Before it made sense, it required faith.
It wasn’t strategy. It was instruction.
It’s easy to discredit or downplay a vision that has come to pass.
But nothing was obvious to anyone then. Absolutely nothing.
That’s the power of faith. ✝️
As a Nigerian, I find it absurd that since 2022, Peter Obi has been the only major front-runner relentlessly grilled, constantly interviewed, and forced to engage the public at every turn. Meanwhile, Atiku and Tinubu seem to glide by without facing anything close to the same scrutiny. What exactly is going on here? Do they believe they are too important to be questioned, or are their supporters simply more comfortable shielding them from accountability and public scrutiny?
Nobody hears from the president, who sits on high Mount Olympus and only graces Nigerians with carefully scripted appearances and distant press statements from Bayo Onanuga, as though leadership is a privilege to be admired from afar rather than a responsibility to be constantly examined. Atiku is no different, equally distant, equally insulated, and just as unwilling to submit himself to the kind of sustained, unscripted engagement that true leadership demands.
My Prime Minister, Carney, faces the press almost daily and endures relentless grilling from the opposition in Parliament on virtually every issue. That is what accountability looks like in a functioning democracy.
Tinubu, on the other hand, answers to no one.

20 something year olds are joining mouth to say the benefits of the macroeconomic policies won’t show now but in kinikan years. Forgetting that the almost 40 year olds said the same thing about a decade ago while watching their futures get eaten up.
Out of all the amusing takes i see online. This particular one sends me the most. On one end personalities differ. If you choose to be quiet and conservative that’s fine. But competence has nothing to do with whether you’re loud or not.
There’s the subtle narrative Ive observed. Where it’s believed people who work behind the scenes of music. Whether as a stand alone service or part of a team. Should not be outspoken about the work they do. That in doing so you’re fighting for some imaginary spotlight.
There's another problem I'm seeing - Genuine contempt for the listener.
This music industry might be the only business where the primary objective isn't to serve the customer but to serve yourself and hope your customers enjoy your self-service.
