Someone will take time to research and analyse a situation in Nigeria but empty shells like you and other government propaganda agents on nl will not read to understand or even provide a superior argument. You will simply echo an empty and well rehearsed mundane line to confuse and mislead unenlightened minds reading your post.

Shame on you

Thank you Sir. To be honest with you I didn't even read his post, neither did I read even the reply by the girl I referred to up there. I mark and take notice of people to avoid even their comments not to talk of posts here as I know their way of thinking and they're very predictable.

I have mentioned Africa as a whole in the post even more than I did Nigeria particularly so this is not a post specific and localized to Nigeria alone. I still have Peter Obi's picture as my profile pic but I still disagree with him where I do not agree as I am my own person and not driven by personality worship or caveman tribal jingoist bigotry. I am not even from the South.

May God help their types, they own and dominate Nairaland.

All I know is asiwaju is trying, he met a big mess on ground and promised to fix it which he's gradually doing. He will leave as one of the best president Nigeria ever had. Mark my words.

Points of correction

Asiwaju met no mess.

He created this mess we are all in.

Well researched! And superior argument! Thank God sheeples like you will never get to hold any serious power.
Somebody wrote a bunch of unrelated mumbo-jumbo without addressing the specific issues we have with our own economy. Without addressing why we spend all our resources subsidizing imported fuel with little to nothing to invest in everything else.
You are here ignorantly hailing it as a superior argument!
Superior to you perhaps. Double shame on you.

If you are not blind, deaf, dumb and a complete illiterate then you don't need to be told that Nigeria is suffering from massive brain drain, massive inflation, high unemployment and underemployment, extremely low production capacity, massive corruption and highly underpaid workforce.

Only a crass illiterate will believe that removing subsidy completely is the best way to fight corruption in a country where corrupt politicians and corrupt and rotten civil/public servants have devised means to always loot and steal public funds.

Keep praying that someone like me doesn't get into power cos if I do, in my first 30 days in office, minimum of 200 politicians and political associates, public/civil servants from all the major tribes in Nigeria who have in one way or the other stolen public funds as low as 1 kobo will face the firing squad. In same period the useless present constitution of Nigeria will be abolished and a new one written that returns Nigeria to regional system of government and expressly prescribes death sentence for any elected or appointed public official who steals public resources and even accepts bribe.

I'll certainly not forget to prioritize mental health treatment for online sycophants like you who support useless politicians for tribal and religious reasons

Very interesting read,

You are a crass illiterate. What has the removal of fuel subsidy got to do with mass migration? Did people start migrating last year when subsidy was removed?
Someone like you will never get any real power because the moment you open your mouth people will realize how shallow you are.
Your "superior argument" was ranting about Elon Musk, how do you provide the type of quality Education Elon Musk had by spending all your money subsidizing consumption of fuel?
Then in another totally incongruous argument he pivoted to China. China! I bet folks like you are ignorant of the fact that majority of the Chinese people rode bicycle even when their economy was already in full swing.
Then some ignorant Nigerians will come here to lecture us on why the government should subsidize the cost of running their not one but two or more SUVs.
How dare you come to me with crass ignorance. You think Nigerians are not discerning enough to spot fake people like you with nothing upstairs?
Power? Keep dreaming, you don't even appear smart enough to carry out a successful coup not to mention winning an election.

Tell some Nigerians to do this because that is what the Chinese did and they will threaten to kill some phantom politicians who stole the money their papa saved somewhere.

Okonjo Iweala is a figure head, she can not do more than what she's assigned to do.

You really don't need to argue with these ediots. You've made valid points and it's left for them to make of it whatever they wish.

Whatever happens, it's those mostly affected that I pity.

You're dumb.

You're dumb.

No, you are.

The truth is, the people supporting Tinubu, in reality, would not dare hire someone like him to manage their businesses.....

I know about the Agreements like GAT etc. Our farmers cannot even produce enough for local consumption. How can we be talking about subsidising for export? I know that many of the agreements are against third world countries but we need financial muscle to be able to negotiate new agreements.

You're right. Thats why the global south has consistently championed fair trade deals, even bussiness playing grounds, and so on.

But as long as the west continues to subsidize essential sectors for its citizens, it will be very difficult for negotiations to favour or even be fair to us.

Thats why i am against wholesale subsidy removal and advocate for protectionism.

Sir, I support subsidy on two conditions:
1. There are no rent seekers among the operators like in the oil subsidy of Nigeria. Most of the benefits of such subsidy goes to the rich, not the poor it is meant for.

2. The items are not taken to those who should not benefit from it. Like smuggling the oil to foreign countries where they are sold cheaply because it has been subsidised by our tax payers money.

If these two conditions are met, then subsidy is good.

Very correct, sir. Govt has to tackle the corruption in the whole subsidy structure.

It ought to create a whole lot of transparency in the program.

Now, with subsidy removal, the fg seems to be subsidizing the oppulent lifestyle of the govs. They collect almost double allocation of what was obtainable during subsidy, and some still owe salary arreas.
