@Eregechi12 @Northorious Mai zafi kam! 🤣🤣🤣

@Northorious I can imagine his fear. If na me da na yi pisari a jiki na. God bless you for what you did.

Someone mistakenly sent a sum of "Two Million, two hundred and sixty thousand Naira only" (2,260,000) to my Opay yesterday, I was pressing my phone when I saw the notification on my Opay, I had to look again to be so sure. Yes, Indeed it's the sum of that amount. I kept pressing my phone knowing fully the owner would account to why he sent it... Then immediately my phone rang, I picked, it was a deep confusing voice, whom at the very best shall start with Salam, but I knew why he didn't. He was confused and stammering, I smiled and asked him to calmly say why he called. And so he began. "Dan Allah ka taimakeni, nayi mistake ne na turo ma kudi" nace mai har nawa? Ya ce "Miliyan biyu da dubu dari biyu da sittin". Nace "Aiko ban gansu ba, ka tabbatar da nan ka turo su?" Yai wani dogon salati😅😅. I had to burst into a loud laugher and asked him to calm down, that I saw the cash and I'm sending it to him on the same number he sent it. He obliged while deeply thanking me. I did as promised, saved his number and shared him the receipt. Immediately, I received yet another notification of 50k from same number and I sent it back without further meditation, knowing fully it's a token of appreciation. I sent it not because I'm sufficient of the amount, no, the amount is a big percentage of my monthly salary but because I believe I don't have to be paid for being kind, and of course for doing what I must do. He called and was appreciating me like I liberate him from going to hell. I thought, even if it's a business dealings, I'm certain the business profit would not be upto that 50k, or maybe it's a part saving from his savings, then why do I think I worth that huge amount for just being generous to what if I didn't he might still get back his money through legal proceedings. But alas! It happened and for good, we now became friends who Maybe would be of a greater benefit to eachother. But then a thought strikes me, why would one be using "Fintech accounts" to execute such a massive transaction? What if the Opay I'm using is a Tier that can't accommodate such amount and it immediately went on "Post No Debit" PND that I had to provide things to make an upgrade, or I bought a registered SIM card and was using it, what if I went to a POS guys far from my reach, transfer the money and crack the simcard, would I be traced and be arraigned? Yes using "Fintech accounts" is secured, most of which were licensed and insured by both CBN and NDIC, but again, quick resolution is the my main concern here, how much time would it takes you to secure a court order for the immediately release of such mistakenly sent funds, not that alone, how many of the people using those accounts can formulate a very straight to the point mails to the appropriate units and department for reversal.? Many people have to forsaken their lost, mistaken or wrongly transferred funds due to lack of knowledge of how to retract their cash. No matter how dull one is, commercial Banks would have you covered, wherever you're and whatever language you speak, there's always someone at the front desk of conventional banks that would see to your complains and Resolution is quick. Most bank's "Service Level Agreement" SLA is 48hrs max and they'd avail you with the next step forward to better resolution. And for business owners, though, in the North, it's still Taboo collecting loans from Banks. But with those Conventional banks you have access to loans and business development consultancy... You can do better...

@Samjiga @sowore Hmmm interesting… 🤔

I have read about the court-ordered detention of an individual known as B-Lord, and I must say this clearly that no one should celebrate the incarceration of any person under the color of law. I have reached out to my astute rights lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, urging him to disengage from the process. We must all agree that sending B-Lord to prison is not a victory for legal brilliance or advocacy. Rather, it risks emboldening a system of oppression that weaponizes the law against citizens. Justice must never be reduced to punishment for its own sake. I will work to ensure this case is discontinued and B-Lord is released without further delay.

@elrufai Nigeria is like Avatar - a nation endowed with immense power, yet lacking the consciousness to wield it. We mistake noise for progress and mediocrity for excellence, while those who understand the language of power come, organize, and quietly take what we fail to use… 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. From Allah SWT we came and to Him we shall all return. I would like to inform the public of the demise of my Grandmother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai who passed away a few hours ago. She is the biological mother of our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai.

Carabao cup is like a preseason trophy where you learn and prepare for the bigger trophies. EPL, Champions league and Fa cup is the target. This is a very good lesson for the Arsenal boys, good warmup. The best will be back for the bigger trophies. Let’s go Arsenal💪

Another F1 World Champion sharing their opinion on the new regulations ⚡️

@AgberoFcBAT @CaptJamyl Yes, infrastructure matters, but that doesn’t mean individual effort and investment should stop. People build, adapt, and grow even within imperfect systems, that’s how progress begins.

@AgberoFcBAT @CaptJamyl You’re doing fuzzy maths and barking up the wrong tree. Do you expect people to fold their arms and just exist because there’s an infrastructure deficit? What exactly is your solution, since you already have all the statistics?

I wish myself and few of my well to do brothers can open a “Shark Tank” in the North to help Youths in Business. Find potentials, invest in their business, co-own and see where it goes. I firmly believe that this initiative is feasible. It has the potential to mitigate numerous challenges in the North, create job opportunities, and reduce the reliance on government assistance. Please note that “North” encompasses all individuals, those who reside in the region regardless of their tribe, religion, or ethnicity. However, the business ventures must be domiciled in the North. We can build a lot of lives… No one will do it for us, but us.
