So, I asked ChatGPT to help me illustrate Odumeje's powers. Thread:
We started with my favourite "Ganduka Gandusa", which it interpreted as an ancient ethereal and mystical energy. So the illustration is set against a backdrop that blends elements of the cosmos with an ancient forest. Image
Then I asked it to illustrate "Abido Shaker". It says, "This time, I'm imagining a scene that focuses on the elemental and primal force of nature, suggesting a power that can shake the very foundation of the earth." Image

The series of tweets on "Dorm" accounts from this account illustrate how financial ignorance and economic illiteracy can end up doing unintended and irreversible damage to the economy.
Thread:
1. Lets start with the fact that the author of this tweet - who is also a member of Nigeria's parliament - calls it "Dorm" accounts. It suggests ignorance of the name and the policy intention of these kinds of accounts. The correct name is "Dom", short for Domiciliary Accounts.
2. Dom accounts are a key aspect of the policy to incentivize potential forex inflows from autonomous sources into Nigeria by allowing autonomous recipients of these funds to DOMICILE them in Nigerian banks at close to the value at which the transaction was initiated.

When I say that there is an exclusive Nigerian identity fostered by the state, this is what it looks like. The national solidarity is engendered by patronage through oil blocks and monthly transfers. The average Nigerian lives at the margins of the state, participating by proxy.
When a part of Nigeria says they are marginalised, they often mean to say that the representives of their ethnic group through whom they broker their participation have been poorly treated by the patronage network.
In actual fact, all of Nigeria is marginalised, save the few.
The patronage system and all its corollaries including federal character, rotational presidency and fuel subsidy are designed to be exclusive and are built on the fantasy of trickle down economics.

State formation is a process. Every state in the world is somewhere along the continuum working its way forward or backward. This is where I think Nigeria is on the continuum. What do you think?
People take Stage 1 for granted because geographic homogeneity is a common assumption. But drawing boundaries can be a violent process. Who are you including that wants out? How do you deal with pockets of opposition that threaten the contiguousness of the map? Crush or resettle?
Stage 1 is usually driven by people with some sort of power. For instance, ISWAP has penetrated some territories in the Northeast. These territories were not ceded voluntarily by the previous occupiers. This is only the first step of state formation.
