of a legislative house who change political parties will lose their seat. The Speaker of the House or the Senate President is responsible for implementing this provision. This means that legislators who switch parties are expected to vacate their positions.

 This section states that a member shall vacate his seat “being a person whose election to the house was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected; provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored ”.

However, this section only addresses members of the national assembly and is silent on all other elective positions.

The 2010 Electoral Act also attempts to forestall political defections with some of its provisions but it has not been very successful in reducing the indiscriminate abandonment of one party for another by politicians. Attempts to introduce bills on the floor of the National Assembly to curtail defections have also been unsuccessful.

THERE CAN BE NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW FOR ALL UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION CAMPAIGNERS TO JOIN RANKS TO PUSH THE BILL IN NASS THROUGH!

A Bill seeking to return Nigeria to the parliamentary system of government passed second reading at the House of Representatives on Thursday, 20th March 2025.

The bill seeks to establish the office of the Prime Minister as Head of Government and the President as Head of State.

The proposed legislation was among the 32 Constitutional Amendment Bills passed by the lawmakers during a plenary session presided over by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.

The proposed legislation, sponsored by Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda and 59 others, seeks to alter the 1999 Constitution to introduce a parliamentary framework that will shift executive authority from the President to a Prime Minister elected by the legislature.

The bill is titled: *”A Bill for an Act to Alter the Provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 to Provide for the Office of the Prime Minister as Head of Government and the Office of President as Head of State and to Provide for a Framework for the Mode of Election to the Said Offices and for Related Matters.”*

Parliamentary democracy was practiced in the First Republic, with Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa serving as Prime Minister and Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe as the ceremonial President.

The system, which lasted from 1960 until the 1966 military coup, allowed executive authority to reside in the Prime Minister, who was chosen from the majority party in parliament, while the President served as the Head of State.

The system is cost-effective and is very unfriendly with corruption!

In February 2024, some 60 members of the House of Representatives sought amendments to the 1999 Constitution to transition from the current presidential system to the parliamentary system of government.

Led by a lawmaker representing Lagos State under the All Progressives Congress, Wale Raji, the lawmakers identified the need to reduce the cost of government and foster robust policy debates among other reasons, for demanding a return to the parliamentary system.

The lawmakers, drawn from different party affiliations, anchored their positions on the need to adopt a parliamentary system at the Federal, State, and Local Government levels.

President Tinubu will be adding insult to injury by hoping to remain in office beyond 2027, having performed woefully in less than TWO YEARS!

The PATRIOTS led by Elder Statesman, Emeka Anyanoku should close ranks with Professor Pat Utomi, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, Dele Momodu,  Pastor Tunde Bakare, the  Nigerian Labor Congress, Verydarkman, Vincent Otse and a host of other ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM CAMPAIGNERS, shut down Nigeria in December 2025 and make the dream come true.

 The set time for Nigeria’s freedom from the bondage from oligarchy is now!

“A stitch in time saves nine.”

SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE RED SEA AND PHARAOH’S ARMY!

SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE RED SEA AND PHARAOH’S ARMY!

The Nigerian President who governed from Paris and London for almost three weeks arrived midnight on Easter Monday 21st April 2025 into the waiting motley of sycophants who must be at the airport to shake his hands as mark of allegiance!

In spite of the fact that from the tarmac, he stepped into the blood of about 106 fresh innocent Nigerians who were brutally murdered in the North Central States of Benue and Plateau in his second year of administration, he had not deemed it necessary to visit in person and condole with the families of those who have lost their loved ones to the cold hands of death as a result of his #BadGovernance!

Official sources say that he gave matching orders to security Service Chiefs to move into the affected areas and ensure peace was restored and that was all!

Mr. Bola Tinubu’s greatest ambition was to adorn the title of President of Nigeria; he never prepared for the enormous cerebral responsibilities attached the office!

Otherwise, having turned the country into a nation of hungry and angry people through policy somersault, should he still have the guts to say he had no regrets for his inaugural blunder of subsidy removal and foreign exchange merger?

Since that 29th May 2023 declaration, the country had gravitated from poverty to anarchy to make crimes and criminalities lucrative ventures for fifth columnists and he said without qualms that he “did not promise El Dorado”!

