''It is therefore about time that we brought this thing out of their textbooks and face hard reality to console ourselves as the affected people. There seems to be an emergency consensus that Tinubunomics, or “Jagabanomy” as it is otherwise known, is not working, 60 days in the making and implementation.
We have been told “e lo fokan ba le”- our hearts are already palpitating. Mr Bayo Onanuga and Senator Dayo Adeyeye have both appealed to us to be patient, and that after these initial pains, there would be “everlasting joy”. Which everlasting joy, please, Senator Adeyeye? Our grandchildren are destined to pay back all the money that the APC government has borrowed with all the accrued interests? Nigeria is at a point right now that if it were possible, the dead would rise and carry placards in protest! The living are docile and is that because there seems to be some silver lining to this “childbirth pain”, to borrow President Tinubu’s words, that we are all going through? Tell us.
Tinubunomics has also made us very attentive. I never used to check the fuel gauge in the car. But I do now. In fact, I don’t only check the gauge, I step out of the car to monitor the gauge at the fuel station and I note down the number of litres pumped into the car. This is no longer the time in Nigeria to act as a big man at fuel stations, sitting down there like a dumb fellow checking the phone while the fuel is being sold. Many of us are now fuel station policemen.
Husbands now go home. They can’t afford the high cost of fuel. Tinubu may have reduced fuel subsidy but he has also introduced by stealth a national family stabilization and planning programme. Many housewives are silently praising him. Their yeye husbands are adjusting to the new economic reality and learning to come home when they should. We, the people are learning how to save costs.''

ReplyDeleteSupported Jagaban and not a fan of Reuben Abati, but this is a nice piece. Short and straight to the point. Oga Tinubu needs to do better.
ReplyDeleteAbeg abeg leave Jagaban alone. Did he make you any promises?
DeleteTinubu has no control over the price of crude oil. He also cannot waste the 400bn we have saved since subsidy financing stopped to facilitate consumable palliatives. This is the time of tightening or belts and making hard choices as there is simply no other way out. If the opposition are promising miracles, it is not as much as the 1:1 Buhari promised. They can implement those miracles in their states to the envy of all.
