President Tinubu’s Penchant For Foreign Loans.

By Abdu Labaran Malumfashi.
16-9-2025.

SPEAKER of the House of Representatives, Right Honourable Tajudeen Abbas and the Minister of Finance, Wale Edun expressed opposing views over Nigeria’s debt profile which is currently N149.39 trillion, and counting.

THE Minister of Finance, we should remember, was Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commissioner of Finance for eight years, when the later held sway as the Governor of Lagos State. Together, the duo r***d the treasury of the richest state in Nigeria, catapulting the former governor to a billionaire status. Edun, on the other hand, made what he was allowed to make from the state treasury, and finished it in no time after the tenure of the governor ended.

THE two have connected again, making their previous association a child’s play to what they are NOW financially milking the country from the NATION’S EXCHEQUER, as president of the country and the Minister of Finance of the country, respectively.

IT would appear that the president and the minister of finance are NOT serving anyone but themselves, as are most appointees in the present regime. They look to be doing a great job, at the detriment of their motherland, Nigeria.

THE minister has severally claimed that the country’s debt was nothing to get worried about. He always says the economic policies of the the present regime are working so much to the extent that Nigeria had settled all its debts with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But the bank quickly DISMISSED the claim, INSISTING that Nigeria still OWES it N190 billion.

BUT Nigerians have everything to worry about, given that President Tinubu inherited from his immediate predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, a debt of $67 billion, which he took to $167 billion (N149.39 trillion) WITHIN JUST TWO years. And he does NOT appear to be done yet, because of his PENCHANT for LOANS (Foreign and local).

THE Lagos-based Punch newspaper, which calls itself ‘the most widely read newspaper’ in the country, on 3/8/2025 reported the President as saying that, “2025 revenue target met, no more borrowing’. But two days later, on 5/8/2025, the same newspaper (Punch) reported that ‘FG seeks fresh $1.75bn World Bank loan’, which is the third in as many months this year, sparking the spat between the 59-year old Speaker Tajudeen Abbas and the 69-year old Minister of Finance, Edun Wale.

IN an apparent answer to the Finance minister’s false claims, the Speaker spoke boldly without mincing words saying that the debt situation of the country is disturbing.

HE made his statement during the 11th Annual Conference and General Assembly of the West Africa Association of Public Accounts Committees (WAAPAC) in Abuja Monday before the last, describing the debt situation as alarming and verging on a crisis level.

“N149.39 trillion (about $97 billion)”, according to him, is way too high for comfort, and “This is no longer just a budgetary issue but a structural crisis” for which “We must strengthen oversight, embrace transparency, and ensure that every loan taken delivers tangible benefits to citizens.”

THE Speaker BOLDLY asserted that “Borrowing should be tied strictly to infrastructure, education, healthcare, and industries that create jobs,” stressing that “Reckless loans that fuel consumption or corruption must be exposed and rejected. Oversight is about lives and futures, not just figures.”

AND it was time someone told President Tinubu that enough is enough as far as loans are concerned. That, not only the present, but generations yet unborn, are already weighed down by debt, on account of the continued loans the current regime is taking from the Brenton Woods financial institutions of the US, among many other financial institutions in other countries.

THAT courageous and timely intervention by the Speaker of the Parliament, will save the National Assembly (NASS) from the unflattering prefix of ‘RUBBER STAMP’ that is usually used before the name ‘NASS’.

IT is a courageous thing to do at this time when, as I once stated, “SYCOPHANCY and living in the denial of the TRUTH, are the SURVIVAL tricks of the present CORRUPT and CLUELESS regime, which only lives on PROPAGANDA to ‘SHOWCASE’ its MINUS+ ACHIEVEMENTS since coming to power a little over two years ago (May 29, 2023).” To do otherwise is to invite the anger of the regime, during which it can do anything IRRATIONAL to the ‘no-sayer’.

TOGETHER with TWO others (described by some witty Nigerian as the THREE MUSKETEERS) Edun, gives the president advice on financial matters. And since the advice always appears to lead to the reverse progress of the country, the reader’s guess is as good as mine as to the whereabouts of the substantial part of what is borrowed. To all intents and purposes, it ends up in private accounts for self enrichment, NOT for the development of the nation.

THE two others are the CBN Governor, Mr. Olayemi Cardoso and the Executive Chairman, of the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), Dr. Zaccheus Adedeji.

