Taking the high road is why are where we are presently.
Better start matching energy with those folks.

๐ฎ๐ท Iranian State TV:
โThe anti-Iranian U.S. Senator, Lindsey Graham, died after seeing he could not overthrow the Iranian nation.
He was gay and unmarried, leaving behind no offspring to pollute the world.โ
In other news, Lindsey Graham is dead.
โI am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to doโฆโ
โLevel the place.โ
โDo in Gaza what we did in Tokyo and Berlinโ
Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen
Good riddance! Along with Netanyahu, I pray this twat rots in the deepest pits of hell and I will not pretend to show any respect at his death. He was a despicable POS to Muslims and never hid it !!
Lots of critics always forget the concept of the "social bubble".That the people around them all seem to consider an idea incorrect does not imply the wider majority out there agrees.Millions of Nigerians benefit from NYSC-as imperfect as it is. I know cos I served as a teacher.
NESG SURVEY ABOUT NYSC: December 2025.
10,000 respondents, 42% of them serving Corps members; 45% members of the general public; 8% parents; 3% employers.
A graphic artist was offered โฆ450K for a job, but he rejected it because he wanted โฆ500K. My 16-year-old nephew overheard the conversation and asked, "Why not use AI?" Not that I didn't know this; I just wasn't sure what level of human input AI would need to get it done. The graphic work was completed in less than three hours without me spending a dime. That foretells how AI will take many people's jobs.
Don't get sucked into the negative corner of the universe.
Nigeria may not be there yet, but this administration & BAT dey try! However, more is needed ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
We thank God for growth. This time 4 years ago this was not your outlook on life. (You know what I'm talking about).
Really good to see how far you've come...
Q: Why is it so easy to criticise and have a plan till you get into government? ๐ค
A: Because outside govt, you see the problem in straight lines. Inside government, you meet the maze.
From outside, failure often looks like a lack of will, competence, courage, or integrity. Sometimes it is. But inside government, plans meet weak institutions, inherited liabilities, vested interests, procurement rules, courts, legislators, budget limits, security realities, civil service inertia, and the politics of timing.
Culture happens, stories begin and self-preservation agendas find life.
The easiest sentence in public life is: โThey should just fix it.โ The harder truth is that the state is not one person with one button. It is a network of laws, interests, fears, incentives, sabotage, capacity gaps, and consequences.
Still, complexity is not an excuse for failure. Government exists to organise complexity into results. The real test of leadership is whether a plan survives contact with reality, adapts without losing its moral centre, and delivers relief citizens can feel.
So, I have learnt to appreciate progress, momentum and incremental gains..... not the eldorado version.
Yet, criticism keeps power honest, but getting results for desired governance requires more than criticism. It requires getting involved, sequencing, coalition-building, courage, competence, communication, and the humility to accept that the problem was deeper than the slogan.
The code is to win by knowing when to lose, win or compromise.
On a scale we can all relate wirh, we should for example know that the wedding, of which we priotise expenses with, is just an event, while the marriage remains the institution of priority. Even within this family arrangement, optimising value reflects similar challenges.๐ You can read this in a way you get the message.
Be ye circumspect.....
Excellent write-up, Femi. I have preached this for as long as I can remember. Recognise the complexity but also recognise that with effort and determination, you can make progress. But recognise the complexity first!
That first part is what many miss. They dismiss governance as not being rocket science and give examples of people building roads and pouring concrete, as if that is all there is to it (important as they are). They view anybody reminding them of the need to recognise complexity as making excuses for failure. And yet, they wonder how many arrogant former critics and โexpertsโ fail woefully when given government responsibility.
If you recognise the complexity and make an effort to understand it, you have a better chance of fixing it. You cannot fix what you donโt understand.
The magic formula is to respect the complexity without being afraid of it or allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by it. Dismissing it out of hand is a sure way to fail.
