A government document can be public and still be almost impossible to find. It may sit on a ministry website with a broken search function, disappear when the site is redesigned, or survive …
Most financial claims in Nigerian politics are built so that nobody can audit them. A state was transformed, nothing was inherited, billions were saved, every obligation was cleared, and by …
For the last few weeks, most people here have known Dr Vero through investigations. A budget line that did not make sense, a government programme buried inside thousands of pages, a number r…
I posted here for the first time on 1 September , with no name in this subreddit, no history, and no particular reason for anyone to read past the title. That was twenty posts and twenty-sev…
It is time.
For weeks, you’ve waited.
Some of you believed the record was coming. Some of you questioned whether it ever would. Some of you asked when, why the silence, and whether there…
Fair warning *: this one is long, and it gets more technical as it goes. Read as far as the box with the budget line in it and then decide if those three lines don't stop you, nothing after …
I searched a 2,635-page budget for “National Forest Guard.” It appeared once inside the President’s aircraft budget.
I typed four words into Nigeria’s 2,635 page 2026 Appropriation Act: NA…
The numbers come directly from the Budget Office of the Federation . We compared its 2025 First, Second and Third Quarter Budget Implementation Reports and found that the same 2025 Amended B…
A number of people have asked questions about Dr. Vero, VERO Record, the research, the sources behind the work, previous investigations and what comes next. Rather than answering these quest…
On October 1, as promised, VERO RECORD will publish the complete Tinubu Files
more than 500 pages of documents, records, connections and research.
This is not a teaser and it is not an…
In August, President Tinubu ordered a comprehensive forensic audit of IPPIS, federal agencies and the systems surrounding them. The stated goal was simple: verify which institutions have a l…
Someone recently asked how they could verify our authenticity. I’ve been thinking about that question because the answer says more about VERO than any biography could.
We don’t want your …
The EFCC showed us where some of the money allegedly ended up. We went backwards to find where it started.
Two former refinery managing directors. Two separate EFCC cases. Port Harcourt a…
Sowore wasn’t getting a free pass either. We’ve looked at Tinubu, Atiku, Obi and others, and the standard stays the same. He has been especially vocal lately, so we went back through his own…
Nigeria has already heard the simple version of this story: a man allegedly created a fake presidential agency. But when we went back through the dates and documents, the more important ques…
Something has changed here, and if you have been following closely, you probably noticed it too.
Our reach has dropped. Some posts barely move. Comments sometimes do not seem to register …
This week, Tinubu’s Presidency told Nigerians to separate the actual US court case from political speculation. That part is correct. The case before Judge Beryl Howell is a civil Freedom of …
This week, Atiku Abubakar responded to a new petition asking the EFCC to revisit allegations from his years as Vice-President. His response was straightforward: anyone with credible evidence…
When we started looking into Tinubu, some people assumed we must be working for the opposition. Then we opened the Obi files, and suddenly some of the same accusations changed direction: now…
DON’T TRUST POLITICIANS? WE TOOK PETER OBI’S ADVICE.
Some of you told me the Tinubu preview was too vanilla.
Fair enough.
You wanted more heat.
So here it is.
Peter Obi rece…
Before October 1, I want to show you a small example of how the files actually work.
One claim that kept coming up during the research was that Bola Tinubu was a CIA asset.
We looked i…
This one is a little different today. No politics. No investigations.
No debates.
Simply Nigerian history. Over a millennium ago long before the modern country of Nigeria existed , a f…
Before the Files Begin
Some of the comments under my first posts made me think.
People asked whether releasing a major dossier this close to an election was partisan. Others called it …
You asked for it. You’re getting it.
Before the Tinubu Files go live, I want to make one thing clear: who I am, why I’m doing this, and what Dr. Vero actually stands for.
I am Nigerian…
