Every call Carrick made today paid off. Even the the tricky ones. The starting 11, the subs, timing of the subs. Great start.

I am afraid that I vehemently disagree with you. In the history of law making and policy development in Nigeria, I have never seen the level of public engagement and open communication as I have seen on these tax laws. If you know of a better example, please educate me.

Also, if you say that it has been poor, please tell me what should have been done that wasn’t done.

You may disagree with the law and policy, which is fine. You can also say that the lawmaking process should improved to ensure proper version control. That would also be fine. But to say that communication and public engagement has been poor is shocking to me.

My Personality of 2025: Taiwo Oyedele

In 2023, while writing Economics with Uncle Tunde, I was deciding who to ask for book reviews. I needed people who truly understood fiscal and monetary policy.

Taiwo came to mind. Former boss. Tax expert. Author. Already leading the Fiscal Policy Reform Committee at the time.

I hesitated because of how busy he was, but I sent the manuscript anyway. By the next day, he had responded. Not just with a review, but with detailed corrections and suggestions to make the book better. He was the first to respond.

That reminded me that excellence is never accidental.

The same traits show up clearly in his work on tax reform today. Calm. Patient. Thorough. Focused on education over noise. Despite provocation, he remains measured and objective.

I cannot recall a policy reform in Nigeria that came with this level of public explanation and engagement. That did not happen by chance.

Nigeria last attempted to consolidate laws at this scale with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), and that took nearly 20 years. This effort has taken about three.

Reforms of this scale are never painless, but history will judge this effort more kindly than the present noise suggests.

For his professionalism, discipline, and quiet excellence under pressure, Taiwo Oyedele is my Personality of 2025.

Whatever investigations Paystack carry out, they must do so strictly within the ambits of the law, and not some social media pandering position.

If everything stays as they are, Ezra Olubi should be allowed to return to work. As of this moment, he hasn’t broken any law.

This position may not be popular in some quarters but the law doesn’t recognise some quarters, it is blind to feelings and opinions.

Those tweets were distasteful, perverted, bestial-esque add other words. But shocking as it reads, he hasn’t broken any laws as of this moment. If anyone is at risk of jail right now, it is those doxxing other people.

Dude settled on a style of play that works for no one.

[The United Stand @UnitedStandMUFC]

Amorim: "I watched a lot of Premier League games [while I was] in Portugal, and you could feel that United was really [about] transitions. Kobbie was the only guy that calmed down the game.

"Now, we have other players that calm down the game. We play different. And [so] sometimes I expect more from Kobbie Mainoo. I know he can give that. He is really good at controlling the game, but if he plays as a no.8, he has to reach the box [and be] returning [back to midfield]. Sometimes he has to cover a lot of space." #mufc

[Evelyn Masi @EvelynMasi_]

2 things are going to cost Amorim his job at this rate:

- The GK situation.
- The insistence on 3-4-3.

One of those he can change tonight. 3-4-3 needs binning off immediately. It doesn't work.

Huge praise for coach Rena Wakama ... it takes a Tigress to lead a pack of fearless "D'Tigress" to an Afrobasket title.

Wakama became the first woman to win an Afrobasket title, and now she has won it twice in a row!!

Take a bow coach Rena 👏👏

More than anything, what I hope to convey is my understanding of how the economy and markets work to help your decision-making.

This 30 minute animated video conveys my thinking in a nutshell. It has been viewed by more than 150 million people and has gotten great reviews so I think it’s probably worth the 30 minutes if you’re interested.

Anyway, if you watch it, I’d love to know what you think.
