Having refineries alone won’t automatically crash fuel prices — it mainly improves availability. Crude oil is an international commodity, and its pricing is influenced by the global market. Follow for more energy and economic insights. #doyouget?

@Omojuwa Please chexk your DM Sir. 😆

Someone reached out to me via Twitter about 2 years ago. I didn’t know him from anywhere. Narrated his problems. I got a friend to send him N300k. His solution became my loan. Note that before then I didn’t know this person from nada. I also didn’t care to even check out their story. So, first ever engagement, N300k debit. He thanks me. Disappears. I get dragged online. Silence. I announce small and big wins. Silence. Football. Silence. Everything. Silence. Next message. Financial assistance and job. No in-between. DM. 1 hour later, “check your DM” like say I dey owe gbese. I am certain there is a world where some people see me as some robot that is there just to be used. If you are this way, stop it. Treat others like humans. At least.

The link between Result-Based Lending and Escrow-Based Lending lies in controlled disbursement — escrow ensures that funds are paid to the rightful party once agreed milestones are achieved. Follow me for more insights. #doyouget?

@anthonyetim @DrJoeAbah @pokigbo Democracy in a society where majority are poor and uneducated will, at best, be 'manipulcracy' because the political class will continually use those same tools to manipulate the majority.

@DrJoeAbah @pokigbo The key difference is: ... democracy. "Democracy only becomes useful after a society has achieved enough education and prosperity that life is no longer a fight for basics". ~ Lee Kuan Yew (paraphrased).

A little while ago, my brother @pokigbo invited me to join a small book club of select people. Every month, we read a topical book, meet at his lovely home, discuss the book for two hours, and then enjoy a sumptuous dinner prepared by his beautiful, intelligent wife. Last Saturday, we met in his home to discuss the book ‘How China Escaped The Poverty Trap’ by Yuen Yuen Ang. Remarkably, we were joined online by the author herself and in person by the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria who shared his lived, empirical experiences of China’s transformation. I actually gave up watching a crucial Arsenal match and braved the Abuja rain to join. 😀 What I found most remarkable about the book was how China used what it already had, including imperfect institutions, to lift their people out of poverty. They did not wait until they had “strong institutions” or to eliminate corruption, before they led their people to prosperity. It was growth and economic prosperity that led to stronger institutions, not the other way round. They used what could be called ‘Directed Improvisation’ where Beijing set out a vision and then allowed the provinces to innovate and compete among each other. Anything that worked in one province was encouraged and replicated elsewhere. It was humbling that cities like Shenzen alone had double the GDP of Nigeria! And there weee many more cities! It was a refreshing break from the mud pit that Twitter can be. And no, you cannot join because he carefully curated who he invited, and each participant brought a particular perspective that complemented others'. From policy makers to academics to senior government officials (current and former) to young men and women. Although you can’t join this particular book club, you can start your own book club, since I’ve shared his template with you. 😀 I look forward to next month’s book, the informed discussions and intellectual sword crossings, and the lovely dinner and good wine. 😀
