@buildwithdudu @yemisoye_ To buttress your point, Nigerians is one of the most lawful and law abiding people in the world. That’s a fact

[Buildwithdudu @buildwithdudu]

Saying “Nigerians are lawless” is a dumb take. Nobody is fundamentally lawful. People everywhere break laws when they think they can get away with it even in civilized countries.

The difference is in the consequences. In functional societies, laws are enforced consistently and punishment is predictable and unbiased. That’s why people behave. Not because they are morally superior.

Why was a truck parked on the roadside? Because enforcement is nonexistent. Because traffic laws are optional. Because people know nothing will happen. That is not a “people problem,” it is an institutional failure.

And citizens do not build institutions they are the government’s responsibility. That is literally why government exists.

Anytime we talk about infrastructure or governance, APC data boys shout “Where will the money come from?” But strengthening institutions, enforcing the rule of law, reforming electoral processes, and upholding the constitution don’t even require new taxes it requires competence and priorities.

They won’t talk about that. Instead, they absolve their political slave masters of accountability and blame citizens for surviving in a broken system.

Nigerians are not more lawless than any other group of people . Nigeria is poorly governed.

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

I have a theory: Nigerian leaders struggle to handle complexity and anything with moving parts. We can pour concrete. It’s pretty straightforward. I guess that is why people see roads being built and say that Governance is not rocket science. If roads are what they mean by governance, they would be right: it’s not rocket science.

When it comes to complexity, multiple components, or moving parts, our leaders tend to struggle. For instance, electricity involves generation, transmission, distribution, metering, billing and tariff management. Complexity. We don’t handle it well.

That is why, when a new governor succeeds one who has already poured concrete, they seem clueless about what to do next. Facilitating the economic activity that will make use of the roads and buildings is harder than pouring the concrete to build them. It requires brain power. Complexity hurts the brain. We don’t like it.

In countries like France, most politicians would be expected to have attended one of the governance schools if they want to seek high public office. In the UK, you would probably have studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford or Cambridge. In the USA, it would be usual for you to have attended an Ivy League university. Same as Japan and Singapore. In all these places, you would be exposed to complexity, innovation and problem-solving.

In Nigeria, all you need is to have completed a course of secondary education. Did you know that you actually don’t have to have a WAEC certificate? You just need to have finished secondary education, you don’t need to have passed WAEC or even NECO. Is it surprising the quality of leaders that we have?

It is not about having a PhD. Most Nigerian governors with PhDs have been thoroughly disappointing. It is more about being equipped with the skills and intellectual rigour to handle the complexity of governing others and making the best decisions on their behalf.

I would suggest that we upgrade the Public Service Institute of Nigeria and the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria into proper governance schools. We should then make
it mandatory that all politicians who want to occupy elective executive positions (like LGA Chairman, Speaker, Senate President, Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President or President) must attend and graduate from those institutions before they can even seek any elective public office at all.

Do you agree with my theory? If not, do you have a counter theory? If you agree, do you think that this would make any difference? If you think that it won’t make any difference, what do you think would? #NaijaKnowledgeX

Coup and Consequence: Diya, Abacha, Babangida, and the Cost of Speaking Out

Dr. Oluranti Afowowe, author of Destiny Anchored on Faith: The Story of Oladipo Diya, revisits one of the most explosive chapters in Nigeria’s military history, the failed Orkar Coup of 1990. In this conversation, he sheds light on the near-assassination of General Ibrahim Babangida, who escaped death by the whiskers when rebel soldiers stormed Dodan Barracks.

At the heart of the coup was deep ethnic resentment. The plotters accused the Nigerian state of perpetuating Hausa-Fulani domination and vowed to excise the northern region from the country if they succeeded. The coup failed, but its message lingered.

In the tense aftermath, Major General Oladipo Diya, then a senior military officer and member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council, did something few dared to do: he urged his colleagues to reflect on the grievances behind the rebellion. But his honesty came at a huge price.

@otunbagokepaj 😆😆😆😆Let’s deal with the coalition one by one first, We will come back to you.

[NaijaFarmer @Nig_Farmer]

Retired military men shouldn’t be the only ones with the privilege to be sole administrators when a state of emergency is declared.

What’s wrong with appointing a young farmer in that capacity?
