The way Tinubu and his minions are SCRAMBLING helter-skelter to implement SENSIBLE policies at the prospect of a nationwide protest is a testament to how EVIL they are.

They had the means to ALLEVIATE the pain and suffering of Nigerians but they chose to do NOTHING!

Pure EVIL!

Now that the CONSEQUENCES of their evil ways is about to catch up to them, they are in PANIC mode.
You can say that again. We knew all these beforehand and the reason we've been shouting from day one and they called us names

This is a commendable move by the FG! It shows they are finally recognizing the plight of the average Nigerian.

By suspending import duties and taxes on essential food items, they are directly addressing hunger and making life a bit easier for the citizens.

Let’s see how this plays out and hope it leads to more affordable food prices across the market. It's about time the government prioritizes the welfare of its people!

Well, not sure this makes too much sense

Shooting oneself in the revenue foot to get prices down.

Ah well, ...the elephant in the room is that one man, one hoe can't feed a nation of 260 million people.

Finally, some good news! This is a much-needed move to alleviate the suffering of everyday Nigerians. The price of food has been skyrocketing, and with this suspension, I hope we can see a significant drop in prices. Kudos to the FG for listening to the people's cry. Let's keep pushing for more positive changes!
There is nothing good here, it is very saddening that those bastards want to strangle people with hardship on purpose.

Those that are advising this man are his arch enemy that are looking for his downfall i swear. So for their feeble minds, these id!0ts thinks they can fool /scam Nigerians. What Nigerians need right now is the return of fuel subsidy and functional refineries not this temporary rubbish they are doing, untill then, NO GOING BACK ON THE PROTEST.!!!
#EndBadGovernanceInNigeria

The layman on the street won't understand this, it will still take time before price of good will come down.
He should should bring back fuel subsidy, then the layman will understand , if not I don't know what this protest might lead to.

To stop this protest, he should announce on air today, that subsidy has come back, if not, protest will not stop.
The people that will destroy government buildings are on the street and they only know that is removal of fuel subsidy that brought hardship to Nigeria,
to stop the protest, bring back fuel subsidy.

Fuel is never going back to N165.
What they should have done is give each person making less than 12 million a year . A bag of rice and 50k.

Yet some people still conderming those who want to protest . If not becos of threat of protest, Tinubu won't start give different soft landing policies of recent.

This policies were there hurting people all this while and the government acted like it wasn't a big deal. I just don't understand how you see your people crying of hunger daily yet you say they should endure it for the greater good when you could actually do something about it.
if anyone understands them, such person has a cognitive challenge, e no just correlate.

I love your comment buddy. I am so amazed that this Tinubu govt can implement all these in a short while. It all shows that they knew how wickedly they acted with their wicked economic policies. One very good thing is that Nigerians are fed up because there is too much hunger in land. This govt is really scared of the planned Aug 1st protest I am loving this. Indeed power belongs to the people

If wheat, yeast, butter/margarine and other bakery ingredients are not included among the items to enjoy zero import duties then we might just be an effort in futility.
