Hunger Protests: Why Tinubu Can’t Govern Like Buhari By Farooq A. Kperogi by Racoon(m): 11:34am On Feb 10 |
In today's Saturday Tribune, I warn Tinubu that he risks a mass rebellion because of his unfeeling economic policies and won't be as lucky as Buhari whose cult saved him from the consequence of his misgovernance. Plus, why is CBN Gov. Cardoso such an airhead who is out of his depth, who reads from a script to answer simple questions?https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2024/02/hunger-protests-why-tinubu-cant-govern.html 72 Likes 14 Shares

The north are hypocrites. And that is why Nigeria is not a country. To claim Buhari got away with murder because of cult followership is to deodorise the pungent tribal and religious fundamentalism that's at the base of his followership. Most of Buhari's followers in the CPC they formed are clueless, dumb and sectional. Just check out their performance as ministers and heads of agencies. The only appeal they had in the north was based on tribal and religious ideology and not any superior group interest. It is also disheartening that after the maladministration CBN went through under Buhari and Emefiele is lackey, Tinubu couldn't get a better fit for the job of repositioning such a critical institution. What's worse is his elevation of CBN above NNPCL which has fared better previously in terms of audit and compliance. However, it is obvious Cardoso is not running a one man show. He's under the tutelage of Edun. So it's more like the voice of Cardoso but the hands of Edun. And this is not to say I agree with Kperoogi's assessment of him 78 Likes 12 Shares |

Same Tinubu that proudly made Buhari president? What does a country expects from someone who simply bulldozed his way to government on the basis of emilokan and using his turn to take care of his failing health? Like Buhari, Tinubu is unprepared for governance despite all the relentless noise the two leaders had made castigating their predecessor, Jonathan who had done far better in addressing the county's problems. Just as Buhari used the Presidency to take care of his health, Tinubu is doing same. So no matter the suffering today in Nigeria it is not his business. Guess Tinubu's zombies said he was the alpha and omega of how Lagos was built. He would build Nigeria. Yeyeyen! Today fowl yansh have been blown open and his cluelessness is more legendary than the Buhari he said he made president. 104 Likes 7 Shares |

Buhari is lucky to benefit from abdication syndrome in Muslim northern Nigeria. When he increased petrol prices by a steep margin in 2016, for instance, there were protests in Kano, Bauchi, and other places in SUPPORT of the increase and AGAINST people who planned to protest the increase. Nigeria had never seen anything like that before. Buhari is a political cult leader with a firm grip on his followers who worship him and surrender responsibility for their lives over to him. Tinubu has no such appeal. Tinubu not only does not have the benefit of abdication syndrome anywhere in Nigeria. He has the misfortune of having to contend with a peculiar character of Muslim northern Nigeria: we feel the pain of, and react violently to, bad policies only when the policies are hatched and executed by people who have no filiation with our natal region.It’s no surprise that the hunger protests against the Tinubu administration started from and spread in the North. Tribalism(ethnic, region, religion) kills, incapacitates and destroys a nation. 55 Likes 5 Shares |

Thanks very much Oga kperogi for the wonderful suggestions in this article. I appreciate Oga kperogi for not going back to the need to reintroduce Petrol Subsidy,most of his articles used to always criticize the removal of Fuel subsidy,but I appreciate him for going past that suggestion,and instead proffering solutions to the hardship in Nigeria. I have always said Nairaland should be the bastion of intellectual discourse online in Nigeria. Nairaland should be a forum where Government officials resort to when they are trying to assess the mood and tension on what's going on all over the country. Back to the topic,Oga kperogi has chipped in his own opinion,which is affordable and subsided Transportation in these hard times and I really believe Government should look at his suggestions. I want to call on The Government of Lagos state to please go to subsiding The BRT buses all over the state,I know they tried a lot last year especially during the campaigns but I believe this is the best time to reintroduce the subsidy,that will really help the citizens in this crushing times. I end by saying this,last week I read an article about the free fall of the Naira on Nairaland,and I was amazed at the wonderful suggestions made by some patriotic Nigerians. I was suprised there are still very very intelligent people on this platform,God bless you,I really hope we keep proffering Solutions to the Problem of Nigeria instead of this unending complains,I know there's hardship but Now is the time to offer solutions and not join the bandwagon. Nigeria must be great again, Asiwaju will be there for the next 3 years, we owe it to Nigeria to make sure it comes out better not worse under him. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

"I know of no CBN governor in my lifetime (until Cardoso) who couldn’t articulate economic policies effortlessly. Even Godwin Emefiele had no difficulty defending his policies. You may question his competence or disagree with his policies, but he could at least clearly formulate thoughts about what he was doing. Cardoso gives me the jitters. Nigeria is in way worse trouble than it realizes with an airhead like that as CBN governor." This part off me... Anyway Tinubu also has a cult like following. But not as loyal as Buhari's. Many are beginning to shift loyalty! 60 Likes 5 Shares |

Buhari is lucky to benefit from abdication syndrome in Muslim northern Nigeria, broadly conceived, which explains why he got away with murder for eight years. When he increased petrol prices by a steep margin in 2016, for instance, there were protests in Kano, Bauchi, and other places in SUPPORT of the increase and AGAINST people who planned to protest the increase. Nigeria had never seen anything like that before. Whereas in 2012, when GEJ did same, there were protests against the same increase in the North. It's the way the game is played. Nigerians don't want change, they want their side to win, meaning some 'benefit' would come. (Same attitude exists in other parts of Africa...when Obama became president of the USA..someone in his home village in Kenya was thankful because that means new road would come. QUestion is, what were all the previous governments of kenya doing?) Running a resource dependent economy , like NIgeria, fosters the attitude of 'when my son is in charge of the sharing of money, I will get some of the cake easier... The sooner Nigeria becomes a nation where taxes are the main source of income, not oil, the better. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

