Afrigather Nigerians could be wise to not evaluate Tinubu to the Almighty God in debating Subsidy choice.
On Subsidy Politics don’t evaluate the brand new Tinubu’s Administration to God Almighty to whom nothing is inconceivable however evaluate the President to his friends in West Africa or different nations of the World together with America and China the 2 main Superpowers at this time…..CONTINUE READING
Most human beings, with out exception, everywhere in the world would moderately not be coping with magician Houdini or Professor Moshood Peller and a few of the Magicians we see in Indian films like Jaga Daku”
Indian athletes are banned from Sports activities just like the Olympics as a result of the organizers separate or differentiate magic from excellence in sports activities.
Governing a nation is a far cry from trusting or believing in magic which is based on phantasm or make- consider moderately than actuality.
If that weren’t so, India would lengthy have solved the issue of Poverty by merely turning to magic.
By the identical token America would have turned to Houdini the world’s biggest magician to chart their method to the Moon or to Mars moderately than turning to Science and Analysis and extra analysis in technological improvements.
I recall President Obasanjo at one level promoting one of many unproductive Nigerian Refineries to Alhaji Aliko Dangote for mere peanuts simply to finish the monetary hemorrhage on working these Refineries which have been being run at an enormous loss to the Authorities and to poor Nigerians who bear the brunt of the financial catastrophe caused by poor and really corrupt administration of these Refineries.
It took the braveness of President Yar Adua who boldly reversed the sale and he obtained Dangote to return the Refinery again to Authorities whereas taking again the cash he had paid for the acquisition.
Atiku Abubakar who President Obasanjo had put in control of the privatization of the main failing Industries in Nigeria, had abused the belief by promoting most of the tasks for under a fraction of their value.…..CONTINUE READING
Atiku had seen the transfer by Obasanjo as a chance to counterpoint himself and to promote these industries to himself or members of the family and pals for hen change.
He Atiku Abubakar had determined to make use of that cash to purchase up and to personal unique properties in Dubai and the US through huge corruption, earlier than utilizing that cash to run for President of Nigeria on a number of makes an attempt together with his most up-to-date loss once more on February twenty fifth in 2023 in an election he was programmed to win handily however he he had misplaced woefully to Tinubu as a result of the PDP had damaged into 4 unbiased entities below his management with Atiku main one faction, Peter Obi decamped to the Labor Social gathering, Governor Wike and his Group of 5 Governors withdrew their help for the Atiku faction whereas Kwankwaso took away 900,000 votes which may simply have gone to Atiku in Kano
No marvel Atiku got here a distant second with 6 million plus votes to Tinubu who scored near 9 million to grab Victory from the jaws of defeat.
If Nigerians evaluate Tinubu to not God however to his fellow presidential contenders in Nigeria and to his counterparts around the globe, they’d respect that the worth of unleaded petrol which has risen to 600.00 Naira per liter, in Nigeria with the elimination of subsidy, the worth of petrol in Nigeria continues to be not as dangerous because the liter of the identical petrol in Maradi or Niamey in Niger or in Kaula and Dakar in Senegal or In Abidjan and Yammasoukoro within the Ivory Coast and plenty of different African nations and even in America the place a liter of that oil is offered at 3.50 to five.50 {Dollars} within the Northeast of America whereas it prices as much as 6 to 7 {Dollars} in California and different elements of the US.
For those who convert these costs in America into Naira at present change price, you’ll perceive and respect that the price of oil per liter in Nigeria, continues to be among the many lowest on the earth and that the Nigerian Labor Congress which is threatening to go on indefinite strike, if the elimination of subsidy is just not instantly lifted by the brand new Tinubu Administration that Hell goes to interrupt free.
These Nigerians would notice that these threatening to go on strike are nothing however saboteurs and they don’t seem to be being reasonable and considerate in any respect. They ought to completely agree with Peter Obi when he described subsidy as organized crime pure and easy.
I agree that the elimination is painful and draconian if you’re solely taking a look at Nigeria in isolation of the remainder of the world.
Nigeria can’t be an island to herself. She has to do a comparative evaluation with how a lot gasoline is being offered in different elements of the world together with the UK and Europe and even in Russia and Ukraine that are at present at warfare.
Elimination of oil subsidy is about probably the most rational resolution at this time given the entire options accessible to the embattled Nigerian Authorities at this level.
For those who all hearken to the admonition of the Chief Imam of Ogbomosho whose evaluation in a single video I’ve seen, is nearly as good as any evaluation that the late Professor Samuel Adepoju Aluko a famend Economist would have given, if he have been nonetheless alive.
That Chief Imam is a firebrand and one thing else in my opinion.
I listened to the good evaluation that Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala has made on why subsidy defies logic and must be eliminated for the great of the nation.
I listened to the Caliphate Lamido Sanusi the previous Governor of the Nigerian Central Financial institution go to nice size to help the Iweala evaluation by saying that retaining the subsidy was going to steer Nigeria to the precipice or to the brink of catastrophe.
I can not agree extra.
President Tinubu is severely working around the clock to discover a resolution through negotiation.
I name that the precise transfer which should proceed and Nigerians ought to urge Labor Social gathering and the Nigerian Labor Congress to shelf or abandon their plan to name for an indefinite strike however to point out patriotism and purposeful management by becoming a member of within the negotiation to discover a method out of the stalemate going through Nigeria proper now.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.
The events to the negotiation ought to bear in mind the Biblical Injunction which says, “Ask and also you shall get, search and ye shall discover and knock and it shall be opened unto you”
The corollary is that in case you don’t ask, you get nothing. For those who don’t search, you discover nothing and in case you don’t knock, no door will get opened unto you.
The events should proceed the negotiations till they can discover an amicable resolution which is feasible and attainable if all of them negotiate in good religion.
It’s an space the place Oshiomole, a former labor chief and Governor may very well be tapped to assist discover a center floor and an amicable resolution.
Fortunately, Adam Oshiomole is a loyal good friend and ally of the brand new President and a very good get together chief and now a Senator of the ruling APC in Abuja.
You go to Battle with the Generals you haven’t with those you hope to have.…..CONTINUE READING
I relaxation my case.