In his handlers desperation to cook  up a Mid-term Assessment Economic Figures, a delegation moved to Washington DC, United States to attend the annual Spring International Monetary Fund (IMF) – World Bank Group (WBG), Meeting (21st – 26th April 2025), where neo-colonialist trade agenda were usually proposed to African States that would swallow their baits!

Prior to the meeting, the American Fitch Credit Report has moved Nigeria’s economic rating from -B to B; which indicates a Paper Pass Mark as if the LETTER B WILL FEED THE 20 MILLION STREET  CHILDREN AND THE  OVER 200 MILLION MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY- STRICKEN CITIZENS!

Tinubu’s  Administration in all ramifications has been deceptive, destructive and unproductive, yet in his confusion he is engrossed with a second term opportunity as president in 2027 and has surreptitiously organized mass defection of the Opposition Parties into his ruling APC!

BUT TINUBU IS NOW SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE RED SEA AND PHARAOH’S ARMY!

The Red Sea is the Northern Political Caucus which is poised “to teach him a lesson of his life” for shortchanging them in the distribution of political appointments!

The Pharaoh’s Army are all defectors from opposition parties who are the fifth columnists who will sell their votes to the highest bidders come 2027!

The most absurd among the defectors being the South -South Delta State Governor who was barred by a Nigerian Army of Occupation which took laws into their hands in March 2024, sealed off Okuama Community for over two weeks and in retaliation, slaughtered several innocent civilians whom they believed were complicit to an earlier murder of 16 of their colleagues on a peace mission!

The Governor who was denied access to the said Community throughout the army’s murderous rampage along with his cabinet have now become APC bona fide members ruling party whose COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF had no control over the ARMY!

EXCERPTS FROM CIVIL SOCIETIES SCORECARD ON TINUBU’S FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE.

In the first anniversary of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, a group of 84 local and international Civil Society Organizations said at least 4,416 persons were killed.

Addressing journalists at a press conference held in Abuja on Tuesday, to mark the 2024 National Day of Mourning, said the insecurity in the country had earned Nigeria a place as one of the most insecure countries in the world, ranking 144th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index in 2024.

“Since the commemoration of the last National Day of Mourning #NDOM2023 on May 28th, 2023, and President Tinubu’s first year in office, our records show that at least 4416 people were killed and at least 4334 were abducted in incidents of mass atrocities across the country.

They further stated that the Northern Central region had accounted for the highest number of fatalities, with at least 1600 lost, the North West came in second place with at least 1,136 fatalities, with Maradun Local Government, a community in Zamfara state, being the most hard-hit after enduring at least five separate incidents of terror in 2023, with at least 118 lives lost.

The Southeast recorded the highest number of killings in the Southern part of the country with at least 344 killed, with most of the massacres occurring in Imo and Anambra states.

The CSOs urged the government to fulfil its constitutional obligations under Section 14(2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and ensure the security of Nigerian lives and properties.

PAT UTOMI HAS WOKEN UP FROM HIS COMA – WHAT ABOUT PROFS. WOLE SOYINKA AND BOLAJI AKINYEMI?

In our Zion B-BC Newsletter 455th Edition of 1st May, 2022 titled “IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP FROM YOUR COMA – WOLE SOYINKA, BOLAJI AKINYEMI, PAT UTOMI”, We admonished the intellectual TRIO to take up the gauntlet and salvage what remained of the nation’s democracy!

Although the clarion call is now THREE YEARS OLD, We are glad that one of them has come out to organize necessary activities to achieve the ultimate goal for emancipation of Poor Nigerians from the yoke of continuous oppression!

Please find below excerpts of Professor Pat Utomi’s lofty plan.

PAT UTOMI TO MOBILIZE 7.2 MILLION  NIGERIANS FOR PROTEST AGAINST POLITICAL ELITE. - 24TH APRIL, 2025.

Pat Utomi, Professor of Political Economy, says he is working to mobilize 7.2 million Nigerians to converge on Abuja in protest against Nigeria’s political elite.

Utomi said the protest, tagged “FREEDOM CONVERGENCE”, is aimed at reclaiming the country from “entrenched systems of state capture and self-serving leadership”.

