A social media storm erupted after Rufai Oseni, a prominent Nigerian journalist and Arise TV anchor, expressed skepticism about the reported clearance of Nigeria’s debt by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

On May 8, 2025, Oseni posted on X, stating he was “yet to see a full release by IMF” on the matter, prompting a sharp reaction from Daddy D.O, an aide to President Bola Tinubu. Daddy D.O fired back, accusing Oseni of being perpetually miserable about positive news concerning Nigeria, adding, “May his bitterness never end.”

The controversy stems from a Nigerian NewsDirect report on May 7, 2025, which claimed that the IMF confirmed Nigeria’s clearance of all legacy debts, a milestone hailed by IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva as a “critical turning point” for the nation’s economic trajectory.

However, Oseni’s demand for an official IMF statement sparked debate, with some X users supporting his call for transparency, while others, like Daddy D.O, viewed it as unnecessary cynicism.
