 Like it or leave it, one of the reasons it's so easy for a minority to cage the majority across the African countries is that Africans are deeply and widely lazy. Bitter pill, yes. But, until we swallow it and follow suit with ACTION, we are going nowhere as a continent. Why am I saying this? Imagine! A simple Google search reveals that Nigerians are not overwhelmingly seeking to see the original drafts of the tax laws that the Bola Tinubu Administration is introducing! This sounds like people who have made up their minds to have their future perpetually mortgaged... Then comes the #PublishBillDrafts Campaign The above is why we commend the #PublishBillDrafts campaign by LAFF Economics and urge every Nigerian to support it .  This is to call on the Nigerian parliament to always #PublishBillDrafts to enhance the country's democracy. Imagine a country where an issue as important as TAX REFORM is discussed and over 90% of the population has no access to...

 The World Wide Web should be a place of healthy connections, and therefore a hub of opportunities.

Via this approach, it will be totally eas...

WARNING : If you hate bitter truths a lot, kindly log out of this article now. It's a really short read but it is so realistic it could keep you thinking all day or year. To start with, I have something highly praiseworthy to say about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today... Nigerians may hate the man all they care. But, there are certain rare virtues you can't deny the Lion of Bourdillon. One of these is uncompromising doggedness. To say it in simpler language... Anything Tinubu Wants, He Must Get It...