“The government don’t want people’s voices to be raised and that is why Nigerians have to take back their country,” he said.

A Catholic bishop in Nsukka, Bishop Onah, is known for a particular homily in which he says ‘a country that the leaders don’t fear their people is as good as dead,’ and that is true.

“The political class now has complete and total contempt for the Nigerian people.”

“Democracy is supposed to be our people raising their voices,” he said.

“Something has gone fundamentally wrong with that democracy. It cannot be called a democracy anymore and so we need to make it a democracy.

“We need to begin to express ourselves and to make sure the people know that they are the bosses, they own the country.”

He said the planned convergence will be a month-long process and not just a one-day protest.

“An expression that is loud that the world can hear of the voice of the Nigerian people that ‘enough is enough’ is a critical one if we want this process to remain democratic,” he said.

“So we have chosen to get together to express ourselves. It is not just one protest, it is a process, I mean the demonstration itself or the converge on Abuja.

The process will take nearly one month. It started now already. We’re looking at about the 1st of December and between now and then, activity moving towards that will be taking place all across Nigeria.”

He said various programs such as concerts and colloquia will be held in the weeks leading to the Abuja protest to sensitize Nigerians on their rights.

“Just the way the Martin Luther King and co march on Washington in 1964 took place.

“We will have activities in Maiduguri, activities in Sokoto, activities in Yenagoa, activities in Asaba, in Ado Ekiti, and then progressively in convoys, in trailers, the people will start moving towards Abuja and converge all in green white green.

“We have a right as citizens to protest. If they try to stop us, somebody may stop them. Let them be sure of that.”

TINUBU’S MID-TERM CRIME STATISTICS.

Not less than 106 people were killed in gun attacks on vulnerable citizens in both Benue and Plateau States in the month of April 2025 alone when Mr. President was away on “working visits to France and Britain”!

Between  2024-2025, his second year in office hundreds of people have also been killed in five terrorist attacks described as  very deadly and whereas he is only focused on an INORDINATE AMBITION that will eventually drown him because the ARMY WILL DESERT HIM!

ONE HOUSE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IS THE WAY OUT!

EGYPTIANS WILL FIGHT EGYPTIANS – EL RUFAI VERSUS TINUBU! (ISAIAH 19:2).

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 600 20th April 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

EGYPTIANS WILL FIGHT EGYPTIANS – EL RUFAI VERSUS TINUBU! (ISAIAH 19:2).

(EASTER EDITION)

[THIS EASTER EDITION 2025 IS OUR 600TH WEEKLY PUBLICATION – (2013-2025) - PRAISE JEHOVAH].

“And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

The phrase “Egyptian against Egyptian” in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible refers to Isaiah 19:2, in which the  prophesy was highlighted that the Lord would incite the Egyptians to fight against one another. 

That there would be a period of internal conflict and division within Egypt, when they will be incensed against one another for idolatry and flagrantly disobeying God’s commandments but their would be a respite. (Read the entire chapter).

EL RUFAI IN FRUSTRATION PLAYS THE BROKEN RECORD FOR TINUBU WHILE THE CITIZENS KEEP SUFFERING!

“Tinubu running most corrupt, intolerant government ever, says el-rufai.” – The Cable. April 16, 2025.

Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, says the President Bola Tinubu administration is the “worst and most corrupt” in Nigeria’s history.

El-Rufai spoke in Katsina on Monday night during an interview with journalists.

He also described the government as the most intolerant since Nigeria returned to civil rule in 1999.

“This is the worst federal government in Nigerian history and all the indices have shown it,” he said.

This is the most corrupt and most intolerant government in Nigeria. This is the most lying government that depends on false propaganda.”

He accused the federal government of spreading falsehoods about the country’s security situation.

They lied that security has improved in Nigeria. They read out numbers of bandits killed except the ones we know are the leading bandits,” he said.

“In Kaduna, Dogo Gide is still around, Mallam Abba, the Boko Haram terrorist, is still alive. Bello Turji is still around but every day, they announce names of people that are bandits’ leaders that they have killed and security has improved.”

