There is no accountability and transparency on the part of the government.
The average nigerian is being exploited at every level of the government and Nigerian politicians will tell you to "endure"
As Mr Dele Farotimi will say "Let us keep pretending that we're in a democracy"
Let me say something.
I agree that the subsidy was a cancer, and I agree with President Tinubu for removing it.
But one thing the APC government has constantly failed to do is show prudence, empathy, accountability, and probity.
Nigerians cannot be suffering and living in fear of their safety daily, and we see elected government officials living in opulence and brazingly weaponizing poverty.
It's like adding salt to our injuries.
From how they display wealth, to even the convoy of elected officials and their arrogance, it shows that they do not see themselves as public servants.
Rather, they see themselves as messiahs who are not answerable to the citizens and can do anything and get away with it.
We have seen several politicians who have fraudulent cases to answer being welcomed to APC in particular, and their cases are no longer being pursued or prosecuted.
If you want Nigerians to endure the suffering, the least you can do as a government is to ensure the safety of their lives of almost non-existent properties.
And it must be reflected in the conduct and utterances of political office holders.
This is where the leaders get it wrong:
Displaying questionable wealth in the midst of poverty, and showing a lack of empathy.
Therefore, Nigerians have the right to be angry. And Nigerians have the right to reject a failed government.
You cannot lead us by force, and you must show readiness to conduct free and fair elections and commit to handing over power should you lose in that election.
Just as GEJ did.
The Nigerian presidency is not Tinubu's birthright, neither is APC the only political party, nor are their supporters the privileged citizens.
I am a legitimate taxpayer and a law-abiding citizen, and so are millions of us. And I fear for the future of my children.
End.
A Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso win in 2027 will render many political jobbers penniless.
It is not in their interest that Ok wins or Nigeria actually works for everyone.
Nigeria has 371,800 police officers.
Over 100,000 of them are not policing Nigeria. They are opening car doors and carrying bags for politicians.
The actual police strength available to 236 million ordinary Nigerians is 270,000. One officer per 876 citizens.
The UN recommended ratio is one per 400.
Nigeria is not just short of police officers but also Nigeria is short of a government that thinks your safety matters as much as a senator’s comfort.
Your taxes fund bodyguards protecting people who have never protected you.
I have been here since 2020, and I did not say much when it comes to politics or leadership.
But this Tinubu's administration has forced me to deviate sometimes.
It's really bad.
Very very bad.
No sane mind with good conscience should support the APC government.
End.
Children are in the bushes.
Poverty is hitting almost every home hard.
People are being kidnapped almost on a daily.
But a politician and "mother of the nation" is distributing new cars and busses to her political associates in a celebratory style.
Lack of empathy.
End.
What this means is that the average cooking gas of 12.5kg would cost about N30k.
Tell me..
Is it only non-APC supporters that would suffer it?
But as usual, they'll still come to defend Tinubu.
Slaves, loving their chains.
End.
Bought 4 liters for 7k
12.5kg gas for 27.5k
And 44 units of nepa for 10k
@officialABAT, may your suffering be a thousand folds for what you're making us go through. Wallahi 1kobo i no forgive.
One of man's deepest desires is not to be a burden on anyone and to earn his way. Burdening others brings him shame. He aspires to self-sufficiency so he can be one that gives rather than takes. He does not pursue independence out of vanity, he covets self-reliance out of honour.
“To My Fellow Nigerian Soldiers And Personnel, Please Do Not Shoot Or Open Teargas On Peaceful Protesters. Let Them Exercise Their Civil Rights. Even If An Order Is Given, Still Make Use Of Your Brain. How Will You Feel, Or Even Sleep, If Your Children, Wife, Mother, Father, Or Relative Is One Of The Kidnap Victims In The Bush?”. ~ Nigerian Soldier Warns
Ghana also had a Fulani herdsmen problem until they banned open grazing btw.
It just took one executive order.
But sure, let us “play politics” our way into terror and famine.
It’s only a matter of time.
Many of you want great relationships but all you want to do is take.
There’s nothing great that comes out of always taking. Even friendships but you want life long partners while being a leach.
If you like stay online and let people deceive you that you are some sort of prize that no one can get tired of.
