The news above shows that Nigerian leaders do not care about the masses; their personal interests remain their top priority.
As elected leaders, apart from their salaries, they enjoy free housing, free food, free transportation, free security, and virtually every other need is funded by taxpayers’ money through various allowances.

So, if they are lamenting about an increase in their salaries, what do they expect civil servants who earn just ₦70,000 as minimum wage to do? A civil servant has to buy food, pay rent, pay for transportation, buy drugs, and cater for all family needs from this little income.

It is clear that they do not care. This administration is even the one that triggered the current wave of inflation: removing fuel subsidy, removing education subsidy, increasing VAT, raising taxes, and more. What surprises me the most is that despite all these harsh policies, they continue to borrow more money from the World Bank and China. In fact, this administration’s debt has already doubled that of the Buhari administration.
Where exactly are we heading in Nigeria?

Why can’t they think about the masses?
Why can’t they work on curbing this inflation? If our currency were stable, the amount everyone is earning would be enough.
We all know that when a country depends totally on importation, its currency becomes weak. Why can’t they focus on what our country can export to make our currency stronger?
These are leaders with a shallow orientation about the economy.
Where are we going and how long are we going to continue like this, d
