A sin is a sin. Go buy that. Your sin will be forgiven.

A land of opportunity

IMF= economic hardship

I miss Jonathan. His successors are full of nonsense.

Something the elders failed to do, gen Z has done it.

Kobojunkie:
I see that a lot among Nigerians. 🙄

....it's people, not only Nigerians.

Tianamen1:
Kobojunkie is actually right. The way she explains her points is not totally clear. the reforms both in the 80's and now are not bad, the issue is the implementation.

The recent fuel subsidy removal has been a disaster because the government was supposed to make many policy changes such as reducing the cost of governance, streamlining the MDAs, raising taxes on wealthier Nigerians, etc, to help stabilise the Naira.

Fuel may not have reached N200 without subsidies if proper policies were implemented. What you are paying for is the collapse in the value of the Naira. The government wants you to believe that it is because of debt, the IMF or World Bank. This is false.

The naira's fall is a result of over-importation of unnecessary goods(read the article Kobojunkie posted), and other wastefulness by the government.

Tinubu's removal of subsidies without tackling the causes of the Naira's weakness led to the disaster Nigerians are facing. Not the IMF or the World Bank.

....just like failed reforms, T-Pain failed to learn from unsuccessful measures.

Kobojunkie:
Nigerians ehn...even in the information age....sad...,🥱

….People can be gullible in the digital era.

Kobojunkie:
Common sense reforms are majorly designed to help people, not make them worse off. Many of the same reforms that were suggested to Nigeria were at some point in time implemented here in the United States. How come here in the United States, the lives of people are not as bad as the lives of people in Nigeria are? Care to answer that question for us?

…. I don’t care about your geographical location. Thanks

Kobojunkie:
Please stop speaking out of ignorance... Reforms are necessary resolves to issues, not headaches like your corrupt government has instead programmed you all to believe.

….your ignorance and gullibility are beyond measure. Thanks.

Kobojunkie:
None of what I stated here is of opinion as evidence after evidence available free of charge online proves that Babangida NEVER implemented SAP as it ought to have. Yes, the fully engaged media propaganda machine at the time told Nigerians to blame all of the suffering on SAP. Some suspected of course that something else was going on however the non-transparent approach of the government at the time left us all wanting to believe that it did implement all of the reforms as it claimed. But now there's no denying the fact that it did not. Fuel-Subsidy stands as a major proof of this. Another proof is the non-privation of State-owned businesses such as NNPC, NEPA, etc., back during the SAP years.

…..either poorly implemented or not, reforms are meaningless if people are worst off.

Kobojunkie:
SAP was presented during the IBB years and the Government at the time pretended it was serious about implementing the reforms back then. Only now do we know, thanks to the information age, that the Babangida government mostly liked the Nigerian people, stole the country blind and told the people to blame all of their suffering on SAP reforms.

…..reforms are headaches to the people - SAP inclusive.

Kobojunkie:
Babangida is the president who told Nigeria that he implemented SAP. The media at the time inundated us all with reports of how SAP was to blame for all of the suffering that we were going through. But now that were are in the information age, and can go back to review what happened for ourselves, we can see that we were hoodwinked by the Babangida government as it never in fact implemented SAPS reforms but rather played a scam on Nigerians pretending that it did.

Here's something most Nigerians today don't seem to know. If Babangida had implemented SAP reforms, fuel subsidies would not have been in existence to this day at all. It would have been a past issue for Nigeria. We are dealing right now with this Fuel-Subsidy fraud today because Babangida DID NOT fully implement SAP. There are many other things on the SAP list that the Babangida government did not implement. So, when Nigerians say that SAP had a hand in the problems in Nigeria at the time, they are wrong in that assumption. Please see the following documents for more information. https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/evaluation-of-nigeria-s-debt-relief-experience-1985-1990_728878867073

….you are entitled to your opinion and sources. All the reforms of previous and Mr. T- pain reforms negatively impacted the Nigerian economy. Each previous administration had had draconian measures.

Kobojunkie:
Why don't you Google SAP Implementation in Nigeria yourself and tell us exactly which of the 6-7 major reforms that were in fact implemented by IBB or Abacha for that matter.

You are the one here who claimed the corrupt Government of IBB infact implemented SAP in Nigeria --- actual successful implementation --- and I am wanting you to provide us with proof of this. Today we have another corrupt Government in place which has failed in over 18 months to implement subsidy removal in Nigeria yet here we have many Nigerians already quick to blame World Bank for the shege they have had to endure in the last 18 months. Don't you see how your government has been pulling the wool of misinformation over your eyes for the longest?

...first off, I didn't mention any names. Again, previous Nigerian government had had meaningless reforms that had adversely impacted the citizenry. You mentioned SAP - mostly SAP.

Kobojunkie:
Which of the reforms since 1989 were in fact implemented in Nigeria?

....Google Nigerian military and democratic history.

Nigeria has had her so called reform since 1989. What a rogue state headed by Mr. Daju (Mean).

NNPC acted on Tinubu's instruction. He will not reverse the fuel price hike. He who the gods must destroy, will first make mad or adamant on little stuff

Tinubu is the problem. The problem is Tinubu.

They want us dead.

He is a mean and clueless president.

Joy is coming? Petro is #1,000 +.

Rotimi should lead by example.

Some folks like to give wrong advice to her citizens. Akapabio and his cohorts should stop embezzling public fund and creating hardship. Government should create an enabling environment, then people will stop to japa.

Habbeyy:

Be like say Shaibu na the current Edo state governor of, wey obaseki?

...Obaseki is in Italy. I am not sure he will return.

Senseless policy.

femi4:
If they japa tomorrow, nobody should question their level of patriotism

….poverty is an enemy to patriotism.

There’s nothing like deleting contacts on IPhone 16 series.

Buhari has nothing to do with Tinubu draconian economic policy.

Tinubu is 99% of Nigerians problems . Cabinet reshuffles are not the problem of Nigerians. He should reverse his draconian economic reforms.

Georgry:
No be say una go still do better thing, all of una useless.

…..even if Jesus becomes a Nigerian governor, I tell you he won’t perform nada.
