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

“Nigerians are being k!ll£d every day, yet the government is not doing enough to stop it. Before I left office, I knew that Nigeria had the capacity to apprehend anyone who committed a crime, anywhere in the country. So why is the government now negotiating with terrørists? If the government cannot protect its people, then we have the right to call on the international community to do what our government has failed to do.”

This is actually an extraordinary admission to make for a US Vice President https://t.co/VXRNYuVFdc

Vance explains that "the idea of globalization was that rich countries would move further up the value chain while the poor countries made the simpler things."

But he laments that it didn't quite work out this way: as he explains it turns out that poor countries (mostly China) didn't want to just remain cheap labor forever and started moving up the value chain themselves. Which is why, according to him, globalization was a failure.

Meaning that the objective of globalization wasn't to reduce global inequalities but very much to maintain them, to institute a system of permanent economic hierarchy where rich countries would maintain their hold over the most profitable sectors while relegating poor countries to perpetual subordination in lower-value production.

This is basically all you need to know to explain 90% of U.S. foreign policy these past few years: colonial thinking is alive and well, and America's shift of strategy in recent years - away from the previous "Washington Consensus" of "free" markets towards a much more overt attempt to contain and restrict China's development - stems precisely from this mindset.

From semiconductor export controls to investment restrictions, these policies aren't about 'national security' in any genuine sense - they're about trying to preserve a global economic order where, simply put, poorer nations know their assigned place and stay there. At the very core, that's the "China threat": a China that stepped out of the economic lane assigned to it by the West.

It's deeply ironic when you think of it: a global game allegedly designed to "spread market principles" worldwide is being abandoned precisely because it worked too well. When China succeeded better than expected, the response wasn't to celebrate the validation of the game's effectiveness but to change its rules. Precisely because the real unspoken game - but now clearly stated by the U.S. Vice President - was to maintain global inequality, not eliminate it.

All in all, in case they hadn't yet gotten the memo, this sends a very clear message to the developing world: economic development will require challenging a U.S.-dominated economic order that views their advancement as a threat rather than a success. Which incidentally is why Vance's words might actually help accelerate the very redistribution of global economic power he laments, pushing more nations to recognize that genuine development requires strategic independence from a system intended to keep them in their place.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.

I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.

To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏
