Everyday news from Nigeria can make you moonwalk into depression without even knowing. There's absolutely no good news from this clime. 4 refineries here running at losses and we're waiting for Dangote refinery. Thank you Buhari, you're truly doing well.#FuelPriceHike

Pepsi is now #120.
One cup of garri is now #50.
One small egg is #50.
Buhari just increased petrol price to 212 naira.
Welcome to the New Nigeria!!! #FuelPriceHike

I recall the now celebrated duo of Okonjo Iweala & SLS at town halls, along with the garrulous & now-infamous Oshiomole, explaining the need for deregulation & subsidy removal. Yet we marched in Ojota. Every #FuelPriceHike since then vindicates GEJ & indicts APC's fraud manifesto

Let’s Match to Ojota
Let’s resume at OjotaThere’s no point sitting at home and complaining how things will get expensive.
Let’s match. This concerns everyone. N212 for fuel in a country were they are reluctant to pay N30k minimum wage is much. Let’s head to Ojota #FuelPriceHike— Lola Okunrin (@lollypeezle) March 12, 2021

Dear Federal Government,
You raised petrol price to N212 per litre as if Nigerians are now richer when, actually, people are already dying of hunger from high food prices.
Why take pride in making Nigeria so miserable? Is this the country you promised?#FuelPriceHike

When this unfortunate govt came in,
Petrol price was 87/litre.
Today it is 212/litre.Food prices will go up
Rent prices will go up
Transport prices will go up.
School fees will go up.But guess what will never go up?
Minimum wage and salaries.This is a jungle. #FuelPriceHike

I just remembered when Buhari broke down in tears for losing the presidential election in 2011, people said he had so much passion for this country.
