Africa is the poorest continent in the world. Sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP per capita was about $1,532.9 in 2024, according to World Bank data.

So when people ask why Africa is poor, the answers usually come quickly: bad government, weak institutions, corruption, poor infrastructure, bad courts, colonial history, geography, disease and bad policy.

All of these explanations matter. It would be unserious to pretend otherwise. Bad government makes business harder. Poor power supply raises the cost of production. Bad roads increase the cost of trade. Weak courts reduce trust. Currency instability destroys planning. Corruption punishes people who want to build properly. Nobody who has actually tried to build in Nigeria can honestly say governance does not matter. But I do not think governance is the whole story.

The problem with the governance argument is not that it is wrong. The problem is that it has become too complete. It explains everything so neatly that it stops us asking harder questions about ourselves.

If governance is the only explanation for Africa’s poverty, then we are effectively saying that all 54 African countries somehow simultaneously failed the same exam. Different histories, different cultures, different religions, different colonial experiences, different legal systems, different resource endowments, but the same broad result. That may explain part of the story, but it cannot explain all of it.

This article makes a different argument. Read more here:https://t.co/QZQs3a99Fq

Next week, I will be taking 3 students and 2 teachers to Rome, Italy, all expenses paid by me.

All visas have been issued and all arrangements have been sorted.

The students will represent Nigeria in the Maths and Science categories of the International STEM Olympiad.

They will compete alongside 154 other countries.

The students who won the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and the teachers who supported them are going. Both the teachers and the students will experience growth together.

I will continue to push our bright minds to global stages.

In 10 years, I pray you will be alive to see the outcome of our investments in our children today.

Let’s Talk About the Uncomfortable Stuff...
Spoiler: It’s integrity.

Okay, real talk. Imagine a studio hands over N200 million to make a film. You work your magic, figure out how to do it for N150 million, and suddenly there’s N50 million “leftover.” Tempting as it might be to pocket that as a “bonus” for your hustle? Nope. That money isn’t yours—plain and simple. I recently read about a director who used studio funds to buy luxury cars instead of putting it all into the project. Yikes.

Greed doesn’t just feel one kain—it backfires. Skimping on budgets to line your own pockets often means cutting corners, hurting the final product, and risking your reputation. Padding budgets or sneaking percentages off invoices? That’s not “creative accounting.” It’s stealing. And it’s wrong.

Here’s the fix: Be upfront about what you earn. On my projects, I take a salary for the roles I play. My company charges agreed-upon fees for services, and everything gets approved upfront. No surprises. Oh, and I get audited monthly—no sweat, because transparency matters.

If you’re managing someone else’s money:
- Declare your fees (and any perks) before the project starts.
- Get approval from whoever’s footing the bill.
- Let project funds stay project funds. Track every penny.

Bottom line: That money isn’t yours. If you’re faithful with the small things, people will trust you with bigger ones.
