I don't even know where to begin this, because to be honest i'm very confused and i'm not yet sure of where i stand. To me, Nigeria is just like the man that was sent to the river by his king. If he goes too close to the river, he'll drown, and if he returns back to the king, he'll be beheaded. What is he to do then?
There's one major thing i'm sure of, and it's the fact that we can afford the 'goodness and sweetness of life' Mr President is promising without removing the fuel subsidy. Yes, we can! I mean, we use #1billion to feed our president loaves of cassava bread (wait, what does he use his salary for sef?), #300million to buy dinning sets 4 aso rock (continue changing dinning sets like pants o!), ridiculous allowances are given to senators(furniture allowance every month? Aba!), doing foolish big brother for other african countries, i could go on!
If we cut down all these costs, don't you think we'll afford anything we want?
And err... those governors supporting this removal, you know why? 'Cos allocations will increase, and so will their bank accounts!
On the other hand though, GEJ may just want the best for Nigeria, but Nigerians have gone through too much to trust anyone now. What if, at the end of it all, everything turns out well, would we not be embarrassed to have protested for nothing? The plan sounds lame and watery right, but what if it just turns out fine?
Anyways, i think GEJ is there to rep us, not act like our daddy telling us what's best for us! We elected him and if we want the price back to the status quo, he must oblige! If he really thought removal was best, why didn't he tell us to vote for him and that 'I'll remove fuel subsidy if you vote for me'. Why did he have to use that lame 'i had no shoes' line? I think there's more to this removal thing than is being let on.
Sweet, nice, cute loving, handsome Mr President, i might be confused on the position to take, but i'm sure of one thing; I'd rather spend #350 to yaba than spend #700. Pls do something quick, i don't want my brain to be filled with cobwebs when we resume.
Naija o ni baje o!
