We Need An African School of Leadership

In Africa, there is an almost criminal lack of basic knowledge of History, International Politics, Diplomacy and contemporary issues among the political class.

Our most critical players in governance have zero idea how the world works; and this needs to change.

Understandably, this poor appreciation of these issues also abounds in the larger society hence the self-deprecating play into the hands of foreign countries, multilateral and donor agencies.

What then happens is that while the knowledgeable ones, few as they are, work for national development, the larger uninformed lot work to distract them, grab power, land under all sorts of guises: political opposition, farmer-herder clashes, banditry, religion etc.

There are clusters of Africans who, because they are light-skinned, think themselves Arabs, some think themselves Jews, while others think themselves religiously saved or special, others think they are Europeans because they now have an accent and a foreign passport.

These identity crises are the things that undermine our self-actualisation and emancipation; and you cannot stop or fight against them because you didn't know it was a problem.

How then can we pursue Pan-Afri anim, African Emancipation, Black Excellence etc?

I believe that there is a massive need for these schools or curricula to be set up pan-Africa to educate us all and help us to spot manipulative gestures one mile away. We can also incorporate these studies in our secondary schools and up to University levels.

African Union can drive this initiative...oops, AU, like ECOWAS ìt is an interesting institution.🤣

Okay, let us all stylishly admit that while the "dividend buffs" fed off the GTCo table yesterday, we were a little jealous...I must the next dividend dinner.🙄😁🤔

Come to think of it, with all the reforms from the Soludo and Sanusi era of the CBN namely:

1 Refreshed prudential guidelines
2 Institution of Credit Bureaux
3 Purportedly solid governance protocols around bank lending
4 Improved Banking Technology
5 AMCON etc

Why do we still have these levels of NPL's and right-offs amongst our banks?

This actually points to something more serious.

It tells me that it is either the banks have not adopted strong governance mechanisms or that the business environment is so toxic that projections fall flat on the face of macroeconomic realities.

Credit monitoring is a major aspect of banking business globally and yhus must be taken seriously.

The CBN must take a second look at this. Raising capital now and again does not solve a foundational problem. This is because poor credit knowledge or bad credit behaviour will always erode capital, no matter how much capital you raise.

Many of our NGX pundits on this app have been very emotional about the UBA 2025 AFS, and that's very understandable.

Meanwhile of them have already gained on their holdings by a couple of X's oh.

Guys, what do you them say to me who bought UBA on Thursday last week at about N52?

We will weather the storm, together, I dare say, that's my sentiment.

At any point in time, their can always be that black swan event that can turn even a previously glittering performance into a sad story. That's the risk in investing in equities.

Be of good cheer, my friends🤔

To all who do rap music today, you must recognise and acknowledge the Godfather of Rap...the originator, U Roy!

He started it all around 1970. Acknowledge U Roy - (Ewart Beckford)

@MudiTheInvestor I have been able to place a successful buy order on stockbroker app, would you know why that is?

I placed with price limits of 10% maximum daily rise in prices for Access and UBA shares, yet they failed. Purchase didn't happen.

I could understand why my Zichis order failed...but the several banking orders? No.

I could also be doing it wrong my long hiatus from the market...😁just getting back in.

In Lagos, there's a toll gate in the local airport but none on the international wing. Why?

In Abuja, everyone pays. So,is the Lagos scenario a logistics or design problem?✈️

[Marovax2 @marovax2]

My political predictions around "freely cast" votes have been correct since 2015...

In 2023, in a Facebook post, I had⁶ accurately stated that if Kwankwaso led a ticket, it would flop badly. It did.
His influence was/is local; powerful, but local.

I had also said that Atiku had lost his shine, that oomf was gone. He had been too long on the shelf. He can no longer win country-wide election.

Bottomline is that Atiku should step down for Obi/Kwankwaso.

He has lost the national appeal. If he doesn't and goes on to emerge as ADC's flag bearer, the "ADC flower" will wither in his hands suddenly and the party will lose momentum.

The handwriting is on the wall.

@MTNNG The complaint is about PAYU data daily charge of N0.02. Guide me on how to exit that plan to avoid the charges.

I'm a bit uncomfortable sharing my phone number openly here.

Been trying to understand what MTN service I signed up for that makes them debit me everyday, and sometimes twice a day as shown below:

@MTNNG what's up?

Please stop this.

I thought Magodo was permanently on Band A. This whole Band A thing was pioneered here.

Tell me why I went visiting and I am seeing brand new generators here and generator noise is everywhere.¹llql1l

[Marovax2 @marovax2]

Hand-to-heart, can anyone satisfactorily make a case for Atiku's 2027 presidential bid?

I honestly don't know why he insists on running.

[Marovax2 @marovax2]

In all honesty, the courage of the drivers of the ADC party must be saluted.

This is because knowing full well that ALL the instruments to win the 2027 elections - INEC, the Judiciary, NASS, several opposition parties and platforms are firmly in the hands of the FG AKA Bola Tinubu; and still marching on, committing time and resources, shows exceptional grit, strength and belief in the will of the people.

Kudos, guys!

Okay, what eventually happened to the camcorder Fashola "discovered" at the Lekki Toll Gate right after ENDSARS, abi nothing dey inside?🤔

[Marovax2 @marovax2]

I recently left Aba after spending some time with family there.

During my travels within the state, I saw one of Alex Otti's smart schools in Old Umuahia axis. Nice! The school looked great.

I couldn't help but think about how inclusive the smart school programme is. I mean, there is a School For The Deaf and special Needs People right in the heart of Aba. From what I saw, the school needs help!

The worn-out sign post says it all...part of the inscription says... School For The Deaf and Mentally Ret**ded, language which I consider inappropriate and out of touch. A part of the school is overgrown with weeds.

The school straddles Azikiwe and Market Roads by East Street.

How inclusive are the various school initiatives as it concerns Special Needs persons? Mind you, that school appears to be pivotal to the wellbeing of these persons as they y also hold church services there.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

I hope our History, Government and Political Science teachers and lecturers are properly documenting the goings on in Nigerian political space today.

This because when all is said and done, Peter Obi's silent power be documented, known and studied by future scholars.

It's unfolding before us, with just one tweet, interview or show of generosity to schools and the government goes into a frenzy for days??? Common!🤔🤷‍♀️🥺

INEC Chairman, status quo ante bellum as interpreted by you should not have ended with the non-recognition of Davis Mark and his exco, the former party Chairman, Ralph Okey Nwosu and his team, should have been re-listed on your website.

Your actions have created a leadership gap in the ADC at the moment.

INEC vs ADC: Status Quo Ante Bellum Means Peaceful Period Before Controversy - Amupitan

The preservatory orders of the Court of Appeal on the ADC leadership case were clear: proceed with the case expeditiously, maintain status quo ante bellum, and refrain from actions that would foist a fait accompli on the trial court or render proceedings nugatory. After reviewing the pending motion at the Federal High Court, allowing INEC to monitor the David Mark-led ADC congress would breach the court's judgement. INEC hasn't taken sides; we considered complaints from both sides. Status quo ante bellum means the status before hostilities started. ADC's controversy started on 29 2025
