The biting hunger and unnaturally rising price spiral in Nigeria instigated primarily by the removal of petrol subsidies and the floating of the naira are threatening to spark off seismic social vibrations across the country.
The spontaneous, hunger-induced eruption of seething communal anger in Minna over hunger in the land a few days ago, which inspired a massive protest by market women in Lokoja and smaller but nonetheless consequential protests by distraught citizens in Suleja, Kano, Osogbo—and counting— is a warning sign.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s swift order for the release of “102,000 metric tons of various grain types from the National Food Reserve and the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria” to bring down the cost of food in the aftermath of these strings of protests suggests that he is aware of the danger that lies in the offing for him.
Had the current president been Muhammadu Buhari and not Bola Ahmed Tinubu, chances are that the worst that would happen amid the adversity people are going through now would be suppressed, barely audible murmurs. It’s because Buhari is a political cult leader with a firm grip on his followers who worship him and surrender responsibility for their lives over to him. Tinubu has no such appeal.
A psychologist by the name of Steve Taylor came up with a concept he called “abdication syndrome,” which he said disposes people to invest total, child-like trust in a political figure, a cult leader, an opinion molder, etc. in ways that mimic how children idealize and idolize their parents as unblemished paragons of perfection.
According to Taylor, “abdication syndrome stems from the unconscious desire of some people to return to a state of early childhood, when their parents were infallible, omnipotent figures who controlled their lives and protected them from the world. They’re trying to rekindle that childhood state of unconditional devotion and irresponsibility.”
Buhari is lucky to benefit from abdication syndrome in Muslim northern Nigeria, broadly conceived, which explains why he got away with murder for eight years. When he increased petrol prices by a steep margin in 2016, for instance, there were protests in Kano, Bauchi, and other places in SUPPORT of the increase and AGAINST people who planned to protest the increase. Nigeria had never seen anything like that before.
Even protests against the unabating descent of northern Nigeria into a theater of bloodshed and abduction on Buhari’s watch provoked counter protests from people who have abdicated the use of their brains in the service of Buhari.
Tinubu not only does not have the benefit of abdication syndrome anywhere in Nigeria, but he also has the misfortune of having to contend with a peculiar character of Muslim northern Nigeria: we feel the pain of, and react violently to, bad policies only when the policies are hatched and executed by people who have no filiation with our natal region.
It’s no surprise that the hunger protests against the Tinubu administration started from and spread in the North.
A powerful indication of Tinubu’s lack of firm emotional support base emerged when Osun, his state of birth where he lost the last presidential election to PDP’s Atiku Abubakar, became the first southern state to join the hunger protests. Should the resistance to his punishingly heartless neoliberal economic policies ignite a nationwide convulsion, the Southwest is unlikely to constitute itself as his bulwark.
In fact, I hazard a guess that should Tinubu’s unfeeling policies activate the sort of destabilizing national upheaval that we saw in 2012 during Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, the Southwest won’t be aloof. It is likely to join in.
And, of course, Tinubu is deeply unpopular in the Southeast, the South-south, and Christian northern Nigeria. In other words, Tinubu is essentially floundering into the most treacherous of social quicksands.
His only fortification against danger is not just good governance but compassionate governance. The release of thousands of metric tons of grains is a good first step, but it’s not nearly enough to stem the tide of mass rebellion that is brewing in the country. At best, it will only delay the inevitable.
The truth is that Nigeria can’t survive a total withdrawal of petroleum subsidies without an adequate, systematic, well-planned public transportation system. To do away with petrol subsidies, the government must first create conditions where car ownership and patronage of commercial transportation are a luxury.
Let’s take Canada as an example. Although Canada is an oil-producing country, it doesn’t subsidize the petrol consumption of its citizens. And it’s precisely because it has great public transportation that meets the transportational needs of its people.
I met a Canadian here in Atlanta last year who, like most Canadians, doesn’t know how to drive because government-subsidized public transportation is the primary means of moving from point to point. Car ownership is a luxury, and people who choose to shun public transportation deserve the high price they pay for petrol to fuel their cars.
It’s the same situation in most of Europe. The availability of government subsidized public transportation insulates citizens from the effects of high petrol prices and obviates the need for petrol subsidies.
It is not so in the United States. Here, as I pointed out in many past columns, petrol is subsidized because most Americans have their own cars and resent public transportation except in such big cities as New York.
Without first building an efficient, government-subsidized public transportation infrastructure within cities and towns and between cities, towns and states, removing petrol subsidies will always result in the kind of mass affliction that Nigerians are going through now.
