I repeat...

4 NOTHING!

We take some harsh economic decisions....(I am about to say things that Nigerians do not like)...and that means raising our income via

1.Raising our poor tax to gdp ratio...which means some sort of way has to be found to bring in the 70% of Nigerians who as at 2019 were not paying tax to federal and state coffers

2.Removing subsidies...so that the oil industry can find money for new refineries, new pipelines even things like new trucks and suchlike...which means that government saves money, and the stealing stops in the name of subsidy. The power sector too needs removed subsides.

3.We need to find a way to diversify our economy...that is where things like mechanized farming, and stronger mining regulaitons come in....

4.We have to stop oil theft.


It's my solution, and Lord knows it means hardship, but the alternative? At best we can produce 2 -3m barrels of crude a day, oil prices fluctuate badly, meaning that when they are too low, we have to take loans, and the oil money is not enough for 200 million people...so we have to take more loans. AAnd...we still suffer.

Bro, people are suffering hard time, businesses are collapsing because bad implementation of policy and you're still talking of gdp growth and diversifying. People needs to survive first and likely be in better health before those things you mentioned can work.
No hungry man who can't feed his family will decide to get himself a water bed to sleep on.

aariwa:
Riots are never planned. A little thing can trigger it like if the manipulate results like they did for tinubu again it will start from Lagos and spread down. I get fuel for house

Naxo!

dats why I have bn praying dat dis APC touts don't push Lagos into a deep pit with d tribal war they are instigating.

Lagosians shld be wise pls!

Tinubu & Sanwolu are not even Lagosians to start with.

So we keep taking loans...because that oil money, even without looting is not enough...and the suffering we have now continues.

The thing is, if we remove subsides, we guarantee job creation in the oil and power industries due to increased investments, for example. That reduces some suffering.

Also raised income in oil and power sector potentially means raised income for the government, which can be funneled into education subsides among other things.

chrisxxx:
Na Yorubas be the Champion of riots. The election rigged is 8n their favour so no need

We saw this coming and forewarned Nigerians, but they said it's to curb vote buying that we were just crying because it wouldn't favour Tinubu. So🤷🤷

funshint:
Where were you when people were protesting in SW? Didn't you people commend Buhari; saying that it'll curb vote-buying. Even your Obi too supported the idea. Abeg we no dey protest again; we go manage am like that till handing-over on May 29

You dey mind them?

Dem don forget

Nice response.

They said Tinubu was crying

Ishilove:
My mum said everyone is silent as if they used juju to make them docile. It is shocking.

This week has been really nasty. The bank portals seem to have convened a meeting and decided to misbehave more than usual this week. It now takes almost 24 hours for interbank transfers to reflect. Even their junior brothers Opay, Carbon and co have joined them.

I don't know what is happening in Nigeria.

I don't support violence. What we need to do is engage in civil disobedience. Block the roads, protest in front of the government houses, shut down intuitions etc. That is what serious people do, but alas, Nigerians are too divided to be serious about anything

Initially, I thought it was the shock of who won the Presidential elections. But by now the thing should have worn off. I expect people to demand that the government to get things back to normal again.

I don't even want to start with its effects on SME businesses in the country. Almost everyone now has an outstanding issue that takes them to the bank. The way everyone kept quiet, I initially thought everyone has found a way around the situation and I'm the only one behind. But then, I still see them come around to beg me for even as little as one #500 new note so that they can eat and feed their family. And of course they'd pay back through transfer. But as it stands now, the new notes seem to be more valuable than their equivalent in bank transfers. I now wonder why they don't employ the same energy to get this government to do the right thing.

Even in advanced countries, their currency notes are not these scarce to the populace. And the servers enabling bank/fiscal transactions are working optimally. Here, the servers have been overloaded beyond their capacity, and upgrade is not yet in sight. Yet this silly government deems it fit to cause untold hardship on its citizens. I don't even want to get started with the disregard of the Supreme Court ruling on the matter.

I don talk too much abeg. Let all responsible Nigerians rise up to the occasion and do the right thing. This government provides next to nothing for us. I don't see reasons why they would now act as obstacle to the little comfort and decency that we are trying to provide for ourselves without their help.

PatEinstEin:
Why is everything in Nigeria “business as usual”?

No cash. Bank transactions are failing. And we are just going about our usual activities?

People trekk for kilometers to and from work. People can't even eat.

Why does a small group of people have it as a duty to make more than 200 million people suffer?

Are we going to continue like this?

Protest, and they will shoot you into the great beyond.

You wonder why some call Nigeria a zoo?

