#NigeriaPolitics #GoodGovernance #PublicPolicy #NigerianReforms #AgendaSetting The role of the media is crucial for good governance, but how has the rise of social media fundamentally changed the communication landscape in Nigeria? On Data Chat, Tunde Salman dives into the shift from traditional media (radio, TV, newspapers) to a more diversified media space where citizens, using platforms like Facebook and TikTok, are increasingly participating in the agenda-setting role formerly held by conventional outlets. We discuss the current dynamic, which is a balance of both pro-government and anti-government media , and the challenge of establishing a clear, structured information strategy from the Federal Government. The importance of opposing views for a thriving democracy is highlighted, allowing Nigerians to form their own opinions based on available information. Crucially, the conversation addresses the negative impact of misinformation and disinformation on social cohesion. We also explore how policy pronouncements and economic reforms—like those leading to public hardship—must be communicated with a more proactive, consultative, and bottom-up approach to reach the grassroots level effectively through channels like market groups and town hall meetings.

#InternationalMensDay #RealMenHaveFeelings #CelebrateMen #Presence This video dives deep into the myths and realities of men's struggles, challenging common stereotypes that impose immense pressure on men today. We debunk the idea that men don't multitask , highlighting the complex technical, managerial, and family tasks men manage daily (driving, setting up meetings, family, settling bills). More critically, we address the harmful stereotype that men don't cry. While men are expected to be strong, lead, and provide , many silently struggle with mental health issues, relationship stress, and financial burdens behind closed doors. They shield their emotions, afraid to show vulnerability. This is a powerful call to support men and encourage them to speak out and express their emotions without judgment. Crying is necessary; it helps express feelings and can prevent anxiety and depression. The takeaway? It is okay not to be okay , and a man's worth is not defined by how much he earns. What is the biggest stereotype you think society needs to let go of regarding men? Let us know in the comments! ----------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 00:00:00:00 Opening 00:00:06:00 The myths 00:00:22:03 Men do not multitask 00:00:59:09 Do men cry? 00:02:05:41 It is okay to cry 00:02:18:06 Is men's worth what they earn? 00:02:38:07 Should men always be strong? 00:03:15:33 Crying is speaking out -------------------------------------------- #MensHealth #NOIPollsIMD2025 #MensVoiceMatters #MensMentalHealth #ItsOkayToCry #MenDoCry #Vulnerability #MaleStruggles #ToxicMasculinity #Stereotypes #SocietalPressure #DebunkingMyths #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety #Depression #EmotionalHealth #SupportMen #MentalWellness

#SocialProtection #EconomicProtection #safetynet This video examines the concept of social and economic protection—how societies safeguard citizens from vulnerability, shocks, and insecurity. It explores the mechanisms (such as social insurance, income support, and safety nets), the challenges of coverage and effectiveness, and asks: How safe are you in the face of economic disruption, unemployment, ageing, illness or other life-course risks? Drawing on global experience, it invites reflection on personal as well as systemic resilience. #IncomeSecurity #VulnerabilityRisk #SocialWelfare #InclusiveGrowth #ResilienceBuilding #PovertyPrevention #EconomicInclusion

President Tinubu's approval rating has climbed to 51%, but is this score telling the whole story? While economic policies grab headlines, a deeper analysis reveals a worrying disconnect: Nigerians are not feeling the benefits of "good governance." On this critical episode of NOIPolls Data Chat, Tunde Salman of Good Governance Team Nigeria unpacks the three pillars of a nation—Economy, Rights, and Liberties—and argues that focusing solely on economic metrics is a mistake. In this video, we ask the hard questions: • Why is the approval rating up when Nigerians' freedom of expression and protest seems restricted? • How does a government's respect for rights and liberties impact its true "good governance" score? • Tunde Salman explains why this 51% rating is fragile if democratic freedoms are compromised. • Are Nigerians sacrificing rights for the hope of economic stability? This is the conversation the country needs to have. Watch, debate, and let us know in the comments: Can a government be "good" if its citizens can't freely protest? 🔔 Subscribe for data-driven insights that challenge the headlines! #GoodGovernance #NigeriaRights #Tinubu #FreedomOfSpeech #ProtestRights #NigerianDemocracy #51PercentApproval #TundeSalman #NOIPolls #DataChat

President Bola Tinubu's approval rating has been a wild rollercoaster since his inauguration in May 2023. From the post-inauguration optimism to the harsh reality of economic reforms, the numbers tell a dramatic story. But what are the exact events that made Nigerians either approve or disapprove? In this video, we break down the 2023-Present Timeline of Tinubu's approval ratings, linking the major rises and falls to key government actions and national crises, including: • The Big Boom: Why the approval rating was highest right after the Fuel Subsidy removal announcement (The initial "shock" phase). • The Deep Dive: How the Naira's free-fall and crippling inflation caused the rating to hit its lowest point. • The Bounce Back: Which recent policies or events are driving the latest upswing in public sentiment (e.g., security wins, palliative measures, or currency stabilization efforts). • The Political Barometer: What these numbers really mean for the future of the administration.