AS a Finance Minister, Wale Edun is a TOTAL DISASTER whose tenure witness the COLLAPSE of the Nigerian Economy in all its ramifications. It is under his advice and watch that the PETROLEUM SUBSIDY was removed, as a result of which the country’s economy went into a free fall ever since. What is more, the proceeds of the money supposedly made disappeared to only God knows where.

I once had the DISPLEASURE of referring to the minister of Finance as an ‘Irredeemable Apologist’ in an article of the same name, which was written on 2-11-2024.

IN it, I quoted a woman who claimed to be the biological daughter of the president, Mrs. Adetoun Tinubu. She said that her father meant well for the country, but that the problem was that some of his close aides did not share the same vision with him.

ACCORDING to her, some of the aides appointed by her father are there only to make money for themselves, but not work for the country and its citizens, and that their priority is to enrich themselves by all means.

ALTHOUGH Adetoun Tinubu did not mention his name, those she cited as examples, work directly under his jurisdiction. The two she mentioned were the head the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Olayemi Cardoso and the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Pastor Mr. Olanipekun Olukayode. The two institutions generate and manage a large amount of money for the government of the country.

SHE alleged that the two men had been busy enriching themselves, instead of assisting the president to realise his dream of turning the economy of the country around, to be not only number one in Africa, but also to compete favourably with some of the best in the world.

THE Minister of Finance, under whose watch the severe economic climate in the country became increasingly unbearable, appeared to have been one of those who speaks to attract and impress his employer.

HE claimed in a trending video clip that all the hardships being faced by the citizens of the country were caused by past administrations, who failed to implement the economic reforms that were needed to straighten up the economy of the country.

MR. Wale Edun forgot that the hardship brought on the country was caused by their team of incompetent and clueless ‘experts’, which advises the president on economic matters in the country.

THE Finance minister keeps on shouting that the present regime has ‘saved $20 billion, but the regime keeps on borrowing from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), without telling the citizens of the country what was done with that money to warrant borrowing more.

THE misguided economic reforms, being carried out by the regime, are against the advice of well meaning people belonging to all the tribes in the country.

MAY God never allow the progression of President Tinubu to a second term in 2027. Nigerians, both at home and in the diaspora, do not want an ENCORE of the over bearing poverty, hunger and insecurity that were the only ‘achievements’ recorded during his first term of four years as the number one citizen in their country.

Say No To The Campaign Against Fuel?

By Abdu Labaran Malumfashi.
14-9-2025.

THERE is an ongoing campaign urging Nigerians to say ‘No to fuel’. But the campaign is ill motivated, because the target is the North. It is not being waged to save Nigeria from the short lifespan of Fossil Fuel, and prepare the country as for life after.

If the campaign is sincere, why did the present regime of Bola Ahmed Tinubu ‘spend billions of naira to repair’ the comatose Port Harcourt llrefinery, if it actually did. The doubt arose because of the instant collapse of the refinery soon after its alleged repair. Plus the declaration by many tanker drivers who went to the ‘repaired’ refinery and returned empty, because there was no fuel to load, as claimed with fanfare by the regime.

I am not supporting fossil fuel to remain the country’s primary source of income ad infinitum, but when the government’s campaign AGAINST if came immediately after it has supposedly spent billions of dollars to effect the repair of a refinery, then more questions will be raised about the motives behind the move.

THE Federal government wants every owner of fuel driven vehicle, be it a truck or a Keke NAPEP, to use gas engines. That may be alright for such users in Lagos and other places in the South, but certainly NOT alright for those living in the North. While the South has the gas filling stations dotting the place, the whole of such stations in the North can be counted on the fingers of the two hands.

Where then are Northerners going to find the gas to use in their tanks if they stupidly agree to ‘say no to fuel’?

THE whole scheme, it appears to me, is aimed at Dangote who has spent $22+ to build his gigantic one stream refinery, which the government wants to waste at all cost. It has tried many times in the past, including claiming falsely to repair the Port Harcourt Refinery, without success.

THERE is a write up I did on 28-11-2024, soon after the announcement of the commissioning of the ‘repaired’ Port Harcout refinery, with the title of ‘Dangote And Nigeria Owned Refineries’.

IN it I reported the President of the country, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as commissioning “the repaired government owned Port Harcourt refinery, where he was reported to have given the matching orders for the repairs of the remaining three refineries owned by the federal government.

