BBC just shut up, we don’t need you to instigate anyone to violence.

Where are people actually going

The world is changing people don’t need to travel to make money. BBC should work with government to serve homes with broadband internet for free that’s what we need and not too many people running the street

Why should they give us free broadband internet?
The amont of yahoo-yahoo going on on the existing jaga-jaga internet, is it not directly harming them already?

I believe we have the right to decide what policy we should use as a country without BBC interference.

The subsidy removal must have wrecked British and America that they want to use their useless media platform to criticise the policy...

We called them during EndSars but they removed to interfere..... So why are they coming to take paracetamol on our head?

Hmm
Subsidy removal wrecked Britain and America
That's a new one

And They were saying it is good idea that is boosting the economy grin

Mehn the way their supporters reason ehn! angry

Now they say unemployment rate has crashed to 4.1%

When now in Nigeria you cannot just walk into an establishment to apply for jobs like teaching, secretary, admin, even cleaner you need to know a politician, be politician pikin or politician godson, produce a letter from a high ranking politicians.

It is very bad.

Can't BAT appeal to our colonial masters/oppressors/imperialists on our behalf?

This is a crime against humanity.

White people are more yahoo yahoo than us yet they get internet service cheaper. A lot of people can get creative with the availability of Internet than doing petty fraud.

The % of people using internet for fraud are too little to attract any negative attention if not for negative types like you.

Why don’t you focus on talking about people using the internet for good thing instead of those using it for bad thing.

Elon Musk is more yahoo than any yahoo boy that has ever been. Did you hear any white person call him fraud? you dumb ass. Always want to talk shit

We don’t need that much people on the street for the city to be successful.

If you can’t live in the city go back to the village. The city is not for everyone

LegallyBlunt:
This bustling city of an estimated 20 million people is quieter, but for once that is not a good thing.

I bolded the above for emphasis sake, that's because as a people, the polices of those in power always come lopsidedly against the common man. Who uses those buses and private cars to hustle? You and me!

Like the article stated, we all expected that the subsidy and economic changes would be done in phases. Sadly, Lagos epitomizes what the whole country is feeling at the moment.

People are basically trekking everywhere. The decision to even leave your house costs 1k alone. Which way for us?

IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF MANDATES ANYMORE.

WETIN YOU DEY CARRY THE MANDATE DO?

Before you quote me, please consider that I'm a Nigerian first before any party or political affiliation.

Removing it in phases won't work.

Even the subsidy isn't gone. With the Naira depreciation, some subsidy is back. That is the same outcome if you remove the subsidy in phases.

For the subsidy should really end, a deregulation of the price is what's needed. That means prices should be set by market forces and government no longer has a hand in setting the price of petrol.

What Lagos has gained in tranquillity it has lost economically since President Bola Tinubu abruptly ended the supply of cheap fuel in his first day in office at the end of May.[i][/i]

Quality of life in Nigeria keep going down the drain and people getting miserable everyday. Even some rich middle class are beating down their standards. Many families now ration food. Only God knows the number of pupils and students who will drop out or enroll in public school this September.

I even saw on Facebook a post where a corn seller sells half roasted corns so people can afford them. Wtf. Four years is a long ride ooo.
I read this morning a man died of starvation in kano. Lord which way

I know of so Many people have done so since they can no longer cope.

Recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that when compared to the second quarter of 2022, the contribution of road transport to the economy within the same period this year fell by around 47%.

As that data only captured one month since the policy changed, things could be even worse now.

NNPC is not telling it all with that 28% decrease.