The numbers are UP! President Tinubu's approval rating hit 51% in September, signaling positive movement in Nigeria's macro economy.1 But wait... why are everyday Nigerians still struggling? 🤔 On this episode of Data Chat, Tunde Salman of Good Governance Team Nigeria breaks down the startling paradox. He explains why the 'big picture' economic policies haven't translated into micro economic relief—meaning more money in your pocket. In this video, you will find out: • What's driving the 51% approval rating? (The 'Macro' Wins) • The painful truth about inflation and cost of living (The 'Micro' Crisis) • Why the positive economic data isn't trickling down to the average Nigerian. • Tunde Salman's call to action for the government to fix the "stomach infrastructure."

As Nigeria celebrates its 65th Independence Day celebration, a recent nationwide poll conducted by NOIPolls reveals a profound inconsistency in public sentiment. While 81 percent of citizens express pride in their Nigerian identity, 60 percent believe the country is moving in the wrong direction since gaining independence in 1960. This disconnect reflects a complex national mentality where emotional attachment to Nigeria coexists with widespread dissatisfaction with governance and developmental outcomes.

Who says work has to mean burnout? 💼🔥 At NOIPolls, our Ergonomics session showed us how tiny shifts — better posture, mindful breaks, and smarter movement — can power up focus, energy, and calm. Now we’re working sharp, standing tall, and keeping stress in check. ⚡🧘‍♂️

Despite regional efforts by ECOWAS to promote economic integration and ease the movement of people and goods, several barriers continue to hinder cross-border trade and migration. Dr. Adedeji Adeniran speaks on the barriers to trade and migration

ECOWAS plays a vital role in promoting regional integration across West Africa by facilitating free trade and the free movement of people. ECOWAS works to eliminate trade barriers, enhance economic cooperation, and allow citizens of member states to travel, reside, and work freely within the region—strengthening economic ties and fostering regional unity. #NOIPollsOnDataChat #NOIPollsVoices

As a country, Nigeria is referred to as the largest economy in Africa with the ability to freely trade and move goods, services, and people across its borders. On the Data Chat segment Director of Research, Centre for the Study of the Economics of Africa, Dr. Adedeji Adeniran gives context to free movement and trade in across borders in Nigeria. #NOIPollsOnDataChat #NOIPollsVoices

Free movement and trade across borders are essential pillars of Nigeria’s economic development. As a leading country in West Africa, Nigeria plays a significant role in promoting regional integration through trade agreements and mobility frameworks. Debe Nwanze, Senior Research Associate speaks on businesses he would start and why on Data Chat to set the tone for the conversation.

An abstract titled "Leveraging Grassroots Narratives to Redefine Women's Leadership in Nigeria" was presented at the Gender and Inclusion Summit 2025. It showcased data from an @noipollslimited2126 poll on the subject to highlight the need to have everyday narratives of ordinary Nigerians to redefine traditional frameworks of leadership and inform inclusive community-centred strategies. GS25 was hosted by @policyinnovationcentre

Friday August 29, 2025, the NOIPolls team took a day off to unwind and bond. From a game to charade, ball in the cup, jump the tape, in and out, to guess the name. The outing was fun, fulfilling and affirming. A team is as good and the health and life-work balance of its members. A better team works even better.

Policies do not work unless they serve the people they are made for. A shift from control to care, from blame to solutions. Youth-centered prevention programs, accessible rehab and mental health support, community-driven enforcement and transparent monitoring & evaluation are imperative to addressing drugs and substance abuse in Nigeria. This is a public health issue — not just a criminal one. It’s time to act! #NOIPollsOnDataChat #MentalHealthMatters #SayNoToDrugs

Policy is power — when backed by actions. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency ( @ndleaTV ) is implementing bold policies to curb illicit drug use. Here is what the Assistant Commander of Narcotics and Acting Assistant Director, Media and Advocacy @ndleaTV, Francis Okogun had to say on existing and new policies aimed at addressing abuse. #NOIPollsOnDataChat #MentalHealthMatters #SayNoToDrugs

With millions of young Nigerians active and their social media presence across platforms, the agency has embraced efforts through school engagements and digital communications to amplify messages on the dangers and effect of drugs and substance abuse. - Francis Okogun, Assistant Commander of Narcotics and Acting Assistant Director, Media and Advocacy, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency @ndleaTV

"Drugs don’t heal pain — they mask it. Substance abuse deepens mental health struggles, turning temporary escape into long-term suffering. Let’s choose real support over silence." #MentalHealthMatters #SayNoToDrugs
