You see why we can’t move forward In Nigeria because we believe everything should be free the Europeans you all admire are managing cost to cut tax. When electricity was cheap I’ll leave my AC on while going out because it’s just 6k a month in 2016 but now I can’t try that rubbish. We’re not disciplined In this country BAT is showing us how to . No matter how you complain as long as there’s value for what you purchase the complaints will be minimal cut your coat according to your size or cutting cost is not a sign of poverty.

Tell yourself the truth... The wastage of our scarce resources is from the leadership not exactly the citizens!!!

Till date, have you heard anything about cutting government expenditure across the three arms of government??!

PBAT is the best of the bunch. None of them is without sin.

People know that they are all oppressors or oppressors in waiting and in training. Including all the electorates join.

No, he is not the best of the bunch...! Outgrow this defeatist and mediocre mindset!

Don't get comfortable being led by corrupt charlatans!


That's even beside the point... He is in that office, and there is nothing anyone can do atm!

I have survived worse, I have been preparing for a 10-year horror since Buhari won that election in 2015! So, I am actually prepared for this!

I honestly saw this coming, and I have been taking prudent steps to mitigate it for myself and household!

Sadly, there are millions of impoverished, desperate, and angry Nigerians we have to contend with, and when push comes to shove, it won't matter how comfortable you are... The "Have nots" will never allow the "Comfortable" to have peace!

vislabraye:
reaThat's a gloomy picture. We just have to wait a and see. I don't have full confidence in this man. I wish he proves me wrong. He was part of the people who brought PMB to power.

Of course, everyone must wait...! But, while waiting, will the poor eat stones??!

inoki247:
Lol no breathing space for the poor...

Don't worry... They will build FDP (Financially Displaced Persons) camps across the nation!

The focus now is to move every poor and average earner into the remote villages!


Just as it was done in the classic Movie "Elysium" starring Matt Damon!



I hope they have enough security on the ground to handle the coming Wave of Crimes??!

Asabe4:
Nigeria should allow the poor breeeeefftt!!!

I don't even pity most of the poor!

They voted massively for their corrupt oppressors because of their tribe and religion!

They are even online insulting people, trolling them as "Losers", "Wailers", etc!

Flets:
Nigerians are in love with their oppressors. Doubt me?, look around you .... if you are nice to a Nigerian, he calls you mumu while they refer to the mean men as strong men

The last Election cleared all doubts about this fact! Stockholm's Syndrome has a home among the brains of most Nigerians!

An average Nigerian will vilify anyone who criticizes those oppressing them especially if you are not from their tribe or religion!

This nation can never be redeemed!!!

Flets:
Before we all get carried away with the media propaganda, here are the summary of Tinubu's government to date:

1. Fuel subsidy is removed and you will buy fuel for 500 to 900naira per liter (depending on the exchange rate). The savings will be looted like that of kerosene and diesel. There will be no commensurate succor/ palliative for your suffering. Instead of going after the subsidy thieves and stopping the smuggling across boarders, they have transferred the responsibility to the helpless Nigerian people.

2. Naira has been devalued (though they call it floating). The FG has handed over the exchange to the market forces where speculators and banks are king. Naira continues to fall in the I/E and parallel market. Anybody who tells you Naira will appreciate is a joker, for a corrupt country like ours, the banks and speculators are the new cabal and will drive the rates how they deem fit. Don’t believe…. Just observe. What most don’t get now is that CBN now has no obligation to provide FX at a particular rate to the market, as such the new FG players can access FX from CBN without noise.

3. FG funding for tertiary education has been removed. Students will pay upwards of 400K tuition fee starting next session. A lot of students will drop out and cannot complete their education anymore. The so-called student loan will be almost impossible for an average student without connection to access. Guess what happens to the savings from this funding…. To be looted by the same people who have impoverished the nation.

4. Electricity tariff have been increased (without increased production) and will take effect from July 1st. This is a death knell to small and medium scale businesses. You are now stuck between the devil (PMS at 550naira per liter) and the blue sea (extra expensive electricity tariff).

5. All the FG has done so far is abandon almost all responsibilities it has over the people through the bills being signed since May 29. All Tinubu has done is to make available funds to be shared by him and his goons at the expense of the people. Not a single bill or action aimed at ameliorating the suffering of the already downcast Nigerian people rather adding to the pain in the guise of elitist policies

6. Guess what…. None of these policies have any impact on the political class and they have not made a single sacrifice. Same old political criminals are back in power, Gbaja, Akume, Asari Dokubo etc and you expect any real change apart from increased suffering?. How do you expect Tinubu to pay back the these same criminals who supported him into power?

Nigerians…. Suffer no dey tire una?

Boss... Off this Mic fess!

Nigerians haven't suffered enough!!! Forget these dull citizens!

TemplarLandry:
Solar energy way...

Yeah... Average Nigerians can easily afford that!

hafeeanubasy:
You will become a leader one day.

Many things are easier said than done!

True... Things are easier said than done.

However, that's why governance is not a solo effort, neither is it done in isolation!

Labor leaders know more than we do about the intricacies and limitations of the current President... That's why they consult very well before making demands!

What they are asking for is not impossible!

If you want the citizens to bear with you, you all at the top must be ready to face inconveniences and cutbacks too! You can't stay at the top living large and going about business as usual but demand that citizens suffer inconveniences!

Death just needed a week to properly clarify before offing her permanently!

hafeeanubasy:
Number 1 will create investor friendly environment. Each company should be at liberty to fix their salary base on their incomr. Your special advisers and ministers will strongly advice you against it.ITS NOT THAT SIMPLE

Number 2 is a bit workable but still not investor friendly

Number 3 is not necessary


Number 4 can be easily done!

You are not seeing the reality!

