I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.

The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire is appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.

There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.

Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that will not be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer conpaetency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how they are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go
ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing
your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money
realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.
Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the
total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

The tears of a woman on her wedding day is a mere ritualistic practice and has nothing necessarily to do with the internal state of her heart.

If for anything, she is secretly rejoicing that she is leaving her father’s house. Father and husband no be thesame.

My sisters cried when getting married. But after marriage, no sooner than they arrive home, do they wish to return back to their husband’s houses.😂

As for the men, the real home is where your parents are. While Your mother is your key to paradise, your father ensures you enter in peace.

DANGOTE FIRST BUILT A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY TO BUILD DANGOTE REFINERY - Not many Nigerians know that Dangote has to first build a full-scale construction company, before he built the refinery?

Yes, you read that right.

Dangote literally built a full scale construction company to construct the refinery.

If that's not just business brilliance, what else is.

Now let me explain the brilliance in Dangote's move.

When Aliko Dangote announced his plan to build Africa’s largest oil refinery, many assumed he would contract foreign construction giants, the usual suspects from China, France, or the U.S.

But if you understand how this man thinks, you’ll know he doesn’t outsource destiny.

He knew something most entrepreneurs never grasp:

"You can’t build world-class infrastructure in Nigeria without first building the infrastructure to build it."

So what did he do?

He built the foundation before the refinery.

He established Dangote Projects Limited, a fully equipped construction company under the Dangote Industries umbrella, designed to handle everything from civil works to mechanical installations.

But it didn’t stop there.

To build that refinery, he had to first build the world around it.

Because in Nigeria, the challenge is never just the project, it’s the infrastructure that supports the project.

There were no roads strong enough to carry refinery equipment.

There was no consistent power supply to sustain construction.

The ports couldn’t handle the massive cargo.

So Dangote did what great industrialists do, he built everything he needed himself.

He built a 435-megawatt power plant to generate electricity for the refinery, fertilizer plant, and even parts of the surrounding communities.

He built internal roads, bridges, and a deep-sea port (the Lekki Port Access Jetty) to bring in heavy equipment.

He trained over 30,000 Nigerian engineers, welders, and technicians, turning skill scarcity into a local advantage.

He imported and owned over 2,000 heavy-duty construction machines, ensuring no delay from third-party contractors.

That’s not a businessman, that’s an industrial architect.

Dangote understood that to build a project of this magnitude in Nigeria, you must first control your ecosystem, from power to logistics to construction.

IT'S HIGH TIME WE CALL A CONFERENCE OF INTELLECTUALS NOT THAT OF ETHNIC NATIONALITIES TO BRAINSTORM ON WHERE OUR PROBLEM IS AND MAP OUT THE WAY FORWARD. THIS IS NOT ABOUT APC OR PDP OR ADC AGAIN. THIS IS NATIONAL DISASTER THAT NEEDS NATIONAL EMERGENCY TO BE DECLARED ON THE ENTIRE COUNTRY

Now terrorists have come and opened fire in Jos, killing both Muslims and Christians. But instead of investigating who these terrorists are, you immediately point fingers at your neighbor, someone you’ve spent years with in the market and at work, someone who may never have even given you a hostile look. You pick up a weapon and go to his house, or wait for him on the road, intending to kill him.

And when people talk about extremists or terrorists, you distance yourself, assuming it must only be Boko Haram? The truth is, many people in this country are extremists, both Muslims and Christians. They are just waiting for an opportunity, a small opening, to unleash violence, especially when they feel a sense of legitimacy.

Since Trump said he would come to protect Christians in Nigeria, Christian extremists have become more emboldened. There has been inciting rhetoric on social media and a growing appetite for conflict. Just in recent days, I’ve seen posts on TikTok where people vow to fight or even kill Muslims over an attack whose perpetrators are still unknown.

Honestly I'm impressed

Rather than focusing and putting all there energy into fighting each other or campaigning for political office holders i think this would be much better.

I hope our mosques and imams will emulate this and be conducting series of lectures on medical ethics, financial literacy, matrimonial responsibility, youth development and guidance, education and lots of other topics that we need to know more about.

"I went to school when Goodluck Jonathan was President. That was during Nigeria's economic boom. Yet, I saw people struggle to pay N12k for school fees. I saw people come to school with N2k, N5k as pocket money. Some came with foodstuff and "remember the home you came from."

Flight to Benin was between N12k to N18k. I usually went to school, filling the biggest travelling box with provision, and it cost me N30k to do that. My pocket money was between N25 to N30k and it was sufficient. I was feeding my friends in hostel and was named most generous person in the hostel. I went to a to secondary school with children of the rich, so I already knew the other reality of life. What I was seeing in UNIBEN was a far cry. To do everything I listed above today, you need over 500k because this government has plunged us into darkness.

Now, in 2026, when our lives should have significantly improved from the progress made by the GEJ government, we went from the clueless Buhari to k!eller of hope Tinubu. Exchange rate is over the roof. Flight is exorbitant. Feeding is a luxury. School fees is out of the reach of two income household. People are dy!ng daily because they cant afford health care. The government is taxing people to d£ath. Yet, we have cl0wns defending the cost of living in a country that minimum wage is N70k.

Meanwhile, the money released for health care of 200m people was N36 million naira. NNPC stole N210 Trillion but it is the masses that should be taxed to raise money and the masses that should have to endure economic hardship and pay exorbitant fee to get the available po0r quality education. Today, people are paying above 100k to 500k for public education. Nons£nse!

I am very convinced you people defending this are m@d and with all due disrespect, you're very m@d........"

Influencer, Wizarab, has stirred debate online after sharing a lengthy post comparing Nigeria’s current economic situation to the period when Goodluck Jonathan was in power.

Aliko Dangote has unveiled plans to build Africa’s largest detergent feedstock plant within the Dangote Refinery complex.

The new facility will produce 400,000 tonnes of Linear Alkyl Benzene annually, enough to meet the continent’s entire demand.

The project is expected to be completed in 30 months and highlights the refinery’s evolution into a broader industrial hub.

This move will reduce Africa’s reliance on imported detergent raw materials and deepen Nigeria’s petrochemical footprint.

The collective power of the people is greater than those who think they hold power....omoleye sowore
