Many experts believe that if implemented effectively, these reforms could significantly benefit the country and its citizens.

Could President Trump issue an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship?

-
Image
President Donald Trump’s recent claims that he has the authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order have sparked a heated debate. However, most constitutional scholars argue that such an action would be unconstitutional and likely to face legal challenges. *The 14th Amendment* The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹. This amendment was initially intended to grant citizenship to recently freed slaves, but it has also been interpreted to confer birthright citizenship on anyone born on American soil. *Supreme Court Precedents* The Supreme Court has consistently upheld the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment in numerous cases. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the court ruled that a child born in the United States to Chin...

President Tinubu’s NELFUND: Giving Every Student a Chance “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” Education is the foundation of progress, yet for many Nigerian students, financial barriers have been a roadblock to achieving their dreams. Recognising this, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) — a visionary initiative designed to ensure that no student is left behind because of financial constraints . The heart of NELFUND is simple: it levels the playing field. Whether you come from a well-connected family or from humble beginnings, the fund is built to make sure that every Nigerian student has access to education loans without discrimination, delays, or unnecessary bureaucracy. This is why the slogan resonates so strongly: “How a son of nobody and who knows nobody can access the loan freely.” It speaks directly to millions of young Nigerians who have talent, ambition, and drive—but lack the financial su...

President Tinubu’s Bold Economic Reforms: Two Years of Progress and Renewed Hope

-
Image
When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office, he inherited an economy weighed down by heavy subsidies, low oil production, dwindling reserves, and widespread investor distrust. Many believed the challenges were insurmountable. Yet, just two years into his administration, the economic indicators tell a powerful story of resilience, tough choices, and steady progress. The reforms have not been without pain, but they reflect a deliberate strategy: dismantling old structures that held Nigeria back and laying a foundation for lasting prosperity. From Deficit to Surplus: Reversing Nigeria’s Trade Balance In Q1 2023, Nigeria recorded a ₦20 billion trade deficit . Two years later, the country now boasts a ₦5.7 trillion surplus . This dramatic turnaround reflects improved oil exports, reduced importation of refined products, and stronger non-oil contributions. This surplus is more than a statistic — it shows Nigeria is regaining control of its economy and reducing reliance on foreign de...
