There is no time the economy has not been collapsing according to Nigerians.

Shagari era was austerity and essenco
Buhari took over and was removed because economy was collapsing

IBB came and we had stomach adjustment programme and operation 1-0-1, chop 1 miss 1 and chop 1,

Abacha came and we know what happened

Obasanjo Nigeria jagajaga, multiple ethnic clashes, political instability, high level corruption,

Goodluck Jonathan, stealing is not corruption, fuel scarcity, useless local content ideology,

Buhari insecurity, economy collapse, naira for naira exchange in one country killing businesses. Trial by error policies

Tinubu .Indifference to corruption by top brass

So tell me when Nigeria was ever good to anyone in that particular dispensation

Bro, we are talking of astronomical increase in prices of goods within a year (now running into 2) of the govt. Buhari managed to keep prices to reasonable levels despite our cash crunch challenges of his first tenure.

And the fact that the economy has always been going south cannot be a reason not to call a govt out for it.

His son's involvement in how the country is governed.

He is another disappointment. Seems all of them are, sadly so.
Whilst I agree with you that all Nigerian politicians are useless, I am interested in what proof you have of the text in bold.

I know President Tinubu banned him from being in ministers meetings early on in his regime so when did what you claim about the son running the country happen?

Two things determine price
Cost of production and demand and supply theory.
During past Administrations we were borrowing to subsidise spending, which is very wrong.

A lot of things will align, when the unnecessary things fall off by the way side.

We were importing Irish wine, Brazilian hair, apple phones, duvets all because we had borrowed dollars , DSTV, used cars.
Nigerians have been leaving above Thier means for so long,
Now it is either improvise or go extinct .

Am not holding brief for the government on everything but they are getting something's right and the economy is one of it

Proudlyngwa:
You guys will continue getting disappointed because your expectations of government is Utopian.
As far as am concerned though Tinubu being a monumental failure in a lot of aspects, he has done better than past presidents who kept on cosmeticing our inefficiency.
Fuel subsidy is said to be gone and hopefully so, multiple exchange rates which led to round tripping looks like a thing of the past.
Food scarcity was caused by the ineffectual Buhari's handling of herders farmers issue discouraging a lot of people from going into farming.

You guys just want cheap things not better things and you are willing to eat deep into your unborn generations future to have it.

As for Fubara, he declared that he does not recognise the legislature and no government can exist without the legislature.
He set the tone for anarchy .
I personally don't want cheap things at the expense of better things. I did not think we needed to continue with all the subsidies. However, we should ask ourselves if the govt has managed the gains of subsidy removal well to benefit the masses. Giving more money to the governors, for them to do as they wish with, is not the way to invest the gains from the subsidy removal. Btw, we are not sure that subsidy is totally gone, especially with the disparity in the dollar/naira rate that still exists.

As for Fubara, the sensible thing would have been to allow him be removed constitutionally by the HoA. That is what the constitution recognizes in removing a democratically elected governor. The president could have deployed military personnel to secure the pipes while pre-empting the chaos that may greet Fubara's impeachment. Anyhow you dice it, removing him in the manner the president did is undemocratic, especially when he had on two previous occasions condemned such actions. Supporting his move amounts to only one thing - hypocrisy.

I personally don't know if subsidy is gone because without subsidy diesel should be cheaper than PMS , so am sceptical about that, more money being given to governors does not mean better economy in fact it can lead to inflation which is too much money chasing too few goods.
The idea of local government autonomy is one area I think this government has tried and should money get to the grassroots via local government I believe things will get better as local production might increase and the centre might decongest, which is one problem we have had for too long , everyone migrating to state capitals making price of things in the city too expensive.


Fubara would have resisted his impeachment because he did not believe in the assembly saying the assembly does not exist
I will advise you to read up on Ekiti and fayoses tenure , where we had 3 people claiming to be govenor

Fubara's wings had already been clipped by the SC judgment. That was the reason he was running helter-skelter to appease the House. In any case, impeaching him remains what could have been the right thing to do if he must be removed.

1. His mismanagement of the economy and encouraging his appointees, through his silence, to blame it on his predecessor (PMB).
2. His meddling in the Lagos Assembly leadership tussle that resulted in returning a speaker that was validly removed.
3. His undemocratic removal of Rivers state governor and the elected reps there, just to ensure that Wike has the final say. He could, and should have allowed Fubara to be impeached if he could not mediate properly. That would have been democratic and heaven will not fall had Fubara been impeached.
4. The revelation that the NASS members were bribed to support his military-styled removal of a sitting governor - something he had vehemently condemned in the past!
5. His son's involvement in how the country is governed.

I can go on and on. He is becoming a tyrant and he may easily destroy what is left of our democracy.

After the Ebola turd finish him 8 years by 2031, with nothing achieved, if God never call am, he go still rule all of una by proxy till him pai. Wanna bet? How many governors from the set of 1999 still dey rule their state in 2025? All 36states and the FCT, na Only one still dey run affairs of the same state!
