“Saudi Arabia Should Build A Second National Grid For Us And Leave Reforms” – Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, recently expressed his opinion on Saudi Arabia’s support for Nigeria’s economic reforms, suggesting that the country focus on a more immediate and practical form of assistance.
Sani’s comment came in response to reports of Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Al Saud, assuring Nigeria of support for its economic transformation.
This assurance was made during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on the sidelines of the Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, where the two leaders discussed various areas of collaboration.
A statement from Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, revealed that the leaders talked about potential cooperation in sectors such as oil and gas, agriculture, infrastructure, and the creation of a Saudi-Nigeria Business Council.
One of the key items on the table was a proposed $5 billion bilateral trade facility aimed at enhancing economic ties between the two nations.
Additionally, it was noted that the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC) had already made a significant investment in Nigeria, acquiring a 35.43% stake in Olam Agri, one of the country’s largest agricultural firms, with a $1.24 billion investment in 2022.
In his reaction, Sani took to X (formerly Twitter), where he jokingly suggested that while Saudi Arabia’s support for Nigeria’s reforms is appreciated, a more pressing need for the country would be the construction of a second national power grid.
Sani’s statement underscored the challenges Nigeria faces in its energy sector, with frequent power outages and inadequate infrastructure hindering the country’s growth.
He humorously added that the issue of economic reforms could be dealt with later, implying that addressing Nigeria’s energy needs should be a priority

Elon Musk’s DOGE Exposes $4.7 Trillion in Untraceable Payments

The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has uncovered $4.7 trillion in untraceable payments within the U.S. Treasury Department.
In a statement released on Monday via its official X account, DOGE explained that the Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) field was previously optional for these payments, which made tracking nearly impossible.
The TAS field is a crucial identification code that links Treasury payments to specific budget line items.
DOGE mentioned that following its intervention over the weekend, the TAS field is now a mandatory requirement for Treasury payments.

White House Says Elon Musk is a Senior Adviser with No Decision-Making Power

The White House clarified on Monday that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a senior adviser to the president, not as an official employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
A filing from Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House’s Office of Administration, confirmed that Musk does not have decision-making power and can only offer advice or relay the president’s directives.
Fisher’s filing, part of a case against Musk filed by the State of New Mexico, emphasized that Musk is not employed by the US DOGE Service, nor does he hold the title of DOGE Service Administrator.
The filing also stressed that, like other senior White House advisors, Musk lacks the formal authority to make government decisions on his own.

Female Church Member Publicly Proposes to Evangelist Ebuka Obi

A bold moment unfolded at the Zion Prayer Movement Outreach Ministry (ZPMO) when a female member publicly proposed to evangelist Ebuka Obi during the church’s Singles Conference on Sunday.
The unexpected proposal was captured in a viral video shared by the ZPMO founder on his Instagram page. In the clip, the woman revealed that she had received a prophecy years ago about marrying a prophet and later had a dream confirming the person’s identity.
“In 2022, someone prophesied that I would marry a prophet. I believed the message, and God confirmed it in my dream. I also received the person’s name, but he wasn’t someone I could just approach. So, as a Christian sister, I kept praying that God would reveal it to him,” she explained.
Curious, the Imo State-based cleric asked her to describe the person, hinting at whether she had met him before. Without hesitation, she responded, “Not just somewhere. I’m seeing the person right now. Daddy, the person is from Imo State.”
Shocked by the unexpected revelation, Ebuka Obi responded with laughter, captioning the post with laughing emojis and writing, “She proposed marriage to EVANG EBUKA OBI during the Singles Conference.”
