According to this thread, NNPC is not actually the sole importer of fuel into Nigeria despite having publicly arrogated this power to itself in 2015.

MRS, Oando and the Emmadeb/Maikifi consortium are thus illegally importing PMS cargoes with NNPC's stated approval.

Keep going!
Step 1: Come into power and destroy dozens of independent fuel marketing businesses using state power. Make NNPC "sole importer."

Step 2: Fuel scarcity, because NNPC/Duke Oil obviously doesn't have the capacity to supply 180 million consumers. Chaos ensues.

Problem->Reaction...
Step 3: Acknowledge that a solution is needed, but don't say what it is. Quietly invite a small group of your friends, family and cronies to take the space vacated by the independent marketers you put out of business.

Step 4: Fuel scarcity eases.

Problem->Reaction->Solution.
The names behind Oando, Emadeb and Maikifi.

Much shock. Very surprise.

In a country that has a Freedom Of Information Act, I cannot go to the NNPC website and find out everything I need to know about Duke Oil - a company it has owned since 1989.

I have to go to UK and UAE public records to find out who is on the board of a Nigerian public company.
This Nigerian public sector entity is not registered under its international name (Duke Oil) with Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Commission.

There is even controversy over where its is actually based. Is it Abuja? London? Dubai? Panama? Nobody really knows.

A public sector entity.
The Panamanian law firm Alemán, Cordero, Galindo & Lee, which is now internationally recognised for being the go-to consultant for money laundering in Panama, is the law firm retained by this shadowy public sector entity.

All this in a country with a Freedom Of Information Act.

Learn new things, you will not learn.
Become better at what you do no way.
Give opportunities to younger people, whossai.
OK at least stay out of their way and leave them to their own devices, you will still try to be a roadblock.

The African elder is a TERRIBLE human being.
Elsewhere, when a young talent with huge potential arises, the establishment sees its future there and invests in this person.

Here, I was left to find my own way. Which I did without anybody's help and I didn't complain.

Now see them gathering like witches on my head!
One of Nigeria's most fearless investigative journalists in decades emerged and the entire Nigerian media coughed and looked the other way, only pausing to steal and plagiarise my work until I threw a massive tantrum about it, then they stopped.

What value do elders add???

See, let me just tell all of you Methuselah Nigerian journalists who think you are some kind of standard for what journalism is or isn't:

I'm only John The Baptist.

The Jesuses are coming after me. Not 1, not 2, not 5. You are going to fucking HATE it.

I promise you.
We have not started with you yet. You think people like David Hundeyin and Samuel Ogundipe are your problem? Wait first.

When you see 35 David Hundeyins coming, nobody will have to tell you what to so.

Useless, abominable elders who add no value to anything or anyone.
You're already irrelevant - you just don't know it yet. True Crime Daniel on YouTube - a vlogger with no professional journalism experience - is already delivering higher quality and more impactful journalism than any of you with your grey hair and brown envelopes.

Fully expect to wake up one day and hear that marriage is being canceled for being heteronormative, unduly influenced by the Male Gaze, and possibly transphobic too.

Heck, someone will use stats to argue that marriage is racist. It will happen.
This is enlightenment and progress in the age where humanity has solved pretty much all its material problems.

Fucking dystopia.
Here come the stats lol.

"Marriage is racist" is about to become a real thing in 3..2..

Some cultures understand that all knowledge belongs to all humanity and that you can only profit from controlling a share of the knowledge.

Some other cultures try to control 100% of their cultural knowledge and end up with 100% of a worthless nothing.

Guess who is what
Some cultures created patents so that they could profit from a share of invention, which is infinite and belongs to all humanity.

Other cultures created a writing script, then hoarded it for only their elites so that knowledge could not be compounded or traded among commoners.
Some cultures discovered how to harness the power of combustion and used it to create industrial economies that raised the entire level of the human species.

Other cultures hid their scientific discoveries behind mysticism and turned them into religions for exploiting each other

I have a dream that one day Africans will understand that Border Closure is a false god that only bestows poverty and alienation.

Whether it is Border Closure economics or Border Closure cultural gatekeeping or Border Closure IP practises.

Globalisation doesn't respect you.
Border Closure vs openness to trade trade exchange is the reason why some people were circumnavigating in 1700 while our ancestors were completely unaware of civilisations that were 600KM away from them on the same continent.

Border Closure only births insularity and poverty.
Border Closure is the reason that the world's poorest continent also has by far the world's lowest rate of internal trade.

Instead of leveraging trade and exchange to compound results, every man is busy building fences around his 70 x 55 okra farm.

Border Closure makes you poor
