Dear Nigerians, here's another question that deserves our collective attention. The 2026 FG Budget earmarks N22.15 billion for the construction of 106 Palace buildings, with some including furniture and solar installations. Our review raises serious accountability concerns: 📍 11 Palace projects worth N5.85 billion have no identified locations, making public oversight almost impossible. 📍 None of the 45 implementing MDAs has the statutory mandate to construct palaces. Among the agencies budgeted to execute these projects are: • Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (N3.92bn) • Federal Cooperative College, Ibadan (N3.29bn) • Sheda Science and Technology Complex (N1.54bn) • National Cereals Research Institute (N427m) • Industrial Arbitration Panel (N369.4m) • National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (N280m) • Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital, Dawanau (N42m) At a time of rising debt and limited fiscal space, should the Federal Government fund projects that are largely local in nature, while states and local governments constitutionally exist to address many community-level needs? This is not about the importance of our traditional institutions. It is about ensuring that public budgets reflect constitutional responsibilities, institutional mandates, and Nigeria's development priorities. The Federal Budget should not become a vehicle for financing projects outside the constitutional and statutory responsibilities of the institutions implementing them. Nigeria deserves a budget that is lawful, transparent, and development-driven. #Publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople #Askquestions Cc; @NGRPresident @nassnigeria, @HouseNGR

I won't stop posting this picture until either I'm arrested or the government do the right thing. This is a health center in a community in Ebonyi State. This is not fair to the people!

URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!! This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State. Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days. Yes you read that right. A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay. According to Dr Innocent, The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay. They have nobody to speak for them. They have nobody to fight for them. They are suffering and dying in silence. Please if you see this tweet, Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence, I don’t know these doctors personally, But we can’t watch evil and say nothing. Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival, It will only take you 2seconds, Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence. Pls share and retweet. Thank you.

Femi Falana stated that Ali Modu Sheriff, the former governor of Borno State, founded Boko Haram. He was arrested in Cameroon over his links to the group, but the Nigerian government stepped in and negotiated his release. Falana challenged Sheriff to sue him if the claims are untrue.

Dear Blessing, I just came across your tweet, and it truly inspired me. To graduate with a First Class in Mathematics from UNILORIN and then earn a fully funded Master's admission in Italy is an extraordinary achievement. You have demonstrated excellence and the promise that exists in so many young Nigerians. No young person who has worked this hard should have such an opportunity limited by the cost of getting there. It would be my privilege to support your journey by covering what is left in the cost of your relocation. @nancy_i_i from my office will reach out to you today. Congratulations once again. Go, excel, and continue to make Nigeria proud.