“My worry is that the Tinubu led federal government is ONLY NOW bent on repairing the erstwhile comatose refineries, which have gulped untold billions of US dollars over the years in the name of repair. But the repair never came to be, despite the billions of dollars spent by the government.

“But Alhaji Aliko Dangote came to the rescue of the country by spending over $20 billion to build a state-of-the-art refinery. Presently, many attempts were made by the government, through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to kill the newly built Dangote 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity refinery, after it finally saw the light of the day, and sought for NNPC’s permission to start production for sale.

“The government alleged that the products, particularly petroleum, were sub standard, which quality ‘was not up to international standard’. But laboratory tests showed that the Dangote refinery products were among the best in the world. When that ploy failed, they tried other tricks, including hiking the price of one litre of petrol to more than one thousand naira, claiming that the price was ‘determined by market forces’.

“When that and other shenanigans of theirs too failed, repairs of the refineries remain the last option, hence the serious repair of the refineries, which kick-started with the repaired one in Port Harcourt.

“IT is very well, except that, would the president have ordered the repairs of the refineries if Aliko Dangote has not built his Lagos-based multi billion, one-stream refinery, which was said to be the largest of its kind in the world? Or would Mr. President ordered for the repairs of the government owned refineries if Aliko Dangote happens to be his tribe’s man? I very much doubt so, because of his apparent tribal bigotry.

“Besides Alhaji Aliko Dangote, another Northerner, who is also a very big entrepreneur, Alhaji AbdusSamadu Rabi’u, the founder of BUA, is also building a 200,000 barrels per day refinery in Akwa Ibom state. The two have chosen to make the South, particularly Lagos, the Headquarters of their group of companies, even as the bulk of their customers are in the North.

“It is therefore, little wonder that the Federal Government under President Tinubu, would undertake to repair the four refineries NOW, when Aliko Dangote has sunk around $20 billion to build the ‘Dangote Refinery’. Disarable as the repairs may be.”

NOT easily giving up on his EVIL plot to undermine the North, the Tinubu federal regime has now cunningly employed the services of many unions in the oil sector to do the dirty work for a price.

THE National Union of Petroleum And Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association (PETROAN), the Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and Deport and Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) promised to shut down filling stations nationwide over Aliko Dagote’s decision to transport his fuel to the filing stations in the country, since the reductions he usually makes allegedly never reach the of the fuel.

THESE unions used to fight the federal government for not providing enough fuel in the country. Now that a Northerner is trying to fill the gap by purchasing 1,000 fuel transporting gas trucks, he is being fought dirty by the compromised lot, which includes DAPPMAN, which criticises Dangote for reducing the price of fuel.

FINALLY, let me share this rather long article by SM Ingawa which appeared on the internet for your reading please, especially those who have missed it already.👇

“Dangote and NUPENG, PETROAN and IPMAN Dangote’s market entry into the oil and gas industry has disrupted many market dynamics not only in Nigeria but even on global stage. On the import side, Dangote has diverted over 30m liters of petroleum products daily from the global market—and off course from the importers—activating big market threats to both the producers and importers.

“Such market disruption comes with stiff resistance from the affected parties. This disruption cuts across the entire oil and gas value chain. From hijacking the market of 650,000 barrels of crude per day to hijacking the market of tens of millions liters of petroleum products per day and to now diverting the logistics market in a more competitive manner.

“4,000 CNG-powered trucks rolled out into the oil and gas logistics market will definitely take many existing players out of the market. This is even on ideal market conditions—without considering the mode and manner Dangote is planning to enter the market.

“He has the refinery, he has the trucks and he will do door delivery—covering the entire value chain—making it cheaper and safer for marketers to deal with him than doing every aspect of the market independently.

“Additionally, Dangote’s trucks will be powered by CNG, at a cost almost 2 times lower than the conventional diesel oil used by marketers. In terms of capacity, Dangote is coming in with far more fleet capacity than any company in the market on individual basis.

“As at 2020, NBS had it that Nigerian Oil and Gas Logistics Market has a cumulative fleet capacity of 30,000 trucks, 23,000+ for PMS distribution, 5,700+ for AGO distribution and just about 300 for other petroleum products. But despite that, no company has upto 2,000 trucks individually.
“NNPCL has the highest with little above 1,000 trucks. Dangote coming in with 4,000 trucks—CNG-powered—makes him the biggest and perhaps the deciding player in the value chain. No matter how much the unions will push, Dangote will win this battle for his capacity advantage and control of the entire value chain.

