The secret to happiness and fulfilment in life is not money. Although money is important, anyone can find joy in life by identifying what makes them happy and what they do every day, and then devoting their energy to making the two the same thing. If what you do daily is what makes you joyful, you would have found happiness in life, with or without money. For example, if singing and dancing make you happy, don't wait for special occasions to engage in those activities. Work them into your daily routine. What you do daily is what can make you happy, healthy and, yes, eventually wealthy. #RenosNuggets

Today is Democracy Day, and Nigeria is blessed that such an auspicious day in our national life falls on a most blessed day of Jumu'ah. Assalamu Alaikum and Barka da Juma'ah. I urge all Nigerians, on this day when our nation celebrates the almost sacrificial price that Chief Moshood Abiola paid for us to enjoy democracy, to support our nation and its leader, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who was the right-hand man to Chief Abiola as he went through his travails. Nigeria is alive, Nigeria will survive, and Nigeria will thrive by the grace of God and the joint efforts of all Nigerians. May the Al-Qayyum (The Sustainer) provide sustainability to our daily lives and to our democracy as we mark Democracy Day today. And may God continue to give us leaders that are committed to one indivisible nation under God that is committed to the welfare of all Nigerians irrespective of region, religion, and communion. As we gather for salatul Jumu'ah, please pray that we may continue to be led by leaders who promote peace, unity, and love. Not those who harbour secret agendas for the dismemberment of this great nation and the promotion of secessionist leaders and ideas. May the souls of the leaders who struggled to ensure we sustain democracy rest in peace. May we, every day, keep working, watching, and praying for our dear country, Nigeria, to prosper and excel according to the collective dreams of all true patriots. May Almighty God continue to bless and grant us sabr, taqwa, shifa, especially those in hospital and at home, and forgiveness. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Publicity Helps Terrorists. It Does Not Pressure Them. They Treasure it! It is a very big mistake to think that publicity, or global outrage, pressures terrorists. Quite the contrary. They relish it! They thrive on it. The late British Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher, put it best when she said, "Publicity is the oxygen of terrorism." Davido means well, but doing what he did, which I will not elaborate on, because my readers know what I am referring to, actually helps the terrorists who took those children more than it aids the rescue of the kids and their teachers. Terrorists want publicity. That is how they spread terror. If you do not know about their terrifying acts, they can't have the power of terror over you. Publicity, however well-intended, always works in the favour of terrorists by increasing their ability to incite fear in the public and pressure governments to give in to their demands by outraging the global community, who then put pressure, not on the evil terrorists, but on civil governments. I was a Presidential spokesman under President Jonathan, and the rescue efforts for the #ChibokGirls were hampered the day Michelle Obama held up the #BringBackOurGirls banner, making it a cause célèbre. From that point on, the girls became so high profile that it was more profitable, from a terror standpoint, for Boko Haram to hold on to them at whatever costs. If #BringBackOurGirls had not been made such a global phenomenon, their abductors would not have increased security around the girls and separated them, making it more difficult for security forces to rescue them. It is not as though the Nigerian government is resting on its oars in the present case. Every effort is being made to secure the release of the children and their teachers abducted from the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities. We recently saw the stuff our security forces are made up of when they rescued the sister of the immediate past power minister, Mr. Adebayo Adelabu, and her children. What this situation requires is not publicity, especially on a global stage. That is what the terrorists want. And a critical mass of Nigerians are very emotional people and may not understand the dynamics at play here. As such, they may start insulting and attacking me for saying this without pausing to understand the situation. For four years, I travelled around the world, meeting world leaders in my effort to secure Leah Sharibu's release. I did not collect a dime from anybody and funded this effort myself. I even released a charity single that I composed and produced with the late Onyeka Onwenu, and went to Nepal to attempt an Everest Climb. However, after meeting two serving British Prime Ministers, and Canadian and Spanish Prime Ministers, an Icelandic Minister, as well as several Caribbean leaders, I was informed by top level security officials that my activities were actually making Leah Sharibu's release less likely, because by raising her profile, I was making her too valuable as a hostage to her captors, who would rather use the global publicity I was getting for her to raise funds, recruit more terrorists and project themselves. And when my attention was directed to the UNESCO Handbook for Journalists on Terrorism Coverage, I was mortified with what I read. That piece of literature is very clear on how terrorism thrives the more journalists, celebrities, and politicians publicise acts of terror. In fact, the more you do, the more likely you will have reoccurrences. That is why I stopped the publicity aspect of the #FreeLeahSharibu campaign. Look at it this way. If you are a terrorist and are seeking publicity for your cause, to create a larger-than-life image and incite fear in the public, why would you release the very hostages who are responsible for the publicity you are getting? I wish Nigerians could look at this in a sentient manner instead of being emotional over an issue that we can only resolve if we are rational!

