  1. The Double-Entry Ledger of Suffering: How Nigeria Taxes the Poor Twice and Delivers Nothing Once by Lawson Akhigbe

    Reform, when it comes, will be welcomed. The question is whether the reformers are counting the same things Mama Chioma is counting. So far, the evidence suggests they are operating from entirely different ledgers and that only one of those ledgers is written in the ink of lived consequence.

  6. Welcome to Nigeria: Where Premium Security is a Myth and Survival is a Sport by Lawson Akhigbe

    Whether you are in your living room, a classroom, a place of worship, or just trying to navigate a highway without praying for divine intervention, lives are being lost to blood-thirsty bandits. Thomas Hobbes once described life in the state of nature as "short and brutish." If he were alive today, he’d probably look at Nigeria and say, "See? I told you so."

  11. Edo State’s CCTV Mandate: When Government Decides Shop Owners Are the New Police Force by Lawson Akhigbe

    Shops is now an extension of the state’s security infrastructure. Congratulations! You’ve been promoted from entrepreneur to unpaid auxiliary detective. Pay for the cameras, the electricity (when NEPA remembers you exist), the cloud storage or DVRs, the maintenance, and the inevitable technician who speaks only in riddles. All so the government can claim progress while the actual primary purpose of government remains… whatever it was doing before this.

  16. Look at what happened at Ikpoba River in Benin City. A whole Mercedes Benz SUV inside the river. 🤯 The story going around is that the driver "drew" himself inside. Incredible scenes.
