Kudos!!!
DeLaRue:
That 40% salary increase was shocking. The questionable agreements the current government is rushing to sign are befuddling.

We need fiscal and monetary tightening to bring our debt profile to a sustainable level, not reckless spending.

Reckless spending = more debt, more debt = increased chance that we default on repayment, default will = crash of the naira to well over N1, 200 to $1. To put things in context, the Egyptian pound lost 50% of its value in 2022 alone. Don't think Naira cannot do the same.

Naira crash = hyper inflation which will finally turn the economy upside down.

By then, we will be in the clutches of the IMF like Ghana, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Egypt, and Lebanon.

Inflation in Lebanon is over 250%. Today, bread in that country costs 50 times as much as it did 3 years ago.

That's the equivalent of buying a N500 loaf of bread for N25,000.

All because they failed to manage their economy properly. I hope Mr Tinubu or his advisers learn from what is happening in these countries.

Tinubu needs to declare a debt state of emergency as soon as he gets in and do the following:

1. Temporary ban on salary increases
2. Ban on certain infrastructural projects for 2 years - e.g no new major road construction to be approved. Let's do patching for now
3. Orasanye report or a revised version should be implemented. Many agencies should be abolished or merged
4. Sell off non performing refineries that are still gulping tens of billions annually
5. Get rid of the hundreds of APC hangers-on now swirling around him. If tolerated, these gluttons will be the ruin of this country.

In the mean time:

1. Channel resources into education - elevate university infrastructure, keep agreements made with lecturers, and help our schools produce graduates that can compete on a global level.

2. Increase import duty exponentially on non-essential reckless imports that are destroying the value of the naira. I don't understand why my local supermarket has 4 different types of almond milk. 10 years ago, nobody had heard of almond milk, and we survived. India, Singapore, China etc have these targeted taxes. Nigeria should double - down on targeted high import taxes.

3. Spend on improving efficiency in public service delivery.

A few years ago, registering a company was complicated and in many cases required bribing CAC staff. Today, the process is as smooth as butter because the entire process has been moved online and no more bribery. The efficiency gains are massive. This approach should be adopted across all government departments. It will significantly reduce if not eliminate certain types corruption, at very little cost.

4. Pay down our debt.

5. By the end of year 2, start loosening the purse strings again, but more responsibly than the current govt. Paying down the debt significantly will help to stabilise the Naira, and help Mr Tinubu to start investing in priority infrastructure again. New roads, better schools, better hospitals etc

Instead of immediate salary increases, he should consider removing all those earning N40, 000 or below from paying any income tax. This will help a large portion of struggling salaried people without inflicting as much inflationary pain as reckless salary increases will do.

We need to take a short term pain for long term prosperity. There are no short cuts.

Exit plan is the best option(esp. by depriving her from dependant visa) because, this is just the beginning.

Because bike was banned in Lagos due to some animalistic behaviours and you believed that your brothers were affected, do you want to make it general disaster to the nation?

it is so unfortunate that, this country is moving towards Bermuda triangle in disguise by restricting some zones; would typical Hausa/Fulani guys be passing through this stress of uploading and re- uploading, upgrading and re-upgrading in all agencies military inclusive and still be the majority?
