- The presidential candidate of the peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has faulted the minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun and the federal government’s plans to deploy N20 trillion Naira of pension funds for infrastructure development in Nigeria.
The finance minister revealed the plans at the federal executive council meeting on Tuesday, stating that the government is focused on tapping into domestic financial resources, for national growth, adding that it was a significant step towards driving economic progress and addressing critical infrastructure needs.
Many Nigerians have condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s approval of 90 billion naira to subsidize the cost of this year's hajj pilgrimage.
Vice President Kashim Shettima made the announcement during the inaugural hajj airlift at the Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport in Kebbi state, on Wednesday.
In his speech, Shettima emphasized the president's commitment to religious pilgrimage, and urged intending pilgrims to pray for the success of the administration and to act as good ambassadors for Nigeria by observing all Hajj protocols in Saudi Arabia.
Following reports of a faulty presidential aircraft, a member of the house of representatives, Ali Isa has suggested that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should travel by road or use commercial flights for official engagements. Isa was contributing to a motion, sponsored by the chairman of the house committee on national security and intelligence, Satomi Ahmed, to probe the status of the presidential fleet.
In Niger state, the planned forced marriage of 100 girls, some orphaned by insurgency, has sparked outrage among many Nigerians, including the minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, who lodged a petition with the Inspector-General of Police and sought a court injunction to prevent the marriage of the girls.
The controversy erupted following an announcement by the Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Abdulmalik Sarkindaji, who was to sponsor the wedding but later withdrew his plans after the minister petition.
However, the Niger State Imam Forum made up of Chief Imams of Friday Mosques and Islamic Organizations, have vowed to go ahead with the wedding.
The Forum said the wedding would go on because it did did not contravene the sections of the Nigerian constitution and teachings of Islam.
While in Kano state, Shafiu Abubakar, a resident of Gezawa Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday, set a mosque on fire, leaving at least six worshippers dead and several others injured.
Abubakar was said to have used petrol to light up the mosque, while about 40 worshippers were praying.
He told the police that he perpetrated the act because members of the mosque had forced him to marry a girl that he did not like. The police on the other hand said preliminary investigation revealed that the incident was not a terrorist attack.
The arrest of Afrobeats Musician, Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable by the Lagos state police command on Tuesday, for allegedly failing to pay the debt he incurred after purchasing a mecedes G-Wagon from a car dealer, has been condemned by a cross section of Nigerians and legal practitioners.
Portable was said to have bought the vehicle worth N27 million naira, but paid only N13 million Naira and reportedly refused to pay the rest.
Olajengbesi, a lawyer who represents celebrities, while reacting to the arrest in a post on Facebook, said that the method of debt recovery employed by the police, blatantly disregarded the country’s laws.
He also argued that indebtedness is not a criminal offense, and that even the Nigerian government has debts.
In a viral video, portable was seen jumping over a gate in an attempt to evade arrest, he was later caught and forcibly carried by four police officers into a waiting vehicle.

Someone said last year and I quote "If Peter Obi doesn't become president, forget about Nigeria". He was very right.
The sad thing is that when we were crying before the election some people were blinded by tribalism
90b for hajj, 5b for student loan. What a country!
Country or government? That's exactly how he's been misappropriating Lagos money.
It’s very shameful being a Nigerian. It’s very shameful
Yeye dey smell!
The students loan that has been permanently suspended the country is just a joke.
There has been no country since the clueless has taken over
Government should stop paying for haji and Jerusalem pilgrimage because there is no benefit to the country
APT its waste of fund. all the Fela music our mumu never do.
Exactly, when the country can’t even feed its people. Religion is meant to be a private thing. If you can’t afford it then rest. It’s not meant to be at the detriment of millions of lives.
@@zuragoodheart6661Our mumu will only stop the day we the masses stand together against the greedy political class.Our disunity supplies them enough guts and strength 💪
@@estherifyikwumelu4113 Facts, we are the mases is the problem, cannot unite cos of race and religion.
What is actually the job of the law makers in both chambers?
Wale, Wale, this is vodoo economics. Please tell Nigerians how you guys are going to pay this pension funds back. This is the height of incompetence.
All the money Buhari borrowed in the name infrastructure we have not seen 1 road yet
Very simple! Borrow again to pay, then wait for the next opportunity. After all nobody had been arrested. All the criminals have been allowed to be in government.
@@thomaskyesmen4054 both administrations suck, but buhari isnt in power now so stop trying to deflect.
Internal and external debt: $113.42 bil. Take out N20 trn from pension fund of pple that retired; pay N90 bil for Hajj; only N5 bil for student (future leaders) loan; N15 trn for Lagos - Calabar road that leads to nowhere economically. Devalue naira, borrow dollar to defend it. The dollar is running out, naira is depreciating again and a dollar is about 1,500 naira. Voodoo Tinubu, Voodoo Wale Edu, Voodoo Cardoso, Voodoo APC. I don't know what is wrong with Thunder!

