New Year message

For much of this year, I actually wondered if there was really much to be bullish about in tech, but in the last few months I have to admit I've been the most ...

[FTX](https://nnn.ng/tag/ftx/) showing that it appeared to be just three different frauds stacked on top of each other in trench coat pretending to be a real financial firm… [IBM](https://nnn.ng/tag/ibm/)). In short, all the things that a lot of people seem to think are really “bad” for technology are really bad for the old way of doing things, which had very real problems. In an era where big companies are still fighting for the right to repair, we see smaller companies step in and see the right to repair as a market opportunity to break in and beat the big boys. And almost immediately we saw a bunch of similar offerings appear (many based on the early work of OpenAI), like the open source MidJourney and Stable Diffusion. We were told over and over again that antitrust laws had to look at these big companies and how they were going to control the world of AI. I don’t think any of those companies will go away, of course, but making them go away and allowing some new entrants to lead the innovation train for a while is a compelling idea (as it did with previously dominant companies like Microsoft and Microsoft). That’s still one of the most exciting things to happen in the last year, especially since people had been predicting it for years with little to show for it. I know Techdirt haters keep claiming (falsely) that we’re “big tech shills” or whatever, but seeing the natural order of things topple these giants and open up new avenues of innovation is one of the developments most exciting for innovation in recent years. I went on to point out that people have said that over and over again in the past regarding technology and they were always wrong. For the last five or six years or so, people kept insisting that the big Internet companies were too big and too powerful to fail or be interrupted. I remain incredibly optimistic about the potential for innovation, and generally feel frustrated and angry about anything that gets in the way of making that optimistic vision a reality.

A very happy and prosperous New Year to you. First, I would like to thank and honour the Almighty who saw us through the year 2022 and has given us the ...

We as a government are committed to ridding our nation of all forms of corruption, through the collaboration with all the arms of Government to effectively prosecute this fight. I welcome and accept both the accolades and criticisms in equal measure secure in the conviction that I did my best to serve our dear country Nigeria and I pray that the next President will also pick up the baton and continue the race to make Nigeria one of the leading countries of the world by the end of this century. For the ECONOMY; our focus would be on maintaining and building economic growth through the national economic diversification agenda that supports the goal of national food self-sufficiency and growth in non-oil sources. ANTI-CORRUPTION: On the anti-corruption drive of our administration, we have created new records in this fight, growing from 117 convictions in 2017 to 3,615 convictions as at December 2022. Our security forces are working in partnership to ensure the wins we have got in war against insurgency, banditry, secession and other crimes are sustained and more wins acquired. Focus on SECURITY; we will continue to engage, push back and dismantle the operations of both internal and external extremist and criminal groups waging war against our communities across the Nation. In the next five months we would have gone to the polls and elected a new president along with new governors and a plethora of other elected officials at both the national and state levels. In the aftermath of the EndSars, our administration took heed and instituted the ongoing Police Reform program based on a new Presidential Vision for Policing in Nigeria. Other gains have been the ongoing training of 500 police cadet trainers to enable a better training regimen for the 2022 first batch of the 10,000 new cadets with an additional 10,000 set for 2023. In addition is my personal commitment and executive promise to see to the letter that the 2023 elections being diligently conducted by INEC will be free and fair. After having the honour of serving you, my compatriots, for the last seven plus years, my tenure as your President in the most revered tradition of our ongoing and maturing democracy must necessarily come to an end. Each New Year is an opportunity to reflect on the past year, reposition, and move forward with the New.

“In the aftermath of the EndSARS, our administration took heed and instituted the ongoing Police Reform program based on a new Presidential Vision for Policing in Nigeria. In this regard, we worked with the legislature to develop an enabling law to turn their passions into ideas that can be supported, groomed and scaled across regions. “Despite the ongoing global economic crisis, we have been able to weather the storms. One of which is the resumption of Train Service along the Kaduna to Abuja corridor. “This administration’s landmark Amended Electoral Act will ensure that we have free and fair elections across the Nation. This has made us a unique nation across the globe and our continent.

As his administration gradually winds down, President Muhammadu Buhari has given himself a pat on the back saying he did his best to serve Nigeria.

“We will also focus on ensuring that free and fair elections would be held come February 2023. 2022 brought a combined impact from ongoing wars and the aftereffects of COVID-19. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that Nigeria remains safe and peaceful for us all. We, as a government will ensure such activities are met with the full force of the law. He said: “reflecting on the year 2022 allows us as a government to examine our legacies of successes and challenges. “A number of surrendered insurgents are currently being processed by the rehabilitation (Operation Safe Corridor) program. “This administration’s landmark Amended Electoral Act will ensure that we have free and fair elections across the Nation. “I offer my own personal felicitations, mindful of the various opinions and interpretations of our executive legacies. This has made us a unique nation across the globe and our continent. “We as a government are committed to ridding our nation of all forms of corruption, through the collaboration with all the arms of Government to effectively prosecute this fight,” he added. “In the year 2023, Nigerians go to the polls to exercise our right to vote and elect a new Administration, it is an important year for our country to ensure that we have another smooth transition of government, to whoever the people have decided upon. As we celebrate the opportunity to be alive in the year 2023, the President said Nigerians must also acknowledge the passing away of our brothers and sisters who didn’t make it into this New Year, praying that may their souls rest in perfect peace.

New Year speech by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) for the year 2023, which happens to be his last as President.

We as a government are committed to ridding our nation of all forms of corruption, through the collaboration with all the arms of Government to effectively prosecute this fight. I welcome and accept both the accolades and criticisms in equal measure secure in the conviction that I did my best to serve our dear country Nigeria and I pray that the next President will also pick up the baton and continue the race to make Nigeria one of the leading countries of the world by the end of this century.

Focus on SECURITY; we will continue to engage, push back and dismantle the operations of both internal and external extremist and criminal groups waging war against our communities across the Nation. Some of the key priority areas we would direct our attention and strengths to include: We as Nigerians must also take responsibility to ensure we participate in ensuring that the 2023 elections are free and fair by not engaging in anti-state activities and other nefarious acts that may affect the run of the polls. In support of these reforms has been the provisioning of new material for the Nigeria Police to steadily improve on its constitutional responsibility to enforce law and order, protect lives and property as well as street level peace and security. In the year 2023, Nigerians go to the polls to exercise our right to vote and elect a new Administration; it is an important year for our country to ensure that we have another smooth transition of government, to whoever the people have decided upon. In the next five months, we would have gone to the polls and elected a new president along with new governors and a plethora of other elected officials at both the national and state levels. As we celebrate our wins and review obstacles, we all must understand that governance is a continuum, which still places a transitional responsibility on this administration to provide for the incoming government a non-partisan and objective roadmap for 2023. As we celebrate the opportunity to be alive in the year 2023, we must also acknowledge the passing away of our brothers and sisters who didn’t make it into this new year. The collective electoral will and votes of Nigerians will be fulfilled, even in the twilight moments of my watch.
