I don’t agree. We should be accountable for what trends we set as a people and not blame an algorithm that identifies and promotes the nonsense our people prioritise on social media.
Is the algorithm in charge of our music, movies, social gatherings?

Ahead of the 2025 IMF & World Bank Group Spring Meetings, the Central Bank of Nigeria, in collaboration with J.P. Morgan and the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX), hosted a high-level global forum at the Nasdaq MarketSite in NYC on April 17th.
Titled “The Nigeria Investment Agenda: Pathways for Growth & Global Partnerships,” the forum convened global investors, diaspora leaders & senior financial stakeholders to discuss Nigeria’s macroeconomic outlook and reform progress.
Led by Governor Olayemi Cardoso, the CBN detailed its reform agenda for the past 18 months, from monetary tightening and FX market transparency to stronger financial governance. These reforms are laying the groundwork for long-term macroeconomic stability and signalling a new era of transparency and confidence.
The forum was about facts and the future: engaging critical voices, reviewing progress, and identifying what’s needed to build enduring partnerships and attract long-term capital.
At the heart of this effort is a clear goal: reasserting the CBN’s role as a credible, trusted institution, respected globally and committed to excellence at home.

Someone need to say this!
LET'S TALK ABOUT KEMI BADENOCH
In a speech at Michigan State University on 24 January 1963, revolutionary and civil-rights activist Malcom X (1925-65) drew a distinction between field and house N*groes. He called the latter the “twentieth-century Uncle Tom.”
Over six decades later, the distinction is still worth drawing. Every generation produces a new version of the house N*gro. They are the ones willing to betray the fight against imperialism to do their masters’ bidding for financial reward and privileges.
The new leader of the UK’s opposition Conservative Party - Kemi 'Adegoke' Badenoch - fits the bill perfectly. Our sister Sannario explains why.
So it was possible along?!

Testimonies of members of Lord's Chosen surviving armed robbers, escaping kidnappers, resurrecting from the dead twice, flying on lion’s back have been a source of public fascination. Now it is one of the hottest trends on TikTok.

Let’s face it: Nigeria’s economy is feeling the strain. But here’s the thing, even though times are tough, Dr. Olayemi Cardoso and his team at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are likely the reason things aren’t a whole lot worse.

But what does their work actually mean for you? We have some answers.
This whole incident is a case of gross negligence. Motorsport demands a deep respect for safety and coordination.
This is a carefully coordinated drag race we had in the same Eko Atlantic years back:

We have done a lot to develop the love and more importantly safety in Motorsport in Nigeria over the last decade from @motiontownshow to @revsandrunway to the @bmwclubnigeria and a number of other advocate/groups. This incident is sad and will sadly, affect others negatively
Classic Love Movie!

I am deeply honoured to be awarded the King’s College London Changemaker Award as part of the 2024 King’s Distinguished Alumni Awards. This recognition highlights the power of using knowledge with purpose and celebrates my efforts in global development, particularly in maternal, newborn, and child health through the @WellbeingAfrica Foundation, while also acknowledging my work in advancing the @UN Sustainable Development Goals and championing health equity through active #glocal policy and advocacy.
My time at King’s College London, where I studied an LLM in International Economic Law, instilled in me a profound sense of responsibility to use my education to make a meaningful impact on society with an international perspective. King’s mission to drive positive and sustainable change in society to make the world a better place, through its commitment to empowering interdisciplinary thinking has been a guiding force.

MINIMUM WAGE AND ORGANISED LABOUR
The demand by Labour for over 400k minimum wage is outrageous and unhelpful. Asking for over 1000% increase in minimum wage is bad economics in many ways. How do you take seriously Labour leaders that seem to be living in their own imaginary world.
Their basis for their demand is not good economics. Listing average cost of transportation; food etc and coming to a figure is not the way to calculate minimum wage.
Firstly; prices go up and down all the time. So will the wages awarded be reduced if there is a sudden crash in prices of goods and services? Secondly; Minimum wage is not supposed to meet all your needs. It doesn’t anywhere in the world. If you can meet most of your needs with minimum wage; what is the incentive to get education and earn much more than minimum wage?
A minimum wage of over 400k will also mean similar increment for all wage levels above the minimum as well. So a director who earns 300k at the moment will now need to be paid over 1Million per month. As the minimum go up; all levels get increases as well.
Also, many in public service earn more than the basic salary. There is all manner of allowances and awards that is also paid.
Increase in minimum wage is not just increase for the lowest paid staff. All staff (including the Permanent Secretary) will also get an increase. This outrageous demand by Labour will bankrupt any economy and the government must resist their blackmail.
In saner climates; you don’t see labour going on strike over minimum wage. The government simply announces the percentage increases in minimum wage without much organised protest. The misuse of strike actions by the NLC and TUC has become damaging to the collective bargaining in this country.
The government should stand firm with the 100% increase in minimum wage it has offered. Anything more will just be playing to the gallery. Some states have not been able to pay the current 30k up until now. How do you expect them to pay 60k much less over 400k.
Minimum wage is not meant to be able to meet all your needs. Otherwise, what’s the need to advance and progress if I can meet most of my needs on minimum wage. It’s merely a starting point from which to advance and move up in the job market.
The organised labour need to stop playing politics and being recalcitrant. The government must stand firm and workers need to resist this needless strike called by labour in their name.
There are many tools the government can use to stop this nonsense and I am sure they will do the needful. Enough is enough.
