*Doctor of Mistakes* I made a mistake in 2016 by supporting Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as PDP National Chairman. I made another mistake in 2017 by supporting Prince Uche Secondus as PDP National Chairman. I made another mistake by supporting Tambuwal for the PDP ticket in 2019. I made yet another mistake in 2021 by supporting Senator Iyorchia Ayu as PDP National Chairman. And, most recently, I made a mistake in 2023 by supporting Sir Sim FUBARA as my successor. Very soon he will make another mistake for supporting TINUBU in 2023. *Ladies and Gentlemen we present to you the PHD Mistake Maker of the Century.* 👏 uote author=NwaNimo1 post=136054491]Beware of 'Snakes'...... https://storage.ko-fi.com/cdn/useruploads/display/24da5d83-c8e4-4e1c-b343-7ac685afa242_2.gif[/quote]

I disagree. Every where in the world you'll get folks who easily collect loans but find it difficult to pay back. But if the system is such that when you borrow you must pay back then no one will dodge repayment. The problem with Nigeria is that the system is broken. Both lenders and borrowers are not adequately protected. Obierika: |

Those representing Nigeria well guardin-logo News Metro Sport Life Tech Videos Opinion Reviewed Nigerian fighting for Russia captured by Ukraine‑aligned forces By : Agency report Date: 4 Jul 2025 Share : Kehinde Oluwagbemileke Adisa Kehinde avoided prison in Russia by agreeing to fight in the war in exchange for a reduced sentence. A Nigerian national fighting on the side of Russian forces in Ukraine has been captured by the Freedom of Russia Legion, a group of Russian fighters aligned with Ukraine. The individual, identified as 29-year-old Kehinde Oluwagbemileke, was taken prisoner in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to a report by Ukraine’s “I Want to Live” project. The organisation, which assists Russian soldiers and foreign fighters in surrendering, stated that Kehinde had been living in Russia for four years and was involved in drug-related offences before being arrested. Rather than serve time under Article 228 of the Russian Criminal Code, he reportedly accepted a deal to fight in Russia’s so-called “special military operation” in exchange for a reduced sentence. “Kehinde is one of thousands of mercenaries from third countries recruited by Russia’s Defense Ministry to fight in Ukraine,” the project said. “He fought for five months before being captured.” The report further stated that foreign nationals recruited by Russia are often misled about the risks and conditions they will face. “They are treated as expendable manpower,” the organisation said, calling on governments to act against the recruitment of their citizens by the Russian military. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a warning to foreign nationals considering joining Russian forces. “We urge all foreigners to avoid joining the ranks of the Russian occupation army by any means,” a ministry representative said, encouraging potential recruits to instead contact the “I Want to Live” project. Oluwagbemileke’s case adds to growing reports of foreign nationals captured on the battlefield while serving in Russia’s military. Earlier this year, two Chinese nationals were taken prisoner by Ukrainian forces and shared similar accounts of coercion and disillusionment.

The key identifier of an "elite" class is not merely their bank account balance but their ability and willingness to use their economic and political heft to shape the society around them. That's why a hereditary landowner and member of the UK House of Lords is considered an elite, while your average Premier League footballer (who may have more money than the HoL member) is not. The difference is in the willingness and ability to wield that power meaningfully. The reason I keep on saying 'Nigeria has no elites' is that I was born and raised among the subset of Nigerians who erroneously consider themselves to be elite, and I am very familiar with their thought process. It is the exact same thought process that you would get from a sugarcane seller in Mile 12 market if overnight he was given a house in Maitama, a Lexus SUV, a beautiful yarinya and N150m in the bank. The nouveau-riche sugarcane seller would not be concerned with higher thoughts like how to use his newfound fortune to transform the economic reality of Mile 12 market while positioning to benefit from the transformation. Nope. He would only be concerned with ensuring that he keeps hold of what he has, so that he never has to sleep in a wheelbarrow on a side street off Ikosi Road again. That's exactly what the privileged Nigerian is upstairs - a sugarcane seller who happens to live in Ikoyi. No matter how many decades they have spent in Ikoyi, their reality is still defined by the desperate quest to escape or avoid poverty. Every Nigerian millionaire or billionaire that you know feels financially insecure. Doesn't matter whether they are worth $1m or $25bn - they are all viscerally terrified of sinking into poverty, and the sum of their decision making is a series of short term deals and compromises to avoid poverty, without any kind of higher, long-term guiding principle. I know this especially well because I was raised in a house where everybody who is somebody in Lagos stopped by once in a while to work on a real estate deal with my old man, and I would regularly overhear everybody from bank CEOs to retired military generals and air vice marshalls saying things "Our leaders are [insert whiny complaint]." And I would wonder - who are the "leaders" that these extremely privileged people sound so oppressed and intimidated by? Is it not their friends and coursemates from Jaji? Later on it made sense when I realised that once you are in power in Nigeria, you become God, and even your family changes its rules for you. I've seen families override their olori-ebi because one 50 year-old uncle became somebody in Abuja. Conversely, as soon as you leave power in Nigeria, you sink into total irrelevance and people treat you like your body has a smell. The entire Nigerian sense of value and self-worth is welded to money and power. Once you don't have these 2 things, you might as well be wearing Harry Potter's invisibility cloak - even your family and contemporaries stop treating you with respect. The effect this has on elite formation is that unlike in other societies where elites gravitate toward different ideas shared by different camps, and then fight for the right to imprint those ideas on their society (Democrat vs Republican; Maoist vs Dengist; Tory vs Labour etc), privileged Nigerians ONLY gravitate toward one thing - economic power. They have no elite sense of identity outside of money in the bank, a 4-wheeled status signaller on the road, and an overpriced house in a neighbourhood that has a constant bad odour and potholes. That is also why Nigeria's political actors do this thing called "decamping" where they switch affiliation to whatever political party is in power. Their entire conception of the world is built around access to the levers of economic power so that they can avoid ending up in a wheelbarrow in Mile 12 market. That's literally all there is to Nigeria. 200 million sugarcane sellers. simonlee: |
