Nigeria has changed. The question is: Has it changed enough for global investors?
For years, foreign investors stayed away from Nigeria because of one major concern: Getting their money in was easy. Getting it out wasn't.
The infrastructure is better. The market is deeper. The reforms are real.
But now the challenge is proving to global investors that speed and accessibility can coexist.Because if Nigeria gets this right...The next wave of capital may not go into Treasury Bills, it may go straight into the stock market.

What the lecturer did here is out of place and should never be allowed to happen. However, the attitude of treating/beating people this way due to what they must have done is equally wrong. I understand emotions are very high but a lot of things can go wrong here.
The HOD of History and International Studies at Northwest University (formerly Yusuf Maitama University) a visiting lecturer at MAAUN (Mariam Abacha American Nigerian University) was beaten mercilessly by an angry husband.
Why? He kept rejecting the man’s wife’s project for the past 2 years, then demanded to have an affair with her in exchange for approval. The MAAUN student exposed him, told her husband, and they set the trap. He showed up for the meet-up… and received the beating of his life!
I believe what we need here is a structure that makes these guys see the possibility and growth their business carry. There is need for a defined, conscious policy that target these businesses. I have interest in the Agric sector with options for future collaborations.
Some of Africa's biggest businesses never make the headlines.
There are billionaires in Kano who don't look like billionaires at all.
No flashy lifestyle. No social media flexing. No daily interviews.
They're too busy building businesses, creating wealth, and thinking long term.

I have never worn a wig
I may never wear one till Jesus comes. But that’s just me
A whole lot of women love wigs and wear them
Some say it’s very convenient
Some say it affords them freedom to up and go without doing too much
Some just love how they look with a wig on and that’s valid.
It looks dope and all and you do you queen. Love it for you
My post yesterday had nothing to do with liking or not liking wigs or what each woman chooses to which was why I said “ a lot” of women not all women
Which was why I did not just mention wigs. I also mentioned skin colour but somehow you all disagreeing did not touch that one
So let’s go to school a bit and unpack this discuss a bit more
I mentioned that I had a problem with the version of wig wearing that is used to hide our hair.
I mean black hair. Kinky, coily, shrinky, you get the gist .
Some said it was the styling problem and not a natural hair problem
But Sister Marie bliss styled hers too. She wore a full face of makeup and somehow a lot of black Nigerian women still felt she did not do enough for her big day.
All of a sudden we want to pretend we don’t know that many times, a black womans hair is not considered “made” until it’s tamed
Our hair that is naturally curly and kinky is a raw material that must be processed and relaxed to oblivion and flat ironed till its proteins are denatured before society considers it “styled”
The doctor in question was not doing surgery. She was not in a professional capacity. She was doing a photoshoot and left her hair in a twist out.
And some people called her mad. Because her hair was not laid sleek
Have you asked yourself what birth relaxers?
Have you asked yourself what birth flat irons?
Are you aware that a lot of women are fired from their work place because an Afro is considered a political statement and too intense for a work environment?
But a Scottish woman with wild red curly hair is considered ethereal
This is the same mindset that birth cancer causing whitening cream. And brightening. And lightening
Because one of the yokes the colonial masters dropped on our shoulders is that you’re not good enough if you don’t look like a white woman
A lot of Nigerians are still colourists. A light skinned baby is considered more cute and we still check the ears of a new born to see if they would darken with time.
Because black is dirty
A dark armpit is gross. Your dark inner thighs are disgusting
I’m passionate about fashion. Fashion is not just clothes.
It starts from inside. It starts from loving yourself, seeing yourself as beautiful.
The clothes we wear, the accessories, the hair , the skin, they are all just to accentuate who we already are inside.
And as a society we should be open to relearning ourselves dropping the shackles we still hold from the era when black men were seen as no better than cattle.
Blessings!
PS: 4C in all its glory innit🤭😌

I'm starting my first comedy tour this weekend and I'm emotional, excited and nervous all for the same reason: I've never done this before. The dream of every comedian is to tour with his set and then drop his/her special. Before now, I've just done my shows in Lagos and recorded them at the same time. Now I'm touring six cities!!! By myself. People are buying tickets to watch me in Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Lagos. It can only be God. Can't wait to rock with you guys when I come to your city. Tickets are still selling on https://t.co/pLNFrHVQY7
The Delusional Tour!!!
❗JUST NOW : Nigerian music superstar populaly known as PORTABLE, is set to open a free restaurant in Ogun State Nigeria., where Orphans & homeless people can go and Eat for free, He is planning to Establish this, with branches in all the 20 local government area in Ogun states, with budget Estimation of $650m for a start, the project will kick start immediately the state government approved it.
There is only one person who can make a case for Diddy and make it make sense! And the only reason he can do that, is because he is undoubtedly a very good student of history!
He starts off very soft, and explains that Diddy once stood up for him when he was being physically assaulted on stage, then quickly takes us to 1910, a time when being black was criminal. He takes us through the life and times of the first black World Heavy Weight Boxing Champion, Jack Johnson, a man who was bigger than life for his time, and how one law was put in place to specifically deal with him, because not only was he embarrassing white men in the boxing ring, beating up their ass really good, but he was also sleeping with white women and that is something the white men could not stand.
Many years later, the same law would be used to hand Diddy Jail time. Before you through your unfounded opinions, you should know that a couple of years back, the same whites went on to pardon Johnson, posthumously, because they knew what they had done was wrong. But Dave tells it deeper than I have summed it up here, becauee he is a good student of history.
The story runs deep, connects to Martin Luther, to John McCain, The 1990s & early 2000s HipHop Police, and Stevie Wonder! Go watch it if you haven’t!
Major Nigerian transport companies like GIG Mobility, GUO, Peace Mass Transit, ABC Transport, Chisco, Young Shall Grow, Ekeson, and Ifesinachi are all owned by Igbo entrepreneurs.
This Christmas, fuel prices have dropped sharply across the country, yet transport fares to the East have doubled.
Why the sharp increase when costs have fallen? Isn’t this greed? Why make the journey home so much harder for your own people during the festive season?
