The problem is, we have been seeing the same type of post like OP's post above since...well Nigeria was a country.

And at the end, someone is going to tell us that if we voted for Peter Obi, by now, fuel would be costing N100 a liter, food would be so cheap that rice would cost N200 a 10kg bag, and minimum wage would be N200000 and a dollar would be N10.

The reason why we are broke, and have been for decades...is simple. We rely on oil. Oil prices have to be above 100 dollars a barrel for us to earn enough cash to pay for all we want...and even then, it might not be enough. Most of the time, oil prices are too low to sustain us, so we take loans. Then add the corruption looting and stealing, and that small money looks less.

The way forward means that the government taxes every taxable Nigerian, removes subsides on power and petrol totally so that investment and money would flow in, and savings result...and the investment can be taxed, and Nigeria goes from being a oil dependent nation to being an industrial nation.

The problem with my above comment is that it involves more hardship.

South Korea is a country that went from being poor and broke that it was behind Senegal in 1960, to being super rich today on the back of people who were willing to work long hours to make sure it worked. Doing the 3 d's work...dirty, dangerous and difficult. Now today, SK is a rich nation, but the generation that did the hard work are mostly poor, and suffering.

Nigerians don't want to do suffering. We suffer too much as it is, so any one who comes and says we must suffer more is a joker. So, government spend more on subsides, more on freebies, more on nice things....and at the end of the day, we get into more debt...because we are paying for this on money that on a good day can sustain a nation of 10 million people.

And the desire for easy life manifests in secessionism...after all when we get Biafra, we would get all the oil money and live a life of riches and prosperity on oil money, while the rest of the country can go rely on groundnuts and cocoa and cotton. (Yeah, like that worked....cotton and cocoa countries are the World Bank's biggest customers...if you knows what i mean).

Anyway, the harsh truth is simple. We do the 3D work needed to get Nigeria rich, we stop pretending we are rich, we stop defending PDP and APC , and we all work hard.

But since we want to chop oil money...who cares.

Hunger is needed to reset the brains of many Nigerians.

Food will always win over tribe and religion.

Those voting to deal with the other group will have their brains rewired by hunger.

Soon touts will start breaking into their homes to steal pot of soup.

No.

Tinubu and Buhari and their friends in the PDP are one and the same.

Never ever voted for them,never will.
