AFTERMATH OF FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL: A PLEA FOR SWIFT GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION

The Urgent Need for Government Intervention: A Cry for Help Amidst Soaring Fuel Costs - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji 
Introduction:
Since the removal of fuel subsidies, Nigerians have been facing increasing hardships in their daily lives. The high cost of living, particularly the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities like food, has left many struggling to make ends meet. Majority of Nigerians are in dire situation and in this challenging times, there is urgent need for President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and various stakeholders to take immediate action in order to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians.

The Impact of Fuel Subsidy Removal:
The elimination of fuel subsidies has resulted in a surge in inflation and a notable hike in the cost of goods and transportation across the country. As a result, many Nigerians find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty, unable to afford even the basic necessities of life. The sudden removal of the subsidy has led to a significant increase of 150% to 200% in fuel costs, rendering transportation unaffordable for a large portion of the population.
A Plea for Swift Government Intervention:
While we acknowledge that the removal of the subsidy was intended to be a positive step towards economic reform, it has undoubtedly caused immense hardship for the people. President Tinubu must urgently implement tangible measures, such as providing palliatives or distributing food items, particularly to the most vulnerable in society. This will help alleviate the impact of skyrocketing food prices and bring relief to those who face untold suffering and scarcity.
A Call to Action:
In addition to calling upon the federal government to step in, it is essential for all state governors, elected officials, wealthy individuals, and private entities to rally together and support the Nigerian people, just as they did during the COVID-19 lockdown. The challenges faced currently are even more severe, as individuals are not only grappling with poverty but are also dealing with increasing food scarcity and mounting desperation.

Preventing a Looming Crisis:
If urgent action is not taken, the consequences of this dire situation could be devastating. With each passing day, abject poverty worsens, and the hardships faced by ordinary Nigerians multiply. If left unaddressed, this could lead to a situation where individuals are driven to negative actions in order to survive. To prevent such a scenario, it is crucial for the government and all stakeholders to come together and find sustainable solutions that ensure the welfare and well-being of the Nigerian people.

Conclusion:
The abrupt removal of fuel subsidies has had a profound impact on the lives of Nigerians, particularly the most vulnerable. While recognizing the necessity for economic reform, it is crucial for President Tinubu and other stakeholders to prioritize the urgent needs of the people. The provision of palliatives, distribution of food, and collective support from all levels of government and society will help alleviate the sufferings and prevent further anguish. It is time for compassion, action, and solidarity to ensure that no Nigerian is left behind in these challenging times.

The Truth Behind the #JusticeForRahama Hashtag: Examining the Importance of Responsibility on Social Media - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  Introduction : In recent days, social media platforms in Arewa (Northern Nigeria), have been buzzing with the #JusticeForRahama hashtag.

SANUSI BATURE, AN ACCIDENTAL SPOKESMAN: THE REJOINDRER

Re-Sanusi Bature, An Accidental Spokesman by Muazu Muazu - Haruna Abubakar Bebeji  As a concerned observer of the political landscape in Kano, I feel compelled to respond to the disparaging article titled "Sanusi Bature, An Accidental Spokesman" by Muazu Muazu, which unfairly critiques the position and capabilities of Malam Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa. While I have never met Sanusi and am not affiliated with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) — indeed, I am an ardent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) — I find it disheartening that personal bias and unfounded allegations have overshadowed the achievements of a respected journalist. Firstly, Muazu's assertions about Sanusi’s qualifications and capabilities as a spokesman fail to recognize the depth of his professional background. Sanusi Bature, also known affectionately as "SaBature," is a seasoned journalist with an impressive track record that spans nearly two decades across various repu...
