    Nigeria’s public debt has climbed to ₦159.28 trillion, with a fresh $6 billion loan approved and over ₦15 trillion earmarked for debt servicing in the 2026 budget.

  • From Doubt to Conviction | After Easter Faith | John 20:19–30 | Praise Zone

    From Doubt to Conviction | After Easter Faith | John 20:19–30 | Praise Zone
    Apr 12 2026
    After Easter, what really changes?

    In this episode of Praise Zone, we reflect on the story of Thomas in John 20:19–30 and the journey from doubt to conviction. It’s one thing to celebrate the resurrection, but another to truly believe it in a way that shapes how you live.

    Thomas doubted, but he stayed. And because he stayed, he encountered Christ for himself.
    This message explores honest doubt, personal faith, and what it means to move beyond celebration into deep conviction.

    Listen, reflect, and grow your faith.

  • South-East Former Governors Forum: Purpose, Politics & 2027 Questions | Breakfast Diary

    South-East Former Governors Forum: Purpose, Politics & 2027 Questions | Breakfast Diary
    Apr 9 2026
    A new political platform has emerged in Nigeria’s South-East. A forum of former governors stepping back into regional conversations.

    From the Nigeria Governors’ Forum to regional blocs and socio-cultural groups, coordination is not new. But this structure raises fresh questions.

    What exactly is its purpose?

    Is it purely advisory, or politically strategic ahead of 2027?

    Can former leaders without executive power influence security, unity, and development in the region?

    With early signals of political alignment and growing concerns about insecurity and economic disruption, this discussion on Breakfast Diary examines whether the forum fills a leadership gap or adds another layer to an already crowded political space.

    Is this experience meeting relevance. Or influence seeking direction?

  • ₦3.3 Trillion Power Debt: Will Tinubu’s Plan Finally End Nigeria’s Blackouts? | Breakfast Diary

    ₦3.3 Trillion Power Debt: Will Tinubu’s Plan Finally End Nigeria’s Blackouts? | Breakfast Diary
    Apr 8 2026
    Nigeria’s power crisis recently took centre stage as President Bola Tinubu approved a ₦3.3 trillion plan to clear long-standing debts in the electricity sector.

    For years, unpaid obligations between generation companies and gas suppliers have crippled power supply, leading to outages, grid collapses, and rising costs for consumers.

    Now, the government says this intervention will restore confidence, boost generation, and improve supply.

    But questions remain. Is this a genuine structural reset or another bailout without results? Will Nigerians finally see stable electricity, or face higher tariffs without better service?

    In this episode of Breakfast Diary, we break down the numbers, the controversies, and what this means for everyday Nigerians.
