"You claimed to have inherited a dilapidated Nigeria yet you're spending public funds extravagantly as if you inherited a rich and prosperous country" – Sanusi replies Tinubu

Emir Mohammed Sanusi, a prominent Nigerian leader and former Emir of Kano, has responded to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's claim that he inherited a dilapidated Nigeria from former President Muhammadu Buhari.

In his message to Tinubu, Emir Sanusi expresses total disagreement with this assertion. Sanusi questions how a president that claimed to have inherited a dilapidated Nigeria be spending public funds extravagantly as if you inherited a rich and prosperous country.

How would you justify the following extravagant spendings under your government:

21 Billion Naira to renovate the Vice President house

70 Billion Naira to the National Assembly members to buy SUVs at the cost 160 Million Naira per one for Senators and House of Representatives members

Specifically 4 Billion Naira to renovate Dodan Barrack Lagos

Another 3 Billion Naira to renovate Aguda House

5 Billion Naira was given to Presidential Tax Reforms Committee of less than twenty people headed by Taiwo Oyedele with nothing to show for it

1.5 Billion Naira to purchase cars for your wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu despite the fact that First Lady office is not recognised by our constitution

300% salary increase for the judges which was speedily passed by the insensitive and irresponsible senators

5 Billion Naira was budgeted for Presidential fleet of cars for President Bola Ahmad Tinubu

5 Billion equally budgeted for Presidential yacht

225 Billion naira spent on so-called Presidential Jet

90 Billion naira spent on 2024 Hajj pilgrimage

Billions of Naira was budgeted for your trips including the Vice President Kashim Shettima to the detriment of the citizens

Every Senator is paid 21 Million Naira monthly

House of Representatives are earning 13.5 Million monthly

All the increment was done by your government

15 Trillion Naira Lagos Calabar Coastal Road was awarded illegally to your friend a Lebanese Gilbert Chagoury who was repatriated back to his country by the former President Obasanjo

You have the largest ministers ever in the history of Nigeria.

Emir Sanusi's message critiques the spending patterns of Tinubu's government in light of claims about the state of Nigeria's economy inherited from Buhari.

The United States President Donald Trump has asked some African countries to accept deported migrants who are not Africans.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the United States sent proposals to five West African presidents, asking them to take in migrants whose home countries won’t accept them.

Nigeria has rejected the United States request, citing they have bigger problems at home.

These are not citizens of those African nations, but people the U.S. wants to offload because their home countries have refused to take them back.

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made the country’s position crystal clear: “We have enough problems of our own… We cannot accept Venezuelan deportees to Nigeria, for crying out loud,” he said.

Kenya Removes Visa Requirements for Africans and Most Caribbean Countries

Kenya has officially scrapped visa requirements for citizens of 52 African nations and most Caribbean countries. Africans can now travel to Kenya with just a passport.

The new policy eliminates the need for electronic travel authorization (eTA), visa fees, or paperwork.

Under the new directive, travelers from 52 African nations and several Caribbean states are now allowed visa-free entry into Kenya for up to 60 days. Citizens of East African Community (EAC) member states can stay for up to six months, consistent with EAC free movement protocols.

However, the visa-free policy excludes Libya and Somalia due to security concerns.

Russian Embassy comment on the Business Day article (July 15, 2025)

We took note of the article How Russia wins friends and influences people by Nicholas Shubitz published in Business Day on July 11, 2025, and found it thought-provoking and partially reflective of the realities of getting education abroad – be it in Russia, USA, China, Europe or elsewhere. Yet, one important issue is missing.

Education has traditionally been one of the most vibrant sectors in #RussiaAfrica relations. Since the early days of African independence, hundreds of thousands of professionals – doctors, engineers, teachers, technicians, and others – have received training in Russia. After completing these studies, most of the graduates return to their home countries, where they contribute to building a better future for their communities.

We firmly believe that Africa is not, and should not be, an arena for geopolitical rivalry.

As President Vladimir Putin emphasized in his article “Russia and Africa: Joining Efforts for Peace, Progress and a Successful Future,” our country has consistently adhered to the principle of “AFRICAN SOLUTIONS TO AFRICAN PROBLEMS,” standing in solidarity with African nations in their pursuit of self-determination, justice, and sovereign rights. Unlike some external actors, we have never sought to impose our values, governance models, or development paths on our African partners.

Our engagement with African countries is guided by the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum Action Plan for 2023-2026, adopted at the highest level. This strategic document outlines broad cooperation in numerous areas, including security, trade, investment, agriculture, science, culture, and – critically – education.

Shane Shauke, a graduate of a Russian University, current medical practitioner and representative of the Russian African Centre of University Studies (RACUS) in SA, shares his experience:
“As a South African from the rural Limpopo province, I had the opportunity to study in Russia. Many of us who studied there were drawn not by political influence, but by the accessibility of quality education – especially in fields like medicine.

Russia’s investment in international students, particularly from Africa, certainly fosters goodwill. It’s equally important to acknowledge that the relationship is not one-sided: African students often return home with valuable knowledge and skills.

Russia may gain friends through education, but those friendships are rooted in complex human experiences, not just political strategy.”

