@pastorjoshuaemmanuel: The 2012 "Occupy Nigeria" Protests: On January 1, 2012, then-President Goodluck Jonathan removed the fuel subsidy, pushing prices from ₦65 to ₦141 per litre. This triggered massive nationwide protests. Bola Ahmed Tinubu (who was an opposition leader at the time), along with other prominent politicians, activists, and labor unions, fiercely opposed the move. Tinubu even published a famous article calling Jonathan's policy a breach of the "social contract" and labeling it the "Jonathan tax". The intense pressure forced Jonathan to partially reverse the policy.The 2023 Reality: Eleven years later, immediately after being sworn into office on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu famously announced in his inaugural speech that "subsidy is gone".Why the change?While opposition figures like Tinubu heavily criticized subsidy removal in 2012 for political leverage and to protect the masses from sudden inflation, by 2023, Nigeria's economic reality had completely deteriorated. The country was spending trillions of Naira it did not have to keep fuel prices down, leading to massive national debt. Upon taking power, Tinubu argued that the subsidy had become an unsustainable "scam" that was bankrupting the nation, leaving him with no choice but to do exactly what he had protested against over a decade earlier.I want to upload a video citizens apprehended impersonating Police and soldier, staying on the road with guns and hijacking peoples vehicles give me a very short description with is a short, impactful description for your video:Angry citizens apprehend criminal suspects caught impersonating police officers and soldiers. The armed syndicate was caught operating an illegal checkpoint, using weapons to hijack vehicles from unsuspecting motorists. can make mistakes, so double-check responses #fuelsubsidyremoval , #costofliving , #currentaffairs , #inflation #newsupdates

People are stupid in Nigeria. It was BUHARI that removed subsidy, not Tinubu. He only announced the decision of Buhari's government.
