You have not answered

If you stopped believing government eons ago, how do you believe government used 90% of its revenue to service debts?

Are you not confused like this?
I dont know how anyone bought that incongruous lie.

Yes and subsides work so well, we are a rich and powerful nation

I never knew tinubu supporters engaged in such self deceit.
If you you were capable of stopping for serious thought for a moment. We are talking of impoverished third world countries here. One of the biggest factors that has impoverished them is corruption, which you consistently ignore. The question is, in seeking the panacea to their poverty, have you seen even just one case where the implementation of these Bretton Woods prescriptions have worked? There isnt so much as one instance in history, rather, in every single instance the truth is that these prescriptions have led to disaster writ large.

This is the historical fact and if it is not sufficient to help you ponder deeper, then nothing will.

I will rather die in poverty than receive millions as salary while helping the government to propagate lies in the name of spokesperson.
Now you are a true patriot.

🤣 I have just realised that some people think that the corrections aka hardship will be a shock to me (look at Deepsight's post).

It seems like they don't know that I predicted this around 2020 (remember my diagram) and stated why we must go through it. Nobody that readsmy diary and posts will think that this is a surprise to me.

I predicted it, I wrote why we must go through it, I wrote why we must see it to the end and not abandon it halfway and I wrote about the other times that we did corrections and abandoned them half way (Shagari and austerity, Babangida and SAP, Obasanjo's reforms, GEJ's attempt at reforms, etc).
Hi Naptu2. Can you be gracious enought to point me to one single third world country where the Bretton Woods prescriptions (removal of subsidies and devaluation of currency) have worked? Indeed is there any single instance where those prescription s have failed to wreck the economies they have been applied to?

I dont require more than one instance. Just one example of where these prescriptions ever succeeded. Just one.

Deep Sight.

Stay humble my friend.
For you won't be here one day.
And although you think you might have left a legacy,
In due time it too will fade with you.
You want to be remembered as someone who
Was kind.
Loving.

Respectful.
Helpful.
Friendly.
And above all humble.
So take the compliments nicely.
Try to always be kind.
And try to be forgiving.
Although I know it can sometimes be hard.
Help others.
Stand up for one another.

Because those are the true legacies that impact lives.
Not just some material thing that will fade faster than you think.
If you knew anything about the bold you would not go about supporting policies which are killing people. And which have a record of inflicting nothing but poverty and death everywhere and everytime they have been implemented anywhere.

Do you love corrupt politicians?
Beware, the fellow is unstable.

He cannot ever admit the existence of corrupt politicians. For him, the world begins and ends with subsidy removal. For him, no corrupt politician has had any role to play in the problem.

And keeping subsidy has made us prosperous and rich and as powerful as the USA.
It has nothing to do with subsidies and everything to do with corruption.

BY the way, it is funny that someone named after a villan is calling me evil. Almost like he projects too much, not so?

Ah well, he is such a lovely boy. All the ladies and men love him, he has such lovely brown hair and fair skin and he looks so handsome when he wears his little black suit.
As we both know, you have psychiatric problems.

You lie again!!

We lost four refineries to corruption not subsidy.

Gbam thank you very much, this is the simple truth which every sane person knows. However that deluded poster will NEVER address the issue of corruption. He will ETERNALLY render fake calculations to prove that the only problem was subsidy. Subsidy in itself was never a problem, only corruption balloned it absurdly and made it a problem, and the removal of subsidies and devaluation of currencies is an age old IMF/ World Bank prescription which has never worked anywhere and has only ever destroyed every economy it has been implemented in.

This is a historical fact.

Do you worship corruption, the way you mention it?
Why can you not address corruption? Is it that in your worldview, corruption does not exist in Nigeria. Because you never address it. You only concoct false figures to argue that the people must pay more and more and that this is all there is to the problem.

Is corruption not involved in the problem? Is corruption indeed not the root of the problem?

And where did you get your figures from? How did you arrive at the cost of N720 to refine a liter of crude oil.

Ojuntana:
I was reading your argument objectively until I got here and I saw you spilling lies as usual. Why do you lie?

How did you arrive at trillions for border security if I may ask?

How is smuggling the main issue of subsidy cost? How many litres of petrol do you think it's realistically smuggled per day in Nigeria? Anyone with half brain knows smuggled fuel is insignificant when compared to our total consumption.

How will removal of subsidy discourage smuggling if we have local refining?

Once the landing cost and administrative charges are removed by local refining, fuel still will be cheaper in Nigeria than in most other west African countries even if subsidy is removed.

Dangote diesel which is sold at around N900 per litre factory price is cheaper than price of diesel in all our neighbouring countries.

I just wish to call your attention to the lie that subsidy removal will curb smuggling.

Peace ✌️
Try not to reason with that person, he is deranged.
