A Nigerian Story. They Have Come Again. No-one really knows what to do about this maddeningly frustrating country, Nigeria, not even Nigerians themselves. I have watched the highlights of the linkedin.com/posts/chinenye…

@FaraiMazhindu Reading your post seems to point to ideological issues. All governments borrow - the question is for what and there isn't a single comment on what the loans are being applied to. Can you share more details on this?

Ibrahim Traore continues to deceive the public with the narrative that he remains in power to protect Burkina Faso from Western influence. However, since he seized power in 2022, nearly every major initiative has been financed by the very institutions he vilifies in his speeches. The financial record is clear, in 2023, he secured $302 million from the IMF, followed by another $124.3 million in February 2026. His reliance on the World Bank is equally stark, having received $167 million and $100.4 million in 2025, and an additional $216.9 million in 2026. He delivers angry speeches to the masses while accepting budgets from the West, the very entity he claims to be blocking is literally keeping Burkina Faso's economy afloat. Traore is contractually obligated to follow IMF Governance Diagnostics regarding mining and state spending. While he preaches freedom, he is managing a $942.8 million tab with Western banks, a debt that future generations must repay. Despite his anti-Western rhetoric, Traore has voluntarily placed Burkina Faso's economic steering wheel in the hands of Washington based technocrats. The tragedy is that many fail to look past his hollow words to see the reality beneath. Ibrahim Traore is not a liberator, he is a fraud already clinging to power.

I clicked through a few of these then subscribed (since there was no upper age limit). Each day, I scratch my (bald) head wondering if only my mates and I had the kind of amazing resources like this freely available...Yeah right. Still it is such a wonderful world for coders.

@OjiChioma1 It's all on us, (and shameful tbh) that you have to work so hard to convince us that you are what you so obviously are: beauty, brains and talent. Unsolicited advice: be like Salman Khan - ignore the look-back people, focus on the look-forward people , go global

@asemota Curiosity is at the heart of human development. And I agree that it isn't a trait that's encouraged in either education or society. Anymore. That means it once was. Curiosity burns energy the average Nigerian needs for the daily, desperate hustle. No excuses, just fact. Go verify

Hypothesis: The average Nigerian is not curious; we keep looking for excuses for our lack of deep thinking. Can this be changed? Yes, but it is already too late for most people, who are set in their ways. Poor education did not help. What if this can be changed? What if there is a research-backed course for business owners in Nigeria where you learn from each other and case studies about previous entrepreneurs? What if we called this new course the "Oga of Business Innovation - OBI" program? Yesterday, I realized that my Nigerian MBA didn't teach me practical entrepreneurship skills, just theories and a title that would enable me to get a great job elsewhere. I looked at the title again, "Master of Business Administration." The truth was there all along. I never learned to be an Oga but an administrator. That is why Harvard and others offer the Owner, Manager courses, which are very different from their MBA programs. What if we can do this for the man on the streets? Watch this space.

Not sure I've ever felt helpless like I did yesterday & I'll share the reason with you. People need to understand the difference between the Nigerian government professing Ease of Doing Business on paper but doing the opposite in real life. Let me show you in a short thread!

@TechnoVisionCom @TomiDee @isponnigeria $3m in the hock, we were hounded out by a disastrous Ayade administration, our facility vandalised, the dream killed. With @isponnigeria and stakeholders, we put the amazing city of Calabar on the tech map, spawning great innovators like Uduak Akpabio who made it all worthwhile.
