With the new price regime just announced today, the price of petrol is now officially lower here in the US than it is in Nigeria, an oil-producing country. I don't care what pseudo-scientific gobbledegook defenders of the price hike advance; it's simply unconscionable and immoral that Americans should pay less for petrol than Nigerians who produce it, especially given that the minimum wage in Nigeria is a paltry 18,000 naira monthly, which isn't even paid regularly in most states. N18,000 is the equivalent of $90--if you use the official exchange rate of 199 naira to a dollar. The minimum wage in America is $1,160 a month, which is equivalent to N231,000--again using the official exchange rate, which we all know isn't a true reflection of the naira's real worth vis-a-vis the dollar. (It is over 300 naira to a dollar in the black market). I am not an economist and don't pretend to even understand economics, but I do know that any "deregulation" or "subsidy removal" that asks a person who earns N18,000 to pay more for petrol than a person who earns N231,000 is immoral and indefensible. To this effect, we n need to pray for our country, Nigeria. It's our Jerusalem. We need prayers of God's divine intervention. Please let's remember our country in our quiet time.

We have been praying and will continue to pray, but we need more of action now while still praying.

Jerusalem has been abused