President Tinubu Ended Fuel Subsidy, So Where Is the Money He Saved Going? Good question. And without beating around the bush, I will show you five key areas where the money saved is going. In April 2023, just a month before the handover of power from General Buhari to President Bola Tinubu, JP Morgan, in a report titled 'Nigeria: Reform Pause Rather Than Fatigue', exposed that the Buhari administration actually left Nigeria with a net foreign reserve of $3.7 billion, rather than the $14 billion they claimed in public. From that meagre amount, the Tinubu government has raised our foreign reserves to $50.26 billion, as of Monday, June 8, 2026, our highest level in seventeen years. You may ask why Nigeria needs such high reserves. It is to protect our economy against future economic shocks arising from a crash in exports, to help pay for vital goods and services we need from overseas, and, finally, to guarantee our loans. Each state in the federation is now receiving at least double (some more than double) what they were getting under General Buhari when Nigeria still operated the subsidy regime. For example, the Federation Account Allocation Committee distributed a total of ₦725.571 billion as revenue to the three tiers of government in March 2022. However, for the same period in 2026, namely March 2026, the FAAC disbursed ₦2.036 trillion to the three tiers, which is three times what they received under General Buhari's regime. Under President Tinubu, all six geopolitical zones now have development commissions, including the Northwest Development Commission, North-Central Development Commission, Northeast Development Commission, Southwest Development Commission, Southeast Development Commission, and the Niger Delta Development Commission. These commissions have been receiving approximately ₦2.5 trillion annually under Tinubu, a new subvention they did not receive under the Buhari administration, because most of them did not even exist. Over a million indigent Nigerian students are now receiving approximately ₦300 billion as loans under the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) initiative of President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda. Infrastructure: No other administration in the history of this nation has democratised road construction to the extent that the Tinubu government has done, simultaneously connecting the Southwest with the South-South via the 750-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway being built for ₦15 trillion, linking the Northwest to the Southwest with the 1068-kilometre Illela-Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway costing ₦13 trillion, and bridging the gap between the Southeast and the entire North through the 465-kilometre Trans-Saharan Road is being constructed at a price of an estimated $750 million. Although there are more, these are five tangible areas where you can see the subsidy savings at work. Before the Tinubu government was inaugurated, we had a paltry foreign reserve and most states had a several-month backlog of wages. Today, states are no longer owing salaries because of increased subventions from the Tinubu-led Federal Government. Nigerians can feel the impact of three years of the Tinubu administration, which is the first time in our history that we have not experienced strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, because lecturers are now well paid, while students are receiving non-interest student loans. The six regions now have their development commissions, and they are well funded. In addition, road and rail works are ongoing across all geopolitical zones. So, with these facts in mind, it is a fallacy for anyone to say that the President ended the fuel subsidy regime, but you don't know where the money saved from that wasteful programme went. The funds went towards improving your life and Human Development Index as a Nigerian through the initiatives listed above! Reno Omokri Ambassador Designate to Mexico. Gospeller.

