Fuel Subsidies & The American Example!

In January 2004, the IMF pointed out a huge imbalance between the USA government's expected revenues and necessary welfare costs; concluding that the US would require an immediate 60% hike in taxes or a 50% cut in Social Security & Medicare benefits.

And, today, energy costs have sky-rocketed amongst quite a few increases in costs...So what has that government done? Increase the citizen's woes?!

NO!

In fact, today, the US Republican government is pushing for big increases in energy and agriculture subsidies...regardless of the foreging facts and warnings!

Not so Nigeria!

Our government wants to kill the people of our nation, by increasing fuel prices ad infinitum...without creating any palliatives of social welfare for our dying citizens...regardless of all the Mantu etc. "commissions"!

Why do we have such leaders who do not care whether Nigerians survive the S.A.P. measures we are faced with today (forget the fact that the name's been changed...without any NEEDS truly taken into consideration!)

It was the great theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer who stated that "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its chidren"...do we intend to leave any children for the future at all, at this rate?

OBJ Wake up...or ship out!

Shalom!!!
