Let me tell you people how Tinubu’s tenure will go. It’s so easy to predict.
1. In June, subsidy will be removed. This will trigger inflation never seen in Nigeria before. I see people refer to transportation costs (for humans), but it’s a lot more than that. 2. Goods also travel. The cost of transporting goods will rise and sellers will transfer this to the prices of their goods. So expect everyday goods to rise sharply.

#tradermoni is a brilliant sentimental plan. It appeals to the poor and uneducated because they don't know any better. Sharing 10k to 5m people when 89m people live in extreme poverty makes no economic sense. that is 300m down the drain all in the name of poverty alleviation.

There is nowhere in the world that poverty has been alleviated through the sharing of money as little as 28 dollars.
