Shaytun: It’s not an ill planned policy, it’s a policy that has been in place since 2021.
Various state governor’s have announced palliative measures.
I’ll prefer you look to your state government to ease subsidy pain than the federal government.
You believe in Nigeria politicians and that isba major shortcoming ...now in your state of residence,what is the palliatives and how has it been?? In Edo state..there is a reduction in work rate wch will definitely hampers productivity.
A 5 day working rate results isn't seen visibly,how will a 3 day be.
Shaytun: I don’t think there was any introduction of tuition fee in the unity school. Unity school still remain tuition free.
Nevertheless, what I want is the total elimination of whatever fee is being paid in public schools.
If government cannot fund school uniforms, then let student wear whatever they like, cancel registration fee also.
It should cost a Parent zero Naira to enroll their ward in a public school.
All this I hope to see starting from next year, with an education minister in place and budget approved.
You saw sundry expenses bro....
I didn't put tuition fees there.
It doesn't matter to the poor If pry school cost zero naira....alot of children will be branches in whatever meagre biz a parent decide to indulge in ..
Shaytun: There’s no plan that will be on ground that will do much to mitigate the effect of a 250% increase in the price of a necessity good.
Stop letting them bobo you with big grammar like palliative and such, unless you are introducing another form of subsidy, people are going to feel the effect hard.
You see why we called him a fool for an ill-planned policy??
It is about 70days since he announced d removal,what has he done to maybe make people see reasons...
Shaytun: I’m more concerned on Primary and Secondary education.
That’s what the government should focus on, leave tertiary education alone.
And eliminate all forms of fee in Primary and secondary, I support subsidy payment on grassroots education with my full chest.
Introduce school feeding program expecially at the primary level, provision of glass of milk during break time for kids under the age of ten will do more in eliminating insecurity and poverty in Nigeria than spending 350 million dollars a month defending the Naira will.
You saw recently d amount that was posted for unity school n probably blv d gov gives a hoot about the children outa school
Despite that,the ripple effect of subsidy removal will kick more outa school...
Whether you like it or not,sundry expenses will still force the children out as the parents wouldn't want to pass his meagre salary on those increased expenses...
Shaytun: When did I say that they are Easy policies?
How can removal of subsidy be an easy policy?
But as a nation we really need to figure out what is right and what are priorities should be.
The study of economics is how you allocate scarce resources, because resource is a scarce commodity all around the world.
There’s no justification whatsoever in spending more money on subsidy than on education or health, it’s an abomination.
You guys still don’t know that there is a very big fire on the mountain, the country has 20 million out of school children bro. 20 million!!, the highest in the world, those are potentially jihadist, kidnapper and armed robbers of tomorrow.
And you are here defending spending 350 million dollars a month on defending the Naira, something that only benefit the upper class.
People seeking education abroad, PTA/BTA , Medical Tourism etc Those are the people we should be spending scarce resources on? You must be joking.
If 20m were out of school ..how many do u think would be out now when the hardship have quadrupled and school fees increased
Shaytun: Stop projecting your shallow thoughts on me bro.
I have never defended the Border closure, so I don’t know what you are talking about.
That’s the difference between me and you.
I don’t defend politicians, I defend policies. But I reckon that will be hard for you to understand seeing as you are against subsidy removal and yet voted for a candidate that promised to remove subsidy.
You will only be taken serious by me if you had been an NNPP supporter.
I don't know if you are deliberately doing this or just trying to force a narrative ..
Not everyone is against subsidy removal if it plunges the country into s deep sea....
Plans are supposed to be on ground b4 embarking on such a journey....
How on earth will you remove subsidy and unify fx....isn't that suicidal to the average Nigerians??
Despite these,there are reports of the elites sharing 70b for less important ish even when we are tagged broke..
monerozi5590: How did Bello Matawalle pass Senate screening. That man is very corrupt but I am not surprised because even the senate president is corrupt.
We don't handle corrupt cases in Nigeria very well.
The executive, judiciary and legislature are all corrupt. Corruption everywhere.
That is the only issue we have in this country.
Saying bla bla bla about dollars and subsidy is just being foolish to d brim...
monerozi5590: Calm down. This thing no easy as you see it. Tinubu knows these are hard policies but but is for the better according to him. Everyone is feeling the impact.
The Economy is trapped already. We are running the country on deficit and using loans to cover the shortfall. We can't continue to run in cycle like this. We are using our revenue or part of it for debt servicing. This loans come with interest and conditions. I am not saying borrowing is bad but we should not be over reliance on borrowing.
One way of generating revenue is through tax. I have not read Tinubu's tax reform policy but I just pray it will be easy on Nigerians and all.
Then again you can argue we have resources and all. Yeah but most of our politicians are corrupt. Corruption is also our problem.
If you ask me, I don't even know the way out of this problem.
A40: They said he was hitting the ground running. What happened? Cardio issues?
I know there's few people that actually thought he had something to offer. Na only them I dey sorry for but I have to ask what was their thought process behind that if any
The ediot is actually d worse gov (both military and civilian) We have ever had.
BlueRayDick: Reuben quoted section 5 of the 1999 constitution subsection 5 which states:
That means Tinubu can claim Nigeria's national security is under threat and still deploy our troops ; then sought ratification of the legislature within 14 days later.
Claiming is different from providing evidences that really we are under threath......
reccy: You're almost as slow as Buhari we hoped you would be different from. You came and made Buhari looks like an angel.
In as much as I'm not losing hope on you totally, please do well to find your way out and stop making life difficult for us if you have no idea how to tackle the challenges.
I will be among the first 10 people that will tackle you if you are useless. This is too much now!!! Haba!!!
You are quite objective in your review........I don't know how to explain that the fight for survival is beyond party affiliations..
He said he will reduce the dollar rate and I believed some here keyed into the vision and many more..
How they turn around to say dollar rise is actually a good thing still baffles me..
The slavery is beyond d slave trade of the olden days......
Emancipation from this mental retardation is beyond them as long as it is Tinubu.....
Emaprince: How these guys thinks a criminal will work for the nation and not stuff his pockets with the country wealth should be studied.
Anyway, as long as e dey pain us, they are happy...and they will continue their love of the country as long as the country is getting desroyed by their principals .
Shaytun: Stop wasting scarce resources defending something that should not be defended at this time.
Those resources are better utilized in other areas.
Nigerians spent close to $2B last year on foreign education, the federal government subsidised half of that payment.
To put that into perspective for you, the Government spent more money on subsidising schools fees for those furthering their education in UK, Canada and USA. Than the whole total education budget for the country.
