And create Boko Haram to destroy, de-develop & retrogress Nigeria, largest & fastest growing economy in Africa at the time (part of MINT). Then also used US soft power & MSM to psyop the population to turn against the progressive president, regime change him & install a puppet.

A Decade of "Change", a Nation Growing Poorer
Eleven years after millions voted for a supposed political transition, Nigeria’s economic reality tells a grim story.
With over 90 million citizens now living in multidimensional poverty and living standards sharply declined, Kangmwa Gofen investigates how foreign-backed economic policies and geopolitical interests continue to shape the nation's trajectory.

A working Govt policy shouldn’t be explained to be understood. It should be felt

Nigerians will see exploitation and convince themselves that they're witnessing progress.
They're taking your shit, repackaging it with their faces on it because they don't want to see yours, and you're here shouting "Afrobeats to the world!"

The PM of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, called his nation a "barren island"; I am quoting him.
The leadership of Singapore took citizens from that barren island from $516 in 1965 to $98,814 in 2025. The leadership of Nigeria took citizens from a nation endowed with immense God-given wealth from $117 in 1965 to $4,63 in 2014 to $835 in 2025 (IMF)
Singapore, with a smaller landmass, smaller population, and no fossil fuels, grew its budget and GDP per capita through the work of its leaders; they did not give excuses like "we are a poor nation"
Let's move to China, because someone will say, 'what's the population of Singapore'?
China in 1965 had a GDP per Capita of $65; in 2025, the GDP per capita of China was $13,862. Again, this was down to the work of the Chinese leadership
Let's go to Ethiopia; it's chosen because of its population. Its poverty rate has increased just as Nigeria's poverty rate has increased, but there is a critical distinction.
Between 2015 and 2025, Ethiopia’s average crude birth rate was approximately 32.4 births per 1,000 people, while its average real GDP per capita growth rate was around 4.5% to 5.5% annually. Nigeria, on the other hand, has maintained an exceptionally high average crude birth rate of roughly 36.8 births per 1,000 people, while its average real GDP per capita growth rate was marginally negative or stagnant, averaging approximately -0.1% to 0.2% annually.
Translation? Poverty is rising in both nations, but Ethiopia is growing its economy faster than Nigeria and creating more wealth for its citizens, as shown in GDP per capita.
The real danger in saying Nigeria is poor is that it insulates the Nigerian leadership from delivering the dividends of this blessed land to the people of Nigeria.
A big part of what ails Nigeria is also corruption. In 2013, a young man named Japhet Omojuwa (any relation?) said, and I quote, "corruption at its most chronic height has been responsible for the resource curse Nigeria suffers." T
Today, I am told that it's no longer corruption that ails Nigeria but income that's the problem. Income? The FGN got resources, N20t from subsidy removal and borrowing, and spent less than N300b on education. So are resources really the issue?
As you said, China was poor, but the leadership of China acted like the nation was poor, wearing austere Mao suits and riding bicycles to work (not Rolls-Royce); if Nigeria is poor, why is the leadership acting like the nation is rich? Why is poverty only a defense when it comes to health and education? I have not heard the Nigerian Senate say Because of poverty, they will now drive assembled Nord cars locally "
This then brings us to Nord; I fear you are reading this literally. If you go to China, India, or even Germany, you will struggle to see foreign cars. Do you know how many parts go into a single car?
If the president takes his pen and says, henceforth, only Nord and Innoson will be used by all Federal agencies, do you know how many jobs will be created directly and indirectly: the FDI, the training centers, the suppliers, the steel sector, the glass sector, the fabrics sector, the rubber sector, the finance sector? The advertisers, the technical schools, the insurance sector. trade? You are scoring 500 cars by calculating their sales price; that's like scooping water from the Atlantic with your hands to count the fish in the ocean.
I urge you to read up on the "Chicken tax" enacted in 1964 in America that subsequently allowed Detroit’s "Big Three" (Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler) to dominate the highly lucrative pickup truck and SUV till this day.