That is why countries like Kazakhstan, Ecuador, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Brazil, which the World Bank and the IMF had forced to remove petrol subsidies, have backtracked and re-instituted subsidies. That is inevitable in Nigeria if the government wants to survive.
Is Olayemi Cardoso Nigeria’s Worst CBN Governor?
I know awfully little about current CBN governor Olayemi Cardoso. I’d just assumed that to deserve being appointed the governor of the CBN, he must at least be minimally competent and conversant with economic policies.
But he is shaping up to be the most inept and least intellectually prepared for his job. It isn’t just that he is supervising the free fall of the naira through inconsistent policies, he also doesn’t seem to be able to explain to anyone what exactly he is doing, indicating he doesn’t know what he is doing.
On Friday, I watched Cardoso’s meeting with the senate where he couldn’t answer questions from senators without reading from a prepared script. "I object to this!” a senator yelled in response to Cardoso’s lifeless regurgitation of a prepared speech he obviously didn’t understand. “Let him go back and answer the question!"
Anyone who can’t respond to a question without reading a prepared text obviously has no understanding of what he is talking about. Albert Einstein famously said, “if you can't explain it simply then you don't understand it well enough." Cardoso’s case is even worse. He can’t explain it at all. It explains why the economy is in a mess and the naira is in a worse shape than it has ever been.
Cardoso’s most important qualification for the job appears to be that he was Economic Planning and Budget commissioner in Lagos when Tinubu was governor, but the job seems to be above his intellectual and experiential paygrade.
I know of no CBN governor in my lifetime (until Cardoso) who couldn’t articulate economic policies effortlessly. Even Godwin Emefiele had no difficulty defending his policies. You may question his competence or disagree with his policies, but he could at least clearly formulate thoughts about what he was doing. Cardoso gives me the jitters. Nigeria is in way worse trouble than it realizes with an airhead like that as CBN governor.
Leave all these grammar abeg, Igbos warned about Buhari and Tinubu, but some people felt they know better and wanted to teach Igbos lesson because of hatred, we have all seen the result....
Brendaniel: Leave all these grammar abeg, Igbos warned about Buhari and Tinubu, but some people felt they know better and wanted to teach Igbos lesson because of hatred, we have all seen the result....
The biggest failure of democracy is that the foolish majority make bad choices for the informed and enlightened minority!
I'm surprised that this idiot didn't turn around to start blaming Peter Obi for Tinubu's failures, and he should be bold enough to say that Tinubu have no supporters base because he rigged the election against the will of the majority of the Nigerian voters.
Brendaniel: Leave all these grammar abeg, Igbos warned about Buhari and Tinubu, but some people felt they know better and wanted to teach Igbos lesson because of hatred, we have all seen the result....
It is time someone pointed out to you guys the patent folly and lack of intelligence of saying “Igbos warned about Buhari and Tinubu”.
The statement reeks of cobbling all Igbos together as a cult-like people who take clan decision instructed downward by cult leaders like Kanu, Ekpa etal.
Any intelligent person will realize it is impossible to say Igbo, from illiterate street traders to PHD holders, all have the same political opinion when that is patently senseless because grasp and understanding of political considerations differ considerably from person to person.
You don’t see Yorubas ever saying “Yorubas warned about” this and that because every Yoruba patently accept their own right, and that of others, to make free and independent choices. This freedom of choice reflects in how we vote, intermarry, host/empower fellow Nigerians and relate to others.
The day anyone begins saying “Yorubas warned about this or that person is the very day Yorubas themselves will caution you to speak for yourself and not the entire Yoruba ethnic group.
That you Igbos all love bragging about taking blanket choices and decision, about electoral candidates, hints at your clannish, hateful, intolerant and discriminatory nature even if you don’t have the intellect to appreciate that.
You are so used to being bullies of opinion and thinking of fellow Igbos, so all your kinsmen face the same hateful direction with no dissent allowed, you don’t even realize how you sound to balanced and open-minded people who understand there are certain choices that must be matters of individual choice and never clan or forced agreement.
It was from Igbos we saw literally a million times, before the election, statements of emotional blackmail like “any Igbo that does not vote for Obi must be banished from Igbo land” and “Any Igbo that votes Tinubu is a bastard Efulefu”. Obidients gained the universally abiding reputation of being intolerant and abusive nuisances with the mindset of “it must be Obi alone”.
The truth is that the opinions and choices of Igbos are subtlely or overtly coerced with threats of alienation for Igbos who do not wish to toe the line.
You guys, with history bearing it out 100%, follow individuals, hate individuals and vote clannishly. You opposed Buhari and Tinubu because you hate their ethnicity and religion. Never because you are somehow all soothsayers or wise prophets.

