Nigerians are an interesting people. So no one can connect the CRAZY inflation we’ve always had, the RIDICULOUS budget deficit, and our demand for a welfare state? I’m sorry, is that you guys think money drops from heaven? 😳

I see alot of ignorant people thinking themselves smart and agreeing with you under this tweet, we printed 30 trillion under buhari, no one was held accountable but you want to somehow imply that the inflation is from nigerians demanding better for themselves,pseudo intellectuals

Did Buhari print the money to drink it, or what do you think paid for 200 naira per liter fuel?

TBF, the majority of the population everywhere can’t connect inflation to budget deficits. Which is why it’s easy to dupe them with lame excuses when inflation get out of hand.

It’s actually sad because the fastest way government foolishness can affect you is through inflation caused by money printing go brrrrr. It’s basically diluting your stock behind your back and robbing you. 30%+ inflation is insane and people already want us to go back 🥲

The deficit wasn’t under Jonathan it’s only under Tinubu. When Tinubu went to protest against Jonathan fuel was 97# you will not die well, you are the idiots supporting you here. And the useless president more people have died in his three years than Buhari’s 8 years.

I usually get annoyed when Nigerians who don’t study economics or politics speak about Nigeria because 99% of the time it is total oral diarrhoea

I think the next biggest responsibility of government after security is fiscal discipline

The general population are not very bright. That is why we generally struggle picking the decent ones of the many bad options we have. Democracy is not very useful if most of the voters are idiots.

"We have oyel" yii nooni, they never look at the economy holistically. Person wey dey produce 1.5million barrels with 210+ million people dey compare himself with person wey dey produce 8 million barrels with less than 40 million people. 😒
