    Tinubu has reformed the tax laws, removed the petrol subsidy, transferred electricity to the states, removed the multiple, parallel currencies and stabilized the naira. From a policy perspective, the Tinubu government has been very good.

    China is likely holding a huge amount of USD. If they release it all, the value of dollar will drop like a rock. If you are a Nigerian holding USD, I advice you change it to NGN or EUR soon.

    Eko Atlantic City will probably be like a Dubai in Nigeria - very rich and wealthy, and with a completely different lifestyle from the rest of the country.

    One of the worst investments Nigerians regularly make are to build mansions in their isolated villages. Massive mansions inhabited only by 20 lizards and a goat.

    Tinubu devalued the Naira, removed the Petrol subsidy, and is about to reform the tax system to one that gives much more power to the states. This is what you guys were asking for all along, why the whining now?

    Lagos is historically Yoruba land. Nigeria is stable because everyone respects everyone's historical land. There is one shared space in Nigeria - that's FCT/Abuja. I think we should all respect tribal home zones in the interest of unity and peace.

    I'm so proud of my daughter. She is only 4 but she has already started remote work. I send her to get the remote for me.

    Sanwo Olu should be a minister as soon as he's done being Governor. A very excellent administrator.