El-Rufai said insecurity persists in many parts of the country because the federal government has failed to address the root causes of the crisis.

“How many local governments are under the occupation of bandits in Katsina state? How many are occupied by bandits in Zamfara state and some parts of Sokoto state?” he asked.

“And because you are in government you think that nothing would happen?”

He added that the Social Democratic Party (SDP) will wrest power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

EL RUFAI – POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK!

 Tinubu publicly forced El Rufai to promise he would work with him if he won the 2023 Presidential Election but reneged and Rufai is now very bitter, enraged and angry!

El Rufai in his eight-year tenure as Kaduna State Governor will be remembered as a religious bigot, a fanatical tribalist of the Fulani stock, an addicted sadist who employed State power and machinery to destroy his bosom friends properties with relish while relying on IMMUNITY!

EL Rufai openly supported rampaging Fulani herdsmen to destroy farmlands in Christian-dominated Southern Kaduna but pretended that he paid ransoms severally to the foreign herdsmen whose cattle were killed while grazing in private farmlands!

El Rufai always turned round to backstab all political heavyweights who brought him into limelight right from the time he was appointed Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), now it is Tinubu’s turn!

HEADLINE INFLATION FIGURES KEEP SKYROCKETING DUE TO RECKLESS RECURRENT EXPENDITURES AND INSECURITY!

Meanwhile Nigerians grapple with fresh inflation figures while Mr President Tinubu and his entourage are junketing the globe and lavishing BORROWED FUNDS from Paris, France and now to London where he has transferred THE SEAT OF NIGERIA’S GOVERNMENT in the past THREE WEEKS – from Wednesday 2nd April 2025 till after the Easter Public Holidays on Tuesday 22nd April, 2025, all things being equal!

Executive Summary On Fresh Inflation - National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

In January 2024, the headline inflation rate increased to 29.90% relative to the December 2023 headline inflation rate which was 28.92%. Looking at the movement, the January 2024 headline inflation rate showed an increase of 0.98% points when compared to the December 2023 headline inflation rate. Similarly, on a year-on-year basis, the headline inflation rate was 8.08% points higher compared to the rate recorded in January 2023, which was 21.82%.

This shows that the headline inflation rate (year-on-year basis) increased in January 2024 when compared to the same month in the preceding year (i.e., January 2023). Furthermore, on a month-on-month basis, the headline inflation rate in January 2024 was 2.64%, which was 0.35% higher than the rate recorded in December 2023 (2.29%). This means that in January 2024, the rate of increase in the average price level is more than the rate of increase in the average price level in December 2023. 

Headline inflation refers to the overall rate of inflation in an economy, encompassing a broad basket of goods and services, including volatile items like food and energy. It is a comprehensive measure of price increases and is often closely related to shifts in the cost of living. 

Furthermore, on a month-on-month basis, the Headline inflation rate in March 2025 was 3.90 per cent, which was 1.85 per cent higher than the rate recorded in February 2025 (2.04 per cent). This means that in March 2025, the rate of increase in the average price level is higher than the rate of increase in the average price level in February 2025.”

The statistics office noted that the major drivers of the year-on-year inflation rate were food and non-alcoholic beverages, which contributed 9.28 percentage points; followed by restaurants and, accommodation services (2.99 per cent), transport (2.47 per cent), and housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels (1.95 per cent).

Other divisions with notable contributions include education, health, clothing and footwear.

Food inflation stood at 21.79 per cent in March, up from 20.01 per cent in February.

On a monthly basis, food prices rose by 2.18 per cent, driven by price increases in fresh 

ginger, yellow gari, Ofada rice, honey, fresh pepper, potatoes, and plantain flour. The persistent rise in food prices continues to weigh heavily on household incomes and consumption patterns.

Core inflation, which excludes prices of volatile agricultural produce and energy, stood at 24.43 per cent year-on-year, with a month-on-month increase of 3.73 per cent, compared to 2.52 per cent recorded in February.

Inflation was higher in urban areas, where the year-on-year rate was 26.12 per cent, compared to 20.89 per cent in rural areas.

