Nigeria’s problems are fundamentals. No man can lead Nigeria with these fundamentals in place.
1. He came and removed petroleum subsidy. The previous government was borrowing to fund it, and the nation was at the brisk of collapse because we were not only subsidizing for Nigerians but for the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
Today, after subsidy removal our fuel import is down by 51.4%. Subsidy cabals are not happy with him.
2. He floated the Naira so that market forces would determine the actual rate. Currency racketeers are not happy with him. This alone comes with some harsh economic realities.
3. Flying from next door Benin Republic to Europe or America used to be half the price the same airlines charge in Nigeria, this is because those airlines pay “royalties” to vested interests, especially those that helped to kill Nigerian Airways for these airlines to dominate our sky.
He brought in Airpeace against all odds to crash the price and these untouchable airlines were forced to crash their fares. Those vested interests who fed from the fare excesses in Nigeria, will not like him.
4. He dares almighty governors, to give you local government autonomy, a man who doesn’t have the people at heart will never do that.
5. The war in Ukraine has disrupted the supply chain of wheat and fertilizers. This and the current harsh global economic realities of which Nigeria is not in isolation, are hitting us hard and Nigeria is far better compared to other African countries.
When UAE was using oil money to build Dubai, your fathers and uncles were burning down Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Maiduguri etc. Today, you want Nigeria to be like “Dubai”.
When Russia was laying petroleum pipelines to dominate Europe’s oil markets, your fathers and uncles were bursting pipelines across Nigeria. Their actions crippled NNPC depots across Nigeria. This is how tankers took over our roads.
Your fathers killed our refineries, destroyed our textile industries, ate our national airline to extintion, and looted our treasury over four decades that took life out of our capability to produce. Today you are shouting Tinubu.
Nigeria’s problem didn’t start overnight and no “ariaria overnight” approach can take us out.
He gave your governor money and even more money, but you choose to face him.
The cost of goods is alarming, and it is your right to peaceful protest, to voice your frustrations. But when “your peaceful protest” is being hijacked by elements loyal to either oil cabals, currency racketeers, political interests, or any other vested interests, we may have no option than to storm the street in a counter-protest, because so far, the man is taking life out of fundamentalideals that have clogged our wheel of progress over several decades.
May President Tinubu Succeed!
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!
