Hunger in the land is real. Tinibu the bad president is not the sole cause of the hunger, Buhari is the major cause, I don't belong to any political affiliation.

Had Buhari tamed his so called Gadafi boys and allow farmers do their thing, no matter the policies, we would have had enough food to eat.

Buhari, El-Rufai, Atiku, and the entire Fulanis should be held accountable for the hunger and starvation in the land.

Tinibu, who is only good in politics, but bad in governance, should as a matter of urgency, address the issue of farmers and farmlands invasion by killer herdsmen, Nationwide, so that the farmers can cultivate more foods.

Pretending to have removed subsidy, which was at N400bn before his regime, but still paying N905bn as subsidy, while the price soar higher is another policy that must be reversed.

Dear Nigerians, the Fulanis, share 90% blame, for the hunger in the land.
This is a fact and not any fiction or hate speech.

He is responsible......

The IMF did not force him to use 99% of our oil and only foreign revenue to service debt.....he's only doing it because he wants to quickly pay off a large chunk so he can borrow more....

I mean...why will u cripple ur internal sources of revenue(IGR)...nearly all companies are posting losses...pple that should pay PAYE taxes are losing jobs...SMEs are almost dead.. yet you use all oil revenue to service loans...??

Why will a Father use all the income he makes to clear loans that won't finish when he has children who need medical care, food and school fees....?? he supposed do am half-half in order to balance things....

The situation of the country shouldn't be this bad ...if he only removed part of the peg on the currency..... And the bad part is ..the money gained for removal of oil and pegging the currency is no where to be found.....

Regarding the issue of debt, u cannot escape it or u risk default? Do u know what that means? Nigeria used a huge chunk of revenue to service debts, that's the reality....
The OP is correct, Tinubu has his own blame but u cannot ignore the previous government inefficiencies that led us to this situation.

We ddnt have debts during buhari's government??did we not have debts during obasanjo era?? Baba still paid debts and grew foreign reserves, yet pegged the naira a bit...


Cost of crude shoots high with every new president that rules in this nation..its even higher than obasanjo era now...

Lol, who told u Nigeria is using 99% revenue to service debt? That means Nigeria budget is running on 1% revenue? I don't know the exact figure but it is not 99%
Tinubu government is doing lots of things wrong, but u cannot ignore the fact that he inherited a nation on the brink, so despite his shortcomings, we cannot ignore that fact ..
I am not here to debate tinubu economic policies coz i dont know the direction of his policies, i am not optimistic about his administration, but he inherited a mess, this is a fact

Tinubu is only lying because the policies backfired. He only needed more money to be free in his hands to squander and buy loyalist and future elections. The policies backfired as we all have predicted. Closing the naira to dollar gap is a good thing to avoid round tripping. But not funding it with more dollars is why the gaps keep increasing each and every time the gaps is closed by cbn.

Oga keep ur emotions aside and use common sense, Nigeria is going down towards anarchy with the current state of things, the current administration inherited a mess, but it is inefficient so far in solving the problems of Nigeria, everything is not about lies, it is plain to see that Nigeria is going down, thanks in no small part to the previous government

Tinubu is not responsible at all for the hunger

So you believe Tinubu should continue to support the naira with dollars from foreign reserve ? What you will have is another Argentina with less than zero dollar foreign reserve.

Can you sensibly blame Buhari without putting the bulk of the blame on Tinubu? He bankrolled him with stolen funds and Tinubu and Obama are the two major reasons a calamity like Buhari was able to become the president of Nigeria. Do I need to remind you how far Tinubu went to install Buhari? He knew that Buhari would destroy Nigeria. He also knew that after Buharis destruction, he was coming to bury it because he lacks the capacity to rule Nigeria and also only interested in hijacking power and stealing everything on his path

You and this obasanjo, this is 2024 and u are citing events of 1999 , when we have different economic and Geo-political situations...
U cannot peg ur currency without using money to stabilize the rate u want, u use ur reserve to create artificial demand in order to shore up the value of the currency to what u want...
Nigeria's reserves is not as high as it used to be, Nigeria had very good economic growth under obasanjo

Baba grew foreign reserves, abeg is it not when ur economy is doing well that foreign reserves will grow? Nigeria is a country with massive security challenges across all regions...how can economy grow under such conditions? Then add this to a clueless government and the common sense fact that policies will take time to bear fruits...so lets say Tinubu and co know what they are doing, it then means that it will take time for their policies to start showing results

Now u have shifted to insult.....the question i asked another person that u rushed into..u couldn't even answer it.....all u did is justify why this government cant perform....

u don't know how much our revenue is..
U don't know how much we use in debt servicing
....u don't know how much we can use to peg the dollar at for example 800naira to dollar...
U don't know how much we generate from IGR
...u don't know how much is being embezzled.
U don't have any figures.....yet u want to form economics..

