The Nigerian government has done something impressive. They have convinced millions of people that struggling to eat, struggling to pay rent and struggling to survive is a personal failure instead of an economic one. That's genius.

One year ago, Fulani Islamic terrorists stormed Yelwata, Nigeria, slaughtering more than 200 Christians. Most were women and children sheltering at a local Catholic mission. Today, we remember the martyrs. The world must not forget the Christian genocide in Nigeria.

Gabriele being world class is just the figment of the wild imagination of typical Arsenal fans. Never seen him put up a world class performance, coupled with that double DM bunker Arteta builds to cover his overweight CBs.

Morocco will definitely outclass Brazil in this match.

The South East Venture Capital Program, led by Mark Okoye, the Managing Director of SEDC, did not invite BUA, did not invite Tony Elumelu, and did not invite Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Instead, Okezie and Lawrence were invited as VIPs. For a program that is supposed to inspire entrepreneurship, attract investment, and expose young people to proven success stories, that choice is difficult to understand. The South East is overflowing with talent and ambition, yet opportunities like this are squandered on political optics rather than bringing in people who have built businesses, created jobs, and transformed economies. Such a waste of young talent.

This is actually the critical part. How can you have these exotic cars and the mechanic for them needs 3k transport to come for servicing?

In 2012, when I started farming in Kuje Area Council-Abuja, cashew trees were everywhere. Many local landowners planted them as economic trees—not necessarily for commercial production, but because they increased the perceived value of their land. By 2013, the cashew industry had become a thriving rural economy. During harvest season, heavy-duty trucks lined up at Tipper Garage Junction in Kuje, buying cashew kernels for Nuts processing. Farmers earned and the entire communities benefited from the value chain. The boom continued through 2014, 2015, and 2016. Then greed quietly replaced sustainability. Instead of allowing the fruits to mature naturally, many people began harvesting prematurely to extract kernels early. The result was predictable: immature kernels flooded the market, quality dropped, and buyers began rejecting consignments. By 2018, something even more alarming happened. Many of the cashew trees simply refused to fruit. In 2019 and 2020, some produced while others remained barren. By 2021, large numbers of trees appeared diseased and failed to fruit. Today, the trucks are gone. The once-thriving cashew economy has largely disappeared. The trees remain, but many no longer produce. What is most disturbing is that nobody seems to know why. Nigeria has numerous institutions with mandates that should cover issues like this: • Seed Council of Nigeria • Forestry Departments and Agencies • Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development • Research Institutes and Extension Services Yet there appears to be little or no publicly available data explaining what happened to the Kuje cashew ecosystem. A nation that does not invest in research is condemned to repeat its mistakes. We spend billions discussing agriculture, but when an entire economic ecosystem collapses, nobody can explain the cause, measure the impact, or propose a recovery strategy. Agriculture is not sustained by speeches and conferences. It is sustained by data, research, and institutional memory. Until we take research seriously, we will continue harvesting from nature without understanding the consequences—and acting surprised when nature stops giving back.

Apart from the fact that most of these stadiums aren't world class, it is that in this new format of a 48-team tournament, most of the cities here do not have the hospitality capacity to host world cup matches. It's not just the stadium that qualifies for, you need the hotels.

I don't think there is anyone with grey matter who believes this guy. How to know his subscription has expired is when he starts tweeting like a person with Bipolar disorder. Once he starts being critical or objective about the APC, just know he is waving his flag for a refill.

Henry Seriake Dickson has been one of the biggest surprises in the Tinubu bulldog era. In an era when many Nigerian politicians seem eager to align themselves with the president, Dickson appears to be standing his ground. Not necessarily because he is certain to prevail, but because he seems to be acting on principle. He is certainly one politician to watch, provided, of course, that he remains consistent.

The Senate, @NGRSenate has passed the UBEC Amendment Bill, raising education funding from 2% to 5% of the Consolidated Revenue Fund and expanding free, compulsory education to Senior Secondary School. The next step is harmonisation with the HOR and presidential assent. The promise is kept, but the work is not done yet. #FollowTheAgenda #KeepPromises

what's the market size of chocolate and butter in Nigeria? Even in Africa as a whole? What's the chocolate consumption per capita here. The truth is that, there's simply no market for chocolate here. Economic nationalists always get it wrong.

One of his problems is the belief in the abundance of freebies for everything. It was the reason why 35% of the polling units were not manned in the last election. In places where people voted for him, his votes were discounted. I doubt if he has learnt anything from that.

We have de-intellectualized Nigerian politics so that many of your major political parties don't have policy and research wings, and yet they are responsible for making policies. — Brian Kagoro, lawyer. #June12

Your policy focused on building your macros to enable you look attractive for more loans, so that you could have more to share amongst the political class. If this isn't, why has it taken three years for this not to transmit to the micros?
