More Police or Better Policing. National Policing Bill - Draft under review. Not Federal vs State policing, it's federal and State policing. #BehindtheHeadlines

Nigeria is moving government services online. But what happens to citizens without reliable internet, suitable devices or the skills to use them?
Digital transformation should make public services more accessible, not create new barriers.

17 years without the national grid. Now, a 1MW solar power plant. 🇳🇬☀️
It's expected to serve around 6,000 households and businesses.
But here's the bigger question: what changes when electricity becomes reliable?
Longer business hours? Better healthcare? New opportunities for local businesses?
And who keeps the power running years from now?
The real story is what the electricity makes possible.

We pay so much for electricity we can't rely on in Nigeria. #QBTQ

Kano's famous blue dye pits are more than a tourist attraction. They're a living record of Nigerian craftsmanship, cultural identity and knowledge passed down through generations.
The question is: how do we preserve the craft and secure a future for the artisans behind it?

Zambia and Nigeria have something in common and it's not what you think.

Nigeria reportedly cleared ₦758bn in pension arrears. Sounds straightforward. But what does “cleared” mean? Was ₦758bn paid directly to pensioners, or does it refer to inherited liabilities being settled? And who is still waiting?

Nigeria already has manufacturers.
So why isn't manufacturing in Nigeria the obvious choice?
If a business can import a finished product more cheaply than making it here, what exactly has to change?
Energy? Infrastructure? Finance? Transport? Policy?
Or is there a bigger question?
What would Nigeria have to fix to make manufacturing the obvious choice?

Nigeria's banking liquidity slumped by ₦3.86tn.
Sounds like ₦3.86tn disappeared.
But it didn't
The CBN's OMO sales absorbed cash from the banking system, moving it from readily available liquidity into financial instruments
So the better question is
Where did the money go?

What do groundnut pyramids have to do with Dangote’s refinery?
At first glance?
Nothing.
Look closer.
There’s a story hiding in plain sight.
Groundnut pyramids → global energy. #HiddeninPlainsight #Dangote

Nigeria's FX market recorded $3.39bn in turnover in the week ended Sept. 11.
But don't read that as $3.39bn flowing into Nigeria.
$2.96bn = spot trades, settled now.
$430m = derivatives, agreed now, settled later.
Turnover measures trading activity, not money received.

Should you buy Dangote Refinery shares? Many are asking this question, but are there other questions you should be asking. #QuestionBehindtheQuestion

Nigeria says it will no longer tolerate the mistreatment of its citizens abroad.
South Africa can enforce its immigration laws.
But where does lawful enforcement end and humiliation or violence begin?
Nigeria says it wants dialogue, not confrontation.

That looks like an ordinary mud wall.
It isn't.
The ancient Kano city walls were built to defend the city and control entry.
Centuries later, parts of them remain.
The infrastructure of a city can tell you its history.
