This is one of the main reasons many Nigerians were skeptical about the removal of the subsidy - there is a strong concern that wastage and frivolous spending by the political class would only worsen. Scenes like this only reinforce that belief. So sad.

Lol... "Poor people" don suffer for this app. Well, I’ve experienced the impact of not having a permanent address firsthand. You can call it a conservative view, but for me, owning a house comes first - before mutual funds or any other investments.

Eskiss me Sa? Can you clearly define banking? If so, you may need to reconsider this post, and possibly take it down with an apology.

Permit me to suggest a virtual session. This approach helps avoid additional overhead costs associated with administering these punishments. Flight costs to Abuja for over six officers could amount to over N3m - funds that could be better utilised at the police station.

This seems to be the new tactic for driving views on X - create an alarmist post, make people speculate, and then drive views, engagement, and ultimately payouts. The paid blue tick is beginning to show more downsides than benefits.

While the Banks dependency claim is not entirely accurate based on current realities, you may also want to consider why they are not pursuing a standard banking licence. Banking extends far beyond payments and technology.

Just so you know, Microfinance banks must also hold accounts with commercial Banks. So you can't cut out commercial banks just yet.

Wetin Officer Woos and Remote de do 😭😭💔

@eboayodeji Thank you very much.

Nigeria Treasury Bills Issuance Programme – Q2 2026 The CBN plans to issue about ₦3.95 trillion in Treasury Bills in Q2 2026, with a strong tilt toward the 364-day tenor (₦2.85 trillion), reflecting continued investor preference for longer-dated instruments. With maturing bills estimated at ₦3.20 trillion, the programme implies a net liquidity mop-up of ~₦750 billion, reinforcing a tight monetary stance. Yields are likely to remain elevated, making fixed income instruments attractive. However, tighter liquidity may limit short-term equity market upside, while sustaining demand for high-yield, low-risk assets. Positive for fixed income investors; mildly restrictive for equities in the near term.

NIGERIA UPDATE - Nigeria’s Growth Crisis Is a Talent-Allocation Crisis - by: Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai - 1st April, 2026 - Part 1 Nigeria is often described as a paradox. We are a nation of extraordinary human capital—energetic, inventive, resilient—yet our economic outcomes fall persistently short of our potential. Growth remains shallow, productivity weak, firms struggle to scale, and prosperity does not spread widely enough. Today, I want to advance a clear and uncomfortable proposition: Nigeria’s growth problem is not primarily a shortage of talent, capital, or ideas. It is a problem of where our best talent goes—and why. This is not a moral argument about individuals. It is a political-economy argument about incentives. 1. The Core Insight: Talent Follows Returns Across societies and across history, highly capable people choose occupations that offer the highest returns to ability, especially where small differences in skill translate into large rewards. Economists describe this as increasing returns to talent. When those returns are highest in entrepreneurship, innovation, and production, economies grow. When those returns are highest in rent-seeking—activities that redistribute existing wealth rather than create new value—growth slows or stalls . People do not wake up intending to harm their country. They respond rationally to incentives. So the right question for Nigeria is not “Why are people corrupt?” It is: “What activities does our system reward most handsomely?” 2. Nigeria’s Current Incentive Structure Let us be honest about Nigeria’s reality. •GDP growth was about 4.1% in 2024, respectable on paper but insufficient for a country with our demographics. •GDP per capita remains around US$1,084, placing Nigeria among lower-income economies despite our scale. •Informal employment accounts for roughly 93% of the labour force, meaning most firms are small, fragile, and defensive rather than scalable. •Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio is only about 8.2%, one of the lowest in Africa—signalling weak fiscal capacity and heavy reliance on discretionary collection rather than broad, rule-based taxation. These numbers are not abstract. They describe an economy where scale is risky, visibility attracts predation, and long-term investment struggles to compete with short-term access. In such an environment, the most capable Nigerians often find that the fastest and safest returns come not from building large, productive enterprises—but from proximity to state power, regulatory discretion, political brokerage, or legal and administrative contestation. This is exactly the mechanism identified in the economic literature: when the “market” for rent-seeking is large, talent flows there . 3. Why Rent-Seeking Damages Growth Rent-seeking harms an economy in three cumulative ways. First, it absorbs labour and capital without creating output. Resources are spent competing over existing wealth rather than expanding the economic frontier. Second, it acts like a tax on productive activity. Businesses face delays, uncertainty, informal payments, and arbitrary enforcement—raising costs and discouraging investment. Third—and most damaging—it diverts the very people who would otherwise be the most productive entrepreneurs and innovators. When the brightest minds are pulled away from production, the quality of entrepreneurship falls, technological progress slows, and the economy’s long-run growth rate declines . This is why rent-seeking does not merely lower income levels; it can permanently reduce growth.
