This is exactly the same thing I’ve been thinking about for a while. It appears like we’ve confused good policy design with good policy outcomes.
Subsidy removal, FX liberalisation, tax reforms and those “hard economic policies” sound good and they appear correct on paper. But these policies assume a functioning safety net, productive capacity that can absorb the shock, and a state that reinvests the savings into the people. Strip those away and you’re not implementing any reform, you’re just transferring pain downward which is what this administration has been doing.
Three years in and the people have not benefited from these policies. Commodity prices up 3–4x, school fees unaffordable but ofc, there is NELFUND lol, real wages destroyed. The “savings” from subsidy removal haven’t visibly returned to citizens in any form.
Good policies without structural follow-through aren’t good policies. They’re just austerity disguised as improvements and we all would be used as collateral damages for the perceived improvement.

Know this:
The average paperback in Nigeria now costs ₦18,000.
With the national minimum wage at ₦70,000, a Nigerian worker must spend 25% of their entire monthly income just to buy one book.
Meanwhile, our 290 public libraries, serving 230 million people, are in dilapidated condition due to underfunding. That’s roughly one library for every 800,000 citizens.
The state has killed public libraries and inflation kills bookshops.
It’s a crime scene.
Guys! we are too quiet about this Sunday Jackson’s issue.
Locked up over 10 years. Sentenced to death.
Only ‘crime’ is self defense. Locking an innocent man while forgiving & ‘rehabilitating’ actual terrorist is insane
Nigerian Government FREE SUNDAY JACKSON #freesundayjackson
This young Nigerian student will spend three weeks in detention for calling the Governor of Niger State “Governor Amuneke” while complaining about insecurity.
This is what tyranny looks like.

Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) has become a toothless bulldog.
The 12mm steel rod has become 9.87mm.
That means the steel rods in our markets are substandard.
