Being a role model without evidence is hard , when they see a MSc holder Egbon Adugbo driving a Corolla 2004 model( the privileged one) and a Tunde waya driving the latest 4matic , it’s difficult to convince them

I went to a party 2 months ago, and a lady wanted to give me a pack of salt, sugar, 2kg of packed semo, and all sorts as souvenirs. I told her to give one of the boys serving drinks. She insisted that the gift is for guests with Aso Ebi.

In my mind, I was like, what the hell do you think I need this for in my house? If I can pay 100k for your aso ebi, why do you think I need salt, sugar, and some plastic bowls. Some people in the Aso Ebi were actually rushing the lady for the items.

There is poverty, and there is poverty mentality. The obsession with and the desire for free things even when we are not in dire need.

@Lamataonline @Lamataonline it's only a matter of time before some real damage is done to the blue line. The way the crowd rush into the train at peak hours is crazy. There should be some form of crowd control to avoid this. Cc: @Mr_JAGs

you don’t fix the declining birth rate with subsidies or financial incentives.

the “kids are too expensive” argument is a convenient cope. people claiming they can’t afford children are usually rationalizing deeper issues: they just don’t want them. having children is as expensive as you choose to make it, and for all of human history, people with far fewer resources managed to raise families.

the problem isn’t financial; it’s cultural.

we live in a society that has systematically psyopped and brainwashed people into believing children are a burden, not a blessing. women are told that motherhood is a sacrifice and a hindrance to their career, as if chasing corporate promotions or vanity metrics is more meaningful than creating life.
men are infantilized and taught to fear responsibility. worst of all, we’ve cultivated a nihilistic worldview that makes people see no point in building a future.

the solution starts with changing the culture.

we need to instill pride in people: pride in their ancestry, their legacy, and the future they could create. optimism about what’s to come has to replace the relentless doomscrolling of modernity.
kids aren’t just an "expense"; they’re the greatest investment a human can make, and we need to start celebrating that.

in the short term, the most realistic strategy is doubling down on those who already value family. focus on motivating families with 2-3 kids to have one or two more.
it's much easier to expand a family than to convince couples to start from scratch when they've been ideologically poisoned against the idea.

finally, we need to stop glorifying the miserable, atomized single life and the media narratives that turn parenthood into a joke or tragedy.
yes, parenting is hard, but everything worth doing is.
the joy and purpose it gives far outweigh the sacrifices. once we get that cultural shift rolling, the financial complaints will fade away like the convenient excuses they always were

@Benn_X1 This is absolutely spot on✅

[Ben X @Benn_X1]

So instead of accepting an unpaid internship as your first job, something inside your head makes you believe you are at the same level with an engineer at Google and you deserve better.

This arrogance is mistaken for knowing your worth. But what exactly is your worth?

[Ben X @Benn_X1]

What is your secret?

Me: I realised early in life that fake life does not pay. So I started telling myself the truth.
The best way to motivate yourself is to accept yourself for who you are.
Now that you know who you truly are, it is easier to become who you want to be.

[Kelvin. @realkelvin07]

You know me I always come with receipts:

This is where $975m of scarce FX are going to for vessels arriving within 42-days. NNPC and marketers are landing 1.5m metric tonnes of pms (whose quality cannot be verified because the regulator outsources testing of product at ports to unknown third parties against the schedule in its gazette).

NNPC alone is importing 687,721 metric tonnes that is the equivalent of 922m liters or $447m worth of pms. The marketers are importing 812k metric tonnes or the equivalent of 1bn liters that is worth $528m. Total between the both of them is $975m for 42-days landing or 30days of consumption (according to the phantom consumption numbers of NNPCL)

Since you’ve a refinery in Lagos that is currently producing 32m liters per day and has refined pms in his tanks, doesn’t it make sense to retain that FX here? The $447m NNPC trading is importing is either going to be financed through trade finance from a multi-lateral development bank or a commercial bank with crude oil feedstock from the crude intervention stock of 445k barrels used as collateral, or directly with an international oil trader with the same intervention stock used as collateral.

That’s the same crude oil NNPC would have given to Dangote to refine (with proceed of sales remitted to federation account less JV cash calls, statutory remittance to Frontier Basin Fund and Management Fee for NNPC) as a means to raise revenue to GDP and reduce deficit financing or the need for Wale Edun to raise another $1.7bn in Eurobonds at coupon yields at over 10% (for financing deficit in the 2024 budget)

As a matter of fact, the law even states in 317(7-8) of the PIA that where the domestic refiner has proven to have output that’s equivalent to daily consumption, the regulator is to stop issuing import licenses to bring in PMS. You see why I said the CBN doesn’t have net external reserves, and explains the reason Mr. President is courting Bin Salman to advance him $5bn in trade finance loan to settle transactions like this.
