enemyofprogress: 7 PROBLEMS EVERY NIGERIAN MIGHT FACE IF TINUBU RETURNS IN 2027
I respect Tinubu as an elder statesman, and I am not loyal to any political party.
So, what I am about to write is not driven by sentiment, political hatred, or blind opposition. It is based on the realities confronting Nigerians today.
It does not matter whether you support Tinubu, belong to the APC, or have never voted in your life. Whether you are young or old, male or female, so long as you are a Nigerian living in Nigeria, these are seven serious difficulties you should expect if Tinubu retains power in 2027:
1. ELECTRICITY SUBSIDY WILL BE REMOVED
The government has announced plans to end electricity subsidies in 2027. In simple terms, this means Nigerians will have to pay more for electricity.
Remember, the way petrol went from 187 naira to 1400 naira when Tinubu removed subsidy? Same way, the price of electricity will skyrocket suddenly.
The plan to remove the electricity subsidy is already in the cooler and I believe it will be one of the policies Tinubu will implement if he should retain power in 2027. So, everyone should fasten their seatbelt, because it will be a long ride.
Fortunately for Tinubu, this won't affect him in anyway. Remember he already invested 17 billion naira to install solar in Aso Rock. It's you and I that will bear the brunt. Wait for it...
2. FUEL PRICES WILL INCREASE FURTHER
With the removal of the petrol subsidy, Nigerians are now more exposed to changes in fuel prices. Global oil prices, exchange rates, and the cost of supplying petrol can all push prices higher.
If fuel can be this expensive at a time when Tinubu is seeking reelection, imagine what will happen the moment he grabs power again? A litre of fuel might have risen up to 5000 naira before he leaves office in 2031.
Fortunately for Tinubu and his cohort, they don't pay for fuel. They get petrol free of charge. Upon that, they get millions of naira monthly as fuel allowance.
In other news, it is you and I that will pay with our hard earned money. Hope everyone is warming up? Eku imunra o.
3. THE PROPOSED 5% FUEL SURCHARGE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
Nigeria's tax law contains a provision for a 5% surcharge on fuel.
Apart from the subsidy removal, we'll start paying another 5% tax on every litre of fuel we buy.
Let me explain what this means in simple terms. Assuming you buy fuel of ₦10,000, a 5% charge would amount to an additional ₦500. So for every ₦10,000 fuel, you pay a tax of ₦500, which makes a total of ₦10,500.
Or If you buy ₦100,000 worth of fuel, you pay tax of 5000 naira, that's ₦105,000
I believe that this one will take effect the moment Tinubu is declared winner. Every Nigerian can bear witness to how he loves to impose tax on poor people. This one cannot be negotiated.
4. FOOD PRICES WILL FURTHER INCREASE
In Nigeria, the price of fuel directly impacts the price of every other commodities, including food items.
So, whatever makes the price of fuel goes up more simply means cost of food items will also rise.
I know that food items are already expensive. But we are only seeing SIGNS right now. If Tinubu should win again, we will then see WONDERS, the elder brother of signs.
I'm just wondering how families will survive when its income remains the same but the cost of feeding continues to rise? Hunger does not care which political party you support or if you're same tribe with President. Everybody go line up!
5. INSECURITY WILL MOST LIKELY WORSEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, and attacks on communities have become an everyday incident in Nigeria.
We sleep in fear everyday and we wake up waiting for news of the next victims.
Sad to say, these evil occurrences may further advance if Tinubu retains power in 2027.
This is because life will be harder for ordinary Nigerians. And this will increase the rate of crime because people have to survive.
Again, it will be a foolish and wishful thinking for anyone to believe that Tinubu that cannot handle insecurity when he's seeking reelection will handle it when he no longer needs our votes.
Right now, those in the South-East and South-South are still somewhat spared from the menace. I'm afraid the terror might spread to every region should Tinubu return to office.
Meanwhile, Tinubu and his cohorts will not be under any form of security threat because they move about with heavily armed security protocols and they drive in bulletproof vehicles. It is the rest of us that are at risk.
6. THE NEW TAX REFORM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
Nigeria's new tax laws have introduced a revised system of personal income taxation. This means Nigerian workers and business men that fall within the taxable range will be paying from 15 to 30% of their total income to government.
This tax law is already warming up in the cooler. If APC should win, you already know what the tax master will do now.
Many companies vacated Nigeria because of unfavorable economy. Imagine imposing more tax on already struggling workers and businesses? Chai!
7. GREEN CHARGES WILL MAKE IMPORTED CARS MORE EXPENSIVE
Environmental surcharges have been introduced for certain motor vehicles, particularly those with engine capacities of 2,000cc and above.
In simple terms, more money will be paid to clear cars that are imported into the country.
So, when your dealer increases cost of cars, don't blame him. Na wetin him buy he go sell.
If you are planning to buy car, you better do it now. If Tinubu should win again, cars will no longer be affordable. Just use your money and buy ponmo wey get pepper 😂
THE WAY FORWARD
Let us put sentiment aside for once
A politician is not your personal saviour. He's there to serve the people. You should never defend politicians whose policies continue to destroy your purchasing power because he belongs to your preferred party, practices same religion or from same tribe as you.
Well, every Nigerian has the right to vote for politicians of their choice. But let's keep in mind that for every choice, there are consequences.
If you support Tinubu in the coming election, you lose the right to complain of hardship because the handwriting is clear enough. Even the blind can see.
I know that some people will start asking me who they should vote for.
Let your good conscience and the spirit of God guide you.
I know that, if Nigerians are ready, we will rescue our country.
Power belongs to the people, if we know our right.
