When agencies brief the Presidency with figures that collapse under basic arithmetic, and those figures appear in national newspapers as the foundation for policy, the signal to every investor watching is unmistakable. 7/8
Re: This thread.
What’s the President to do? You employ people you think are competent and they come to you with bogus, misleading, unverifiable data that has no basis in reality? What are you to do as President? There’s no way the President himself knows this data. Thats why you have seemingly competent people in those agencies and as minister. Now they are feeding you nonsense data and asking you to make policies based on those.
Do you then have to employ other set of people to verify the data presented by the first set of people? What if the second set of people also present nonsense data? Do you then employ a third set of people? At what point does it leave the area of practicality and starts looking like absurdity?

I read a report on @TheNationNews which suggests the Presidency has been briefed that ₦3trillion in capital leaves Nigeria annually through the airtime credit market. That figure deserves scrutiny, because the market itself is estimated at ₦300 to ₦400 billion per year. 1/8
Hypothetical situation:
Mr. A is walking on a lonely road in the afternoon. Skit-makers appeared disguised as bandits. Out of fear, Mr. A punched one of them in the temple, and the skit-maker died instantly.
What is the legal implication for Mr. A?
My first job after NYSC.
My project in school was about biometric systems. I got this job and was tasked with building a biometric system.
Since no one at the company had an idea how this works. I built it from scratch all by myself.
So many times, I slept in the office.
My salary was 40K naira.
Project was delivered and unfortunately for the owner I saw the cheque. It was 38 million naira.
I was expecting a raise. A bonus. Something. Anything.
I got nothing.
About a week later, I came into work and everyone was celebrating the boss’s brand new car.
That was my last day at work.
I got home packed my bags and left. Never looked back.
@dami_oj I remember @____abiodun____ did a thread sometimes ago. The bread and butter of it, if I remembered correctly is this: democracy (via elections) is not really power to the people.
“When you ask an agent to fix a bug, you can prove it worked. When you ask it for architectural advice, there's no signal. It might be brilliant or quietly wrong in a way you won't discover for months.”
Can you guys see how non of the pundits is going on and on about that appalling officiating on Saturday.
Westham had a goal disallowed and it was talked about for a week on all channels.
@arojinle1 Intelligence teaches restraint. But God forbid an intelligent man decide to chose violence. The brutality of it will be incomparable.
The movie law abiding citizen is a good example of what happens when an intelligent person chose violence.
