@Dontee___@PeterObi One Obidient was saluting Rev’d Olaleye for apologizing and I was like has anyone of them apologized for all the misinformation and abuse they have sent to this man.
Six months ago, the prophets of doom, merchants of misinformation, and self-appointed experts claimed the new tax laws would give the FG access to empty our bank accounts.
Six months later, bank accounts remain intact, businesses are operating, and Nigerians can now clearly see the difference between genuine public policy and fearmongering.
Perhaps it is time those who spread panic and falsehoods admitted they got it wrong.
One of the greatest mistakes a leader can make is to confuse constructive criticism with disloyalty.
A leader who sees every dissenting voice as an enemy will eventually be surrounded by hypocrites, bootlickers, and eye-service experts who tell him only what he wants to hear—not what he needs to hear.
True loyalty is not silent compliance; it is the courage to offer honest feedback, even when it is uncomfortable. A parent who corrects a child does not love that child any less. In the same way, citizens, advisers, and stakeholders who point out flaws in policies are often demonstrating commitment, not rebellion.
Good policies emerge from robust, honest, and constructive engagement. Bootlickers are usually transactional; their loyalty is often to their own interests rather than the progress of the people.
We need a new leadership paradigm—one that welcomes truth, encourages debate, and understands that criticism offered in good faith is one of the highest forms of loyalty.
There's no logic behind two people enjoying themselves to produce children they can't cater for and end up blaming government for their responsibility. It's like buying a car and blaming government for not maintaining it for you. Those who cannot take care of two children will go and marry multiple wives and have dozens of children!!! No nation grows that way!
1. Does Anambra State have a rail line? No.
Plans are to connect the Aba line to Owerri, but it is not yet complete.
2. Does Anambra have an independent power project? No.
The 1,500 MW Century Power Generation (CPG) in Okija is not operational.
3. How many steel plants does Anambra have?
There are many small steel operations, but only one major steel plant—the Milton Steel Manufacturing Company Limited in Akwuzu.
There are no other major industrial steel plants.
4. What about an airport? Yes.
Anambra has a state-funded airport.
I have not heard of any nation or state that has industrialised without power, rail, and steel.
Yet, the professor of economics believes that the way to industrialise the state he inherited is to build a second airport, given that it already has the largest open-air market in Africa, the largest automotive SME cluster in Africa, an inland port (the only one in the Southeast), and Onitsha, the gateway to the entire Southeast.
Scale of preference is an economic term for a reason
If the airport is so viable, let the private sector, which looks at profit build it
