How Nigeria has retrogressed under the APC In every imaginable index of human development:
The entire credit for this work goes to Professor Farooq Kperogi @farooqkperogi
*Under APC, Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world.
*While APC has been in power, the International Police Science Association’s and the Institute for Economics and Peace’s World Internal Security and Police Index also shows that Nigeria’s police service is the worst in Africa and in the world.
*Under APC we became the third most terrorized country on earth.
*Nigeria’s APC government was ranked the second worst in the world in “government integrity” in 2018 by the US-based Heritage Foundation. Only the Venezuelan government is worse than it.
*In Oxfam’s and Development Finance International (DFI)’s global ranking of “Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index,” Nigeria was ranked 157 out of 157 countries.

*An analysis published by the Coalition for Whistleblowers Protection and Press Freedom showed that “Under Buhari,
Nigeria records [the] worst attacks on journalists in 34 years,” according to Premium Times.

*And, in spite of the APC government’s tiresomely sanctimonious noises about “anti-corruption,” Nigeria has consistently regressed in Transparency International’s corruption perception
index since the current regime came to power.
*According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, when APC came to power in May 2015, youth unemployment was 13.7 percent. By July 2017, it climbed to 33.1 percent. It increased to 53.40 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2020, up from 40.80 percent in the second quarter of 2020, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, a government agency.
That’s one of the worst statistics of youth unemployment you can find anywhere in the world. Yet when Arise TV interviewed Buhari on June 10, 2021,
he evinced perverse joy in saying that there are no more vacancies, jobs, or contracts in federal, state, and local governments. He ended by saying, with malignant glee, “So, you may have a good degree, but you may DIE WITHOUT EVEN A JOB!" What kind of person derives joy when the
people he supposedly leads writhe in existential torment?

*In the World Bank’s “Global Economic prospect” report for 2022, it said “Nigeria’s economy under the Muhammadu Buhari administration is worse than 10 years ago,” according to the Peoples Gazette’s reporting,which every
Nigeria already knows.
The list is endless. No decent country on earth would reward the gang of incompetent know-nothings who presided over such an irrecoverable state of devastation and destruction of a country with continuity in governance
-By Professor Kperogi @farooqkperogi
ME: Misery Index, compiled by the respected CATO Institute, places Nigeria at #6 on the list of the 95 most miserable countries in the world in 2019 (reported in 2020). This sad position highlights the failures of the Buhari administration to mitigate insecurity, corruption,
unemployment and inflation.

''In the eighties, Onitsha traders became frustrated and stood up against armed robbers and touts terrorizing and robbing the city. They formed a movement nicknamed Boys Oye to flush the criminals disturbing their businesses out.
In the nineties, Aba traders,
after they have had enough of the nuisance of the armed robbers and touts terrorizing the city, formed Bakassi Boys movement.
We all know what the results of those movements were. Criminals terrorizing the cities and markets were dealt with and flushed out.
There is a limit to
what a people can tolerate_to how much you can bully and frustrate them_with time, they will turn around to proclaim that enough is enough and push back.
Those who are imposing and enforcing the self-destructive sit-at-home orders across Igboland may soon feel the frustrations

''YOU GUYS SHOULD ALLOW SOLUDO TO PICK HIS TEAM AS HE LIKES AND DEEMS FIT OBJECTIVELY .
👉It is shocking that folks from Imo and Abia , the two worst ruled states in the history of Nigeria are the ones attacking Soludo and questioning the rationale behind his decision to subject
those , who want to join his executive team to written and oral tests .
👉If First Class Graduates and top executives of companies with turnover of over $20billion and staff strength of over 67,000 people are made to write aptitude tests and oral interviews before they are
engaged, what is the big deal in asking would be ordinary commissioners and aides of a governor to undergo the same test?
👉See, the position of a commissioner is not more than that of a manager/team lead in a Bank or shell or Chevron
👉What do you guys understand about written

JIGAWA: A STATE WHERE A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CANNOT COMMUNICATE IN ENGLISH
By Bashir Aliyu Limanci
Jigawa state, despite heavy investment in education still lags behind other states when it comes to literacy rates. I did my national service in Hadejia from 2014 to 2015.
I don't know whether the situation has improved, but most of the teachers in Hadejia did not qualify to teach. If El-Rufai were the governor of the state, many a teacher would be flunked out. From the day I left Hadejia, not a single teacher from Aminu Yusuf Secondary School
could speak English for five minutes, not even the principal and her two vice principals. I was always a translator for the vice principal admin whenever he was about to talk to my fellow corps members who could not speak the Hausa language. Assembly was exclusively in Hausa and

''TINUBU DID NOT MAKE THEM, HE EXPLOITED THEM*
By Ayo Turton
What human capital has Tinubu developed gan an? I am sick and tired of hearing this argument.
Let's break this down. At best, Tinubu's relationship with these guys has been symbiotic in the best scenario for him.
Was it Tinubu that made Osinbajo the Professor he is, or Tinubu needed his brain to run his government?
When he got jammed up with Obasanjo, it was Osinbajo that came up with a legal solution for him and they won serially in courts.
For your information, Tinubu was against his
becoming the VP. He reluctantly agreed when he had no choice.
Was it Tinubu that made Fashola Senior Advocate of Nigeria?
He only tapped into Fashola's brain to make his government look good. The benefit was mutual. The moment Fashola's profile started rising above his own as

An elderly Nigerian walks into a bank and asks for a N50,000 loan.
Manager: What are you going to do with the money?
Old man: I'm going to go into the city and sell my agricultural products.
Manager: Do you have collateral?
Old man: What's collateral?
Manager: Collateral is something of value that can cover the amount of the loan. For example, do you have a car?
Old man: Yes, I have an old pick-up
Manager: That won't do. Do you have a landed property?
Old man: Yes, I do.
Manager: Do you have the papers for it?
Old man: Yes.
After some negotiations, the old man and the manager settle on collateral. The manager does all the paperwork and gives the old man N50,000
A few weeks later, the old man returns to the bank, walks up to the same manager , takes out a huge wad of bills and returns the loan.

''I hope you know a very poor nation with 200 million people can still erect a mega rice pyramid?
The question is, has the rice gone round everybody to say it is truly surplus and therefore affordable?
I hope you know we can gather 1,000 private jets together in one place and
snap a photo of them to show that Nigerians have arrived?
Does that then mean everybody can afford one?
Even a land with multi-dimensional poverty can create an illusion of plenty.
What speaks the undiluted truth is the number of averages and actual experience on ground.
Yemen is a dirt poor country but the day they decide to fool themselves with their onions they will erect sky-scraper pyramids with it.
In any case, the intellect that can sincerely create food surplus, will not stay idle while insecurity threatens the corporate existence of the
