retweet cost 0.00$ why are you not retweeting ๐๐๐
It just finished raining ๐ง๏ธ here what about the kids in the forest ๐ณ for 205 days plus ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
This is what 1.5 million people looks like. Just think about this.
Nigeria's population is rumoured to be 250 million.
Do you know that instead of crying, dying to terrorism & sinking in poverty, we could change our fate if 250 million people march in unity to chase APC out? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
We all need to call out this useless government
Especially the president that promised heaven & earth during his campaign and fulfilled none
Failed during first tenure still had the gut to campaign again ๐ก
You are celebrating Eid with your own families and peopleโs children are stuck with bandits
What a failure ๐ก
China has 1.4 billion people. Yet they eliminated extreme poverty by 2020. Let that sink in.
They built 48,000km of high-speed rail, more than the rest of the world COMBINED. Bullet trains gliding at 350km/h connect every major city. Beijing to Shanghai, 1,300km, costs about $50, cheaper than crossing Lagos in traffic on some days from island to mainland via uber.
In the Qinghai desert sits the worldโs largest solar farm, panels stretching to the horizon, generating power for millions. The Talatan project covers an area bigger than some entire cities. They installed more solar in 2024 alone than the US has installed in its ENTIRE history.
Off the coast of Fujian, massive offshore wind turbines taller than 80-storey buildings, some with blades longer than a football pitch, spin silently above the sea, powering millions of homes carbon-neutral.
A single one of these giants generates enough electricity in a day to power 170,000 households.
8 of the worldโs 10 longest bridges are Chinese. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge runs 55km across open sea โ a feat of engineering Western nations called impossible. The Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge stretches 165km. They build in years what takes others decades.
BYD overtook Tesla in 2024. EVs start at $10K. Robotaxis without drivers cruise the streets of 7 cities. Humanoid robots assemble cars, deliver packages, serve coffee.
Shenzhen, a fishing village 40 years ago is now a futuristic skyline of drones, AI and skyscrapers that rivals Manhattan.
Sun and salt in the desert generating power. Wind and waves at sea generating electricity. Maglev trains floating on magnetic rails. Cities built from nothing in a decade.
Meanwhile, resource-rich countries with a fraction of the population sit in darkness, debt, and decay.
So how?
How does a nation of 1.4 billion pull this off while countries with more resources, fewer mouths to feed and centuries of head-start are still stuck?
How do they move this fast, build this big, dream this far?
What are they doing that we arenโt?
There are three ministries in Nigeria that, if they truly worked together, could make life easier for Nigerians while generating billions of dollars in revenue every year.
But for that to happen, we need leaders who are willing to put Nigeria first.
The three ministries are:
1. Federal Ministry of Transportation
2. Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy
3. Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy
These ministries control sectors that could make Nigeria feel like heaven on earth.
Take tourism for example.
Nigeriaโs tourism industry contributes roughly $4โ5 billion annually.
Now compare that with the Philippines, where tourism generates close to $100 billion every year.
Yet Nigeria has more cultural diversity, more festivals, a globally influential music industry, and one of the largest film industries in the world.
Now look at the maritime sector.
The Philippines earns roughly $16โ25 billion annually from maritime and ocean industries.
Nigeria earns about $6โ8 billion.
Yet Nigeria has the largest port economy in West Africa, massive oil shipping activity, a long Atlantic coastline, and one of the biggest consumer markets in Africa
The opportunity is thereโฆ but corruption and poor coordination continue to slow progress.
The last time I visited the Philippines, I traveled from Manila to Cebu, then to Bohol, and back to Manila on a Ro-Pax vessel.
That journey made me imagine how transformative such a system could be in Nigeria.
Nigeria has eight coastal states that touch the Atlantic Ocean:
โข Lagos State
โข Ogun State
โข Ondo State
โข Delta State
โข Bayelsa State
โข Rivers State
โข Akwa Ibom State
โข Cross River State
In addition, several inland states are connected to the ocean through river systems flowing into the Niger Delta, including:
โข Anambra State
โข Edo State
โข Benue State
โข Niger State
โข Kogi State
If Nigeria fully developed inland water transport, cargo and passengers could move by boat from inland states like Kogi, Anambra, and Benue to coastal cities.
A Ro-Pax vessel earns from two main streams:
โข passenger tickets
โข vehicle and cargo transport (cars, buses, trucks)
A typical medium Ro-Pax ferry carries:
โข 800โ1000 passengers
โข 150โ200 vehicles per trip
Now imagine Nigeria building 10 major Ro-Pax routes across its rivers and coastline, operating about 20 vessels.
Routes could include:
โข Onitsha to Port Harcourt
โข Warri to Lagos
โข Lokoja to Delta State
Each vessel could generate tens of millions of dollars annually.
Across the network, that is over $600 million in direct revenue every year.
Once tourism, logistics, port activity, hotels, restaurants, and trade are factored in, the total economic value could exceed $2.4 billion annually.
And guess what? With this, we have reduced pressure on highways, lower logistics costs, reduced congestion at airports, and created thousands of jobs.
Countries like the Philippines and Norway use Ro-Pax ferry networks as national transport infrastructure.
Now imagine Nigeria expanding that vision further.
Imagine tourism and waterway agreements with other West African countries.
โข Lagos to Tema in Ghana
โข Benin Republic to Bonny Island
โข Coastal ferry routes across the Gulf of Guinea
The opportunities are PLENTY.
We have the resources.
We have the geography.
What we need is leadership that puts the country first.
Because with the right vision and the right people in government, Nigeria can truly become heaven on earth.
The funds we spend on presidential yachts, unnecessary renovations, or buying cars for judges, etc could build infrastructure that benefits millions of Nigerians. But we have leaders who are blind to this. Selfish leaders.
Nigeria is supposed to be a 1st world country.
The attached picture is what a ro-pax vessel looks like.
It accommodates both passengers and cars/trucks, etc.
President @officialABAT is running the Most Useless Government in the history of Useless Governments!!!
How many more Nigerians have to die due to this abysmal level of incompetence?
Nigerians wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other.
Unbearably heart-wrenching!!!
Everything works to my favor. Even in moments of uncertainty, I know the universe is guiding me toward the best possible outcomes.
Every delay, every detour, every challenge is a setup for something greater.
I attract blessings, opportunities and breakthroughs effortlessly.
What is meant for me will always find me and I trust that all things both seen and unseen are aligning perfectly for my success, peace and abundance.
I affirm.
