How Tinubu Can Save Self From #EndBadGovernance2024 – Late TB Joshua
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to take two strategic steps to save his administration and preserve Nigeria’s democracy from the looming #EndBadGovernance2024 protests.
The word of prophesy was contained in a video clip of Sunday, July 14, 2013, where the late General Overseer of the Synagogue of All Nations (SCOAN), TB Joshua, proffered job creation “and the creation of a new social value system” as panacea to a revolution.
In what appeared to be a Sunday sermon, the late Joshua stated categorically, “God showed me this vision… I am seeing a revolution. When I say revolution. Every revolution starts by protests.”

He cautioned that at protest stage, the authorities can stop the people by an interplay of several forces including persuasion and law enforcement, but the moment it becomes a “revolution, no one can stop it. You can stop protests, but you cannot stop revolution. Revolution means, everyone is ready to go for it. I am seeing people taking to the streets.”
He cautioned the authorities not to take it lightly, because, “when it started, you’ll take it to be protests. At the end of the day, it will turn out to be a revolution.”
In his views, the revolution was bound to happen because the youths, irrespective of quality of education have found themselves jobless and hopeless, while the political class were not carrying the youth along by giving them political appointments.
According to late Joshua, it would be in the best interest of the political class not to allow the protests to start.
“It must be stopped at the beginning. When it starts as a protest, people carry placards. You carry police, you carry everything and you stop them. But when it becomes a revolution, everybody would be ready to die, so you can’t stop them,” he pointed out.
In the video clip, he set out the solutions, thus.
“God has given us the way out. The way out is job creation for our youths and the creation of a new social value system. No matter the education the youth have, whether professor or PhD, they feel they have no place in politics. And there’s no job to keep them busy.
“There must be a new orientation. In politics, the youths should be considered for important positions, such as assistant to elders. While the elders are Ministers, the youth should be junior Ministers. In all appointments into the department of politics or administration, youths should be considered as second in command. By doing this, we are training them to take over tomorrow. This is because they are leaders of tomorrow,” he asserted.
The late Joshua voiced that “This is because revolution is weapon of change that is coming. This is a vision. I am not preaching. I am not teaching. This is what I saw!”
“Revolution is coming, when people will take to the streets, because life has no value anymore.”
He made it clear that he was saying what will come to pass because it is the word of God and doesn’t care what people say or how they persecute him for speaking the truth.
Oil marketers have warned that Nigerians may soon pay as much as ₦1,500 per litre for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, as global oil prices surge following the escalating conflict involving Iran in the Middle East.
The National President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Dr. Billy Gillis-Harry, issued the warning on Tuesday while speaking on a television programme on the impact of the global crisis on fuel prices.
According to him, the current volatility in the international oil market has already pushed petrol prices above ₦1,000 per litre at the depot level, with the ex-depot price from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery now standing at about ₦1,175 per litre.
He explained that once logistics, transportation, and other operational costs are added, the final pump price could rise significantly, possibly reaching ₦1,500 per litre in the near future.
Despite concerns about the rising cost of fuel, Gillis-Harry noted that steady availability of petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery remains a major relief for Nigeria, stressing that consistent supply is better than a nationwide fuel scarcity.
He added that the refinery’s production capacity is helping to stabilize supply across the country at a time when global markets remain highly unstable.
The latest price adjustment by the Dangote Refinery marks the fourth review within two weeks. Petrol prices increased from ₦995 per litre to ₦1,175 per litre, while diesel rose from ₦1,430 to about ₦1,620 per litre.
The development comes amid a sharp spike in international crude oil prices triggered by fears of supply disruptions due to the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Brent crude recently climbed above $102 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to around $101 per barrel.
Industry analysts say the rising oil prices are already having a ripple effect on Nigeria’s downstream petroleum sector, forcing depot operators and fuel marketers to adjust their prices in response to the global market trend.
Meanwhile, the management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has stated that although Nigeria introduced a crude-for-naira arrangement to support local refineries, the facility still purchases crude oil at international market prices, leaving it exposed to global price fluctuations.
The United Nations has raised the alarm over a dramatic surge in attacks on schools worldwide, reporting a 166% increase between 2021 and 2024.
The rise highlights the escalating dangers faced by children in conflict zones.
United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nada Al-Nashif, revealed the figures during the annual meeting of the UN Human Rights Council on the rights of the child on Monday.
The session, themed “Mainstreaming the Rights of Children in Armed Conflict: Prevention and Protection,” focused on protecting children amid global conflicts.
Al-Nashif noted that the attacks were particularly concentrated in Sudan, Ukraine, the Gaza Strip, Myanmar, and Ethiopia, where children remain among the most vulnerable victims.
“In 2024, armed conflict directly affected nearly one in six children globally—about 470 million children,” she said. “Years of lost education, trauma, and lasting mental scars shape societies for generations. Long after the fighting subsides, children continue to face deadly risks.”
She highlighted Gaza as having the world’s highest number of child amputees per capita, warning that the impact of war goes far beyond immediate violence.
In Lebanon, government figures show that more than 450,000 people were displaced in less than a week, with at least 394 fatalities, including 83 children, during the 2024 conflict with Israel.
Al-Nashif also stressed the disproportionate risks for displaced children, who are more likely to die from disease linked to unsafe water and sanitation than from direct violence.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a 2025 cholera outbreak killed 340 children, underscoring the long-term consequences of conflict.
She called on states to uphold their international obligations to protect children, insisting that protecting children is “both a legal obligation and a humanitarian moral imperative.”
Also speaking at the council, Vanessa Frazier, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, warned that violence against children continued at extreme levels in 2025.
She urged mainstreaming child protection across peace, security, humanitarian, human rights, and development efforts, emphasizing that children should actively participate in shaping policies designed to safeguard them.
Frazier highlighted her office’s global campaign, “Prove It Matters,” aimed at amplifying children’s voices in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
The UN report underscores the urgent need for coordinated international action to protect children and ensure their safety in conflict zones worldwide.
Portugal officially inaugurated its new president, Antonio Jose Seguro, on Monday, pledging to bring stability to a nation shaken by political uncertainty and natural disasters.
Seguro, the centre-left candidate, won last month’s presidential run-off against far-right rival Andre Ventura, following weeks of catastrophic storms that killed at least seven people and caused approximately €4 billion ($4.6 billion) in damage.
Speaking at his swearing-in ceremony in Lisbon’s parliament, Seguro emphasized cooperation with the minority right-wing government and vowed to end the country’s “electoral frenzy.”

“I will do everything I can to put an end to this electoral frenzy,” he said, pointing to the inability of previous governments to complete their terms.
Amid global crises, including conflicts in the Middle East and a more isolationist US approach under President Donald Trump, Seguro stressed the importance of multilateralism.
“The force of law has been replaced by the power of the strongest,” he remarked.
Seguro succeeds Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, a conservative who leaves office at 77 after serving two five-year terms.
While the Portuguese presidency is largely ceremonial, Seguro’s leadership signals a commitment to political stability and international engagement.