U just come here to churn out APC lies that make all forms of subsidy look like an abomination.... so much that u the citizens reject ur own common wealth in the name of debt payment....

We've been generating revenue from oil every month since forever.......and i asked ..how exactly are we going to run out of dollars just because we are using some of our revenue generated to pay debts, peg currency and help the nation as we grow other forms of exports


U can't explain...yet u know how to throw insults.....please don't run into my mentions again if u cant back ur claims well

COMRADES, I disagree with the op, tinubu should have stepped down for Osinbanjo in the first place

You are just making noise instead of points....
I don't need to have all these figures to analyze what is simple and clear to everybody...
U are wanting by all means to paint me as an APC member because u have failed to use common sense to understand my posts...
Simply put, the current government is inefficient or has proven to be so far, but the inherited a big mess from the previous government...how is this hard to comprehend abeg?
You say that Nigeria is using 99% percent of revenue to service debt, i say it is not true,
Nigeria is making money from oil, oil still makes the bulk of government revenue, a huge chunk will go into debt and others will be used to run the country....
There is nothing wrong with subsidizing the naira via exchange rate control, but is it not clear that it is funds that will be used to do it?
Nigeria has a low foreign reserve despite crude oil earnings, so the government has to make priorities with consequences....
Economics is not simple ABC, if the government decides to implement control, it will allocate funds and will have to cut spending somewhere else...
Where in my post did i justify the government?
The beginning of this our tantrum is ur inability to comprehend the fact that yes Tinubu has his fair share of blame but he also inherited a mess from Buhari...why is this even a debate?
For example if obi had won, do u think things would have turned around by now? Impossible, reforms take time, obi would be laying foundations, but we would still feel effects of the tough measures...
Obi said he will stop defending the naira, we would have felt it as it would have devalued the naira
Obi said he would remove fuel subsidy in phases, this was an excellent idea but the impact would still have been felt but in a lesser way than the catastrophe we have now...
It takes time to build and stabilize an economy, so either way ,we were bound to go tru tough times, but the problem now is that Tinubu and co are not up to the task so far...i don't see much to be optimistic about this administration

Advancedna
You made good points on embezzlement and corruption, crude oil theft, excessive government spending and waste e.t.c.
Let's say the present government is taking steps to fix this loophole, the impact on the short term will help increase government finances, but would it be enough to alleviate the pressures of a sick economy and the effect of insecurity on the short term within a year? Not at all, but at least we will be heading in the right direction slowly, that is why Tinubu has his fair share of blame and as his administration stays longer in power, his share of the blame will keep increasing...

Tinubu has done lots of laudable things. He inherited a looted treasury when he took over yet He's able to do a lot of laudable things.

Only thing I would say was he could have tackled the speculators /launderers which includes BDC and crypto much sooner but then again, Emefiele and his goons were still running riot in the first few months Tinubu took over. Even the new CBN had only just started clamping down on these speculators and he should continue to clamp hard on them. In fact, he should ensure everything goes digital like JAMB Board did after the snake money nonsense from the previous administration.

Meanwhile, what are the state governors doing to help more production at home? The governors have to also help the federal government. They're not elected to act like Barbie. The governor can invest in the combination of large scale mechanized farming and agro industrialization in each local government in their state for example. If these governors couldn't, each governor could at least devolute into three sections (North, Central and South in each state). Then ensure investment in at least two large scale mechanized farming combined with agro industrialization in each of the three sections. That's about 6 mechanized farming combined with agro industrialization in each state.

Imagine if each governor does this in each state?

Also, what are the senators and house of representatives doing in their communities and state?

More reason why the state governors have to be involved in agriculture to curb insecurity in the state. They're getting enough allocations to ensure such projects which can also be invested in. They're not elected to act as barbies. If they're not short sighted, they would have realised that these large scale mechanized farming combined with agro industrialization would even fetch them more revenues.
