Listen and listen good

Well we don't know if you are using your brain or it is cocaine that's using your brain

Nigeria is fast turning into Zimbabwe (year 2000-2007) situation under your nose 👃 and under your watch

If you truly care about this country, if you are a a son of the soil, if this country is truly your motherland and fatherland, you can retrace your steps and restore the people's trust, faith, on you

nairalanda1:


Won't change anything.

Dangote cannot meet our entire fuel needs right now. We need more refineries to come on stream before we can get there.

It is not up to even half of this <30m

Like APC (PMB & PBAT) like Zimbabwe= political corruption & unsound obscure economic policies

God forbid bad thing

KnowAll:
Kenya had a demonstration for 3 months yet their currency did not move in fact it stretched. Same thing the Ghanaian Cedis.

We talk production production production but these are not producing more than we are. How come our currency is on a free fall and their’s are on a fairly stable fall or even appreciating.

because the APC leaders we have had from 2015 to now are very dishonest, unfaithful and unpatriotic.

They will be busy giving excuse of Covid 19 impact, the war in Ukraine and Gaza, global recession as reason for the dead economy and currency when you ask them to account for the rapid devaluation of the naira.

Is it only Nigeria these events affected?

If your ticket was shattered signify by raising up your hands, come forward please

Heffalump:


You this yoruba Muslim, stop sympathizing with terrorists. Or are you one of them?

You no see how dem don damage Nigerian economy since 2015 beyond recognition

IbeOkehie:
Very interesting video, really. I've talked to several people in Nigeria this past week and what I heard about the economy generally confirms her view of the situation.

Unfortunately this kind of suffering will continue as long as Nigerians refuse to embrace FREE MARKETS and the tenets of SAP reforms started in 1986....privatization of all sectors and industries and resources AND full deregulation of ALL prices, including labour, energy and forex AND lifting ALL bans, tariffs and restrictions on ALL imports & exports of legal goods and services. This is the FIRST STEP to making Nigeria a prosperous and developed nation.

The woman in the video seems to be a fairly well to do Nigerian. She should know living in Nigeria is still better than living in the UK.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Margaret Thatcher economic reform inspirations?

Not in an atmosphere of lawlessness and wanton unbridled corruption among the ruling class

Ernerstdavid55:
The funny thing is people are not talking about it
Petrol is now 1100 naira
And everywhere is quiet smh

Becoz north and west are reluctantly solidly behind him

If na for GEJ now them for don find their microphone 🎤 voices enter streets begin dey
protests teytey.

toprealman:
The day she gets someone connected to power, her story will change. That one cal Ehi.ola was ranting the other day. Mercy Johnson as well because of her husband…which is understandable.
But truth be told, it has never been this bad in Nigeria.

But it is not supposed to be like this

Must somebody be connected to power to be able to survive in Nigeria? It is just too bad.

That is why Nigeria is soooo backward even in a democracy

Democracy is supposed to mean liberty and prosperity

What we have today is oppression of the masses with all manner of Draconian policies while the leader live large in opulence and splendor.

If not that the stupid western countries are ones backing and supporting these terrible leaders

AfonjaMozlems:
Wait
An IDP camp in the country's capital??.??

you sef see am bah? I think say na only me see am
The thing taya me o...

Na real wonderment. Only in naija

gentlekeny:

do you know what it means to train 5 times a week for hours?

Have you do it before... Train 5 times a week?

Try busy night shift work standing throughout without a chance to sit down for a minute rest for a month and compare

Looks like the material (curtain) that Maria used to sew clothes for the Captain's seven children in sound of music movie, 1965.

Oh they are even seven in number

The brain behind this don watch this movie taya

RodgersAkpafu:


South Africa has worse metrics than Nigeria in every economic indice.

what is the use of a "fine country" when most of you have been packed into townships and squalor?

What can you point to in that country and say this is "collectively ours"

Vusi Thembekwayo dey try help una life but even he has given up and packed out

abeg abeg I no wan laugh

Bros keep quiet
Close your mouth
Stop typing

There is nothing to defend in our country at the moment compared to theirs. Is it the high level of insecurity or hyperinflation or the devalued naira/devalued economy? Abeg siddon one corner. Even the recently concluded olympic games SA won all kinds of medals. Even one medal 🥇 Nigeria could not win.

Ohhh I didn't even mention the tribalism and disunity Nigerians constantly and shamelessly display on social media for the entire world to see whenever the opportunity presents itself.

If you say Yaradua or GEJ era I would slightly agree with you.

Not only SA this thing is happening

It is also happening in Nigeria

That "they just find a way to destroy it" is very apt

NNPC or is it NNPCL? just find a way to ground refineries for many decades despite billions spent in turn around maintenance (TAM).

Third mainland bridge is a speed haven

I can remember our driver cruising 160KM/HR

This is why people should stop blaming devil for fatal accident. How can normal human being be cruising at that kind of speed on a bridge?

dreh17:
You're reading this no be by your power or special grace. It could be anyone

Reckless driving caused this

People should not put blame on the wrong quarters.

Driver should be prosecuted for manslaughter

tito44:
Do you know that BetKing is owned by multi choice, owners of DSTV?

Will you guarantee their safety at the polling units? Voter stands?

You think 1k going for only 1 unit of electricity (kWh) is not possible?

Wait till our senseless, heartless leaders devalued naira further

You will hear IEDC and AEDC in conjunction with federal government release a statement like this "Average cost of electricity in USA which is 16.44 Cents is equivalent to N1000 per Kwh"

when dollar rise to $1 to N6000 in the nearest future

Bukola94:
Thanks God for garri been saving me, I make eba & drink garri at times

No be life be this

No b food b this bro.