WHAT NIGERIANS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE DEATH OF BUHARI NOT NEW SAME WAS SAID ABOUT SANI ABACHA'S DEATH

Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Dies in London at 82
Nigeria’s former president Muhammadu Buhari has died at the age of 82 in a London clinic, his family has announced.

Buhari, who governed Nigeria from 2015 to 2023, was reported to have travelled to the United Kingdom in April for a routine medical check-up but subsequently fell ill. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

In a brief statement on Sunday, Buhari’s family confirmed his passing: “The family of the former president has announced the passing on of Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin.”

As a Nigerian, I must express my dissatisfaction with the leadership provided over the past eight years. Rather than experiencing benefits, I have faced pain, limited opportunities for growth, and witnessed similar hardships for numerous youths from my generation. This was also the case during his military rule, which my father endured. His leadership style is marked by a lack of progress, which has been transferred to those under his leadership. While some argue that he fought corruption, it is evident that the majority of Nigerian politicians are corrupt, yet none have been held accountable. Furthermore, his leadership has been marred by the loss of many Nigerian youths during the End SARS protest and Shi'ite protest, which seemed to be of little concern to him. We do not rejoice in the passing of good individuals, but we also do not condemn those who speak the truth about evil men. Are you satisfied with the leaders Nigeria has had since Jonathan left office? In my opinion, Buhari is an evil man, comparable to General Sani Abacha, whose death was celebrated by Nigerians. If you do well, Nigerians will mourn your passing, but if you do evil, people will speak out.

Aliko Dangote to Build 1.6 Million Barrel Fuel Storage in Namibia to Supply Southern Africa

Nigeria’s Dangote Petroleum Refinery plans to construct large-scale fuel storage tanks in Namibia’s Walvis Bay capable of holding at least 1.6 million barrels of gasoline and diesel, to supply refined fuel to Southern Africa.

The planned storage facilities will support the export of fuel products from Dangote’s $20 billion refinery in Lagos, the largest in Africa, which began operations in 2023.

The storage tanks will serve as a regional distribution hub for landlocked countries including Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, helping to reduce dependency on fuel imports from Europe and Asia.

The Dangote Group has not publicly disclosed the project timeline or investment cost for the Namibian storage facility, but local authorities anticipate that the project will be operational within the next 18 to 24 months.

*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 4)

*Scripture Reading:* 1 Samuel 19:9-10

*"Then an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand. Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he escaped from Saul’s presence, so that Saul only stuck the spear into the wall. Then David fled and escaped that night."*(AMP)

From yesterday teaching, we could see what motivated David and at the same time Saul.

Let me show you briefly how we see that David was a man after God’s own heart, and Saul was a man of selfishness.

Lesson 1: David was motivated by a Love for God and Saul was motivated by what he could get from God. Just as majority of christian today whose love for God is base on what they will get from Him.

: Lets look at David first:

I Sam 18:10 says, *“The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully upon Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the harp, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand and he hurled it, saying to himself, I’ll pin David to the wall. But David eluded him twice”* Now if that would not have been an intense moment in life, look at what happens further as we read:

I Sam 19:9-11 says, *“But an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp, Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.”* It was David’s desire to do the Lord’s will, and not his own. It was God’s will that David be where he was, playing for the King and not tending sheep.

*My question is, why would David still desire to go back to king Saul, knowing that there is that much tension in Saul’s house?* The love of God. Doing the will of God, loving your enemies and praying for those who spitefully use you. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful Friday, peace.

*Prayer point:* Holy Spirit, help me in doing your will always in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Meet Emeka Nelson, a young inventor from Alambra state In Nigeria who gained popularity worldwide for inventing a water-powered generator that runs solely on water and with a maximum capacity of 1000 watts and a voltage raging from between 220 and 240.

During the interview with BBC Africa News, Emeka has revealed that one liter of clean water can power the generator for up to 6 hours and that he worked on his innovative project for 16 years to make it a reality.

Emeka’s innovation is not only environmental friendly but also a good proof that talent doesn’t necessarily needs engineering certification .
If you can dream it, you can make it a reality.

*TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?*(Series 3)

*Scripture Reading:* 1 Samuel 18:8-9

*"Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed [only] thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” Saul looked at David with suspicion [and jealously] from that day forward."*(AMP)

Continuation from where we stopped yesterday:

We will be observing David and Saul as our case study today. The truth is, something must motivate a man. So the question is WHAT MOTIVATES YOU IN TAKING THAT DECISION?

*What kept David and Saul going, every day?*

*What made David weep for a man that was pursuing to kill him?*

*And what made Saul pursue David and want his head at all cost?*

These are the questions we are going to be looking at. Two different people, with different reasons for getting up in the morning. Believe me, you and I are in one of these two categories this morning.

So, from the above scripture, I Samuel, starting at chapter 18 right through to II Samuel 1 and see what motivated David and Saul in their pursue of destiny.

David Was Motivated By Love And Saul By Selfishness. *Truly, someone whose love is genuine, such will be committed to much sacrifices, patient, tolerance, perseverance, selflessness act, etc. And that's the attributes that manifested in David's life. But to a selfish person, the lives of others make no meaning to them. They're ready to do anything just to achieve their self-centered evil desires, not minding if it affects others precious destiny. And that's exactly what we saw in Saul's life.* WHAT MOTIVATE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN? To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Dear Lord, take away my purpose and give me your purpose that will motivate me in doing your will in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
