Thank you Kano! We head back to Abuja to continue the work. Travelling at irregular hours, abnormal route where normal flights do not exist, and dangerous weather is part of the price we pay to reach every community, through air, land and water. Keep us in prayers daily. On the way to Kano two days ago, we hit a major storm and jumped from our seat, hitting our head on the ceiling. Some turbulences are bad and this was one but God preserved us. Let’s intensify the effort! God bless Nigeria

The only governor standing up to Tinubu is an Ibadan man.

Remember that the next time you people start talking about who has/lacks backbone. Which people are sycophants and which people aren't.

this is insane. i genuinely don't understand why ambitious people aren't shown this lecture before their careers start consuming their entire lives.

clayton christensen spent his career studying why successful companies collapse. in his final class, he asked students to apply the theory to themselves: if you keep allocating your time the same way, what life are you actually building?

he had already seen the answer in his own harvard mba class. everyone looked successful at the fifth reunion; by the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th, many were unhappy, divorced, and living far from their children.

work shows you the score immediately. close a sale, ship a product, finish a presentation, earn a promotion, get paid.

an hour with your child may produce nothing you can measure today; it may take 20 years to understand what that hour built. so the next free hour goes back to work, one rational decision at a time.

this is how people build lives they never planned: through hundreds of right decisions that lead in the wrong direction, day after day.

money, titles, and headcount are easy to count. christensen believed a life should be measured by the people who became better because you were there.

he died in 2020.

one question remains: if someone saw only where your time, energy, and attention went this year, what would they think actually mattered to you?

Our CFO noticed we spend $65K a month on a proprietary cybersecurity platform called Sentinel Protocol.

She scheduled a meeting with me to discuss our enterprise software expenditures.

She wanted to know why our licensing fees had increased by 15% year over year.

I told her Sentinel Protocol is the only thing standing between our corporate data and a highly coordinated North Korean ransomware syndicate.

I explained that it uses a polymorphic encryption manifold to dynamically scrub our inbound packets.

She asked if she could get a Zoom meeting with their customer success team to discuss a volume discount.

I told her I'd set it up immediately.

The problem is that Sentinel Protocol doesn't exist.

It's an LLC I registered in Delaware 4 years ago.

I'm Sentinel Protocol.

My entire cybersecurity platform is just a batch script I wrote in 2018 that restarts our routers every Sunday at 3 AM.

The script took me 14 minutes to write.

I realized very early in my career that executives will never question a line item if you use the word quantum or heuristic.

But now the CFO wanted to speak to the vendor.

I went on Fiverr and hired a struggling voice actor from Chicago for $45.

I told him his character was a high-powered Silicon Valley tech bro who just drank 3 Celsius energy drinks.

I wrote him a 4-page script composed entirely of weaponized IT buzzwords.

He showed up to the Zoom call wearing a Patagonia fleece vest and introduced himself as the VP of Customer Success.

He was absolutely phenomenal.

When the CFO asked about lowering the cost, he scoffed.

He told her that downgrading our service tier would expose our legacy endpoints to asynchronous tunneling attacks.

He leaned into the webcam and asked if she was prepared to explain a catastrophic data breach to the shareholders.

She apologized for questioning the infrastructure.

Before the call ended, my Fiverr actor successfully up-sold her on a $12K biometric redundancy package.

I don't even know what a biometric redundancy package is.

I tipped the actor $100 and told him I'd need him again next quarter.

The CFO sent me an email thanking me for managing such a crucial vendor relationship.

I just used the new budget increase to buy a pontoon boat.

None have clearly improved since 2022 per World Bank, NBS, IMF, UNICEF data:

- Poverty: Worsened (41.8% at $3/day in 2022 to 52%+ projected 2025).
- Employment: Official rate fell (methodology shift 2023), but underemployment/youth joblessness high.
- GDP per capita: Dropped sharply (~$2,139 USD in 2022 to ~$1,084 in 2024).
- Out-of-school children: No gain (10-18M then vs 18-28M reports now).
- Industrialization: Sluggish (manufacturing output -14% in 2023; low growth since).
- Power: Capacity up slightly but 60% plants idle; supply unreliable.
- Security: Banditry/kidnappings persistent (thousands affected yearly).
- Purchasing power: Eroded (cumulative inflation 30%+ peak, naira devaluation).

Recent macro stabilization (inflation ~15%, GDP growth 3-4%) noted, but most metrics lag 2022 levels.

Who Abolished Slavery?

You think there is no correlation between how we Africans have been engineered to look down on ourselves and to genuflect before those who oppressed us?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Who abolished slavery? Ask any fourth grader in Togo, and the answer comes without hesitation: Victor Schoelcher. Wake me from a deep sleep with that question, and my subconscious will answer before my eyes are open: Victor Schoelcher. Twenty-five years after leaving primary school, the colonial curriculum still lives in me like a reflex.

That is what was planted, and that is how thoroughly it took root. It is only the adult brain, the one lucky enough to stumble upon other literatures, other histories, other archives, that comes afterward to contest the first answer. But the first answer is always his name.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

That is what colonial schools taught. That is what post-colonial schools taught. That is what is still being taught today, by people placed in power precisely to ensure that the curriculum of self-erasure continues undisturbed.

Because in Francophone Africa, the abolition of slavery has one face, and it is this French man. And in twenty years of academic formation on this continent, from primary school through university, including my own years as a history major at the University of Lome, not once, not in a single classroom, not in a single textbook, was the Haitian Revolution mentioned.

Not once were we told that enslaved Black people organized, fought, and defeated the French army, that Haïti became the first Black nation in colonial Americas and the first nation in modern history to defeat a European power that practiced slavery through the resistance of the very people it had enslaved. Twenty years of “schooling”: not one mention of that historical fact. And this is just one example, on just one subject.

Because not once throughout my entire education in Togo was I introduced to a Black mathematician, a Black physicist, a Black inventor, a Black philosopher. Not once. But for those of us who were cursed with France, the French apparently discovered more than 70% of world knowledge and wrote more than 80% of the world’s books, because our curriculum was designed to make us believe that the smartest, most resourceful, most intellectually gifted humans to have ever walked the surface of this earth were French. When the data actually tells you that France contributes approximately 2% of the world’s scientific innovation. Two percent. And we were built, from childhood, to worship that two percent as the totality of human genius. I imagine the same arithmetic applied to British, or Portuguese colonies, just with a different flag. This just one subject. There are decades of damage underneath it, layered and compounding.

Which is why it is genuinely exhausting to wake up every single day and be expected to debate, with patience and good faith, people who were produced by these laboratories of engineered ignorance and who are entirely convinced that what was done to their minds was an education.

Here is the thing: the reason Daniel is not ashamed to share this train wreck of an interview is that he knows that Nigeria does not reward ethics. It does not reward shame. Nigeria is where shame goes to die. Nigeria does not reward morality. The only crime in Nigeria is poverty. And so he works for his supper the only way he knows how. This interview will do nothing to dent his already battered image. Just like Tolu Ogunlesi. Who insulted you over seedless grapes. Just like Reuben Abati during Jonathan. This too shall pass and Nigerians will forget and he will one day win elections in his local government and become a Federal Representative or Senator. Or become a well paid commentator. Daniel as odious as he is, is only a mirror of what Nigeria allows. He will be fine. His children will be fine. And he will never lack friends in and outside government.
