📍 Usi - Ekiti, Ekiti-State.

@oprahayo Beautiful take right here……if only

If Ekiti Was Thinking Straight… ₦24 Billion Would’ve Changed Lives, Not Flyovers Let’s be honest, that ₦24 billion flyover project at Ijigbo is another example of government chasing beauty over sense. Ado-Ekiti doesn’t even have 10 minutes of traffic except when “BAO at Work” blocks the road for pictures. Now imagine if that same ₦24 billion was used wisely: ₦5 Billion “Invest in Ekiti” Fund 👉 Bring small manufacturing companies here, food processing, solar assembly, packaging, furniture, textiles. 👉 Give them land, security, and tax-free years to start. 👉 That alone would create real jobs for our youths. ₦4 Billion for Youth Enterprise Fund 👉 Give genuine business people small loans and grants (₦500k–₦2m). 👉 No fake empowerment or one-day training. Real support for real hustlers. ₦3 Billion – Fix Internal Roads 👉 Repair roads inside Ado, Ikere, Ijero, Aramoko, not just build flyovers. 👉 Roads that open up trade, not roads that block common people. ₦2 Billion – Power for Business Areas 👉 Provide solar energy for markets, workshops, and rural businesses. 👉 Let barbers, welders, and small shops work without begging NEPA. ₦5 Billion – Agro Storage and Off-Take Program 👉 Build cold rooms and storage centres across the state. 👉 Buy farm produce directly from farmers, stop the waste and losses. ₦5 Billion – Education & Skills Program 👉 Work with ABUAD, FUOYE, and other schools to train 10,000 youths in ICT, hardware, and renewable energy. 👉 Not another empowerment talk show, real digital skills. That’s ₦24 Billion working for people, not ₦24 Billion buried in concrete. Ekiti’s problem is not lack of money. It’s lack of direction. We keep chasing beauty projects instead of business projects. Politics over productivity. Decoration over development. We need a take-off point for real people.

@gandanch I’m enjoying this your X series

Nigeria’s Trade Surplus: Why the Current Run is Different In my last reflections on why Asiwaju deserves a second term, I highlighted the importance of reforms and leadership focus. This time, I turn to trade an area where the numbers are sending a different kind of signal. From early 2023 until now, our economy has recorded surpluses that are both larger and more sustained than anything seen in over a decade. This is not business as usual. From Modest Gains to Record Highs Nigeria’s story began with modest surpluses in early 2023, climbed steadily through the year, and despite a setback in Q4 2023, rebounded with unprecedented strength. By 2024, surpluses were measured in trillions, peaking at ₦6.9 trillion in Q2. In 2025, the momentum has not only been sustained but has accelerated, with the Q2 figure reaching ₦7.46 trillion — the highest in recent history. Why This Surplus Stands Out 1Consistency over time: Previous surpluses often came from a sudden spike in oil prices or a temporary dip in imports. This time, the trend has lasted six straight quarters. That level of consistency is new. 2A broader export base: While crude oil still anchors our earnings, its share has fallen to just over half. Refined petroleum, natural gas, urea, cocoa, cashew, and other non-oil products are now part of the picture. The story is no longer oil alone. 3Policy impact: Reforms around FX, subsidy removal, and export incentives have pushed the private sector to respond. For once, policy and production are pulling in the same direction. 4Disciplined imports: Fuel imports have fallen, local alternatives are rising, and the weaker naira has discouraged unnecessary foreign spending. Our import bill is becoming smarter, not heavier. What It Means for Nigerians This surplus is more than a statistic. It signals stronger external reserves, a more stable naira, and breathing room for government policy. It reflects a Nigeria that is slowly but surely learning to diversify its economy. For citizens, it is proof that with the right reforms, our economy can generate stability and opportunity. The Everyday Impact For the average Nigerian, the effects of the trade surplus may feel distant, but they are real: •Exchange rate stability: A stronger surplus helps steady the naira, reducing sudden jumps in the price of imported food, clothing, or tuition. •Prices and inflation: Inflation, which peaked above 22% in early 2025, has now eased for four straight months, reaching 20.1% in August 2025, the lowest in nearly two years. This slowdown, helped by trade gains and food price easing, means households face less severe price shocks. •Jobs and industry growth: Rising non-oil exports such as cocoa, cashew, and urea are creating new work opportunities along the value chain. •Government capacity: Stronger trade revenues give government more room to invest in infrastructure and social services that affect everyday life. •Fuel and energy costs: With fewer fuel imports and more local refining, Nigerians may eventually see more stability in pump prices, though this benefit is not yet fully felt. Focused Leadership Amidst Noise It is also important to note that this progress has come in the midst of distractions and criticisms. The current administration has remained focused on reforms, resisting pressure to abandon tough but necessary decisions. By staying the course on FX unification, subsidy removal, and trade policy, government has laid the groundwork for results that are now visible in both our trade balance and easing inflation. This discipline shows that when leadership is not swayed by noise, the economy can move in the right direction. Conclusion Nigeria’s trade surplus is record-breaking and reform-driven, proving what is possible when policy and production align. May God bless Nigeria, and may He grant Asiwaju wisdom, strength, and good health to continue leading with courage and vision.

