Nothing dey worry me sir. There is hardship all over the world at this time. Interests rate are at 20 years high in USA,UK, Japan,Australia, Canada.
Automatically global circulation of money is stagnated, Government was carrying Nigerians on their back like a small baby. So Nigerians did not realize that the journey is far. Now Nigerians need to come down from the back of the governement and walk with their 2 legs. Its going to be awhile before we get used to it. Rough times ahead. The whole world economics is more connected than you think.
But someone has to be able to communicate these to the average Nigerians. I hope you know for the past 8 years, APC has been fumbling and the excuse has been that it's global. The simple question is if you're implying the rest of the world have been battling bad economy for the past 8 years? 2 Likes |

I have said it time and again. This current government does not have a good Minister of Information.
This current administration is well dressed but its standing in a dark room. (A lot of people cant see the nice clothes if the Minister doesn't turn on the light)
Minister of Information needs to highlight the journey and sell Hope to Nigerians.
Lai Mohammed defended Buhari's regime to the last at the expense of his reputation and clashed with Nigerians many times.
The current minister takes a Hands off approach. He needs to wake up and start engaging Nigerians, He needs to bring information before questions are asked, He needs to engage Nigerians so much they are tired of asking questions, He needs to get bloggers and media to tweet and post the good things done, those in the pipeline and those anticipated in the future.
Nigerians will eventually call the Minister a liar, but that comes with the Job. You cannot please everybody.
He has one of the most difficult jobs that can make or destroy this administration. Tell your Minister to wake up, the world is now digital. Go to Nollywood, cast stories that will depict what has been happening in Nigeria and changes made for better results, let the citizens know why there will be pain before things improve.
And lai was busy lying to Nigerians. It is better to keep quiet than to be lying to people in the name of defending the govt. The gut in charge now has sa8d since he took over that he won't engage in needless propaganda. The truth is Tinubu govt offers no hope. 1 Like |

Good question. If the government should create more jobs and also raise interest rates. The prices of goods will eventually come down. If the maize farmer doesn't see buyers he will be forced to lower the cost.

You have to defend the administration. They have a lot of god policies in the pipelines, some of these policies might take 2 years before we even see the benefit. In the mean time someone has to go out and explain to the people that, the president knows what he is doing. Its a hard job, dont get me wrong. But it needs to be done. If Lai Mohammed did a good job, the Buhari administration won't have the high level of negative perception it has presently even from members of APC. I listened to the present minister and the SA on media when they took office and they emphasised a shift away from propaganda and gaslighting in relating with the public. If Lai did a good job, his method won't be roundly condemned by his successors. Saying the so-called good policies will take 2 years before having benefits is an admission that the govt is not sure of the outcome of the policies. Don't forget that the govt itself through its officials claimed naira will stabilise and find its "true value" latest last quarter of last year. Same govt claimed PH refinery will be working by December. Same govt claimed CNG buses will be available by December. These are just examples of missed deadlines I'm giving you. So if a govt that's had so many missed deadlines comes out to announce another one as you're doing now, it's going to have less trust in the bank with the citizens who will see it as a lying govt. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I have said it time and again. This current government does not have a good Minister of Information.
This current administration is well dressed but its standing in a dark room. (A lot of people cant see the nice clothes if the Minister doesn't turn on the light)
Minister of Information needs to highlight the journey and sell Hope to Nigerians.
Lai Mohammed defended Buhari's regime to the last at the expense of his reputation and clashed with Nigerians many times.
The current minister takes a Hands off approach. He needs to wake up and start engaging Nigerians, He needs to bring information before questions are asked, He needs to engage Nigerians so much they are tired of asking questions, He needs to get bloggers and media to tweet and post the good things done, those in the pipeline and those anticipated in the future.
Nigerians will eventually call the Minister a liar, but that comes with the Job. You cannot please everybody.
He has one of the most difficult jobs that can make or destroy this administration. Tell your Minister to wake up, the world is now digital. Go to Nollywood, cast stories that will depict what has been happening in Nigeria and changes made for better results, let the citizens know why there will be pain before things improve.
Very well said my brother, some of the things the information minister should be talking about is in this thread below, check it out https://www.nairaland.com/8008003/tinubu-builds-country-dreams-nigerians#128586217 |