When schools are not in session, parents will spend less on transporting their kids to schools.

The rest are simply to mitigate impact on the citizens!

You can't kill the poor to sustain the rich! You extract from the rich to sustain the poor!!

Omooba77:
God is always the constant 'C' in any equation.....

Not in Nigeria!

Nigerians are hypocritical and clannish!!!

Armaggedon:
That is why they are 'successful' in Nigerian politics. Poverty is a tool of power ascendancy. Southwest is getting there.

Precisely!

Poverty has been weaponized aided by Ethnicity and Religion!

That's over 30% of the population!

This means over 50% of Nigerians are POOR!

It took APC just 8 years to do the impossible! Damn!

Only in Nairaland will such a beautiful topic worthy of greater discourse be turned into a tribal war zone!


Can you all see why your corrupt leaders will never be bothered about doing the right things?!!

Nigerians sha...!

Those of you who invest in schemes owned and operated by Nigerians get mind!

Even if you are a Bishop or Reverend, I will never put a dime of my money!

hafeeanubasy:
So,if you are the government what will you do?

1. Put forth a bill protecting workers rights in both private and public organization! This will compel Private practices to replicate everything FG is doing for their workers.

2. Sequel to the above, there should be reduced working days for all workers especially those earning less. Most can be converted to remote or hybrid.

3. Extend resumption of schools this coming academic session.

4. Release mass buses for workers in public and private. You get in with an ID.

Of course, these ought to have been put in place before removing the subsidy!

Sigh... Even Qatar too!

So, these bastards are just allergic to honest and legit hustle!

Even when they go to nations with great opportunities for success, they will still look for crime to perpetuate.

True true, Dem swear for these people! Spits!!!

hafeeanubasy:
Demand increase from your employers too,have they not increased the price of their service and goods too?

Lol... Demand?!! In a private sector! Hehehehe!

You people just make comments as if Nigeria functions exactly like UK or U.S! It's just amusing!

This Subsidy removal is the right step, but the fallout has not been properly managed!

There is no easy way about turning Nigeria around, but you can't just ask suffering people to suffer beyond their already pitiable states!

The only people cushioned against subsidy removal are the very wealthy, who happen to be less than a tenth of this Nation's population!

This is unacceptable!!!

successmatters:
By now, Peter Obi would have made the changes that will bring insecurity down to a very low level. It will still happen, Nigeria must be safe again.

Be realistic...! There is really nothing Obi would have done better than what Tinubu is doing currently!

SMH...! Useless leaders!

Southeast people never ready to really address this nonsense called Insecurity!

Once upon a time, it was used to heavily criticize and taunt Buhari...!

Buhari has left office...! Y'all better clean up your backyards!

The nation?!! I must be in another nation because I ain't intrigued, neither am I holding my breath!


100 days in office go soon reach, we need to start seeing something akin to results!

Confirmedzombie:
The Governor said the truth and he has won my support.

The 5 South East states should be converted and reduced to 2 stares.

There no single state in SE that us developed.

Igbos should go home and develop their states.

Go to umuahia bad roads, red mud houses

No night, no portable water, they still drink water from River.

Oh Lord who did ndigbo offend.

Apart from Lagos and Abuja, name the states in Nigeria that can be described as well developed?!! I will wait!

Before you fail this simple test, go find out what it means for a state to be "well developed"!

Even Lagos and Abuja still reek of mediocrity when compared to major cities of lesser nations in Africa!

SangoOlukosoOba:
Someone finally said the truth!

I have said it repeatedly and will re-emphasize that, the entirety of the South East is a glorified village.

Ordinarily, all of those states should not make up more than 2 states.

Obudu Cattle Ranch is still more developed than most of what they call towns and cities.

Beyond Capital cities, how many states in Nigeria are actually developed and modernized with standard infrastructures?!!

Please, list them!

Before you make a further fool of yourself, know that I'm well travelled! I know Nigeria well!

Is it Edo?!! Delta?! Osun?!! Oyo?!! Zamfara?!! Enugu?!! Sokoto?!! Katsina?!!

Which one?!!

When did the Colonialists hand over the nation?!! Beyond the work they did in Lagos, and other major cities, what have you Nigerians achieved in terms of developmental strides across all the towns in this third world nation?!!

How many states in Nigeria have international standard hospitals in Nigeria?!!

Even your elected president who owns Lagos can't even do a simple check up in any hospital in Lagos!


So, on what grounds do you isolate a region for insults as if other regions are not laughably and shamefully underdeveloped?!!

You people need to have a word with yourselves!!!

Your leaders are fvcking with your destinies, but you are comfortable insulting one another because of religion and ethnicity! SMH!!!

I don't suffer excuses... But, PDP did a number on Abia state! The entire nation, in short!

Sadly, APC is doing even worse!

Who even gives a fvck about the relationship between charlatans?!!

The current governor should deliver a far better administration than his predecessors! Simple!!

hashtagged:
He is right to an extent. At this point we needed a Christian as a senate President. To balance the power between Christian and Muslims.

That's why though incompetent akpaibo was chosen to even the odds

We can't have 123 positions all Muslims. Which Muslim would want 123 positions as Christians.

What top positions are occupied by Christians apart from Senate President?!!

Please, list them!

Where is the Balance?!!!

MindHacker9009:
No Asari is preparing the way to be the president of Nigeria

This made me laugh... But, what else is new in this 3rd world nation?!!

Even MC Oluomo is on track to lead Lagos in the near future!!!

Sunisonflex39:
Better they Invite nairaland very own Dbull or Airforce1to perform that tht olosho..does that event even ask for someone like her? What happened to Asa ND the likes..

I just taya!... Look at the clear embarrassment on the faces of most of the guests!
