Our land is soaked with blood😭😭

Yesterday, the Naira hit ₦1386 to $1. This came the same day it was revealed that Nigeria is the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025. This is even as income inequality in Nigeria has improved to 33.9%, better than the US at 41.4% and China at 36%. Meanwhile, the inflation rate has fallen from a thirty-year high of 34.8% in December 2024 to a historic low of 15.2% in December 2025. Additionally, on Monday, January 5, 2026, the total market capitalisation of the Nigerian Stock Exchange hit and crossed the ₦100 trillion mark for the first time ever, and ended the day at ₦101.807 trillion.

Even more importantly, in less than two years, President Tinubu added $67 billion to Nigeria's GDP, moving us from a ₦269.29 trillion economy on May 29, 2023, when he became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.

Do you want to ignore this and vote for Peter Obi, who is the only Anambra Governor since 1999 under whom poverty increased by 29.7%?

If you don't vote for Tinubu in 2027, what do you gain? Who else could have achieved this other than Asiwaju?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that 2026 will mark the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth for Nigeria, saying ongoing reforms are yielding tangible results despite global economic headwinds.

In his New Year goodwill message to Nigerians yesterday, the President said the country closed 2025 on a strong economic footing, with steady growth, declining inflation, improved exchange rate stability and rising investor confidence.

According to him, Nigeria recorded robust gross domestic product growth in every quarter of 2025, with annualised growth expected to exceed 4 per cent. He said inflation declined steadily and fell below 15 per cent, in line with government targets, while trade surpluses were maintained.

Tinubu also said the Nigerian Stock Exchange outperformed many of its peers, posting a 48.12 per cent gain in 2025 and consolidating a bullish run that began in the second half of 2023.

On external buffers, the President said foreign reserves stood at $45.4 billion as of December 29, 2025, providing a firm cushion against external shocks and supporting the naira. He expressed confidence that the position would continue to strengthen in 2026.

He added that foreign direct investment was responding positively to the reform agenda, rising to $720 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $90 million in the preceding quarter, a development he attributed to renewed investor confidence and positive assessments by global credit rating agencies.

Life is not always kind, nor does it promise fairness. Sometimes, those we expect protection from can be the very ones who tear us down. Sometimes, those we laugh with are the same who feast on our downfall. The lesson is piercingly clear: the world does not always operate by the laws of love, but often by the LAWS OF SURVIVAL & ADVANTAGE!!

At TICAD 9, I made Nigeria’s position clear. We will always honour our Armed Forces not only for the battles they fight, but for the peace they help us build. We will keep honouring them by addressing the root causes of insecurity.

Peace is not just the absence of war. It is justice. It is opportunity. It is inclusion. That is where our reforms are focused. Our mission is to win both the battle and the future.

We welcome Japan’s $5.5 billion commitment to Africa. But true partnership requires a shift from aid to investment, from charity to co-creation, from pledges to shared purpose, and from marginalisation to fair representation.

Africa’s voice must be heard. Africa must have two permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council with full rights and privileges. This is not a favour. It is a historic imperative. It is justice.
