WHEN ARE WE ENDING JUDICIARY?
Nigerian judiciary emerged victorious as #1 on Nigeria's corruption index, with $25Million in offered and paid bribe. A kid sister who excitedly started practise lamented her rude shock of, what reality is, at d registry of Federal High Court, Ikoyi. Image
If a murderous SARS is put before trial, he'll face this same justice system, with a wooden stick used to prevent its symbol of equity from toppling over. Are you truly interested in governance or you hate Buhari, or you are just being used by being part of a topic that's trendy?
Protest remains a viable means of putting pressure on govt to act. And there was nothing wrong with #EndSars, but it remained a joke to see such a viable protest end in conversations about terminating a govt, and lawyers who objected to arrest of corrupt judges are the curators.
Hong Kong's protest vs EndSars are contextually not same. Here, protest is meant to make govt work, while we sit back, lick SuperYogo, worry about not getting orgasm, then keep other social vices. It doesnt concern @ayosogunro that d judiciary is #1 on Nigeria's corruption index.

BEFORE YOU'RE USED NEXT TIME
Have you heard or read about "soft facts?" Read it up. Disinformation communications is a new knowledge domain that embodies use of "soft facts" to steer perceptions and experiences of security and safety at individual, group and institutional levels. Image
I've parted ways, in some cases physically, in some cases psychologically, with as many people, as much as I have met in life, who turned blind eye to a glaring anarchical circumstances, where hoodlums started burning our things down in Lagos, because there's a point to prove.
If we do an introspective plus-delta, our conscience will see it that firstly and, admittedly, the Nigerian Army's tactics at the Lekki Tollgate is totally unacceptable, irrespective of whatever side of the argument you belonged to. The initial finger pointing made it all uglier.

SEX IN THE SUN
The presence of sunlight may have been the reason why Nigerians have endured and may continue endure lack of electricity. By my estimation, Lagos alone save up to $10Million yearly by using sun to dry clothes, and without a cold weather that requires home heating. Image
Ekiti and Ondo would need thrice their federal allocation as drying cost for cocoa, cassava and many other food processes that requires drying, if yearly availability of sunlight drops by half. A productive cocoa farmer would need at least 308 million BTU of heat. 1kWh = 3412BTU.
I read it that UK spends ~£100,000 on vitamin D between October, and March of the following year. Its been said vitamin D is crucial to building a formidable immune system. If this is true, God sent us here prepared. We didn't only become fortified through exposures to diseases.

IF GOWON LOOTED CBN...
@TomTugendhat who made an unheard-of accusation that Gowon looted half of CBN was barely 2years old when Gowon was removed in 1975. It was in 1973, the year @TomTugendhat was born, "Gowon gave the original Benin Bronze head to Queen Elizabeth as a gift."
Gowon built 3rd Mainland Bridge up to the Adekunle end and other enduring landmark in Lagos till date. He built Kanji Dam as we know it. But the focus here is about @TomTugendhat pointing us to the veracity of his claims that Gowon looted CBN, if he was 2yrs old when it happened.
If the civil war was fought under Gowon, then only God knows how CBN came about the money Gowon looted. Oil boom started just 2yrs before he was removed and our parents told us he paid UDOJI, which remained an unreplicated good time for Nigeria and Nigerian workers till today.

FOLLOW THE MONEY
Whatever you start now with ~30 clientele in Lagos, will grow to ~275 clientele in 3yrs at current growth rate. +16million will be added to Nigeria's population by 2023. At least 1.1million of this 16million will be in Lagos. This is d money you are looking for.
An unprecedented 87 Jss1 students were admitted in my school in September. This is November and we are still turning away at least 5 students daily, because we no longer have space. The pandemic is pushing the density equilibrium of trade and services towards lower income band.
If we stick to a school case study, started in a low income area of Lagos, in a purpose built detached building rented at +/-N1million per annum, by 2023 you'll have ~270 students without advertising. After expenses, your income as d school owner will be about N1Million monthly!

NIGERIANS DONT KNOW NIGERIA
Nigeria is not a sachet economy. A fickle-minded few, whose horizon is bounded by d perimeter of their mother's beer parlour will tell u it is. Have u heard about Escravos-Gas-To-Liquid, a rare gas monetization innovation hidden in d creeks of Nigeria?
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) is a new technological innovation that converts natural gas to ultra-pure, sulphur free diesel & naphtha. All over the world, there's currently only two! The first is ORYX GTL, Qatar, the second is Nigeria's Escravos-Gas-To-Liquid (EGTL), operated by Chevron.
Nigeria's GTL combines a slurry phase distillate process called Fischer–Tropsch, a patent technology of Sasol Synfuels, South Africa and Chevron's Isocracking refining technology. The kick-off process is a delicate bombardment of liquid oxygen with natural gas at over a 1000°C.

THINGS WE COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY
Its time to stop making it look like #EndSARS is primarily responsible for the current spate of robbery all around us. The protest is well intentioned, but robbers now gun down bullion van in daylight. This turn of events may consume us all. Image
Its unlikely there's any living Nigerian who havent received a dose of @PoliceNG madness. But now that we are becoming estranged with many people we share banter with, over a cause that's meant to end police high-handedness; this should make us take a step back in introspection.
That somebody added Rev. Sam Adeyemi's name to a criminal complaint filed in Abuja is like an acute madness to me. The complainant also told the court, rightly so, his investments were burnt. At this point, the people we should dread most are the conspiracy theorists amongst us.