I want power I want power ok see power now you can't perform incompetent government
Are we not confused in this country. How can the government borrow money to send people to hajj to pray for us so that money will be falling from the sky.
We're lost.
Nigeria is a big joke.

Don't touch people's Pension. People are already suffering. You've already removed subsidy and raised tax
How comes no one is saying "peter obi will never be president", "tinubu will rule for 8 years", bla bla bla.
Everybody eye don clear. 😂😂😂😂
They never see anything yet. They think tribalism can move Nigeria forward. It's not business as usual in Nigeria because the country and her economy is already bastardised.
😂😂😂 I'm telling you my brother
E never clear finish oo, the thing is all those faceless Tinubu defenders always run when they know this government messes up. They don’t have shame 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 chaiii Naija is finished
Tell them o. They will soon TAX us for walking on the road
It's obvious nobody is giving Nigeria loan again 😂😂😂
Very true.
Lol
Sickening 🤢🤢😢😢
The country is sick, very sick and needs medication.....urgent medications. APC 😢
It's not the country that is sick, its Apc power grabbers that are sick and pathetic
The Country needs emergency surgery, not just medication.
The annoying part is that they will still be eyeing 2027. I hate this corn tree. Useless government useless politicians
I join Rufai to say DON'T TOUCH MY PENSION!!! Who bewitched this country called Nigeria. Why do we keep having clueless men in power? Are we ever going to get it right in this country????
Because we are divided by our tribes. The citizens need to come together and fight the common enemy. This is the height of it!!!!!! The govt is indeed clueless!
Hmmm i no come out oo because na my own go worst pass . If they like they should call the country yoruba and housa nation . Nothing concern me inside@finalwarningformankindlove3260

What a waste of this clueless government!
In this bad economy, a government keeps borrowing to fund rubbish projects so as individuals personal religious beliefs.
Well said rufai👍👍 God bless you🥰🥰
Tax payers money una dey use am sponsor Hajj, did you people take permission from me?
😂😂😂 Nigeria our country. The country is literally drowning and all they could think of is to subsidize religious activities that can take care of it self.
Make dem no touch our money oo.
I am impressed. Any religious pilgrimages should be personal.
Why won't they keep doing foolish things like this when we all are always quiet
😅😅😅😅😅😅
If people can not go to hajj on their own resources they should stay at home. The Government should use that 90B to uplift the very poor in Nigeria.
Spot on 💯
Tinubu government is totally insane, incompetent and pathetic.
👍🏾
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Rufai can you please be the president or Obi’s running mate. We need people like you in Nigeria. I commend you and the girls for a good job well done

She’s missing Dr Abati right now !!! That moment of introducing her by Dr Abati and the smiles it brings to my face kept me here for so long now because after hearing what’s trending I’m left sad cos of the nature of the nation
APC,Misplaced Priorities, and Frivolities are 5&6
Real 5&6
We need to do something quickly about the useless government. QUICKLY
Tinubu, please don't touch our pension fund. Leave our money for us, please
What a government of criminals! Stealing pension funds from the people. Using money which should be used for minimum wage to pay foreign airlines for religious trips.
Because its been announced? What about ordinary people that has kept tampering with the money, without the knowledge of pensioners & Nigerians.
Am a Muslim but will never support this stupid subsidy hajj with tax payer money. If any one of us want to go hajj, Allah has said it in the holy Quran that the condition is if you have the money. Not mandatory if you don't have the money.
Well said ❤
I just love Rufai and Ayo's views
You guys rock
I love your analysis as always
I greet you our beautiful Ojy ❤
Rufai Oseni never disappoint. Zoo republic of Nigeria 😂😂😂. 90 billion naira approved to travel to Saudi Arabia to pray, in a country where citizens can hardly feed.
The cluelessness, lack of direction and anyhowness is alarming and appalling! ...there was a country..
'Intending pilgrims to pray for the success of this administration'. Are you kidding me? Nigeria is not ready for real change. 😅
Exactly 💯 ✅🙏
The president you voted for
Sometimes I cry for this corn tree. I just can't believe my ears

What a country!
Heavily corrupt dictatorship system of Tiunbu government 90 billion with the largest numbers of children out of school, hunger in the land,unemployment rate inexplicable.
Those that voted for this government should please beg them for us.
😅😅
Pls BEG THEM FOR US O..😂😂😂.. which kine wahala be dis na.

