You are right…. I believe natural instinct to survive once triggered will force these significant minority to unite against the injustices and bad government policies that is killing Nigerians…. The political nationwide revolution that will sweep away Tinubu, his APC government and other heartless politicians may happen before the end of this year….
I think "this year" is optimistic, but I'm going to chose to believe you.

I do believe in this quote by Samuel Adams

“It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.”

Nigeria will be saved not by the majority but the patriotic fearless tireless minorities who will do whatever it takes to stand against injustice and bad governance….
Well, that minority will need to be a significant fearless few to stand up to the majority who perpetuate the injustice and bad governance. And I strongly believe that day is nigh, though it may be after worse days than today and after many have died of the hunger and starvation that injustice and bad governance enables and promotes.

Bebigiby1:
Not sure who you are referring to but even if so many of “japa” there no way over 200 million people can run away from their country…. Majority of Nigerians have no choice than to fix their country…. These evil politicians occupying public offices oppressing Nigerians are not more than 1000 people….
Not every one of 200 million Nigerians want to fix their country. Many more would rather become these so called "evil politicians occupying public offices oppressing Nigerian". And to think they "are not more than 1000 people" just shows you don't understand the extent of our problem. After all, millions of us elected those 1000.

I'd say it is our 200 million Nigerians that need to be fixed for our country to be fixed. From the civil servant who collects a bribe to do their job, to the streetwalker who throws rubbish on the street, and the fool who ignorantly votes emilokan or tribe or religion instead of policies and credibility.

We create our unfixed Nigeria, and once we stop unfixing Nigeria, Nigeria will begin to be fixed. We must start by fixing the brain in our heads, and that, the search for a good education, is a reason to japa, in my opinion.

ENTDaily:
The Mercedes-AMG brought serious upgrades to their W15 car this season, focusing on aero and general performance.While both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell showed improvements, the former seems to have benefited more from such upgrades. Mercedes recently explained why that was the case.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsa81j96R62WW4zsHSVARLdMd_-TsTzeymq2gLkSYnQohY52y9JFWS41DN4QEheBQ8X7xSYXtIVnKM8bz8o6GqvCoZfCKFKqmRsyiaH-Lua_MIHCwIf2PqbHbMPOvhTTor6tu3275ZOdtpY2PkQ5sLpyzL8S_Uf6d203R4SYN6sTp4MYb_wHkwEEodpICf/s1920/Lewis_Hamilton_20240816_025858385.jpg
Upgrades on the W15 were tailored by the Brackley team to dovetail with Hamilton's ultra-smooth, preserve-the-tyres-at-all-costs style of driving. The tweaks are tailor-made for the way Hamilton drives and help him exploit the full potential of the car. On the other hand, Russell has a very aggressive driving style and is still getting used to this new setup.

https://www.autodailydiary.com/2024/08/mercedes-amg-f1-upgrade-benefits-on-hamilton.html
Last race George seemed to have not had a "very aggressive driving style", and adopted a "preserve-the-tyres-at-all-costs style of driving", which allowed him to finish ahead of.everyone else, so I guess its safe to say he's learned a lot from Hamilton to good effect.

What if all traders do the exact same thing as you said by taking their stuffs to where they will sell to the highest bidder, forget not that you’re also coming back to buy stuffs which would have been sold to the highest bidder like you did yours ‘cause you might not be able to afford it.

Then the masses die of hunger.
Sir, this is the danger of market controls. You can not force a seller to sell at a loss.

Come on, just think. What would you do if you go market to buy something to sell and someone tells you you must sell at a price that is less than what you paid for it or that is just not profitable enough for you? Is your business a charity, I would ask you.

Market sellers are not tied to anyone market, and will take their produce to sell in the market that profits them. It is not their concern if you starve. They are not your papa or mama!

I wish all south-west replicate this, then we would be saved.
I do know what association is causing. They are creating a monopoly in the market so only they can set prices, and in most countries that would be illegal.

If Kabiyesi were serious, he would perhaps include the transport association that set transport prices too, but he hasn't, and has set price for the sellers alone.

This is not a job for Kabiyesi, but a job for government. Thankfully, this very wise Kabiyesi has set the ball roiling so it has become a topic of discussion. In the end, some people will not be able to control a market that ought to be free. And that would hopefully include the market of wages too so workers get what they are worth.

You got it! I had the exact conversation with a friend few hours ago. Wages have to keep up with prices to stop all this drama we get when there are price changes.

The sad part of this is, every single person gets to a point where they can not afford what they could get easily in the past. That's the part of this shitshow economists don't tell you. You find out when it's too late.
I had over 20 mentions telling me off for not being pleased that Kabiyesi fixed my wages for growing my crops.

I would have told them all to go read the very wonderful Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead, but I don't want to introduce them to the obnoxious (my opinion) Ayn Rand. It might make them understand that Kabiyesi does not own all the markets I can take my crops to go sell.

I agree. Now, we just need to understand that there is or there should be a free market in wages too, and tell government to go suck their 70k minimum wage. Especially now they've increased the judiciary's by 300%.

One Kabiyesi fixed the price we must sell crops without first fixing the rain!

budaatum:
I'm going to limit my response to only you since you've expressed the predominant support for Kabiyesi's price fix.

You see, before Kabiyesi fixed the price of the crops I planted, Kabiyesi failed to fix the rain that I needed to grow the crops, and those crops, which I borrowed money that Kabiyesi failed to fix the interest of to plant, are now withering in the heat and are dying. And the little if any at all I can salvage from what I planted must now be sold to pay for the land and the labour and the loan plus the interest with some left over to feed me too.

Can you perhaps now see why Kabiyesi's market might not be the market for me?

Please see here that Kabiyesi did not first fix the rain.

Fact of the matter is that traders are increasing prices arbitrarily and causing relentless inflation due to ignorance. Yes transport and labor costs has increased but production and transportation is being done in bulk so economy of scale should kick in as the cost is spread over multiple units of the products.
People are just too greedy.
