NEWS FROM NIGERIA - THE NATION IS BROKE and NEAR BANKRUPTCY

Buhari's government has finally ruined Nigeria in less than 8 years in office, our monthly debt servicing is now more than our revenue... Very soon, Nigeria will declare bankruptcy.... soon, we will not be able to pay salaries again and our creditors will begin to take over our country. How can a country so blessed be this poor?

When Buhari's government was borrowing money for white elephant projects (projects that are not bringing return nor advancing our economy in a way to bolster the nation's revenue) and the likes of Fashola and Amaechi (who have allegedly become billionaires in dollars) were justifying the need to borrow to stupor, we told them they are selfish.

The corruption that ruined Nigeria is not just from the politicians alone, most of it comes from ordinary Nigerians - civil servants. Civil servants entrusted with the duties of administration have created artificial bottlenecks in order to fleece everyone they are supposed to serve including other parastatals - research institutes, universities, etc., pay to get their monthly subvention. They inflate and pad budgets, and you will never hear leftover budget being sent back to the ministry of finance in Nigeria, the money grow wings and fly away by the end of the year. You cannot do anything at the highest level in Nigeria without paying bribes. I have first-hand recent experiences.

Those in the presidency, executive arm, and legislature waste taxpayers' money on frivolous activities - unwarranted trips, flying the president's daughter to pictures in Bauchi from Abuja, the president's wife living in Dubai for months - most likely on taxpayer's back, travel abroad for training that can be facilitated at home, they and their family go abroad for medical treatments on taxpayers' back while they neglect our hospitals, their kids go to school abroad on corruption proceeds, their allowances are bogus. ASUU better call off their strike, Nigeria is broke.

... all this wasteful spendings create a government that cannot pay its bill. We said Jonathan's government was corrupt, but Buhari's government will go down in history as the most corrupt government ever since independence.

The nation is going down the drain - if our monthly debt servicing is more than our revenue, it implies that the nation's debt will continue to balloon, and we will default on our loan payments. If we default on Chinese loans, we will see a take-over of our infrastructures. It is coming except something drastic happens quickly....

That drastic thing is to choose wisely in 2023. If we vote in the same set of wickedly corrupt people in the next election.... they will ruin what is left and take a flight when it all falls apart...

  THE GREATEST ASSET EVER – LAND “Every time I make a movie, I buy a LAND” – Tiffany Haddish (Actress, Comedian, Singer, and Producer). If you do not know yet, I announce to you that the greatest asset that will give you an assured return, whose value hardly depreciates, is LANDED property . Reflect on the major wars going on right now in the world that are predicated on the issue of LAND. WHY? It is one of the GEM God endows humanity with that is finite in quantity. While the human population continues to increase, land area remains the same or is diminishing due to climate change. The Russia's war in Ukraine , the Gaza war , the DRC-M23 war/Rwanda , Sudan's civil war , the Cambodia–Thai war , herdsmen-farmers' violence in Nigeria and the Ethiopian civil war … all are predicated on access to land and what is in it – rare earth minerals . So, in 2026 , if you have the opportunity to invest in an asset, think about landed property.

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO EXTREMELY GOOD PEOPLE

There is a saying in my language, Yoruba , that “Igi to ba to, kii pe n’gbo” – meaning, the good ones do not seem to last or live long. WHY? Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of John F Kennedy (The U.S. President who championed the civil rights movement to end discrimination; one of the greatest U.S. presidents ever) and daughter of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis , passed away today from cancer at a young age of 35. Like her grandfather and many others in the Kennedy family, she dedicated her life to changing the world. She was a passionate environmental journalist for the New York Times and wrote a book titled "Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have” in 2019 that won the Society of Environmental Journalists’ Rachel Carson Environment Book Award in 2020. Her life’s work sheds light on how individuals’ daily activities and choices exacerbate climate change issues . Tatiana Schlossberg's work focused on making complex environmental issue...
