Not Nigeria’s Problem — Buhari Government
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, described the rising prices of petroleum products in the country as a global problem.

The Muhammadu Buhari-led government has again blamed external forces for the rising food and fuel prices in the country, saying it is a global phenomenon.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, described the rising prices of petroleum products in the country as a global problem.

The minister who spoke at a press conference in Abuja said those who compared the prices of food in the past administration and the current Buhari regime were mischief makers adding that the same problems were faced by advanced countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States.

He had said, “The last issue I want to address is the figures being bandied around by the folks on the other side and a section of the press, comparing the prices of some foodstuffs, petrol, diesel, etc pre-2015 and now.

“This misuse of statistics is clear mischief. Those who bandy around these figures without putting them in context are being clever by half. Let’s take the price of foodstuffs and petrol. Google the price of foodstuffs in other countries, especially the UK and the US, and you will discover a steep rise; ditto for the price of gas or petrol. What we are saying is that this increase is a global trend, and it’s not limited to any country.

“Therefore, presenting it as a Nigerian problem is mischievous, disingenuous and a clear act of misinformation; let me add that the crippling fuel shortage experienced across the country in recent times has started easing, as the measures put in place by the government begin to work.”

Since February 2022, Nigeria has been battling with fuel scarcity following the discovery of 100 million litres of imported petrol in the supply chain with “methanol quantities above Nigeria's specifications.”

The bad fuel damaged many vehicles and generators, leading to an emergency withdrawal of volumes of the product.

Even though it is a global problem but other countries are dolling out palliatives to their citizens to help cushion the effects but here the lifeless government is hell bent on killing Nigerians with multiple taxes and obnoxious laws. Buhari is a certified failure simple

What a senseless comment from a Government that gives its citizens the Middle Finger at every opportunity.

E no go better for the people way foist these Buzus on Nigeria.

Story for Western Slaves to believe and masturbate on.

Like Thomas Sankara said, their is no correlation between Poverty and Africa. We are the producers and import very little if you check well. We are still under slavery just that many don't see the chains.

The system has been rigged to multiply whatever effect anything has on Western Economy on Africans. Africans (the ones that are not fighting to liberate themselves) are like the life support of the West. They use our economy to water down their hardship.

As for Nigerian economy, the people occupying post of power reflects the hopelessness of an average Nigerian. Whatever little control that is left for the black man, they exploit. They don't have any vision for their people past tomorrow. Do you know the Funniest part? Those that their future is being squandered are waiting for their own turn to steal, hence no complaints. That's why we have high number of professional politicians and aspiring politicians in this cesspit.

So they should do nothing about it or what?

If we like make we no look well before we vote for 2023.

Go get your PVC if you've not gotten one yet.

We are in it already

Is anything ever you people’s fault?

Yes indeed it’s a global problem, but let’s learn to handle our own business first.

When I read about the cost of food hike in other countries the other day, I no this useless government will capitalised on it and use it as an excuse to the evil they have done to this country. Useless government.

Abeg make una do commot oh!! 2023 just be like 10yrs 4 some in naija oh

Lai Mohammed reasoning and excuses is like that of a student that failed an exam and gave an excuse that the most brilliant students also failed.

Alhaji Lai is a colossal waste of space.

Useless people who always rationalise their incompetence.

I watched that press conference, I feel like slapping Lai Muhammed as he was saying those jargons.

Useless set of people spewing nonsense! The minister is always on the defensive defending a government that has failed in all respects/ramifications, part of which he belongs!

And electricity and banditry too,Mr comparison?

I wonder why those bokoharam,kidnappers,terrorist ,cultist will not form an association and deal with these Nigerian politicians at once?

What are they waiting for? I wish I could have a gun and position myself with some guys and start killing all those politicians so Nigeria can be free from them.

The revolution is needed now and not later.

Let's form a telegram or WhatsApp group before June and get all we want to redeem Nigeria at once.

Can't believe what this irredeemable dimwit is spewing!!!

Lie Muhammad is back on the beat.

As lai mohammed no talk since all dis days... I knw say any time e go talk Na banger e go drop.... Fuel scarcity for almost 2 months and u talk say food price no go increase

He's right but that of Nigeria is exorbitant and occurs with any interruption.
How can REFILL of water dispenser be more expensive in Nigeria than in the US..
Does Nigeria now manufacture water?
Or Is FG also subsidizing water?

People still looking forward to vote APC after this hardship must be a very special kind of stupid.

Even though it is a global problem but other countries are dolling out palliatives to their citizens to help cushion the effects but here the lifeless government is hell bent on killing Nigerians with multiple taxes and obnoxious laws. Buhari is a certified failure simple

This fool again

This old man and his evil party. It is only when it comes to the negative that they will start comparing developed countries with Nigeria. But when it comes to the good things in developed countries like, security, steady electricity, water, good health system, near perfect roads, jobs, efficient transport system and good educational institutions that is devoid of strikes, they will start forming dumb. UK and US will soon start working on how to cussion the effect, like the did during COVID. Lai Mohamed and his people will be comparing

We are used to your lies and excuses for the past years. We can still bear it for the next 14months.

they have come....

The fact that you in particular was the one that announced the news we already kuku know FG will say, it means you were the designated lying machine from the onset.
