AUDACIOUS LEADERSHIP & TINUBU'S TEMPLATE

Nigeria can experience greatness in a sporadic way that will birth the desires we dream of.

We lost a window of opportunity to sow between 1999-2007 across Nigeria & that was the exact time Lagos was fortunate to have a THINKING LEADER. ImageImageImageImage
This is year 2023 and there seems to be HARVEST of Legacy PROJECTS in Lagos.
Here's my point, Governor Tinubu had 8 years at a stretch at the inception of this democracy just like other 35 other States in Nigeria.

What has happened in the past 22 years in the Sub-Nationals pls? ImageImageImageImage
For context, There are at least TWO major Audacious Investment Governor Tinubu made in his 8 years that have turned to a massive harvest today in Lagos: Lekki Free Trade zone & Eko Atlantic City. Audacious & daring mind that saw "Dubai" inside the Ocean.👇
Within 8 years, Governor Tinubu of Lagos created the Lekki Free Trade Zone. Despite being in the opposition, the President who was of PDP was on ground to celebrate his audacious step in 2006.

Now, the harvest is #LekkiDeepSeaPort, Dangote Refinery, Dangote Fertilizer, etc... ImageImageImageImage
On 4th April 2007, Governor Tinubu was talking about permanent solution to Bar Beach problem in Lagos..announcing to Lagosians permanent solution to the Bar Beach issue. That was the coming forth of Eko Atlantic City. We now have Multibillion projects there. NIGERIA CAN DO IT!
No, Gov Tinubu didn't take any of those steps just because "Lagos was former FCT", & Gov Elrufai of Kaduna State has practically demonstrated this now in his 8Yrs that any State in Nigeria can compete in Economy & Infrastructure provided they have thinking & AUDACIOUS leaders!
So Gov Tinubu within his 8 years built something that others could build upon & Gov Fashola, Ambode & Sanwoolu have demonstrated that Sub National can build prosperous Nigeria at their pace.
So, imagine that we had worthy 35 Governors btw 1999-2007 that successors could BUILD on! ImageImage
What is the focal point? We need to concentrate more on the Sub Nationals instead of focusing so much at the FG.
Kano State has been fortunate with Governors, Donald Duke was the only Governor so far we can remember Legacy Project traced to in Cross River, Akpabio in Akwa Ibom...
Many States are just finding their bearing after 16yrs of practicing Democracy.
Audacious Leaders now springing up: Elrufai for Kaduna, Umuahi for Ebonyi & a few others.
Lagos should no longer be a victim of its own success or the victim of the failure of other States!
WAKE UP!

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES & THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

The parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30 was such an all time story that defines WORK, LAZINESS, WICKEDNESS, CAPACITY, PRODUCTIVITY etc in different light.
Fortunately, the leading Candidates can mirror this Parable! Image
In Physics, work is said to have been done when an object moves through a certain distance in the direction of applied force: w = f x d

But in the parable of the talents, WORKING & SWEATING to BURY talents you ought to INVEST in the name of "I SAVED MONEY" was tagged LAZINESS🤣
Four Candidates given talents to display in 8 moonlights, their report cards are in the open for all to see:
Candidate A
Candidate K
Candidate P
Candidate T

In 8 moonlights, Candidate A was known with poor sense of judgment, propensity to corruption, tendency to disloyalty...ETC ImageImage

STOP CONDEMNING NIGERIA, WE ARE DOING BETTER THAN MOST COUNTRIES, INCLUDING ENGLAND AND AMERICA
DR. SUNDAY ADELAJA
writes from Ukraine.

I am starting this year with a message to my countrymen Nigerians.
Today I choose to celebrate Nigeria.
I’m tired and fed up of all the evil reports. While I don’t deny all the issues and failures of our nation and in particular of our leaders, I want to intentionally move away from all the stories of woes and point my country men to the other side of the coin.
There is always another side to any story as with any coin. So in Nigeria’s story there is also the other side that we hardly hear about. (In this article I’m using 60 years as an approximate age for Nigeria).

HOW BUHARI DIVIDED NIGERIA FURTHER...

You must have heard this narrative more than enough for the past 7 years of this Buhari admin...."Nigeria has never been this divided".
I have heard it EVERYWHERE including from religious gathering & religious leaders.
Have you probed this?
All that Buhari did to divide Nigeria further was to simply believe he was eligible to be lead as a Nigerian from the Northern part of the Country who also chose to be a Muslim by religious affiliation.
That was all the ingredient needed to divide Nigeria further. What else pls?
Oh, his many sins that divided Nigeria further was his claim of been MR INTEGRITY...That SPECIFIC word USUALLY unsettles MANY religious leaders whose consciences are suddenly exposed to x-ray of what they ought to be but the contrary is what they become. Which Integrity?🤣
