Personal income tax revenue from 7.7m individuals in Ontario was more than the entire FG revenue for 2025. A country of 220m people.
Much of what is said in this video may sound counterintuitive to a Nigerian whose mind has been conditioned, for decades, to believe that corruption is the country's biggest problem.
If you are not an Obidient, this is especially for you. Take a moment to reflect on it. And do not leave with the idea that the argument is "corruption is not a major problem." That conclusion only comes to those who attack what they assumed was said before hearing what was actually said.

As usual, the Obidients are in the comments, wielding the only weapon in their toolbox: insults. h/t @Themiconshow

We are not a poor country, we just lack decisive leadership. Religion and ethnicity has broken us so deep we hardly have any common objective.
We would rather share suv to religious leaders than equip a public school.

Is this forreal or it’s a joke ??
You’re dividing government revenue by population as though the purpose of a national budget is to share cash among citizens.
The job of government is to deploy public resources intelligently to create the conditions for people and businesses to become more productive, build enterprises, create jobs and generate wealth.
And guess what happens when citizens and businesses become more prosperous?
Government REVENUE Grows!
Where exactly do you think the revenues of those countries you’re comparing to Nigeria come from ?
Nigeria’s revenue problem is a result of decades of corruption, waste and failure to invest in the productive capacity of its people.
Nigeria ate the seeds it was meant to plant and is complaining of low harvest. Pitiful pitiful.
If you shared everything Nigeria’s federal government expects to collect in 2026 equally among Nigerians, each person would get $114.35 for the year. That is $9.53 a month, about N13,000.
And that assumes nothing else happens. No roads, no schools, no hospitals, no army, no salaries. Just the entire federal revenue divided by the number of Nigerians.
The first delusion to cure yourself of is that Nigeria is a rich country. You cannot heal a disease you refuse to acknowledge.
As a Nigerian, you should be angry that our election conversations almost never touch this, the mother of every other problem we have.
How do we expand our productivity?
That is the question. Everything else sits inside it.
Today is Sunday. When they say “Owó ni kẹ̀kẹ́ ìhìnrere,” what do you think it means?
It does not apply to the gospel alone. Whatever you want to carry, money is what carries it. It is why one of the first things the United States did in its war on terror was go after the money.

The claim is not accurate. Nigeria’s consolidated government revenue across federal, state and local levels reached about ₦40 trillion in 2024 (IMF estimates), equivalent to roughly $27 billion at the year’s average exchange rate. Even with higher 2025 figures it stays far below $100 billion.

Nigeria makes in excess of $100 billion annually across all levels of govt.
This can go a loooong way without corruption.
But that evil mf is talking about corruption not being a problem.

It is estimated that Nigeria lost $550b to corruption since independence, that’s an average annual loss of $8.3b
Do also with this information what you will.
Funds lost to corruption in major economies:
USA - Tax fraud alone is $206b annually
China - Illicit outflows still in hundreds of billions of dollars annually
Russia - $72b annually
India - $20b or 0.5% of GDP
France - €120b annually
Do with this information what you will.

Years of mismanagement, FUEL SUBSIDY(which everyone is crying to bring back), holes in the constitution that need to be patched or completely rewritten, too many useless socialist policies, lack of investment in infrastructure, states feeling too comfortable with FAAC allocations

Finland, Singapore, Denmark, Sweden& Norway run subsidies & regulation—yet rank among the world’s least corrupt while delivering top-tier development. Strong institutions beat the “controls breed graft” claim.

Anyone who is against the re-election of Tinubu in Nigeria Is a pseudo terrorist
We must never abandoned our relative macroeconomic stability and go back to Egypt just because people are suffering right now
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We are rich as a nation
Where in reality is that we are extremely poor
For context , Norway with 5 million population generate $200b yearly
Nigeria with 200 million population
Generate $20b yearly

supporting Tinubu shouldn't be something you just wake up one morning and decide to do. you need to understand what's happening politically, do your own research and think critically for yourself before you can realise he's the best option. you can't just follow the crowd.

My candidate is the person I’m going to be voting during the elections at my polling unit, in my ward and on the ballot paper.
I’m an advocate for good governance, and there is nothing the government has done to improve my standard of living. I built myself to this point.

Okay , Nigeria as a nation are extremely poor in revenue
For context , Norway with 5 million people generate $224 billion a year
Nigeri with 200 million people
Generate $20 billion a year
This is the best way to recover our economy and it will take time .

I can’t be spilling classified ideas on how to strategically uplift your standard of living but I can tell you for sure that when I’m in power I will see to rehabilitating people like you and your followers

There are tweets with 100% clarity that I have seen on X, but people have given such tweets 200 meanings.
This tweet does not even have 100% clarity, hence, I was expecting it to get 500 interpretations 😅
I believed this is a compliment to Seyi Vibez, but could also be a backhand compliment.
He’s actually saying Seyi Vibez is big on the street because everyone is thinking he is Seyi Vibez, but then the “agbero” he used could be the trigger for Seyi Vibez.
All in all, I think it was a misunderstanding and didn’t require the many reactions from Seyi Vibez, but who am I to control another man’s reaction?

You will find out that even you can do better than the present government

A candidate who lack the boldness and credibility to stand by his word regardless of any criticism is not who Nigeria need in this critical time of our Nation.
