Principal Intel

Navalny's legacy serves as a guiding light for those seeking to break free from the shackles of authoritarian rule. From Lagos to Lusaka, his message resonates deeply with the aspirations of ordinary Africans longing for free and fair elections and transparent governance.

Nowhere is this struggle more evident than in Nigeria, the most populous nation on the African continent. Amidst growing concerns over political legitimacy and widespread disillusionment over the economic uncertainty with the ruling establishment, the need for free and fair elections has never been more urgent. The current political polarization and economic instability underscores the imperative of restoring faith in the electoral process to chart a path towards sustainable development and progress.

Navalny's true superpower was his fearlessness in the face of oppression. He understood that political power from the Kremlin or anywhere in the world is based on people's fear.

Opinion Piece in the Guardian Newspaper:

Imagine how many things have failed in Nigeria because we stupidly thought technology alone was coming to save us. Pause now and mentally count the things that failed in this country because we thought a newly implemented technology would save us. How can you solely use technology to brush over a pervasive culture of ineptitude, fraud and corruption?

It happened with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); it happened with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and it has begun evolving at the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) – the people are what makes technology work and thrive. Technology doesn’t have a mind of its own but the minds of the people who control her. Let me put this here: Nigeria has enough technology to save her from corruption, insecurity, food shortages, bad roads, electricity, education, etc., but will the glorified culture or mindset of corruption and selfishness let her thrive?

The use of technology as a shortcut has failed many times in Nigeria. It will continue to fail if our political, societal, and religious leaders don’t influence our culture to do things right and act right. The use of technology has always arrived beautifully as a Saviour and then it gets butchered by the people like a nobody; so the real question is which one would be the next to die?

Data must be able to birth these 3 phases - Clarity, Introspection and then Action. If it doesn’t do these three things, it is merely entertainment or, at best, information.

Data shouldn’t serve an agenda. It should simply reflect a statistical aggregate that births the 3 phases of C.I.A.

Our Head of Operations, , writes in about the power of data and the social effect of data in measuring politics and policy, and this spans from electioneering to governance. Kindly read.

Tomorrow will be our first Twitter (X) space focusing on the power of data to ascertain, predict and boldly defend policies and politics.

It will happen on X by 5 p.m., and reminders are set across the political space. We will be co-hosting with the anonymous “PIDOM Nigeria” and very controversial David Hundeyin - it’s going to be hot. Watch out!
