10 THINGS PRESIDENT TINUBU IS FIXING THAT PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS DIDNβT:
1. State Finances: Instead of bailouts and unpaid salaries, states now have significantly higher revenues and greater fiscal stability.
2. Consumer Credit: Through CREDICORP, Nigeria is building a structured credit culture, giving workers access to affordable financing and opening the door to broader financial inclusion.
3. State Police: A long-discussed security reform that previous administrations couldnβt advance is finally gaining traction.
4. Local Government Autonomy: For the first time, grassroots governance is being treated as a priority, bringing governance closer to the people.
5. Electricity Decentralization: States can now generate, transmit and distribute electricity, ending decades of excessive centralization.
6. NELFUND: Students from low-income families can now access tertiary education funding without the traditional financial barriers.
7. Tax Reform: The tax system is being simplified, reducing the burden on low-income earners while improving compliance and accountability.
8. ASUU Stability: For the first time in many years, Nigerian students are completing academic sessions without prolonged nationwide ASUU disruptions.
9. Mega Infrastructure Projects: The Sokoto-Badagry Super Highway, Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, and Lagos-Abuja Super Highway represent infrastructure ambitions on a scale rarely seen in Nigeriaβs history.
10. Food Inflation Reversal: Nigeria is witnessing a decline in food prices after a period of sharp increases; something many Nigerians thought would never happen once prices had risen.
Love him or hate him, these are major structural reforms and projects that previous administrations either could not or did not implement.

True patriotism is not just loving your country; it is standing firmly behind those who bleed to keep it safe.
We, patriotic and responsible citizens of this great republic, rise - as we always do - to acknowledge and applaud the valiant efforts of our security forces. Their courage is not celebrated enough. Their sacrifice is not rewarded enough.
Not every night ends in mourning. Some nights, the dawn comes armed. Let the wicked take note: Nigeria will not be swallowed.
Good Evening Severally.

As you step into the new year, remember the world is watching.
When you insult, curse or abuse people online, you are not proving strength or knowledge. Rather, you're creating a digital footprint as a toxic person who lacks emotionally intelligence
In todayβs AI-powered world, your CV is no longer just the document you carefully format for jobs or promotions. Your real CV is the digital footprint - the posts, comments and reactions you share - those are what algorithms can see, index, and infer about your judgment, temperament, and values.
Disagree if you must, but do so with facts. Challenge ideas, not people. Share perspectives that demonstrate depth, clarity, and respect. That is how credibility is built, influence is earned, and opportunities come your way.
Intelligence shows in how you disagree, not how loud you shout.
As you set your goals for the new year, be intentional about your digital footprint.

May this season renew our commitment to service, sacrifice, and kindness. And may we find the grace to be more selfless in our choices and actions.
Merry Christmas!
Don't let anyone manipulate you. Your bank account is safe.
Misinformation makes you panic and fear a reform that is designed to help you. When they tell you that your account will be frozen or automatically debited from January 2026, ask them for the evidence in the new law.
Be wise!

Some media reports claiming that I described the gazetted tax laws as "fake" are incorrect. My comment was specifically about a list of "alleged alterations" being circulated as the report of House of Representatives committee before the committee had even met.

Manipulation may travel fast but only the truth can go far.
I have a theory: Nigerian leaders struggle to handle complexity and anything with moving parts. We can pour concrete. Itβs pretty straightforward. I guess that is why people see roads being built and say that Governance is not rocket science. If roads are what they mean by governance, they would be right: itβs not rocket science.
When it comes to complexity, multiple components, or moving parts, our leaders tend to struggle. For instance, electricity involves generation, transmission, distribution, metering, billing and tariff management. Complexity. We donβt handle it well.
That is why, when a new governor succeeds one who has already poured concrete, they seem clueless about what to do next. Facilitating the economic activity that will make use of the roads and buildings is harder than pouring the concrete to build them. It requires brain power. Complexity hurts the brain. We donβt like it.
In countries like France, most politicians would be expected to have attended one of the governance schools if they want to seek high public office. In the UK, you would probably have studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford or Cambridge. In the USA, it would be usual for you to have attended an Ivy League university. Same as Japan and Singapore. In all these places, you would be exposed to complexity, innovation and problem-solving.
In Nigeria, all you need is to have completed a course of secondary education. Did you know that you actually donβt have to have a WAEC certificate? You just need to have finished secondary education, you donβt need to have passed WAEC or even NECO. Is it surprising the quality of leaders that we have?
It is not about having a PhD. Most Nigerian governors with PhDs have been thoroughly disappointing. It is more about being equipped with the skills and intellectual rigour to handle the complexity of governing others and making the best decisions on their behalf.
I would suggest that we upgrade the Public Service Institute of Nigeria and the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria into proper governance schools. We should then make
it mandatory that all politicians who want to occupy elective executive positions (like LGA Chairman, Speaker, Senate President, Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President or President) must attend and graduate from those institutions before they can even seek any elective public office at all.
Do you agree with my theory? If not, do you have a counter theory? If you agree, do you think that this would make any difference? If you think that it wonβt make any difference, what do you think would? #NaijaKnowledgeX
