Nobody sets wages for artisans. They set their fees, you bargain and pay. You are the one who does not pay them well. You are the one who pays them what you think the skill they is worth in the market
There is no need to write an epistle. Start from your home. If I send my plumber to your house tomorrow and he fixes your tap, pay him 40k or Start by paying him 5k per hour.
You shouldn’t be using your company handle to tweet this, haha. Again, you don’t know what you’re doing, just like you don’t know what you’re doing as a social media handler.
We're alot on that table tbh, the realization always hits hard. Peter Obi is not 5% what we made him in 2022 and now, the people that created the psyop cant believe people are waking up
Economics will struggle to have their “ICAN” equivalent, because it is too subjective to have a consensus on ideas.
Two chartered accountants would agree on how to prepare a balance sheet.
Two qualified economists would have opposing views on monetary policy and interest rates.
Tunde can’t honor a presidential invitation. Olamide can’t support APC. RCCG can’t exist without conspiracy theories. Ojúde Ọba can’t be celebrated without bitterness. A Yorùbá billionaire can’t ride a bike in Eko Atlantic without outrage.
Every time Yorùbá people gather, build, celebrate, succeed, or simply occupy their own spaces, there’s always a section of people determined to turn it into a problem.
At some point, you have to stop pretending it’s about politics, religion, or principles. The pattern is too obvious.
The issue is not the individuals. The issue is that some people cannot stand seeing Yorùbá people existing confidently, thriving openly, and enjoying what we have built without seeking anyone’s permission.
Enough already.

LGA FUNCTIONS ACCORDING TO 1999 CONSTITUTION:
I am beginning to see that there's really nothing wrong with 1999 Constitution, it only needs continuous amendment just like any other Constitution Worldwide.....
Under the Fourth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, these essential grassroots infrastructure, municipal services, and public utility tasks are constitutionally designated to the third tier of government to ensure grassroots development. Let's try to pick them one by one:
"Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lighting, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such other public facilities as may be prescribed by the State House of Assembly."
SUMMARY:
1. Infrastructure Development: Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lighting, and drains.
2. Public Highways: Maintenance of public highways and community streets.
3. Recreation & Spaces: Provision and upkeep of parks, gardens, and open spaces.
4. State Prescribed Functions: Any other public facility or service as may be legally prescribed from time to time by the State House of Assembly.
Question: Having received average of N15 Billion by your LGA in the past 34 months, some have received N30 billion, some N60 Billion etc, are there Construction of Roads in your LGA as we speak between May 29 2023 and NOW?
Are there Maintenance of roads by the LGA?
Have they embarked on street lighting in your LGA?
Have they created parks, gardens, open spaces or any other public facilities in your LGA?
So, what have they done with the BILLIONS?

Do you know why people hardly call out their state governors on social media, no matter how poorly the governor perform? Because governors are closer to you. Some of their appointees are your mutuals to whom you owe that silence. And when governors share money, oma n lor far! 😁
At my direction, following the visit of a high-level Federal Government delegation that I sent to the Esiele and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, I have approved the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards in collaboration with the Oyo State Government.
RENTIER CAPITALISM
Our economy was never designed to allow a trickle down distribution of wealth even if $1 is made 50kobo and no president can undo this soon. In a rent taking economy, energy and capital are spent by manipulating the system rather than producing value.
Occupational Licensing is an example of rentier capitalism: NBA, NMA, ICAN, COREN, NURSING COUNCIL, CIPM etc. Govt don't take the fees and dues.
As a tomatoes farmer, you cannot sell your tomatoes directly at Mile 12. Some estate dues are 10 times higher than the taxes and land use charge we pay to govt. Landlords do their own, agents do their own. Digital platforms and tech monopoly are currently the biggest cartel and rent seekers!
Stock market is surging!
Money market is surging! Season of the rent seekers: middle class and middle men, sailing against prevailing favorable macroeconomic wind. Otedola and Dangote aren't the ones buying into apartments and shortlets boom. Its the middle class rent takers! This first revolution needed in Nigeria is a market revolution.
