With this gang of leaders , Nigeria can only get worse

SoNature:
I'd like to think that we Nigerians either like to deceive ourselves or we are just ignorant of what leadership is. In truth, leadership is NOT all about choosing between good and evil. No!

Think of a leader as a civilian in charge of security operatives chasing after one dangerous terrorist who has masterminded the killing of hundreds in the past. This terrorist runs into a building full of people just to escape from security operatives.

The leader knows that if he tells the security agents to go into the building to arrest the man, he will waste all of them and escape because he's a specialist in doing that. Instead, he tells them to throw bombs into the building, killing the terrorist and other innocent people.

The leader knows that if he keeps that terrorist alive, he will kill more. So, it's better to sacrifice just 5 - 10 innocent people in place of hundreds. That's something these leaders face every now and then.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told Jonathan to remove the petrol subsidy in 2012. She took hours to convince Jonathan. Jonathan took weeks to think about it but wasn't convinced. Considering that his options were limited, Jonathan had to remove it anyways. And it backfired! It nearly led to a countrywide protest - a protester even died at Ojota! That's what it means to be a leader.

So, sometimes, we have to pity our leaders. We don't have access to the information they have. We don't know what they go through at night for making certain decisions. But, I like the way Buhari put it, "You cannot satisfy everyone. Just make a decision that will enable you to sleep at night."

Réré rún. When there is no more excuse, now it has become leadership is hard!
What a pity for my generation.
Leadership is not hard when werey president budgeted 2.2billion naira for the office of the first lady, leadership is not hard when he bought a yatch for five billion, leadership is not hard when- at a time Nigerians where going 2tu hardship cause of bad policies, OLORIBU Tinubu had 48 Ministers the highest so far since 1999 but when he comes to the citizens leadership is hard.

Kó ñí dâ fún Tinubu. Do we begged him to be our president? Oh, lest I forget leadership is not hard when he bypass all protocols to award a contract to a company that his son has a high stake in it.

Kó ñí yé Tinubu. Òkúta ñá má sópã gbèyìn ayé oo

Sad part is he is even paying more in subsidy than previous administrations. When fuel was 145 subsidy was around 50-70. Now it is estimated at almost #400-600 to maintain #600 per liter at 1450/$. Some people will still come here to defend this and claim they love Nigerians more than those that want things to be better.

Ghenghen jokes 🤣🤣😂

Georgry:



Tinubu was very careless to declare that fuel subsidy was gone on the day of his inauguration without even making proper arrangements for the expected ripple effect, floating the Naira immediately after that doesn't make sense either, they created a mess, this government has been so pathetic when it comes to the management of the Nigerian economy.

When I seat down to analyze the removal of fuel subsidy and the subsequent floating of the Naira, one will tend to believe that Tinubu lack the economic competence to lead the country,

What this present government did was purely economic sabotage and suicidal...Look at what they have brought upon on the masses...Paying 3x more than what the previous government was paying in subsidy due to the floating of Naira..

Governance is not about Propaganda and Gra Gra...The reality is that Nigerians are economically better off a year ago than today, this is a sad reality and i never believed that Buhari could be better than anyone else, sadly I have been proven wrong...

Have they agreed that it's been reinstated?

How much Dollars where given to the delegates during APC primary Presidential election by each candidate to bribe them

At a point , the former V.P said they now refuse Naira....lols

If you can waste millions of.dollars to be President, pls just know it is not your turn tp enjoy but work and show a positive difference...

From your analogy, one can infer that even you too have a shallow understanding of leadership. Firstly, any leader that deliberately sacrifices even a single one of his country man's life is not worthy of being called a 'leader'.

Secondly, leadership means integrity. To have integrity means to be virtuous, upright and steadfast. A quality that 90% of our so-called leaders lack. On the issue of subsidy, how on earth does a leader expect sacrifices from the citizens (most of whom are poor) without him sacrificing anything? Why must the citizens bear the brunt of subsidy removal whereas government officials still allocate bogus salaries to themselves?

If people like you keep making excuses for our useless leaders, they won't sit up and face governance. I've read several books and authobiograhies of many world leaders and I can categorically say that 'Nigerian leaders are not only incompetent but cruel'. If they don't burn in the deepest part of hell, then nobody deserves to be judged on 'Judgement Day'.

Well, like a brilliant student, they were able to copy from Peter Obi to a point until he turned to another page and went to pass his paper...

They couldn't copy what he wrote in that page anyway...

We warned people, see , that's why I love the western people, they are so careful with checkmating one with his or her integrity and character...

You can't have Tinubu coming to tell you he will do wonders and you believed him when he was the one that said Buhari is the best.....

Who does that?

Tinubu can never perform better than Buhari , why?
....why because Buhari had a fair ground then to operate until he ended up devouring and messing up everything that was better before he came in..

Tinubu now, doesn't know where to start from, and he didn't come in with the support of the poor masses, he knows how he became President, so he cant really strive that much to provide for the poor masses....

All Tinubu is concerned to an extent now, is to make sure his Loyalist that helped him are well feed and taken care of in this his government....

What does IMF upto, does it want fuel price to go higher than it current price? Wetin concerned IMF, we Nigeria don't care about audio project, we don't want more suffering

Where is the revenue sef?


And where is the money saved from the Subsidy?

Leadership is hard because it is Tinubu.


But when it was from other region, like Jonathan you mentioned, you all made the country ungovernable for him.


