The Russian ruble dropped to 113 against the US dollar on November 28, its lowest level since the start of the war in Ukraine. It has since rallied slightly to 105 on December 4, but the ruble is still down around 8% against the dollar over the past month. This is not a one-off event; it is part of a developing crisis that is affecting Russia’s economy. Russia’s currency has been highly volatile since its troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Nigerians should pay attention to the tricks played by the administrators of this Tinubu-led government. As observed and documented in many of my columns, the idea of refusing to take responsibility has become a norm under this government. I feel refusing to take responsibility for failure or mistakes, has become part of the guiding principles of this government. I say this in relation to the detained children, who were detained for around 93 days before being charged.

The Hausa proverb, "If your brother's beard catches fire, pour water on yours," reminds us to take precautions and learn from others, as we might encounter the same. I do not wish to be philosophical, but this article may sound like one, as I use examples from this weekend's elections in Sokoto, Kwara, and Edo states. And if we, as a country, want to progress, we must all learn from other events. Each of us has a role to play in this journey of learning.

Tinubu’s presidency is truly surpassing all expectations. I say this not to glorify him but to caution the Nigerian people. He is transforming into a dreaded figure and preying on the country’s wealth. We are watching history evolve right before our eyes. As Alhaji Sule Lamido puts it, Tinubu is an emperor and will be difficult to dislodge in 2027. This is why I link his era to that of Mobutu.
