“Nigeria is not bad after all”

This is the exact same statement my friend told me today. This man is in the corridors of this administration and he gave me a glimpse of how money is changing hands in this present day Nigeria. Ladies and gentlemen, I am shocked. I am not going to disclose his name. Person I dey borrow money few years ago offered me $3000 as kola- in this economy?. If you are poor in Nigeria, you are not a citizen. You are just renting space. These men no dey regard us at all. This subsidy removal after all is the only thing Nigerians are benefiting from government—it’s removal just makes more money available for the politicians (in power) to waste. If you are poor and you support Tinubu, a fool is wiser than you. This my friend now claims God has answered his prayer. Who will help me ask God if he answers prayer this way.

Copart Miscellaneous Fees

I am not sure if anybody has experienced copart adding a miscellaneous fees to an invoice. Won a bid, initial invoice was $2145. I woke up the next morning to make payment and I saw miscellaneous fees of $200 twice. So additional $400 with no explanation. This is Day 2 and by day 3 they will charge storage fees.

Nigeria is not Angry enough

There will be a lot of typos so please bear with me.
We Nigerians have been praying that God should deliver Nigeria from corruption. We ask for a leader with integrity but when God offers one, we reject it. Other countries in the world are corrupt but the one in Nigeria is pathologic. It has crippled every fabric of development we have as a nation. In the 1970s, as bad as things were, Nigeria was at par with the Chinese, 50 years later, China is the 2nd most powerful country while Nigeria wallow in emptiness. Most corrupt nation.

Peter Obi as of today represents the only hope Nigeria has. ( considering the present crop of politicians we have and will have in the next 16 years). A man who has shown he can see $150 million dollars he can embezzle with a stroke of a pen ( executive order- pay $150 mil to company “xyz” for consultancy fees). Money gone, audit will not see anything illegal. But he left the money. This is after he delivered tremendously on education, healthcare, roads and infrastructure- I lived in Anambra those years- there were several communities that were separated from the rest of the state by rivers and large lakes- he built bridges. Paid pension for the first time since the state was created. Now people are arguing why did he save money, some argue that he put the money in the bank he has major share in. I had listened to people confidently argue this on national TV. And what I want to know is, assuming Peter is actually the owner of those banks, assuming he is the major shareholder, how much would he make from the money compared to if he had stolen the money, and still invest it in those banks? He would own the capital, the dividends, the capital gains and any more revenue as the majority shareholder of the bank. So this criminal decided to leave all this to only collect revenue as majority shareholder while the capital, capital gains, dividends belong to the state? He must be a naive thief.

Nigerians are very funny honestly.

Obi represents the only man that can fix the issue of embezzling public funds in Nigeria whether you like it or not. If it took 3 years to sink Nigeria like this, it can also take 4 years to put us back in the right direction.

I always maintain that being a Nigerian politician is the easiest way to become millionaire in dollars without enterprise.

Some people ask what can Peter Obi will do differently, my response is, God created us equal but we have different capabilities. There is a reason why 2 boys taught by the same teacher, read the same book, in the same condition- one took first position and the other last. There is no doubt that Obi will do well in Nigeria. He has the capacity to go after the cabals because he is rich and just. There is no leverage they can use on him.
