In relationships, they are always against your female friends.
In marriage, they are always fighting with their mother in-laws.
In their son’s marriages, they are always fighting with their daughter in-laws.
In the work place, they don’t like his work wife or female colleagues.
Same people who always claimed men hate women.
I have a theory: Nigerian leaders struggle to handle complexity and anything with moving parts. We can pour concrete. It’s pretty straightforward. I guess that is why people see roads being built and say that Governance is not rocket science. If roads are what they mean by governance, they would be right: it’s not rocket science.
When it comes to complexity, multiple components, or moving parts, our leaders tend to struggle. For instance, electricity involves generation, transmission, distribution, metering, billing and tariff management. Complexity. We don’t handle it well.
That is why, when a new governor succeeds one who has already poured concrete, they seem clueless about what to do next. Facilitating the economic activity that will make use of the roads and buildings is harder than pouring the concrete to build them. It requires brain power. Complexity hurts the brain. We don’t like it.
In countries like France, most politicians would be expected to have attended one of the governance schools if they want to seek high public office. In the UK, you would probably have studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford or Cambridge. In the USA, it would be usual for you to have attended an Ivy League university. Same as Japan and Singapore. In all these places, you would be exposed to complexity, innovation and problem-solving.
In Nigeria, all you need is to have completed a course of secondary education. Did you know that you actually don’t have to have a WAEC certificate? You just need to have finished secondary education, you don’t need to have passed WAEC or even NECO. Is it surprising the quality of leaders that we have?
It is not about having a PhD. Most Nigerian governors with PhDs have been thoroughly disappointing. It is more about being equipped with the skills and intellectual rigour to handle the complexity of governing others and making the best decisions on their behalf.
I would suggest that we upgrade the Public Service Institute of Nigeria and the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria into proper governance schools. We should then make
it mandatory that all politicians who want to occupy elective executive positions (like LGA Chairman, Speaker, Senate President, Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President or President) must attend and graduate from those institutions before they can even seek any elective public office at all.
Do you agree with my theory? If not, do you have a counter theory? If you agree, do you think that this would make any difference? If you think that it won’t make any difference, what do you think would? #NaijaKnowledgeX
Day 3 of explaining how somethings in this world work. So you can ask “why”.
As it stands today, Africa’s GDP sits at $2.8T. Yes the entire continent. 50% of this GDP comes from 3 Countries out of 54, it used to be 4, For context & scale Apple is valued at $4.1T.
There’s nothing in womanizing and dating multiple girls. It’s a life full of regrets and sadness. Find one girl, marry her , love her in many ways with all your heart. Be her comfort, her peace, her protector, and her happiness

"I knew there was significant external interest.. Before the election, America sent for some Northern Governors to have a meeting to discuss the Nigerian election. The secretary of state came to the country to have various meetings.."

Men's mental awareness month
It’s okay to be vulnerable.
I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman—you’re human. You’ve got a heart, and it wasn’t built to hold in all that pain.
Let it out. Cry if you need to. Scream if you have to. Just don’t bottle it up, because it’ll eat you alive from the inside.
Take care of your mind. Take care of your soul. Nobody else will do it for you.
You matter.
