I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows...
I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
(I believe by Elvis Presley)
On judgment day, God will say, "Where are those entrepreneurs from Nigeria? Once we raise our hands, he will say, Okay, you cannot be punished twice, go to heaven." - Aliko Dangote.
When I keep saying that there is no difference between Nigerian "elites" and the average mai ruwa in Tundun-Waziri, it looks like I'm doing too much. Nigeria has one of the world's few truly classless societies where almost everybody genuinely thinks at the same level.
The same lack of foresight that makes the mai ruwa collect spaghetti and N2,000 to vote against his own interest every 4 years, is what makes billionaire industrialists support candidates with zero economic track record, business credentials, or shared geopolitical alignment with them.
If you knew that the APC candidate was a foreign proxy working for external powers who have a vested interest in maintaining Nigeria's lack of industrialisation and its continued cheap export of unprocessed natural resources, why would you, as a business person - whose wealth comes from industrial processes and a growing economy - ever support such a candidate?
This was the same rubbish that the chatterbox, empty-head middle classes did too in 2015, when they carried their Dubai-weekend-visiting, monthly-ASUS-ordering, 7% annual GDP-growing, $510bn economy and handed it over to an illiterate who has still never proved that he completed secondary school, because the Otuoke man with the funny hat had a shouty wife and something something Diezani, something something $20bn, something corruption, something something Chibok.
A society made up of people who cannot visualise the future!
Aliko Dangote is a crony capitalist whose parasitic practises stunt the economy instead of growing it. That is true. However, the ongoing extrajudicial destruction of the Dangote business organisation by the Tinubu regime is not at all something to celebrate.
Bola Tinubu has never created 1 naira of legitimate economic value in his life. His entire career history has been drug trafficking and other forms of organised crime and electoral politics. Aliko Dangote may need state capture and government-enforced monopoly to make money, but he has - at least theoretically - created billions of dollars in economic value.
A career criminal and foreign intelligence asset who has never created N1 of value for anybody has no business destroying the legitimate economic output of anyone - including a state-backed crony. Both of them want Nigerians to be poor, but the latter at least needs us to be alive to be able to work for him and buy his output.
Also, the example of Japanese and Korean industrialisation shows that a serious government finds ways to integrate entities like Dangote into its national growth plan instead of making enemies out of them and trying to destroy them.
I'm no fan of what Dangote describes as "business," but I'll co-exist with 15 Dangotes over 1 Tinubu.
On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.
I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
Moving forward if u have problems with the fact that Phyna openly admitted she had abortion & her opinion on abortion, please take her to court & stop disturbing us with d holier than thou dragging. Take her to court & plead ur case 📌 #Bbnaija
Phyna is this, she is that, we hear.
Phyna is an abortionist, she has done abortion, okay we hear.
#AbortionIsHealthcare is a world movement with ppl championing it openly so I can't hate Phyna for her opinion.
Phyna will always have fans u can't change that
So, what next now?
When u came out of the house, I tagged & told u that " you should accept that it's okay not to be understood and stop trying to explain, defend or 'give a reason why' all the time".
Phyna u r one with many against u, use ur energy wisely.
Focus on urself, keep growing positively.
.@unusualphyna u have right to ur opinion but never generalize or come off as imposing ur opinion. Know when to present opinion as fact and when not.
The happenings of yesterday should be an eye opener.
You are a good girl with a good heart but sadly u may never be understood.
