You bring in Expatriates and pay them in USD, give them a car, driver, chef, maid and house in ikoyi
You will employ Nigerians and pay them peanuts for the same role and expect them to have work ethic and not be preoccupied with survival
Peter Obi is the fakest thing in mainstream Nigerian politics today. That airport incident should never have made it into a private conversation, let alone be milked in a major interview.
It’s shocking the things Nigerian politicians get away with. He flouted an order at the airport, and instead of getting punished for it like every other Nigerian would be, he gets a pat on the back.
Yet that wasn’t enough for him. He needed to use it to curry the pity of voters. People of goodwill should find such behaviour nauseating. It’s like diving/flopping in football, but much worse.
If you’re looking to insult me over this, let me know. I had an experience in Turkey you can use to land big blows. You’ll pay for me to share the story though.
Monday Headlines—July 13, 2026
From restoring critical power infrastructure to strengthening local industries, expanding healthcare capacity, and widening access to renewable energy, this week's opening #TheHeadlines reflect Nigeria's continued focus on inclusive growth and national development.
Happy New Week 🎉
Hello @PeterObi,
You imposed a fresh tax on poor traders in Anambra State coupled with the numerous levies they were paying.
The women protested for days in front of your Government House. You never came out to address them, nor did you reverse the tax.
Obi, you were once a governor. Shut up and stop disgracing yourself.
This is the extent IPOB went to in their bid to disgrace Ndigbo.
In their attempt to prove that Fulani bandits were operating in the Southeast, they became the very bandits themselves.
They did the same thing in Imo State, dressing in Fulani attire and massacring innocent people
Federal Government has launched the National Cancer Control Plan (2026–2030) with the goal of reducing Nigeria's cancer burden by 30 percent by 2030, while strengthening prevention, early detection, treatment, research, and access to quality cancer care.
The plan prioritises prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, research, data management, artificial intelligence, and oncology workforce development.
I MET FEMI OTEDOLA YESTERDAY in London… and for the first time in my life, I was genuinely star-struck.
The timing couldn’t have been worse. He was on a phone call, walking with purpose, and I was cycling with someone who wasn’t a confident rider, so stopping for a proper conversation wasn’t really an option.
I greeted him and apologised for interrupting. To my surprise, he responded with a warm, welcoming smile. That small gesture stood out to me.
In a hurry, I did what most people would: I introduced myself, asked for a quick photo, thanked him shook his hands and rode away.
But from the moment I turned away, I kept replaying that moment.
I told myself, “He was on a call, I didn’t want to be rude.” And maybe that was true. But maybe it was also because I wasn’t prepared for an opportunity I never expected to have.
Looking back, I wish I’d asked one thoughtful question. I wish I’d taken a few minutes to learn from someone whose journey represents decades of experience, resilience, and achievement. I wish I’d shared some of the ideas I’ve been working on or asked him about his book that I’ve read a few times.
Instead, I left with a selfie 🥲.
And that’s when this hit me: opportunities rarely announce themselves. Sometimes they appear unexpectedly and disappear within seconds. The difference between a memorable moment and a missed opportunity is often preparation.
I’m not going to dwell on what I didn’t do (I PROBABLY WILL). But I’ll take the lesson.
The next time I meet someone I admire, I will try to be remembered for the conversation and not just the photo.
Until then: I’ll keep learning, keep building meaningful relationships, and stay ready for whatever opportunity comes next.
Nigeria has changed. The question is: Has it changed enough for global investors?
For years, foreign investors stayed away from Nigeria because of one major concern: Getting their money in was easy. Getting it out wasn't.
The infrastructure is better. The market is deeper. The reforms are real.
But now the challenge is proving to global investors that speed and accessibility can coexist.Because if Nigeria gets this right...The next wave of capital may not go into Treasury Bills, it may go straight into the stock market.

VIDEO 1: “People live in local governments. We have 774 LGAs—are they functioning, and who is accountable for the funds I send them?” — President Tinubu
VIDEO 2: “I refused to sign the Local Government Autonomy bill because I don’t believe in it.” — Gov. Seyi Makinde
Video 3: “We lack basic infrastructure in Oriire Local Government Area. There are no quality schools or healthcare centres.” — Yawota resident
Me : Who is responsible for the lack of development in Oriire? The President who granted local government autonomy and give them thier money or the governor, who says he does not support local government autonomy?👇👀
