Five Months of Fuel Subsidy Removal, What A Nation!! Where are the Palliatives? By Peter Claver Opara



We remember how the government, its officials, its agents, praise singers and the sectional irredentists inventing every lie in the world to force down an inhuman fuel price increment on us last January.

We remember how they promised to transform Nigeria to heaven on earth if they were allowed to walk away with the heist they wanted to coin from the blood of Nigerians last January.

We remember as they told us that every problem in Nigeria will disappear if they are allowed to steal from us in the name of fuel subsidy removal.

Five months later, can someone tell us what happened with those promises?

What happened to that promise to turn Nigeria to modern Eldorado with the increment in the price of fuel?

What happened to those wonderful promises; the millions of jobs, the modern railways, the super highways, the power stations, the free houses, the mass transit buses, etc?

Where are all those hirelings that were sermonizing of the wonders the fuel price increment a.k.a fuel subsidy removal would do to our nation?

Where are the hired trumpeters, the washer men and the flutists that were sing praising the potentials of the fuel price increment?

Five months of collecting a whopping N32 on every liter of fuel consumed by hapless Nigerians, where are the wonders promised by these heartless grim reapers and their hirelings?

How long are we to wait before the dawn of the promised Eldorado?

What manner of nation is this where the leaders freely scam the people and are allowed to get away with this?
