They are looting the proceeds from the crude oil.

That's the reason why.

Most powerful cabal-Some loot directly from the oil wells.

Mid-level cabal-Loot from transactions on behalf of government.

Low-Level cabal-Loot the treasury after the crude has being sold and the government is allocating funds to states and projects for infrastructures.

These are the people ruining Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Tinubu Regime’s Blind Eye To Supply Chain Crisis: A Recipe For Economic Disaster by malali(op): 9:18am On Aug 07, 2024
sIfioksq:
Tinubu is focused on bigger plans. Supply chain issues are not new; they have been around long before him. Let's not act like this is solely his fault. Time to think critically and not just throw blame around.
Bigger utopian plans ?
First plan is food....try going for one day without food
Before Tinubu food was expensive but affordable
Hiking fuel prices by lifting subsidies has transferred all the burden on poor Nigerians
While the people that solely made this decision, are not feeling the pinch
Tinubu is ignoring the problem....If fuel prices are high, inflation will never come down

Economics 101.

Show me one country in the world where a full tank of petrol is equivalent to a months salary that has cheap food without inflation.
PoliticsTinubu Regime’s Blind Eye To Supply Chain Crisis: A Recipe For Economic Disaster by malali(op): 8:35am On Aug 07, 2024
In the midst of Nigeria’s economic turmoil, the Tinubu administration continues to make shortsighted fiscal policies, blatantly ignoring the catastrophic effects of escalating supply chain costs. This myopic approach is driving up the prices of essential commodities, from foodstuffs to livestock, placing an unbearable burden on the average Nigerian.

The government’s failure to recognize and address the soaring cost of fuel as a critical factor in the supply chain is nothing short of negligent. Fuel prices directly impact transportation costs, which in turn inflate the prices of goods from the farm to the market. When transportation costs surge, every link in the supply chain feels the pressure, leading to higher prices for food and livestock.

Consider the journey of a simple tomato: grown in the rural heartlands, transported to urban centers, and sold in markets. Each step—harvesting, packaging, and delivery—relies heavily on fuel. With fuel prices skyrocketing, the cost of this journey becomes exorbitant. Farmers, transporters, and vendors must pass these costs onto consumers, resulting in tomatoes (and countless other staples) becoming luxuries rather than necessities.

The Tinubu regime’s fiscal policies, purportedly aimed at reducing inflation, are doomed to fail if they do not address the root causes of rising costs. Without significant measures to reduce production and transportation expenses, any attempts to curb inflation are merely superficial. The government’s strategy overlooks the basic economic principle that higher supply chain costs negate the impact of fiscal interventions designed to lower prices.

To illustrate the gravity of the situation: if the cost of producing and transporting food remains high, fiscal policies like subsidies or price controls are futile. They cannot counterbalance the intrinsic costs embedded in the supply chain. Thus, unless drastic steps are taken to make food production and transportation significantly cheaper, Nigeria will continue to suffer from rampant inflation, no matter how well-intentioned the fiscal policies may be.

The Tinubu administration’s unwillingness to see the whole picture—focusing on surface-level fiscal maneuvers while ignoring the foundational issues of supply chain costs—is a gross misstep. It reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the economic realities facing Nigeria. This blind spot not only exacerbates the suffering of everyday Nigerians but also sets the stage for prolonged economic instability.

The government’s current trajectory is unsustainable. Until the Tinubu regime acknowledges and addresses the crippling supply chain costs, Nigeria’s economy will remain in peril. It is high time the administration wakes up to the real challenges and implements comprehensive strategies that address the entire economic ecosystem. Without such measures, their policies will continue to fail spectacularly, leaving Nigerians to bear the brunt of their incompetence.

Signed,
Malali
PoliticsRe: FG Unveils Comprehensive Strategy For Economic Growth, Citizens’ Welfare by malali: 8:23am On Aug 07, 2024
Policies that dont trickle down.

Policies that line the pocket of the rich.

Food can never be cheap with current petrol prices.

There is something called supply chain, which tinubu and the rest of his administration is refusing to acknowledge.

You cannot make the supply change expensive (with expensive fuel) and expect food to be cheap.

You are out of touch with implementation of your fiscal policies.

Foreign AffairsUSA FIGHTS MONOPOLY: Google Illegally Maintained Online Search Monopoly by malali(op): 11:28am On Aug 06, 2024
In a historic decision, Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Google illegally maintained a monopoly in online search. This landmark judgment marks a significant strike against Big Tech’s dominance in the internet era.