Though I am not blaming you, na the nonsense govt policy dey cause all these rubbish

Christlike01:


Nigerians allow themselves to be manipulated like pawns in a game of ludo or table tennis because the majority are gullible and shockingly passive. From N167.00 per litre before this evil government came into power to now N1,200 per litre, and yet Nigerians act as if everything is normal! I've already given up on these weak, suffering, and smiling people called Nigerians; it's as if they were born to suffer!

Why, for crying out loud, aren't the people—especially the downtrodden—out on the streets protesting against Tinubu and his cruel government?!

They don't want to come out and protest, because the man is from a majority trib. His majority trib are supporting and backing his hardship insensitive policies. Had it been the man was from a minority trib there would been effective protest that would ensure high price are revised, reversed.

AntiChristian:


It's not easy with IKEJA ELECTRIC ON BAND A oooo!

This govt is making you guys to pay the same price or amount wealthy developed nation such as UK, USA and some other western countries pays for electricity with our devalued low purchasing power naira currency.

This is suffocating, they are trying to bury Nigerians alive with their Draconian policies.

DeLaRue:
I personally don't have a problem with the price of electricity, though I can understand that the experience of those in Band A is probably different.

I have always used electricity judiciously, so any pre paid electricity I buy tends to last for a reasonable length of time.

I have always been fastidious about switching off all gadgets FROM THE WALL.

First thing I do when I get out of bed is to pull my curtains so I take advantage of natural light. So, most if not all internal lights are off for most parts of the day unless I absolutely need it.

If I am leaving a room and not returning to that room within 5 mins, I switch off the light. Lights in any room that is not occupied is always switched off.

These are just habits that have become part of my routine. I don't do them because of electricity bill, but it has a very positive effect on my electricity bill. I have not bought electricity for about 3 months now, so cost of electricity is really not an issue for me.

Many Nigerians use electricity wastefully because we have one of the cheapest electricity prices in the world. But that is going to change with the introduction of new bands.

Let's see if you will still sing the same tune if one (1) unit of electricity eventually goes for N1000

These people are just punishing Nigerians for nothing, needlessly

CodeTemplarr:
You have your points based on your perspective but those workers you are rooting for, are they really working?
Imagine all the idle earners in LGAs and States getting paid for doing nothing. Thata the primary cause of steady inflation-increase. Imagine if such battalion of idlers contribute just equivalent of $500 per annum to the economy, that means there will be more forex and naira will be much stronger compared to the N1650-N1700 range it is today. That will in turn drastically drive down prices of all things especially the imported ones and dollar priced things like crude and its final products.
The govt too have a part in that because they always want support of the idlers and most times lack the will the keep local production going.

Yea I understand your point
They are valid

But it is these same political Papas and Daddies that have created, institutionalise the stinking system of mediocrity, nepotism, cronyism, tribalism,

Instead of promoting a system of meritocracy, accountability, service, the increase of the human development index.

That's what resulted in what you described above, in addition to what you wrote, instead of adding more value to the system by way of increased productivity of qualitative good and services, the hawks and vultures now focus on the dwindling limited resources that are left arrogating positions, hijacking and cornering opportunities to themselve and family by way of grand scale, multifaceted institutional corruption.

CodeTemplarr:
Using N950 it sells for in Abuja and N1640 to a dollar, it a averages 0.58 USD per liter. Not so far from Buhari and GEJ era.

Yea not so far

But imagine for a second how salary earner since GEJ regime whose salary has remained same since then will find it excruciatingly difficult to cope now.

Don't tell me about talk of adding side hustle or extra source of income, those who do that are trying to absolve themselves from blame.

At this exchange rate you mentioned 0.58usd it translated to N85 per litre during GEJ regime which was by far more conveniently affordable back then, the only problems then was the occasional scarcity not that they couldn't afford it back then.

Now it is over times X10 of that amount. How insensitive can a government be? This increases have caused multiplier effect all across the entire nations economy with reverberations leading to inflation prices of goods and services flying high while take home earning remain the same.

The reality is that many, many people have now abandoned their cars for public transport. Big men and women of our society for the first time are now seen hoping into buses, public transport.

Women now enter the bush cut any green grass they see without knowing their name boil and started eating due to chronic hunger and inability to afford the most basic of the basic food due to PBAT insensitive policies.

Even pure water average Nigerian can hardly afford these days.

The govt has lost touch with reality, completely disconnected from the people.

Very dubious character

Flangelo12:


You make your job.

No one would make jobs for you.

Your boss is making the job of making jobs very very painful and excruciating.

Multinationals that have been operating for decades, some over 100years are folding up shutting down, packing and moving to neighbouring countries whose economies are stable.

This is exactly the problem with some of you, how exactly will you achieve Biafra with this kind of hilarious mindset.

He is infantile

Don't give him the satisfaction of engaging him

TheNobleProphet:
My humble plea to President Tinubu and Alhaji Dangote ------- please sell petrol to Nigerians at 400 naira per liter.

Nigerians are seriously suffering!

either
Naira will have to appreciate in value to like N700 per dollar for this to be achieved

Or

Everyone's earning power or purchasing power will have to be quadrupled automatically

Let Nigerians come together to break up the hands of those that are devaluing their currency. This is what is causing the problem.

Price of petrol would have been N450 or even N225 per litre if not for the series of devaluation that was carried out in quick succession within a very short period of time.
