While we are all angry at the IMF and World Bank for being the Primary drivers of the Current Cost of living Crisis in Nigeria.
Do well to remember that the IMF and World Bank are American Institutions and all American Institutions exist to make your Life miserable
Insecurity started during GeJ era to disrupt his government…
But at the end if anyone wants to curb it would do that …
A government that wants security and loves the lives of its citizens…this would have stopped
Did insecurity start under this government? Can you put your hand on the Bible and say that President Bola Tinubu is not doing enough for security? He is doing enough. He promised, but he didn't say he would perform magic.

2 important dots to connect:
1986: IMF Structural Adjustment Program in Nigeria mandates Babangida to liberalise Nigeria's news media and information space. Foreign ownership and funding of mass media is permitted in Nigeria for the first time.
2026: 40 years later, after 2 generations of post-SAP Nigerians have been marinated in American-funded news, "education" and entertainment media for their entire lives, most Nigerians now believe they are Deputy Americans, and hold their primary allegiance to a country they have never been to on another continent. They now support openly imperialist actions by the US and would happily grind their own mothers into paste if the US president tells them to.
Bonus point: The US government owns 17% of the IMF, which requires an 85% voting majority to take decisions. This means the US holds veto power in the IMF, and the IMF is functionally an extension of US foreign policy.
Just in case people are not aware, the removal of electricity subsidies in Nigeria, which has caused the astronomical rise in electricity prices, was directly dictated by the World Bank's to both the previous and the present Nigerian government.
Whether you think electricity should even be subsidised or not (I personally think it should be, because there is literally no serious country in the world where it isn't), what should worry you more than the removal alone is the fact that a small group of unelected, anonymous white men in Washington DC acting on behalf of a foreign state interest (the US govt is the World Bank's biggest shareholder) have the power to determine how much you should pay for your electricity in Nigeria.
The electricity is generated in Nigeria, using Nigerian energy sources and Nigerian labour, and is distributed and transmitted using Nigerian infrastructure, but one group of oyibos you have never heard of who are sitting on another continent somehow have the power to instruct your government to raise your energy bills and complicate your life.
They even offer your government loans that it doesn't need and isn't qualified for, then they make disbursement conditional on increasing your electricity bill by removing the same electricity subsidy that they have in their own country, because Africa's largest population and industrial cluster must not be allowed to have sustained and reliable access to cheap power. If it gets that, the only possible result is industrialisation - which means no more free natural resources and cheap labour to support the existing unipolar economic order.
This is why geopolitics concerns you in Agege. It literally determines the price of your Ikeja Electric units.
