I really don't know about Basketball, but do we scout for foreign groomed players for our team?

With the way Nigerians full America, we should be hunting for all these fresh babes to play for us?

At least we can go from 46 points to 52 points next time

It is quite unfortunate that President Tinubu is defining an era of hardship just like Buhari before him

During PMB' era time I dey hear things like "for this Buhari economy" now Tinubu don get him own"economy" and it's significantly worse in almost all ramifications.

Quite unfortunate really.

He featured Olamide for his zazu single. Nonetheless he's one really lucky chap. The fact that he's rough outward look did not even deter someone like skepta from giving him gigs.

Na within 8 months Tinubu get him own economy. Even his supporters both in the west and north are turning their back on him

Benefits of French CFA while Nigeria battles inflation back to back.

Even Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are protected by French CFA

Who can articulate the event that caused inflation spike in Francophone countries in 1994?

Abrupt subsidy removal was a policy strategy of all 3 candidates regardless of lamba they spin now

LordAdam16:


Neither Atiku nor Obi would have removed subsidy on Day 1.
Heck, the refineries that Atiku had zeroed in to offload would not have been sold on Day 1.

How can you remove subsidy before appointing a substantive Minister of Petroleum?
Float the naira without a CBN governor?

The entire "what would X have done differently" does not hold water because how the other candidates would have implemented the policy is a complete hypothetical.
The Mr complained about Buhari and Emefiele's abrupt currency change policy.
Then did the exact same thing TWICE.

Why didn't you stake bro

You would have been at least a 100k richer

DissTroy:


Because my support for Obi was never a game. It was about the best candidate on the ballot managing Nigeria's affairs in these critical times.

In retrospect, we have come to realize all the "Obi would come a distant third" and "O lule" quips never mattered - we are all facing the consequences of people who thought and still think Nigeria's issues are nothing more than football cup games.

Fuel was #180 when he bragged in the post I quoted. It's #680 today. 378% increase. All for what?

TrebleChamp:
Neither Obi nor Atiku would have removed subsidy on their first day in Office, they would have studied the situation and put proper measures in place before the removal. Tinubu guffed by announcing the removal of subsidy on his inauguration and the effect is now telling.

Ibime:


Fuel subsidy is the only Govt support Nigerians receive. People will die if they remove it. Fundamentally, fuel subsidy is inefficient, but in Nigeria's case, removal of subsidy will drag people from poverty to death.

Peter Obi is for subsidy removal by the way. Some niggas go cry if they have to pay N500 per litre. N400 is the current landing cost, add jara for profit

Ibime:


The crux of the matter. Fuel subsidy is the only social support Nigeria gives to its citizens.

Also the cost of transportation can make up to 50 to 80% of the cost of basic agricultural foods that poor Nigerians eat, reason why you can buy items in the North and Middle Belt for 1/3rd to 1/2 the price in the South. Whereas cost of transportation will be like 5% of the input cost in the Western world where cost of labour is the big input cost. So the inflationary effect on Nigerians will be dire, hence economic models that say subsidies are inefficient are applicable to the Western world but as far as Nigeria, it will lead to unimaginable suffering and social turmoil if subsidy is lifted.

Ibime:


'I can assure you it will go immediately, I will not allow it to stay a day longer"

Do we need dictionary to interpret that statement?

I don't think anyone will want to remove subsidy. It's not a binary decision. Any commitment to keep subsidy comes with a silent "if we can afford it". You can't eat your cake and have it.

With a backlog of unsettled $7bln FX transactions to local lenders and God knows how many billions to foreign companies such as aviation companies which haven't been settled for 2 years, all candidates could guess what was affordable and what was not and made their policies. Selling refineries which are moribund and will be for a while have no correlation to subsidy. Nigerian refineries (certainly PH) were working when Abacha started subsidy.

LordAdam16:


I'm not talking about keeping subsidy, I'm talking about how it was removed.
We could have afforded a six months extension until he had worked out modalities to ease the deleterious effect of the policy.
From an operational standpoint, it was a boneheaded move. And if Obi had done the same thing, he would have caught flak from me.

Ibime:


Will not stay "a day longer" is pretty clear.

There is no method of amelioration to removing subsidy. What will they do? Share rice as palliatives?

If you want to take hard decisions, you do so on your first day in office and give the citizens 4 years to adjust to the new reality before the next election.

So you're saying it's not necessary to analyze the situation before taking the hard decision.

There is nothing to analyse. Even Nairalanders could tell them the effect of what they promised two years ago. They knew the effect on common man before they promised it. It's like amputating a rotten limb, nothing go sweet inside
