If you don’t apportion the blame properly, how do you stem bad behavior? That’s why systems benefit strongly from criticism rather than praise, especially in our hierarchical systems with its performative sycophancy.

Those who raised these issues in the past were attacked viciously like they sought some personal benefit. Nigerians must have a consensus of what’s healthy for the country in the short to long run.

The young undergraduate studying electrical engineering wants to work in industry. They need experience and it is your responsibility as president to create policies to encourage industrialisation. It is not a good use of their skills and knowledge to start studying financial statements.

Some of our brightest engineering minds are writing ICAN while biochemists are arguing about frontend vs backend instead of working on innovative research.

You cannot build a country like this.

When people have the means to invest in the stock market, they’ll do so without ever needing an extra undergraduate course.

Truth be told, many Nigerians are living with one form of personal or institutional trauma or another, shaped by years of difficult and often painful interactions with the state. I include myself in that reality.

A traumatised society rarely responds from the same point of pain. People carry different wounds, which helps explain why some justify acts of impunity when they appear to serve their interests or align with their sense of justice. This is not an excuse for criminality or defiance. It is the lived reality of a society that too often rewards wealth over character, outcomes over integrity.

A society burdened by unresolved psychological stress also has a much lower threshold for tolerance. Trust erodes, empathy diminishes, and disagreement can quickly escalate into hostility.

Healing a nation requires more than economic reform.

It requires rebuilding trust between citizens and the institutions that serve them, while restoring the idea that character, justice and accountability matter. There are fewer examples of these now.

Data centers in America consume about 4% of America's electricity as at 2024, and this is expected to double in 2030. Now NIVIDIA & Span are collaborating to install mini data centers outside private homes to utilize excess electricity at homes and small businesses. There are some conversations about development, manufacturing & technology that cannot even begin to apply to Nigeria just because we do not have power. Whoever wins the next election has to focus on just one thing - electricity! It'll fix jobs, explode the economy, drop inflation, open up new ecosystems bigger than telco did, and improve productivity.

I don't know why power is so so difficult to fix for the world's most populous black nation but it's shameful and is the most important dependency of our development and economic transformation.

-No ECG machines in hospitals.
-Only about 1 or 2 functional MRI machines in public hospitals in the entire country.
-No defibrillators in hospitals.
-No ambulances in public hospitals and where they exist, they are for VIPs only.
-No basic medical equipment in hospitals such as gloves, syringes or plasters. Patients have to buy from outside sources.
-Doctors are owed salaries for months.
-Hazard pay for doctors is either unpaid or grossly insufficient.

But air ambulance is the first step they choose to take.

If there was an Olympic event for putting the cart before the horse, we would easily take the gold medal.

"Thank you for the honor."
Also, everyone has been calling him for an interview?

Man, Nigeria is a strange, strange place. You would think this interview was about a small scandal and not about a registered sex offender who was shown on camera being a pedophile. So he leaves prison and people are lining up to have him come on their show?

That is why I say, Nigeria is one of the safest and least stigmatising places to be if you are a pedophile, fraudster, criminal or even murderer. Just don't be poor.

Excessive skit making is an economic distraction by design, clowns don't build an economy. Tackling problems are more important than hiding problems

3 out the 33 airports in 🇳🇬 handle 92% of 🇳🇬 air traffic, a good example of infrastructural waste

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

🇳🇬 states are building airports while 75% of the rural population is poor, this is economic witchcraft

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

' 🇳🇬 doesn't have a comparative advantage in agriculture/industrialization rather focus on technology ' Highly unfortunate statement

[Olúṣeun Onìgbìndé @seunonigbinde]

If there's a latest version of Lexus next year, the Governor will have it. However, for him to ensure that every child has an opportunity to learn in a safe and decent manner always seems like an impossible effort.

Nigerian leaders should move like the country they pretend to lead.

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

🇳🇬 economy is about 100X smaller than 🇺🇸. 🇳🇬 cabinet team is 3X bigger than 🇺🇸 cabinet team . You don't need complex algebra to figure out the problem

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

Reforms without fiscal discipline are pains with no economic gains. Efficiency and prudence are usually in the same paragraph

[Olúṣeun Onìgbìndé @seunonigbinde]

Nigerian Governors are driving/buying the finest of cars in long convoys. Even the Chief Executive of PG County (the equivalent of LGA) in Maryland, USA, which generates 7x Lagos State revenues, won't dare such luxury.

You can't have a safe economic climate when 18 million kids can't have access to basic education. Elitism thrives under a functional and growing middle class

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

The 18 million kids not in 🇳🇬 schools, will make today's bandits and present state of insecurity look like a cartoon network in future. Even if you relocate,you will have to evacuate everything locally, to be totally immune, which is categorically impossible

[Ayò-Bánkólé Akíntújoyè @AyoBankole]

Watching Nigerian news gets increasingly scary. The scariest part is not in the current leaders. It is in the realization that there is already a political apprentice system that ensures that the future leaders end up worse. Except something drastic happens or we get lucky.

The total NASS Budget for 2024 is pegged at N515 Billion. The market valuation of Fidelity Bank 🇳🇬 is N322 billion
