I will never understand th obsession about Lagos.

You can build the most impressive project in the world, but if your stakeholder engagement fails, the project will most likely fail. Governance starts with communication, and effective communication means being able to reach the people you govern in a language they understand. That is the point here. He had four years to prepare, understand the environment and improve his ability to communicate with the people he wanted to govern, yet chose not to. That tells me something about his approach. Look at Adeleke. When he first ran for governor and the issue of his educational qualification became a major campaign issue, he went back to school, obtained the qualification and that issue largely disappeared from subsequent campaigns. If you genuinely want to govern a people, you have to meet them where they are, including being able to communicate with them effectively. And please, don’t tell me this is uniquely a Nigerian or Lagos issue. Look at Canada. Michael Rousseau, Air Canada’s CEO, lost his job because of his inability to speak in French, Canada’s second official language. Shark Tank billionaire, Kevin O’Leary’s attempt to become Prime Minister was opposed over his limited French, and he ultimately withdrew from the race. Canada current trade war with US was partly because it insist on French for American products. Mind you only two provinces has French as official language in the country. Language is not merely about speaking words. It is about connection, accessibility, trust and demonstrating that you understand the people you seek to lead. No matter how good your intentions are, people who take pride in their language and culture are not obligated to accept a leader who cannot effectively communicate with them in the language they use in their daily lives. If you want to govern people, meeting them at their level is not an unreasonable demand. It is part of leadership.

So this is German.

The people that amazes me most are the people that claimed to get international education but didn’t take time to learn how what they benefited from was paid for. Your example is both wrong and comparing eggs to apples. The least you should have done is make a realistic comparison that aligns to facts. That is exactly why Germany is a poor comparison. Germany can offer tuition-free public university (not in all cases, but at least they do) because it has the tax base to pay for it. Germany’s tax-to-GDP ratio is about 38%, compared with just 8.2% for Nigeria. In other words, Germany collects almost 5 times as much tax relative to the size of its economy, let that sink in. So German university isn’t really “free.” Someone paid for it. The cost is largely paid collectively through taxes. Nigerians cannot demand German-style free university while resisting the kind of taxation needed to fund German-style public services. And we have seen the reality in Nigeria. Recent attempts to reform and increase government revenue through tax was faced with significant public resistance, especially when people are already dealing with high living costs, which is understandable. But other African countries are in similar or worse situations and their taxes are on the average twice ours, but we always and often want the best without contributing to the purse. I agree that poor students shouldn’t be priced out of university. The answer is not simply “make them pay ₦1m.” It should be government funding + reasonable tuition + scholarships for students who need them + student loans. But pretending that university education has no cost doesn’t solve the problem. Someone has to pay. The real question is whether the cost should be paid entirely by taxpayers, entirely by students, or shared between everyone. Knowing my people we all know the answer, so would you support your taxes to be raised for government to afford that?

God bless you for saying the facts. It is amazing how some Nigerians arrive abroad and suddenly become ashamed of African churches, as if everything African must be inferior simply because they are now in Canada. This is particularly common with Nigerians and it is so repulsive. I have lived in Canada long before some of this JAPA crowd even had a passport, and I have attended both predominantly White churches and African churches at different times. So I am speaking from actual experience, not assumptions or stereotypes. Apart from the greater sense of individual “freedom” to do you and no one is holding you accountable that some White churches provide, and perhaps better facilities because many of these churches have been established here for decades and have greater resources, I have not seen the magical superiority that most of the wannabe Uncle Tom constantly preach about. In fact, I can give you countless examples of what African churches actually do for their communities. I once had a medical emergency. Those supposedly “problematic” African church members people love to demonize were at my house before the ambulance arrived. They didn’t send thoughts and prayers from a distance. They showed up and was there every single day, with food, prayers, calls, even offering their token though I didn’t need it God’s Grace. Even the hospital knew a black family was admitted and I had to personally stop them from coming at a point. I know a woman who gave birth and was struggling because she had no help. Her White church friends brought her flowers. Meanwhile, her best friend who attends an African church told her she can’t relate as she did not cook for over two months when she had her child because church members were bringing food. People took turns caring for the baby, helping around the house and supporting her through those first few months. During the period when Canada admitted large numbers of international students and many Nigerians found themselves stranded and struggling, I personally know an African church that practically became a support/welfare centre. They found places for students to stay with church members, provided groceries and other necessities, and in some cases helped with school-related expenses. The scale of the crisis became overwhelming, but they still stood by those students. Meanwhile, I remember a White church where I knew of one student who received some support. One of their members who is my friend actually came up to me and asked, “What is wrong with Nigerians?” That interaction told me everything I needed to know about the limits of their understanding of the situation. I could give you another 100 examples. Does that mean African churches are perfect? Absolutely not. There are problems, just as there are problems in White churches, Black churches, immigrant churches and every other institution made up of human beings. But this lazy narrative that African churches are somehow backward, toxic or inferior while Western churches are automatically enlightened needs to stop. I have attended White churches. I have gotten close enough to see what goes on beyond the polished services, beautiful facilities and carefully curated image. Every church has its own problems. So if you don’t like African churches, don’t attend them. Find the church that works for you and leave other people alone. But spare us the sermon about how African churches are somehow beneath you simply because you now live in Canada or wherever you are. Some of those churches you are so quick to ridicule are feeding people, housing people, helping new immigrants survive, caring for new mothers, supporting students and showing up when people are in genuine trouble. Talk about the problems, by all means. But don’t erase the enormous amount of good these churches do simply because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Rubbish!
