Tinubu give Nigerians shocker on the first day and him say his name suppose enter Guinness book, I don't know for what maybe na for inflicting more pain to people. I never see seriousness in them and even the way the present present matter, him just like to joke about everything and to try to make people laugh even from primaries and campaign season. They have to be serious.

Agreed that the top 3 candidates for that election talk say dem go also remove subsidy but if dem also do am the way wey Tinubu take go about am, dem too go fail. How can the government rely on palliative dey run system and people no still dey get am. The refinery wey dem promise say e go work for December, this na three months running. This government electricity situation don become the worst and if no electricity how production go function. The federal government never show any leadership prowess and hopes are being dashed. It is just that many states government are same corrupt people otherwise dem for begin run deir own independent power project like governor Alex Otti don start for Abia then federal government go know say if states dey run independent infrastructure, the federal no go fit stand well again.

My brother as na naija board we dy, I just feel say no need to dy speak too much grammar, because as e be so, the best way to express my feelings na in our pigin language.

I just dy vex for how things dy shele for we country, how can this government remove subsidy with any plan of we getting our own functioning refinary? Ok all the money wey dem don save since Dem no pay oil subsidy, where all the money dy? Why e dy really vex me is that, this subsidy removal affect the price of goods even more than the dollar increase, because I dy sure say, buying of electronic no be everybody problem, but when it comes to food wey we go eat,  na every body concern.

Other countries dy complain of natural disasters, like earthquake, flood, but our own natural disasters na our politicians, bad government, them dy complain of the previous administration, Dem been no see am before Dem go for that office? Na people wey vote this particular administration nai I blame, at least, everybody dy feel am, even people wey vote am self, no body is exempted.

I have seen that for the past 10 years, that successive government always portion blames or economic woes on the previous administration or the immediate past government.
A very good example is this current administration that has put Nigerians into untold hardship.

The previous administration had their own negative side that we all knew, especially when they started with the blame game on former president Goodluck Jonathan.
However this current administration seem to me as one of the visionless I've seen.
The removal of fuel subsidy alone was visionless for me at moment, that's removals sent a shocker to the already fragile economic system of the country.  First you don't remove fuel subsidy when you don't have functioning refineries in place, because as we speak international marketers are still bringing fuel and selling at their own prices, that is why we see different price across the country, however it has been reported that the federal government still pays subsidy behind the scene to them.

That shocker immediately increased the prices of goods and services, because transportation of goods and services has increased, a trailer driver was once saying, to bring trailer load of yam from the north to south cost him not less than 2.5 million naira to buy  petrol, something he was buying for 700 thousand. The increase in transportation has also snowballed into a high level of inflation that people were not ready for.

In all of these government didn't see that they don't have electricity to backup some of these policies that they are bringing onboard especially for those people that are into small scale medium enterprises, because a stable electricity will help businesses cut operational cost, however we don't have steady power supply.

The government claim that they've saved a lot of money since they started the removal of fuel subsidy. So my question is, how has that money been saved so far affected the average Nigerian has who been on the receiving end of these policies?
