It’s insane that the Nigerian GDP per capita is now half of what it was just over a decade ago. 2015 was a disaster that should never have happened. And those who drove us there are now fully entrenched in power.

If all we had was just a 1% growth year over year in the past 12 years, Nigerians would have been doing dangerous things by now.

[Zarathustra of Finance @knightofdelta]

I ran a Monte Carlo simulation to determine how long it will take Nigeria to get back to $3,000, using values derived from the past 21 years of data.

Starting Value: $1,556
Target Value: $3,000
Average growth rate: 2.5%
Volatility: 19.1%
Number of iterations: 10,000

The earliest Nigeria can get back to $3,000 is likely to be 2041. And that will involve a lot of miracle including oil price shocks and not voting the way we voted between 2015 - 2023. And that will be a miracle.

All things being equal, if things continue as they have been over the past 12 years, then we have to wait for 2123.

I’m sorry.

My wife’s driver stole her car last week: he was last seen in VI. All efforts to reach him have been futile.

He is from Jato Aka, Benue state. Please anyone with useful information should share.🙏🏾

I’m now supporting Tinubu and his government to deal with Nigerians until they have had enough. Go harder Tinubu; Nigerians are really enjoying your regime.

Queen's College Old Girls also stormed Rivers State to sing their School Song for their Oldest Old Girl at the Funeral Service for my Mum which was held yesterday. I do not think Abonnema has ever seen such a large gathering of QC Old Girls before. A delightful way to honour one of their own. I hail them 🙋🏽‍♂️

One person was killed during the #OccupyNigeria protests under PDP and GEJ and the Govt ensured the trigger-happy policeman was prosecuted and convicted.

The progressives in power since 2015 have killed more innocents during mass protests with Bola Tinubu’s seeming consent.

No to The Return of Emirates Airlines to Nigeria

The gleeful announcement of the return of Emirates Airline to Nigeria by the Hon. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, on X is a sad reminder of the deepening lack of national pride and the growing irrelevance of Nigeria in the World.

The audacity of Emirates Airlines to even consider returning to Nigeria reeks of contempt and disdain towards our nation. The actions of the government of UAE and their airline, Emirates, from the unwarranted visa ban on all Nigerians to the suspension of flights, have been nothing short of a blatant attack on the dignity of Nigerians.

During my time as Aviation Minister, Emirates Airlines enjoyed an unprecedented two slots to Lagos and one slot to Abuja granted by my predecessor and sustained over the years. This gesture showed Nigeria's desire to forge close relationships and build regional alliances in the Gulf.

Yet, when Nigeria faced economic challenges, Emirates shamelessly abandoned us while other airlines stood by us. Emirates Airlines, arguably the wealthiest airline in the world, was the only airline that suspended operations.

All the African and European Airlines, equally owed by the Nigerian government, continued operating and weathered the storm with us as a people—a remarkable show of solidarity and a vote of confidence on a market they had enjoyed for decades.

Emirates Airlines, like UAE's Mubadala, the major investor in Etisalat Nigeria, fled at the first sign of trouble, leaving Nigerians stranded and insulted by their mean behaviour. They did not just walk away. The UAE government imposed an egregious visa ban on all Nigerians.

The imposition of a visa ban on all Nigerians is an unwarranted and vile display of aggression and dehumanisation of Nigerians.

Nigerians must say no to the unjustified stigmatisation and degradation of Nigerians, almost akin to the ghettos of 20th-century Europe. A national visa ban suggests a desire to humiliate and cast a slur on a people as a group.

The behaviour of the UAE government and their Airline is an unprovoked attack, and Nigeria should insist on a wholesome redress. As we speak, there is no word yet on the visa ban and no apology to Nigerians.

The Nigerian government must not allow Emirates Airlines to waltz back into our skies without being held accountable for their disrespectful and demeaning conduct. We demand a thorough investigation and restitution before even considering their return.

Respect for our nation and people is non-negotiable and an irreducible minimum. We will not allow our pride to be trampled upon by arrogant corporations or foreign governments.

This administration must reaffirm our priceless sovereignty at all times.

Our sovereignty is not for sale.
