i sat for a course organised by oxford and we were asked to share policies our govt successfully implemented to cushion the effect of covid-19. while my coursemates from different parts of the world were sharing sound policies, “hoarding palliatives” was just ringing in my head
I hate when Nigerians speak ill of Nigeria to foreigners as a conversation starter or filler. I’m not saying sugarcoat it. But come on, that can not be your crutch to hold conversations. Agbaya.

for someone who is very optimistic about nigeria’s destiny, how do you even say that outside without a deep sense of shame, even when it is a hard fact? and this was not even a conversation starter or filler, it was a direct question

I spoke to one HR professional that left Nigeria to Canada almost a year ago, she said most of the things she was doing as HR in Nigeria, if she tried it in Canada, she would be in jail. The broken Nigerian system enables and emboldens bad behaviour.

supremely honoured to have been a part of the drafting of this act, which is easily one of the most important pieces of legislation today and in the years ahead.
President Tinubu has signed a bill that will protect the citizens’ personal data. The Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 is also predicted to create about 500,000 job opportunities for Data Protection Officers.

i settled for the tax rebate policy positioned only for registered companies via the economic stimulus bill. i recall concluding by lauding its good intention but flagging that the nigerian economy is largely informal so most nigerians may not have benefited from the policy

@The_olakunle
the problem with policies in nigeria is that we do not take monitoring and evaluation seriously to test our policy’s effectiveness. only with that will you know whether to discontinue, finetune or scale up the policy, —or at the bare minimum for education and future planning.

Lost a lecturer that taught me at Law School, last month.
A eulogy by a fellow lecturer said: "as I could humanly see, I testify that in Sa'adDeen Ibrahim there was no wickedness."
I can testify too.
I pray, in my absence, the same can be said about me & people will testify.

I have always been convinced that the prosperity of Africa is intrinsically tied to the prosperity of Nigeria. Now more than ever I’m convinced the prosperity of the entire black race is tied to Nigeria. The destiny of this country is bigger than what we can conceive.

guessed you missed the actual response below. regardless, assuming i stuck with my first thought, the hoarding of palliatives did happen and what we are not going to do here is trivialize the negative impact for the sake of “preserving an image”
.
I think there’s something pathologically wrong with us as Nigerians. While other countries reckon with BOTH the successes AND failures of their Covid policymaking, something very tragic seems to compel us to focus only on our own negatives.
It’s very ignorant to think other

regardless, after the elections, we must focus on building better party structures, if we want a political system that is sustainable. we can’t always rely on the character of one man or a few good people. history teaches and we must learn.

''The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge''
I don't know why some people condemn gathering at Late Abba Kyari's funeral. This calls to question whether we want to run a communist state or capitalist one.
Abba Kyari was a senior citizen & statesman, his burial couldn't have been same with that of others
This is capitalism

If you intend to start reading about Nigeria's politics, don't start with any historical text or treatise, start with Achebe's - A Man of the People. You must accept that politics in Nigeria is a satire before anything else.

i’m less concerned about the outcome because in a democracy, we deserve the leaders we elect, my disappointment steams from truncating the process. this is personal because after 2019 we worked to provide a legal/policy basis for a better electoral process to avoid this in ‘23.

Despite U.K's economy set to contract by 11.3% this year, their largest fall in 300yrs. The U.K. still announced a 2.2% increase to the national living wage, from £8.72 to £8.91 (N4,500) per hour.
This means you can earn Nigeria's minimum wage of 30k/month in less than 7 hours.
