@IkejaElectric Why have you decided to put Abule Ijesha, Yaba community in perpetual darkness since last week Thursday. This is a Band A & student dominated area. Are we still living in the stone age where electricity is a luxury?
@NERCNG

How can I explain how easy it is to get detached from reality when you are in a senior position in government, without appearing to excuse it?

First, you are so consumed about what is happening inside government that you don’t have time to think about what is happening outside government.

If you assume that senior government officials have time to follow Twitter trends, you are mistaken. Most have their social media accounts handled by aides who decide what to bring to their attention. Even what they decide to bring to your attention is heavily curated and coloured by their own interpretations.

Most government business is still handled through paper files. So, you spend HOURS each day treating files. Many are speculative proposals to do one thing or the other for you. You junk must of them. Some may be interesting and you ask that they are offered an appointment.

Then there are things you are asked to approve. You need to treat these with caution because an approval can land you in jail. You send for people and ask questions. You need to meet with others and triangulate what you’ve been told.

Then there are letters. You may get 300 every week. Only you can direct what the official response should be.

Then there are petitions. Nigerians are excellent petition writers. Many are frivolous but you will only know when you investigate. Investigating means meetings and files.

Then EFCC and ICPC may invite you about one frivolous petition or the other. When they kept inviting me monthly, I kukuma gave them an office with all our files to just check things by themselves, instead of going to their office monthly and spending the entire day each time, not knowing what you’ve been accused of this time.

Then visitors. If you run an open door policy there are tens of people waiting to see you everyday with one problem or the other. You may need to refer them to other people. There are people you must see. Abi if a Minister comes to see you or your Minister send someone to you, won’t you see them? Or someone is sent from the Villa. Or it’s the traditional ruler from your village or an old classmate, won’t you see him?

Then your boss or the SGF sending for you, sometimes several times a day.

Then events in the Villa, conferences, seminars and workshops and circulars say you must attend. Loads of them! If you don’t attend, rumours will start that you may have joined the opposition!

Then Committees that you are mandated to serve on. Load of them!

Then travels. Sometimes, your name is put in a list for some events that are nothing to do with you. You are asked to accompany your boss or to represent him and read a speech somewhere. If you have a Board, that is another level of complexity.

Every weekend, there is an event that you must attend. Loads of them! The President is launching something. Or somebody’s daughter is getting married.

Then there is the National Assembly. They will send for you or tell you they are coming to see you. You can’t refuse.

With everything I’ve said, I haven’t talked about the time to do the actual work o.

You may find time to read the papers or watch Network News but they never say what is going on in the minds of the public.

Of course, all the while, all your staff are telling you how wonderful you are and why you should ignore “noise makers.”

Before you know it, you are totally disconnected from reality. If you are lucky, you will have a wife or mother that will slap you occasionally and tell you that hat is going on in the real world. If they are the type that enjoy the trappings of power, forget it.

That is why you must make a deliberate effort to go to markets, enter taxis and Keke, queue in banks and public hospitals and ask people questions just to get a dose of reality.

Even explaining it, I don tire. End!

I disagree. Strongly. As I wrote in my in 202 article:

" The fastest blue-line path to a better world isn’t economic growth or a better phone, but more of us becoming irrationally passionate about the wellbeing of a child that isn’t our own’"

Can administrative corruption be stopped in Nigeria, this form is sold for ₦600 at the FRSC Office in Secretariat Ibadan. Does this money go into the government account

@FinMinNigeria @FRSCNigeria @fisayosoyombo

[Sunday Kolawole Sholanke @shoslad]

@ZenithBank congratulations on hosting your annual tech event, but I still don't understand why waste management and climate tech is not part of the major sectors. Nigeria is among the top 20 nations that contribute 83 per cent of total volume of land-based plastic waste.

Was there anything wrong with entrepreneurship in Africa before innovation hubs and modern entrepreneurship support organizations (VCs, Angel groups, etc) were introduced? If something was wrong, have the new models successfully fixed them? https://t.co/Las9keo1Ly
