BREAKING: The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the final forfeiture of 48 out of 57 properties worth N212 billion linked to the former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami.

Judge Joyce Abdulmalik granted the final forfeiture application filed by the EFCC and dismissed several objections filed by Mr Malami, his family members, and some companies claiming ownership of the properties, saying they all lacked merit.

She held that the issue before the court was not “who owns the property, but how legitimate are the funds used to acquire the properties.”

The properties to be forfeited span Abuja, Kebbi, Kano, and Kaduna states and include luxury hotels, duplexes, plazas, warehouses, shopping units and residential estates acquired over several years.

When you think you have seen it all in this country….. Nothing, absolutely nothing surprises me anymore in this God forsaken country!

[Karounwi Adini @KarounwiAdini]

What scares and saddens me about Remi Tinubu's "Kuli-Kulikuli and Akara" talk is not just how out-of-touch several of our leaders are.

But, how pernicious the role of aides and hangers-on around them to distract from true situation of things can be.

There is poverty in Nigeria. Endemic poverty, and it spans every single region.

Yet, what will raise millions out of poverty instantly isn't this 50k grants for kulikuli. It is serious "back-crouched, hands-on-plough" laser focus on amenities.

Affordable and reliable Electricity alone will drive millions out of poverty, without having to spend these ridiculous amounts to petty traders on kulikuli.

It is interesting that every single thing Remi mentioned was one that avoided electricity. Frying grounded beans using firewood, or moulding groundnuts into kulikuli to sell.

This analogy is important because by targeting that, we fail to see where the problem really lies.

Olusegun Obasanjo was terrible at many things. But what his government understood was the imperative of a middle class.

In 2001, after Obasanjo reformed telecoms sector, the Nigerian economy grew instantly by 15% in a single year. We know many back then who had no jobs, but started getting to eat by setting up Econet and MTN stalls as they got pulled into the value-chain.

Growth in banking, telecoms, Oil&Gas and other sectors helped build many.

Teachers, civil servants, lawyers were growing into a middle-class that grew sectors like construction after collecting "Gbemu Aremu".

Buhari's policies threw teachers back into poverty.

Tinubu's policies have thrown civil servants, lawyers, academia, and several earlier middle-class into drudgery of poverty of the Abacha era.

That contraction of the Nigerian economy is why we are where we are now.

How many people have the disposable income now to be able to buy Akara consistently.

I have seen comments about engineers, doctors being trained from proceeds of Akara. But I feel people are underestimating the effect of subsidy over years.

Decades of free education, and prolonged healthcare spending by Awolowo and co, created a situation where indigent families could depend on subsidies. At least till the 90's.

Boda Gbenga whose mother hawked moin-moin went to Public schools.

Boda Fatai whose mother sold Ogi went to schools like St.Leo's.

And for someone like me, who knew the likes of Ojurayo, Abbas, Olaleye, Sofela, Abati, Manoj and co. Great teachers spread across public schools in Ogun State (for example). Public schools wasn't something to be ashamed about.

Public housing Spending also meant Rent market was not exorbitant.

From 2007-2014, Spaghetti for example was between 70-100 Naira. There were Indomie packs for 35naira.

Government handoff from these sectors has thrown millions into poverty.

Rising inflation over the last decade without attendant incomes matching it, whilst public sectors have not improved, means these "nostalgic" Akara or Kuli-kuli analogies wouldn't lift people out of poverty.

Remi Tinubu's husband insists on Sokoto-Badagry or Lagos-Calabar, gives the contracts to the Lebanese in billions of dollars and then she gives advice to Nigerians to sell kuli-kuli, after collecting 50k grants.

Remi Tinubu's husband providing electricity where rural dwellers can sleep with fans, is much more impactful than budgeting billions for mosquito nets.

Remi Tinubu's husband providing electricity for rural dwellers for example raises their ability to preserve food, solve wastages and prevent exploitation by cruel middlemen than budgeting billions for "Better-life" bowls or 50k grants she wants to gift them.
