Do we know that letting people become Billionaires through Coup-Plotting and Election-Rigging has helped build a Culture where the End justifies the Means?

Can people be allowed to become Presidents, Governors& Senators through criminal methods without Culture being affected?
Have the Nigerian Elders, Religious Establishment and Elite Social Circles ever turned their backs on people who got political and economic power through Coup-Plotting, Election-Rigging and other methods associated with Violence?

What have we rewarded?

What have we punished?
We are lecturing the young people in their 20s and 30s about Fraud. That's good.

When will we talk to the older people in their 60s, 70s and 80s who openly rig elections, steal billions, destroy their society and STILL have the nerve to demand Respect?
The practices you reward become Culture..

The practices you punish dwindle and get pushed to the fringes..

Who are the most important and respected people in your state and Environment?

Why are they respected?

Answer this question truthfully and it becomes clear..

That a relationship is old does not mean it is good..

What is the trend?

Do you feel smaller with them?

Is it a safe place to discuss your qualities and goals?

Do they look forward with you in Faith and Love?

Or do they keep your Eyes on your weaknesses and failures
One reason why Strangers build your walls is that they see what You ARE, not what you were.

People tend to function from Memory, not Vision.

People from your past tend to see You as they remember you

Even positive changes could bring disruption to the group dynamic
The easiest way to be the new You is a new environment

Fresh Relationships. Fresh Locations.

Places and People you don't have muscle-memory for

You will find it easier to see what you have become and ACT ON IT

And the new people will support

because this You is all they know

The revenue of the average US supermarket is higher than what Borno State earns as IGR.

But they think threatening foreigners with investment and spending power with visa refusal makes sense

If we cannot be Sensible, let's at least start with Humility
Image
We have lied to ourselves for 40 years

We are nothing and must accept that

Single restaurant locations in Houston outearn entire Nigerian states with the population of Croatia

We must humble ourselves and build the FOUNDATIONS

Town by Town.
City by City.
Sector by Sector.
You'll see Nigerians from states that are outearned by Davido saying their patronage keeps London and Dubai bouyant

We are absurdly pompous and have a hostile relationship with Truth and Reason

It has ruined us and has to stop

Southerners pushing for Devolution are more pro-South than those pushing merely for tribal agenda without a viable long-term strategy..

People who are shouting but not thinking about the policies that help Southern men, women and children are not pro-South.
The people making an entire region sit at home every Monday are not Northern Muslims..

This thing is not merely about where people hail from.

What option provides the best LONG-TERM possibilities for the Southern Regions?

Shouting over Tribes and Regions is not enough.
What is more important?

Individuals from 4 or 5 ethnic groups rotating through Aso Rock?

Or the establishment of a Model that empowers the 36 states and the 774 LGAs to work for the 170 million Nigerians?

Which is more important?

Do you even think about what helps the MASSES?

This is from a 2019 Miyetti Allah press conference..

Speaker is Abdullahi Bello Badejo.
Leader of Miyetti Allah.

You can see the OFFICIAL stance on Atiku for not supporting their ways.

Those of you telling lies about Atiku over tribal hostility and ambition should be careful
Atiku is arguably the most Southern-friendly major Northern politician in Nigeria's history.

Elections come and go

but the South will need progressive Northern allies to take Nigeria forward..

If we are UNFAIR to the ones we have, then we will get more Elrufais and Pantamis..
Why do feudalists and groups like Miyetti have an issue with him? Ideas like this.

Atiku wants Devolution.

Atiku wants State Police and even Local Govt Police.

Now look at the state you come from and ask yourself if there's anything better than Devolution for your people..

Tinubu has two key rivals.

One is a Northern Muslim who is more likely to get the votes of those who want a Muslim.

The other is a Southerner who could get protest votes from even the Southwest.

In going for extremes, Tinubu has isolated himself
It's difficult to see why the people from Niger up to Katsina would vote for a SW Muslim over a Northern Muslim that's generally seen as more competent.

Then you then have to deal with the Christian population from the Middle-Belt down to the South.
If Atiku successfully sells his commitment to Devolution, State Police of some sort and Economic Liberalisation, it's difficult to see how he would lose..

Nigeria's different ethnicities and regions are unlikely to turn away from an opportunity for increased autonomy

Their earnings in Nigeria are likely to be affected by inflation in the long run.

That N24m is $46k that they'll be able to easily achieve with their improved CV while living in a better country.
A lot of my family and friends have left the country and i can clearly see that they have better lives over there..

People having kids in youth programs of English league teams while Nigerian kids are doing lesson until 5pm like say them fit build rocket
Earning $45k in the US>N24m here

Over the last 20years,
Nigerian Food Inflation? 1000%
American Food Price Inflation? 61%.

If Nigerian Inflation continues like this over the next 20 years,
Nigerians in their 50s would have experienced 1,000,000% Inflation in their lifetimes.
