Opinion: Tinubunomics
1.Nigeria’s trade surplus soared by 44.31% in the second quarter of 2025, reaching ₦7,463.96 billion, according to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
2.Manufactured Goods export Jumped by 67 per cent in second quarter.

WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS TELL US :

These numbers tell us that Nigeria is no longer just importing and consuming—it is producing, exporting, and earning.

1. Manufacturing up 67%

This shows a major rebound in domestic production.

It means factories are producing more goods, which signals rising industrial capacity, job creation, and less reliance on imports.

It suggests government reforms (like forex adjustments, energy investments, and infrastructure push) are starting to pay off.

In plain terms: Nigeria is beginning to make more of what it consumes and even what it exports.

2. Trade surplus of $7.4 billion

A trade surplus means Nigeria is exporting more than it is importing.

This strengthens the naira, boosts foreign reserves, and builds investor confidence.

It also shows non-oil exports are growing alongside oil, diversifying the economy.

BIG PICTURE

Together, these figures tell a story of economic recovery and resilience.

Nigeria is producing more at home (manufacturing boom) and earning more abroad (trade surplus).

If sustained, it means more jobs, stronger currency stability, and higher growth momentum.

When Obasanjo (PDP) backed Adedibu (PDP) to illegally remove Ladoja (PDP) from office as governor of Oyo state using thugs to seat at the state house of assembly to impeach him after driving lawmakers away and Obasanjo providing security for them, it was Tinubu (ACN) in his second term that provided a cover for him in Lagos alongside most of the lawmakers from Oyo state.

His Royal Majesty Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja is now the Olubadan of Ibadan, the traditional ruler of the city with the highest population in the entire southern Nigeria in a state with the largest land mass also in the south and capital of the old western region.

Ibadan, ilu Ojo, ilu Ajayi, ilu Ogunmola kerikeri l'ogun. Ibadan ile Oluyole, omo ajagbin, je 'karahun. Ibadan, maja maja, to fi kara 'waju l'eru.

Tony Elumelu and Africapitalism
Tony Elumelu is not just a banker; he is a visionary. After leading United Bank for Africa into 20 countries, he launched the Tony Elumelu Foundation in 2010. Through his idea of “Africapitalism,” he argued that African entrepreneurs, not aid, would drive the continent’s growth. His foundation trains and funds thousands of young entrepreneurs each year. Elumelu’s story shows how one man can shift the narrative from dependency to self-reliance. He made business a tool for transformation.

Omoyele Sowore:
Omoyele Sowore is a Nigerian human rights activist, pro-democracy campaigner, and politician whose life has been defined by his commitment to justice and accountability. Born on February 16, 1971, in Ondo State, Nigeria, Sowore grew up during a period of military rule, which shaped his passion for activism. While studying Geography and Regional Planning at the University of Lagos, he became deeply involved in student unionism, serving as President of the Student Union Government from 1992 to 1994. During this time, he organized protests against corruption, poor living conditions, and the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election. His activism often brought him into conflict with the authorities, leading to repeated arrests and harassment.

In 2006, Sowore founded Sahara Reporters, an online news platform dedicated to exposing corruption, human rights abuses, and government misconduct in Nigeria. Operating from New York, the platform gained credibility for publishing evidence-based investigative reports that challenged the secrecy of political elites and gave voice to ordinary Nigerians.

Sowore later transitioned into formal politics. In 2018, he launched the African Action Congress (AAC) and contested the 2019 Nigerian presidential election, campaigning on an agenda of anti-corruption, economic reform, and youth empowerment. Despite not winning, his candidacy energized many young Nigerians seeking change.

In 2019, after organizing the protests, Sowore was arrested and detained by Nigeria’s Department of State Services, sparking global outcry over repression of dissent. His story reflects courage, resilience, and an enduring belief in democracy and good governance.
