The Way Nigeria Politics And Economy Is Going. Do You Still Have Any Hope? by Excellentmindz(op): 3:51am On Aug 03, 2023
IS Nigeria gaining ground? Is there any motivation to be hopeful about what's in store? These are the issues that keep on concentrating my brain as the nation and its administration keep on bumbling. Normally, I'm an extremely hopeful individual with an uplifting perspective on life. I'd rather see a half-full glass of water than an empty one when I look at it. However, wishing Nigeria well or believing that things will improve does not always translate into reality. Positive action is the vehicle that carries hope to the realm of reality.

Esther Boyd, the Publication Chief for Province of Development, a branch-off of the Diary of Interreligious Studies, JIRS, in a 2016 article, "Trust is an Activity," composed: " As an action, hope entails pushing boundaries, removing obstacles, and incrementally moving toward the positive outcomes we hope for, no matter how insignificant they may be. To hope for something is to work toward it, create it if necessary, and keep moving forward. Yet, trust, as Friedrich Nietzsche, the German savant and social pundit, once noted could be "the most obviously terrible of all wrongs, for it delays the tortures of man".

There is no reason to be hopeful in Nigeria today because the American writer and humorist Kurt Vonnegut may have had the country in mind when he wrote: They gave Pandora a case. Prometheus implored her not to open it. She opened it. Each malevolent to which human tissue is main beneficiary emerged from it. The last thing to emerge from the crate was trust. It dispersed. Through the leadership's seemingly limitless capacity for evil, we have opened the Pandora's Box, and hope has vanished. The limit of our chiefs for evil is amazing. Their arrogance is mind-boggling, and their total lack of concern for the well-being of the community is the reason why the nation continues to plunge into ignominy.

When I listened to President Bola Tinubu's speech on Monday, the thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that the more our leaders claim that things are improving, the more they stay the same or even worsen. President Tinubu stated, "In an effort to assuage the anxiety of Nigerians thrown into hunger by ill-timed policies of his administration:" For quite a long time, I have reliably kept up with the place that the fuel sponsorship needed to go."

That obviously is not the case. In 2012, he revitalized Nigerians against the Goodluck Jonathan organization's journey to eliminate sponsorship. The president asserted that by eliminating the subsidy, his administration had saved a significant amount of money, which, according to him, would now be used more directly and to the benefit of Nigerian families. In barely two months, we have saved more than a trillion Naira that would have been wasted on the useless fuel sponsorship which just helped runners and fraudsters," he crowed.

In any case, doesn't excessively sound natural? It absolutely does. At some point in August 2016, in Kano, then VP, Yemi Osinbajo, encouraged Nigerians not to lose confidence in Buhari's organization. " Osinbajo stated, "There has been a significant increase in the availability of petrol throughout the country with savings of N1.4 trillion on subsidy payments alone" as a result of the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector. However, what happened from that point? As at the time the organization left office on May 29, 2023, Nigeria had acquired trillions of Naira to pay for the very sponsorship that had been eliminated.

Anybody guaranteeing that anything occurred under Buhari's supervision ought to be cleared into the dustbin of history as certain individuals are doing today is being uncalled for to Nigerians. In all honesty, the Tinubu organization is a branch-off of the Buhari organization. They are different sides of a similar APC coin. This week, the Public safety Counsel, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, conceded the self-evident - Nigeria is not doing so well however he attempted, but ineffectively to remove Tinubu from the wreck APC made.

"We acquired an exceptionally terrible circumstance. The majority of the issues discussed are not the result of this government, he stated. In all actuality Tinubu has made his own concerns over the most recent two months, and no one is saying he made every one of the issues yet reality which Ribadu and his kind are avoiding is that a large portion of the issues looking straight at the Tinubu organization were made by the APC-drove legislature of Buhari.

