You assume people will act fairly if you act fairly. They won’t. People act in alignment with their incentives, not your expectations. If the structure rewards selfishness, selfishness appears.
Many of you think the world revolves around your street, your state of origin, your tribe.
The world is so huge.
Soon as you leave the shores of this country, many things you think are deep become irrelevant.
Your only identifier is “Nigeria”.
This is why this country must be great and we must all come together to ensure its survival.
"I was very sad when I saw that the federal government was handing over the keys of houses to judges, and I asked myself, 'Under what law are we operating?' Because it's discriminatory and illegal." — Femi Falana
“At times you don't get successful because you're the best in class or because you're the fittest or because you're the most energetic. At times you need luck. I'm a product of luck.” — Billionaire Businessman Tony Elumelu
Putting politics aside, I believe everyone from Oyo State can agree that our Local Governments must receive their allocations in full. Every guber candidate should make this a clear commitment.
Basic security, primary healthcare, primary education, rural roads, sanitation, markets, and other essential community services are meant to be delivered at the local government level. President Tinubu has reengineered our finances that made more money go to the states and LGs so there should be no excuse.
When Local Governments are starved of funds (almost all states and parties have been guilty) they are unable to perform these basic responsibilities.
The consequences are damming. Deteriorating infrastructure, poverty, poor primary healthcare and education, environmental neglect, forced migration to urban areas, greater vulnerability to insecurity and banditry, reduced agricultural productivity etc.
Strong Local Governments are the foundation of a strong country. They should be empowered, not weakened.

🩵🤍 Leo Messi: “I have been preparing for this World Cup for almost a year”.
“I spent December in Argentina, training morning and afternoon, because I knew I was going to give everything to arrive in the best possible shape”.
"I was sleeping on bare floor until I could save enough to buy a mattress, you don't need to push yourself, you pace yourself, just do things one step at a time..."

A Toronto condo bought for 730K just two years ago is now selling for 620K in the exact same building.
An entire generation was told that real estate was a guaranteed retirement fund, and now they are watching 110K vanish before their eyes. 🇨🇦
“The secret to convincing Leo Messi to join Inter Miami wasn’t money — it was family. I first found schools for his kids, then brought in Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba because Messi wanted his family to be comfortable before anything else”🥺
