Why are we always quick to point fingers?

Obasanjo should remember that the issues with fuel subsidy didn't start today. Tinubu is trying to navigate through a maze of challenges left behind by previous administrations.

Instead of casting blame, let’s support the efforts to find a sustainable solution. We need to look at the bigger picture and give room for progress, no matter how slow it may seem.

What’s important is that we keep pushing for better policies and hold the government accountable, not just criticize from the sidelines.

trutharena:
Obasanjo is just trying to stir the pot. Nigerians are moving forward with President TINUBU’s vision for a better economy!

Please, stop defending the indefensible. It doesn't make any sense at all.
Did you understand what Obj said?
He was a 2Term civilian president and once a military head of state. So he knows what you don't know. Tinubu is the cause of the hardship we are facing now, by his thoughtless decision and statement on fuel subsidy removal, when he hasn't even sat on the chair even for a minute.
Obj, is saying, the haste to remove, caused inflation that has brought it back again.
Can't you understand that the fuel subsidy is back again, despite Tinubu's denial that it has been removed and can't be restored again. Obj knows what he is saying please.

I am simply telling you the reality. You cannot spend what you do not have. If you are borrowing g to survive and collecting g urgent 20k from friends and family, eventually you will get to a point where friends and family don’t answer you and you have to adjust your life style or taking a demeaning job or do the unthinkable to survive.


That’s the reality of Nigeria. Wes re now faced with adjusting our lifestyle. Like it or not IMF or no IMF. There is no money to fund schools roads etc as well as fund forex Electricity and fuel subsidies. How we got here is immaterial, this is where we are!

Do you people understand what it means when they say we were spending 97% of all government revenue to pay our loans? Imagine if you had borrowed so much or lived a false life to the point that when you get your salary, 97% of it is used to pay your loans!! It means despite having a job you probably can’t even afford to eat!! Tinubu’s in 1 year has reduced that to 64%. That is why government workers can even receive salaries talk less increase in wages, that is why we can still embark on projects.

I really do t think you people u derstand that government finances had come to a stand still as at May 29. Nobody was answering our requests for urgent 20k anymore!!!

DeepSight:


Maybe you dont know IMF has been bringing these same policies since the 80s.

I said name one country where it has brought prosperity.

Stop speaking grammar.

Name JUST one.

Fuel Subsidy Is Back – Obasanjo Faults President Tinubu’s Claim On Removal Of Fuel Subsidy

casualobserver:


None! now I hope you can also answer me. how do you expect to get the money to pay for subsidies considering 97% of our income is earmarked to debt payments?

I have answered you, now I hope you can answer me.

sIfioksq:
Obasanjo should focus on his own legacy instead of critiquing Tinubu. The man is trying to make tough decisions for the country. Let's give him the chance to steer the ship without all these distractions.

Simple! Everyone knows the bloated subsidy became a problem because of the stupendous corruption around it. Something that spiked from under 300 billion with GEJ to 7 trillion with PMB is a joke taken too far. Attack the corruption and NOT the poor.

Why is it till today he has not said pim about investigating subsiddy theives but he has a hard on to make the poor suffer for it right?

Secondly, you also do it in phases because that 200 per cent increase in the price of PMS in one day was a global record and NO ONE does that unless you are planning to mass murder your population through hunger. NO ONE.

On top of that, you immediately rush to devalue the naira and cause hyper-inflation. Whats that BS?

Tinubu 5, Nigeria 0.

casualobserver:


you have not answered the question and i dont expect you to because clearly you are ignorant or you have no understanding of the subject matter.

97% pf youir income is earmarked for debt servicing, meaning you have only 3% left which at best is $1b. how do you fund the government pay salaries, build roads, fund schools and hospitals etc and pay for a subsidy regime that will cost you at least $6b a year? let us even say $3b of the $6B is subsidy corruption, how do you tale $1b pay salaries, build schools, build roads, pay police, fund the army and then pay subsidy of $3b with this same $1b?

you have not answered o

oga this thing is above your pay grade!!

I suppose you think we should continue to borrow to pay subsidies? i suppose you think it is a good idea to continue to subsidize the wealthy to send their children abroad and banks workers to round trip the dollar?

Just answer this one question: considering 97% of all our revenue was earmarked for debt servicing, considering that a significant portion of our future crude production had been collected in advance by the Buhari regime and spent, how do you propose we pay for the subsidy on petrol from the 3% left? dont forget 3% is at best $1b and subsidy was running on $6-10B a year? dont forget it is from this 3% (less than $1b) we will pay salaries of government workers, build roads, fund our schools and hospitals.

just answer this one question please....i eagerly await your response!
