People are tagging me here and there to comment about the current Nigeria situation, but what do you want me to say? I knew all these would happen. I knew Buhari had set Nigeria back 30 years. I knew even if Peter Obi entered, we would still experience pain, but here is what would have done differently from ;
1) He would have cut down the cost of governance and not approved new cars for legislators, costing billions when Nigerians were suffering. We all would have seen that the president, too, is empathizing with us all.
2) He would have rolled out more palliative and homegrown solutions to solve problems like massive conversion of cars to CNG, etc.
3) He would have employed more people into the army and police helping to reduce insecurity and create jobs.
4) He would have made scapegoats of Bank MDs who are just round tripping dollars up and down and politicians hoarding dollars everywhere.
5) He would have spoken to us more to help give the youths hope. The youths need hope more than anything else.
At this point, I have built my life that even if the dollar is 10,000 naira to 1 dollar, I will be fine. I spoke for the common good of average and ordinary Nigerians, but you all abuse me day and night for my choice of Peter Obi. Some claim I betrayed the Yoruba race. I hope Yorubas are buying dollars, food, and fuel cheaper.
For me, Tinubu is the President for the next 3 years plus. All we can do is pray for wisdom and that God has mercy on Nigeria at this point. On your mandate, we shall stand for the next 3 years😀😊. But seriously, something urgent needs to be done for the sake of us all.
