My wife bought a brand new iPhone at the Apple store located at Jakande, Lekki Phase 1,Lagos last September.
We decided to trade it in for a new one today at the Apple Store located at Westfield Stratford City Arcade (London) a few minutes ago
Only God did not let them call the police on us
The attendant scanned the IPhone and declared that it had been reported as stolen.
Stolen from where?
It was not a used iPhone
It was new, purchased from an approved Apple Store and we have all the receipts intact
The attendant saw our indignation and went ahead to consult with her superiors
They scanned again and they declared that it was reported “missing”.
They adjusted their language from stolen to missing and told us it has zero swap value.
I was not shocked at all even though I should be.

Nigerians like cutting corners for unhealthy gains and they always believe this is good business for them as long as they were able to make a buck.
Somehow we were able to walk out of that Apple Store without any drama but I remember telling my wife that we would have had a lot of explaining to do if they had a policy that required that they must report such incidents to the police.
Nigerian business people must try to do better than this
There is something called integrity, it has a higher value than the dirty gains they think they are getting by playing dirty.
I have always insisted on buying things in Nigeria because it helps the economy but I can see the reason many prefer to shop abroad.
We must do better than this as a people.

Yesterday, Senator Kawu Sumaila (may Allah reward him for this sacrifice) revealed to BBC Hausa that each senator receives a staggering sum of N21m every month for the running of their offices. This amount, which is in addition to their legally stipulated salary, is allocated to each senator for domestic travel, newspaper purchases, and other minor expenses.

This sum is paid to the 99 senators who do not hold major positions in the legislature. If you do the math, you’ll find that the total running costs for these senators exceed N2b every single month. As for the 10 senators who are principal officers, even their colleagues are kept in the dark about how much they take each month. I am certain that their take-home far surpasses that of the other senators. Furthermore, no one knows how much is paid to committee chairpersons and their deputies for committee operations.

This legalised theft is occurring in a country that has the highest number of people suffering from extreme poverty in the world. Over 100 million Nigerians are grappling with multidimensional poverty, earning us the unfortunate title of the world’s poverty capital. This situation has worsened since President Tinubu removed fuel and dollar subsidies and implemented other anti-masses policies. Now, most Nigerians cannot afford to eat enough nutritious meal twice a day.

Yet, amid this dire situation of hunger, poverty and insecurity, non-ranking senators are being paid over N2b every month. Where is the conscience in this? If ordinary senators are taking N21m each month, how much are those in leadership positions allocating to themselves? How much are ministers receiving? How much are governors and commissioners accumulating in salaries, allowances and running costs?

Nigerians have the right to know all these details. But because our unscrupulous leaders know that what they are doing is wrong, they conceal the amounts they take, claiming these are their entitlements. If there is no dishonesty involved, what is there to hide? And if they are hiding the amounts they claim are their 'lawful entitlements' because of how large they are, how much are they actually stealing?

Nigeria is not a poor country. God has blessed us with abundant wealth, and it should not be the case that Nigerians struggle even to afford food. But heartless politicians have stolen our resources through various means, leaving us with hunger and insecurity. We cannot sit idly by and watch these people complete destroying our country. Indeed, the youth and patriots must rise and force these old rats into compulsory retirement by 2027.

The time has come for us to stand firm and rescue our people from these wolves. If we are sincere in our intentions and make a concerted effort, God will support us.

Regional government?

Even if worst comes to worst, Northern Nigeria will not be in a dire situation as we think. Although the North has neither port nor oil (at the moment), being a landlocked country deoesn’t spell doom for the region. Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg are landlocked countries and their economies score higher than the world and regional averages.

With good leaders, the North can harness its agricultural potentials, leverage on its population size, standardize its international markets and tap its mineral wealth to grow rapidly. Northern Nigeria has over 37 million hectares of arable land, but Thailand – with 17 million hectares – records nearly 3 times the entire Nigerian rice production.

Dear students, start changing your mindset now!

Success isn't about landing a job after graduation. It goes beyond that.

The real achievement is creating your own path, becoming self-reliant, and even employing others.

Think beyond job offers – aim for a career where you're in charge. Focus on building a foundation for self-reliance and entrepreneurship.

@yakubwudil On point.

We also need to train the youth and let them know that they can make it without school if they can learn the skills and develop them sincerely with all devotion.
It's difficult in our society but not impossible.
