We are all but victims of these rash economic policies.

 The birds shouldn't fly when the Nigerian air space is not safe.

A space that's not safe for man to inhabit cannot be safe for birds to fly.

We are all but victims of these rash economic policies.

You think the birds are spared of the wanton economic disaster created by this incompetent government?

According to World Bank, under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari, in the year (2020)-Nigeria’s economy slid to its worst economic recession in the last three decades (30 affirmative years).

I have never been a penchant antagonist, far from vilifying unreasonably nor in the habit of discrediting this poor government unfairly. This government has brazenly proven to Nigerians that the task of governance is well beyond its know-how, ideas have evaded them. Even with all the instrumentalities of governing a nation well available-the man power, the technocrats, the academia, the carrier civil servants, and the permanent secretaries…

A government that artificially devaluates its currency that has affected virtually all aspect all of life-in the presence of wanton ravaging economic recession, closes its borders, banned importation of rice-out rightly or not, real or phony. In a nation that under-produces rice (for the moment be, who makes-up for this under-production?), increased petroleum price (done by a president who hitherto remonstrated against such increment), increased taxes, increased interest rates, export yams that were/is not sufficient for Nigerians to consume (in the name of foreign exchange)-all of these are/is happening simultaneously under a disastrous economic recession…created by the same government. Policies such as these don’t work-won’t work, not even in banana republics. Now prices have skyrocketed. Across the spectrum, the economic down-turn has/is affected/affecting everybody, irrespective of your religious and tribal affiliations- political sentiments, cultural differences, poor and otherwise-we are all but victims of this rash economic policies.

Stable democracy does not assure stable meal. Inasmuch as we crave for political stability to booster economic growth, dependency scholar such as Danbisa Moyo believes the contradictions inherent in democratic processes further exacerbates economic growth due to periodic and sometimes sporadic political instabilities that business environment is marred with. Danbisa also noted that; Chinese long term economic plan, coupled with long term government in office should be the envy of others as it has created stable economic and political atmosphere.

”I Speak Truth to Power” (Irshad Manji).

This government is detrimental. Malignantly shaping and setting up dangerous precedencies.  The government is nothing short of a failure. A Debacle. It is catastrophic. And cancerous. It has set and incited setbacks for many Nigerians-especially those who dreamed of a better day for this mere geographical expression (Obafemi Awolowo) called Nigeria.

We elect persons who are naïve and inexperience, rulers who are nepotic, filled with ethnic sentiments, self-serving and self-selective, corrupt and thug-like, people who have taken politics for a carrier job, fibs, dunce, retired military men, incompetent election riggers to steer the affairs of a nation that is in dire need of leaders who are selfless. What we have only reflects our collective decision in the entity called Nigeria.

It is obvious that this government is not redeemable; after all, you cannot change a man that’s over seventy (70) years. Six years down the line, rather than make up for poor decisions made, this government is still in the practice of blaming his predecessors ( Goodlock Jonathan didn’t save, Olusegun Obasanjo mismanaged funds made for power, Diezani did this, Dasuki did that) as of today, the 24th of Nov. 2020, non among these guys have been successfully prosecuted, only media trials as Bukola Saraki and his PDP bulwarks labeled it. Amongst these men, only Dasuki has been remanded. Thirty seven (37) years after Pres. Buhari was ousted as the military head of state, the old man still blames saboteurs for hikes in the prices of consumables under his watch as a civilian president. All tools and attentions have now been swiftly shifted in the direction of comparative international economy, it is no longer reasonably plausible for this government to fix this economy, but to compare and take credits for the failure of other states.

Even though it is unaccepted that this government leaves the Nigerian economy in ruins as never before seen-as it stands currently, we can only work and hope for a day full of hope as a Nigerian.

While Nigerians wobble in poverty and silently groan under the current economic fall-out, the people still await an economic road-map out of this repressive recession.
