Fourwinds: Very simple. DETAILS. Just as you do when you take your faulty car for repairs. You don't listen to stories, you listen to facts and note the depth of detail. You don't accept MAYBE's which is the preserve of INCOMPETENCE, but a person who can perform will sell you A PLAN, with metrics, indices and a STRATEGY on how to move from point A to B. What we have Nigerians do is the equivalent of appointing traditional medical practitioners to handle their serious cases because they advertise incessantly while the surgeons who are learned and competent cannot advertise by law. Nigerians are not informed enough about the choices they should make for better governance. Sentiment rules the day. I could remember CLEARLY in the run up to the 2015 elections the poignant statements of both Vice Presidential candidates. That of the APC, Mr. Osibanjo was still harping on the anti corruption stance as the main driver of the administration's quest for good governance meaning that if you blocked the stealing of government funds Nigeria"s economy should do well, while the PDP's made this statement: 'that you do not leave your shop and go chasing after thieves who stole from it' meaning that productivity is key and by striving to keep your country open for business you will end up overcoming losses. So the choices were clear between the two strategies. What Nigerians should have done was to ask for details on how both strategies would work for them and for the country but unfortunately sentiment prevailed and here we are today. Personally I have said often that without restructuring Nigeria will remain a basket case and I haven't been proven wrong in 25 years but we can always try and showcase the possibilities of development by doing what is right which in democracy and at the polls is empowering those who are cerebral and are apt for details. But I guess this just too high a hurdlke for most Nigerians to surmount so here we are. Sentiment prevails. 1 Like |

Omooba77: You are the big lair.If you took time to read the Gaba Shehu's article you would have known the truth. Buhari never said there was no subsidy,he said the fuel subsidy was a scam! And indeed the fuel subsidy under GEJ was a big scam to Nigeria. Your comment had 52likes. I am not surprised at all. Nairaland is full of morons. “To stop the mismanagement of taxpayer money, eliminate corruption associated with subsidies on petroleum products, power, fertilizer among others, the administration took the decision to implement long-delayed reforms, withdraw and allow the market to determine their prices.'' 1 Like |

CodeTemplar: Hindsight is always 20/20 but the internet is a great diary of events. Once the APC got into power in 2015 I did say then within weeks of the new administration that they should visit the subsidy issue and withdraw it in piecemeal percentage terms over the course of its four year term. Then political capital was at an all time high and Nigerians could psychologically bear whatever hardship they simply cannot today. However, the truth is that the now infamous "corruption" rhetoric turned propaganda turned holy grail prevented both government and the blinded public from noticing and accepting any other narrative as to what our problems as a country could be and the solutions. I did, and continue to emphasise a faulty structure misgoverning ALL things. I did, and continue to emphasise a terrible lack of productivity as an anchor to our economy, and so on. Corruption does not even appear on my radar because it was no more than a headache and headaches though paralysing are not infirmities or diseases, but symptoms of underlying conditions ranging anywhere from illiteracy and incompetence to prejudice and nepotism. Sort these out and corruption ends. So they had all the opportunity to make these hard but important choices and will have been reaping the benefits if we were not all blind sighted by faulty politicking. The three key important economic decisions the next goverment should make, one again is to fully deregulate the petroleum sector, fully deregulate the power sector and fully deregulate the currency exchange market. Anything short of that and pain will continue for the next century or until we are ready, period. If a yam farmer does not appreciate the cost of the yams he and his family consumes, he will certainly borrow seedlings every season. He should understand that he may not have yams to eat everyday and so should develop a taste for pap as well. It is not suffering, it is wisdom. 2 Likes |

GamalNasser: My problem is that we have journalists who are dumb, when they face this Garba Shehu they will never ask him about the role Buhari, tinubu, elrufai, and co played in frustrating previous governments on subsidy removal. They will be asking him questions that he'll be pleased with. Our journalists don't ask questions intelligently. APC really lied to Nigerians and are lying to us. Only God will reward them of the evil they've done to us. 1 Like |

kikero: Market forced should decide things like the cost of fuel. You cannot be paying the same price for fuel in lagos awka and Kaduna when the fuel lands in lagos and is transported everywhere else. Its insane. My grudge is what has stopped successive governments from building at least one refinery in each of the geopolitical zones to supply the required fuel to them. Absolutely nothing but the lack of will power. 1 Like 1 Share |