On a monthly basis, urban inflation rose by 3.96 per cent, while rural inflation increased by 3.73 per cent. The disparity highlights the greater vulnerability of urban consumers to price shocks, particularly in housing, transport, and service-related costs.

AND MEANWHILE TINUBU HAS MOVED ASO ROCK FROM PARIS TO LONDON WHILE HUMAN BLOOD FLOWS LIKE WATER ACROSS NIGERIA!

Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, has decried the persistent killings in parts of Nigeria, expressing frustration over what he described as the deafening silence from those in authority.

Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, has decried the persistent killings in parts of Nigeria, expressing frustration over what he described as the deafening silence from those in authority.

Speaking during a Special Service at the Glory Dome in Abuja, the cleric recalled receiving a heartbreaking call from a village pastor shortly before the service.

Lamenting the worsening insecurity, Enenche questioned the failure of leadership to address the situation, asking why blood continues to spill with no meaningful action from those responsible for protecting lives.

You have your farmland and some people come to uproot cassava to feed their animals, and you ask why? They waste your blood on your father’s land. What did we do in this country to warrant this?” he asked.

Blood flowing like water in Plateau State, Benue State, and others. What evil did we do in this country that we have not had the solution to this matter?”

When will we have people there that will have heart for people? That will sit up and make legislation. That will eliminate the wastage of blood in this land. Why is blood flowing like water? And nobody is saying anything,” he said.

RESURRECTION IS RESTORATION TO LIFE!

If President Bola Tinubu is sick, may the Lord forgive his sins and restore him to good health that he may return and discharge his constitutional duties.

Nigerians did not “elect him to govern from Paris and London!

 PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IS THE WAY OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE!

“TELL YOUR PAPA” WAS SUNG ACROSS NIGERIA BEFORE EEDRIS ABDULKAREEM!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

 A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria.  {Vol. 14. NO 599. 13th April 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

“TELL YOUR PAPA” WAS SUNG ACROSS NIGERIA BEFORE EEDRIS ABDULKAREEM!

The blanket ban placed on the controversial record label titled “Tell Your Papa”, a chartbuster song by veteran artiste Eedris Abdulkareem would not have warranted  a sledge hammer from the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission NBC), if its directors had not been sleeping on duty!

In fact, the lyrics of the new release which condemned citizens socio-economic disorders of extraneous intensity in hardships and massive sufferings since the advent of Seyi Tinubu’s Papa from his investiture (29th May 2023), till date, had been a sing- song on all lips across Nigeria!

The nation-wide #EndBadGovernance Protesters in August 2024, sang the song before about 18 of them were permanently silenced by Army and Police bullets according to Amnesty International – and  have relegated to history as UNSUNG HEROES OF TINUBU’S 

SUPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT!

 Before August 2024, Lagos residents chanted and chorused a song: “EBI N’PAWA O” as Tinubu’s  entourage of dozens of foreign SUVs intimidated all other road users on their way to the Mosque on busy Fridays!

THE NIGERIAN PATRIOTS – A group of eminent and respectable Senior Citizens, led by Chief Emeka Anyanoku in August 2024 also sang the same song to President Bola Tinubu in ASO ROCK, all those lyrics fell out deaf ears!

WAS THE NIGERIA BROADCASTING COMMISSION ON SABBATICAL SINCE 29TH MAY 2023?

ENTERTAINMENT AND OIL INDUSTRIES ARE NIGERIA’S UNTOUCHABLE ECONOMIC BROKERS!

The two major Nigerian foreign exchange earner industries and highest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are undisputable the oil and entertainment industries followed closely by Agricultural Products.

The Nigerian entertainment industry significantly contributes to the nation’s economy through job creation, GDP growth, revenue generation, attracting foreign investment, and promoting local talent. 

This sector which includes Nollywood, music, and other creative industries, is a major employer of labor, providing jobs for millions of Nigerian film actors, skit makers, music exponents, artists of all genres etc. Nollywood has the acclaimed recognition as the world’s second-largest film industry after the legendary United States Hollywood and by volume, contributes significantly to national GDP. The overall entertainment and media sector also makes a substantial impact, with projections indicating further growth in the coming years. 

