My first article in a while, and the story is simple:

Who is the captain of Nigeria’s economy?

I explain why we shouldn’t leave the role to Emefiele and Buhari. Somebody wake our finance minister up because Nigeria is sinking.

Anonymous Question:

“How late is too late to quit a PhD?”

[Richard Montgomery @RMontgomeryUK]

The revival of @cenbank credibility & good monetary policy by HE Governor Cardoso & his top team has been impressive to witness since 2023. Delighted to support CBN & @bankofengland peer relationship. Excellent mutual exchange & learning. Important for investor & trade confidence

@VirginAtlantic Thanks for the automated response but please can you show me one individual that has successfully used your webchat in the last few months? It doesn’t work.

[Tokunbo Afikuyomi, PhD @Teejay_A]

@VirginAtlantic Why did you guys get rid of your online chat and WhatsApp chat options? This is my progress with getting through to you guys. All attempts didn’t lead to anyone picking up.

Super proud moment for me re talent at Stears.

Paraphrased a bit but @StartArchiving recently found that according to LinkedIn data:

"4% of the people in the top 100 students [based on 2009 Nigerian WAEC results] have spent some time at KPMG, 3% at Stears, and 2% at GTBank"

@VirginAtlantic For some reason the “chat to us button” hasn’t worked for me for months now. Tried on Mac (Safari and chrome) and iOS. Each time I click, nothing happens

@IAtalkspace That’s great news! I remember when you dreamt of this years ago. Congratulations!!

[Tokunbo Afikuyomi, PhD @Teejay_A]

The data has always been misleading like that. Money can easily enter a bank HQ in Lagos and flow to any state. NBS data won’t capture that.

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

NBS data showed 34 states in 🇳🇬 could not attract foreign capital in the first quarter, Lagos, Ekiti and the FCT were the only ones that did. There is obviously a big 🔥 on the mountain
