People, we are the solution to the problems of the nation. The human (or leadership, if you like) question is what has messed Nigeria up. Low quality leaders, low quality citizens. Most seeking to get something for themselves instead of contributing to a better society

In a land not so far away, on duty for the ECOWAS region, I deliberately showed up in my green tie and white shirt in solidarity with the hope of a Nigeria that works for its citizens. “I pledge to Nigeria my country…”#Nigeria@65.

In a world filled with hatred and violence,walls of pride and prejudice and all manner of evil,we direly need instruments of peace. As Christians, may we not be people who are eager to escape to ‘heaven’ but instruments of peace and love here and now https://t.co/5zg1afHru2

Laying out a thousand and one reasons why it won’t work is a manifestation of acute cynicism. As a personal principle, I respect people who demonstrate agency, even if I disagree with their motives and methods. Every human progress, my friend, is built on agency. 2

As I wrote when the APC was formed by some of the people championing the ADC today, cynicism adds no value to human progress. It’s either you’re building an alternative or you stand aside and watch those doing so, no matter how imperfect. /1

In conclusion,it is theoretically and practically true that the presence of strong competitive pressure and strong enforcement institution deliver the best outcome for consumers/citizens. END

Of course, the underlying assumption is that the competition authority/electoral umpire is capable of enforcing the laws to penalise fowl play. /3

The fact that an incumbent is not guaranteed of holding on to their market/political power changes the incentive structure in such a way that benefits the consumers/citizens. /2

I’m not the one to praise Nigerian politicians and their power chasing moves, but as a competition expert (in the market/economic sense), I understand the value of competition in improving outcomes whether in markets or politics. /1
