Did anyone notice that Zohran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York, is adding weight, literarily, while:
1. Balancing the budget - they said it is IMPOSSIBLE... this guy did it in a few months of being in office... that tells you there was monumental corruption in NY before now
2. Being the lucky Mayor to bring the NBA Championship to the city since before he was born... 53 years...
3. Cutting crime rate by an unbelievable rate in a few months...21% decrease in homicide, others... burglaries (-19%), robberies (-18.1%), auto theft (-13%), and grand larceny (-12.4%).
4. Hosting World Cup games and giving away highly discounted tickets to New Yorkers.... $25 per ticket, instead of $800...
5. Courting Donald Trump, the Democrats' no. one enemy.... he tamed the guy during their first meeting, and many, including moi, were shocked.... How did this guy do it... Trump is Mamdani all the way.... All NY funding frozen released over $127 million released since Feb 2026... Chief MAGA loving Chief Progressive..
6. Among other achievements.....100k potholes fixed, digital transparency of government infrastructural projects and progress....
I pray New York does not swallow him up with time.... that he does not become complacent and be cut up with the enormous tempting opportunity in NY that distracts many politicians who have led the largest city in America...
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
