“A ajiye batun Buhari na aiki ko baya aiki...” - Adamu Garba.

Right there is the logic; the one that keep "Ƴandako" in penury inside our markets despite not being respected by the wealth they helped brought into being.
The logic that make our corporate directors give employment to the mediocre because they're children of their kinsmen and friends.

The logic that hinder our wealthy from exoanding their businesess.

The logic that keep our poor inside the trade that doesn't give them good return
The logic that hinder parents from going to court when their daughter gets dishonored.

The logic that convince our people to stay idle because prayer get them covered.

The logic that tells our elders that leaders need only prayer without any check and balance.
The logic that get parents into putting their children, both men and women, into unsustainable marriages.

The logic that advise our entrepreneurs to own more idle lands rather than working capitals. Or to say primitive rather than Tech-savy.
That's the northern logic; rich with repressive "regardless, despite and in spite of".

While the drivers of progress in our reality disallowed the application of that.

A qarni na 21, kar wanda ya ce maka "abar batun...... ", ka saurareshi. Saboda kowanne batu does matter.
A hakanma muna fama da information assymetry da adverse selection ballantana "an bar batu". Aikin banza aikin wofi!

“Mutunci”, “Daraja” and “Ƙima” that haven't been employed properly to create efficiency are absolutely useless attributes in our current socioeconomic capitalist reality.

21st century is an era that only respects potential - good or otherwise - and its employment.
This unprovoked reminiscent and misinterpretation of values create nothing but poor understanding of which mechanisms modernity drives upon.

In the context of tangible success, the ego and self-esteem that doesn't make you richer, wiser and healthier are unaffordable luxuries.
So its up to you to make them work or find another way to create tangible success.

Sadly, an average northerner values intangible success more than anything, such as the glow of his ego and rising of self-esteem, than good governance, more wealth, wisdom and health.

I wonder; between the people who think the government hires hoodlums to blackmail the protesters and the people who think armless, peaceful protesters have suddenly turned into thieving hoodlums who resents to anarchy; who are the real conspiracy theorists?
Because so far, all I'm seeing is people who have never had positive feelings towards the demonstration drawing far-fetched judgements and people who have unconfirmed multimedia and photographic evidences angrily distancing themselves from accusations.
It seems like objectivity has borrowed wings and fly away from social commentary on Nigerian cyberspace. And I'm not taking sides on this due to what I believe earlier. Only dropping a reminder that none has so far presented enough to be trusted.

-Banning the importation of rice was a blunder; it was unnecessary + it increases the price of rice while forcing speculative impact on general inflation.

-Insistence upon self-efficiency in food was far-fetched.

In this thread I'll explain the above two points.

#LongThread:
Mr. Buhari was right from the logic of the pioneer of cameralism, Philiph Willem Van Honick, in his dissection of "Austria Over All, If She Only Will in 1684”. Surely any country looking to develop economically should produce all the commodities it needs for local consumption.
But then he was wrong from the logic of the Scottish economist, Mr. David Ricardo; for it was later realized that any country looking to develop economically should produce only the commodity in which it has a comparative advantage upon other countries.
