Some Nigerians are fo.ols and illeterates. Do they think the president automatically solves the problems of a country? People see their local governing politicians around but they keep quite. They would rather hail them and get peanuts than hit them where it hurts.


Every arm of the government has got job to do.

The fish rots from the head,, - That was one of the favorite quotes used against the past government which I agree with.
People can't get fuel, with a sharp overall reduction in standard of living from poor to abysmal, and you expect them to blame powerless local governments.
Don't be a zombie.

Is fuel the only problem of Nigeria? Do you think FG is the only arm of government that would do everything including that small Street that leads to your house? Quit been a zombie

Gext22:
You are still being a zombie.
People are not asking for paradise. They just want their standard of living to return back to what it was last year, which was not much anyway.
You are a zombie, but not an intelligent one.

Sigh....puts on the propaganda hat as usual

Disclaimer: This is not a defence or an attack. Just stating facts.

1.All those Nigerians complaining....what alternatives do they propose?

2.We are in this situation because since independence....our economy has been tied to the price of the resources that we sell. If the price of the resources we sell goes down, we lose revenue....and our economy goes down.

3.Right now...the price of the main resource we sell...oil is down. As a result...the high standards of living that we enjoyed (not that everyone enjoyed it)...has fallen down too.

4.Because we are so dependent on oil...we have forgotten to manufacture things. As a result....we import. When prices are high...we can import as much as we like because we have the money. When prices fall...we can no longer import....and we have to do so at higher prices.

5.Most of the critics of Buhari.....are not really attacking him. They want to sit down and continue to import things that would make them comfy. The fact that they cannot do that is what is making them angry.

6.We can get out of this mess...by spending more on power and industrial development, and less on subsidies, as well as increasing taxes...and using the money saved to develop industrial support infrastructure....which would guarantee a prosperous future. But these people do not want that solution....because it means that we would go through a period of suffering....which they really do not want.

7. Things appeared better under the last admin because we had the forex to buffer the naira, as well as the forex to import goodies. Now...we do not have that forex....and things are harder.

8. Right now....Nigerians are grumbling. But if they want the goodies to come back....that means we have to take a loan from the IMF or we deplete our savings account to keep everyone happy. At the end of the day...we would have a brief Indian summer to be followed by a 1000 year winter.

9.Nigeria's route to economic survival lies with the development of a local industrial sector dependent on raw materials from within. It does not lie in oil.....or in fooling ourselves...the way we have been for decades....with the revenues from resources. I am afraid most Buhari ciritics do not see that. They only see that there is no more free money to chop.

The era of free things is over. Time we fixed this country.

P.S- If you want free flow of fuel....you would have to deregulate. But....most anti and even pro Buhari people do not want to pay for fuel at high prices. They want cheap fuel.

Well...that is the cold reality. We do not have money. Better tighten your seatbelts. If it is any comfort...if GEJ had saved money, and told the governors to forget sharing....it would have just delayed the evil day longer.

After checking all the names of all the people that made the comments, I have nothing to say.

Surely, they all my angry IPOB brothers from the land of rising sun. They will never see anything good in this government.
