A strange thing is happening in Nigeria.

A young man spends 20 years climbing the educational ladder.

6 years in primary school.
6 years in secondary school.
4 to 6 years in university.
1 year of NYSC.

By the time he is done, he has invested roughly 6,500 to 7,000 days preparing for life.

Then life arrives and asks a simple question:

“What problem can you solve?”

Silence.

Not because he is unintelligent.

Not because he is lazy.

But because somewhere along the journey, we confused education with certification.

We taught people how to pass exams, not how to create value.

Think about it.

An electrician who never attended university can walk into a building worth N500 million and confidently power every room from the foundation to the penthouse.

A graduate with multiple certificates may stand beside him unable to identify which wire powers the building.

One has credentials.

The other has capability.

The market pays for capability.

That is why reality often delivers a rude mathematical lesson.

If a graduate earns N100,000 monthly, that is N1.2 million annually.

A skilled technician charging N40,000 per job and handling just two jobs weekly earns over N4 million yearly.

Same country.

Different skills.

Different outcomes.

The tragedy is not that one earns more than the other.

The tragedy is that we keep preparing millions of young people for a race that no longer exists.

We celebrate admission lists like victory trophies.

We celebrate graduation photos like guaranteed employment letters.

Then we act surprised when hundreds of applicants compete for one vacancy.

Imagine 1,000 people chasing 10 jobs.

Basic mathematics says 990 people will be disappointed.

No motivational speaker can negotiate with arithmetic.

Yet we continue producing graduates faster than we produce opportunities.

That is like manufacturing keys without building doors.

The painful irony?

The people we once looked down on are increasingly becoming the people we depend on.

When your transformer fails at midnight, you do not call a philosophy graduate.

When your water stops running, you do not search for a political scientist.

When your air conditioner breaks in April heat, theory suddenly becomes less important than technical competence.

The economy has a brutal honesty.

It rewards usefulness more than status.

Nations that understood this long ago built prosperity differently.

They stopped asking only, “How many graduates do we have?”

They started asking, “How many builders, technicians, machinists, coders, welders, mechanics and innovators can we produce?”

There is dignity in intellectual work.

There is dignity in skilled labour.

The mistake is ranking one above the other.

A society that worships certificates while neglecting competence eventually discovers that framed documents cannot build roads, repair machines, wire factories, manufacture products or create wealth.

The future belongs to people who can solve problems.

Whether they learned it in a lecture hall, a workshop, an apprenticeship centre or under a mango tree is secondary.

Because at the end of the day, the market does not award marks.

It awards value.

And value has never asked to see anybody’s certificate before writing the cheque.

May Nigeria win 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Wallahi, if this had happened in the South and the APC had arrested someone like Nasir El-Rufai, they would have flooded the streets with protests until he was released.

The man they are calling a scammer and accusing of creating a fake agency has been seen all over with them.

The APC clearly has no regard for the intelligence of Nigerians.

BREAKING: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar lambasted President Bola Tinubu for spending N8.8 trillion outside Nigeria’s official budget, citing findings from the IMF’s latest Article IV consultation, as reported by Reuters.

In a lengthy statement, Atiku said the IMF report indicated that public expenditures equivalent to about 2 percent of Nigeria’s GDP, estimated at roughly N8.8 trillion, were not captured in recent federal budgets. He alleged the funds were spent outside the statutory budget framework, without legislative oversight or public accountability.

The former presidential candidate also alleged that N800 billion was unlawfully deducted from state government allocations, claiming the funds could be be used to finance political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Atiku called on the National Assembly, the Auditor General, anti corruption agencies, civil society organisations, and the Federal Government to investigate the allegations, conduct an independent audit, publicly account for all off budget expenditures, and restore any unlawfully withheld funds to the states. He described the matter as a constitutional emergency requiring urgent national attention.

ON SECURITY

Official records from the military indicates that the Nigeria Army has conducted 14,221 operations in the last six months alone. An average of 2,300 operations per month and 79 per day!!

In that period

- Over 1,500 terrorists have been neutralized
- ⁠Over 1,500 hostages rescued

These numbers are different from records from the Nigeria Police, DSS, Civil Defense and Others whose achievements have also been summarized below.

Atiku asks EFCC, ICPC to probe IMF's claim of Nigeria spending 'N8.8trn' off-budget

Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to probe the allegation that Nigeria omitted public spending worth 2 percent of gross domestic production (GDP) from recent budgets.

Christian Ebeke, the resident representative of International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Nigeria, made the allegation on Wednesday, adding that the discrepancy means Nigeria’s fiscal deficit appears smaller than the government’s actual borrowing needs.

Dear @OladepoTaiwo15,

Thank you for your feedback. Do you know how ignorant what you just said is? And that is why it is so easy to manipulate the average Nigerian. You do not know and you do not know that you do not know! .

Look, assume I am a liar and research your statement. If what you said is true, come back here with the proof, and I make a vow to make you the first Nigerian to receive NLC's ₦494,000 minimum wage from my own pocket.

You do not know. And instead of you to learn, you spread the ignorance that has been used to manipulate you. The National Assembly bought the 400 SUVs. All Senators supported the motion, including Labour Senators. They have their own budget. The budget is NOT subject to the approval of the Executive and the President.

That is why when a President does not like a Senate President, he cannot even remove him. It is called Separation of Powers. Buhari had to endure then Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Please, Oladepo, learn. Get the Constitution and read it. Read. You will not die!

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

[Reno Omokri @renoomokri]

Use your heads. President Tinubu CANNOT dictate the salaries of Senators or Representatives. They are a separate, independent and self-financing arm of government. They can even impeach the President. The President cannot even determine Judges salary. If the NLC is not happy with their pay, then they should face them. They should not make the rest of us pay for their beef with Senators or the National Assembly. Ask for something reasonable, like ₦75,000, and almost 100% of the populace will support you.

*PRESS RELEASE: BICHI EMIRATE*

Appreciation to the Judiciary and Security Agencies.

The First Class Emirate, of Bichi, wish to express our deepest appreciation to the judiciary and security agencies for their steadfast commitment to upholding the constitution and the rule of law.

We commend the judiciary for their courageous interpretation of the constitution, which has ensured that the principles of democracy and separation of powers are respected in Kano State. You have indeed demonstrated a strong commitment to justice and the protection of the rights of all citizens, and we are grateful for your service.

We also appreciate the security agencies for their professionalism and dedication to maintaining peace and order in the state, despite the challenges posed by the recent political developments. Your tireless efforts have ensured that our people can live in peace and security, and we are deeply grateful for your sacrifices.

We are grateful for the independence and impartiality displayed by the judiciary and security agencies, which has helped to strengthen our democracy and ensure that the rights and dignity of all citizens are protected.
The people and indeed leaders of the Bichi Emirates have endured the onslaught on their rights to this Emirate, and the actions of the judiciary and security agencies have averted the breakdown of law and order in Bichi Emirates in particular and by extension the other four Emirates.
There is no gainsaying that all the Emirates have witnessed tremendous progress in infrastructural and socioeconomic development in the last eight years and upon no fault of any of the emirs these unpopular decisions were taken by the State Assembly and the executive arms of the Government of Kano State.

All these have demonstrated that President Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu is a Democrat who believes in justice and fairness and a statesman who believes in a better and renewed Nigeria.

Thank you all for your service and commitment to the people of Kano State and Nigerians as a whole. We look forward to continuing to work with you to build a better future for our people and our country, Nigeria.
