A lot of people don’t realize that Nigeria is not stagnant, it is going backward at a speed faster than the speed of light.

The world is moving forward, and we are moving in reverse.

2024 Nigeria cannot compete with 1903 Argentina. They’re so clear

My own now is that Bola Tinubu's Brother Bernard fall should not affect the Naira.

That kind of fall is synonymous to triggering an economic crisis. Before you know it, you hear that Naira has slumped to 2000/$.

Why you go even fall on Democracy Day? Has an undertone of doom.
