Before he left office, Buhari set up a possible 24 years of unbroken Muslim presidency for Nigeria:
Buhari 8 years;
Tinubu possible 8 years;
Shettima possible 8 years.

Those Nigerians who say it's not possible to Islamize Nigeria are misleading others.

Try and be reasonable.

Nigeria is a SECULAR state according to the constitution - which means Nigeria has no official religion.

No individual can stand up to declare Nigeria as a Christian or Muslim nation - It is a constitutional matter. Your argument reeks of total ignorance.

This is more reason the FG and the State Governments should stop sponsoring people to Hajj or Jerusalem. It is against the position of the constitution and it is one of the conduits through which our foreign reserves is being depleted. FG should stop subsidising all these trips.

The TAQQIYA people on Nl.

Islamists in control of Nigeria are using govrrnment instruments to expand Islam to all sections of Nigeria, Islamic terrorists are ending Christianity in the NE, struggling to do same in the Middle Belt.

If you are not on TAQQIYA, it's only an ignoramus who would think that someone declaring Nigeria as an Islamic state is the way to make Nigeria an Islamic Republic.

For better things to happen, price must be paid

price must be paid? By same sort of politicians that foisted this corruption in the first place? I’m telling you this, that without production, no matter the price paid, never will petrol price go below 500 naira, ever. Never will dollar price fall below 500 naira ever. All this will do is slightly add small money into the reserve, that will be stolen again by another politician, and the merry go round continues till maybe the country is no more or its people no more due to hunger, suffering and famine. You know this is true.

Flets:


You guys should stop this deceit. They should go after the subsidy thieves and close our borders to smuggling products.

They should prosecute and jail defaulters. They should subsidize our true consumption which is about 15million liters a day and not the 66 million liters they claim due to corruption.

They should reduce the cost of governance , their allowances and lots of waste to be cut first. Government is about the people and not about the politicians.

They should fix the power sector and provide enablers for the manufacturing sector

There are lots to be done before total removal of subsidy. Everyday we hear this politician stole 130 billon, another 77 billion….. unending looting.

They should not transfer the inefficiencies of governance to the people. These criminals in power must be held accountable

I doubt you have ever been to Nigeria border. It is long and porous. Even the almighty America struggles to police their own border. Policing border as big as Nigeria is not a child's play. Extremely complex and extremely expensive.

Yes! they should reduce cost of governance. I accept and this is what the NLC should be fighting fiercely for.

Fixing power sector is not that easy either. Expensive and complex. It is a long term project.

Both the politicians and the citizens must realise time has changed but alas, only citizens are feeling the brunt.

Those Nigerians who say it's not possible to Islamize Nigeria are misleading others.

To save the masses in Nigeria from possible religious conflicts, it's best the 12 sharia states have Arewa Islamic Republic to practise the sharia criminal justice they embraced. Let the SW region which formed Amotekun to have Oduduwa Republic;
Let the east form its Biafra and let the other ethnic groups in either the North or South, form their new countries.
If not, men like this Sokoto state governor are a menace to continuing one Nigeria.

One Nigeria is not working. We are more divided today than ever.

Of course, the pot that will eat stew must first be hot!

So, what's the point that we'll be able to say things are now better or is it all about surviving?
We survived under Buhari and GEJ!!

bareal:



In short, no way forward. Let's just wait till the call of Almighty, then we'll leave one after the other.

hahaha first time I m laughing on nairaland. If Peter Obi no come in now weh Tinubu never damage the economy much, he can still fix it. but the damage is getting to beyond fixing level.

MT:


Maybe you don't know that the previous fixed exchange rate would push Nigeria into the abyss. The FG kept defending the Naira against the USD ALWAYS in order to keep the official rate. By so doing, FG kept depleting our foreign reserve. That approach will also make Nigeria worse off. By floating it, FG does not need to deplete the foreign reserve again, and market forces will simply determine the price.