Peter Obi has never shown original, authentic thinking. He is a copy-and-paste politician. That explains why he has nothing to showcase as Anambra governor for eight years. Willie Obiano, his successor, said Obi failed spectacularly in providing security in the state. In contrast with Governor Tinubu in Lagos, Tinubu left LAWMA, LASTMA, LAMATA, RRS, a rail and road masterplan, which is still being executed to this day. Nigeria deserves a leader who can see beyond the ken of the ordinary people, a leader who is a proven deep thinker and doer. Peter Obi is no match for President Bola Tinubu. They are not on the same level.
Peter Obi: Do You Still Insist On Nigeria Emulating The Indonesian Economy On Monday, February 10, 2025, and several times afterwards, Mr. Peter Obi praised the Indonesian economy as a model for Nigeria and severely criticised His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu's handling of the Nigerian economy. Since that time, and as reported by several financial and economic publications, including the Financial Times and the Spectator Index, the Indonesian Rupiah has depreciated heavily against the US Dollar, losing almost 20% of its value, and going from Rp 16,173 to $1 in February of 2025, to Rp 18,063 to $1 today, Tuesday, June 9, 2026. Additionally, the Indonesian Rupiah was officially rated as Asia's "worst performing major currency" by Bloomberg, after it sank to a record low, forcing the Indonesian Central Bank to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to stop the free fall of its currency. Furthermore, Indonesia has experienced a quarter-on-quarter GDP contraction of -0.77% in the first quarter of 2026. In contrast, the Nigerian economy under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, has experienced twelve uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses. Added to this is the fact that the Nigerian Naira, which traded against the US Dollar at ₦1,565 to $1 on Monday, February 10, 2025, when Peter Obi criticised Nigeria and praised Indonesia, has increased in value by 12.1% and now averages ₦1,365 today. The Naira was also listed by FXTM as the second-best-performing currency in Africa for the first quarter of 2026, trailing only the Zambian kwacha. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund listed Nigeria as the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025. This is even as Anna Bjerde, the World Bank's Managing Director of Operations, said that "Nigeria is now frequently cited globally as an example of steady, credible reform leadership." This comes as Nigeria's economy has grown by $67 billion in two years, rising from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion after the economy was rebased last year. So, my question to Mr. Peter Obi is this: Sir, do you still insist that Nigeria emulate the Indonesian economy? This is not an attack on the Republic of Indonesia, a great and proud nation, with which the Federal Republic of Nigeria enjoys an excellent relationship. The purpose of this is simply to inform Nigerians of the true state of their economy vis-à-vis what was said by Mr Peter Obi, a Presidential candidate in Nigeria, so that they can make a factual and honest assessment of Nigeria's economic well-being.

As a Southerner, You Better Put Some Respect On That Word 'Aboki'! Yesterday, in my post exposing how Peter Obi lied when he accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of increasing Nigeria's total debt (our national debt is actually lower today than it was on Monday, May 29, 2023), someone commented and called me an 'Ewu Hausa'. This fellow finished it off by saying I look like an 'Aboki' from Kano. Why do some people see that as an insult? In terms of historical wealth and power, as well as intellectualism, no other city in Nigeria can compete with Kano. But sadly, many Nigerians are not aware of this, especially Southerners, and so, we often look down on the North in general and take a dim view of Kano. And that is really unfortunate, because if you really want to be influential in Nigeria, you can achieve this by learning as much as you can about Kano and why that metropolis has dominated wealth and power in West Africa for centuries. For example, do you know that Nigeria's most loved leader, in the person of the late General Murtala Ramat Muhammed, was from Kano? Conversely, our nation's most hated (and, in hindsight, maybe unfairly) Head of State was also from Kano. I refer to the late General Sani Abacha. Other than Minna, no other Nigerian city has ever produced two Nigerian leaders. In terms of intellectualism, the Kano Chronicles detail events from Kano dating back as far as the 10th century. And another beauty of that body of work is