- Nigerians Protest Against Economic Catastrophe under Tinubu | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu introduced economic reforms as soon as he took office. He removed Nigeria's fuel subsidy & devalued the currency, the Naira. Both moves have had a disastrous impact on Nigeria's economy. The country is seeing inflation approach 30%. Palki Sharma tells you more.

Thank you for broadcasting our issues. It’s a highly alarming inflation.
In the short run, the hike is terrible. But in the long run, you guys will benefit. All the best.
@@Contractor48 In many countries it’s a bit easier to see how it would help in the long run but not so much in Nigeria where corruption is too high and the government is still reckless with spending on frivolities while the masses suffer. The people do not trust the president. He came through corrupt means in an election he did not win, his history is entrenched in corruption (drug peddling, certificate forgery and election rigging) and his actions in power have raised many doubts about every promise he makes. Nevertheless, I’m expecting the best and preparing for the worst.
@@Contractor48now make that make sense😂😂😂😂
Food prices is 500% increment
Where is all the national reserves / resources/
Why the purchase of yacht and why this luxurious travels.
We have bad leadership but we forget how worst the adult suffrage ( the voters ) or allow themselves to be bought by wicked imposters….
As a Nigerian.. I can assure u that what we are going through in this country is way beyond what u see on the news and other social media platforms..
We are truly suffering...
I concurr
Inflation in Nigeria is nothing short of 100% on the conservative estimate.
Nowander I see so many Nigerians coming to Kenya in large numbers
I wouldn't hesitate to leave this country if I get the chance..
Honestly
@@godszilla45pray to jesua
30% that's what the government says but in reality it's much higher than that
Am not surprised
In reality it is 100% at a low end
The inflation is at 150%
Thank you palki, it’s just so pathetic that Nigeria as a country with lands full of Agriculture , is clamoring OF hunger , and also the fuel subsidy has been the bedrock of the problem.. Thanks for speaking our minds
Thise lands are reserved by the white man for EXPORTING!! That food do not go within Africa's territory it foes to America, France, Germany etc etc etc and yall know that 😂😂😂
What is clamouring for hunger?
You dey learn English Language?
@@jeffaris2012Go and ask your Grandfather
@@jeffaris2012how is your boyfriend now
Is so because the bandit didn't allow people to farm ❤
Floating the naira wasn't going to attract foreign investment when Nigeria's electric supply is notoriously unreliable. In fact, foreign companies have been leaving Nigeria due to it.
Insecurity too
Exactly! You can't power a factory using fart
Who would want to do business where basic infrastructure is non existent?'
Nothing beats insecurity
It goes to show you how currupt most Nigerians are. The level of curruption in Nigeria reflects on how poorly Nigerians run Nigeria. Basic infrastructure, like good roads, power supply, including health care system and clean drinking water is non existent. An oil cartel for that matter!
If you think of how the UAE is able to generate wealth to build and maintain its world class infrastructure, Nigeria has the same means of generating wealth from the same source as the UAE and even more wealth. However, compare the poor or substandard level of infrastructure in Nigeria with that of the UAE and you'll be shocked!
Thank You so much Palki. Your doing a great job. There are other factors that have contributed to the problem on ground. Outside the two you mentioned other are 3) High cost of governance 4)Insecurity 5)Corruption. Life is so hard in Nigeria right now. Prices of goods and services have tripled. A loaf of bread that was sold at 500 naira in December 2023 is now sold for 1200 naira. Living in Lagos right now is hell for salary earners
Add legitimacy issues to the list. Everyone with a brain knows the man rigged his way to that seat, with the corrupt judiciary doing his bidding. Investors do not want to invest in an economy that is shaky where justice is sold to the highest bidder. Lack of constant electricity is another factor.
Now N1,600 😮
I don't understand how Nigerian hungry??
You don't understand abi? 😅 okay! Come and live with us for 2 weeks you will understand
This two issue are related to all what you have mention
Dear beautiful Palki Sharma, thanks a million. No News channel reported this incident in Nigeria like the way you did. Brief, concise and brilliant.
The Nigerian press is under Tinubu. This is the worst media time we have ever had in Nigeria. Imagine the style of Punch Newspaper reporting during the time of Buhari, when things were better than this!
But some facts are distorted. There is nothing like free distribution of rice. People's hard earn money that custom confiscated and are distributing it for a subsidized price. There is also nothing like payment of stipends to the youth in Nigeria as was reported.
Arise news did cover it
Stop lying to appear smart. Arise News and Channel TV have reported all these in far more details than this simple summary she just made. If no Nigeria media outlet has reported it this way, where did she get her info to report? Those live interviews do you think Firpost were the ones that did it? They got it from Nigerian news platforms.
Stop watching NTA and TVC news. Watch better channels
@@user-cx1jn2nc1zyou dey mind the werey
I'm Nigerian and this news today made me totally believe that all others news are accurate and this channel should be followed
I love how India❤ media covers Nigerian news better than Nigerian media house😢
😂
Sams is in India bro, Indian media don't pick even Indian issues
What do you expect from a criminal and a thief?
