I hope the new NYSC reforms recognise the rights of religious people to observe their religious dictates freely, without intimidation or harassment of NYSC officials, especially in the case of Muslim women who observe the Hijab.

They should not be compelled to wear bum shorts or short-sleeved shirts just because they want to obey the national call.

I can’t believe that modern men have actually allowed “push gift” to become a thing in this generation.

Weak men create hard times indeed.

Have you ever got confused about the Yoruba incantation terminologies: Ọfọ̀, Ògèdè, Àyájọ́ and Àásán?

I explained these terms with relatable examples in this video. Enjoy!

That hatred for Tinubu is partly because he practically took away the favourite talking points of many political analysts.

For years, the daily conversation was the same: Remove subsidy, float the exchange rate, establish state police, and devolve more powers to the local governments.

Then Tinubu suddenly appeared from somewhere and said, “Okay, let’s do them.”

Now, whether you agree with his implementation or not, the talking points have changed completely.

If na you nko, you go like the man?

Nigerians will lament about a problem and still lament about the solution 😂😂😂

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

Subsidy Removal, you are against it.

Students Loan, you attack it.

Coastal Road, you talk down on it.

Tax Reform, you say it’s anti-poor.

Local Government autonomy, you say it’s a scam.

State Police, you still don’t support it.

What exactly do you want?

There is no developed country in the world that defines its policies or progress by the realities of the common man or regular guy. Economies are not built on the realities of the common man.

Go and look at history.

- Hyperaccelerated development of Dubai
- The pragmatic exchange in Singapore
- The industrial and Neo Liberal era in US
- The post WWII era in Japan
- Park Chung Hee era in South Korea
- The Stanilist Era in USSR
- The industrial revolution era in Britian
- Post WWII West Germany
- Post-WWII France and the ENA technocrats.

There is always a disconnect or a lag period. If Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum had formulated his 1970s policies based on the immediate, everyday needs of a common Dubai fisherman or pearl diver, the city would likely still be a minor, localized fishing village.

There is always the conflict between immediate survival and long-term vision. The local fishermen in Dubai were asking for cheaper fuel, better fish markets, and local housing around the fish industries.

Instead of investing oil revenues directly into keeping traditional fishermen comfortable, he took massive financial gambles borrowing heavily to build infrastructure before the wealth even arrived.

Should we ignore the plight of the common man? No. We have to continue to build systems around them. The common man in Britain wasn't comfortable when the London underground tube was built.

As Asiwaju said, the hallmark of a good leader is the ability to make critical decisions when necessary.

You worry more about Governors abusing state police during elections that happen once every four years. You do not worry about whether the state of insecurity under centralised policing can be such that elections are not even held in some places in the first place.

You do not worry about school children being kidnapped every day in hundreds or kidnappers collecting ransoms through bank accounts that have BVN for which you must have an NIN, and proudly posting videos on social media.

You worry about how the states would fund state police. You do not worry that the Federal Government consumes 52% of all resources, and wastes it on frivolous spending and on irrelevant and ineffective agencies, while 36 states and 774 LGAs only get 48%.

You are not Ezemmuo. You don’t know things.

I have always wondered why many Nigerians worry more about elections than even their own personal safety and those of their families.

The interviewer was shocked, he had to ask the follow-up question. PBAT smooth...

Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.

Ronaldo’s worst mistake in his footballing career is moving to Juventus instead of psg

His second biggest mistake is going back to Manchester United instead of man city.

I find this niche of condescension disguised as concern for Nigerians living in Nigeria very amusing. It's easy to see nobody is asking folks -home & abroad-who haven't eaten to invest but it's hard to pass up the chance to say Nigerians haven't eaten so outrage is manufactured
