Blame the politics, constitution and not the man. Disu climbed over Mba recently.

[Akinwumi @Big_marvis]

When a man joins the Customs Service in 1979 and, just nine years later, becomes Acting Comptroller-General, rising above officers who had spent 20, 30 or even 34 years in the Service, you have to ask serious questions about how that progression happened.

And when that person reportedly did not have a university degree, but rose that quickly, the story becomes even more remarkable.

Some people spend their entire lives benefiting from shortcuts, then develop a permanent sense of entitlement.

But never envy people who cut corners to get ahead.

They may eat the fruits before the work even begins, but eventually, the bill comes due.

Never envy corner cutters.

[Sani Suleman Isah @sani_suleman_]

The subsidy was removed. But did the cost disappear?

Nigeria removed the petrol subsidy in 2023.

The government stopped paying the large subsidy that had kept petrol prices artificially low.

But for many Nigerians, the economic burden did not disappear.

It moved.

It moved from the government's subsidy bill to the household budget.

When petrol becomes more expensive, the effect does not stop at the filling station.

A farmer pays more to transport fertiliser, seeds and harvested crops.

A trader pays more to move goods from the village to the market.

A block maker pays more for fuel, cement and transportation.

A landlord faces higher construction and maintenance costs.

And eventually, the tenant receives the bill through higher rent.

There is also the cost of electricity.

Businesses that depend on generators face higher operating costs when petrol becomes more expensive. Those costs can eventually find their way into the prices of bread, food, transport, repairs and other services.

This is how an increase in the price of one product can travel through an entire economy.

A bag of rice does not have a petrol engine.

But the truck carrying the rice does.

A farmer may not buy petrol every day.

But the tractor, motorcycle, irrigation pump or vehicle moving the farm produce may depend on fuel.

That is why the real question is not simply:

"Was the subsidy removed?"

The bigger question is:

"Who is now carrying the cost?"

The World Bank has documented that the removal of the petrol subsidy caused a sharp increase in petrol prices and added short-term pressure to inflation and household welfare.

So, in the Nigerian household, the subsidy may have disappeared from the government budget.

But its economic consequences can still be found in the prices of transportation, food, farm inputs, electricity generation, building materials and rent.

In simple terms:

The subsidy was removed from petrol.

But the cost travelled through the economy.

And Nigerians are meeting that cost in different ways — often at the market, the filling station and the landlord's office.

How can you be this angry, do you see the man making the speech? Have mercy, he need to be voted out so that he can go and have some rest while we fix our problems

[MaziTundeEdnutfan @originalproflle]

“Mr. President in the entirety of your speech, you completely left out the ince$$ant killings and k!dnappings ravaging our nation…Making mention of insecurity just once.

This begs the fundamental question: where exactly do our priority stand? When the people have 78 of their innocent children in captivity for 139 days today…..”

["Atiku Is For The People" @Atiku4ThePeople]

#ATIKU2027: BREAKING!!! Tension Everywhere, As Millions Of Nigerians Demand "Death Penalty" As The New Punishment For All Corrupt APC Politicians; Challenge President Bola Tinubu To Immediately Amend And Implement The Law Before The 2027 General Elections, To Prove To The World That He Is Truly For The Fight Against Any Form Of Corruption By The Top Government Officials In His Cabinet

The recent death sentences handed down to four kidnap convicts by the Edo State Special Criminal Court, have triggered a wider national debate, with many Nigerians now asking why the same severity should not apply to Politicians accused of stealing public funds under the President Bola Tinubu administration.

In a Channels Television report shared online, the Court sentenced four Defendants, Marvellous Isaac, Wisdom Michael, Rufus Emete Michael and Gift Raphael, to death, for kidnapping and other related criminal offences.

The verdict, described as the first Special-Court judgement of its kind in Edo State, was welcomed by Nigerians who believe that kidnapping has inflicted severe pain on families and Communities. However, the reaction on the social media quickly moved beyond the Courtroom and that particular case.

Many Commenters went on to demanded the death penalty for “APC Politicians” accused of corruption also; reflecting the increasingly partisan nature of public anger.

Some of the comments as seen by "Atiku Is For The People" global movement, are as follows:

"Let there be capital punishment for corrupt Politicians and Leaders as well."

"I wish the same type of penalty is given to Nigerian Politicians."

"The same punishment should also be awarded for corruption and you will see Nigeria become great."

"If this same type of punishment will be given to our Leaders for killing Nigerians, through their stealing of public funds, it will be very very commendable'"

"Thieving Politicians should get a similar sentence."

“Nigerians are angry, because we see kidnappers being sentenced, while corruption cases involving powerful APC Politicians take years without conclusion. The Law must not be strong only against poor people.”

The anger expressed by the Commenters is rooted partly in the public perception that politically influential figures often escape swift accountability, especially when they belong to the ruling party.

The comments reflect a growing public frustration with what many citizens perceive as selective justice. While suspected kidnappers are swiftly condemned when convicted, corruption cases involving powerful Politicians, often appear to drag on for years, with some Defendants securing bail, prolonged adjournments, or eventual settlements, or not even arraigned at all.

For many Nigerians, corruption is not merely an issue of missing funds or inflated contracts. It is viewed as a direct threat to the ordinary Nigerian life.

When money allocated for Medical equipment is allegedly diverted, patients die in the Hospitals, without adequate care. When Security funds are mismanaged, Communities remain vulnerable to attacks. When Road projects are abandoned after public money has been paid, accidents and economic losses follow.

This explains why Nigerians are now describing grand corruption as a form of “mass murder”, and argue that its consequences should be more extensive than those of a single criminal act.