That was the point the Catholic Cleric of the Sokoto See, Matthew Hassan Kukah, made smoothly on July 10, when he declared, without evasion, in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, during a talk at the festival of the 60th commemoration of the call to bar of the organizer behind Afe Babalola College, Aare Afe Babalola, that Nigeria saw the ugliest period of debasement under Buhari. Buhari managed over what is apparently the most obviously awful plundering of the Nigerian depository. Under his direction, a murky conditional cash transfer scheme resulted in the waste of trillions of Naira, the majority of which were borrowed funds. The objective, we were told, was to give designated cash moves to the most weak families with the drawn out objective of lifting millions out of destitution.

Unfortunately, it is rare any Nigerian who has a thought of any recipient. What's more, that isn't shocking in light of the fact that to effectively execute such a program, there should be a credible register of the eventual recipients. Those who had lost their voices have suddenly found them now that Buhari is no longer in office. As of late, the Public Monetary Committee, NEC, set out to get rid of the public social register utilized by Buhari's organization to carry out the contingent money move. The register lacked integrity, according to the NEC meeting, which was presided over by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Following the NEC meeting, Governor Chukwuma Soludo stated that it was not possible to digitally transfer money to the hoi-polloi, the majority of whom do not have bank accounts. We must acknowledge that we lack a reliable register. He stated, "The so-called National Social Register's integrity is seriously in doubt." Yet, Soludo was even magnanimous. Kaduna State lead representative, Uba Sani, went all in when he returned to the issue a couple of days after the fact, multiplying down on the case he and his partners made at the NEC meeting.

Talking during a live meeting on TV, Lead representative Sani said: " My position has forever been that, at this crucial time, cash move isn't something that we ought to raise. I believe that transferring cash is a scam. Totally a trick. I'm extremely sure about that. Who do you intend to send the money to? Allow me to give a model. I misjudged the Central Bank and the entire commercial sector of our economy during my four years as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking. Since approximately 75% to 75% of the rural population in the North-West is completely financially excluded, to whom are you transferring the funds?

Sycophants, on the other hand, hailed that plan as the Buhari administration's flagship. The people who are cackling today lost their voices when Buhari was the ruler of the estate. Yet again they are similar individuals who are yelling themselves rough that Tinubu is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria in any event, when he has prevailed with regards to putting some unacceptable foot forward practically on each issue. Given the calibre of individuals Tinubu has selected to serve as his ministers, how optimistic can or ought to any Nigerian be about the country's future under his leadership? Some of them are. Perhaps they are seeing something that many of us are not. However, I'm not on the grounds that nothing has changed. The old request actually rules.

There is no hope for now, Nigeria still imports fuels and needs forex to import fuel. A dollar is 870 so the cost of fuel would still be high untill the refineries are fixed.
He can give lincense to individuals to build modular refineries so we can refinery locally and won't be needing forex to buy fuel.
We are in a long thing, inflation would keep skyrocketing.

But that's how politics is played all over the world now....forget the competence yarn....its people who have lost out of power that mouths that.....every tribe has competent people....competence can be found anywhere.

We are on the right track if the poor does not drag us back again.Nigeria could have been like USA but sadly we keep pampering the poor,borrow to satisfy them there by destroying ourselves from within.
Hand Nigeria over to the capitalist and see Nigeria flourish within 4 years
This will reduce unemployment to less than 5% and the same poor dragging us back will start catching up with the rich.

Average Nigerians only take mobile phone low battery seriously, the current situation happening in Nigeria was analyzed early and Nigerians were warned, but they won't listen.

Important issues are no longer interested apart from petty discussions.

All over your country abi. That's why I said there is no hope na. Why do you have a problem with that?

As for "all over the world" I won't argue with someone who hasn't left the shores of this country

As for tribalism, I don't play that stupid bigotic games you people do here. It's very stupid to streamline every discussion towards a tribalisic perspective

More Northerners voted for President Tinubu than Yoruba people.

Contrast this with how Peter Obi cleared the South Eastern States with over 90% majority. And then include his Yes Daddy phone call which we are yet to see him in court to dispute.

Your allegations would have wholly been true of Peter Obi had won, thankfully his Obidients bullying behaviour turned the rest of the country away from him.
