2. How was a question about the need for police reform and state police answered by Baba gloating about how he sent @seyiamakinde packing and instead said the solution to our security problems was a return to the empowerment of traditional/local leaders.

Like…how, Oga?
3. In case you did not hear well, Baba repeated it for the ones at the back:

APC is not going to give you state police.

As Baba start to yarn opps, @seunokin sharply change topic! 😂😂😂
4a. Ignorant.

On the appt of Dr. Doyin Salami, the president recalls being briefed by his new economic adviser that only 2.5% of Nigeria’s arable land is cultivated

That’s a lie.

2.5% is irrigated.

Yet he has based his ENTIRE economic recovery plan on this lie!
4b. Delusional

SOMEHOW…Baba has convinced himself that the border closure was a good thing; that we’ve stopped importing rice; & despite insecurity that has driven farmers from their farms & rising food inflation; Nigeria is producing more rice than we can eat

@MaupeO face 😂
5. To solve our energy problems, instead of doing boring stuff like invest in extracting oil, piping gas to homes and industries or even (boo) mining coal; Baba has realized what no one else has: the sun is an unlimited source of energy and Nigeria’s route to industrialization.
6. Breaking News! Baba has finally admitted that all those claims of lifting 100m Nigerians out of poverty na audio.

Good thing was that the audio jobs were poverty-guaranteeing subsistence farming jobs.

But why Baba freeze like that at the end? 😭😭😭
7. @seunokin asks Baba if he is aware of the suffering of Nigerians.

He says he is aware, ABSOLUTELY AWARE in fact; but regurgitates that bit of economic misinformation about only 2.5% of arable land being farmed; and tells you lazy, hungry people to go back to the farms.
8. Shout out to @seunokin for this last question sha. Put the disastrous economic data right in the President’s face. I don’t think they’ll be invited back to Aso Rock any time soon.

Baba’s response? E say na fake news and everybody should go to the farm 😂😂😂
APC is a curse. Know that and know peace.

The 2023 general elections might not be this man’s business, but they are yours.

Go get your PVC so we can take back this country.

Or go to our terrorist-infested farms and pursue your dreams there.

The choice is yours. 🤷🏽‍♂️ /End

A few random thoughts, as it seems we have forgotten the mistakes of 2015.

Before we start, go take a look at my header. That is politics.

It is not fair. It is not just. It is the pursuit of power. And it will ONLY act fair, or just if that will secure power.

Let’s begin:
1. The 2023 elections will NOT be about fairness, or justice, or equity. It will necessarily be a choice between the two candidates the PDP and APC will present.

2. I’m seeing “anyone but [Atiku/GEJ/Osinbajo/Tinubu] tweets. Stop with the silliness. That’s how we got Buhari.
3. When TWO candidates emerge, dispassionately vote for the one who will protect & advance your interests, & consequently society’s interests

4. Parties do not present saviors or saints; religions & cults do. So PLEASE avoid demagogues. Again, that’s how we ended up with Buhari.

The Democratic Alternative.

1. The next Nigerian President will be either a PDP or APC candidate.

2. The only role a 3rd force party can play is by either tipping the vote one way or the other for the two aforementioned parties; or forming an alliance with one of them.
3. For legislative elections into houses of assemblies or the National Assembly, 3rd force candidates can shine.

4. We need brilliant people to occupy the vacuums that currently exist there.

5. Securing APC/PDP legislative tickets can be an expensive & non-inclusive process.
6. If you’re passionate about politics & how the legislative process can improve the lives of the people around you; and you can connect with your local community, try alternative parties.

7. But start now. Go home. Meet your people. Find out what they need and how you can help.

An incident on a 7am @ArikAirlineNg fight to Benin at the Lagos airport left me a lot more understanding of delays caused by “operational reasons”.

So I got to the airport early o; checked in early; boarded early.

Plane started taxing down the runway. Then it stopped.
Ah ah. Engine is turned off. Wetin dey happen?

Pilot says over the intercom: Sorry ladies and gentlemen, we have to deal with an issue.

He comes out of the cockpit and asks his crew to open the door, then goes back in.

Wetin dey happen o?!?
One lady in business class has brought in a piece of luggage that was too big for the overhead lockers. She was also seated at an emergency exit.

They had told her to put it up; she said no. They then told her they would have to check it in. She wanted it with her; they said no.

A wise man told me that Buhari did not create these divisions, he merely exposed them

I think about the outrage when Boko Haram raised flags in Nigerian towns in 2014; the derision when the military drove them out in 2015

“Too little, too late”, people crowed. “We want change”.
Today, the outrage has been replaced by a chilling silence, as Boko Haram raises flags and levies taxes and kills citizen and soldier alike.

And all of this in next door Niger State, an hour and a half away from Abuja.

No outrage. No protests. Just...silence.
A wise woman once told me that the South is afflicted with a disease called political correctness.

I think about this a lot when I recall the opprobrium heaped on @stellaoduah for the procurement of armoured cars by a parastatal under her. I think about her sack by @GEJonathan.

The Face of Corruption.

A @NetflixNaija Original
Produced by @OfficialAPCNg
Directed by @MBuhari

Act 1
It was over even before it began for @ProfPondei when @BTOofficial, Chairman of the @HouseNGR recused himself over claims that he had a vendetta against Pondei & the NDDC
Act 2
Pondei fails to realise that his victory would be short lived, as the House of Reps zeroes in on the one criminal allegation they can prove: extra-budgetary expenditure.

They quietly flank him on the left. His ED Projects Dr. Cairo, senses the danger, and starts panicking.
Act 3

Dr. Cairo (whispers angrily): tell them the N1.3bn is covered under welfare!

Prof. Pondei: welfare? Hmm.

The Committee asks Pondei to speak to the 2019 NDDC approved budget.

Pondei claims he doesn’t have it. Check.

The Committee asks the Clerk to provide it. Checkmate.

@saniyusuf Happy to break it down for you:

1. The industrialization of the North argument. Not a business-case focus on the SW and Lagos, or SE, or even industrial gas-powered clusters in the ND? What competitive advantage does Kano hold in the production of petrochemical goods?
@saniyusuf 2. We have existing gas-fed power plants struggling with gas supply and transmission. We don’t have light. Common sense would suggest all funds be users to solve those immediate problems if the aim is truly to kickstart an industrial revolution.
@saniyusuf 3. As an aside he mentions the wasteful prospecting of oil in the North by NNPC, then justifies the viability of the pipeline by saying demand for oil will dry up. You can’t eat your oily cake and have your gas pie.
