JUSTICE for Malam Nasir Ahmad El-rufai…

[Engr. Waziri (Abu_Noor) @sadeeq400]

@ishaqsamaila5 @daudazbah Amen. May the soul of 'General ' rest in peace

[Engr. Waziri (Abu_Noor) @sadeeq400]

@CaptJamyl That's more reason why Allah created us with two ears and one mouth. Even the one mouth is created with upper and lower gates (lips). Just saying....

This is what you get when you marry an educated and fearless woman. Mallam is truly blessed.

Dr. Aisha Ali-Gombe has secured yet another major grant as https://t.co/79HLIlnOoR awarded $1m to the LSU Cybersecurity Clinic under her leadership as Director. This adds to her previous $1.5m cybersecurity research and innovation grant by the NASA in the US. We’re proud of her.

POLITICAL PERSECUTION DISGUISED AS JUSTICE

Let’s be honest, this whole thing is looking suspicious. Going after Mallam Nasir @ElRufai with anonymous witnesses and secret testimony does not inspire confidence, it raises questions. If there is a genuine case, why all the secrecy?

This is why many people believe this is more political than legal. You cannot claim transparency while hiding witnesses from the public in a case involving a major political figure. It starts to look like an attempt to weaken or intimidate someone because of his political stance.

Love him or hate him, El-Rufai has been one of the few politicians who speaks his mind without fear. You may disagree with him, but using state institutions in a way that appears selective should concern everyone. Today it is him, tomorrow it could be anyone seen as inconvenient.

Justice is supposed to be open and fair, not something wrapped in secrecy. Nigerians are not fools, we can tell when something feels off. If there is evidence, bring it and let the court decide in the open.

This is bigger than El-Rufai. It is about protecting the rule of law and resisting any attempt to turn the justices system into a political weapon.

[Comrade Deji Adeyanju @adeyanjudeji]

As a fervent critic of ElRufai, I join the call for his release. Bail is not an escape of justice but an opportunity for the defendant to effectively defend himself.

I just want to imagine the reaction that would follow if, tomorrow, our northern institutions woke up and announced that any woman in a miniskirt, dressed half-naked, or without a hijab would not be allowed to write JAMB, WAEC, or NECO.

The national meltdown it would spark would be crazy.

But Muslim women in the South are not allowed to write JAMB because they are wearing the hijab, and these hypocrites are silent about it.

@EngineerAdam123 Malam Aminu Kano yace "Mu yan arewa shashashu ne, muki namu mu so na wani". This is just morethan what the eyes can see, its more of what the subconscious mind must admit. The top ranking characteristics of an ignorant person is 'denial'.

[Dr. Yakubu Sani Wudil @yakubwudil]

I would like to express my profound appreciation to all those who have celebrated this great milestone with us in one way or another.

May the knowledge acquired continue to be useful to humanity, Ameen…🌹

@BashirElRufai @southwesttimes Bello Dottijo...your level of professionalism in politics is indeed commendable.

NIGERIA UPDATE - Nigeria’s Growth Crisis Is a Talent-Allocation Crisis - by: Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai - 1st April, 2026 - Part 1

Nigeria is often described as a paradox. We are a nation of extraordinary human capital—energetic, inventive, resilient—yet our economic outcomes fall persistently short of our potential. Growth remains shallow, productivity weak, firms struggle to scale, and prosperity does not spread widely enough.

Today, I want to advance a clear and uncomfortable proposition:

Nigeria’s growth problem is not primarily a shortage of talent, capital, or ideas.
It is a problem of where our best talent goes—and why.

This is not a moral argument about individuals. It is a political-economy argument about incentives.

1. The Core Insight: Talent Follows Returns

Across societies and across history, highly capable people choose occupations that offer the highest returns to ability, especially where small differences in skill translate into large rewards. Economists describe this as increasing returns to talent.

When those returns are highest in entrepreneurship, innovation, and production, economies grow.
When those returns are highest in rent-seeking—activities that redistribute existing wealth rather than create new value—growth slows or stalls .

People do not wake up intending to harm their country. They respond rationally to incentives.

So the right question for Nigeria is not “Why are people corrupt?”
It is: “What activities does our system reward most handsomely?”

2. Nigeria’s Current Incentive Structure

Let us be honest about Nigeria’s reality.
•GDP growth was about 4.1% in 2024, respectable on paper but insufficient for a country with our demographics.
•GDP per capita remains around US$1,084, placing Nigeria among lower-income economies despite our scale.
•Informal employment accounts for roughly 93% of the labour force, meaning most firms are small, fragile, and defensive rather than scalable.
•Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio is only about 8.2%, one of the lowest in Africa—signalling weak fiscal capacity and heavy reliance on discretionary collection rather than broad, rule-based taxation.

These numbers are not abstract. They describe an economy where scale is risky, visibility attracts predation, and long-term investment struggles to compete with short-term access.

In such an environment, the most capable Nigerians often find that the fastest and safest returns come not from building large, productive enterprises—but from proximity to state power, regulatory discretion, political brokerage, or legal and administrative contestation.

This is exactly the mechanism identified in the economic literature: when the “market” for rent-seeking is large, talent flows there .

3. Why Rent-Seeking Damages Growth

Rent-seeking harms an economy in three cumulative ways.

First, it absorbs labour and capital without creating output. Resources are spent competing over existing wealth rather than expanding the economic frontier.

Second, it acts like a tax on productive activity. Businesses face delays, uncertainty, informal payments, and arbitrary enforcement—raising costs and discouraging investment.

Third—and most damaging—it diverts the very people who would otherwise be the most productive entrepreneurs and innovators.

When the brightest minds are pulled away from production, the quality of entrepreneurship falls, technological progress slows, and the economy’s long-run growth rate declines .

This is why rent-seeking does not merely lower income levels; it can permanently reduce growth.