The sad thing is that when a local currency depreciates against the USD, it is a good news for the local exporters as their goods and services will become cheap for those abroad, thus patronage will increase, and Nigeria will gain more USD. Sadly, we produce virtually nothing, and Nigeria cannot capitalise on this current opportunity.

You cannot blame Tinubu for that as he has just become the president. Stimulating local production depends on a number of variables which are mostly long term.

Everyone will suffer for many years of bad managed economy. There is no shortcut to it.

Is good news for local exporter and bad news for importers and local consumers as price of commoduties increases. the truth is that our politicials and Tinubu deals in dollars so they wouldnt feel the pain. we see how dollars was flowing during APC Primaries so the common man who dont have access to this dollar are the one to pay through their nose to purchase commoduties locally

This is the problem with govt defenders like you. Your hypocrisy stinks and you try to hide in under the garb of being rational.
The govt is very quick to close border but you make excuses for them that policing same border they close and open at will is complex and costly. Why don't they just leave the border as it is then instead of turning it to a gate they close and open at will?

You have suddenly turned the issue of cutting cost of governance to NLC vs Govt in a tit for tat manner. If govt removes subsidy, NLC should "fight fiercely" to reduce cost of running govt. May I ask you if that's part of the core mandate of NLC? NLC is presently asking for minimum wage review and they're yet to make headway yet you add fighting for reduction of running cost of govt to their plate. May i ask you what exactly is on govt's(executive and legislature) plate then?
Fixing power sector is not easy? But removing subsidy on power and floating forex leading to electricity tariff hike is abi?

I will first advise you to stop being emotional. High blood pressure is real and it is no respecter of a person.

You claim you are rational, and yet you dont know that when it comes to smuggling, smugglers dont pass through the official border. They turn any part of our perimeter to entry and exit. The illegal aliens going into US, are they making use of the normal official route ?. Try and be reasonable. Like I earlier said, you have never seen any part of the perimeter of Nigeria, maybe you will suggest it should be fenced .

NLC is a pressure group, and it is right under their purview to press the Govt to reduce cost of governance. You claim to be learned, yet you dont know that if NLC keeps fighting for increase in salary, it will lead to inflation which will erode any gains the NLC might feel they have made. How many percentage of Nigerians are civil servants? Increasing the value of the naira is more reasonable to increase the purchasing power of the people. This wont happen overnight but they need to keep pressing the Govt.

You are asking about the function of the executive of the executive / Legislature - In your mind, the president will just say things and it will start happening or the legislature will wake up one day to reduce their own earning. Immense pressure from outside can force their hands, and remember the power of the president is NOT absolute. He is not a King and he is bound by the constitution. Most of what you ask the president to do, if he attempts it, he will be impeached and kicked out of the office.

As for the power sector, you are not being realistic if you feel it is that easy. Even South Africa is rationing electricity due to drop in their power grid. It amazes me how some people who cannot govern a family of 3 will suddenly wake up to be unrealistically advising someone who is governing the most populous black nation. If it is that easy, you should have thrown your hat into the ring and contest.

In a bid to sound political correct, think of your health first because the way you are sounding can only lead to one outcome.

nairalanda1:


Whatever you think of me, subsidy is no longer sustainable.

Reality is not favorable to us all the time.

Lord knows, I wish it was other wise, I effing wish it was otherwise.

You don't understand what he's saying. Yes, subsidy is very sustainable, but not in a country like ours. Again, the alternative is like saying "since we have goats (criminal politicians) let's not grow yam for the masses". Sadly, while we sacrifice our right to eat yam (subsidy), they're growing their barns (cost of governance), while at the same time starving us of other staples (cheap education, electricity etc).

In essence, the only reason subsidy isn't sustainable as you posited is CORRUPTION, and removing subsidy hasn't tackled the problem (mass poverty). Nigeria is moving in circles.

Now I agree with you, but the main issue with subsidy is not the associated corruption

The main issue with subsidy....please listen to me, because this is important....is that Nigeria cannot do anything about the cost of production and transport of fuel.

