NIGERIANS AND ACCUSATIONS. If you are in public office in Nigeria, if you are not careful, people will not let you work. There will be one baseless accusation after another and you could spend all your time defending yourself from every new accusation someone dreams up. Thread...
Between 2005 and 2006, government disengaged some public servants. There were various reasons. Some had had their posts abolished, like cooks and “nightwatchmen” attached to senior govt officials. The Monetisation Policy consolidated salaries and therefore made them redundant.
Others had disciplinary issues and should have since been sacked. Yet others had failed promotion exams more than three times. Finally, people who wanted to leave the service were given a monetary incentive to go. My Mum took advantage of this offer. Everybody was paid off.

I have known Amina Zakari for 15 years. In 2015, she had concluded plans and was avoiding all official and calls from the Villa, thinking they were trying to persuade her to do another term. She didn’t know that President Buhari wanted to appoint her Acting INEC Chairman...1/2
I had to abuse our friendship by calling her with my phone to meet me somewhere. That’s where we delivered the appointment letter to her. I’ll tell the full story one day. That day is not today. Suffice it to say that she is intelligent, hardworking, professional and honest. End.
*She had concluded plans to leave INEC*

I have deliberately been silent on the ASUU strike and not retweeted hashtags on it. Many people have been asking for my thoughts on it, but I have been too busy Baby Boying to bother. This thread by @fimiletoks captures most of my thoughts. I’ll just add a few things. Thread...
The quest for uniformity and sharing is killing our university system. There SHOULD BE elitism at university level. Harvard is not the same as Shaw University. Their admission processes are not the same. Their fees are not the same. Their faculty don’t go on strikes annually.
We should have a few elite universities that can start to aim for the top 500 of universities worldwide. This is a position that has been canvassed by erudite scholar Prof Ladipo Adamolekun, my academic mentor. Those elite universities should get more funding & charge higher fees

1/ On my feed I try to stay in my lane...focusing on

1st.) #volatility specific issues

2nd.) Economic and stock market observation

 First some qualifications. I am first and foremost a financial economist, and by nature and study, fiscally conservative. Most finance academics are.

I care deeply about fiscal and monetary policy, but not obtuse enough to believe my opinion is always right

What makes the country great is our ability to disagree passionately about a wide array of subjects but find a working common ground.

I try to refrain from many political topics, especially on this platform, because, what can be accomplished debating on @Twitter

@HQNigerianArmy 1. None to the exclusion of the other, the operations are as intensely dogged by issues which stem from the human factor ( MANPOWER) as they are majorly constrained by issues of logistics and ewuipment (MATERIEL)

So why do I feel that we should leave the EU?

My view of the EU and the UKs place in it has been in flux for sometime but it has taken the last two years post vote to evolve to where it is now.

In short it can be broken down into a few core views 1/
But first who am I - I was born in 1980 in a centre left family. I have been pro European all my life and believed in the concept of European Integration and have at various times in my life sneered at Eurosceptics. I remember Maastrict and the bastards and on from there. 2/
I am married to a beautiful French lady and when I was 30 we traveled around the world. In the 8.5 months away whenever I was asked where I was from I would say 'London' or 'Europe'. I was 'it' a full blow Pro European who even hoped that the UK would join the Euro someday. 3/

1/ Growth wins. Period. Yet distribution strategy seems to not get an equal seat at the table. This is the first in a four post series by @onecaseman @kevinakwok and I. Here we explore why growth wins, and how the game has changed - reforge.com/blog/growth-wi…
2/ "Growth wins" is not new advice. “The best product doesn't always win. The one everyone uses wins” @boztank “Poor distribution - not product - is the number one cause of failure.” @peterthiel ...
3/ But we still seem stuck in "build a great product" as the #1 answer to all problems and questions around growing a product. Yes, building a great product is a good first step, but is far from a complete answer...
