Roger3D: Peter Obi would have done even worse. He too subscribes to the neo liberal agenda of the Bretton Woods institutions to take down every succor for the poor. He's equally as useless as Tinubu Obi would never ever remove subsidy on the day of his inauguration. And even before he does that, necessary palliatives must have been put in place first to cushion the effect. |

Any period of extreme economic hardship is likely to rebound with criminal consequences.
It's a simple economic principle. When it's too difficult for people to survive, taking up any of the aforementioned is inevitable.
Dears, except you are not living in the country or you live above the average in terms of earnings, you would understand that this period is a very tough one for Nigerians. You see people complaining bitterly. In the school environment, the staff, the students, the business people everybody complaining bitterly. When you enter the street, you see the worse. Hawkers, market men and women, taxi drivers and all complaining and murmuring bitterly.
In my neighbourhood, 3 car batteries have been stolen from people who parked their car outside the last one week. A week before last, a man parked his Lexus to see someone and before he returned in less than 20 minutes, the battery had gone. He shouted and ran around to no avail. It was even in broad daylight.
Yesterday, another man parked his car and entered a compound to see someone. Low and behold, before he came out, the car magically developed wings and flew away. It was like a movie scene but in reality. Till now, I dont know if the car has been recovered. The man almost went mad because of his Toyota Corolla.
This is to state that the decision of government has direct impact on the people. Therefore, don't rule like you are ruling trees in the forest whereby your decision has little or no effect on them. Whatever is the intention for removing subsidy, such decision is not something you take so carelessly. No palliatives and nothong to cushion the effects.
At least, if goverment had bought buses to states across the country to carry people at a reduced cost this period, that to some extent would have reduced the transportation effect but nothing of such. I may be wrong though, so please do you have any of such in your state/city?
Monetary gift. We learnt the governmemt was planning to give poor Nigerians certain amount of money to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal. Who has received here or knows someone who received? To the best of my knowledge, nothing of such. You just used your inaugural speech to declare "subsidy is gone" without assessing the impact of that declaration on the people.
This harsh economic situation would certainly increase crime. We had thought after all we went through under Buhari, a new goverment would give us some reliefs but here we are into more trouble.
Whoever is close to those in power should inform them that Nigerians are really suffering and the hardship will push them into crime including revolting.
To end it, I would say, help someone anytime you can. People really need any help they can get this period. The consequences on fuel increment from N189 to N550 is heavy on Nigerians, especially struggling Nigerians which incidentally I am one of them. God knows i really need help.

Yesterday, I think I almost boarded a "one-chance" bus (korope) at Ajah. The bus (korope) was parked beside the road away from the mini park under the bridge. When I wanted to enter the bus, a man sitting on the first row asked me to sit beside the windscreen (the windscreen was covered with nylon so it's very difficult to see outside) because he's going to drop at Abraham Adesanya so he need to sit beside the door. Funnily enough when someone else that's allegedly going to Lakowe (farther away from my destination) he didn't say anything.
What made me suspicious was the way they interacted when the "agbero" that "helped" them call passengers disagreed on the amount he was given. I already had a bad feeling about something not right about the bus. The thing is, when passengers come and mentioned ridiculous amount he do not hesitate to agree. This is even as he was going to settle agberos.
What further confirmed my fear was the way they were (the driver and the supposed passengers) angry at the agbero when I alight from the bus before it moved (because for his refusal to accept what they offered, they would have moved).
When I trekked a bit further, I joined a bus going my way.
I may be wrong. But I've never had this feeling that something was wrong in a very long time. 1 Like 1 Share |
