Hear what foreign investors have to say about Lagos and Nigeria. They see what Nigerians don’t see.
SECRETARY RUBIO: "On Nigeria, where many were very concerned about violence against Christians, we are now actively in counterterrorism cooperation with the Nigerian government and Nigerian security forces."
Today, I joined fellow Muslim faithful at the Apomu Central Mosque for the Jumat prayer alongside my dear wife, Dr. Sekinat Oyebamiji, where we offered prayers for peace, unity, progress, and continued prosperity for our dear state and nation.
Moments like this remind us of the importance of faith, humility, service to humanity, and our collective responsibility to uplift one another regardless of political or social differences.
As we continue this journey together, I remain committed to the ideals of compassionate leadership, people-centered governance, and a better future for every family across Osun State.
May Allah (SWT) accept our prayers, strengthen our hearts with wisdom and patience, and continue to guide us aright. Ameen.
My dear Muslim brothers and sisters,
On behalf of my family and supporters, I warmly congratulate you on this year's Eid al-Adha celebration.
As we celebrate, let us continue to pray for peace, unity, and progress, while showing love and kindness to one another.
To my beloved in Osun State in particular, I believe strongly that brighter days and shared prosperity are ahead for our people. By the grace of Allah and your support, we will build an Osun where opportunities flourish, and every community feels the impact of good governance.
May Allah accept our sacrifices and bless every home with peace, joy, and abundance.
Eid Mubarak!
It is with immense joy and profound admiration that I heartily congratulate our leader, mentor, political pathfinder, and father of the nation, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on his well-deserved, politically earned, and administratively meritorious victory at the nationwide primary election of the All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg).
Mr President, your victory is not by happenstance rather it is a testament to your quality and purposeful leadership that has positively and transformatively rewritten our history and rekindled our collective hope and restored our prime status as a viable, vibrant and formidable entity that Nigerians are proud of across the nation and beyond.
As one of the many beneficiaries of your enduring political tutelage, I remain proud to identify with your remarkable legacy of service, sacrifice, and statesmanship. Your deeply rooted belief in justice, equity, democratic ideals, and people-oriented governance has distinguished you as an exceptional leader and a patriotic nationalist committed to the advancement of Nigeria. Indeed, your victory in the primary election reflects the trust and confidence Nigerians continue to place in your capacity as a bridge-builder, visionary reformer, and relentless advocate of good governance.
As your re-election journey begins with this resounding victory, I pray that Almighty Allah continues to grant you divine wisdom, sound health, renewed strength, and greater grace to continue serving humanity and leading our dear nation toward greater prosperity, unity, and sustainable development.
SENEGAL - PROPER CONTEXT
For those seeking context to the Senegal comparison I made here. Now, follow me attentively:
Shall I Begin?
Senegal's government delayed full fuel subsidy reforms because of fears of social unrest and political backlash. You see, Nature is generous - perhaps too generous - for she has evenly distributed, across every society on earth, a proportionate measure of the headless mob.
An unrepentantly ignorant and vacuously loud population of empty irritants - people who rise like rabid dogs the moment reform knocks on the door, who violently insist the status quo be maintained regardless of the damage it does to them, who will bark at the surgeon and defend the tumour.
We have the Obidients in Nigeria. Senegal has its own chapter of the same miserable franchise.
The young President of Senegal feared their rage. Worse, he grew addicted to their cheap applause. He enjoyed walking on the streets, playing table tennis by the roadside, bathing in their deafening chorus - all while his weak populist policies quietly kept fuel prices low and long-term development on the altar as a permanent sacrifice.
The man who eats without planting - his abundance has an expiry date.
He postponed full fuel subsidy reforms expected in early 2023 all the way to late 2028. Even partial reductions in diesel subsidies triggered earthquakes of political tension. The Senegalese equivalents of Atiku and Peter Obi - the opposition figure Ousmane Sonko - riled up the public to resist even the mildest reform.
They found the young President weak, addicted to cheap popularity and political correctness, and they exploited every crack in his resolve.
Where has the populist agenda taken Senegal today?
Senegal is currently facing perhaps the worst fiscal and debt crises in modern West African history. The numbers are severe enough that analysts now openly compare aspects of it to the Greek debt crisis.
● The Debt: A Nation Living Inside Its Own Grave
Senegal’s public debt is now estimated at about 132% of GDP in 2026. Nigeria is roughly 50% or far less. WAEMU regional ceiling: 70%. Senegal is almost DOUBLE the regional limit. But, the President is young, strong and healthy.
● The Hidden Debt Scandal: Borrowing in the Dark
Audits uncovered roughly:
$13 billion in previously undisclosed debt. Senegal is in so much economic crisis that it had to be borrowing secretly.
That single revelation shattered investor confidence, shocked international lenders, triggered an IMF intervention, and froze Senegal's entire IMF support programme.
The IMF suspended a $1.8 billion lending programme because the country's fiscal numbers were found to be - and I use the technical economic term here - shameful.