Globad:
You dey mind them?

Dem don forget

Please, for God's sake, don't involve tribalism into this. I don't know if you're paid to cause confusion here, but please stop. The welfare of the common masses are at stake here. Let me tell you, even if God himself rules this country, if the lives of the masses are not positively affected by his reign, then his mandate is useless.

This policy is wrecking people by God's sake

How many can they shoot? How many? Is it not better to make your voice heard than to die in silence?

And what makes you think the same people will not still loot the proceeds from the subsidies removal...
The new Naira redesign cashless policy is creating more suffering, so the presidency just needs stop this politics game its playing and give the cbn governor the directive to end this suffering now.

Have you not heard the saying that "an oppressed people behave foolishly"

What I responded to had nothing to do with tribalism

Paid to do what?

Do you know how long I've been here?

So every opinion that doesn't agree with yours is bought? This country is something else

Come out for any riots and be shot on sight. We are enjoying the cashless policy. When the people of southwest dey protest wey una suppose join, una dey mock them abi una don forget. As far as am concerned na only Tinubu this thing dey affect na now I believe igbos. We are enjoying it

Please let everyone face front. The masses politicised it before the Presidential election. So there can't be agreement to it for now.
Though very unfortunate but that is position we found ourselves.

May 29, 2023 is just few months.

Patrickker:
Me asking the same question. We need to rise up in protest.

you're speaking about protest. If and when they even call for protest, will you attend.

Kobonaire4:
Many of you calling for riot don't know how it is to lose a loved one, or to have to take care of a loved one with bad injuries that cannot work or live well, and with no compensation coming in for that.

Also, losing an election is not a means to call for crisis. The same thing you are saying is the same thing that was said under GEJ, Obasanjo and a host of other leaders.

Again, if there is a riot and the breadwinner of a family dies, will you take care of his or her family.

Finally, assuming Obi won, someone from the Tinubu side is going to say the same thing.

And most online transactions work too.

At the end of the day, if you want change, better start preparing for 2027. We have to get rid of APC, and crying all day long does not get us there. Careful prepping over time does.

Learn to read and comprehend. He never mentioned Obi or elections. He emphasized on suffering and hardship.

By the way, I am not suffering because I have a lot of cash from daily sales from my company (distribution, wholesale and retail) but I feel the pain when people buy cash naira with digital naira.

2elliot:
It is world wide. The birth pangs of Bible's Revelation has begun. We are almost at the Tribulation. Just one major event will bring about the collapse of all human activities. Govts are purposely sabotaging their country's economies, playing the globalist's WEF playbook. The WHO's treaty has been signed which has given power and control. Meaning, the new world's one government is almost set.

but your peter obi is still supporting the policy

Are you sure that they will not use him too?

After all he supported covid19 lockdown and he also supported the closing down of the churches during the lockdown

As a believer your hope should be on Lord Jesus and not on a man. It's a big shame if as a Christian you still believe that God can not bless you abundantly even in hard times.

to raise tax margins off suffering Nigerians just to be looted by those at top

The taxes that they have been collecting do they have better story of how they are making best use of it if not telling us of how snake and monkey stole it.

Why are you complaining when your Peter Obi is still supporting the policy ?

I have alternative, I can always buy cash.

I can't protest and risk dying for Nigerians who Tribalism has eating up all their brain cells.

I don't blame the average Nigerians... Our Politicians are somehow above the law... and its pretty hard to fight someone who law cannot hold accountable
....

With that... the Government has introduced Neuroplasticity into the common nigerians which is also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned.

Right now... as a Nigerians you believe its normal to suffer and not do anything... that's why people use this word "japa" which means ESCAPE...

YOU CAN ONLY escape this brainwashed if you manage to relocate out of the country

The idea is to make you suffer and beg for the money you worked for, so that when Tinubu is sworn in (in their imagination), he will release your money and his supporters will claim that he is best president in the Universe.

The idea is simple: steal 100 trillion from the masses. Release 1 million to them. And they will sing your praises to high heaven.

Nigerians are cursed, especially APC supporters.

udede:
Op.
There is no riot because there is hope. Wait, and see, if the court dashes the last hope of Nigerians, i swear, this country will go up in flames (God forbid)

Yes na court results all man dey wait for like this. Once the court results no favour the masses...area go scatter

ALL THE LABOUR UNIONISTS ARE COLLUDING.

ipob member, misguided youth. Refrain from violence, it will only put your family in pain and take you on a highway to hell fire.

I told people before the concluded election that there's nothing like Nigeria youths,it all about Ipob strategy and foolish people fall for it
