Breaking: Yahaya Bello responds to the EFCC's invitation, asserting that he has nothing to conceal.

  By Chico Mies Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State, has formally accepted an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as confirmed by his media office on Wednesday, following consultations with family members, legal advisors, and political associates.  According to a statement issued by Ohiare Michael, Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, the former governor's decision to appear before the anti-corruption agency underscores his commitment to transparency. Bello faces 19 charges related to money laundering amounting to N80.2 billion.  Notably, he has sought to enforce his fundamental rights to ensure due process. The former governor has expressed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration and its anti-corruption initiatives.  EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede had previously pledged to resign if Bello was not prosecuted, reaffirming the commission's commitment to pursuing the case to its logical conclusion.

Bayelsa and Bayelsans Deserve More

By Ben Agadaga
Sen. Douye Diri, Governor Of Bayelsa State, Nigeria 

Let me start by praising Governor Diri for his two significant projects that challenge the people of the state of Bayelsa. Nembe/Brass Road and Angiama/Oporoma Road are the projects.


It is necessary to speak the truth. From the time the state was established in 1999 until Governor Diri took office, no governor had ever considered initiating those two significant projects. Maybe it was because of the financial ramifications, or they used their standard justification of rough terrain. However, this man felt it prudent to take on those initiatives and brave the unthinkable.


Yes, you may not agree with his management style or the speed at which he moves projects along to meet deadlines, but you can see for yourself what he has established and is managing.


But given that Bayelsa only has eight LGAs and a population of less than 3 million, we expect the government to take greater action. In addition, we receive 13% derivation and other incentives and rank among the top 5 oil-producing states.


Compared to states that were established at the same time as us and receive lesser funding, our rate of development is slower. This is the place for us as a state, and we most definitely deserve improved social amenities and welfare. The majority of us have visited adjacent States, therefore when you consider what we have here, you can honestly tell yourself that things are not right in Bayelsa.


Every Bayelsan wants to live in a model city that is affluent and where all that one enjoys in other states may be duplicated for the benefit of everyone. Although Bayelsa is not an impoverished state, its citizens live in extreme poverty.


They say that being grateful is an application for more. Your Excellency Sir, although you are making an effort, Bayelsans believe you are capable of more. Since your government determines their next meal, some of your advisors and cabinet members will be reluctant to tell you the truth. You are known as the Miracle Governor because the voice of the people is the voice of God.


We can restore Bayelsa's glory together.

BREAKING: Tinubu’s Nationwide Broadcast Contained False Oil Production Data, OPEC Reports

By Chico Mies. Tinubu asserted that Nigeria's crude oil output had attained 1.6 million barrels per day, crediting this achievement to the reforms implemented by his administration within the oil sector. Data from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) suggests that President Bola Tinubu may have conveyed misleading information to the Nigerian populace concerning the nation’s oil production levels. In a speech delivered on August 4, in response to the concerns of the #EndBadGovernance protesters, President Tinubu claimed that Nigeria's crude oil production had attained a level of 1.6 million barrels per day. He further credited this accomplishment to the reforms implemented by his administration within the oil sector. Share this post:

  By Chico Mies. The list of the ten poorest countries in the world for 2024 includes South Sudan, which is recognized as the youngest nation globally, having gained independence in 2011. This country faces significant economic challenges, political instability, ongoing conflicts, and inadequate infrastructure that hinder its development. A List of the Ten Least Affluent Nations Globally Based on GDP Per Capita: Earlier this year, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasted that the global economy is anticipated to maintain a steady yet cautious trajectory in 2024–25, with a projected growth rate of 3.2%.  This assessment highlights the economy's recovery and resilience amid the disruptions caused by COVID-19 and ongoing geopolitical challenges.  It is noteworthy that advanced economies are experiencing a slight uptick in growth, whereas emerging markets and developing economies are expected to face a modest deceleration, with growth rates declining from 4.3% in 2023 to 4.2% i
