I read a story a long time ago
A journalist was interviewing this Wall Street guy who made like $200m the year before
The journalist asks, “Why are you still working? If I were worth $200m, I would not work.”
Wall Street guy says, “That's why you won't earn $200m.”
Cold or real?

This idea of NNPC celebrating 60% completion is just indicative of the lack of excellence. Let the refinery work and meet market demands or completely execute before the celebrations comes. It’s absurd.
Dele Farotimi was in tears earlier this morning narrating how the collective voice of Nigerians who spoke up for him saved his life. This video is too emotional 💔
Nigeria will bring you tears when you think of Nigeria can be if Nigerians are undivided.
Enjoying my time in Ekiti.
It’s been fun

In an age where football has become so stat-focused that it's no longer even fun to watch, and we have AI-powered VAR that can spot when your toenail is offside, why are football awards still given out based on votes instead of stats anyway?
We all know the reason sha.

I remind again
If you are going home to Nigeria this Christmas
1. Buy some starlinks
2. Give one to “Fada”, one to the Headmaster, one to “Eze”
3. Pay the annual subscription in Naira
Especially at the school, you instantly give that school and students internet access, and no setup or contract is required. You are not chasing anyone for updates or returns
If you want to go further, go to Costco and buy a solar recharge kit so it works without power in the village
Bless the youth age grade with this
This costs nothing if converted to Naira
God bless
Let me write directly to my friends in the North
Ignore your politicians
Groundnuts were Nigeria highest earner of FX before Nigeria was merged, and oil transferred to FAAC im 1970. (i have the receipts)
The North was given a detailed economic blueprint, The NNDC was set up in 1948, previously named the Northern Regional Production Development Board (NRPDB) to contribute to the economic development of the then Northern Region of Nigeria. Your economy was exporting and earning WITHOUT crude oil.
You were deceived to leave groundnut oil and chase crude oil. Same with VAT and FAAC, its the "salary" that "Abuja" is paying you to ignore the assets you have. How can Governors that sit on deposits of Lithium, Iron Ore, Nickel, Gold, Arable land, cattle, Silica be waiting for oil money ?

The continued power outages in many parts of the country, particularly in the Northern and Eastern States, as well as South-South states, have remained a cause of grievous concern.
It is heartbreaking to see that the affected states, majorly in the Northern parts of Nigeria, have been facing a total blackout for several days now.
The negative impact of the continued power outage on businesses, especially small businesses, who depend primarily on public power supply to sustain their businesses as a means of livelihood, is unimaginable.
This power crisis, when combined with the present high cost of petroleum products and a harsh operating environment, remains a lethal recipe for widespread business failure and increasing poverty in the country.
I have consistently maintained that solving Nigeria's power and energy crisis is not rocket science.
Many of our comparable peer nations have demonstrated how possible it is to provide sustainable power for their citizens.
Our African neighbour, Egypt, for example, invested aggressively in their power sector, which resulted in the establishment of a sustainable power infrastructure by way of many power stations. Today, Egypt has revolutionized power and energy production in the country, providing sustainable power to millions of small businesses, which account for over 90% of active enterprises in the country and contributes to over 80 percent of their GDP.
My sincere thoughts are with everyone enduring these tough times in our nation.
I call on the government to ramp up efforts and provide both immediate and long-term solutions to this seemingly perennial challenge.
With adequate power supply, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
