Tinubu dey burst my head this morning and I'm blushing. I no dey support dullard 😍

💬 "A citizen that pays taxes is a citizen. If you are not a taxpayer, and not exempted, then you are not a citizen."

🇳🇬 With that uncompromising definition, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, redefined the social contract from the main stage of the Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali.

⚖️ The President spoke as a man who knows the file intimately. He had personally driven tax reform as Governor of Lagos State, transforming what was then a fiscally fragile sub-national into Nigeria's most autonomous fiscal jurisdiction. The architect of his current federal tax reform, Finance Minister Wale Edun, was sitting in the front row, the very person whose work has reshaped Nigeria's revenue architecture over the past three years.

🎯 Tinubu's argument was disarmingly direct. Nobody, anywhere in the world, wakes up wanting to pay taxes. Taxation is not friendly to the wealthy, to the middle class, or to the poor. And yet every citizen expects roads, hospitals, schools, pharmaceutical research, protection of the vulnerable and the country's children. The question that demanding citizens almost never answer, he noted with sharp irony, is the most basic one: who pays for it? You want a fine highway, but not through your land. You want a well-equipped hospital, but no taxes. The maths does not work, anywhere on earth.

📜 The historical wink was telling. His American interlocutor's ancestors, he reminded the room, famously threw the tea into the sea when they were taxed without representation. The lesson, in Tinubu's reading, is not that taxation is dangerous, it is that taxation creates demanding citizens. And demanding citizens, far from being a problem, are precisely what builds accountable states. The Covid-19 pandemic underscored just how strategic domestic fiscal capacity becomes when the world stops being predictable.

🌍 The deeper message lands squarely on the African Ownership agenda Kigali has been amplifying all week. Pan-African capitalism cannot be financed indefinitely from external loans, declining aid, or volatile commodity rents. It will be financed by African citizens, African corporations and African tax systems that have the political legitimacy to function. The unlock is fiscal sovereignty, and fiscal sovereignty starts with taxation.

🇷🇼 The question Kigali is putting on the table this week is no longer whether African states need to raise more revenue domestically. It is whether they will dare to ask their citizens to fund the future they say they want.

I remember last year when I rode to Yenagoa, this area was mostly swamp and thick bush. Almost like a place still waiting for its story to begin.
But this year, I came back with my camera and what I saw was something completely different.
I am glad I documented the progress of the New Yenagoa City, the remarkable transformation. Roads now cut through what used to be waterlogged terrain, opening up the space and giving it structure, direction, and life. What was once difficult to access is now becoming a connected, evolving urban landscape.
You can literally see the vision taking shape.
Bayelsa is no longer just potential, it is becoming opportunity. The kind of place investors should start paying attention to. The foundation is being laid, and it’s solid.
Credit to the Bayelsa State Government for driving this vision, and to @lubrikconstruction for delivering solid road infrastructure that speaks for itself.
This is what progress looks like, real, visible, and impactful.

Emotional letter to President Tinubu.

Dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR
I'm writing this letter to you, first to thank you for your vision and secondly to ask for your forgiveness. I was about writing my finals when you were running for the highest seat in the land. The elderly ones around us told us many bad stories about you which we later found out to be false. Then, when the election was very close, I fervently prayed to God not to allow you to win. God didn't answer that prayer because He knew I was very ignorant of the message He sent you.
I had thought I wouldn't go to the university because I had no one to sponsor me. I had thought I would go and learn any trade that wouldn't require much to register for. It was my friend who told me about your Student Loan. Initially I thought it was not real until a benefiary, the son of our gateman in school confirmed it. I therefore quickly obtained a UTME form and with strong determination, I got admission to a University in the south.
Sooner I'm going to graduate as a civil engineer. My dream of working with Julius Berger is not dead. I might even float a construction company of my own later. I cannot thank you enough, your Excellency.
Forgive me too for doubting your ability in the beginning. It is God that ordained you as a Nigerian king. If my ten fingers and my ten toes are permitted for voting, you would have my twenty votes.
Yours faithfully
Bode Ayoola.

Dear President Tinubu @officialABAT

During the 8 years of President Buhari's administration, I received only “one promotion” through the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC). They cited no vacancies at my grade level from my zone (Oyo State, Southwest) due to the “federal character” principle, which limited opportunities for people from my region.

Even in the final year of Buhari's tenure, under FCSC Chairman Ingawa, no new entrance recruitments took place in 2022/2023.

In contrast, during President Goodluck Jonathan's (GEJ) administration, I was successfully recruited into the FCSC. However, for a full “4 years”, the Director of Recruitment, Mr. Bassey, delayed issuing our permanent confirmation letters, particularly affecting those from the Southwest who faced marginalization.

Despite this, Yorubas (including myself) endured the unfair treatment without public complaints. This happened even after we successfully passed the compulsory “COMPRO ”entrance examination at the FRSC Headquarters in Kubwa, Abuja and waited 4yrs to recieve our permanent offer letter.

For me personally, supporting President Tinubu's mandate is rooted in principles of justice, equity, and fairness not any form of financial inducement or personal gain.

Under the current President Tinubu administration, significant civil service reforms are underway, led by Prof. Tunji Olaopa @OlaopaTunji as Chairman of the FCSC in Abuja. These include ongoing promotions, active recruitments recently, and other progressive changes aimed at modernizing and ensuring greater transparency in the system (such as the shift to computer-based tests for promotions and efforts to uphold merit alongside federal character).

This is why Tinubu's mandate feels deeply PERSONAL to me, it represents the hope for genuine fairness and equity that I and many others from marginalized zones have long awaited.

I pray God grants you more wisdom and good health to pursue all your Renewed Hope Agenda and Reforms 🙏
@NGRPresident @NigeriaGov @renoomokri

Yours Sincerely,
Dr A Bolade ( AbbeyGovernor)