● The Growth Collapse: Africa's Former Star, Now Flickering
Senegal was once among Africa’s fastest-growing economies.
Growth figures:
2025: about 6.7%
2026 projection: just 2%
Far below the Sub-Saharan African average of 4.3%. Nigeria is 4.4% by the way.
Every sector in Senegal now bears the bruises of that years-long performance of false kindness. The very people who craved cheap fuel - who chorused for it, who marched for it, who cursed reformers over it - are today the worst casualties of their own demand.
They are at the receiving end of the underdevelopment that subsidy addiction constructed, brick by painful brick.
The road paved with cheap populism has a very expensive destination.
I hope this explanation helps your confusion.
Good Morning Severally...
WE COULD HAVE BEEN SENEGAL TOO
Shall I Begin?
The night before the dawn of 2022, Nigeria had already written her own obituary - the budget told the ugly truth our rulers were too shy to admit.
Nigeria initially budgeted for N443 Billion for fuel subsidy payment. Before the year shut its eyes, the government returned seeking an additional N4.39 Trillion Naira. Ten billion dollars.
For appropriate context:
The entire national budget for year 2022 under review was N17.3 Trillion.
A staggering N4.39 Trillion of that was budgeted just for an unproductive, wasteful and retrogressive subsidy regime.
Approximately 20% of our national budget squandered just to sustain an expensive lie of a cheap fuel to earn the applause of a largely ignorant population.
For a more effective context and this is where it gets interesting or should I say annoying:
The budgetary allocation for:
Health - N711B
Education - N1.3T
Infrastructure (Transport, Works, Power, etc) - 1.45T
Housing - N500B
COMBINED - N3.97T
But Fuel Subsidy alone was N4.39 Trillion - Far higher than the 4 most critical sectors of the economy combined.
The rot was more expensive than the remedy. The poison was better funded than the cure. Generation after generation, we fed the trap and called it governance.
By 2023, the calculations had grown obscene. N18.4 Billion per day.
Not for teachers. Not for surgeons. Not for asphalt or electricity or the crying farmer under a failed irrigation system. Just - fuel subsidy. Every single day.
Madness.
No wonder our Universities were poorly funded and went on strike for a cumulative 59 Months between 1999 - 2023.
No wonder our infrastructure decayed without renovations and reinvestment and no federal road was motorable.
No wonder our hospitals became glorified mortuaries due to poor funding and inadequate investment.
No wonder km long fuel queues consistently plagued us.
No wonder State governors became professional beggars going bowls in hand to the Villa for bail outs just to meet salary obligations.
No wonder that even at the height of our oil prosperity, we still couldn't record formidable achievements.
Until a true leader emerged and did what cowards catalogue as impossible. He took the bull by the horns - bare-handed, in broad daylight, before a nation that had mistaken poison for provision. He damned the consequences. Risked the applause. Staked his re-election on an altar and courageously pulled the trigger.
He removed the subsidy.
And with that singular, seismic, long-overdue act - he did not just balance a budget. He lanced a boil that had been festering for four decades. He healed the nation of its fastest-spreading cancer, even as the patient screamed that the surgery was the disease.
Without that decision, Nigeria today would not merely be struggling. Nigeria would be a cautionary tale that other cautionary tales whisper about - worse than Senegal.
And yet - it was Senegal who got the young president. The photogenic revolutionary. The crowd's favourite. The one Twitter fell in love with.
Good Evening Severally...
Nokia could have invented the iPhone. Three years before Apple did, a Nokia engineer walked into a meeting in Finland with a working prototype: a touchscreen phone with full internet access. Management killed it. The device looked too expensive and too risky to sell. The same year, Nokia also rejected a proposal for an online app store. Apple would launch the same idea four years later.
In 2007, Nokia controlled 40% of the world's mobile phone market and was worth more than $150 billion. By 2013, it had sold its phone business to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. The company that defined the cell phone became irrelevant in less time than it takes most kids to finish high school.
In 2016, two professors from INSEAD and Aalto University spent years interviewing 76 Nokia executives, engineers, and consultants for a research paper. Their conclusion: nobody at the company could have an uncomfortable conversation.
Senior leaders were described as "extremely temperamental." One consultant remembered then-CEO Jorma Ollila shouting at people "at the top of his lungs" in front of fifteen other vice presidents. Middle managers learned the rules fast. Bad news got you fired, so they stopped delivering it.
The engineers knew Nokia's operating system could not compete with what Apple was building for the iPhone. One design team submitted 500 separate proposals to fix it between 2001 and 2009. Not a single one got approved. When a middle manager once suggested that a colleague push back against a top executive, the colleague refused. He "didn't have the courage; he had a family and small children."
The top managers were also afraid, just of different things. They worried about looking weak to investors. So they publicly defended the old operating system while privately knowing it was dying. The middle managers heard the demand for optimism and supplied it. For four years, the people who knew the company was sinking could not get that message to the people who could do something about it.
