These are bandits sheltering around what appears to be a government-owned school. It's heartbreaking to see how insecurity has reduced communities to this.

If cameras were placed here for the world to see, the reality on the ground would speak louder than any political debate. Yet whenever people raise these concerns, some are quick to dismiss them as politics instead of acknowledging the suffering.

The picture clearly show that the community has lost so much:

• People have been displaced from their homes.
• Children have been denied the education they deserve.
• Families have been pushed deeper into poverty.

These are not just statistics, they are people's lives.

May almighty Allah bring peace to Nigeria, protect innocent civilians and grant relief to everyone affected

[Cyrus Ademola @CyrusAdemola]

This is one reason why Nigeria's public policies are always flawed.

With no disrespect to Dr. Joe himself, but policies shouldn't be based on individual ideas or what a group of elites considered progressive or "the brightest way of doing things".

It should be based on collected data, survey, democratic inputs and feedback from the populace. People sitting in an air conditioner filled room can't just assume what is best for the mass population in the country.

It's a monopolisation of abstract and pedestrian knowledge that no single human being or a group of politically privileged human beings can know.

On NYSC reforms, what's the data that show that the current system isn't working? And if any, where's the data that indicate that the new system will solve the identified problem? What research was carried? Where's the democratic input from the people who are currently in the system (the corp members)? Where's the feedback mechanism that made this new approach justifiable?

Without any of this, we just propose ideas that sound and look good on paper only for it to become adversely inapplicable to those who the ideas directly affected.

The same way I asked Mr. Oyedele then what data was driving his tax reform bill, and the proposed increment in VAT and CGT in the bill, only to have the host and the co-host kick me out of the space.

Our intellectual and political elites must be humble enough to know that not all ideas in their head are made of gold.

Else, we continue to fix what necessarily isn't broken.

They never ask why the migrants are coming.

Or rather, they ask it, and then they answer it wrong.

They come because of corruption in their home countries. Because of cultural dysfunction. Because of tribalism, poor governance, a failure to develop the institutions that produce stable societies.

They do not come because Britain ran Nigeria for sixty years, reorganized the economy around extraction, and built railways and ports primarily to move commodities outward.

They do not come because France still pegs the currency of fourteen African nations to its own, with a veto over monetary policy and a transition away from the system that keeps getting delayed, year after year.

They do not come because the IMF's structural adjustment programs in the 1980s and 1990s dismantled the public sectors of twenty countries in a single decade.

They do not come because Western agricultural subsidies make it impossible for Sahel farmers to compete in their own markets.

They come because of corruption.

Which is true, sometimes. The corruption is also real.

What they don't teach is who trained the corrupt officials, who banks their money, who sells them the weapons, who guarantees the loans that require the policies that produce the conditions that generate the corruption.

Those are Western cities on that list.

Those are Western banks.

But the migrants arrive without that context, carrying only their bodies and their desperation.

And the question gets asked again.

Why are they coming?

Regional development commissions that should be helping our sub-nationals to reduce out of school children, empower small businesses, reduce the infrastructure deficit etc. are busy sharing mats with their names emblazoned on it. This type of mentality really demoralises someone.

Dear @DrJoeAbah I’m pleased to know that you were part of the NYSC reform team, and I do not doubt your competence to be on that team. However I am surprised that with your reach here, a lot of us do not even know that this reform was going on, even when data was collected from stakeholders. Is it that our inputs are not worth considering or we are not the target audience?

[Yusuf Dauran @usouph]

Look, the military drills are what makes NYSC interesting, and brings that togetherness from every part of the country.
The skills and whatnot? They are still being taught in NYSC camps and even beyond, only those interested join them.
Extending camp stay beyond 3 weeks doesn’t sound reasonable. To do what?
Lastly, taking the scheme away from the military will cripple its participation significantly, bring in more chances for corrupt practices, and let’s be honest, digitalizing it wont stop the favoritism as for postings that have been happening.
Reform was needed, but not one that takes it entirely away from the military and handed over to civil servants.

We're celebrating paper metrics, while the real economy continues to drown

Farmland continues to be abandoned due to (& contributing to worse) insecurity, when it's almost impossible to profit from food production

Those who can't farm to survive will kidnap or grow cannabis

The repair was deliberated upon and it was the assurances of kachikwu that it will work that led to the funding, meanwhile if Buhari believed the repairs will work,why did he go ahead to support Dangote?

Your hatred for anything Buhari is your problem.

Literally this Western leftist:

Printing money to finance food production was more intelligent than spending forex to buy food, while borrowing to refinance old debts

Agriculture could've provide an engine for economic growth, while forex went towards infrastructure & debt repayment

Instead we're buying food

I'm of the believe it was all deliberately orchestrated.... Chunk out the policies and make sure the implementation is botched so we only focus on "performative policies" and ignore perverse incentive outcomes of the same policies.. you won't believe same LGA autonomy being

The fundamental error made by the Tinubu administration was undermining domestic food security off the bat (pun intended) from the beginning of its tenure

Any economic, fiscal and monetary strategy that doesn't prioritize food security is dead on arrival

Hence its demise
