Nigeria removed subsidy like a man removing his roof because thieves were stealing the zinc.
Now rain is beating everybody.
Fuel is expensive. Power is expensive. Transport is expensive. Production is expensive. Life is expensive.
The problem was never subsidy tbh. The problem was and has always been corruption.
Bring back smart subsidies for power, transport and production. Target them. Audit them. And most importantly, ensure bad actors end up in Jail.
You cannot tax, tariff and reform a poor country into prosperity.
First you need to make it cheaper for Nigerians to build, produce and grow.
Then talk to us about economic stability.
You may find this funny, stupid, disappointing, or repulsive, but I find it interesting.
Because there is an important lesson in there:
You can never trust humans to always behave appropriately. And so, you owe it to yourself to develop a disposition that reinforces boundaries and makes consequences clear - with friends, family, or anyone close enough to cause you instability.
Trust people, but don't build your stability on the assumption that they will always behave well.

It's an Adidas advert and they are flexing having the greatest player of all time as their global ambassador. Not Messi's fault Nike can't do the same for Ronaldo 😂
when I was doing my BSc in political science, I used to glaze over revolution as the only solution to Nigeria’s problems.
but after my several touch-points with reality, I have come to a higher realization that in our bid to sail towards a place of Eldorado, if we by chance toe the line of revolution, people like you and I would first be killed by this kind of people. if that happens, we have lost the revolution. it will just swiftly turn to a looting exercise with no direction.
There's no way this fellow is normal.
He left Spain 5 years ago, is the only one on the list with less than 180 games - he's still top of the list.
Mazi Festus "I'm Back" Ndukka a.k.a 'he conquered spain' is not even top 10.
Barcelona sold Luis Suárez to Atlético Madrid for just €7 million, only for him to help them win La Liga.
Barcelona also gave them David Villa, who helped them reach the Champions League final and win the league.
Then there was Memphis Depay, whom Barcelona allowed to join them for free, and Griezmann, whom we signed from Atlético for €130 million only to send him back for around €20 million.
But when we tried to sign Julián Álvarez, they made a huge fuss, insulted Barcelona, mocked the club, and today they even filed a complaint with FIFA. What an ungrateful club.
Sadly, we don’t have real men running this board. It’s as if we’re a charity that the rest of Europe shops from whenever they please, signing our players for laughable fees or taking them on loan while we continue paying part of their wages. This has to be one of the worst Barcelona boards in the club’s history.
Thank you, La Masia. Thank you, Cruyff. Thank you, Messi.
