Because we have never been a rich nation at all.

Right now, our budget is 30 trillion naira. Which is far too low for a nation our size. Tax to gdp is also too low.

Corruption makes the matter worse

We should industrialize

tinubu never campaigned to the poor. he kept all his campaign within his co-politicians. What were the poor expecting? he doesn't regard them.

doncartel:
He’s trying in the power sector sha. I’ve been enjoying like 15 or 20 hours daily.

Tinubu, look for a man called Gordon Brown in London. He succeeded Tony Blair as Prime Minister and he’s very passionate about Africa.

Appoint him as a close honorary economic adviser and tell him that you want to take Nigeria from third world to first world.

Be ready to replace Nelson Mandela as the greatest president in African history.

Mediocrity is celebrated by Nigerians. Ghana and all your neighbours have constant light. But your praising half light

isArray:
I don't fully agree, there are policies that'll definitely make life softer for people

Well those polices are within the jurisdiction of your state & local government.

The problem with Nigeria is that the vast majority do not understand the democracy system that they are practicing, hence they keep getting poorer as time keeps ticking.

Wealth is created in the states, & local governments not in Abuja.

Very very funny indeed.

Tinubu can only fool his dogs not me

It’s not entirely right to say they’re not benefiting, but generally, Nigerians tend to share bad news more than good news. Food prices have decreased across the board. Considering that the majority of people spend a large portion of their income on food, it’s hard to claim they are not benefiting.
Beyond food, prices of essential items have either dropped or remained stable. You don’t have to rely on my word—just visit any supermarket and check the prices yourself.
However, there’s also the important issue of avoiding an excessive crash in food prices, as this could disincentivize food producers, ultimately harming the supply chain and food security.
One issue I’ve been reflecting on is that wages in Nigeria are generally very low. We need to find a way to increase wages without triggering inflation. While this is challenging, it’s not impossible. No one should be earning less than $200 per month.
This is especially relevant given that the new minimum wage in Nigeria is about ₦70,000 per month (roughly $50) which many still consider insufficient to meet basic living costs.

Well na the people we dey wait for Tinubu to remove them from poverty, u go sorry for.

Proverbs 29 v 2 King James Bible Has The Answer, And It Says

"When The Righteous Are in Authority, The People Rejoice, But When The Wicked Rules, The People Mourn."

The government should invest in mechanized farming and fishing vessels as a means of youth empowerment

Create farm estates nationwide with adequate security alongside with amenities to attract the youth population into the sector

The current world system is designed to strategically eliminate people who are NOT fit enough to survive

Mind you, it's not physically fit to survive

The financial aspect of surviving is what is being used to eliminate a large population of people—most especially the poor masses—who are already being referred to by the Elites as the "useless eaters"

It's a slow and gradual process but a very efficient method of depopulation

Ironically, you people at the opposition shouting hardship, hunger never experienced it meaning the same government policies you have been undermining are working for you just deliberately being mischievous. Unfortunately

He thinks otherwise, very unfortunate.

The power of gasliting.
I'm beginning to believe this government means well and is doing well even without proof.

Fuel is now N875 in Nigeria. People are growing poorer, savings are getting depleted daily, but some people believe e reforms are working.

Ok, so your argument is that Tinubu is reducing hunger. No length is too far for you praise singers.

Foods are now very cheap compare to what it was somewhere around this time last year. Yes I am talking about our common staples like cassava flour, garri, rice and beans. So the so called poor can still afford nutritious meals without breaking banks. Aside from worrying about continental dishes, common staples especially home made food are cheap

So the poor should continue ingesting carbohydrates only. Re activate your sense.

Well that has been your plight since October 1 1960, I remember the great Fela Kuti & his number one record before we were born, “Suffering & Smiling”.

How much is a bag of rice in your area and what is the minimum wage in your area let's check if the so called poor can still afford nutritious meals.

Mr capacitor, well done.

The cauntry wasn't designed for the poor, it was made to lynch on their sweats, feed on their traumas, dance by their tears and enjoy the drama of beign haunted by armed envaders

There are no ciitizens , just sląvesx hoping to be free by some sort of breakthrough or overseas escape

either survivors or victimns, not citizens

Wale Edun disagrees with you.

thisweekng:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Na Tinubu u dey wait to come feed u abi?

Please u are not serious.

nairavsdollars:
The presidency keeps saying the bold reforms are visible but why are poor Nigerians not reaping the benefit of President Bola Tinubu's reforms after two years in office?

Because he will say it's labor pains to deliver a child meanwhile it's simply about stealing.

Mr capacitor, well done.

Dey wait for Tinubu to come & elevate u out of poverty, keep waiting.

Ask Google

So to you, it's not the government's fault. It's that Nigerians have very low IQ. Is there anything you Tinubu gang wouldn't say to defend the worst president in our history?

favor914:
Heaven helps those who help themselves, no policy will remove a person from poverty, that cannot think for themselves.

Tinubu’s policies remove people from poverty in 2 years? What an absurd statement.

A joke, the poor remain poor, because they lack the mental capacity to create wealth for themselves & add any value to society.

Clap for yourself. English is sweeter in your mouth.

How cheap is food compared to 2023 or even to 2015?
So called poor with eroded wages and high unemployment meaning they have to share whatever litte they have with others
