I don't feel anything....

I have grown beyond the stage where people's opinion, comments and actions move me anymore.

The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, has dismissed concerns over the alleged lavish lifestyles of public officials.

Adedeji said President Bola Tinubu does not live extravagantly despite his position.

He stated this during an interview with Channels Television, on Sunday, where he was questioned by journalist Seun Okinbaloye about the lifestyles of political office holders amid the economic challenges confronting Nigerians.

The discussion comes amid public debate over government spending and the lifestyles of political leaders, particularly as Nigerians continue to contend with rising living costs and economic pressures.

Responding to questions about the President’s movements and reported use of luxury vehicles, Adedeji claimed that Tinubu usually walks from his residence to his office and only uses a vehicle when travelling to the airport.

He also said the President eats only once daily and had not travelled outside Nigeria in the past three months.

When asked about the number of Escalades reportedly attached to Tinubu’s convoy, Adedeji challenged the premise of the question, arguing that the President could afford such vehicles.

He[b] said, “Mr President goes from home to office on foot, not even driving except when he is going to the airport. I don’t know where you see the convoy. Before he became president, what is he riding?

“How much is an Escalade that the president of Nigeria cannot afford? Please don’t embarrass this country.

“What is living large? In the last months, he has not even left the shores of this country, trekking and working. If you go there now, you will see him review one document or the other.
[/b]
“So what is living large? The president eats once in a day. How many parties have you seen him at in the last three years? Tell me where you have seen him, whether on holiday or anywhere?”

Seun Okinbaloye: Are you not bothered that there is a feeling that people in government live large and in luxury, and there is a lot of poverty?

Kidney disease and Cancer are now becoming one of the fast rising disease in Nigeria. It has killed many and many are still battling with this disease. Some of the causes of these diseases are not really coming from us or what we eat, some of the causes are coming from our farmers and our food/fruit vendors. Farmers using chemicals to hasten the growth of their crops and food vendors using harmful preservatives to preserve their crops. Lets not forget the sale of fake and expired food products. Below are some of the list of preservatives they are using;

1) Beans - Sniper or dangote cement.
2) Palm oil - Red dye + water.
3) Fried Plantain chips - Either transformer oil to save cost or vegetable oil + nylon to make it shiny and hard.
4) Fufu - Klin i.e detergent to ferment cassava in hours instead of days.
5) Kpomo - formalin to preserve it further.
6) Fresh fish - Industrial dye.
7) Unripe pineapple and banana - ripening in hours with chemicals.
😎 Mango - ripening overnight by pouring inside smelly gutter waters.

These are but a few, meanwhile, Nigerian yam, beans are banned across parts of Europe for containing excess pesticides used by farmers without proper measurements.

We virtually consume these on daily basis, and result today is unprovoked kidney, Cancer and liver damage.
Beware of your food vendors in Nigeria!!
