You know why things like this don't trend? Because it is not a bad review. Let's make this trend please

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Gentlemen, when someone misbehaves, do not react so angrily that your response overshadows the initial misbehaviour and now becomes the issue.

Don’t end up being the one needing to apologise when you were initially the victim of bad behaviour.

Be clear that you will not accept or tolerate the misbehaviour, but be measured in how you express your disapproval. This is especially important when you are in a position of authority over the other person. It is also especially important in your relationship with your woman.

I am Ezemmuo. I know things.

In 2019, all my friends japa’d.
UK, Canada, Germany.

My group chat became timezone math.

They said: “Girl, you’re wasting here.”

I stayed.

A thread on why they work for me now:

Lagos was hard. I sold thrift jeans in Yaba. ₦1500 profit per pair if I was lucky.

NEPA took light. Police took bribes.

My Canada friend: “Girl just leave this country.” I couldn’t. Dad was sick. Someone had to stay.

2021, I noticed something.
All my japa friends wanted Nigerian food.

Kilos of garri, crayfish, dry fish in every cargo box.
Shipping was ₦8k/kg. Slow. Stressful.

I thought: “What if I sell them Nigeria… from Nigeria?”

I started with ₦40k. Packed small food boxes.
Elubo, ogbono, suya spice, kilishi. Posted in their UK WhatsApp groups: “Miss home? I go ship am.”

First month: 12 orders.
Second month: 80.
By month 6, DHL gave me a corporate account.

Today we ship 3 tons of “home” monthly.
UK, US, Canada, Ireland.
My warehouse is in Egbeda.
My 4 biggest customers?
The same friends who begged me to japa.
One is now my Head of UK Ops. He japa’d… to work for me.

They left to find greener pasture. I watered mine.

Japa isn’t the only win.
Sometimes the real flex is staying and building the road others drive on.

I’m not anti-japa. I’m pro-options.

If you’re abroad: respect. The hustle is real.

If you’re here: look around. Your “problem” might be someone else’s ₦10M business.

What’s one “Nigerian problem” you can sell to the world?

@osazenoo PBAT is below 5/10 on both Security and Power.

[Ekeoma I. Anya @IEkeoma]

@StephenE62968 @AshE_Nuel A substantial part of the process lies outside the banking system.

The delays come largely from the process of getting a letter of administration, which has a specific time frame for each stage of the process.

Once you secure the letter, the bank proceeds to do the rest.

[Ekeoma I. Anya @IEkeoma]

@Mrhardbone55 @AshE_Nuel You are entitled to your opinion, sir.

[Ekeoma I. Anya @IEkeoma]

@AshE_Nuel In the banking system, NOK is primarily an alternative contact person in case the account holder is unaccessible.

NOK's no reach where money dey just by being named as NOK.

[Ekeoma I. Anya @IEkeoma]

@Tonybrainy I rate him well below 50% on power and security.

Every administration has always put in one form of effort or the other in addressing key challenges. What matters to the citizens is the result and nothing more.

[Ekeoma I. Anya @IEkeoma]

I just went through the comments and quotes on Oladepo Caleb Okugbenga's post. He credited NELFUND for supporting him in becoming the Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, but the dishonesty in some replies is alarming.

You can criticize the Tinubu government for many things, some of it valid, but when it comes to NELFUND, let us be honest. It is a lifesaver.

I am a 500-level medical student at UI. I have been on NELFUND for three consecutive years. They recently paid my school fees and the fees of thousands of UI students this session. That is not a rumor. That is real. NELFUND currently supports students with full academic fee payment sent directly to the school and a monthly upkeep allowance of twenty thousand naira paid directly to the student.

Now let me address the common lies people spread.

Some say it is a loan, so it is not helpful. Yes, it is a loan, but it is interest-free. Tell me one loan app in Nigeria that gives you zero interest.

Others say the repayment is a burden. But repayment only starts after you have graduated, finished NYSC, and found a job. If you are unemployed, you pay nothing. If you lose your job, the payments stop automatically. That is not a burden. That is safety.

Some people claim NELFUND has no impact on students. That is simply false. I am an admin in a group helping students apply successfully. Many higher institutions and scholarship bodies now advise students to take advantage of this loan so they can use their own money for other needs that bring financial stability.

Another lie is that the government made education expensive just to introduce the loan. Federal schools are still highly subsidized. We all know what our mates in private schools pay per session, millions of naira. Our fees, even after adjustments, are a fraction of that.

Most of the people throwing shade at NELFUND are not even in school anymore. They have no idea how the scheme operates today.

Let me be clear. I am not saying we should stop scrutinizing government spending. We absolutely should. But when a good initiative works, we must have the maturity to acknowledge it. NELFUND is keeping real students in school. That is a fact.

Let us not allow dishonesty to rob others of this opportunity.