That cost keeps rising. And once it keeps rising , so does subsidy costs as well.

Right now, government is owing NNPC heavily...because sudden rises in oil prices last year to over 100 dollars per barrel, raisng subsidy costs.

We tried to control it in the past...and such wack economic measures led to us losing domestic refining capacity over several years from 1993, to 2016.

As harsh as it sounds, subsidy had to go. My own be say that we should have removed it ages ago.

Shove your advice down your pocket. It is useless to me. Save it for your fellow zombies. I'm only here to expose your hypocrisy as a paid agent.
What part of Nigeria have you been to? Is it Lagos or Oyo, Niger or Kwara to tell me about Nigeria's borders. Even an kid who has been to badagry will see all the modified vehicles going to and fro the border without anyone stopping them yet this dude is capping nonsense. FYI, even the US has a border wall. Yes, that's the wall you think is a stupid idea with your laughing emoji. And millions of those illegal migrants get caught and deported and the US has never closed its borders simply due to the activities of smugglers. What they do is tighten border security like a responsible govt should.

You can quote the part of NLC mandate that gives them the responsibility to "fight fiercely" for govt running cost reduction. NLC's mandate is workers' welfare. If those you voted into office do not have enough patriotism in them to reduce the cost of governance, it is only an hypocrite that will push that to NLC who have no business with it. It is just like an employee asking his employer to prune down the cost of running the office. Does it not sound daft to even you?

And it's funny you think increasing the wages of workers will increase inflation but not subsidy removal or floating exchange rate. Do you even realize that it is the same govt that took both decisions that has a responsibility to curb inflation? To show you how watery your point is, same govt that floated the naira just three weeks ago is defending the naira this week. Your govt is opening your yansh up to IMF and WB to come and rip you off yet you are complaining against wage increment. You think this is the first govt to float Naira or attempt subsidy removal? Go and get yourself properly educated before you start typing abeg.

So the President can remove social welfare and he will not be impeached but he cannot reduce govt running cost else he will be impeached. Are you even listening to yourself? Whose interests should be supreme to the President? The generality of Nigerians or a few politicians? I thought y'all said TInubu has all the balls and courage to do whatever he wants. Suddenly he's at the mercy of politicians!! Hypocrisy again.

Suddenly nothing is easy anymore. You are just making halfwitty excuse. If your govt know they can't improve on things, then they have no business making it worse.

Again shove your advice in your throat

Referring to the US, did the US fence the entire border?

The Federal Government yesterday got a piece of advice on its planned austerity measures. It should reduce its running cost, workers said.

This is the first line of your link. Unfortunately, you failed to read. Typical of half-baked Nigerian graduates. NLC gave FG an advice. I expect you know an advice is not something you "fight fiercely" to have implemented. I have also noticed you have been calling NLC a pressure group. Your aim is to make NLC a strawman to cover incompetence and insincerity of your paymasters. NLC is a labour union whose mandate and responsibility is to workers. You should know the difference between that and a pressure group as you have been putting it.

You have descended to the US not fencing the entire border. You see how half smart you are now? There is over 900km of border wall in the US with other areas covered by sensors, cameras and drones, yet you are saying, at least they didn't build everything. Such a dumb riposte!!

You have now arrived at it is because of hate for Tinubu. Does my "hate" for Tinubu have any bearing on his ability to perform or otherwise?

Does my hate for him increase how much his policies affect me good or bad, or does your love for him reduce the effect of subsidy, electricity and forex on your pocket? Try and be rational na

if you say that the cost of subsidy keeps rising because of the cost of producing fuel, can you pls tell us what it cost to produce a litre of fuel now and in the past

you should also do justice to the following as it related to your comments?

What is the percentage of each litre of fuel the government paid as subsisdy?

How much percentage did it decrease to after each "removal" of Subsidy?

Which subsidy did NNPCL say was removed in 2020 and which one are they still talking about in 2023?