The industry boosts Nigeria’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), through various channels, including box office sales, streaming subscriptions, music downloads, advertising, etc This revenue contributes to economic growth and development and fostering greater interest amongst local artistes, attracting foreign tourism through artistic creativity and cultural identity.

VETERAN SONG ARTISTE EEDRIS ABDULKAREEM BURSTS TINUBU’S  BUBBLES!

Recently a major key player in the entertainment industry sector  Eedris Abdulkareem released a  hit song titled , “Tell Your Papa”, the lyrics which instructs the President’s Son, Seyi Tinubu to warn his father on the consequences of bad governance!

But the song was quickly prohibited by the National Broadcasting Commission due to content inappropriateness!

And while public outcry against the unpopular ban has gained momentum on the social media, internet, the tube and radio stations the Socio-economic Rights Accountability Project (SERAP), has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government and the National Broadcasting Commission to reverse the ban on Eedris Abdulkareem’s latest protest song, “Tell Your Papa.”

The organisation made this known in a post via its official X handle on Thursday, hours after NBC placed a ban on the protest song, which is critical of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

SERAP described the ban as unlawful and a violation of the Nigerian artist’s right to freedom of expression.

The organization, therefore, warned of impending legal action if the directive is not rescinded within the stipulated timeframe.

The post reads, “The Tinubu administration must immediately reverse the unlawful ban by the National Broadcasting Commission stopping Nigerian radio and TV stations from airing Eedris Abdulkareem’s new single.

“We’ll see in court if the ban is not reversed within 48 hours.”

PUNCH Online reports that NBC, in a memo dated April 9, 2025, and signed by the Coordinating Director of Broadcast Monitoring, Susan Obi, declared the song not to be broadcast.

The Commission cited Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which prohibits materials deemed offensive or against public decency.

The memo titled “Restriction on broadcasting ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem” reads, “The National Broadcasting Commission has identified the song ‘Tell Your Papa’ by Eedris Abdulkareem, currently trending on social media, as content deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to its objectionable nature.

“It is therefore classified as Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB), as it violates Section 3.1.8 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code. 

The commission requests that your station exercises discretion and refrains from airing this song to maintain responsible broadcasting standards.”

However, the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria has strongly criticised NBC for banning the protest song.

 PMAN President, Pretty Okafor, argued that NBC’s decision to ban the song could backfire by inadvertently boosting its popularity, especially given the growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians over the country’s economic challenges.

Abdulkareem, who is known for his socially conscious and politically conscious music, has rejected the ban placed on his song. The rapper and singer has always used his songs to comment on governance, corruption, and social justice.

His latest track, “Tell Your Papa,” criticises the Tinubu’s administration over the current economic hardship and governance failure. Also, Prof. Pat Utomi, a leader of the Labour Party (LP), respond His reaction was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Friday.

According to VANGUARD, the National Broadcasting Commission banned the song after it was described as a content deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to its objectionable nature. 

Reacting after the report surfaced online, Pat Utomi condemned the decision of NBC to ban the song. Utomi said the musician sang a similar song under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo. He said what Obasanjo did was that he abused him in return.

This censorship is abuse of the constitution as the military takeover of Rivers. When Eedris sang a similar song under Obasanjo, all that the former soldier assumed dictator did was abuse Eedris

UNDISPUTABLE RELEVANCE OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY IN NIGERIA.

The entertainment industry in Nigeria significantly contributes to the country’s economy through various avenues, including direct GDP contributions and job creation. Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, is the world’s second-largest, generating substantial revenue. In 2023, motion picture and music recording contributed approximately $197.6 million dollars to Nigeria’s GDP.

 The industry also directly supports jobs, with reports indicating that Netflix alone supported 5,140 jobs in 2023. 

The National President of Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria, Mr Bolaji Amusan, also disclosed to journalists in January, 2025, that the Entertainment Industry contributed N145 billion naira to GDP and has created 4.2 million jobs.

And there are postulations from government quarters that Nigeria’s entertainment sector should hit $13.6 billion dollar revenue mark by 2028 and yet a sloven Agency like the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission just woke up from slumber to claim relevance.

WHAT A SHAME?

Tinubu should put his house in order instead of continuously washing his dirty linens in the public and embarrassing Nigerians at home and the Diaspora!

PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IS THE WAY OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE AS DEMANDED BY THE CITIZENS!

Tinubu should come out of his hiding in Paris, France and declare if he is still fit to run the government of Nigeria beyond 29th May 2025!

“A stitch in time saves nine.”

NIGERIA IS ANGLOPHONE – TINUBU IS NOT FRENCH!

   ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.

 

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 598. 7th April 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

NIGERIA IS ANGLOPHONE – TINUBU IS NOT FRENCH!

Before he became the Nigerian President in May 2023, Tinubu had always patronized French Hospitals for medical checks and it is no surprise that he is now stuck!

Although his handlers never admitted that he has health issues just like his predecessor, his incessant visits to Paris, France had always been “official or working visits”!

He has traveled to France on six different occasions, spent a total of 51 days outside of the country on tax payers monies.

Bayo Onanuga, Presidential Spokesman says that his principal could only “think out of the box” when in Paris!

Tinubu’s obsession for France is of national concern considering the economic depletion of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), each time he embarked on each “official” tour!

BREAKING NEWS:

President Bola Tinubu has departed Abuja on Wednesday 2nd April on a working visit to Paris, France.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga.

Mr Onanuga said the President would appraise his administration’s mid-term performance and assess key milestones.

He would also be using the retreat to review the progress of ongoing reforms and engage in strategic planning ahead of his administration’s second anniversary.

President Tinubu “will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities”, the statement said.

“Recent economic strides reinforce the President’s commitment to these efforts, as evidenced by the Central Bank of Nigeria reporting a significant increase in net foreign exchange reserves to $23.11 billion—a testament to the administration’s fiscal reforms since 2023 when net reserves were $3.99 billion,” it continued.

While away, President Tinubu will remain fully engaged with his team and continue to oversee governance activities, it also announced.

President Tinubu would be returning to Abuja in about a fortnight.”

NIGERIA ‘S TRADE WITH FRANCE.

In 2023, Nigeria’s exports to France totaled US$4.26 billion, with mineral fuels, oils, and distillation products making up the majority, while France imported US$4.75 billion worth of goods from Nigeria, according to Trading Economics.

Nigeria’s exports to France are heavily reliant on crude oil, with mineral fuels making up a significant portion of the trade.

France is among the top destinations for Nigeria’s exports, alongside countries like the Netherlands, Spain, India, and Indonesia.

ANALYSIS BY WIKKITIMES ON TINUBU’S INCESSANT TRIPS TO FRANCE!

“Tinubu Spends Over N630 Million Fueling His Jet For Six Trips to France.

Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has travelled to Paris, France, six times, set to spend a total of 51 days there, with the current 14-day trip inclusive costing

Current 14-day trip inclusive costing over N630 million in aviation fuel.

With the current price of aviation fuel in Nigeria currently around N980 per litre, this means N630,806,400 has been spent solely on jet fuel for these trips.

While government officials describe these visits as either official, economic, or private, critics argue that the frequent trips lack transparency and are burdening Nigeria’s economy at a time when the country is grappling with severe economic hardship.

As President, Tinubu travelled to Paris on June 20, 2023, for five days and went back on June 24, 2024, for 14 days. He visited again on August 19, 2024, for five days.

Had another trip to Paris again on November 27, 2024, lasting five days, followed by an eight-day visit on February 5, 2025. His current trip adds another 14 days to this tally.

Nigeria is currently facing economic distress, with inflation at rate 23.18 percent and the naira depreciating against major foreign currencies.

Citizens are grappling with high food prices, fuel subsidy removal, and an increase in electricity tariffs.

Tinubu’s repeated visits to France remain shrouded in secrecy, fueling speculations that he is using public funds for private health concerns without transparency.

Many Nigerians lack access to basic medical facilities, with underpaid doctors and a worsening brain drain in the health sector.

Also, with 51 days to be spent in France alone in 20 months, Tinubu has spent nearly one-twelfth of his time in office outside Nigeria.”

THIS KIND OF AUDACITY WILL NEVER HAPPEN IN A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY!

