Recently the new adminstration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu did the unthinkable! He did what others have failed or scared to do which is yank off the fuel subsidy! Though the organised labour are braving up for a showdown from Wednesday but the subsidy must be removed argued the economists.
Just thinking of this fuel issue and it’s attendants issue! Well it is unfortunate that Nigeria is an abberation! The only country that is a crude oil producer without a functional refinery! Also it is the only country that is OPEC member that imports refined products and has high cost of fuel unlike other OPEC countries!
To me,That is the cost of ineptitude foe years from Obasanjo to Jonathan (that one is the worst of the all) never seen a weakling like him! Coming from oil producing region yet couldn’t even build a single refinery! Then Buhari came to down with all whatnots though some sections of the country warned! The subsidy has been removed with some against and while few are for but the Labour will strike on Wednesday! So they said !
But wait a minute, this fuel issue will make us re evaluate our movement! You will park car and use public transport! If your kids school are far, You bring it nearer to reduce logistic cost! If your office is far you do something about it and make it nearer or work from home! If your mosque or church is far, try make it nearer ,God is everywhere …this is to reduce logistic cost! Remember that fuel was increased but not salaries .
Now are you a businessman,you must know that customers will not come to market anyhow these days! You must invest in online and virtual presence ,this is where MENXTT TECHNOLOGIES comes to help SMEs like you to get a marketshare! If you run a school, also try eLearning solutions for kids during holidays cos parents can’t be spending lots to send their kids to school .
Are you into religion or church ! You must start investing in video streaming and internet! Since COVID 19 church attendance has reduced and in places like Eastern Nigeria people are leaving churches just like Europe.You must take the gospel to people as Jesus Christ mandated us and you can do this by investing heaving in online presence and internet! Bro Ebuka Obi is doing fantastic here…lord bless his soul ! This isn’t the time you will seat and wait for workers ! You must recruit hands and pay consultants to handle your PR and virtual presence, talk with MENXTT TECHNOLOGIES here..they even have a church management software also
Now this is the time to start thinking! Charles Darwin in his theory of survival of fittest made it know in clear terms that the organism that fails to adapt will die off! Will you adapt or die off? Think of this !
