The core of his approach is the use of data as a growth engine. Adelowo wants SMEs to view every transaction as a valuable information that shows customer behaviour and the business’ performance. When these insights are put together and analysed, owners can easily make informed choices rather than relying on memory or instinct. When sales increases, inventory levels, and customer interactions are also visible in one system. This way, managing a business becomes far more strategic and efficient.

The Governor, or the FCT Minister in Abuja, can impose penalties on anyone who fails to develop land as required or transfers it without approval. He may also waive conditions or extend deadlines if compliance is difficult or unfair. These powers make him the legal trustee of all land, with authority to allocate, manage, and recover it for the public interest. When Section 28 allows revocation for overriding public interest, it simply affirms the Governor’s lawful control over land under the Act.

Nnamdi Kanu might have hurt a lot of other people and he should be held accountable for that, but if we leave that justice to Tinubu, are we not also using that as a basis for him to crush any dissenting opinion in Nigerian politics by equating them to Nnamdi Kanu. First, they will come for Nnamdi Kanu, but very soon they will come for the pregnant woman who reviewed a tomato paste online, and the only way to do that is to not concede any power to them and ask them to immediately conduct an open, democratic and fair public probe for Nnamdi Kanu in which the Nigerian masses and elected representatives across different interests groups across the country (including those in the South East) can contribute to the course of justice. THIS SHOULD BE OUR DEMANDS! This should be our demand. Not a delayed court trial that Tinubu and Wike can easily influence. If Nnamdi Kanu decides to work for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election today, the same people holding him now will easily release him to use him to subvert the electoral will of the Nigerian masses.
Government and its security agencies have discredited themselves and the trials and by extension have discredited the judiciary with the ways the Kanu case, which ordinarily shouldn’t be more than three years of trial, was handled and still being handled. In a civil rule, protest is legitimate, it’s the needed oxygen for democracy to grow. I wonder why police who are invited to secure the Free Kanu protesters say they cannot guarantee their security and safety but can guarantee the safety of anti-Kanu protesters. That’s an open indictment of bias and a self ridicule before the world.

To better understand how Kanu ended up in Nigeria and why he’s not supposed to face trial, you need to juxtapose it to what happened to Umaru Dikko in 1984 and its fallouts. Dikko’s kidnapping was, like this one of Kanu, a brazen act of attempted extraordinary rendition, which – by the way – is a grave State crime under the canons of international law that bind Nigeria as a bonafide member of comity or nations. When it happens, dire consequences must ensue and one of them is this: By the dint of such egregious misconduct, the complicit rogue State permanently loses its prosecutorial power over the victim of the rendition.

Big Brother is not just a narrator; he is a psychologist, a therapist, and a master of emotional intelligence. He knows how to balance warmth and authority perfectly.