that it is written in Ajami script, a fusion of Arabic and the Hausa language. And that love for intellectualism has not died out in Kano. I may be wrong, but I am not sure that any state has more than two state-owned universities, except Kano. Kano has three state-owned universities, including Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology, Wudil; Sa'adatu Rimi University of Education; and Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano. Kano also has more than ten private universities. And it is doubtful that any state has more students on foreign scholarships than Kano, with almost 400 abroad on either a Master's or a PhD. The reason you, as a Southerner, may not know this is because Kanawa are not loud and do not have that useless 'money na water' arrogant attitude! For those of us, Southerners, who keep using the term 'Aboki', derivatively to refer to Northerners in general, and persons of either Hausa or Fulani descent in particular, please note that the wealthiest African on the planet, as well as the second richest African on Earth, are both Northerners, from Kano State, with both Hausa and Fulani origins. By this, I refer to Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Alhaji Abdul Samad Isyaku Rabiu. Neither of these individuals has ever held a government position. They both do not engage in government contracts. They started as traders and gradually moved into manufacturing. And it did not start with them. I did not know Alhaji Dangote's father personally, but I knew the late Alhaji Isyaku Rabiu because he sponsored my mother's sporting events at Apapa in the eighties. But Alhaji Dangote's lineage is also extraordinary for its wealth and humility, though I know this from research rather than personal knowledge. In terms of documenting wealth, the late Alhaji Alhassan Dantata was the wealthiest man in West Africa at the time of his death on Wednesday, August 17, 1955. Alhaji Alhassan Dantata was the great-grandfather of Aliko Dangote, currently the wealthiest Black person alive. Sanusi Dantata, the son of Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, was recognised by Time Magazine as Nigeria's wealthiest person by the 1960s. Please note that since records stated being kept from 1914 to date, there has NEVER been a time that a Southerner was the richest man in Nigeria, including Chief Abiola. All of Nigeria's official wealthiest persons have always been Northerners. They are just not as loud as we are! So, as a Southerner, I urge you to rethink the term "Aboki." Reno Omokri

Peter Obi Lied: Nigeria's Debt Has Reduced Under President Tinubu. He Is Converting Dollar Loans To Naira To Manipulate The Public Peter Obi is displaying dishonesty today by misinforming the Nigerian public about our nation's total debt! He knows for a fact that Nigeria's debt has reduced under President Bola Tinubu. Nevertheless, he released a statement today, lying to Nigerians that our total debt has increased because of the financial profligacy of the Tinubu administration. Peter Obi is manipulatively quoting our national debt in Naira, even though these loans were taken in foreign currencies, especially the US Dollar. If, for example, Peter Obi's bank, F******* Bank, lent me $1,000 in 2023, which was equivalent to under ₦500,000, I do not owe you more money in 2026, even though the $1,000 is now worth ₦1,350,000. And you know that, Peter. You are just deceiving the public. I urge Nigerian citizens to Google, Grok, or ChatGPT the following query: Has Nigeria's debt increased under Tinubu in dollar terms? Yes, the US Dollar is not our legal tender. However, these loans were taken in Dollars and Euros. Peter Obi knows that the Naira was floated. Because of that, the Naira's value under President Buhari is different from the Naira's value today under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria. So, to deceive his gullible followers, he keeps citing our debt in Naira, giving the impression that President Tinubu has increased it. For the avoidance of doubt, Nigeria's total debt when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, 2023, was $108.29 billion, as published by the Debt Management Office on Friday, March 31, 2023. However, by June 30, 2023, when the Debt Management Office published the updated debt figures for the Buhari administration, our total debt stood at $113 billion. The truth is that, yes, President Buhari left a total debt of ₦87.38 trillion behind when he handed over to President Bola Tinubu, but that ₦87.38 trillion was equivalent to $113 billion, which is less than our total debt today. Peter Obi, please stop being clever by half and be honest with yourself and the public. Reno Omokri Ambassador Designate to Mexico.