Oga leave all these grammar you are talking, the question is have we not be proven right by rejecting both Buhariand Tinubu?
Whether we behave like cult like people, it shows we stand in unity of purpose, and also shows we make good decisions for the good of everyone....
If the 2 leaders we rejected turned out to be disasters then it shows the quality of our decision making as a tribe, so before you come and mention me again, let me remind you.....
Igbos warned you people against Buhari and Tinubu, and the results are there for everyone to see, if you don't like my statement go and join the Nigerian army in Sambisa to help Nigeria fight Boko haram...
Because we will keep saying and you will keep seeing it...

But they voted for Obasanjo who shares the same ethnicity with Tinubu, they also voted massively for Yaradua who shares the same religion with Buhari and Tinubu. Infact Yaradua and Buhari are from the same region, state and share similar ethnic group so also all your narrative about hate holds no water. No matter the emotional blackmail, Buhari and Tinubu are disasters. The living standard under them is a testimony to that.
Hear jimoh Ibrahim: "Even Buhari who is very clueless about anything can never do that.”

You can call Buhari a disaster because he has taken Nigeria backwards after the 8 maximum years, I.e two terms of 4 years each, a Nigerian President is allowed to be at the helm of national affairs.
Calling Tinubu same after 9 months in charge, out of a possible 96 months or 8 years, given what he met on ground, indicates you are undoubtedly an unfair and prejudiced person. 100%.

How can you be proven right rejecting the head of a nine months old Government when same leader has around a maximum of 87 more months to turn things around?
Who are you going to convince your unfair and abnormal ‘rejection’ of Tinubu is driven by anything other than prejudice and primordial hatred/intolerance of others?
Did we not witness the antics of your kinsmen before the election that leaves no one in doubt your “rejection” of Tinubu is personal and driven by deep hatred?
If I remember correctly, it was only an Igbo Pastor that went as far as demanding Remi Tinubu poison her husband so BAT would not be President. Is that normal and objective ‘rejection’ to you?
Even Buhari you cannot claim to have gotten right because your virulent attack of his person before the 2015 election that brought him to power, same as you did with Tinubu, reeks or personal and bigoted hatred of the man.
You people are the epitome of collective bigotry and irrational clan hatred of others you will then try to disguise as “sound political decision making” when even a baby born into the world this morning know you people lack political sophistication and are infamously known to be the ethnic group that play bitter, hateful and toxic politics as no other can. Keep living in delusion.