Lithiumite: Take tinubu"s sagacity aside,gej is a very diffrent personality from him also gej wasn't as grounded as tinubu was before becoming president, he had no political capital and didn't have the networks and entrenched structures.......lastly tribes matter,if gej were to be igbo or yoruba,it wouldn't have been easy for the northerners to run roughshod over him but he was from a minority tribe.
He had a solid majority tribe (IGBO) backing It was more or less Igbo government
franchasng: Igbo vs Yoruba America vs Russia Titus vs Mackerel Mercedes Benz vs BMW Samsung vs LG Apple mobile phone vs Samsung Mobile phone Toyota vs Honda Ibadan people vs Ijebu Ode people
blamingthedevil: Tinubu highlighted Kwankwaso’s contributions as a two-term Governor of Kano State, former Minister of Defence, former Senator for Kano Central, former presidential candidate, and now a presidential running mate. He called him “an influential figure and a progressive politician.”
nedu666: Op thinks jp Morgan, citibank, HSBC are in Nigeria because of ordinary Nigerians. Those guys are here for high network individuals. People who want to move money in secret. Dem govs and Ministers
But if they were already in the country and they are leaving you will be shouting "Tinubu has spoilt this country" ike person wey dem dey press hot Iron on his blokus.
You guys dont want a better country. You just want your tribe or religion person to be the president and it will never happen by the special grace of God.
cr7lomo: I said this a couple of years ago...that the yorubas will never smell leadership ever again... even VP , dem no go see again... watch them play the Nnamdi Kanu card in the future as things will not be going for them in government again like in the 60s ... they have not just shut themselves in the foot...they just shut themselves in the spine
Even Abacha babangida buhari combined, no punish Nigerians like this with so much tribal bigotry... see first lady acting like say na she be president.... they murdered the so called democracy they said they were fighting for... now , they have been exposed .... I guess this is why Awolowo and Abiola were never given a chance.... obasanjo was never wanted by them....reason they dont like or respect him... cos he isn't ur typical Yoruba man... Tinubu is a typical Yoruba man like Awolowo and Abiola
A tribe that is still struggling to produce a VP is threatening a tribe that became a president again 16yrs after one of his son left
If you are not very careful,they will still produce one before you people will even become a VP post 1999
Irony1: You are the negative person here. Ahhhh see premium gaslighting you are the negative one accusing others of negativity. No be juju be dat?
ITS MY TURN mean ITS MY TURN to contest since he last contested 16years prior and he has been been helping other to contest,but you chose to get rage baited on a very innocent normal expression
psalmsjob: The bitter Peter Obi supporters will not like this news because it is a good news for Nigeria. They will start asking how this makes garri cheap but these are the type of institutions they quote before to say Nigeria is worthless and how Vietnam is better thsn Nigeria sowhen those same institution are upgrading Nigeria up and down due to the reforms of the Tinubu administration theur hatred of Nigeria and Tinubu because of his tribe makes the drool about how these same institutions have in their wordscollected agbado or ewa
Even Atiku lackeys too
AMINDA a.k.a Dele Momodu was the first person to submit his tears
AMINDA: We are now back to chasing validation from foreign bodies and celebrating phantom statistics but if the Worldbank drops an unfavourable data like they did yesterday, Tinubu lackeys will go up in arms against them, in protest. What a circus!
If you also believe negative world bank data,believe this too.
Godownsit: You're lying. They should see themselves as someone that can be used for the nation's assignments, as the presidency is a position in trust and not monarchial that you know who is the next.
They should see themselves as ITS IS THEIR TURN to be used for the nation's assignment,as the presidency is a position in trust and not monarchial that you know who is next(YOU KNOW WHO IS NEXT FROM ALL WHO PRESENTED THEMSELVES).
Dont allow hate for the person that made a statement affect your judgement.Use your brain not emotions!
Godownsit: Mr. Man, personalizing it makes it wrong. Please who did the roll call of those to be president in this country that Tinubu has to come out to say it is his turn. Please after him, whose next turn? Can you give us the name of the person and the list of those on the line for the next 50 years? We take so many things lightly in this country and that is why many leaders will just do whatever they like and get away with it. It is senseless for someone to say it is my turn and people fell for it without asking question, who chose you? Nations give leadership in trust and no one owns it. Tinubu really played on the intelligence of the good people of the nation and he get away with it.
After him, Anyone that thinks its his turn should also come out.Simple!....You people prefer polician to lie to you that "PEOPLE CALL THEN TO COME AND SERVE" when in actual sense,the call themselve.
For you to get the form of a party ,it means you believe ITS YOUR TURN to be next occupier of the office.
You people should view things without hypocrisy and hate for once.
You only have problem with the the person that make the state and then project it to the statement,simple!
anonimi: If people support a candidate simply because of his turn in our tribalistic politics of zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption at local, state and federal levels both in the legislative and executive branches, then how can we ever have a prosperous country with law abiding citizens enjoying government services and public utilities?
How can we ever get these basic things, instead of doing japa to oyinbo places that hardly tolerate our presence
Rhozabeth: Everything is wrong with it! Those that knew him knows that he is a disaster and for him to say that means he is feeling entitled to the presidency. The Question is how? What has he done in the lives of Nigerians in totality to deserve to become the president?
Who are those that know him?
Tinubu is not just a pretender like others.
Be truthful for once. Contribute to issue without being hateful for once
nairalanda1: Bola na bad leader, no be lie, but let's face the hard truth...Nigeria has always been poor. It was just his luck that bola got handed the leadership at the time when we ran out of money we were borrowing to hide our poverty, but the fact is , him no dey do what would get us out of poverty...increasing productivity.
That's the thing that annoys me about our leadership and opposition. We effing need an emergency plan to boost domestic productivity, and employment in the next ten years or less. Instead na to borrow money to do subsidy or to do welfare we dey talk about.
How does government directly increase productivity