Well, Tinubu is really trying in the Aso Rock. His Confidence to remove oil subsidy will forever melt the heart of reasonable Nigerians forever. Now, He has increased the State allocations by 41percentage and that would surely lead to building of more infrastructure in the country. We are already seeing the good result of this because there are many federal road and state road under construction. If not the governors that have wounded local govt chairman. The infrastructure would have been taken to the lowest part. I'm very sure that before March, another Minimum wage would have been implemented, the negotiation is already going on. If Only Tinubu can now focus on the security and lower it to the minimum, then he will be the best president forever. Talking about Electricity, Light will be good when Nigerians are ready for it. Vast majority of them don't pay nepa bill. If they start paying, the Private company that's holding power will invest more and it and make electricity be 24/7. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

When the 102,000metric tons of grains finishes, what next? Is that sustainable? For how long? Abrupt subsidy removal on petrol is too harsh because the government is simply I'll prepared for it. The easiest way out now is to go the way of Kazakhstan, Ecuador, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Brazil by backtracking and re-instituting subsidy, then gradually working towards a better transportation system which will subsequently prepare the people. Also, improvement should be made on light because the constant dependence on generator also causes price hike! 16 Likes |

The Nigerian Economy is in a serious quagmire,I want to sincerely look through what prof kperogi wrote and try to dissect the problems and offer my humble suggestions 1) Increase in food stuff prices It seems this Government is struggling to really understand why food prices are increasing on a daily basis.Even food stuff produced in Nigeria is becoming unaffordable Solution: Government must intervene by creating a short term measure to evacuate food from the hinterlands to the city This will involve working with food logistics operators, subsidizing their operations where necessary Also,state and local governments must remove all levies and taxes paid on food for now 2) Open Borders This government must take a very bold move and open our borders,let people find food to eat Even if it means subsidizing this food,then you should do it. Government needs to know that there is a cabal in the food industry who buy and hoard food just like people hoard the dollars Once an announcement is made of opening borders,it will restrain this group from further inflicting harm 3) Continue the Emefiele policy of money change This government must give a specific timeline to change all the old currency There is simply a lot of liquidity in the Nigerian Economy and we must begin to mop it up Government should start by encouraging digital transactions,it should be gradual but with timelines The low hanging fruits like petrol stations, supermarkets and even educational institutions should be encouraged to start migrating to digital transactions There should be a reward system for organisations to embrace this process, Nigerians did transactions worth 600 trillion naira digitally in 2023 so the infrastructure is already there 9 Likes 1 Share |

A prodigal son who is unwilling to accept the consequences of her actions. The policy is working as it is supposed to . People are learning the harsh truth. The party is over. Get up and be productive or waste away trying to benefit from what you didn’t produce . The same policies are being applied globally but why is Nigeria’s case different? As someone who left Nigeria for 10 years and came back.The greatest shock was the newly acquired taste in the period I was away.The lacasera ,Omo detergent ,Bourvita ,Gulder , had been replaced by more fashionable imported brands. People I know spend so much on leisure,frivolities and luxury in a way that I cannot comprehend. Instead of factories and cottage industries,Everywhere is dotted with mosques ,churches, hotels and event centres. The current polity highlights so many structural issues. The upper middle class who are supposed to be the engine of the economy only spend on lifestyle; designer clothes, holidays and schools abroad ,expensive cars , beverages and Rolexes.They add little or no value while getting so much out of the system . Take a look at Alibaba and see all sort of Manufacuring plant and Machineries that are available for sale . Yet we import stuff that add no value .You can probably build to 200 small factories for the price of 100 cars parked in front of a church in Lekki on sunday. Food security is another one . How did we manage to acquire an unhealthy taste for foreign food like rice which we do not have the geographical advantage to mass produce while ignoring our local food. Why are citizens protecting the civil service when much of it is simply not adding any value . The salaries of civil servants and politicians consumes much of our national budget. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Farook is right. Tinubu has no such appeal even in his native South-West. Same as Atiku in the North. Only two Politicians enjoy cult followership aka abdication syndrome in their region in Nigeria. Buhari and Peter Obi. They can never do wrong in the eyes of their ardent followers even though both of them lack the grit. You either support their incompetences or you get ostracised. Most of the President's trusted Lagos boys have failed. He has to fire Cardoso before the remaining little support he has in the North vanishes completely. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Cardoso is a victim of politicization of appraisal of CBN performance. Historically, the performances of all CBN governors has correlated with the petrol dollar availability. To me, Emefiele was the only guy who performed beyond the level of available petrodollar in his time. All other governors of the CBN were simply lucky to have the dollar available. Not one of them influenced inflow of dollar in any significant way. Cardoso's case is agrevated by what Emefiele and Buhari did with loans and cash in circulation. They created a huge problem by spending out of recession and into crippling debt that eats revenue. 5 Likes 1 Share |

IN a way, we are seeing the effects of paying subsides after subsides for decades, without thinking about where the money comes from. Now, we are all paid out, the economy is not diversifed, corruption is at an all time high, and debt is eating 90% of our revenue. We are seeing the effects of bad decisions, and of repeated sacrifices of the economy on the altar of power. NOw, either we make sane decisions or we keep on going on 2 Likes |
