Electricity is not a luxury.
It is the bloodstream of development.
No nation has industrialised in darkness.
Factories do not run on speeches.
Hospitals do not function on promises.
Data centres do not operate on hope.
They run on power.
Nigeria keeps announcing reforms, summits, committees and five year plans. Yet government officials drive brand new SUVs to offices powered by generators. The same leaders who preach austerity burn diesel every day just to keep air conditioners on.
A country where ministries hum louder from generators than from productivity cannot compete globally.
Let us be honest.
Without constant power, Nigeria’s GDP will struggle to sustainably cross 500 billion dollars. Manufacturing will remain stunted. Tech startups will bleed capital on fuel. Small businesses will inflate prices to survive energy costs. Foreign investors will calculate diesel expenses before calculating opportunity.
Electricity is not a sector problem. It is the foundation problem.
You can reform tax codes.
You can float the naira.
You can merge agencies.
You can borrow from the World Bank.
If power is unstable, every reform becomes cosmetic.
The tragedy is not lack of resources.
The North has sun powerful enough to dominate solar generation across West Africa. The South has vast water bodies for hydro and oil and gas reserves that could stabilise thermal power plants.
But instead of building transmission lines and solar farms, we argue tribe and religion in the North. Instead of engineering infrastructure in the South, too many are engineering ways to siphon public funds.
Energy policy has been held hostage by incompetence, politics and corruption.
Until Nigeria produces abundant, reliable electricity, we will continue exporting raw materials and importing finished goods. We will continue celebrating small economic rebounds while remaining structurally weak.
Power is productivity.
Power is security.
Power is industrialisation.
Power is dignity.
Fix electricity first.
Everything else is noise.
Coastal road is a scam, doesn’t matter if it was funded by “private investors”
The government part, that 30% or whatever should have been spent on electricity
Lol this is not true but hey I understand
Same way I understand Reno
I closed underperforming locations during a turbulent period. The remaining ones are more profitable than they were 3 years ago with wider footprint.
Next time you want to talk business, start by taking off that replica Cartier. Some of us actually sell the original.
I run businesses in a real economy. You run commentary. Different jobs!
Stay in your lane. 🙏🏾
You hate Israel to the point that you want to hijack a plane and kill yourself and others?
Is this not madness?
There is no tribe called “ibos” and yes there is nothing like marginalisation
Dear Ibos,
The Constitution says you're free to work and live anywhere in the country, but it did not say the people must love you.
It is not my duty to love you. I can choose to hate you if I want. If you choose to live among people who hate you, then you need to stop complaining about hatred.
Tribalism, bigotry and hatred is a full-time job here. You must swallow all the shege we show you in peace. If you cannot swallow it, your next option is to relocate to where you're loved.
I am not doing any one Nigeria with you. I don't want to be united with you. I don't want to have anything to do with you. And I will show that to you at every chance I get.
You must either accept your fate or go to where you are loved.
Lol comments locked! 🤣
At a private dinner in Paris yesterday evening with His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose bold and forward-thinking reforms have put our economy firmly on a path of sustainable growth.
The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more.
I remain proud of you, Mr. President! 🇳🇬

They don’t even ask her for hair cut or beard oil money
Men need to learn from women
Some men sef. A lady asks you out and you accepts, then you are the one proposing a date immediately to take her out? You can’t tell her you will think about it? You can’t bill her over time? You can’t let her apply pressure to show she is serious with you?
Zero self-respect and desperation. No wonder they say men are so cheap!

Well... I'm Susan I'm that August 22 girl — Leo heart, Virgo brain. Warm, loyal, and I love building things — whether it's my brand Wanadelite, or a meaningful connection.
I run a small organic drinks business in Lagos, but outside work I'm really just a simple, family-oriented woman who loves good laughter, good food, and peace of mind.
I value respect, effort, and a man who knows what he wants and is not afraid to be intentional.
I'm looking for someone intentional, God-fearing, hardworking, and kind. Someone I can grow with.
Yes I agree
