A colloquium is an academic conference, seminar, or formal meeting where experts, scholars, or students gather to discuss a specific topic, present research, and engage in question-and-answer sessions.
In Nigeria, every political rally is a colloquial colloquium
New every morning.
Today itโs insomnia, next month back pain. A month after, migraines. To keep things spicy, you donโt know which youโre getting. You prep for insomnia, but you get constipation or diarrhoea
This is a very insensitive thing to say, and it underscores just how downplayed issues of mental health are in Nigeria. A senate president shouldnโt be making jest of a topic as important as this one.

Scaring Investors While Celebrating Macroeconomic Stability!
As the APC-led government continue in their delusional celebration of Nigeria's macroeconomic stability, the warning from the United States Government to prospective investors on inherent risks in Nigeria, further affirms the general and correct assessment that President Bola Tinubu-led government is incompetent, ineffective and corrupt.
In the 2026 Nigeria Investment Climate Statement, the U.S. Department of State clearly flagged corruption, insecurity, inconsistent regulatory enforcement and weaknesses in the judicial system, cargo delays and power sector challenges as key factors undermining investor confidence in Nigeria. The report went further to caution investors of the possible use of arbitrary detention, travel restriction and immigration enforcement to coerce foreign businesses in Nigeria.
As the report unambiguosly stated: โU.S. businesses are advised that standard business trips can escalate into detention if the firm is under regulatory suspicion or faces charges by Nigerian authorities. Nigeria has previously employed coercive exit bans and arbitrary detention as leverage in commercial or regulatory disputes, and to extract data or financial concessions from multinational firms. Port inefficiency remains a significant โhidden taxโ on investment. While the Lekki Deep Seaport, which opened in 2023, significantly eased pressure in 2025 โ handling $9.6 billion in trade and operating at 50 percent capacity โ traditional ports in Apapa and Tin Can still suffer from cargo dwell times exceeding 20 days due to manual examinations.โ
In a nation with an effective, competent and attentive government, this kind of adverse report would have elicited immediate intervention by the President and Commander in Chief ordering prompt investigation, follow-up and effective action to ensure that our most endowed Nigeria is not perceived negatively by one of our key trading partners, friendly nations and expectedly the global economy. This is even more important given our desperation for Foreign Direct Investment.
Unfortunately, our incompetent APC- led government cannot give what they donโt have as they are the real perpetrators of the issues raised by the U.S. Government. This explains why Nigeria is unable to attract Foreign Direct Investment commensurate with our market size and potential. Of the $10.37 billion in total capital importation in the first quarter of 2026, only $135.08 million (about 1.3% of the total inflows) was Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), while about $9.86 billion (about 95.1% of the total inflows) went into Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) with loans and other capital streams accounting for the remaining.
If not that we have deeply foolish and unwise individuals as lawmakers, how can you sit down and try to rationalize prison time for attempted suicide? What exactly is that supposed to do? Why are we cursed in this country? Please why???
