The Feudalist establishment has long seen Lagos as a capitalist refuge that enables Southern resistance .

We& #39;ve heard of meetings in the 90s where Afenifere threatened to secede and "Statesmen" from another region said they would leave Lagos in ashes before letting it happen. https://twitter.com/Veekietoria/status/1319930966371127298">https://twitter.com/Veekietor...

For too long, the South has kept playing checkers with an institution that& #39;s largely playing Chess.

The South& #39;s politicians come to the table with the short-term mindset of Traders while the other side comes with relatively long-term objectives.

It& #39;s why I look at the deals some southern politicians or even regions try to cut with these people and wonder..

I know it& #39;s too much to ask a politician to not be corrupt but at least have a long-term regional mindset that lets you see the threats and opportunities around you.

If you put yourself in your opponent& #39;s shoes and see Lagos and a couple of other institutions as factors that limit your dominance, you see how it makes sense to cripple it.

So that guides how you do certain things.

But we don& #39;t think like that and it& #39;s baffling.
