If you want your state to be like Lagos from 2027 copy this system and stop shouting GODFATHERISM
📍Have a rallying leader.
📍Build a 32-year plan starting from 2027. Use a disciplined political party for continuity.
📍Raise governors from within the system people who understand governance, have served in it, and can continue, not restart.
📍Set up a Governance Advisory Council to handle political guidance so the governor can focus on governance.
📍Build a policing House of Assembly that holds not just the executive accountable, but the entire civil service system. Empower local governments.
In many states, everything revolves around the governor.
The governor becomes the rallying point, the head of the political party, the de facto advisory council, and even controls the House of Assembly. The same governor often limits the independence of local governments, keeping power centralized.
The result is simple: once that governor leaves office, the entire vision collapses. What was built doesn’t continue—it resets. And the state starts all over again instead of moving forward.
✌️That’s the real secret, not GODFATHERISM

@LeshiOladotun@eazymedia123 That among spent then is worth more than the amount charged now mumu.
And that was then when the country was catering for grossly less than 2,000 students.
But an un4tunate lot like u still wants to pay 20k for tertiary education in 2026.
U are a super mugu
@Riho_CFC@lexyy4real@Didi_xx__@shezzzz_weird U are too dull for my attention.
Un4tunate ones like u want a very quality tertiary education at 20k per session. As how now??
Even pre nursery pupils don't pay such amount.
State the price u said is too high so we cam do comparison.
Mugu pro max
@marvelousokoro1@humhreyGO@alabiopeyemiola The dude is an un4tunate one.
They don't really knw what it takes 2 build a nation. I doubt if they actually knw what it really takes to achieve a great nation they allegedly clamor 4.
They just want everything cheap and free yet quality. As how now???
He is nit worth ur time
Cici was in 100 level when she used her phone to apply for NELFUND. Her school fees were sorted, just like that.
But instead of focusing on school, she started worrying:
“How will I pay back after graduation?”
Meanwhile, she hadn’t even written her first exam.
Cici graduated. Did NYSC. Life started.
Nobody called her. Nobody disturbed her.
In fact, for two years after NYSC, she wasn’t even on their radar.
After that, the only question was simple:
“Cici, are you working or finding your feet?”
Not pressure. Not threats.
If she was still struggling, they gave her time.
If she was earning, repayment was small like a subscription you barely notice.
If things got bad again, everything paused.
And if anything ever happened to her, the loan ends there. No burden on family.
So the real question is:
Why was Cici afraid in 100 level?
She hadn’t started life, but she had already decided she might not make it.
At some point, it stops being caution and starts looking like self-sabotage.
@Didi_xx__@shezzzz_weird@Riho_CFC But student dropping out of school due to finances makes sense to u?
But y'all collecting money from loan app to buy wig and phone at double digits interest rate makes sense to u.
YOU ARE DEFINITELY SENSELESS THEN
@EtieseIsip83557@osazenoo U are the bigger fuul here with a terrible use of the English Language.
If Nelfund has existed when u were supposed to get a proper education at the university, u will be able to compose a proper sentence.
The fraud u support will always be a laser
@LeshiOladotun@eazymedia123 Only fuuls expect quality tertiary education to be cheap for as low as 50k per session let alone 29,500.
Same you will want an average lecturer paid 2m per month and a prof paid 5m.
Y'all don't even know what u want.
Tertiary education is a luxury even in advanced world
“Time will tell” is one of the most underrated phrases out there.
When NELFUND started, I begged a lot of students in UI to enroll. I just wanted the policy to work. I was actively selling NELFUND to people.
People were skeptical. And to be fair, the questions were valid. Even after explanations, many were not convinced. @NELFUND even sent delegates down to UI to engage students directly.
Suddenly, UI, who had increased the school fees by like 200%, gave a one week deadline for students to pay. A lot of students decided to try NELFUND.
At that point, early applicants had already been paid. Then we heard disbursement was once per session. That was the moment it almost fell apart. Because what will now happen to people that I convinced to register for NELFUND?
We pushed. We shalayed. We did a lot of back and forth. And yes, God bless @duchessmabboud for coming through when it mattered.
NELFUND agreed to disburse again.
Now here is where it gets interesting.
About 1000 students were approved in the first batch. The second batch? Over 3000.
People couldn’t believe their eyes when their loans were approved. My phone did not rest. Calls, messages, confirmations. Those who had already paid started pushing for refunds from the school.
The craziest part was the monthly stipend. There is also an option to get a monthly stipend of 20k on the NELFUND portal. They usually pay the stipend around 25/26th of every month. Once it’s 27th like this and the money hasn’t dropped, I’ll start seeing call and message saying “You people have not paid us o.”
I don’t even work for NELFUND. 😭😭
On a brighter side, I’m actually very happy that NELFUND is a success and they didn’t disappoint us.
Till this day, I still receive calls and messages regarding NELFUND. And I’m always happy to assist, because I saw firsthand what it did for people.
NELFUND is a very big deal. So when people reduce it to noise on social media, I just smile.
Go to the streets and ask real students. NELFUND has changed people’s lives fr.
Amid the flood of felicitations following my convocation as Overall Best Graduating Student of LAUTECH, I find it necessary to address the stir around my NELFUND appreciation post. I accept the praise, life changing offers and the backlash, in good faith. Still, it is only fair to set the record straight.
I hail from a village in Osun State, raised in a modest family of five. I attended public primary and secondary schools, not by choice, but because even the most inexpensive private schools were beyond our means.
Even then, survival itself; food and clothing was a daily struggle. I walked miles to school each morning, while my parents laboured as jacks-of-all-trades to make ends meet.
For nine defining years before I entered university, we lived within sight of basic amenities yet beyond our reach, no electricity, no television; just lanterns and candles. Against these odds, I earned a scholarship and now this distinction.
In my third year, a coursemate’s father, someone I had once tutored academically, gifted me my first smartphone which I am still using till now. On several occasions, lecturers, moved by quiet compassion, provided me with clothing. There are many other instances, too numerous to recount.
So, I say this plainly, not all of us are born with a silver spoon. Some of us climbed the ladder by holding on to every rung of legitimate support we could find.
As an engineering student aspiring to make academic history, should I resort myself to blaming my family’s financial situation for my inability to afford fees and essentials like a reliable smartphone or laptop needed for skills and certifications?
For me personally, NELFUND was not incidental; it was instrumental and to acknowledge what helped one’s journey is neither propaganda nor misplaced allegiance. It is simply an act of appreciation.
Thank you @NELFUND and everyone that contributed to this success!
Greatness awaits all of Us.
