Powerful thread.

Today, we cannot even support Somalia. We are waiting for EU to give us $85m. We cannot fund it as AU. It's stupid. I mean. It's madness. 54 countries, 60yrs after independence, we cannot manage $85m to sort out Somalia which has no government? ~Kenya's President William Samoei Ruto, PhD

Gripping narrative and brilliantly written.

This bar chart has attracted the attention of the richest man in the world. Let me walk you through how I would interpret it as a statistician (and a human).

Statistics can never be completely objective. This is not just my opinion. It's a *mathematical* fact. Read on if you want to learn a deep fundamental truth about data and its relationship to the universe we live in.

You don't make policy statements without policy clarifications

I posted a while back "do not be in a hurry to remove the PMS subsidy" The economy will stop if fuel is sold above N700 without any relief. There is no harm in consultations, consensus is not illegal, speed is not certitude. What is your plan? communicate it

Tayo Bisuga Rotus There is no money for subsidy as a matter of fact. It’s a borrowed money. The real question is that. Will the government also cut its cloak according to its size ? Will they stop excessive borrowing ? Will they stop the irrational spending and stealing. That’s the real point

The government opted to push the burden to the people rather than get down to work itself. How is a government that promised to tackle corruption suddenly unwilling to block bloated payments to the rich and keep them to real figures in the interest of the poor?

A thread for everyone!

Sending Nigerian troops into Niger Republic at these times, is, in my considered opinion, fraught with much danger. It should be avoided. premiumtimesng.com/opinion/613161…

Gérer les désengagements des groupes extrémistes violents dans le bassin du lac Tchad – L'Afrique de l'Ouest et le Sahel peuvent apprendre de ces processus #DDRRR pour inciter les défections, inclure le genre et impliquer les communautés. Les détails dans cette fil. 🧵

Policy Brief > Communities can be sensitised to view some #BokoHaram defectors as victims, just like themselves. #LakeChadBasin has valuable lessons for other West African countries on #DDRRR ow.ly/QgKm50PsHhj Malik Samuel Akinola Olojo Hoinathy Remadji

.ISS ISS shares #DDR lessons from the #LakeChadBasin for the #Sahel and other West African countries. One lesson is community engagement from the onset as a way to ensure that ex-associates aren’t rejected after their reintegration.

As at today, Mr. Tinubu does not have the constitutional authority to deploy a single member of the Nigerian Armed Forces as part of the proposed ECOWAS Standby Force to invade Niger Republic. It is not only when a state of war between Nigeria and another country is declared