Ogun State Since 1999: Steady Growth and the Distinct Leadership of His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON In my last article, I shared reflections on Nigeria’s economic reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and why the choices being made at the national level matter for our collective future. Today, I turn my attention homeward to Ogun State to trace our progress since 1999 and highlight how His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON (PDA), is charting a distinct and hopeful path for our people. Chief Olusegun Osoba (1999–2003): Rebuilding Foundations Chief Osoba’s second coming as governor was about restoration. At a time when Ogun was emerging from military rule, he emphasized free education, grassroots development, and rekindled public trust in governance. His administration provided the platform for the growth that followed. Otunba Gbenga Daniel (2003–2011): Expansion and Industrial Drive Otunba Daniel raised Ogun’s national and international profile by aggressively pursuing industrialization. He promoted the state as Nigeria’s “Gateway,” attracting companies and investments. Infrastructure, housing, and education also expanded under his watch, giving Ogun a new level of visibility. Senator Ibikunle Amosun (2011–2019): Infrastructure and Urban Renewal Senator Amosun is remembered for his ambitious infrastructure program. Flyovers, bridges, and urban renewal projects reshaped Abeokuta and other towns, while new roads opened up opportunities for business and trade. His administration reinforced Ogun’s position as a manufacturing and commercial hub, drawing industries from across Nigeria. His Excellency Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON (2019–present): A New Era of Discipline and Transparency When PDA assumed office in 2019, Ogun faced both promise and pressure. Since then, he has distinguished himself by marrying growth with fiscal prudence and transparency. Economic Growth: Ogun’s internally generated revenue (IGR) has nearly doubled in five years. From about ₦70–80 billion in 2019, it rose to ₦100.7 billion in 2021, ₦120.58 billion in 2022, and ₦146.87 billion in 2023. This performance placed Ogun fourth nationwide, behind only Lagos, FCT, and Rivers, confirming it as one of Nigeria’s most fiscally resilient states. Fiscal Responsibility: Independent assessments rank Ogun among the upper tier of sustainable states. The BudgIT 2024 State of States report placed Ogun third in its ability to fund government without relying heavily on federal allocations. PDA has also ensured that borrowing is tied to productive infrastructure that generates value. Transparency: A defining hallmark of his administration is openness. Quarterly budget implementation reports are now published consistently, giving citizens and investors a clear view of how funds are allocated and spent. Balanced Development: PDA has broadened infrastructure beyond the capital to include rural roads, border communities, and industrial clusters. He has paired this with strong commitments to social investment, including ₦23 billion allocated to education and ₦5.7 billion to health in the 2024 budget. Recent implementation reports show progress in basic education and primary healthcare, reflecting attention to both physical projects and people. Why PDA Stands Out What sets PDA apart is his governance style: steady, transparent, and balanced. By combining fiscal discipline with social investment, he has positioned Ogun not just as Lagos’ neighbor but as a state capable of standing firmly on its own. Conclusion: A Hopeful Ogun From 1999 to today, Ogun has advanced through phases of rebuilding, expansion, and modernization. Under PDA, the state has entered a new era one where fiscal discipline and transparency guide development, and where progress is measured not only in roads and bridges but also in education, healthcare, and opportunities for the people. The future is hopeful: Ogun is becoming a national model of responsible, people-centered governance.

@oprahayo @orangeserverllc 💯 truth

The Hidden Killer of Nigerian Businesses: Not Laziness, But Policies In 2020, I turned the tools I used for building websites into a side business, a hosting brand. That’s how @orangeserverllc was born. Customers came in, life was sweet. Then one day in Abuja, news broke, Nigerian banks stopped naira cards from making foreign payments. That single policy wrecked everything. My customers paid me in naira, but my servers were billed in dollars. From that day, it became a battle I never won. I lost recurring customers. Some I had to personally help pay with dollar cards. Stressful, slow, draining. That was how @366host was born, to let people pay in naira. Servers were stable, customers trusted me, but reality remained, I was paying in USD while collecting in naira. When I started, $1 was ₦480. Before long, ₦600, ₦700, ₦800. My costs skyrocketed, but I couldn’t multiply customers’ subscriptions after they’d already paid. Imagine charging ₦25k/year for hosting, but midway through, you’re paying more than double monthly just to keep their websites alive 😮‍💨. I ran into debts. Got threats. Some even talked court. The business drained my finances, energy, and confidence. I shut down and went back to Orangeserver. But the scars remained. Let’s be real, if that reckless policy had never been introduced, by now my company would probably be one of Nigeria’s biggest hosting providers. So when I see Suji Motors vs EFCC trending, it hits different. Because here, the system itself fights entrepreneurs. One bad policy can scatter years of sweat. And when a business stumbles, instead of fixing the system, they drag your name, your brand, your life’s work. Suji built his brand for years. If there are issues, investigate. But destroying the man and the brand in one swoop? The government should have done better. Truth is: in Nigeria, it’s not laziness that kills businesses. It’s bad policies and inconsistency. We hustle, innovate, sacrifice sleep, yet the system doesn’t protect us. So if you’re building, think global, think dollar, think stability. Protect your hustle from naira wahala. And as a people, let’s stop mocking those who fall. Today it’s Suji, tomorrow it could be you or me. Encourage, don’t destroy. Build, don’t scatter. Because in this Nigeria, we’re all just hustling to breathe The Hidden Killer of Nigerian Businesses: Not Laziness, But Policies. Entrepreneurship here is not beans. It takes madness, stubbornness, blind faith. Yet we rise. #SujiMotors #EntrepreneurshipInNigeria #EFCC #Oprahayo #Entrepreneurship #Golegit

@CRawkeen Check @bokkumart and thank me later

My wife opened a new bank account and said I should only be putting money for household stuff and grocery shopping there. I saw it as a good idea. Sometimes, I just send 100k there, atimes, it's 50k. I could do that twice in a month especially since I know how expensive things are now.

@CRawkeen Have you compared bokku regular price to all these prices I’m seeing in your ad…. lol

Finally drawing a close to this chapter Tomorrow marks the graduation of Cohort 6 of the SDG Advocate Program, and I am beyond honored to have served as the Project Team Lead for this transformational journey.
