Unabated Commodity Prices Hike by Hiploko(m): 5:11pm On Oct 26, 2016
One grave mistake made & still been made by the APC government is allowing the continuous rise in prices of items and commodities. Daily, prices of items in the market change. We notice an upward trend. The resultant effect is hardship,increase in theft, suicide,pains,anguish etc. Pricing in Nigeria often times,defy the law of gravity. Prices go up without coming down(like down). That is why sensible governments and administrations work hard to prevent a rise and not to react after the damage has been done. Nigerians, been the very enduring rare species on earth, will always learn the hard way to do an overall adjustment to such wicked and painful hike caused by the confusion and dearth of ideas by the government of the day. From May 2015, we have witnessed a very painful increase in the price of virtually everything required to make like comfortable for the citizens. Fuel, food items, transportation,building materials... Just name it. I use to think that government is pro-people. Blames have been placed on the doors of PDP, past governments, decline in global oil Prices, corruption, foreign reserves depletion, everything except APC. Even the masses have been blamed indirectly with the *change begins with me * episode. It is just recently that the ruling party accepted through one of its Governors( Rochas Okorocha) that it is responsible for the woes we are in as a nation. He said this after a meeting of the APC governors with the President. The present administration prior to the elections, sold itself as the messiah Nigerians need. They took advantage of the weakness of the last administration to project themselves as the best thing to happen to Nigeria. Jobs were promised. N5,000 payments, fuel price reduction, exchange rate reduction, immediate job provisions just to mention but a few. Like the story of the serpent deceiving Eve in the holy book, many Nigerians were *deceived*. Barely few months into the inauguration of the messiah-tagged government, denials started. Blame games became the days order. In-house fighting started especially from the legislature. Lately it has even gotten to the first family's house. Oga and Madam! It was so serious that madam had to go shout out abroad and oga responded from the other room. Now it is Tinubu Vs Oyegun with many shouting they have been used and dumped...All these are happening while precious times in the life/history of Nigeria as a nation wastes away. Lots of events like the Chibok girls release, corruption fight(taming the opposition really), Judges embarrassment etc..... have kept our media houses, TV stations, Online media, Nigerians @ newspaper vendor stations etc very busy while this very dangerous trend of commodity price increase is on the rise. Prices change daily, weekly, monthly. Recently bakers just increased prices. Rumors have it that plans are on to increase fuel price yet again. You now begin to wonder!!! What is really going on... Can it be said that a whole gathering of all personalities who came together to form APC lack the will,power,knowledge and skill to halt this evil trend? Or there is a big issue of trust and division amongst them that has not allowed them reason together on how to @ least reduce the pains and sufferings of Nigerians who trekked, contributed, fought and even died to elect them into power? It is even more scary that no visible/concrete plans have been put into place to halt price increase. They even seem to be very confused about what is happening. Fellow Nigerians, we need to rise up and look for a way to salvage our current fortunes and guarantee a good tomorrow for our children. Shouting corruption and all the media dramas are likely to continue till 2019. But more saddening is that inflation,lack of infrastructure,lack of good governance etc is likely to run side by side. The plan will be to keep all distracted with all the dramas while incompetence and hunger reigns.... A word is enough for the wise!!! Dear government, please do something to alleviate the sufferings.. Dere is God o.....

One solid mistake killing Buhari government which he and co- travellers do not know is the exclusion of southeast in the affair of this government_ I promise you, things will get worst as time goes on, except a collective government is establish nothing will work out. He think he can punish the Igbo's for not voting him_he is wrong_they hold the economic power of this nation_take it or leave it_at the initial, he introduce forex scarcity and import restriction to punish the numerous Igbo business tycoon while making way for his brother Dangote in the process created the gigantic deficiency of basic utilities that would have been surplus with the help of Igbo importers_ Ego and shame won't let him reverse his clueless policies.
