Sincerely, beyond the oil boom lies the green revolution that can truly change the narrative about Nigeria. But how do we turn vast fields into massive wealth, create millions of jobs and secure the future of feeding millions of hungry citizens?

What’s in a Map?

The UN General Assembly has voted 164–1 to encourage the world to stop drawing Africa as if it were the size of Greenland.

The “Correct the Map” resolution, led by Togo for the African Group and backed by the African Union, urges schools, governments, international organisations and technology platforms to use equal-area projections such as Equal Earth instead of the 16th-century Mercator map. That map inflates landmasses near the poles and shrinks those near the equator. Africa is about fourteen times larger than Greenland. On the map most of us grew up with, they look almost the same size. The resolution is not binding. It does not ban Mercator for navigation. It does not redraw a border. It asks the world to stop teaching a distortion as geography.

That decision matters. And it does not.

It matters because maps are never only maps. They are instruments of worldview. They tell children who is large and who is small, who is central and who is peripheral. For centuries a European navigational tool became the default picture of the planet. When Africa is visually minimised, it is easier to treat the continent as marginal in politics, capital and history. Correcting a false image is intellectual hygiene. Dignity is not a small thing. Representation is not nothing.

But a more accurate silhouette will not industrialise Africa. It will not keep the lights on, raise yields, secure property rights, or produce the manufactured goods that move a country from poverty to prosperity. A map can change how the world sees Africa. It cannot change how African states organise themselves.

In Emerging Africa I argued that the continent was emerging, not rising — and that the difference is not semantic. Emergence is visibility and other people’s narratives. Transformation is productivity, skills, governance, and a coherent worldview of who we are, where we are going, and how we intend to get there.

Development is first a state of the mind. Without that inner architecture — values, strategy, organisation — we keep mistaking symbols for substance.

Now that we are “bigger” on the wall chart, will development follow? No. Not from the map.
Did Rising Asia rise by a map? China did not become a workshop of the world because cartographers enlarged it. South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and later Vietnam did not escape poverty by winning a vote in New York. They rose by seriousness about education, industrial discipline, state capacity and a long-horizon idea of national purpose. The map followed the factories, not the other way around.

This is the recurring temptation in our political culture: emotionally satisfying symbolism that misses the real point. A corrected map can nourish pride. Pride without production is a mood, not a strategy.

Teach the true size of Africa. Let children see that this continent can contain the United States, China, India, Japan, Mexico and much of Europe and still have land to spare. That is a useful shock to the imagination.

Then ask the only question that converts size into power: what are we building on that land?

A fairer map is a beginning of perception. It is not the beginning of prosperity. The world does not owe Africa a projection. Africa owes itself a plan.

[Ben Murray-Bruce @benmurraybruce]

Let me start with the thing nobody wants to say.

Atiku Abubakar is wrong. Bringing back the fuel subsidy is not the answer. We tried it for forty years. It made a few men billionaires, it fed smugglers at our borders, and it never once put money in the pocket of the woman selling tomatoes by the roadside. Going back to it would be going back to the same thieves.

Mr President, you have done well. Removing the subsidy was hard and you did it. You have also sent far more money to the states than any President before you. The Federal Government has done its part.

Now the states must do theirs.

And let me say this as plainly as I know how, so that no governor can pretend to misunderstand it.

Subsidising transport inside a state is the job of that state government. It is not the job of the President. It has never been his job. It is not his job today. It will not be his job tomorrow. Moving people around Ilorin is not the work of Abuja, it is the work of the Kwara State Government. Moving people around Kano is the work of Kano State. Moving people around Lagos is the work of Lagos State.

This is not my opinion. It is our Constitution. Transport within a state is a state matter. The Federal Government has no business running a bus from Ozumba Mbadiwe to Ikorodu, and it should not be asked to. In fact, since the constitutional amendment of 2023, our governors have more power over transport than any governors in the history of this republic. They are simply not using it.

So when a governor tells you the hardship in his state is Abuja's fault, ask him one question: what have you done with your own allocation?

Because that is where the money is. And that is where the responsibility is.

In December 2022, one bus drop inside a Nigerian city cost ₦644. Today it is ₦1,431. Our people are now working half the month just to pay the bus. A man who cannot afford to reach his workplace does not really have a job. A child who cannot afford to reach school does not really have an education.

So this is what I am asking every one of the 36 governors and the Minister of the FCT to do.

One. Students ride free. Every student, to school and back home, at no cost. Not discounted. Free.

Two. Nobody pays more than ₦500. From one end of a city to the farthest end of that same city, ₦500 maximum. And in our smaller cities and towns, it should be far less than that.

Three. Do not buy a single bus. Governors, please. No buses. No taxis. No boats. We have seen those vehicles rusting in government yards from Sokoto to Yenagoa. Instead, register the drivers who are already on the road, fix the fare the passenger pays, and pay the driver the difference.

Four. Pay only for trips you can prove. GPS on the vehicle, a tap card in the passenger's hand. If a trip did not happen, nobody gets paid. That is how you kill fraud before it is born.

The drivers will not lose. The drivers will get richer. Today a driver chases passengers in traffic and prays. Under this scheme he earns a guaranteed payment from the state every month. With steady income he can service his vehicle, and in time he can buy a newer, cleaner, safer one.

And our people will feel it immediately. Money that used to disappear into transport will stay in the pocket for food, for rent, for medicine, for school fees. That is a pay rise that costs nobody a job.

Now, the money. FAAC allocations to the states have exploded since the subsidy was removed from ₦2.8 trillion in 2022 to ₦7.3 trillion in 2025. Nigerians have been asking a fair question ever since: where did it go?

I am asking each state to spend no more than five per cent of its FAAC allocation on this. Five per cent. Ninety-five per cent remains untouched for everything else.

If a governor cannot find five per cent to stop his own people from suffering, then the problem in that state was never money.

Today, I joined His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri, at the Aghofen Palace in Delta State to celebrate his fifth coronation anniversary.

Our traditional institutions remain vital anchors of our culture and unity across Nigeria. I congratulated His Majesty on five years of purposeful leadership and wished him many more years of good health, wisdom and an impactful reign on the throne of his ancestors.
