Between March 2024 and May 2025, Nigerian federal and state governments received a total of N1.6 trillion from the Federal Government to support infrastructure development and security efforts. These disbursements aimed to address critical infrastructure gaps and insecurity across the country, funded through non-oil revenue savings.

Despite the substantial funds allocated, questions remain about their effective utilization. Critics, including civil society leaders, have expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and accountability in how the money is spent at the state level. The ongoing political focus on the 2027 elections has also raised fears that public funds are being diverted for political gains rather than development.

This financial intervention is part of broader efforts following the removal of petrol subsidies and exchange rate adjustments, designed to improve Nigerians' living standards and boost economic growth. However, the impact of these funds on infrastructure and security remains uncertain amid ongoing public scrutiny.

This analysis exposes the ongoing political turmoil in Rivers State, highlighting Nyesom Wike’s aggressive tactics to maintain control. Since Fubara’s assumption of office in May 2023, Wike has allegedly incited violence and destabilized governance through loyalists and sabotage, including the October 2023 Assembly complex bombing. Wike’s actions reveal a desire for dominance rather than genuine leadership.

President Tinubu’s so-called ‘peace agreement’ with Wike and Fubara in June 2025 is portrayed as a political manipulation. It allegedly forced Fubara to surrender authority and abstain from 2027 elections, undermining democratic principles by suspending constitutional governance. This move is seen as an authoritarian attempt to secure electoral gains at the expense of Rivers’ democracy.

Fubara, accused of weakness and capitulation, is criticized for accepting the imposed terms instead of fighting legally. His rise to power is linked to Wike’s rigging, and his current stance is viewed as a betrayal of his mandate. Wike’s accusations of disloyalty are challenged, pointing out his own history of betrayal against political allies. The piece warns that Wike’s influence is temporary and transactional, with his relevance ending after 2027. The crisis in Rivers State is framed as a tragic outcome of ambition, betrayal, and cowardice, leaving the people to suffer the consequences.

Kenneth Okonkon made a humorous remark about political security, claiming that if he were Fubara, he wouldn't leave the Government House unless taken out in a body bag. He seemed to suggest that occupying a building doesn't equate to being in government, as the government can operate from anywhere, even a hotel lobby.

However, some believe his joke is unrealistic. They argue that authorities can easily secure a facility by withdrawing security personnel, leaving it vulnerable to intruders, including area boys, who could potentially drag someone out without repercussions.

The discussion highlights the importance of understanding security protocols in government operations. Critics feel Kenneth should think more carefully before making such jokes, implying he might still be in the entertainment world rather than politics.

Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has issued a warning to northern Nigerians regarding their support for Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election. He cautioned that backing Obi could lead to marginalization similar to the fate of Northern Cameroon after President Ahmadou Ahidjo's resignation in 1982.

He praised President Bola Tinubu for his loyalty and integrity, recalling Tinubu’s support for Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential bids, which Omokri credits as instrumental to Buhari’s victory. Omokri also questioned Obi’s stance on issues affecting the North, such as his silence on IPOB’s sit-at-home protests, and criticized Obi’s choice of campaign coordinators, especially in Sokoto and Lagos, where he appointed Christian and non-Muslim coordinators in predominantly Islamic areas.

As Nigeria approaches 2025, the government has introduced a comprehensive set of tax laws aimed at modernizing and simplifying the country's tax system. Led by President Tinubu, these reforms promise digitalization, fairness, and increased revenue collection.

However, Nigeria’s tax journey has always reflected deeper issues of governance, regional disparities, and trust. From colonial origins to recent digital initiatives, each step reveals the complex balance between economic growth and social equity.

The success of these reforms depends on transparent implementation and regional inclusivity. Only then can Nigeria truly turn a new page in its fiscal history and foster a more equitable economy.

After spending a few days observing Nigeria's current state, I believe urgent action is needed to improve emergency services and access to education. Many families struggle with inadequate healthcare facilities, such as ambulances and fire services, and are burdened by high educational costs.

To address these issues, I propose a comprehensive funding plan. This includes a 10% tax on all salaries, a diaspora passport renewal fee, insurance taxes for foreign workers, and a 4% profit tax for organizations operating in Nigeria. The revenue generated will be invested in upgrading hospitals, acquiring ambulances, air ambulances, and fire trucks, all within five years.

Implementing this plan can create over 20 million jobs, reduce poverty, and elevate Nigeria to a global superpower. It’s a bold vision to transform lives and build a healthier, more educated nation.