Shortly after his investiture as President of Nigeria in 2023, Bola Tinubu was elected Chairman of the Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS), dominated by French and Portuguese Nations while he could hardly grapple with the economic mess he had created with the removal of Fuel Subsidy and the complete destabilization of the Foreign Exchange architecture!

In a Parliament Democracy, he would have been blocked by the Opposition because it was diversionary and a ploy to take advantage of Nigeria’s mismanaged economy of consecutive administrations – military and civilian!

UNDER TINUBU’S WATCH ECOWAS HAS DISINTEGRATED!

Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS; also known as CEDEAO in French and Portuguese) is a regional political and economic union of twelve countries of West Africa.

The stated goal of ECOWAS is to achieve “collective self-sufficiency” for its member states by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.

ECOWAS currently has 12 member states: five French-speaking, five English-speaking, and two Portuguese-speaking. All current members joined the community as founding members in May 1975, except Cape Verde which joined in 1977.

When Bola Tinubu took over, Niger was suspended from ECOWAS after the 2023 coup d’état and threatened with military intervention if President Mohamed Bazoum is not restored to office, causing the Nigerien crisis.

 Additionally, ECOWAS closed all land and air borders between other member states and Niger and instituted a no-fly zone on all commercial flights to and from Niger. The suspension removed all commercial and financial transactions and froze Niger’s assets in ECOWAS central banks.

On 16 September 2023, Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso formed a military alliance, the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), following ECOWAS’s threat to intervene to restore civilian rule in Niger.

 On 21 November 2023, Niger’s military government asked the ECOWAS regional court to order the lifting of sanctions imposed on the country. Until the coup, aid from countries like the United States and international organizations like ECOWAS accounted for almost half of Niger’s annual budget.

Following Niger’s ECOWAS suspension, Niger’s neighbors closed their borders to the country and 70 percent of its electricity, coming from Nigeria, was cut off.

NIGERIAN PRESIDENT TINUBU IN FRANCE AS SAHEL JUNTA MINISTERS VISIT RUSSIA.

Bola Tinubu, President of Nigeria, a country seen as a Western ally, has headed for France on a working visit. Meanwhile, foreign ministers from the junta-led states of Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso are visiting Moscow to strengthen ties with Russia. Tinubu’s two-week trip to France, however, is not a conventional diplomatic outreach. Instead, the president calls it a “retreat” for self-reflection on his administration’s performance. France remains his most frequently visited destination—the same France that has been ousted from several West African nations. Tinubu’s visit coincides with a high-profile trip by foreign ministers from Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger to Russia. These three countries have abandoned the West-backed regional bloc ECOWAS, of which Nigeria’s Tinubu is the current chair.

IS TINUBU NOT A CONFUSED MAN RUNNING FROM PILLAR TO POST?

Contrary to his handlers propaganda of improved economy, the apex Central Bank Report says – Economy Has Failed Under TINUBU!

Excerpts show that Nigerian Economy Under Tinubu fails to meet revenue target in 2024 .

“The report dated 31st March 2025, further noted that the “FGN retained revenue was 10.40% higher than in the preceding quarter but remained significantly below the target, standing 48.57% short of the expected figure.”

“According to the document “federally collected revenue saw a 5.31% increase compared to the previous quarter, though it still fell short of the benchmark by 19.67%.”

“On the expenditure side, aggregate expenditure increased by 2.22% compared to Q3 2024, though it was 22.09% lower than the quarterly target. As a result, the fiscal deficit narrowed by 3.61% when compared to the previous quarter, but widened by 34.44% relative to the proportionate quarterly target,” the report read.

“Nigeria has struggled to fund its budget overtime, relying heavily on loans which has overtime led to high debt servicing figures.

“At end-September 2024, public debt stock remained within the 70.00 per cent threshold for Market-Access Countries,” the report read

“Total public debt outstanding stood at ₦142.32 trillion (51.29% of GDP), at end-September 2024, and was 5.97 per cent, higher than the level.”

TINUBU’S GOVERNMENT ON SANDY SOIL WILL COLLAPSE WITH THE BREWING STORM!

I am yours sincerely, THE WATCHMAN Dr. David B.A. Olufon, Resident Pastor and Editor. 08130669886, 08058436756. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.
