@ElonMuskZAB I would love to be silent about it but the volume of the money will naturally change my life style and of cause, the source of the money will become questionable if not revealed. So, No.
I’ve just watched President Tinubu��s media chat and here are my thoughts. Please read to the end:
1. When a President invites you into their home for a media chat, a certain level of decorum would be expected of the interviewers. You can challenge but with decorum and facts.
2. However, when HE throws a challenge, good interviewers should accept that challenge with relish. They should do so in order to get an insight into his mindset for the benefit of the public.
3. So, on cost of governance, when he said he needs all his Ministers, they should have asked him why he feels he needs a Ministry of Livestock Development when he already has a Ministry of Agriculture. Why couldn’t the Ministry of Agriculture do whatever it was he wanted the Livestock MInistry to do?
Why does he need a Ministry of Police Affairs when the IGP, by law, reports directly to him and the Nigeria Police Council is empowered to make policy for the Police Force? Why does the Police Affairs Ministry have a budget of over N1 Trillion!
What has happened to the Oronsaye Report implementation that he set up a committee and gave them 12 weeks in March to report?
4. When he said his Ministers are all delivering and challenged them to name any that weren’t, it was a golden opportunity to put to him what the public think and to hear his views. It would also have exposed where the Ministers might be working but were failing to communicate. For instance, he said Prof Pate of the Ministry of Health is doing excellently well. They should have asked him what it was he was doing exactly?
They should have asked what the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy has achieved in 18 months? They should have relayed the surprise of many that the Minister of Power survived the recent reshuffle.
When he said that our internet provision is not where it should be, they should have asked him what the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy is doing about it.
5. When he said he had ensured the financial autonomy of Local Governments, they should have asked him why the FGN itself was not complying with the Supreme Court ruling and sending monies direct to LGAs?
6. Overall, I think that the interviewers were somewhat star struck, perhaps because it was the first one. I also think that there were too many interviewers, with everyone having to be allowed to ask a question to represent their media house. That meant that there was little interactiveness, even when the President offered opportunities for robust exchange.
I hope that future media chats would be more robust.✌🏽

If you’re not devoting your time to the Almighty on a daily basis, you’re less likely to be able to handle the stress when things go wrong. You’ll be turning to Him in a knee-jerk reaction, expecting Him to fix everything. Is that fair?
Whatever happens, even when all your plans fail and all doors seem shut, cry out to the All-Knowing, seek refuge in Him. He'll find a way out for you. Trust Him.
Do you have trust issues? Do you think the Almighty won’t answer your prayers? He has brought you this far. Do you think He will abandon you? He has written your whole life story. Move on with firm faith and trust the next chapter because you know the Author.
The Almighty knows what you need and when you need it. So thank Him for every closed door now because He may open it later. Trust Him because His way is the best.
Face your trials head on. No matter what you’re going through, keep your heart firm in faith. You can't escape what's meant for you. Seek the Almighty’s help. Patience and prayer will see you through.
With all the hustle and bustle going on around you, don’t neglect rest. Rest is self-care. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s crucial to your well-being so you can come back stronger. Don’t ignore it. Rest up.
There’s beauty in privacy. Read that again. Resist the temptation to publicize your life on social media. Everything isn’t meant to be on display. Keep things away from the public eye which can easily turn into the evil eye. People can't destroy what they don't know.
Whenever you feel sorry for yourself, know that there are people in worse conditions. Be grateful for what you have. Remember, the Almighty can take it all away. Everything is under His control.
You may be in the depths of despair but remember, storms don’t last forever. They can shake you to the core. But they will pass. The Almighty has promised us, with hardship comes ease. So the rain will stop eventually and you’ll find peace after the chaos.
Are you tired of holding on? Do you keep wondering if the Almighty hears your pleas? Don’t let such thoughts cloud your mind. It’s the work of Satan. Ask your Maker to strengthen you. Ask Him to renew your hope. Ask Him to send you signs that things will get better! Just ask Him!
Almighty. Forgive us for the times we forget to thank You for the countless blessings You’ve bestowed on us. Our hearts are filled with gratitude. Life can get hard & we struggle to keep our heads above water. Help us to choose trust, hope & patience when we don’t see a way out.
