My quest for a better Nigeria led me to this thread I've coined #LetsMakeNigeriaGreat.
From my research, I've to discover that most Nigerian Political office holders (elected or appointed), Public/Civil Servants are either Christians or Moslems with a micro unit as Traditional Worshippers../2
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
Now, it's on record we are where we are today largely because of poor governance. Though the stakeholders may want to disagree with me... /3
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
Irrespective of the religion, I know one virtue is common. That is, we claim to owe allegiance to our supreme deity whose gospel we read and listen to at one point or the other. But we seem to be cobwebbed from doing the right thing.. /4
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
Now, let's talk about the Citizens. A vast majority of Nigerians are either Christians or Moslems, no doubt. But the problem of Nigeria is far from being religious. It is an intrinsic cankerworm that needs to be eradicated if we TRULY./5 #LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
Practice what we profess. None of the major religion in Nigeria encourages looting, greed, stealing, immorality, corruption and the likes.
The irony of it is that most these menaces have been on the increase in the recent time. Oh!../6
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
This brings me to the crux of dis thread.
How do we #MakeNigeriaGreat?
It's not about party or tribe.
It's about you & I.
Let's change our paradigm.
Let's rewrite the narrative.
Let's live by the teachings of our respective religion.
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
Solution: If all of us (Christians and Moslems, even the Trados) live out the teachings of our respective religion, then we are a step close to the Nigeria we are supposed to be./8
#LetsMakeNigeriaGreat
No matter where we've gotten it wrong, we can still get it right.
Change your mindset.
Be patriotic.
Be sincere.
Be fair.
We can #MakeNigeriaGreat.../9
If we sincerely resolve to #MakeNigeriaGreat, we may not need #Confab to do the right thing.
Thank you for reading my piece.

@jason_kint Thanks @jason_kint for your informative quick-take on why serious media is in crisis. Here are a few pertinent points from my two+ decades in online publishing (that includes long association for @allafrica w/ Google). 1/4
@jason_kint @allafrica (1) Discovery: Google has pushed search results for reputable news off 1st screen in favor of more lucrative Google ads
(2) Design: Publishers are pressured to adopt AMP which "tightens Google's grip on the web"
2/4
@jason_kint @allafrica (3) Data: Google assigned 'all liability' to publishers for any violations of GDPR

(4) Dollars: Having "cornered" ad serving & dominated ad demand, Google can (and does) effectively set pricing of ads in its favor
3/4

One of #Nigeria's leading road transporters, @PMTNigeria has about 65 terminals in 26 states, employing thousands directly or indirectly & facilitating integration across the country. It's supposed to be 1 of those SMMEs that govt all over the country shd support
Early in 2018, as the rat-race towards #NigeriaDecides2019 got underway, the then governor of Imo State, @realRochas, approached the Chairman of @PMTNigeria, Chief for support to his partisan political plans. The company told the governor it did not do partisan politics
The week after the company rebuffed @realRochas, the Governor, in an act of reprisal, ordered the sealing up of the company's loading bay in Owerri, capital of Imo State. The company's workers & contractors in the State were put out of work. It was to be sealed for over 1 year.

What is Wilayat Al-Faqih? #THREAD
The doctrine of Wilayat al-Faqih forms the central axis of contemporary Shi’a political thought. It advocates a guardianship-based political system, which relies upon a just and capable jurist (faqih) to assume the leadership of the government in the absence of an infallible Imam
However, although the guardianship of a high-ranking religious scholar is universally accepted amongst all Shi’a theories of governance, any disagreement is focused on the details such as the role of the jurist and the scope of his authority.

Dear @segalink, It has become imperative that I write you at this auspicious time. This is important, not just in the spirit of Egbon (senior) that you are to me but also a future leader & mentor that you are to many of us.
Suffice to say, this message is not in any way an offshoot of the air split that transpired  between yourself and the most estemm Dr @obyezeks a day before.

Well, you might just call it the 'catalyst'.
In my celestial observation of trend and events as you would always love to say. I have observed that if not curtailed, there is a bad precedent being set by most of you distinguished and respectable personalities on this street.

#Nigeria’s GDP slowly picking up since the oil price crash of 2014-16 - up 1.9% in 2018 (0.8% the year before). And last quarter of 2018 was best in years at 2.4% - but not fast enough to deal with Unemployment
If we look at Nigeria's economy and compare it to other oil exporters - it's better than some (Eq Guinea in Africa, Venezuela in Latam), and worse than others. But none have done great since the oil price fall began in 2014
We think Nigeria will do better in the next four years - as we said in this thread - because oil prices won't repeat the fall of 2014-16 (nominally they can't fall $80 from peak to trough). But policy choices will determine *how* much better Nigeria does

Lt. Lirfa Dashe was to wed last month. He'd bn in MNJTF since 2015. In March 2018, he was given off. 2 months later, in May, he was ordered back to frontlines. In July, he was killed in Jilli. He's 1 of 1,307 #Nigerian soldiers, victims of #BokoHaram buried in Maimalari Barracks
Lt. Lirfa Dashe was with the 22 Task Force Bgde of the 81 Div in Lagos. All that his family received was "a token 1-time payment from the 22nd Brigade equivalent to $140 & a #Nigerian flag." As the world mark(s) their Rememberance(s), let's not forget ppl like Lt. Dashe. #RIP
In the Great Wars of the colonial era, black soldiers were very expendable, their sacrifices air brushed from history & forgetable. It's not much changed - In #Nigeria's fights with insurgency, soldiers on the frontlines are still treated as expendable
