Imagine you work in a company where you earn ₦75,000 monthly. You have a wife. Two kids. Responsibilities everywhere. Every month is survival mode. Then one day, a new CEO comes in. He reviews the system, blocks leakages, fixes what was broken and suddenly, the company starts making more money. Next thing, he announces: Your salary is increased five times. On top of that, new welfare packages are introduced: Your children’s school fees are supported You get healthcare access Food support is added For the first time, life feels a bit easier. Now here’s where it gets interesting… You have a friend in another company— he earns ₦1m, even more. That friend represents somewhere like Lagos State a place that has always had higher revenue, stronger systems, and more internally generated income. Now, compared to him, you’re still not there yet. But pause for a second Would you say nothing has changed in your life? Would you reject your own progress simply because Lagos is still ahead? This is where many people miss the point. Because this is not just a story. This is Nigeria from my perspective. The new CEO represents the President. The salary increase represents increased allocations to state governments. The welfare package represents what is going to local governments. So yes Lagos may still be ahead. But that does not cancel the fact that more resources are now coming in across the board. Which brings us to the real issue: If more money is coming in… Why are people not feeling it? If your salary increased and your life is still hard… If welfare was introduced and nothing has changed… Then maybe the problem is not the CEO. Maybe the problem is what is happening at your own level. Hold your governors accountable. Hold your local governments accountable. Because Lagos didn’t become Lagos by excuses it became Lagos by structure, systems, and responsibility. And progress is not about who is ahead of you. It’s about whether your own situation is improving. WHO IS YOUR GOVERNOR WHO IS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN Alabi Opeyemi Oladimeji