“There are so many ways to solve problems but threats can not solve this particular one because the threatened has undue advantage over the one making the threats. It’s either to dialogue with Dangote or gather money to build their own refinery and do what they want with it.

“From the side of average Nigerians, all we need is cheaper and consistent supply of petroleum products irrespective of who does it. All the unions have been in existence for so long without making life easier to the Nigerian people. If this arrival of Dangote will make life easier so be it. We will deal with the monopoly issue later. I really register the concerns of the unions but there’s practically nothing anybody can do about this. After all it’s a private business.”

May God God help whoever assists others in order to save them from the evil design of some sharks.

Help, The Minister Of Power Is Sick In The Head.

By Abdu Labaran Malumfashi.
14-9-2025.

THE Minister of Power, Adelabu Adebayo, better known as Minister of DARKNESS, was quoted by ‘WAKIYA (vernacular) newspaper as saying that in the two years that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu came to power, “there has never been a blackout in Nigeria”.

SUCH a statement can only be uttered by a MADMAN, or someone living on CLOUD NINE (a dreamer) waiting for something to happen, or one who believes Nigeria STARTS and ENDS in Lagos and Ibadan. Lagos, the capital of the president’s home state, and Ibadan being the capital of the minister’s home state of Oyo.

The number one citizen wants to TRANSFER the capital of the country BACK to Lagos, to actualise his unbelief in Nigeria, and the minister of DARKNESS dreams of being the next governor of Oyo state when the 2027 elections are conducted by the national electoral umpire, the Independent National Election Commission (INEC).

Otherwise, anyone, even visitors to Nigeria, knows that ELECTRICITY is a LUXURY only the rich and top government workers and lawmakers can afford, unless one lives in Lagos or Ibadan.

I live in the most expensive area in the country in terms of electricity payment. My area is in the so called BAND A zone where we pay N35,000 (35K) per month for the DARKNESS we are mostly served. We are currently on a 22 weeks (5 and half months) consecutive run with ‘FALLING OF LINE’, which lasts between two to four days EVERY WEEK, with some lasting about one whole week.

THREE weeks ago, the FALLING OF LINE lasted for 14 days. For two weeks we lived in darkness. Currently, light returned for less than one hour yesterday after its absence for five days, due to (yes, you got it right) the FALLING OF THE LINE. It only came back today at 10:02 in the morning (10:02 AM), but lasted for less than two hours (2 hours) before it went off again, until God knows when.

BUT users of Band A in Lagos and their Ibadan counterparts get 24hrs supply of electricity per day, for payment of much lower tariff. Even Band A users in Enugu, who pay N16,000 (16K) per month, get no less than 20 hours a day of electricity.

AND in President Tinubu’s first year in office, there were 20 COLLAPSES of the National Grid,
MOST of which affected only the Northern part of the country. On 19/10/2024, I wrote an article with the title ‘National Grid: One Collapse Too Many’.

IN the article, I asserted that, “The latest collapse of the National Grid is simply one collapse too many in the country of close to 230 million people. The darkness brings in the irritating and often dangerous mosquitoes in the nights, which may be the reason for the high number of malaria cases and patients in Nigeria.

“For the eighth time in 2024, the National Grid has experienced collapse, with the latest happening on Saturday 19th October 2024. Yet, only the head of the Minister of Power is being called for, but not that of the person on whose table the buck stops. Mr. President should be held accountable since he controls the country’s funds.

“Even the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) believes that there were too many incidents of disturbances on the National Grid and the resulting power outages experienced in the country. It announced on its X handle today (Saturday) of plans to conduct a public investigative hearing to find out the remote and immediate causes of the frequent collapse of the National Grid.”

AND the SYCOPHANTIC minister in charge of the power ministry CLAIMS that Nigeria has never experienced a blackout since Tinubu became President. That is the problem with giving an MBS (NOT the academic variety, but MAD BIGOTED SYCOPHANT) a position by an equally sick-minded, tribal sycophant, he deserves NOT, except for his ability to OBSEQUIOUSLY do as will please his CLUELESS boss.

