Lai Mohammed Urges Nigerians To Back Tinubu On Insecurity

Former Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has called on Nigerians to give stronger support to President Bola Tinubu’s administration in its efforts to tackle insecurity. He said the scale and complexity of today’s security threats make it impossible for government and security agencies to succeed without active citizen cooperation.​ Speaking in an interview, Mohammed noted that the Tinubu government has introduced several measures to curb terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes.

More Money For Govt Yet Nigerians Get Poorer

A new analysis has shown that funds shared by the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee to the three tiers of government have surged sharply in the last four years, yet living conditions for most Nigerians keep deteriorating. The report revealed that total FAAC allocations jumped from about N9.18 trillion in 2022 to N10.9 trillion in 2023 and N15.26 trillion in 2024, an increase of roughly 66 percent within two years.​ Despite this rise in public revenue, poverty indicators remain grim, with more households struggling to afford food, transport, health care and housing. Rising inflation, weak job growth and the impact of subsidy removal have combined to wipe out any potential benefits of higher government earnings for ordinary citizens.​ Data in the report show that states and local governments have also benefited significantly from the higher inflows, receiving record amounts from FAAC […]

Toke Makinwa Says Men Are The Real Gold Diggers

Media personality Toke Makinwa has challenged the long standing stereotype that women are the main gold diggers in relationships. She argued that, in reality, many men are the bigger gold diggers because they actively seek to marry into wealthy families.​ Speaking on her podcast with Tacha, Makinwa criticised how society frequently attacks women who marry rich men. She said the same energy is rarely directed at men who pursue financially comfortable partners or families.​ Makinwa noted that many men deliberately target women from affluent backgrounds but do not face the same level of stigma. According to her, these men marry into generational wealth openly and “without shame”, yet conversations about gold digging focus almost only on women.​ She faulted male commentators who accuse women of dating men for money while ignoring similar behaviour among men. In her view, this double […]