Researchers call this shoot-the-messenger culture. It shows up in cockpit recordings before plane crashes, in hospital records before preventable deaths, and in the investigations of the 2008 financial crisis. The cost of avoiding a difficult conversation is always paid later, with interest.
Nokia's case is unusual because the math is so clean: the silence cost roughly $143 billion in market value and an entire company. The discomfort would have cost a few bad meetings.

This reminded me of what happen to my Ex Boyfriend in 2018 before I later meet my Husband. 💔
His name is Damilare. He live in the USA. He got the painful news that his father was critically ill back home in Lagos. So he booked the next available flight.
Upon landing at Murtala Muhammed Airport, He decided to lodge in a hotel in Ifako Gbagada first, so he could rest a bit before going to see his father the next morning.
That decision changed His life forever.
He checked into his room. Shortly after, a female cleaner knocked and came in to tidy up. He was inside the room when she entered. He stayed for a few minutes, then stepped out briefly to make a call. When he returned, she was still cleaning.
A few minutes later, chaos erupted.
The cleaner ran out of the room screaming that he had raped her. Security staff rushed in and held him down. The police were called immediately. He was arrested like a criminal in front of other guests. Charged to court.
In court, it became his word against hers.
No camera inside the room.
No witnesses.
Just her tears and her claims.
The judge sentenced him to 12 years imprisonment.
His father died while he was was in the prison. He never got to see him. He never got to hold his hand or say goodbye.
Then after 6 months, the cleaner finds a way to reachout with her family to confess about what really transpire between them. She agrees to help. So the case was Appeal. And she appears in court confirmed her initial statement with tears in her eyes saying:
“I lied against him. He never touched me. I was angry that day and just wanted to punish someone. I’m sorry.”
He was released immediately.
But the damage had already been done.
He forgave her that day. He looked her in the eyes and told her he forgave her.
But he made a vow, he will never step foot in Nigeria again.
Strong Lesson for Every Man Who Lodges in Hotels:
Never stay alone in the room with a female cleaner (or any female staff).
Step out completely. Stay under CCTV. Let someone see you outside.
One false accusation can steal your freedom, your dignity, your father’s last moments, and years of your life.
In Nigeria, sometimes being innocent is not enough.
Protect yourself like your life depends on it, because it does.
Be Wise, KINGS. 🙏
Haba mana! That isnt the truth.😅😅😅
Tony bought Crystal Bank...it became distressed and failed wholly.
Tony started STANDARD TRUST BANK and made it a success of it..it was thriving and became one of the fastest growing bank
2004, Charles Soludo ( then CBN Governor) came up with Bank recapitalisation .
Standard Trust Bank was planning to go for IPO to raise capital....
Same time Hakeem Bello Osagie then largest shareholder of UBA was already having serious money laundering issues with USA Regulators concerning UBA. USA sunsidiary and other issues with CBN
It was clear, he must have to leave UBA to save his head. Then his Dad was OBJ's personal Doctor as President....
A negotiation was reached with Hakeem to relinquish the 14 million shares he held with UBA....and OBJ needed a sound Banker to " take"/ buy the shares....
3 top Bankers went for it...but as one of OBJ's Boys then, he preferred Tony.
Tony eventually bought the UBA shares...became largest shareholder and then merged STB with UBA into one Bigger Bank in 2005!

@hovie_09 You're right
DNA is scary. There's a case of a woman who had a baby with her husband, but when he got a DNA test, it turned out he wasn't the father. She insisted that he was the father, so they repeated the test several times, but it kept giving the same result.
Later on, he discovered that according to the DNA results, he wasn't the baby's father but its uncle, which didn't make sense because he was an only child.
After more exhaustive tests, they discovered that the husband was actually a chimera, which means he had absorbed his twin in the uterus and carried two sets of DNA. So basically the baby was biologically the child of his twin brother, even though he was the father.
Today, I had the privilege of meeting with over 1,500 teachers and 515 health workers whose lives and careers were abruptly disrupted following their unlawful disengagement in 2022 by the current administration in Osun State.
Listening to their experiences was both emotional and deeply revealing. These are dedicated men and women who committed themselves to the service of our dear state, yet for nearly three years, they have lived without jobs, salaries, or the dignity that comes with stable public service employment.
No government that truly cares for its people should abandon willing and qualified workers. A responsible administration must protect, encourage, and reward excellence, not punish it.
I gave them my solemn assurance that under our administration, their concerns will be addressed with fairness, compassion, and sincerity. By the grace of God, we will ensure their return to work, facilitate the payment of their salary arrears, settle outstanding promotion arrears, and restore respect and dignity to the public service.
Osun deserves leadership that puts humanity first. Osun deserves a government that values workers as critical partners in development. Together, we will restore hope, rebuild trust, and deliver a purposeful and people-centered governance.
