Where I live, since the crude crash began and despite that the country uses its earnings more judiciously than Nigeria, fuel pump price has been increased on three occasions.

House rent has gone up.

Prices of consumer goods have shot up by more than 30%

Thousands of jobs have been lost as a result of same drop in crude earning (it's by God's Grace many of us are still employed).

Despite all these, residents understand that all the developments are a result of drastic drop in the country's income.

Don't I have people I send money to on monthly basis? Or do you think if I was sending N100k before now, it will still be that same N100k in these hard times?

We need to be pragmatic and show understanding.

l am cool with the fact that even you are adversely affected in one way or the other despite the fact that you live in diaspora..

How much less here at home when it is becoming almost a miracle for families to put food on the table..

We should just hope for the better and hope to God the old dude in aso rock rii ti mekunu ro.

Let me share an experience with you.

I have a brother who works in Shell. He has his first two sons in college in Canada. In one of our conversations recently, I noticed his complaint about things was very unusual, so I asked "egbon, se ko si wahala sha? You normally don't complain this much. Is it anything I can help with?"

He acknowledged things are particularly tough paying his boys fees since he needed almost double the amount he used to need because of the current exchange rate. I empathized with him and added "we should pray and hope Buhari can do something about the exchange rate". His response: "what can Buhari do? Da mi lohun? The fact is crude price has crashed. We now earn less than half of what we used to and we don't have good reserves. Aburo, ebi Buhari ko. It's just unfortunate we're where we are". He added many of his colleagues have withdrawn their children from colleges abroad but because his only have just a year to finish he's not taking that route.

That's someone who is badly affected by the exchange rate, yet he understands workings of things.

Things have been very bad before now and we must pray and show understanding with this govt. We have a right to criticize and condemn any anti people policy by them but not expecting they solve all these problems by miracles.

Exactly what almost happened to my youngest brother studying Information Technology abroad.. He graduated and refused to return home ..when exchange rates soared so high and my old man and l stopped sending him money considering the exchange rate..no one preached to him before he packed his bags and return home.. and thankfully he works with a multi national ICT company now..

But dude..a ni ye pariwo oh..ebi npa mekunu oh and a hungry man listens to no sermon..

We implore the old man to up his ante and alleviate the masses sufferings.. He owes us as much..

And knowing he probably has your ears, relay our messages to him..

Only pragmatic and analytical minds will agree with you pastor.

Let's do a simple and quick analogy:

1. I earned N100k monthly for five years. After spending on family needs and other things, I should have N20k left for savings.

2. The N20k I should keep on monthly basis in those five years, I didn't keep it but was using it on frivolities.

3. Suddenly my salary got reduced to N40k for some reason.

Will I still be able to provide for all the needs of my family as I used to when salary was N100k? Common sense should tell me and those around me that I will struggle BIG TIME while looking for alternative ways out.

Even if a wife expects her husband to still meet such needs after knowing the facts above, people around her will condemn and criticize her for not showing understanding as well as lacking perseverance.

Nigerians need to give the government reasonable time and put things in perspective of the times we are.

Only quote me if you have evidence-backed argument to offer. Not the usual inanities.

It is too early to judge Buhari’s performance- Bakare:

General Overseer Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare on Friday said it was too soon to judge the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari as change takes time.

Bakare who was Buhari’s running mate during the 2011 Presidential Election under the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), spoke to reporters at the Presidential Villa, after meeting with the President for about an hour.

“It is too early and to soon to begin to judge. If there is anything I know about Mr. President, it is that he has a good heart. He loves this country and he wants the country to run well. But it takes time. I know we are all impatient and in a hurry and I trust we will come out of the woods”

“I will like to appeal to all Nigerians that we should just exercise a bit of patience. This change will not become a chain that will tie all of us down. Change for good takes time and we should just exercise a little bit more of patience. We trust that government is listening and the leaders are listening too and they will respond to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians,” the cleric said when asked to rate the performance of the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government.

On the delay in delivering the change promised Nigerians, Bakare said, “When you are driving on a wrong direction, for example, you are going to Ibadan and you face Badagry and you get to Cotonu and you realize you have gone in the wrong direction for too long a time, then you make a U-turn, there will be some suffering you have to go through.

Pain is part of gain. No pain no gain. The years of wastage and all that we have done wrong has finally caught up with us. All we are praying for is wisdom for this government to do things right and to do the right things so that gradually, we can begin to come out of the woods”.

Asked if he supported the call to overhaul the President’s cabinet, he said, “That’s your opinion, not mine. And it is Mr. President’s. He can do what he likes when he likes it. He knows what he has given them. For example, I have not given any appointment to anyone so I can’t judge their performance. But if there are yardsticks and standards given to them and if they have performed below par, definitely, the president would not mind at the right time to do those things”.

The President also met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, shortly before his meeting with Bakare.

The Speaker was accompanied to the Villa by some lawmakers from the National Assembly including Senator Suleiman Nazif (Bauchi). Dogara who refused to answer questions posed by reporters maintained that he had only come to meet with the President.

I love your outlines.... can you please answer this question....

Did Last administration save or not?

who were those that pressurized the presidency of last administration to spend or disburse the savings?

Rapmoney:
This is one of the MOST SENSELESS analysis I have ever seen on this forum! Next pls! We have heard this countless times!!!

How was the socio-economic condition of the United States before Obama became president? If you don't know, it was a disappointment! Did he rely on the usual blame game with George Bush's administration? NO!!! When you call a technician to fix ur gadget, you don't expect him to start quarreling with the technician that worked on it before because u have paid him to fix it! It's very simple. This government, like the previous ones, is nothing but scam!!!

Darchangel:
oga since then, fuel price has been increased greatly, kerosene, cooking gas, import duties, electricity tariff, tax and you still come up with lame excuses like this? i'm sure the money generated daily from these increments can be channeled and used for capital projects or injected into the economy. if this is the explanation you can come up with then you are still living in delusion. what about the wrong economic and monetary policies that is messing up the country now. if you want to sit back and live a life of blame then do so. as for me these guys came waving their witches wand and brooms, promising miracles, that's what I expect from them. Nothing less!

An administration that inherited N47 bn in reserves but left it at just over N20 bn despite earning more than expected cannot be said to save anything.

The one shared was the Excess Crude Account (ECA) which was about N25 bn (?). The governors were very correct to insist on sharing it since they realized the presidency was already dipping its hands in the money without their knowledge. The money belonged to the states and the FG. The question should be "what did FG do with its own share of that money?"

Just google NOI's take on GEJ lacking the political will to save. As she put it "GEJ had zero will to save".

You're empty. All the increases you refer to are a result of govt not subsidizing those products any longer. Go get quality education.

your response sounds like passingshot own, like you are Same Person?..... You didn't answer my question, so they were right to share the money put you are putting blame on GEJ?..... I see
