I'll counter this narrative anywhere. Do you people know half the things Obi has had to deal with for the last four years? You think it's everything that enters the public eye. And even in the public domain, a sitting governor threatened Obi and his convoy was attacked.

That Obi is still in the conversion with the evil that APC is capable of is all the evidence you need of a gritty and persistent leader that Nigeria needs. One who will stare down the evil cabals holding us back while sticking to his principles.

Obi has done his part by getting on the ballot. It is up to us the people who want a better Nigeria to put him in Aso rock.

Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson @iamHSDickson
While I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened.  (I played field politics, I never waited for anyone to give me ticket), I would like you as the National leader to watch this video again!

This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your Presidential Candidate. Your first one on one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself.

With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively!!!! The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself.

As a leader of a Political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants many of whom are rightfully aggrieved and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer!

No one can take away your leadership of NDC, no one is interested in that! The focus is on Nigeria is winning the 2027 election!
It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better.

There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego!

Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!

[The Pragmatic Engineer @Pragmatic_Eng]

What it’s like to receive a job offer directly from Satya Nadella. @kelseyhightower, former Google Distinguished Engineer, on the Microsoft offer that revealed a pay tier he didn't know existed:

“I got this email from Satya, the CEO of Microsoft.

He wrote this nice email: 'Kelsey, heard you had a good experience with the team' - remember I did the interview at the Microsoft headquarters - “heard really good things from the team, just wanted to let you know, you're going to be respected here. We're going to support you as a team.”

I'm like, damn, support as a team? Coming from the CEO?

So, number one, what an honor. This is the CEO of Microsoft. He has so many more important things to be doing than to be emailing me about a role. I opened the PDF - not very often in your career does a zero get added to the equation. And so you're looking at this like, I didn't even know that they do that.

We know that it happens. But the person that graduated from high school in 1999, that chose the A+ Certification didn't know that was available. Even while I was at Google having all the success. Google paid me pretty well too, but I didn't know you can add another zero still.

And I'm like, wow. I showed my wife and she was the one that said you should just go interview, like put your ego to the side and let's go see what's out there, so shout out to my wife.

And so I get the PDF, and I'm like, okay, this number is perfect. Honestly, I don't know what to say, but let’s just find out, is this really the only number? So I remember giving a counter: you know what, I think it should be this.

The funny thing is, Microsoft countered back higher, like we're not playing around. I'm like, oh, whoa. Now I understand that I don't understand this part of the game.”

[JAZZ🚀 @jegedekayode__]

I hate the negative PR against Nigeria and it’s really disturbing. At this point , we really need to start fighting back. This scam didn’t start or originate from Nigeria.

In 2014/2015, Uber entered the Chinese market and got locked in an incredibly aggressive, multi-billion-dollar turf war with the local ride-hailing giant, Didi Chuxing.

To win over drivers, Uber was burning through massive amounts of cash, often paying drivers 2X -3X the actual fare of a ride in performance bonuses.

This extreme distortion of market value created a massive loophole, and Chinese drivers were the first to systematically exploit it using the exact methods later seen globally.

Because Uber used the exact same playbook to enter almost every new country, they had the same issue.

Nigeria simply became a prominent case study because obviously we can’t shut up out mouth.

@Trevornoah get your story right!

[. @chief_odu]

[. @chief_odu]

That's not true. Uber cut driver incentives around the world, not just in Nigeria. The company moved away from heavy spending on bonuses as it focused on making the business profitable. Blaming Nigeria for a global strategy change is a dishonest narrative

Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans

Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.

They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.

So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.