Termparing with pension funds is very very wicked of this man called finance minister Edun and this government of APC. Please allow pensioners to survive.
Pls the price of fowl and kola nut should be subsidized for the traditional worshippers. Fowl and kolanut are very costly now.
😂😂😂
True talk
No be small thing .we need subsidy too
This comment wins it 😂😂😂🙌
Don’t touch it O, Don’t even think about it.
Imagine the impact of #90billion on the challenge of out of school children..
You people missed slot of opportunity from losing Mr Peter Obi as Nigerian president 2023
The idiot Tinubu and his wife went to Qatar for investment and others none of them listen to him
Because they knew he is a drug dealer and extravagant person, not an economist to be trusted
For real!!!
Those so call Northern elder won't them be reasonable to tell tinubu to use the 90b to sponsor out of schools children shame.
Erradicating innovation and establishing Sunnah.
Where are the educated people in the North?why are they not speaking up against all the drama .Nigeria is not one country I'm ashamed . Where are those online campaigning peter obi can't be their president. They shouldn't be silent your problem is too much for us. . We want to move forward to enjoy good environment.
90 billion, what a misplaced priority, no more empathy, some consciences are dead, you want to take money from pensioners. DON'T TOUCH. I weep bitterly daily seeing all atrocities, all we need basic amenities that will alleviate this tiring situation. Which way my country, have mercy.
My favorite team love you guys please keep up the good job and Doctor B we miss you
OMG pension money and life insurance are these peoples okay?, 😮😮😮

Well done you are doing your job well.
Ayo,God bless you. You spoke very well
Please don’t touch our pension fund president Tinubu
When you’re broke, you focus on needs only, when you have money, you can do frivolities. Nigeria is broke but is focusing only on frivolities.
Thank you!!
God bless Arise
Please the man is saying the president should travel by road to see how Nigeria roads looks like..Most of the roads are gone. Just to save cost.
What's the benefit of all this for Nigerians why are they wasting our resources
I support this honorable it will enable the president feel our pain
Thanks Rufai... Let them not touch our money. We don't trust them in the first place.
How did APC happen to Nigeria God
Yorubas and Hausa Muslims made it possible 😂😂
Yoruba with their worst tribe man certificate forge disgrace leaders
Why Nigerians are not on streets bemuses me. Just think about the inflation. In the USA, inflation is 3%, but Americans are not happy at all. In Nigeria, official inflation is 33.69%, but Nigerians are calm. I just don’t know. Why are they calm? Why are people not protesting?
This is a wicked idea...
The only governor that uses commercial flight is Alex Otti
₦90bn for Hajj???
What the heck!!!
President tinubu please do not touch a dime of my pension funds. I will sue you to court. Did I force you to be president? This is sickening.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Please I will follow to sue ooo
That was what he meant if you guys listen carefully you heard him said then Nigerians will have hope that their roads will be fixed ,so he wasn't saying about Europe .
U are smart
Nigeria ‘s dying !!. What a shame !!. #EvilSoulsInAsoRock
#BolaTinubuIsEmpty
The subsidy to be totally removed is the humongous figures voted for religious pilgrimages to Jerusalem or Mecca. Government has no business funding private believers going on pilgrimages.
This government is simply telling you to japa, because if you work in Nigeria, no pension for you, you will die in pain and in poverty until you go to your grave period.
I have never laughed at any government policy as this one. Religious Pilgrimage 😂😂😂
I wished their pilgrimage was always fruitful but no
A very sick country, mad country. 😮
So 90 billion was released for ppl to go and pray and even the student loan that was only 5 billion , APC government una try ohh ppl are dying of hunger, government that dont know what they are doing..
Just imaging if the government gives each Nigerian 2 million naira alone.
What a shame, 90B for pilgrimage. Anybody that wants to go to Hajj should pay from their pockets, this country will never grow.
The Northerns will not buy that ideal.As bad as the policy is, it is political suicidal for any govt that stops it
Ayo thank you for your bold submissions
The same God we profess to worship and going toHaj to worship. Lord God please forgive us as we are sincerely lost and seem unredeemable 😭😭😭.
90 billion for hajj 5b for students and 48 thousand for Nigeria workers 😂😂😂 Emilokon Emuilokon
Great analysis ❤❤❤.
DONT TOUCH PENSIONER FUNDS- I JOIN RUFAI
Chai! We're in a Sinking Ship. May Save Us.
See how the speaker is saying my President, a house that is supposed to be autonomous
Who do us this thing 😂😂
A set of clowns and semi illiterates in the House of Representatives and the Senate. And also in the Presidency - clueless, visionless, incompetent lot ! - They can spend and mismanage wealth and riches ; but they cannot create wealth, riches and employment !
Even Republicans that are the greatest opposition the Republican speaker always called Biden "my president" A president of a nation is a president to all citizens. "MY PRESIDENT is just a way to respect the president.
As in ,no be juju be that
I thought I was the only one that heard that. Nigeria is gone beyond redemption!
You guys should stop acting like a kid. Even in American Republicans Speaker called Biden "My President" is just a respectful way of honoring a speaker. President of a country is a president of all the citizens. McCauley that was even great opposition to democrats call Biden "My President"
They don't even care about the poor out-of-school children.
Stop that 90 billions immediately
Let's continue with tribalism oooo. Shebi Igbo no go rule the country, let's see who is suffering... Awaloko....
Thank Ayo ❤
Thank you Arise News! You are the hope of the poor.
I think Nigerians should stop being commentators and making jokes about all this billions being Aprove here and there. Nigerians should be on the street protesting
Please o, government should not use our pension money for whatever, please NLC where are you.? Please let the former governors give him their own
Ruffi thank you very much for not fearing for ur live and speaking the truth everytime
Thgank you Rufai ❤

