My public response to Federal Ministry of Finance Economic Policy Framework Consultation paper. Let me have my say before the law prohibiting changes is passed.
I admire Sowore. Of course he has his failings but refusing to join the mainstream and do any open deals with the devils shows some character. I don’t know if those are real or manufactured but a person and his party must stand for something. Integrity starts from principles.
And we need political leaders beholden only to Nigerians and not to tribe or party or cult or other countries or international community. Willing to do what is right.
If i were advising a candidate, i will tell him to forget the long list of priorities and agenda - every one has them. Rather plan to measure and manage within the first year.

Between winning the election and being confronted with the reality of governing where all institutions and administrative capacity has been gutted is why a Governor should hurry to re-create institutions and rebuild administrative capacity first but then project project
What exact artifact does the BVAS create that a candidate can legally obtain and tender as the “record of accredited voters” without tendering the physical BVAS itself? @inecnigeria @EUinNigeria @YIAGA @mundx_analytics
And that is how construction grows the economy
2,157 homes handed over in Eldoret, Kenya, and not one door or window was imported.....
The Pioneer estate (15 blocks of 14 floors, a KSh5.37bn contract) used 97% Kenyan-made materials; more than 50 Jua Kali artisan groups supplied 2,272 steel doors and 6,486 windows, and only the lifts came from abroad.
In my opinion, that's the part we should copy: a housing programme that also builds local industry, instead of shipping the money out in containers.
If we built 2,000 homes in Lagos tomorrow, how much of it do you think could be made in Nigeria?
The greatest achievement any governor will leave for his state is a functioning administrative state with the capacity to identify, characterize , propose and execute solutions to problems. Institutions with capacity.
Fix your systems
The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

For me to take your promises as a politician serious, you need to show me what problem it is solving and why that is the best way to solve it and why you have not demonstrated it all these while.
I tried so hard to order an item from @JumiaNigeria. I will order, wait a few days, get notification of delivery, contact delivery number, then Jumia sends a mail saying they are unable to reach me. I’ve just spoken with a seller on Jiji today and delivery is on its way today.
Turn by turn leadership doesn’t appeal to me. When it is our turn, out of 80m people barely 1000 will have any benefit. What’s the point? Even that 1000 will be discarded in the next turn.
I think our countries should stop chasing the fantasy of development and focus on the reality of first creating and supporting a working society. What is the point of an economic powerhouse peopled by thieves and brigands?
Is there a law against any state building reserves for emergency or future use? - savings, food, medicine, fuel?
Fraud , 419 and yahoo has seeped deeply into Nigerians, so much so that we regard elections and campaigns as just another scam. Oga, your scam gang win or not win, you will be going to the same market and paying the same ransom.
These politicians should revise their language? How do you deliver people? Like slaves to a slave ship? Just corral them and deliver to the slave trader and collect your commission? What do you mean a - deliver? Is it a pregnancy?
How does a Governor deliver his state to a President when the President’s policies are scorching the earth? Buy it? Enslave the people? Make commitments on behalf of the President? Or is it just rigging?
