Congratulations on the protest carried out today both by those against this regime and those in support. I know that things are hard but I don't want anybody to confuse you the more and burry you in the rubble of wailing.

Now this is the matter. Even when there was subsidy, it was not sold at subsidized rate and it was not even available for you to buy and yet we were in oil boom. In the last 16 years, this last Christmas was the first where there was no scarcity and unnecessary sufferings arising From long cues and criminal activities of oil cabals.

It has been long since subsidy was removed and price regulations reinforced. After that there was no impact transport hick and inflation because the price wasn't any different from what it was under the criminal subsidy regime. But as time went on prices of goods started rising because of other factors.

It is simple economics, when demand is higher than supply there is scarcity and when there is scarcity prices will rise.

There is scarcity because we were not producing; not electricity, not clothing and not even what we eat. Your country has been an import dependent nation and the source of funding our deplorable appetite for foreign goods has been oil. Unfortunately oil price is down and the PDP sponsored Niger Delta Avengers has bombed the quantity supply to an abysmal low level. Nigeria can't even meet of up with its OPEC quota talkless of drilling more. Now that there is no oil dollars to satisfy our appetite you crying foul.

And by the way, many of those who were clapping for Avengers and who were happy because pipelines were going up in flames, you did because your hero lost election and you wanted Buhari to fail so that you can say: I told you he will not succeed.

Unfortunately, the evil that you clapped for is coming to eat you raw. You are lazy and unproductive and the only source from which Government was subsidizing your unproductive and luxurious appetite for foreign is comatose.

In addition, when Boko Haram was killing and maiming in the North East, one of the few regions in Nigeria that still produces agricultural products you said it wasn't your concern. Today, not only are there over 30 million people and farmers displaced in that region, now Nigerian government also have the burden to feed them and secure their region. It is not your concern but today it affecting the price of food and you are complaining.

Buhari does not print dollars and Nigeria does not have enough to continue to import to satisfy your appetite for foreign goods. You better make do with what you have or start thinking of what you can produce. At least if Government cannot earn dollars you can export whatever you produce and earn your dollars to buy any foreign goods of your choice.

And let me tell you the reality, the era of oil boom is over. The world is moving away from fossil fuel and we are never ever going to get the oil groove back again.

You have protested, it is now your responsibility to put food on your table and that of your family. Spend your energy, plan and strategize on what you are going to do next. Even if Buhari leaves office today, the situation will not change until you and I become productive, until we can feed ourselves with what we produce, deploy our technology and export our products.

The reality is here, Murphy's laws are setting in. Even America under Donald Trump is running from globalization. Everybody is trying to protect the little they have and build their economy. From Britain to France, America to Germany, the story is the same.

No amount of complaints can solve this. You have to be solution based in your approach, you need to be positive minded and you need to fit into a product line that is in demand.

Unfortunately, why many of the wailings are coming from those who have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation those who should have been the ones crying are silently taking advantage of this policies of Buhari. Whiles Politicians are sending you on wide goose chase they using the heat you are generating to fight the government so that they take over power.

Many rich people in Nigeria have gone into agriculture. Whiles you are shouting about scarcity of food and price of luxury cars they are positioning to make profit from you after you have protested and you return home looking for food. The likes of Dangote, ibeto, Uche Ogah and many others have gone into agriculture.

Even coscharix that used to import high profile foreign cars which you have been dreaming to buy to prove that you are also a big boy has gone into agriculture. He sacked many of his staff who used to sale cars to you at 100 million Naira and he is divesting massively into agriculture.

If care is not taken, you will be in the league of new poverty stricken people unless you use your brain now. These people are just distracting you and you are swallowing it hook line and sinker.

I am not saying you should not complain or protest. But bear it mind that Buhari means well but he will not feed your family. Think of what you can do, I am also restrategizing to face the new realties. They are global in nature and they also come with their own opportunities.

Great Imo Jonathan.
