Nigerians are suffering.

Tell me how in the world a nation that is the 9th highest producer of crude oil will have fuel/gas scarcity. Not just a scarcity for a day or two but for months. And the Minister of petroleum had a solution, which is telling Nigerians that he is not a "magician" A few months ago Nigerians were made to believe that the four refineries are almost ready to start working at full capacity, but since March 2016 there has been a fuel scarcity that is threatening to last till May. This has caused the price of oil products to quadruple and caused long lines at the Filling stations. The price of goods have also skyrocketed, because of the cost of transportation.
Today is 23rd of April, and the 2016 budget has not been passed. Projects have been going on and the President has been throttling around the globe. The Senate recently bought 36 Landcruiser jeeps worth millions of Naira. Other expenditures have been going on, salaries are being paid. From what allocation are these expenditures being sponsored. The list goes on and on and on.
Every government that has come always promised Nigerians power/ electricity. Within the first few months of that government, power improves then it goes kapooof. Power has never reached 5000 megawatts in a very very long time in a country of over 170 million. And all every Nigerian asked of the government is steady power and leave the rest to them. The cost of production is permanently high in Nigeria because of lack of power. Companies spend so much on fuel and gas, that when added to the cost of production, prices go up. This is why Nigerian products cannot compete with foreign products in the market.
The above analysis has been repeating itself since Shagari government in the eighties, till now. One wonders with all the promises being made by all in coming governments why these basic problems have not been tackled and surpassed at this age and time.
All these have put Nigerians through great suffering and there is no end in sight. Not with the way this present government is managing the government. Nigerians thought the last government of Goodluck Jonathan had no clue, now we see what the original having no clue is like. Nigerians are suffering, big time.
I have lived in the U.S. for a few years now and I know that Nigerians are suffering. A few of my friends who have visited for a few weeks or months have attested to the fact that Nigerians are suffering.
Some of my foreign readers will not understand this, but Nigerians in Nigeria are suffering.
