Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has implored President Bola Tinubu to take drastic steps towards ameliorating the hardship in the country.

Speaking in an exclusive chat with TheCable on Friday, Adams said the federal government cannot continue to impose hardship on Nigerians and not expect a reaction.

Recently, there have been protests against economic hardship in some states of the federation, with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) also declaring a two-day nationwide industrial action for February 27 and 28, 2024.

Adams said a bag of rice that was sold for less than N50,000 when former president Muhammadu Buhari handed over to Tinubu in May 2023, now goes for N85,000.

"I will advise that the government should look into the issue of multi-taxation. It always creates problems and inflation. Also, the federal government still has the chance to reconsider the issue of fuel price hike,” he said.

“Today, we are buying fuel for about N700 per litre and you are saying you don’t want people to protest. Definitely, you can’t continue to impose hardship on the people and you have the mindset that people will be quiet about it.

“How many security personnel will you use to curtail the people when the crisis comes? So, the federal government needs to take urgent drastic action on the state of the nation so that we don’t box ourselves into a corner.”

Few days ago, I saw one guy here (Odewale something) giving Nairalanders hot TIPS on how to cope with hardship and hunger this period.

That should tell you that they're not ready to be free.

Give them Polo, Cap and one Tuber of yam, they'll see Tinubu as their savior again.

Nigerians must continue speak up against bad governance.

Have you read the Bible today?

The word of God is spirit and life that gives the same, meaning, each time you read the word of God properly, the Spirit and life of God enters into you (John.6.63 - It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life).

Going through the word of God shouldn't be like reading a novel or any other book. It must be done with all seriousness and openness of heart (free your heart from sadness, pain and sinful thoughts).

Prepare yourself to receive from God and learn. Get a pen to take down notes. Pray before you begin. Read it slowly and attentively.

After reading it in that manner, Try and go over what you just read by heart and commit it to memory.
