An African president who holidays in Europe and South America does not understand the power of personal example and the impact of tourism on the economy

President Yar'Adua went on leave to holiday in Obudu in Cross River State; it was on purpose, designed to promote tourism

Being a president means sacrifice; you do things for optics to deliver a message. Tourism is a job creator, it's a forex earner, it strengthens the naira, it's even national security

Let Mr president holiday in all Six geopolitical zone, turn its a competition sef. It will spur local consumption

There is no pure socialist economy with a middle class

Forget the labels, let's do a practical example

If you were told that you make $5 and keep 100% of it, no taxes or make $100 and keep $6, paying $94 in taxes

Which would you prefer?

If you want to win elections in Nigeria, promise every woman a bag of rice a month

Promise every man a keke

I am not being satirical, I am explaining that poverty eats democracy for breakfast, lunch and dinner

But you will argue

Fake life...

but you entered office and bought

new private Jet
new Yacht
new SUV

President Bola Tinubu has now focused on 2027 and this has put the economy in "second base"

I excepted this in 2026.

This is why you hear things like "2024 budget extended to 2025", Nigerians understand what that really means.
