Must Nigerians die because this government wants to raise fund to sponsor 2016 budget of yam.

When will this government become serious with other sectors rather than wasting money sponsoring OPEC in thename of cutting oil production.

Why is this governemnt not pro active at all?

Where will Nigerians get the money to pay for all this taxes.

Fuel price is increasing & transportation price is going higher...
