@ParallelFacts Look clearly at the "Higher Education" section. There is no YEAR stated to show the graduation dates. This explains the 40years age mystery. Or what do you think? 🤔
@aproko_doctor The country is not working. The entire system is broken. Quality of life is almost nonexistent. If we talk now, dem go say we dey demarket Nigeria 🇳🇬 . Imagine there is no functional MRI in Kwara State 😡, and I'm sure in several states, too. Terrible!🚶♀️➡️
APC reality scorecard. The prices say it all. Nigerians are poorer than ever before, but are they angry enough? NO! They are rather distracted by irrelevant issues.
10Years of APC: a quick scorecard.
Here are the prices of food 10years ago versus the prices of food today.
Egg – ₦42.03 | ₦252.79
(1 egg today = 6 eggs in 2016)
Evaporated milk (Peak, 170g)
– ₦154.47 | ₦1,058.15
(1 tin today = 7 tins in 2016)
White garri (1 kg) – ₦191.02 | ₦846.69
(1 kg today = 4.4 kg in 2016)
Yam tuber (1 kg) – ₦202.89 | ₦2,023.83
(1 kg today = 10 kg in 2016)
White beans (1 kg) – ₦295.85 | ₦1,587.82
(1 kg today = 5.4 kg in 2016)
Bread (sliced) – ₦305.27 | ₦1,675.51
(1 loaf today = 5.5 loaves in 2016)
Rice (Long-Grained, Imported, 1 kg) – ₦388.79 | ₦2,255.28
(1 kg today = 5.8 kg in 2016)
Most foods now cost 4× to 10× their pries 10years ago. There is nobody who has a salary increase of 10x today what they earned for doing the same job- yet prices of basic foods have gone up 10x what they were.

@ahilekashami, your write-up sums it all. I wish it could be shown on billboards across the country. The death penalty for corrupt public officials is STRONGLY supported.
REASONS WHY NIGERIANS DO NOT WANT TO PAY MORE TAX.
Since before 1999, after the return to democracy, Nigerians have been paying taxes. Salary earners pay tax. Business owners pay tax. There is VAT on many of the things we buy. We pay taxes and charges during transactions. Farmers pay tax. Importers pay tax.
Since oil was discovered in Nigeria, more than 50 percent of the total revenue from crude oil sales and taxes paid by Nigerian citizens has gone into the pockets of politicians and public servants through corruption.
This alone is enough to make anyone unwilling to pay any new tax to the Nigerian government or to a system that has allowed such monumental theft to occur over the years.
For decades, Nigerians have complained that the cost of running government and funding useless ventures is too high.
Nigerians have complained about the hyper-luxury lifestyles of politicians and public servants. They have asked why it is necessary to spend billions of naira on pilgrimages.
Why it is necessary to spend billions every year on exotic cars for politicians.
Why it is necessary to spend billions rehabilitating terrorists.
Why it is necessary to spend billions maintaining fleets of private jets.
Despite all the money our government has borrowed, taxed, and earned from crude oil, we have not been able to solve even one basic problem in Nigeria.
We have not solved electricity.
We have not solved healthcare.
We have not solved access roads and streets.
We have not solved insecurity.
We have not solved basic education.
We have not solved anything.
The only thing we keep doing is spending money on everything except the things our people actually need.
After every administration leaves office, massive corruption is discovered. Billions of naira are “recovered,” and the same criminals are allowed to walk free and even return to hold bigger political positions.
In many cases, the recovered money is stolen again.
Studies and analyses show that Nigerian politicians and appointees have stolen upwards of 600 billion US dollars from 1999 till date.
The real figure is likely much higher, because not everyone was accused or prosecuted. Many people stole and got away with it.
This figure does not include crude oil theft, corruption in the NNPC, or illegal mining across Nigeria.
Six hundred billion US dollars in naira is roughly 850 trillion naira.
Some people believe the real figure may be ten times higher.
Another reason it is difficult for Nigerians to pay more tax is that many of those who stole these funds are still in government today.
Our system rewards criminals who steal public funds and the commonwealth.
So who, in their right mind, will continue to pay tax into such a system?
A basic prerequisite for Nigerians to willingly pay tax again would be the passage of a death Penalty law for corruption, drastic reduction in the size of government, and the elimination of all unnecessary spending.
Until then, Nigerians are justified in rejecting any new tax.
