STATES, LIKE PEOPLE, HAVE MOMENTS

In my Abia at 35 lecture today, I reflected on two such moments.

At the beginning of the Fourth Republic, the South East was searching for voice and relevance in the new democratic order. Orji Uzor Kalu understood that moment. Young, assertive and politically visible, he put Abia firmly in the national conversation. Abia punched above its weight.

Over time, that moment faded. Infrastructure deteriorated, the state's national standing diminished, and Aba increasingly seemed to succeed despite government rather than because of it.

That decline created another moment.

Alex Otti appears to have understood this one: a moment to restore confidence in government, rebuild infrastructure and recover Abia's sense of possibility.

But this raises the deeper question I explored today.

We often say Africa needs strong institutions, not strong men. I agree that no society should depend indefinitely on one individual. But who creates strong institutions when the institutions themselves are weak?

Before there were the Ten Commandments, there was Moses.

My argument is that the real choice is not between strong leaders and strong institutions. At critical moments, societies need leaders with the capacity to build institutions that eventually become stronger than their founders.

The strongman makes himself indispensable. The strong leader builds a system that can eventually work without him.

That is the opportunity before Abia today.

Can the present Abia moment become the permanent Abia standard?

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.

Much appreciated, @US_FDA!

@osita_chidoka This only excludes the selfish criminal politicians of the SE, not the SE in essence.

For all the previously held positions, what is to show for it aside personal benefit? What has the SE gained as a region from producing senate presidents etc.

@AnfieldWatch 2000. The rise of a young scouser - Steven Gerrard, and then I discovered the club's history.

I'm going to mention 2 things about the Nigeria Police Force that I guarantee most people here don't know, which will provide context for why these things keep happening and why no single police officer including the IG himself has the power to change anything.

Doyin Okupe is trending for a ‘crime’ he committed working for a PDP presidential campaign and PDP people are spreading the news gleefully. Hmm irony. You are actually mocking yourself. You are endorsing Buhari attack against you after the 2015 election for being a corrupt party

Peter Obi’s worst critics are mostly Igbo politicians who feel they are more deserving than Peter Obi to be President of Nigeria.
