When I become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:
@JAMBHQ will be abolished. Admission into tertiary institutions should be determined by the institutions themselves under a transparent, merit-based system, not by another layer of bureaucracy.
The National Youth Service Corps @nysc_ng , in its current form, will be scrapped. In its place, we will establish a two-year, voluntary National Job Corps that guarantees participants meaningful employment, practical skills, entrepreneurship support, and pathways into permanent careers.
Nigeria's young people do not need more compulsory schemes. They need opportunities, jobs, skills, and the freedom to choose their future.
@Tancrededib Keyda—Africa unified property lifecycle platform:
$2.8B+ annual rental market in Nigeria - mar with distrust $500M+ fraud loss annually
Over $4B+ diaspora projects zero professional oversight platform
Raising $1.5M - 18mth runway Lagos pilot.
MVP built
The type of change we all clamored for across all sectors. #BuildAfrica#MakeNaijaWork
A little bit of intentionality
A little bit of empathy
A little bit of effort
A little bit of foresightedness
A little bit of “know” what it means to lead people
What is stopping our lawmakers from moving a bill that mandates all states of the federation to use this as a baseline for all public primary schools?
It takes just a lit bit of sanity and empathy to make little change that significantly improve the lives of our people. #Change

There is this Yorùbá idiom, ìtùbíǹùdí wrongly pronounced as ìtùbíǹùbí. The idiom means settling things amicably.
ìtùbíǹùdí is formed from 2 words:
ìtùbí + ìnùdí. Ìtùbí is a product of ìtù and ìbí, while ìnùdí comes from ìnù and ìdí
In this video, I did a total breakdown.
Tosin Eniolorunda and his co-Founder are Nigerian trained. All of the day one guys at Moniepoint are Nigerians and most of them are still with the company and doing very well.
Moniepoint employ, in total, almost 30,000 Nigerians. They are a top employer in NIGERIA 🇳🇬. They pay a minimum of 75% percentile of the market. Junior Developers earn N1M monthly. Most earn N3M and some earn N4M monthly. They have people who earn around N10M monthly!
Moniepoint remains one of the highest transacting companies in AFRICA. They are a world-class company. And if Moniepoint did not exist, Nigeria would have gone to CHINA, completely.
Tosin must have spoken from a place of deep passion and pain because human capital in Nigeria is low. I have tweeted about this several times as well. Yes, we have good talent, but when you look at the larger population of the country, we have so much work to do. This is a FACT!
By the way, Moniepoint has paid some employees a million dollar in stock options (IN CASH). And there are at least 15-20 people who work with Moniepoint in Nigeria who are dollar millionaires!
So, to say they underpay or they take advantage of cheap labour is redundant and lazy talk.
Again, criticisms should be fair and balanced. But Business Leaders should never shy away from shedding light on challenges across the country.
PS: MONIEPOINT HAS PRODUCED A GEN Z A BILLIONAIRE!! JULIAN DUMEBI DURU IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HAS TOLD HIS STORY. He was a Product Manager, then a Software Architect, before the final promotion to Principal Engineer all at Moniepoint 👏🏽👏🏽.
Finding good tech talent is hard. Paying for it is harder. We've solved both.
Through the Nigerian Jubilee Fellow Programme, you hire trained, assessed tech talents and pay absolutely nothing in salary for 12 months.
Did you listen to the 40 year old CEO of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda speak at the Platform yesterday?
He made a statement that didn't let me sleep all night. Not as if I was entirely surprised. But it once again stirred the difficult truth for our young people.
He said they had over 500 vacancies they could not fill because they struggled to find enough Nigerians qualified enough to fill those roles.
Think about that for a moment.
In a country where millions are looking for jobs, a company still cannot find enough qualified people to employ.
We are talking about a company willing to pay millions as monthly salary for those roles.
That is painful.
According to him, there are several reasons for this, including:
👉Our broken educational system,
👉Social media distraction,
👉The hookup lifestyle,
👉The Yahoo lifestyle, and
👉A creeping culture of laziness.
If you are someone who pays attention you already know that this is just the simple truth.
Let's start with the educational system.
80% of people gaining admission to the university today cannot pass SS1 exam let alone WAEC and JAMB.
Their parents bought the results and admission for them.
Now, when they get into the university, what are they being talk? Very outdated and irrelevant curriculum.
Talk about social media distraction.
In the last two days, I have seen many youths busy looking for videos of whoever in 3sum. You see a jobless graduate going from blog to blog, from post to post, looking for s€x tape - very unfortunate.
This morning, it is Portable and the other one that all of them are talking about. Celebrity lifestyle is a serious threat to personal growth.
Skits on ny@$h and bress get millions of views, while no one cares to read intellectual content.
Parents now pay money for Yahoo boys to coach their children.
I can go on and on to show you how true Tosin's presentation is. But let me hold on here.
And honestly, this problem does not start when people become adults.
It starts from childhood. It starts from teenage age.
It starts from what children are exposed to.
What they celebrate.
What they consume daily.
What they are trained to value.
Many parents are preparing children only to pass exams and for fun.
But the world has changed.
The future will reward children who can think, create, communicate, solve problems, use technology, manage money, and build things.
Yet many teenagers of secondary school age and even undergraduates today spend hours watching prank videos, endless comedy skits, gossip content, and random entertainment that adds nothing to their growth.
A teenager can name 30 celebrities. He can mention all the hit songs released by Davido and Flavour.
But cannot explain what an asset is.
A child can spend 5 hours on a phone…
But cannot confidently use a computer.
A child can memorize song lyrics…
But has never tried selling anything, creating anything, or solving a simple real-life problem.
A 27 year old graduate knows all the comedy shows happening this year, but does not even know the event called "The Platform".
Are we seeing the danger?
We are raising children in the middle of the greatest information age in human history…
Yet many are growing up without direction, curiosity, discipline, or valuable skills.
That is why Kidpreneurship matters.
Because the goal is not just to make children start businesses, but to divert the direction of their thinking.
The goal is to raise children who can survive, think independently, create opportunities, and compete globally.
Children who know that:
• Money is earned through value.
• Skills matter.
• Character matters.
• Discipline matters.
• Creativity matters.
• Consistency matters.
Let me simplify it for parents.
If you want to prepare your child for the future.
Children who will not be unemployment casualties.
Children who will be ready for global opportunities like the one Moniepoint advertised. Then:
As a white South African born in the same year as @elonmusk , but never left, I can assure you that his thinking is still deeply stuck in Apartheid. He is a disgrace to South Africa.
