There is NO free lunch in life.

Subsidy can kill Nigeria. angry
says a dumb citizen, it's people like you that is giving these crooked leaders the courage to treat the citizens any how, because there will be no consequences, as long as they have dumb citizens like you.
from the inception of the Nigeria independence, the political class has always been subsidizing their luxurious lifestyles , and Nigeria have not collapsed, instead of reducing the level of the subsidy for the political class, they are even increasing and expanding it, to include hardship allowance, yet when it come to little subsidy that will benefit the masses, they will brainwash you that the economy will crash, but as regards their own subsidy, the economy will never clash. pls stop supporting these criminals, it makes you look dumb.

The issues are different.

The elite still gain MORE from the subsidies.

Somebody will just sit down somewhere and make an empty claim and get paid. The masses gain little.

It's better to take the subsidy away. It will surprise you that the trillions paid as electricity subsidy should not be more than some hundred billions in actual fact. angry

Laughing real hard here grin grin grin
All these subsidies that they are removing so that masses wouldn't benefit anything directly from the government, whose pockets does it ends up now? No be the same elites that you're shouting? 100% of it is now ending up in their pockets.

Tinubu removed subsidies, gave govs double of their usual allocations and palliatives, govs sat on everything. So bad that Tinubu himself was begging them to do little for the masses. Lol.

They have now turned governance to masses versus elites. They're inflicting hardships on masses, putting more people into poverty, eroding middle class and still selling us dummy that they are fighting elites on behalf of the masses. Meanwhile, masses are still the ones bearing the brunt.

Whatever Tinubu removes from the masses, elites will always have their own share through the back door. Look at how NA padded the 2024 budget and Tinubu still signed it! They added 3 trillion naira and you're being told that elites are being punished grin grin grin

It's not the necessity of the reforms that's in question, it's the way it's conducted that raises the blood pressure.

Is Nigeria poor? No! No it's not. So the problem is that a few evilheads have captured the majority of resources at various levels, forcing the govt to appear poor and have to subsidise everything.

Rather than do any bloody thing to address that meaningfully, we're going to focus on balancing the resources that are only artificial scarce.

This approach makes sense if Nigeria is a poor country. It's not.

As long as a senator who is barely educated and a public servant is paid a gazillion times more than a professor or doctor who is highly educated, useful to the public, and also a public servant... We're just punishing the poor.

lexy2014:


is 90bn for Muslim hajj not free lunch? is #153bn SUV and 200m to each senator not free lunch?

does Tinubu, his vice, his chief of staff, his ministers, governors, senate president pay for their clothing, feeding, calls, internet, security, medical bills, accommodation, travelling abroad?

is that not free lunch?

is it "free lunch" when the citizens enjoy it or it is not a free lunch when politicians enjoy it?

if the exorbitant freebies the political leaders of Nigeria enjoy at the expense of Nigeria has not killed Nigeria, why and how should subsidised electricity for Nigerians kill Nigeria?

You have time to reply those senseless APC minions who have no hope but to post rubbish propaganda