Nigeria is not poor; I casually asked ChatGPT the value of Nigeria's oil and gas in the ground; the number was $ 3.5 T, that's three and a half trillion USD. This same Nigeria has an oil company with no functional refinery. So it's not a poverty issue; it's a failure to create wealth.
This will not be my last post on this; my job on social media is to educate and inform and to hold the leadership to account factually. If you want to offer off-ramps to leadership that will not invest in wealth creation by all means, go ahead; keep insisting Nigeria is poor while the government spends millions on influencers (not you of course)
If a man has a yam field and refuses to plant yams, he can't complain that he is hungry
Nigeria is poor. That is an objective statement. Even the things you wrote after that projected the state of Nigeria’s poverty.
Your post opens by declaring Nigeria is not poor and ends by admitting Nigeria has not arrested extreme poverty. Both cannot be true. This is Peter Obi level contradiction.
A country is not rich because of what lies under its soil. It is rich because of what its people produce above it. By the measure that matters to the woman selling pepper at Mile 12, Nigeria is poor: 63 per cent of Nigerians, about 140 million people, were below the poverty line in 2025. Our income per head is around $1,250 a year. That is poverty.
Singapore was never a "barren rock." In 1965 its income per head was about $516, roughly level with Mexico and South Africa, and it was a busy British port. Singapore had no minerals at all. It is the strongest evidence against your post's claim. Resources did not make Singapore rich. Productivity did.
Ethiopia is a strange choice of "no excuses" model. Its poverty rate rose from 33 per cent in 2016 to a projected 43 per cent in 2025, and it has been in debt distress since missing a Eurobond payment in December 2023. If Nigeria missed a Eurobond payment, you are your presidential candidate will be shouting that to the heavens.
Ethiopia has not arrested extreme poverty either. Fast growth is not the same as being rich. Aren’t you meant to be one of the smartest Obidients? Even objective numbers are tripping you? Ethiopia? Did you think you were replying someone in your herd? Ethiopia? Lol.
The China figure of $113 per head in 1970 is correct. But China did not escape by announcing it was secretly rich. It admitted it was poor, then spent four decades building factories, roads and export industries.
India's progress is real. Its extreme poverty fell to 5.3 per cent. But Nigeria is not alone at the bottom: the DRC and (your) Ethiopia sit with us among the four countries holding half of sub-Saharan Africa's extreme poor.
The real danger in "Nigeria is not poor" is that it becomes the excuse. It tells Nigerians the wealth already exists and someone is just sitting on it. Politics then becomes a fight over sharing, not a project of producing. That’s exactly why none of those who want to replace President Tinubu have any plan on expanding our productivity. It’s all about how to waste the little there is.
About 1.6 million barrels a day at $65 is roughly $38 billion a year before any costs. Divide that by 230 million Nigerians and you get about $165 per person per year. Is that wealth?
You cannot fix what you misdiagnose. Nigeria is poor. But Nigeria does not have to stay poor.
As for Nord: 500 cars will not move GDP. Lol. Even at ₦50 million each, that is ₦25 billion, a rounding error in a ₦372.8 trillion economy. But a Nigerian factory making cars that Nigerians pay for is exactly how poor countries become rich. Make it 500,000. We are talking numbers, let’s get real please.
And this is my last response here. I cannot engage people who lie about bare facts for the sake of their uninformed audience or politics.
Good day Aja.

If you truly understood how much effort, time, sacrifice, and commitment people put into this work, you wouldn’t take it lightly.
Never mistake someone’s progress for an easy journey. This road demands more than just wanting it; it demands consistency, patience, and commitment.

Anyone can spot an entry model and patterns , like a breakout and retest , QMR , SLP, CRT or candlestick patterns . But these patterns alone don’t tell you why price should move. This is why only few traders are profitable.
Learn to always back your entries with a story. There’s a reason behind every move on the chart, don’t trade entry patterns blindly....
You must be able to answer some questions like .👇
👉 Where is price coming from? : trending or ranging ?
👉 Is price coming from a Premium or discount Level?
👉What liquidity has been taken? Where is the next Draw on liquidity?
👉 Is price accumulating or distributing?
Don't jump around concepts, understand what price is actually doing....
