When we succeed, may we not see others’ failures as complacency.

Sometimes, success makes even the smartest of us to think that they can’t lose.

[Malachy Odo II @MalachyOdo1]

Almost all dollar billionaires including our Dangote, Elumelu etc are presently at the UNGA for one meeting or the other.

Heads of all global financial institutions like the World Bank, IMF, WTO etc are there as well.

Of course, the Presidents of G7, G20 and BRICS countries are all on ground

But somehow the Nigerian President believes it is more beneficial to his country for him to be vacationing in Paris at this time than being in the same room with these guys..

This still remains the Most fascinating and audacious entrepreneurial move in Nigeria. DIL is essentially now the most advanced Refinery EPCIM contractor in Nigeria.

I'm sure BUA will use them for his Refinery at least as Technical Advisors.

If this task was given to FGN....

Marriage used to be the starting point.

Two people would come together with almost nothing to their name, but each other, and then they would build everything side by side. This process of building led to bonding, it built loyalty, it required tremendous sacrifice and most of all it taught interdependence. But now we are told the opposite. We are told instead that we need to have it all before we marry.

We need a good career, a home, a bunch of money in the bank, your entire identity discovered and solidified, a passport filled with stamps, a degree and much dating experience.

The problem with this is that by the time two people finally decide to join one another, well they have spent most of their lives learning how to do life alone.

So it is not wonder then that building a life with someone else, suddenly feels so much harder. Marriage used to be a beginning, not it is an after thought to an already built life.

Two already self-sufficient and self-reliant people do not easily merge and mesh. It is hard to go from the perspective of “mine”, to “ours”, when individualism is all we have ever known.

And this is why individualism has become the death of marriage.

Feminism as Hatred of Men

If you look at feminism through the prism of one angry woman, who is probably just transferring the aggression of bitter encounters with the men in her world, you are going to grow resentful of the ideology. Even Chimamanda Adichie, who published a booklet titled We Should All Be Feminists, in which she argued for a world where women are afforded equal dignity and opportunity, and where both boys and girls are freed from restrictive gender expectations, has had to clarify her understanding of feminism. In a well-publicised panel discussion, she said, “I often say to young Nigerian feminists, please do not use feminism to justify your wickedness.” She observed that some of these young women were confusing feminism with nastiness.

A lot of us began as self-admitted feminists but had to take a step back when the movement became perverted in some quarters and turned into an avenue for demonising men without exception. Only a foolish man would support a movement that treats all men as complicit in the oppression of women and promotes hatred of men as some form of enlightenment. The paradox is that you cannot dismantle the patriarchal values and institutions that oppress women without forming alliances with men, because an eye-for-an-eye war between men and women is ultimately an asymmetrical one and, more importantly, a self-defeating one.

In the North, we have had generations of women’s rights advocates such as Hajiya Saudatu Mahdi, who pushed for reforms with grace, wisdom and persistence. None of these podcasting characters can match what such women have achieved in securing the representation of women at the table of opportunities. Their work has helped make it possible that, if you walk into classrooms across the North today, you may be surprised to find more women than men in some of them. They achieved this without any delusional warfare aimed at erasing the man or treating him as the natural enemy of the woman.

To reduce feminism to a debate about who gets to cook at home, when domestic arrangements have historically emerged from economic divisions of labour, family structures, culture and circumstance, is a farce long overdue for retirement. What a woman needs is her dignity and the right to live and make choices that suit her. While those choices include the choice not to cook, they also include the choice of the woman who cooks because her husband provides everything for her, the choice of the woman who prefers to stay at home, and the choice of the woman who wears a hijab. If feminism is truly about agency, then it cannot recognise a woman’s freedom only when she makes choices that conform to somebody else’s idea of liberation.

There is no world in which an advocacy built on promoting hatred of men without any exception is a mark of wisdom, but that is tragically the oil that drives much of the nastiness that qualifies as feminism these days.

Dear young people,

As you grow, you will learn that competence does not operate in a vacuum.

Institutions have hierarchies. Power has gatekeepers. Access has its own economy. And sometimes the person who moves fastest is not the most capable, but the one who understands where influence sits and how to reach it.

That does not make competence irrelevant. It means competence must be matched with judgement.

Know the institutions you enter. Understand who holds formal authority, who holds informal influence, and where decisions are actually made. Build relationships, but do not confuse proximity with power. Protect your work. Preserve your independence. And never allow somebody else’s access to become the foundation of your future.

Growth is tough. Sometimes it is brutal. People can be selfish, territorial and merciless when interests collide. You will learn things about ambition, loyalty and power that you may have preferred not to know.

Learn them anyway.

Then keep building.

Build knowledge that cannot easily be appropriated. Build expertise that gives you options. Build networks across institutions, not around one individual. Build enough financial and professional independence to walk away when a room requires too much of your dignity.

The objective is not simply to gain access to powerful spaces.

It is to develop enough substance, leverage and independence that when you enter them, you are not entirely at the mercy of the people already inside.
