Peter Obi: Subsidy Should Be Domiciled in the Agricultural and Manufacturing Sectors
The subsidy regime in Nigeria emerged amid corruption and criminality. Removing those two factors will give us a clearer picture of whether we actually need subsidies. I believe if we tackle corruption, we might not need subsidies at all. The price of petrol in Nigeria is high. We should ensure a regular supply of crude to local refineries so they can refine it for domestic consumption. That will invariably reduce the cost of fuel. I will allocate subsidies to productive sectors. What we have today is subsidy induced hardship with no gains to justify its removal

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) and his associates are, as expected, spreading stories and documents to cloud the matter. For example, the letter below is alleged by President Tinubu’s associate (@renoomokri) to be from the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria (@USinNigeria). If authentic, given the @FBI’s recent admission, it raises questions about whether a U.S. agency provided inaccurate information.
But a close examination raises questions about the letter’s authenticity. It contains glaring spelling and grammatical errors: “czheck” instead of “check,” “maitatins” instead of “maintains,” and “it’s territories” instead of “its territories.” It also states, “The result of the checks were negative,” instead of “The result of the checks was negative,” uses the incomplete phrase “nor information of your department,” and says “contact me direct” instead of “contact me directly.”
Given these errors, we find it very difficult to accept this letter as authentic without independent verification. Dear President #Tinubu and associates: if this document is not authentic, presenting a fabricated document as an official U.S. government communication is a serious matter and may have legal consequences under U.S. law.

🇨🇳🇳🇬 A Chinese travel creator was trying local food at a market in Nigeria when a group of men stopped him and demanded money.
When he asked why, their explanation was basically: "we’re Nigerian, you’re not, so we can take money from you."
Over roughly 10 kilometers, he says he passed more than 20 checkpoints and was asked for money again and again.
His final travel review?
“Don’t come to Nigeria.”

Ah! They would have put him in a dungeon and subsequently ask for his head on a platter.
Are we supposed to be quiet about this? Well, I believe we will be. No be we again?

Two Presidential candidates.
• One is begging you to dig out/release any dirt you have on him.. & he’ll stop campaigning.
• The other is begging you not to.
But full grown adults want to convince you that the one with everything to hide is better than the one with nothing to hide.