At this stage... I think God Himself is tired of Nigeria.

Are you sure that Nigerians will keep standing on this Tinubu mandate for the next 3 years😂😂🦵🦵 the legs of those standing on the mandate are bending now.
We must . Infact we must .
Make dem no touch people pension o, God have mercy.
If you listen carefully, you will hear the gods laughing 😂
😂😂
Pilgrimage should be a private affairs and other countries will be laughing at us for borrowing to fund charity
If 90b was invested into farming sector what do you think it will happen😢😢
Rufai God bless you 🙏
Nigeria has devourers not leaders
An issue in which we need a leader that can take difficult decision is this subsidy for religious pilgrimage especially the Muslims’.It’s common sense to remove this. Tinubu should see this as a decision to take in his tenure
Unfortunately, we always kick cans down the road until we're forced to pick it. There are many decisions that take us too long to take because of selfish political reasons. Tinubu blocked fuel subsidy removal at the time it was easiest. Jan 2012. The loans were not plenty, and the government could afford to support the masses better then. Until the World bank shouts about this pilgrimage issue, they won't stop. We're like spoilt children( our leaders)
@@Tirelesswarriorhow did Tinubu blocked the subsidy removal please? Was he the President at the time?
@okeoja4447 No. He wasn't. But he used his political might to overturn a decision that was better for the country. The unrest was chaotic in spite of Adewunmi and Okonjo Iwelas' appeal for the economic expedience. He wrote in Cable news then during Jan 2012, Occupy Nigeria said that Jonathan was a pharaoh who was on top of the people rather than with them. He vehemently campaigned for the government to hold on to the subsidy in spite of his knowledge of its danger of destruction. That was the ultimate selfish endeavor of mankind along with El Rufai. We paid over 3b dollars on average yearly until 2023(11 years). Political ambitions are costly, and he never apologized. That singular selfish act is one of the reasons I'll never give much honor and respect to the incumbent president. There is no FDI he can generate that can replace approx 30b dollars of wasted subsidy. It's excruciatingly selfish. May almighty God forgive Nigerian politicians.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@okeoja4447you asked silly question
In the voice of Rufai, *DON'T TOUCH IT* Let's not even go there at all. Don't even think of it all. I just like this guy. It's not everyday you find a reporter who looks the evil polithiefians in the face and say the truth as raw as it should be.
Rufai may God bless u and this your team Amazing and courageous speech
What is wrong with this government. A Country where people are hungry the government is spending this amount for people to embark on a life long religious accomplishment why not use that amount to buy food for the people.
I am lost in thought.
BAT has approved 90billion naira for Hajj prigrimage nonsense and is about to borrow 20trillion of ppl's pension funds to fund his yahoo projects 😢😢😢. I believe we have left d balablue faze, we are now I blueblue 😢😢😢😢😢😢. It's only God that will save us
May we not proceed to the hulaba phase o😢
This government is ultimately wicked!!!
