“The future of this vast country must depend, in the main, on the efforts of ourselves to help ourselves. This we cannot do if we do not work together in unity..”

Tafawa Balewa

(Nigeria’s First Prime Minister)

Dear ,

There's a new Sheriff in town!

His victory is still being contested but he was sworn-in on Monday, per our Constitution.

In his inaugural speech, he declared, "

Sayonara, fuel subsidies!

" Yes, you heard it right. The era of

subsidizing fuel is officially over

.

Buckle up, because the prices of petroleum products have shot through the roof! Can you believe it? The minimum price you'll find is now

N488

, up from the previous

N189

. Yikes! This sudden price hike has left many of us feeling a bit uneasy, and rightly so.

"Palliatives" is a common word when discussing fuel subsidy removal. Where are the palliatives? Hmmm .....

The federal government has refused to step up and stop the stealing of our crude oil and the abuse of the subsidy regime, so we are just removing it. Will it work? Only time will tell.

#BringBackOurGirls

Our fight for justice continues! We are still advocating for the release of the remaining

Chibok girls

,

Leah Sharibu

and others held in captivity. It's a cause close to our hearts, and we won't back down. We've even put President Tinubu on notice, urging him to make the release of these brave young girls a top priority within his

first 100 days in office

.

Let's make some noise and bring our girls back home!
