A friend (who has a Biz in the service industry) recently told me they didn’t realize, all the while they were supporting PMB in 2015, just how much of their Biz patronage came from the free money that flowed under GEJ/PDP. That money trickled everywhere

Really thought-provoking
And that’s how it was. Just for the 2015 elections, Diezani shared $115 MILLION to INEC and Security Agencies, to influence the elections. Then there was the $289 MILLION GEJ approved for NIA. All apart from the Grand Largesse: the $2.1 BILLION Dasuki shared to PDP chieftains.
All of this apart from the Oil Subsidy Money: Trillions of Naira paid out to dozens of companies mostly for doing nothing

All that money flowed into real estate, Aviation (PJs), Cars, & boosted the services sector, fueling the rise of fashion designers, events planners, etc

Been doing a bit of traveling around Nigeria (more to come), seeing ongoing infrastructure projects. Impressive sights. What I find most intriguing is how unaware people are, even of projects near them. Part of issue is prob that we just have grown up not expecting these things.
There are still people who will argue that nothing is happening re #LagosIbadanRail. For some its partisan blindness (as the Yoruba say, you can't wake a man pretending to be asleep).

But for many others its just genuine disbelief. Because they haven't seen it, it can't exist.
Another striking thing is THE SHEER SCALE of what needs to be done. Even after Buhari's 8 years,even with all the focus on #Infra, there will still be a lot to be done. Because for much of the time in our history(when we had money!) we didn't do these things. The DEFICIT is much.

First time I listened in person to PMB speak was at Chatham House,2011. He told the story of a 1961 UK Summer Holiday Trip awarded by the Shipping Co. Elder Dempster —he was in Form 6, & got the single slot allocated to Northern Nigeria.This week I came across a photo of the trip
I recall him saying how surprised he was that he, with no influential family members, got that single Northern slot, when he had classmates like the late Shehu Yar’Adua, whose father was a Federal Minister. “That was when there was social justice [in Nigeria],” he said.
The Elder Dempster Prize was to reward selection in what was a nationwide competition. (Not sure what the contest involved exactly). At the time the Northern Elite typically sent their children to Barewa College; he was in Katsina Provincial Sec School, where he was Head Boy.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