AND Tinubu without any iota of doubt a CLUELESS leader, who promised to provide electricity to Nigerians during his first term in office, FAILURE of which he URGED the electorates NOT to “VOTE FOR ME for a SECOND term”. He is nowhere near, and does not appear likely to FULFIL the promise, which leaves the Nigerian electorates to redeem their own part of his urging.

NOT long ago the minister of DARKNESS invited the world to witness the formal OPENING of the (his) PALACE he built in the two years of the presidency of his boss, in preparation of his becoming the next governor of Oyo state on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

INSTEAD of him to resign, or at least hide his face in SHAME at failing to POSITIVELY deliver on his mandate, he is PROUDLY showing the WORLD the EXTENT of the CORRUPTION of the regime UNDER which he serves as a minister that is supposed to provide LIGHT, but provides DARKNESS for the majority of the hapless poor citizens their rarely available naira, most of which is pocketed by him and his money-accumulating boss.

AS I also once noted, some politicians (‘big’ and ‘small’) live in denial of the deteriorating situation of security in Nigeria. They have been singing praises of the present government, claiming that there is PEACE in the country, even though there is a noticeable spike in the regularity of the deadly attacks, abductions for ransom, animal rustling and theft of food stuffs by the bandits, especially in the three North West states of Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto.

“This is happening at the time when Nigeria is SUPPOSED to have ENTERED into a SECURITY AGREEMENT with the US, France and Israel.
Such politicians could be either beneficiaries in the insecurity, or they are mare sycophants, who want to be given the opportunity to be ‘re-elected’ to ‘represent’ their constituents again. Whichever way, they would always be found making the right noises that the powers-that-be like to hear.

SYCOPHANCY and living in the denial of the TRUTH, are the SURVIVAL tricks of the present CORRUPT and CLUELESS regime, which only lives on PROPAGANDA to ‘SHOWCASE’ its MINUS+ ACHIEVEMENTS since coming to power a little over two years ago (May 29, 2023).

May God remove LIERS, SYCOPHANTS, DECEIVERS and their BOSS from the leadership of Nigeria in 2027., and rests the country from the grating and grits of mad people

That is the problem with giving an MBS (NOT the academic variety, but MAD BIGOTED SYCOPHANT) a position by an equally sick-minded, tribal sycophant, he deserves NOT, except for his ability to OBSEQUIOUSLY do as will please his CLUELESS boss.

AND Tinubu without any iota of doubt a CLUELESS leader, who promised to provide electricity to Nigerians during his first term in office, FAILURE of which he URGED the electorates NOT to “VOTE FOR ME for a SECOND term”. He is nowhere near, and does not appear likely to FULFIL the promise, which leaves the Nigerian electorates to redeem their own part of his urging.

NOT long ago the minister of DARKNESS invited the world to witness the formal OPENING of the (his) PALACE he built in the two years of the presidency of his boss, in preparation of his becoming the next governor of Oyo state on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

INSTEAD of him to resign, or at least hide his face in SHAME at failing to POSITIVELY deliver on his mandate, he is PROUDLY showing the WORLD the EXTENT of the CORRUPTION of the regime UNDER which he serves as a minister that is supposed to provide LIGHT, but provides DARKNESS for the majority of the hapless poor citizens their rarely available naira, most of which is pocketed by him and his money-accumulating boss.

AS I also once noted, some politicians (‘big’ and ‘small’) live in denial of the deteriorating situation of security in Nigeria. They have been singing praises of the present government, claiming that there is PEACE in the country, even though there is a noticeable spike in the regularity of the deadly attacks, abductions for ransom, animal rustling and theft of food stuffs by the bandits, especially in the three North West states of Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto.

“This is happening at the time when Nigeria is SUPPOSED to have ENTERED into a SECURITY AGREEMENT with the US, France and Israel.
Such politicians could be either beneficiaries in the insecurity, or they are mare sycophants, who want to be given the opportunity to be ‘re-elected’ to ‘represent’ their constituents again. Whichever way, they would always be found making the right noises that the powers-that-be like to hear.

SYCOPHANCY and living in the denial of the TRUTH, are the SURVIVAL tricks of the present CORRUPT and CLUELESS regime, which only lives on PROPAGANDA to ‘SHOWCASE’ its MINUS+ ACHIEVEMENTS since coming to power a little over two years ago (May 29, 2023).

May God remove LIERS, SYCOPHANTS, DECEIVERS and their BOSS from the leadership of Nigeria in 2027., and rests the country from the grating and grits of mad people
