politics is like anambra egusi soup, you need to balance the bitterness of the bitterleaf and the saucy taste of the remaining condiments. Yekini is just being a good cook.

So let him cook!

Good decision... The timing was wrong but because some people have vested interest in the dangote refinery, they don't care about the suffering that tariff would push 85% of Nigerians into.

We need to have like 4 refineries working in full capacity before we ever think of banning importation of petrol and diesel!

You know that there are vested interests in the fuel import business too?

At the end, we can't continue measures that harm local production. That's how we lost our textile industry.

I knew from the onset that that thing will not fly.

Some of Tinubu's executive orders were not comprehensively analysed before being signed.

Even the so called new "tax laws" from January, 2026 will still be further revised or suspended too. Mark my words.

Most Nigerians are extremely suffering currently, and the govt have not yet come to terms with the clear reality.

The tax laws is just not serious. So if I send a student 100k monthly as allowance, he'll pay tax on top. They don't see that things are very expensive.

I am seeing some quiet implementation of parts of the tax laws already. You are right however, I expect it to be suspended especially because of the coming election. It will be an electoral killer for the govt.

You can say the government is a listening government, but the policy twists and reversals is getting too much o.
It gives the impression that advisers do not do enough deep thinking and consultations before advising the president. He too should weigh things before giving his approval.

This one is just fear of the coming election. If the win the election it will come straight back with many many many more taxes.

We can see-that President Tinubu is having listening ears!
The Best way to Fix The Economy:
1•- Is ALLOW Some Foods Stuff into the Country- For A Short Period Of Say 2- 3yrs,e g Importations of Rice 🌾, Frozen Fishes and Frozen Foods,
2•-Lowering the Banks Interest Rates from 27% p.a.- to 8% p.a.for Borrowers Of Funds in the Banks,
-Also Interest Rates On Farmers Should Be As Low As Possible - 3% p.a For ALL FARMERS!
3•Ensure Industrial Development Sector-Growth - for example - Govt Should Ensure Adequate 24/7 Light 🕯️ 🚨.- WITHOUT LIGHT NO INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION!
4.Continuously- Working To Lower the FOREX PRICES.
5•All Government Arms( Federal,States, Local Govts -:
Should Work on Basic Amenities like:
- good road 🛣️,
-Regi Light 🕯️,
- Good water,
- Functional Railway Networks in our Towns and Cities.
• Youths Employments Is A MUST for a Peaceful Nigeria.

Always going back and forth. Tinubu is just an arrogant failure.

He is totally useless. A serious country would implement policies that will encourage industrial development, but this fool called Tinubuis is only interested in being re-elected
