Oasis, is it true that El Rufai made that provocative statement about the reason behind Muslim-Muslim ticket? Learnt he was saying they did it because of enforcing Muslims dominance at Federal level, just like what happened in Kaduna.

Then he would definitely have been termed wicked n heartless for causing more pains........


Cos in all honesty,it is unrealistic for a 30k salaried man to survive

Segedinho:
I will have to watch it tomorrow...
If he didn't say he had a concrete plan to alleviate or diminishes d effect of abrupt removal then he would have definitely receives same criticism.


It is beyond politics..it is all about humanity and a sense of understanding the effect of insensitivity of some policy especially when done at a very wrong time

Segedinho:
Can't watch any video now...is there any difference bw d video and what rooftops wrote...


NB:I would've called him out exactly how I am doing if he had taken same route as BAT'S.


Like I usually say,I don't have time to trust any politician's manifesto ...I criticised and eulogies what I see n witness

Segedinho:

Cos I am aware of this

I think your sense of reasoning about the cash crunch is being clouded by hindsight cuz at the time all these talks of cash swap happening because of election is purely speculative. official reason for the swap was that there's too much unaccounted for cash in the system and the swap would either make the owners bring the cash back into the system OR have their monies stop being a legal tender. Truth is we and the government at the time were very confused and don't know when the end in sight would come at the time, recall that the government made it clear that they intend to promote cashless economy and mop up excess liquidity. Now that you've seen the end you're now concluding like you knew the whole time how it was gonna end. did you at any point predict the old notes would later join the new in becoming legal tender? hindsight is such an amazingly beautiful thing, isn't it?


I also do find it unconscionable and disturbing how you rationalised deaths of people, destruction of properties, grounding of businesses just because you assumed these effects would've helped your Obi become president who will then turn this country into Dubai. This is a good sign you and your close family were immune from the effects and if it doesn't affect you then everyone else be damned and those damned People are sacrifices you're willing to make.

This is not to say I'm in support of Tinubu's actions however even Obi that you support made it clear that he would've immediately removed subsidy when he becomes president so there's no reason to believe he wouldn't have done exactly what Tinubu just did. of course, you can debate what he means by "immediately" all day. be my guest

Of course the native herbalist fails not to disappoint as usual. Comparing oranges and apples. Permanent fuel subsidy removal is different from TEMPORAL cash scarcity.

Obidients and nigerians at large understood and endured willingly, the pain of naira scarcity because we all could see the end of the tunnel.

We all knew and believed that cash crunch on election day could be a good thing in a country where people were ready to sell their votes for urgent 2k and corrupt wicked politicians with 2 bullion vans in their homes could do and undo, so we swallowed the pain of the cash crunch knowing that on or after election day, that problem will be over and hindsight has proven us correct.
In as much as the election results were rigged and voter intimidation rampant, vote buying was severely curtailed in the last elections. We barely saw any video of people sharing cash on election day unlike previous elections.

Comparing that with this subsidy issue where even the government is confused on what to do next not to talk of ordinary nigerians not knowing what to do next or what is in store in the future exhibits your terrible partisanship which has beclouded your judgement. Do better, native abortion doctor.

Ibime:
E no matter sef. No be everything you go put for social media. E be like the Hilda no too dey exposed

Imagine being in the marketing division of a multinational company. You will be thinking about damage to the company reputation if your people back home find out you have endorsement deal with a dog eater in Nigeria. It might close some opportunities

Anyway, Chinko companies go sponsor am since dem no get problem with dog meat

Ibime:
E be like too many brain cells no dey Hilda Baci head

You seek validation and sponsorships from multinational companies, then go to commit an act that is taboo in their home countries

Na now you know say na nonsense Oasis dey mostly post here 😁, it is only when monikers like yours or afro.doc2 call him out to the rubbish that you see him apologising. But if prosper or other Obidients call him out on same rubbish earlier, he would reply with insult. He thinks it's all about winning argument and cruise....

afrodoc2:
Have you forgotten? Maybe because you are living in the abroad, so you don't remember. It happened not long ago.

That time that the little money that people had was locked away in banks and there was no money to buy food or medications. The time when people were scaling front fence to enter bank to beg for their own money while bank workers were scaling back fence to escape. The time that because people could not withdraw money from the bank they died before getting proper medical attention or were starving at home.

During that time this place was full of emojis, memes, gifs ati bee bee lo. I wonder what changed that struck such a chord in people's hearts that they are now so empathetic.

I wonder. I just wonder.

Segedinho:
You said something about smugglers...who is to blame for porous border?People are being paid to prevent illegal smuggling

If Nigeria is too complex to handle...who should resolve it the best he can...


When I say fuel diversion .I am not talking militancy bro but the corruption at its peak .....ships still come in for the purpose of moving crude that would definitely be unaccounted for....so who is to blame

Back to base...subsidy is the only thing the poor despite the corruption playing around in wch can be nipped by a determined FG.....

If you cannot put things in place to some extent... You have no business removing it even in d midst of distrust in the heart of the masses u are presiding over...

After President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR rolls out his economic and Infrastructural plans for Nigeria....
Most OBIdients are seeing the light and confessing ...
Even Peter Obi will sing his praise..
80% of supporters of Atiku and Obi will beg President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR to run… pic.twitter.com/J05kz9nPi2

afrodoc2:
All these born-again humanists sha. The ones that were hailing Naira scarcity and sharing emojis here when people were dying of hunger and minor illnesses were killing Nigerians have suddenly found religion and are now critical of subsidy removal.

afrodoc2:


That your palliative statement was wrong sha. There are temporary measures the government can institute to soften the blow on the masses.

I was in support of subsidy removal in principle but i wanted it to be a step taken by Tinubu after a year in office by which time he would have put in place measures to minimise the suffering, rather than this fait accompli he inherited from Buhari.

Also, there is this belief that Nigerians can tolerate anything, but the truth is all human beings have an elastic limit. If the government does not carry the people along chaos and anarchy might ensue.

Segedinho:
Like I said b4....smuggling is a crime that reflects the corruption we all are against....

It is the duty of the FG to capture the true amount we are supposed to consume then judtapose it with our expenditures to know if it is worth it or not.

Crude diversion/stolen is worse than subsidy....this must be treated b4 thinking of prosperity..

Diesel and kerosene ain't subsidised anymore buy the outcome of it isnt felt cos the FG didn't face he real problem wch is Crude dieversion......



In summary, Subsidy is among the least things to worry about if we really want to progress..

The guy wan mess. Pressure ti poju!

Segedinho:
Expenditure as high as that isn't feasible only when things are working.

What does an average Nigerian paying tax enjoys...

Be truthful bro,do you think d subsidy funds really reflects the amount of fuel we are consuming?