The ruling follows a years long case initiated by the Justice Department and various states, accusing Google of cementing its dominance by paying companies like Apple and Samsung billions annually to make Google the default search engine on their devices and browsers. Judge Mehta affirmed, “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly.”

This decision challenges the power of tech giants, potentially reshaping the industry. It’s expected to influence ongoing antitrust lawsuits against other tech behemoths like Apple, Amazon, and Meta. Rebecca Haw Allensworth, an antitrust law expert, calls it “the most important antitrust case of the century.”

Google, synonymous with online search, faces severe repercussions from this ruling, especially as it competes in the AI race. The company plans to appeal, arguing that it offers the best search engine, which users prefer. However, the court found that Google’s payments to be the default search engine stifled competition and inflated ad prices, reinforcing its monopoly.

This case is reminiscent of the antitrust suit against Microsoft two decades ago and sets a precedent for future actions against monopolistic practices in the tech industry. The Justice Department’s antitrust chief, Jonathan Kanter, hailed the decision as a path to innovation and information access for Americans.

As Google grapples with this setback, the ruling underscores the need for checks on Big Tech’s power, ensuring that no company can monopolize the digital marketplace to the detriment of consumers and competitors alike.
PoliticsTinubu Must Ensure True Democracy Reaches Every Northern Citizen. by malali(op): 11:10am On Aug 06, 2024
Nigeria’s democracy is at a critical juncture, and President Bola Tinubu faces a daunting task: supervising the state apparatus in most, if not all, northern states to ensure that the fruits of democracy reach the ordinary citizens. It is not enough to simply allocate federal funds to governors; these funds must trickle down to the people who need them the most.

Many governors in the northern states have developed a troubling pattern: when federal allocations arrive, they are often misappropriated or poorly managed, leaving the citizens to fend for themselves. When complaints arise, these governors offer temporary relief in the form of “palliatives” [/b]rather than establishing lasting structures that empower citizens for life. This short-term approach does little to address the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and underdevelopment.

President Tinubu must recognize that unless his administration actively solves these problems, the cycle will continue. [b]Citizens in these states are increasingly vocal about their plight, and in response, governors often shift the blame to the president, avoiding accountability for their own failures.
This blame game is detrimental to the democratic process and hinders true progress.

Every state, particularly those in the north, must understand that their governors are equally accountable for the welfare of their people. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo set a precedent by going after corrupt governors like Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Joshua Dariye, and Ayodele Fayose, demonstrating that checks and balances are essential for good governance. Tinubu must follow this example and hold northern governors to the same standard.

The reality is stark: many northern governors come to Abuja to wine and dine with President Tinubu, giving the impression of solidarity. However, this camaraderie does not translate into effective governance at the state level. Instead, many of these governors are more focused on lining their pockets than on conveying Tinubu’s message of development and democracy to their citizens.

President Tinubu must take a proactive stance. Supervision and oversight are crucial. The federal government must not only allocate funds but also ensure that these funds are used effectively. This could involve setting up monitoring committees, increasing transparency, and implementing stringent measures to prevent corruption. Additionally, there should be a push for sustainable development projects that empower citizens, such as improved education systems, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure projects that create jobs and stimulate local economies.

True democracy is not just about elections and federal allocations; it is about improving the lives of every Nigerian. President Tinubu has the opportunity to transform the northern states by ensuring that governors are held accountable and that the proceeds of democracy reach the grassroots. The people deserve more than palliatives; they deserve a government that works for them and with them to build a brighter future.

Tinubu’s legacy will be defined by his ability to enforce accountability and transparency at all levels of government. The northern states are crying out for leadership that genuinely cares for their welfare. It is time for President Tinubu to step up and ensure that the proceeds of democracy are not just allocated but are truly felt by every Nigerian, especially those in the north. The governors must know that their actions are under scrutiny and that they are accountable to both the president and their citizens. Only then can we achieve the Nigeria we all aspire to.

PoliticsRe: Remove Unconditional Immunity On Financial Missapropriation From Governors. by malali(op): 6:58am On Aug 06, 2024
Ministry of information should translate all the monies given to governors as federal allocation into the major Nigerian Languages.

Inform the public, how much money was given to their governors

Most times the governors are seen as benevolent, when they are actually sharing a fraction of intended state funds.

If you notice the protests were more in states, were the previous governors have been alleged to have looted funds.

The people are "coached" to see the president as the problem and never the state governors.
