Oluyomi Ola-David Insights

As we move towards Nigeria's 2023 Presidential elections, I thought to share a throwback of the pre-elections survey I facilitated back then. In case you missed it, click the link to the post here (https://oluyomioladavidinsights.blogspot.com/2015/03/nigeria-decides-2015-survey-brief.html?m=1) Amongst several findings, the PDP and APC dominated respondent voters' consideration for likely patronage, while other participating political parties accounted for a meagre 1 per cent. In an upcoming voting patterns survey, monitoring and evaluation questions would be included to examine the current state of the nation and pulse of the electorate. Please watch out for the survey notification. Thank you!

In an high-tech age machines are more efficient and effective detectives. Rich people would buy tools to save time. Poor people would use other people's time to save money.

With enabling institutional environments and connective infrastructure, global value chains can include economic agents in developing countries. Homegrown solutions are as viable as many on global markets.  With adequate #finance options, Africa can #industrialise sustainably.

Even though I am a global citizen, I am born Nigerian. This is one heritage I will always hold dear to my heart. It is a unique honour to be Nigerian. Up #Nigeria, arise and shine! Peace to you Nigeria! Nigeria, I love you always! Hello Globe, Nigeria is emerging in style.
