After watching Zacch Adedeji asking “what would they do differently?” and saying Nigerians are below the level of the reforms to Tinubu….

As a Nigerian leaving in Manitoba, let me show you what the Canadian 🇨🇦 (and Manitoba) government is actually doing differently to ease the burden on ordinary people:

1. Just added 75,100 jobs in one month (unemployment at a 2-year low of 6.4%). Manitoba alone added almost 6,000.

2. Homeowners in Manitoba get up to a $1,600 property tax credit this year (rising again next year).

3. Canada Child Benefit increased up to $8,157 per young child (tax-free monthly support).

3. Rent Assist and housing benefits for low-income renters in Manitoba.

4. New Groceries & Essentials Benefit, extra cash for food and daily costs.

5. Cut the first income tax rate so middle-class families keep more of their pay.

6. Suspended federal fuel tax, cheaper gas at the pump, FHSA for first-time home buyers.

Reforms that don’t reduce the pain ordinary people feel every day are just theory.

Governments exist to make life more bearable for the masses, not to lecture them that they “don’t understand the level.”

Should leaders be asking this citizens “what would you do differently” while people are struggling or should they be solving the problem?

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

I won’t. The Oransaye report identified 541 federal agencies. By my understanding, more than 1,500 are now funded from the budget ( a tripling, for something that was supposed to reduce).

I won’t have nearly 50 ministers (of whom members of the public probably can’t name more than 10).

I would prioritise the cost of food, electricity, transportation and cement over a coastal road costing trillions.

I would signal prudence to set the tone from the very top.

[Abdulrahman Ishaq @Ishaqor]

@DrJoeAbah Welcome back sir🙏

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

If true, this is a deeply insensitive statement.

But to answer the question of what I would have done differently, I can just look at the UK’s Andy Burnham who is trying to tackle the cost of living.

In just 19 days, he has:

- removed the 5% VAT on domestic electricity (it is 7.5% in Nigeria)
- capped bus fares at £2 per ride by reimbursing private sector operators of the difference in real costs
- pledged a 20% cut in business rates for pubs and clubs (an important part of British social life)
- maintained and adjusted Universal Credit to favour the poorest and most vulnerable.

So, I would have used the increasing tax revenue to tackle the cost of living. That is what I would have done differently at my own level. Hope that helps.

Professor Marandi (Tehran):

- Piers, allow me to offer some advice. I'm not going to debate who is right or wrong – Russia or Ukraine – right now. That's not the point. I simply want to say that your media outlets have been misleading the public for two years, constantly claiming that Ukraine is winning. And then suddenly, it turns out that it is on the verge of collapse. Imposing false narratives ultimately becomes a disaster for yourselves – for the people of England, Europe, and America. Your endless wars, which are based on these false narratives and disinformation, create massive waves of refugees that are overwhelming your own countries. And all of this is happening because of your own actions.

The ignorance behind some takes from people who should know better is astonishing. Worse still is seeing others amplify them.

Emir Sanusi has been one of Nigeria's most vocal advocates for education, particularly girl child education. He has never endorsed Boko Haram, just as the vast majority of Northerners reject the group's ideology.

Painting him, or Northern elites generally, as Boko Haram sympathizers is lazy, unfair, and dangerous profiling.

We don't stereotype Southerners as cultists, drug dealers, baby factory CEOs, or 419 fraudsters. Let's extend the same fairness to everyone

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Rather than launching a campaign against the ICC and continuing to arm a government engaged in a genocide, US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. Mayor Mamdani is right: PM Netanyahu should be arrested and face justice at the Hague.
