Donald Trump manages to provoke a whole range of feelings in people — anger, fear, amusement, adulation, bewilderment — but he doesn’t often make them cringe; he’s usually far too self-assured for that. And yet I’m sure I’m not the only one whose face contorted reflexively into a grimace as I watched his latest attempt to defend himself and his running mate against the charge that they are both “weird”. “He is weird, right? He’s weird. I’m not weird. He’s weird,” Trump said during a town hall in Wisconsin on Thursday, leaning rather awkwardly on a chair and looking around the room for reassurance. The “he” that Trump was referring to is Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, Kamala Harris’s running mate and the man responsible for making “weird” one of the defining words of the 2024 US election. https://www.ft.com/content/29334b17-e5bf-4650-8578-866cb2c980f4

One major policy initiative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is to boost consumer credit in Nigeria. It is not as if there was absence of consumer credit before now. However, this is the first time that a government would identify access to consumer credit as an enabler of economic prosperity and took a deliberate action towards improving access to it. Consequently, the government created the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP) within its first year in office. CREDICORP aims at enhancing access to credit to 50 per cent of all working Nigerians by 2030. This is just about six years away. It is estimated that about 122 million Nigerians are of working age with over 60 million employed as at 2022. About N100 billion have been released to the corporation for the first phase of the scheme. Consumer loan is a facility granted by a creditor, normally a financial institution to individuals to finance specific types of expenditure. Typically, it is meant to assist the borrowers to have access to products, services and events that could improve their comfort and live meaningful lives. Consumer loans are of many types but the commonest of loans referred to as consumer loans include auto loans, mortgage loans, student loans, personal loans, and credit cards. With auto loans, consumers can access and use vehicles of their desire and age and pay for it over a stretched period. For mortgage loan, it is used to acquire or maintain a landed property such as a home, land or chattel. Student loan is granted to a student to have access to education in courses and institutions of choice that the student or guardian may not be able to pay for. Credit card is much more interesting and represents access to a pegged sum of money from a creditor at no cost provided repayment is made before a due date, usually within one month. Normally, credit card attracts interest payment only when repayment was not made before or on due date. Personal loan is granted to a borrower with a flexibility of usage and can typically be used to meet personal obligations. Certain types of loans especially to small businesses mostly to acquire movable assets and for working capital also fall within the description of consumer loans. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2024/09/06/consumer-credit-and-prosperity-of-nigerians/ |

Lagos, yet another Metro line? Absolutely! The Green Line Metro is here. Today, we signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) and China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) to bring this ambitious project to life. The Green Line is a 68km rail line designed to run from the Lekki Free Zone to Marina, connecting with the Blue Line at Marina. This new line will transform our transport landscape, linking key areas like Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah, and more. This rail line is projected to carry over 500,000 passengers daily at launch, rising to over a million as demand grows. With the Ministry of Finance Incorporated and CHEC leading the design, financing, and operation, the Green Line will redefine public transport in Lagos. The Green Line complements our existing rail lines, including the Red Line, which has already begun partial operations. Together, these lines form the backbone of our Strategic Transport Masterplan, designed to create a fast, efficient, and connected Lagos. Just yesterday, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line, which has served an impressive 2 million passengers without significant disruptions. This success shows that Lagos is ready for more - we are ready for the future. In August 2024, the Blue Line increased daily trips from 54 to 72, reducing travel time between Marina and Mile 2 from 30 to 18 minutes. The impact of these rail lines goes beyond transportation - they are catalysts for economic growth, connecting communities, reducing travel times, and enhancing the quality of life for millions. We are building a city that works. This is Lagos, and we will continue to lead https://x.com/jidesanwoolu/status/1831737180177494077 |

Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers are cracking down on the sound of women’s voices in public, under a strict new set of vice and virtue laws under the Islamist regime,” CNN reports. “Women are also obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.” https://politicalwire.com/2024/08/23/taliban-bans-sound-of-womens-voices/ |
