NIGERIA: Possible Strategies President Tinubu Is Using To Pocket The Country As He Did Lagos

Image source: The Southern Examiner I visited Festac Town Lagos in 2006 when Tinubu held sway as the state governor. One thing I noticed without anyone telling me was this high austerity level in the air - which contrasted sharply with my experiences in a couple other parts of the country. When I asked, I was told that the 3D suffering levels were as a result of The Obasanjo Federal Government withholding the allocation due to the state. I couldn't understand it because I always knew Lagos as a mega state with such a humongous IGR that it could function beyond average even without any federal allocation. It took me over a decade before I realized what the man was actually doing then under the noses of millions of citizens. I remembered to revisit this issue because I see now a reenactment of what happened in Lagos in those days. The only difference I see is that then, it happened at a state level but now it is happening at the national level. Here are some of the strate...

How To Handle Your Haters: A Lesson From Bill Gates And His Daughter (2)

Bill and Phoebe Gates. Image credit: Business Insider Do you know what? I learned that, growing up, Bill Gates was too small for his age and was often bullied at school and on the streets. As a result, he had very few friends - no more than two per time. As related in the archives , young Bill was a recluse who spent hours cocooned in his room. Once, during such a social withdrawal, his mom asked after him over the intercom, and Bill shouted back, “ I'm thinking… Have you ever tried thinking? ” The fact is: Young Bill Gates didn't have many friends. Unknown to him, many of his peers snubbed him because a rumor spread around town that “ Bill is the weirdest guy that God ever made ”. As acknowledged by Washington Post's Mark Leibovich, the real issue was that the boy Bill Gates III was an infant prodigy. As a result, he just couldn't get along with most of his peers and vice versa. But, it hardly became an issue to him because his attention was essentially somewhere else....

Another Blow On Igbo-Yoruba Rivalry

Chauvinism is the big dent on Africa One day, some generations of Africans will remember that it was decades of unhealthy rivalry among their ancestors that made them lose their place in the committee of humans. Unfortunately, those "ancestors" will point back to you and me. This must happen unless today's generation of Africans take the bull by the horns and walk the uncommon road. For example, they must look each other in the face and decide to unite, form a common front and fight their common enemies. The Famous Igbo-Yoruba Rivalry As A Case In Point Recently, many Nigerians of goodwill genuinely mourned the passing of one of the few icons ever thrown up from the Nigerian political space. His name? Professor Humphrey Nwosu. Late Prof. Humphrey Nwosu. Image credit: USAfricaonline.com What makes Late Professor Humphrey Nwosu so iconic? It is the historical fact that he defied a military junta and insisted on letting basic democratic procedures be followed. So, he announc...

VDJ: A Relatively Easy Way To Make A New Year Resolution That Ends Up With A Fulfilling Year Right From The Start

I came to realize this: Many of those who say that new year resolutions don't work are only using a gaslighting tactic called "sour grapes". "Sour grapes" is a phrase coined from Aesop's fable, where a fox decides that grapes are probably sour anyway, after failing to reach them. This idiom describes someone who disparages something they cannot have or achieve. In other cases, I found such statements thoroughly defeatist. Defeatism refers to a mindset where someone assumes that a task or goal is impossible to achieve, often due to their own lack of ability or experience. Otherwise, every new year eve provides an ample opportunity for every person or brand to look back at the dying year and take stock. The aim of such stock-taking is to embark on self-evaluation, review your achievements and mistakes for the year and forge a formidable new beginning, insisting that " the end of this new year must see me much more fulfilled than I am now ". When you...
