The first thing Singapore did was to educate its people.
This journey is not even going to be long.
Nigerians are already very smart people.
Give quality primary and secondary education.
Bring in companies that can employ thousands of people.
Set them up in several states. See this mining situation. Get a hold of it and make it a very formal sector.
Allow the people who want to sell Akara and other things access to soft loans. Create a structure with every bank to help them be accountable. Like a credit score.
Fix electricity.
If it’s too hard to change all the lines, create solar plants for different clusters while you take a few years to fix power lines to be efficient.
Step by step, country will be better.
I don’t know why we don’t have a leader that wants to do this.
It’s not rocket science.
You only waste your emotional energy if you hate Igbos.
You think you can break the Igbos by denying them the presidency?
People who remain unbroken by a catastrophic civi war?
Dey play.
If they don't involve you, step back.
If they don't tell you, don't ask.
If they don't invite you, don't go.
If they don't value you, don't stay.
Know your place in people's lives.
It's not ego. It's self-respect.
Life isn’t fair. Some have money but not health. Love but not children. Degrees but no job. Jobs but no peace.
The mistake is thinking someone’s life is perfect because you only see the part they’re winning in.
Everyone’s fighting something you can’t see. Be grateful for yours.
In my previous place of work, we had two female staff who both had a crush on our boss. 😂
Our boss was a young, single guy who had just moved from the US to Nigeria to start his company.
Every morning, the competition would begin.
The moment our boss walked into the office, one of them would rush to collect his bag and say, "Sir, your suit looks really nice today." The other would immediately chip in, "Sir, I was just saying that blue is definitely your color."
If he got a haircut, they were the first to notice.
If he wore a new perfume, they somehow knew.
If he coughed, one would quickly bring him water while the other asked if he was feeling okay.
During meetings, they laughed the hardest at his jokes, even the ones that weren't funny. 😂 Whenever he praised one person's work, the other would suddenly become extra hardworking the next day.
The funniest part was that our boss never encouraged any of it. He simply thanked them, focused on work, and carried on as if nothing was happening.
Then, a few months later, he sent his wedding invitation to HR. The wedding was taking place in the US.
The office was unusually quiet that day. 😂 They really thought he was going to leave his fiancée in the US and marry one of them.
They were very delusional. 😂
If you give a black man money he starts oppressing his neighbours.
If you give two black men money, they start competing with each other.
If you give 3 black men money they will buy guns and kill each other.
If you give 4 black men money, they will form an elitist group to enslave and control their people.
This is the most united I’ve ever seen Africa. That alone proves we aren’t divided by nature. Imagine if we redirected this same energy toward demanding better leadership, ending corruption, creating opportunities and building the Africa we all deserve. We’d rewrite our future.
Ironically, this heated "Olodo Uprising" conversation is actually a good sign for Nigeria.
Nigeria is finally having its first endogenous, organically-defined culture war over an issue that is intrinsically important to Nigerian society.
Every other culture war that post-colonial Nigeria has fought until now has been imported Yankee slop, or imported religious slop, or both (LGBTQ, 3rd wave Feminism, "sexual liberation", tithing, NYSC hijab, etc).
A society fighting internal culture wars over its own self-defined issues is a society that is finally obtaining an identity of its own. Long may the war continue, and may the olodos suffer crushing defeat that dooms their uprising to the chapters of a Jude Bela historical documentary released in 2045.
You can tell a lot about a person by what they do after hurting you.
Some apologize. Some reflect. Some change. And some will rewrite the entire story in their head just to avoid feeling guilty. Accountability is rare because protecting the ego is easier than becoming better.
