You know the thing about the death of a loved one is you never ever heal from it. Sometimes on a random day the grief can just hit you, sometimes in mid conversation
One of the most terrifying things about life is how an entire lifetime of careful choices can be undone in seconds by someone else’s stupidity like some idiot streamer doing 200km/h for absolutely no reason.
I appreciate the need to do this - Africa needs good stories and Dangote looks like one. But I cannot stress this enough - Dangote is *anti-development*
If I time travelled back to 19th century America and swapped Dangote for George Bartholomew, the US will be a different country today and not for the better.
Once you take him objectively and look at what he’s actually done (not what he says) and the actual effects of those things, you would not wish him on a poor developing country.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the worst president in Nigeria's history. The absolute worst.
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE ARE OUR GREATEST ASSET
I reject the idea that Nigeria’s young population represents a burden. It represents an enormous opportunity, but only if we prepare young Nigerians to participate productively in the economy.
We will improve basic education, strengthen universities, and expand technical and vocational training. Nigeria needs doctors, engineers, scientists, and lawyers, as well as technicians, mechanics, builders, nurses, farmers, programmers, manufacturers, artisans, and entrepreneurs. Our goal is to secure a high demographic dividend from our youth bulge.
HEALTH IS HUMAN CAPITAL
A productive economy requires a healthy population, yet Nigeria’s health indicators remain deeply concerning. According to available data, Nigeria’s primary healthcare system is very poor, with infant and maternal mortality among the worst globally. We will strengthen healthcare, improve maternal and child health, expand access to essential medicines, and equip healthcare workers to serve effectively.
EVERY REGION MUST BECOME PRODUCTIVE AND PROSPER
Nigeria’s diversity is an economic strength. Each region has distinct assets, and national policy must unlock those assets while connecting them to one productive economy.
The North-West can expand agriculture, livestock, irrigation, agro-processing, and manufacturing while strengthening education and security.
The North-East can speed up reconstruction, restore livelihoods, and expand agriculture, education, enterprise, and regional trade.
The North-Central can strengthen food production and processing while developing its mineral resources responsibly.
The South-West can build on its strengths in manufacturing, technology, finance, trade, and the creative economy.
The South-East can expand its entrepreneurial and industrial strength through better infrastructure, stronger connectivity, and greater access to investment.
The South-South can derive greater value from oil and gas while expanding maritime services, fisheries, agriculture, and other productive sectors, supported by stronger environmental protection.
The Federal Capital Territory must demonstrate what efficient urban planning, transportation, housing, sanitation, security, and public services can achieve.
Every region must produce. Every region must contribute. Every region must benefit.
A DIFFERENT STANDARD OF GOVERNANCE
Sustainable development requires more than reactive reform. Reform is not the goal; better lives are. The World Bank’s April 2026 Nigeria Development Update makes clear that Nigeria’s challenge is to turn economic reform and stabilisation into improved livelihoods, stronger human capital, wider opportunities, and inclusive growth. We will pursue practical reforms that deliver lasting results, combining fiscal discipline with productive investment, as Senator Kwankwaso and I have demonstrated.
We will cut wasteful spending while protecting investments that create jobs and expand productive capacity. We will raise public revenue without stifling businesses and invest in education, healthcare, security, and infrastructure because they are foundations for future prosperity, not costs to defer. We will also build institutions that endure beyond any single administration. That is the standard by which every government should be judged.
@channelstv What a people! What a society!
If a Governor wins an election in New York or Colorado, will he thank Donald Trump for a free and fair election? For letting him win?
A broken society!
A broken people!
While you are giving birth to 2 kids and giving them the best education and future, this nigga will be giving birth to 40 kids that he’s not going to take care of or send to school. Those children are far more likely to grow up without opportunity, drift into crime or worse, and ultimately pose a risk to the safety and future of the two children you worked so hard to raise.
This is exactly what Bill Gates meant when he said Africa’s explosive population growth can be slowed with improved healthcare & reproductive services so parents have fewer kids that they can properly take care of.
Graduates interpreted that statement as “he wants us dead”😂
Could he please just go back to being a hard-drinking, smoking, womanising, non-vulnerable, woke-devoid, politically-incorrect, ruthless assassin of the bad guys….
