I love Nigeria deeply but Sometimes I wonder if there's a spell on Nigerians, the spell that keeps us from speaking up or standing together against injustice.

Fuel subsidy was removed, and what followed?
Poverty and unbearable hardship. We already pay VAT. Most of us youths are unemployed. Yet, somehow, God gave us wisdom to survive through small businesses, remote jobs, and trading the financial markets opportunities the government never created for us.

We cried about unemployment, we cried about the high cost of living, we cried about insecurity, Still, absolutely nothing is being done, everything in Nigeria remains a struggle.

We struggle to get even the basic things of life in Nigeria, (shelter) house rent wan kee person, (food) person no fit chop balance diet not to talk of 3 square meal a day… etc

To gain admission is hard, to graduate is harder.
To serve your country is another battle. And after all that, no jobs. We kept quiet through it all.
Now, suddenly, they want to tax us. For what exactly?

My pain is that many Nigerians don't even realize how deeply this will hurt us. I have no problem paying tax but only in a country that works, not in this broken system.
I love Nigeria deeply, but I am heartbroken by what our nation has become.

We must speak up against this tax. Look at the interview between Rufai Oseni and Minister of Works, David Umahi, on Arise TV over the cost of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project. Oseni simply ask Umahi for the project's cost per kilometer, a figure he felt the public deserved to know but the minister was not providing… and it turned to heated argument.

Let the government first show us what they did with the money from fuel subsidy before demanding more from us.

And now, we're hearing reports that the current Tinubu administration is gifting over N250 million to each governor defecting to APC, N1 billion to senators, and N500 million to House members, and everyone is quiet?
When will we say enough is enough? What's really going on with us?
I jst dey think about this country’s future, E be like I go sell my properties japa becus the country’s light don off at the end of the tunnel

The guy you just quoted is a paid Apc agent. He sees nothing wrong in this administration as his duty is to defend this government in all their decisions and activities.

@Op
Ii have been Imagining how next year, from January will look like. From Federal Govt, to State Govt, Taxing Citizens without any Single Benefits .
Here in Enugu, The Commission of Finance told the people to Expect Heavy Taxes from January 2026, & Federal Govt has also added tax to petroleum products.

Honesty it going to be Tough next year for Nigerians.

And APC and tinubu will win landslide in 2027

You better sell off that property of yours and leave this hellhole now that you still can. Those of us that are married with children are trapped here already otherwise I would have left long time ago

Those paid lap dogs will soon come and call you an iPob for being genuinely concerned about your country.

We are solving the problems. No retreat, no surrender.

Please can you show us your tweet when Jonathan was in government let's see weather you are a patriot or a hypocrite.


😛😛😛

Nigeria is actually very easy to fix, but the problem is the mindset of our leaders..They don't see Nigeria as Home, that's why their family members are all abroad
There’s no politician in Nigeria that his/her children aren’t in yankee, even local chairman pikin dey aboard…. Buhari kpai for aboard

The moment they start seeing Nigeria as their father’s land then our problem is solved,, but until then my guy japa if u can.
