Enlightened Nigerians recognise the necessity of enduring challenges for a brighter future. History has taught us that transforming an underdeveloped economy into a developed one is a formidable task. We are aware that becoming a First-World country is a Herculean undertaking.

For example, we acknowledge the significant role of Mao Zedong and subsequently Deng in China's transformation. We are aware that during this process, there were instances of starvation and individuals who were accustomed to driving cars had to resort to bicycles. It was undoubtedly a difficult period for them, but they now enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Supporters of Tinubu laud him for making "tough decisions" that will eventually benefit Nigeria.

However, I must respectfully disagree.

Tinubu's decisions will unfortunately lead us towards prolonged poverty, potentially lasting 50 years, as they do not constitute tough decisions but rather decisions that perpetuate injustice and widen the gap between those in positions of political power and the general population.

In China, for instance, the masses experienced hunger. Yes, this is true! However, corrupt politicians faced capital punishment, and individuals seeking to hinder long-term progress were duly punished.

When the burden of tough decisions only falls upon the masses, we can observe a resemblance to countries such as Zimbabwe, Uganda, and other underdeveloped regions.

One cannot claim to be making tough decisions when scarce resources are lavishly spent on luxurious hotels during foreign trips. What has become of the Nigerian embassy?

One cannot claim to be making tough decisions when elected and appointed political leaders are granted extravagant transport allowances that not only cover their own vehicles but also the numerous security personnel who have abandoned their duty to maintain societal order and instead provide exclusive protection to VIPs and their families.

It is disingenuous to discuss tough decisions when legislators do not face opposition by the President as they allocate substantial allowances for themselves and purchase overpriced vehicles.

Where are the tough decisions regarding insecurity? Unemployment? Islamic extremism?

No genuine tough decisions are being made. Nigeria will only grow more corrupt, and nothing will improve. Regrettably, the impoverished will sink deeper into destitution while the well-connected in our unchanging oligarchy thrive. In 2050, people will still secure jobs at institutions like the CBN, NNPC, and FIRS through nepotism. The tough decision will ultimately make you poorer, and the joke is on you.

The decisions being made are not tough. It is akin to being asked to remove life support from your severely ill parents because you lack the resources to sustain it – not a tough decision considering the absence of means to pay for life support, regardless.

This analogy can be extended to the issue of fuel subsidy, which should have been phased out by 2011 as advised by experts like Iweala. If someone who vehemently protested against the removal of fuel subsidy at that time is now implementing what he protested against 13 years later, when the economy is in dire straits, any rational individual should recognise that his opposition was never rooted in a genuine resistance to fuel subsidy, but rather a lack of choice. It is for this reason that Tinubu's approach appears so bewildering and devoid of direction.

No they are not tough, they are just right decisions.

Mumu decisions

FUEL SUBSIDY IS GONE

It's even good that you acknowleged China went through starvation and death for the reforms. But you want capital punishment for corrupt politicians like China does, if EFCC arrest someone from your region, na same you go dey shout witch hunt and tribal hate, talk less of death sentence.

Why are you telling me to swerve? Is it because I said I also support death for treasury looters in nigeria but only if it will start during this our oga's regime?
