Things to learn from other countries. For developing nations:
1. Invest in education then production
2. You can start doing monetary magic miracles
3. Do not be corrupt and taking money from productive use into ridiculous foreign luxuries
4. Govt must buy and support local production!!!

What are you thinking?
You should be trying to woo more diaspora medical practitioners, not hiking fees. Get them in first, even with subsidies, and thereafter look for other ways to boost your collections. @nationalnma@DeleFarotimi@aproko_doctor@crazeclown@NigeriaNDCHQ, ADC, APC.
How do we plead with Nigerian public servants? This is greater than any material possession one can own.
To be part of the history of those who liberated the entire Black race (no $200,000 wristwatch, no holiday in a private island, no mud bath or whatever else you desire) will ever replace the goodness that will enter your soul, or the way your name and that of your generation will be written in the sand of history.
Wake up and see, @officialABAT@CCSoludo@_PastorUmoEno@GovernorAUF!
Please wake up, all Governors, LG Chairmen, and civil servants, and write your names in history!
The citizns will immortalise you if you do the right things!
Everybody deserves an opportunity in life. Every child deserves a chance to become something in life.
See how much massive difference that 2 years makes in the life of a child that was previously abandoned on the street:
This is an AfDB-financed project, specifically Phase 3. Phase 1 was funded by the World Bank; Phase 2, I believe, by both the World Bank and AfDB.
If anything, we should be glad it was not botched. But this has very little to do with Mr President. In fact, the project became more expensive after 2023 due to the devaluation of the naira.
Finally, we are citizens and Mr President is a public servant, not a monarch. Commendation should be given in that light.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@BossCommodore@Chude@ugodre I do not think they are bloody idiots @BossCommodore, they are both intelligent people who if we are being charitable will say made either poor decisions in 2014.
That will qualify them as fallible humans
@KayodeOkikiolu, I enjoyed the chat. Chude, as always, offered brilliant and interesting perspectives.
I find his growing tendency to loudly skirt around the grey areas of ethics and values deeply dangerous. This kind of skirting perpetuates corruption.
Nigeria is not the only poor country. Journalists and citizens should stop making excuses for poor values and ethics by blurring these lines.
I wonder how much of his work for the APC, and the maladministration of that government, has shaped this habit of seeing grey areas in every ethical and value question that ought to underpin a robust society.
Our problem is not the number of PhD holders who hold this view. Every community has its share of fools. The real challenge is the vast population of uneducated people who have no basis for voting beyond ethnicity or monetary inducement. We need to reduce that population drastically.
I believe we can use civic education itself as the foundation - by clearly showing people what they stand to gain from good governance and the possibilities it opens up.
@SundayDareSD Did you by chance say the same thing, when they spoke boldly during the military regime of Abacha? or rightly during Jonathan and Buhari tenure? Public servants should be told the truth, a public servant is not a king.

The Bishops have stayed consistent as far back as Abacha’s regime! Why is there such coordinated attack by supporters of the president?
Citizns, do not fight institutions standing for your interest. If you do, when you need someone to stand with you eventually, you will find no one!
It has been established since at least 2013 that His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, is one of “Nigeria’s strongest voices against bad governance.”
Thirteen years later, he has remained true to his principles. Just yesterday, he did exactly what many of you praised him for over the years. But because the subject of his comments is your political messiah, you now believe he has crossed the line.
@adesina_adele, this is the true meaning of hypocrisy, especially at a time when the term is being used so loosely.

The greatest threat to democracy is not just violence; it is voter apathy.
INEC will secure the process.
Political parties and civil society should mobilise citizens to participate.
Your vote is your voice.

When they did here, it was Peter Obi. When Okogie spoke against Abacha's rule and military rule in general, interestingly, alongside NADECO, shebi it was Peter Obi too?
Minions without reflective minds. Always barking.
Apparently people don't know who a Cardinal is and the amount of influence they yield.
Most of these guys have diplomatic passports, have trained at the highest level of philosophy, theology, and a major discipline. They write books, they act as local imprimatur to people who also write. I'm talking big people who write. And above all, people listen to them — Big & important people listen to them.
Korol Wojtyla (John Paul III), as a cardinal was then Polish government enemy number as he opposed a communist Poland. Poland owes whatever it is today, democratically, to him — at least to a large extent. Wait till you hear about Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the one who mentored Karol.
Jaime Sin of Philippines literarily tumbled a dictatorship by leading peaceful protests and human barricades of millions of people. His intervention was pivotal in one of the world's most successful nonviolent democratic transitions.
Same with József Mindszenty of Hungary, a fighter against Communist Hungary who was popular with the phrase — communism kills the human identity. They even tortured him, and that led to unrest and protests. There's also Thomas Wosley of England. Maybe a little research on Cardinal Sarah and how he became one of the few national figures willing to challenge Sékou Touré's authoritarian regime publicly in Guinea.
A Cardinal does not engage in partisan politics. It's beneath them. However when it comes to the need to intellectually be at the defense of human rights, youth engagement, poverty eradication, and moral empowerment, they'd never be quiet.
So all these Tinubu boys are just mere humans. Dimwits who are controlled by money — a sad way to live.
