On NIPOST Not a popular opinion but I don’t believe that Govt. should run NIPOST. It should be sold (privatized as we call it here), with Fed retaining a minority stake in it; if at all. Same goes for a number of our govt. owned enterprises. The business of govt. is in helping businesses run, not in running businesses. If acquired and led by an experienced logistics management team, with an injection of equity, NIPOST in 5yrs, can rival DHL, Fedex, GIG and any other major logistics company in Nigeria. And then expand to selected African countries where logistics services are in dire need, and then the rest of the world. In 10 years, Nigerians abroad will receive and send goods back & forth via NIPOST. After that, it can list on NGX for Nigerians to own a part of it. I have many case studies of what small scale manufacturers go through to ship products out of Nigeria/African. For example example, as our African fashion started to gain attention globally, the cost of shipping them out of Nigeria/Africa became a huge burden for designers. Same with arts. But for global streaming platforms (not built by us), Afrobeats & Nollywood would have lacked export channels. Unfortunately, no matter how smart an appointed person is, as long as government is involved and it’s primarily run by ma y people you can’t get fired for not meeting KPIs, it won’t achieve its full potential. I am hoping to be wrong in a few years. Royal Mail carries the British crown 👑 as its logo, but doesn’t belong to the British government anymore. So many other govt. own logistics enterprises in the world have been taken private. Again, I don’t expect to be agreed with, but NNPC is a classic example of why government, especially ours should not run businesses. My 2 kobo! #KOnotes

From 3rd World to 1st - Singapore Spent the last few days in Singapore, it was my first time in this incredible city/country. I first fell I in love with this country over 15 years ago as I started to deepen my knowledge about national development and how one man’s vision can literally take a nation from third world to first. I delved into the book that captured the 3-decade rule of Lee Kwan Yew and how he shouldered development, and lifted his people out of poverty into great prosperity. This was a country that had everything going against it, especially after the break away from Malaysia. The only major thing it had was a thriving port. No oil, no gas… That one thing (Port) became the foundation on which everything was built upon. It gained its full independence in 1966, and its GDP per capital was about $$3,500 then. Today it’s $82,000, one of the highest in the world. Architecture is breathtaking, indeed a city in a garden. I’m not a foodie, but even I, had to my foodie fellow traveler in search of awesome taste (not everyday fasting 😃). The Heart of God Church, led by Pastor How is a home to thousands of young people. It was a great place of worship for us. Pure expression of worship and a genuine heard of worship, in the city! Grateful to our hosts, The Tolaram Group, whose companies have added so much value to Nigeria over the last 75 years. From Indomie Noodles, to Lekki Ports. It’s an enduring partnership and friendship. I’ll surely be back here for kingdom projects, business, more knowledge (perhaps via LKY school of public policy), and yes, proper holidays! Goodbye, the Lion City. Home, here we come! On to the next… #Singapore #KOnotes #KingdomAdvancing #GlobalFinance #Nations #Faith
