One day you'll realize the amount of potential you had, and how it was all wasted away because you chose comfort over effort, and there will be no one to blame but yourself. That regret will haunt you forever.
The obsession of this administration with putting a burden on the populace is becoming legendary and continues to reveal its apparent disconnect with the people and the suffering.
The International Passport fees in Nigeria have now skyrocketed to ₦100,000 for a 32-page booklet and ₦200,000 for 64 pages. This is the third increase in just two years.
In a country where the new minimum wage is only ₦70,000, the cost of a single passport now exceeds a worker’s monthly salary, probably the only country in the world to achieve this feat.
Instead of making life easier, this government keeps shifting the burden onto ordinary Nigerians. It is alarming that the price of the international passport is higher than what workers earn in a month. -PO
The Supreme Court decided that the statutory allocations due to Rivers State should be withheld because the Governor did not recognize the House of Assembly, and did not present the budget before the said House for passage.
President Tinubu claims that Governor Fubara, who had written to the same House to enable him present the budget, has failed to obey the Supreme Court.
The same Tinubu went ahead to appoint a Sole Administrator after suspending the Governor, Deputy Governor, and the members of the House of Assembly.
Now we are reading that the withheld allocations will be released to the Sole Administrator who is nothing but an impostor concocted capriciously by the President.
So, the allocations were withheld because there was no House of Assembly or the Governor did not recognize the House, and did not present the budget, but you have now suspended both the Governor and the House and proceeded to appoint a Sole Administrator and handed over allocations to the Sole Administrator.
How do you reconcile this?
If it was right for the allocations to be withheld because there was no House of Assembly or due to the governor’s refusal to present budget before the House, on what legal, moral, or logical basis are you releasing the same allocations to a Sole Administrator after suspending the Governor and the House?
Is the Sole Administrator a constitutional substitute for the House of Assembly and the Governor?
Is this shenanigans all about stealing the allocations of Rivers State? Is that what this impunity is all about?
Which budget will the Sole Administrator now use to appropriate the allocations of Rivers State?
State funds and allocations cannot be appropriated without being enabled by an Appropriation Law. Sections 120 and 121 of the Constitution are very explicit on this.
Tinubu has defecated on the Constitution of Nigeria.
Has Tinubu been a terrible president? Let us again examine the facts? He has simply been taking the country backward and hardly forward in virtually every sector