It was not hard when you Campaigning and telling us that he is next to fried Chicken,


But now that he is fumbling and destroying the economy, leadership is now hard.


I go nack you 2 by 2 if you were next to me.


Idiots, plundering the country with their foolishness, vote selling, and ballot snatching.

...this post shows someone without any understanding. So as experienced and prepared as he said he was, he waited for small oyinbo new graduates from university at the world bank/IMF to tell him what to do?

The issue is not the subsidy....the biggest mistake he made was accepting to devalue the currency. Now he can't go back. Take that away and he would have been fine with the removal of subsidy.

Faiththatworks:
I think this imperialist and mad neocolonialist are the biggest problem of Asiwaju.
These Mad people told Asiwaju to remove Fuel Subsidy he obeyed,the country went into immeasurable hardship,if the President decides to allegedly reintroduce subsidy on a lower scale to stop the total decimation of the masses,why are these made neocolonialist complaining again.
I totally disbelieve this allegations of subsidy,and these are my reasons.
I say this with a reasonable level of factuality that as of Today,Dangote is selling a litre of Diesel for 850 naira, without any form of Subsidy.
I know people who are loading the product directly from the Refinery and he's selling at 850 naira.
For the sake of argument,let us agree he's selling at 900,I can say factually again if there's any level of Subsidy it should never be in the range of 5 billion Usd.
There's no way Nigeria should pay 5 billion Usd as subsidy this year unless The NNPCL wants to continue stealing all the oil revenue.
My advice to Asiwaju is to instruct the NNPCL to stop the payment of this dubious subsidy and funnel all the money on crude oil sales to the CBN,and instead of paying subsidies to European Refineries,the crude oil should be given to Dangote to Refine.
It doesn't make any sense,I repeat any sense for This country to extract crude oil and sell it overseas,then Use almost half of the proceeds to pay Subsidy.
It's the most foolish Economic principle I have seen in all my life, enough of this stupidity and merry go round stealing.
Asiwaju should man up and stop this Economic sabotage in the name of Subsidy.
God bless Nigeria.

..because they dont make critical national decisions based on sentiments.

I still don't get it. How on earth IMF understand Nigeria situation than the Nigerians

..its too late..he has already made the blunde...He has taken Nigeria 20 years back by devaluing the currency...its gone!!

Bro tinubu should take off his ego and listen to those that have a better idea. Everybody want Nigeria to succeed but he can't do it in this manner. All these things going on is what people were complaining, shouting yet it looked as if we were stupid. Instead of solving the problem he is adding more to it. I don't know why he relies so much on CBN[/quote]

Good morning, if you supported APC in last election good morning again

sulaak:
A leader makes a tough decision that nobody wants to take, and that decision might hurt Nigeria in the short term, but in the long term, it might save Nigeria. Nigeria barely earns $12 billion per annum, and the majority of that fund is wasted on importing a product that we should be producing(refined oil)

Why are the refineries still not working?
Why can't the country export more crude oil?

In 2012, GEJ should have removed oil subsidies and invested in fixing the refineries, but GEJ was never a leader. The consequence is that Tinubu must now make that tough decision, but it also seems that Tinubu is less of a leader than GEJ. The consequence is being kicked down the road.

Elusive001:



You lie.

Tinubu didn't take any tough decision. It was senseless
He copied PO but didn't copy well. This is like the coastal road we are shouting that it is not a priority now. It's just like the tax he is imposing everywhere. There was no iota of plan to contain tye subsidy removal like functional refineries and good business atmosphere to encourage production. It seems that he was told that PO mentioned subsidy removal and fiam he said it without any template.

Can you read? Where did I say Tinunu made the tough decision? I said that Tinubu must make tough decisions, but he is not a leader. You are so up Peter Obi's backside that you cannot read well or reason for yourself.

SoNature:


I will answer this reasonable question in two ways:

1. I understand that Nigeria is designed in way that before you make a lot of money in this country, one may soil his hands. Nigeria isn't designed to favour everyone or help the son or daughter of a nobody become somebody. If my means of making it to the top isn't so clean, I will remain a civilian and make impact the much I can without joining politics because personally I want to introduce a different type of leadership. Without politics, a billionaire can impact many lives and his local community.

2. On the other hand, if I know that I didn't do something that will indite me to make money, I will definitely join politics. I always say that the day I join politics, Nigeria will know that a crazy leader has emerged. The kind of sweeping reforms I will implement in 8 years will make Nigerians talk about me forever. I am infuriated that this country is not growing at the rate we should.

So, yes, I will start from guber election for my state and later take a shot at the presidency so that I can sell myself to the people with my track records. I'll be as vocal as Peter Obi - I will enlighten the sane ones among us to understand the challenges in leadership. However, this will come only after winning the election because opening up before election may paint me as an incompetent or weak person.

Thank you. But you make that no.2 look so easy, while forgetting separation of power.

Don't forget a tree can not make a forest in Nigeria's presidential system of democracy. Do you realise many of those in NA won't share your goals,and you have no power in stopping them from padding budgets? Remember the juicy packages and allowances they legislate for themselves. These are people that invested huge money to get a sit in that Assembly.

Are the governors going to buy into your reforms? What influence do you have to curb them from stealing allocations and make impactful governance in their respective states. Many months after increased monthly allocations they are yet to increase workers salaries,we are talking governors that crushed LG autonomy bill.

You have good intentions,but it won't fly with most of the elected politicians. If you don't compromise, I don't see how you will last 4years without impeachment

I pray you become our president... as a dictator!