We will see if Tinubu turns out to be a disaster because I know, as usual, you Igbos will be disgraced again, as has been the case too many times in Nigeria's history to count.
This is because sound, progressive and societally benevolent judgement is not something many can credit Igbos with.
Instead history makes it obvious you Igbos only ever want to relate with Nigeria when you believe you can rule, subjugate and unfairly Lord it over others using even murderous violence as Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ojukwu were happy to deploy.
At every stage in our history, Igbos have always been discredited as an extremely bigoted, clannish, megalomaniac and self-serving ethnic group.
From Azikiwe backstabbing Awolowo to frustrate the inclusion of a secession clause in our constitution to the Kaduna Nzeogwu-driven Igbo coup then onwards to the parochial Unification decree of Aguyi Ironsi followed by the covetousness of Nigeria's oil wealth that drove Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra and even to the antics of Kanu and Ekpa today.
Everything about Igbos screams megalomania. That has always been the historical case and will always remain so per your flawed character as a people.
When not in charge of Nigeria's wealth, most powerful offices and assets, then all non-Igbos elected by Nigerians are "rejects" according to you guys.
We are aware of you guys and what drives your thinking to know you are like Chisom below 100%.

And we can see where Nigeria is today since you people with the north stopped all the plans of the Igbos right from the coup, and that's the main reason why we will sit down and watch this time, because we always try to help Nigeria then get blamed, everything we fought for or warned about has turned out to be the right thing that would have helped the country....
since you people have been fighting Igbos to stop Igbos from helping Nigeria, I hope you're happy that your people are crying for what you people have done to Nigeria?

Your utterance here exposes the limitation of the average Igbo mind because it operated at a feudal, vindictive and hateful level always in total disregard for facts and reality.
lliteracy is common throughout Nigeria and no one will tell you Yorubas are exempt from that reality of our nation.
Yet I dare you to prove that any ethnic group is more progressively, productively and influentially educated than Yorubas in Nigeria and even the world beyond Africa.
For example, popular Nigerian culture, as perceived outside the border of Nigeria, is overwhelmingly Yoruba. When the Nigerian accent was voted one of the sexiest in the world recently, specific mention was made of King Sunny Ade and the actress Omotola. No tribute to Igbos or any other Nigerians of non-Yoruba ethnicity.
How is all this possible if Yorubas are not amongst the most exemplarily charismatic, educated and naturally intelligent Nigerian ethnic groups as you envious Igbos are obsessed with convincing the world the opposite is the case?
Looking forward to a day one can have an intellectually sound and emotions-free discussion with an Igbo, where all parties defer to the facts and realities as pertains to the ethnic groups of Nigeria, is like waiting to see Pigs fly. Will never happen.

The Yoruba are the most hateful and vindictive tribe in Nigeria no contest.You exposed how vindictive and primitive you Yorubas can be during the last election and after election in Lagos state for the whole world to see just to impose this most incompetent and clueless Tinubu on the rest of Nigerians.Ndi Igbo as well have made their mark at world stage and are no push overs.If Igboland are to be a nation she will be a giant in Africa both in entertainment,politics,sports and economy etc... At bolded is not true.Yoruba has some influence in some countries while Igbo influence is noticable in many countries too for example Barcalona fc recently used Igbo language to bid farewell to their Yoruba outstanding player Asisat Oshola.That is how dominant Igbo culture is in Spain.And finally you can't tell ndi Igbo what they should do or not or what to say or not say.

You’re a kid in an adult body. What shows this most? Kids live in fantasy land where they are giants and superheroes.

Tinubu supported Buhari while he wrecked havoc on the economy. Infact Tinubu praised him to high heavens and mocked those who tried to call him to order. Tinubu took over from Buhari and took the same thoughtless path to increase the misery yet you want us to keep quiet and praise him. Tinubu should first return the cost of living to what was on ground before he took over then we will take him serious.

A Yoruba man told me that an average Yoruba man has expertise in denying reality. He actually believes all the nonsense he typed up there that Tinubu's 9 months is the best thing after bread and butter and that Tinubu is better than Buhari.