Did you even watch the whole clip?!
@@temidayojaphet2901yeah i did it only proved how incompetent tinubu is
@@temidayojaphet2901 what about his comment suggest he didn't watch the video. I ask again, what were you expecting from a wicked criminal like Tinubu 🙄?
@@temidayojaphet2901What kind of question is this? You are asking a Nigerian to watch a clip when he is living the whole movie(In real time)🤦🏿♂️
@@i.blazeeweka7461aswear some yoruba people dey vex me with their stupidity 😂
Thank you for showcasing the truth, Nigeria is a wealthy nation, blessed with vast hydrocarbon reserves....but thanks to years of mismanagement, Nigeria is in a rut ...
Very well articulated report
Thank you very much Palki Sharma. the analysis is so accurate. Nigerians are really suffering right now
And need India's help to make them more superior to Nigerians working with Indians abroad
Just like all of the people they have ripped off over and over again.
😂😂
May God bless the Giant of Africa, sending love from S.A

Giant of Africa are toxic
Ure spectacular mam
Everything said was nothing but a naked truth
Much love and respect from Nigeria
You are
The hasty announcement of the removal of subsidy is something the Tinubu administration will never recover from; it caused colossal and geometrical damage to the economy!
Do you want to remove a fuel subsidy that pushes the country deeper into debt and a bleak future or cut the subsidy, deal with hardship and slowly work your ways to prosperity? Every choice has consequences
It is the corruption they have dealt with not the subsidy, then work on power to reduce the burden on fuel and diesel, lastly subsidy remover should have been step by step as they study the effects.
@@user-fp5hq5kj2bwhere's the subsidy money then? The needed to deal with the corruption in the subsidy regime.
Eight months have passed since the removal, where's the money that was been used to pay it kept? At least we should have been told "this is the money that should have paid to subsidy but this is what we want to use it for." But no, it's been looted into another pocket leaving the common Nigerians to suffer for sins they never committed
Again, the price of Diesel has increased from the the price we got after removing subsidy from Diesel because it was subsidy on Diesel that was first removed like two years ago. So, the price we bought up to November 2023 was still #800 per liter and since then, it has been changing, it's now #1,300 since January and since we do not have stable electricity, that's what industries use to produce and the cost is also reflecting.
@@user-fp5hq5kj2b The government can't subsidize the entire economy by billions of dollars, turn it off overnight with ZERO plans on what to do alternatively, and anyone think that makes sense as a policy. It's absolutely empty-headed. It's like saying we're going too fast so we need to use this wall to stop our car. No, that's a dumb solution. It seems to be one of thr bigger issues with Nigerian leaders, in addition to being corrupt they're also just not that intelligent
Palki nailed it
That is pure truth
Brilliant analysis! You captured the issue!
Thanks as always Palki. Your spot on. Much love from Nigeria
Thanks for broadcasting this.
Am a Nigerian
Hunger. Poor electricity. Insecurity. 😢😢😢
Blame imf
Palki makes every story worth watching! Never wasted my time. Thank you mom ❤
I can swear with my life that most of those protesting or speaking voted for this government and the past government
You don't have to swear with your life, they are already gearing up to vote the same government in 2027, it's all tribalistic here thats the only thing that truly matters. The protests are just a mirage.
This is the best analysis of our country's situation I've seen so far.
We love u keep speaking the truth Nigeria is hell
From corruption to rigged election, bad governance, high cost of governance, bad government policies, lack of employment opportunities, poor investment environment, lack of sufficient electricity, bad roads, bad maintenance culture, hike in school fees, food stuff's, high cost of living, rise in crime, downward slide of democracy. Nigeria is just Hell for Nigerian, except for those in power....... Milking the country dry... May God come down and help us. Amen
Well said, honestly were indeed suffering in our own father land..were in miserable situation in Nigeria we don't even know what to do.
Nigeria, oh Nigeria, things never got too bad this way! Na wao?
Nigeria is not a producing nation that’s our major problem 😢
They produce scammers
@@jpscott126 yea dats a good thing,at least they smart
Excellent journalism!!
Please speak more on Nigeria issues
People are dying there women and children are suffering and starving
It’s beyond comprehension
Palki please talk more about Nigeria
From the rigging of elections to this
It’s all hell in Nigeria
Inflation is under statement
Please speak for Nigeria
Stay blessed!
And yeah I’m a big fan of your work
From Wion to firstpost
Good job
What of the men???
Thank you for sharing this vital information ❤
Please, we do not have a government in Nigeria, what we have is a structure of criminality. The so-called president accessed the presidency after he purchased the whole the system with the public funds he had previously looted when he was the governor of Lagos state.
Thank you for broadcasting the truth..the Nigerian government won’t
I have been a loyal follower of your channel but I have never commented until now but I am must I am very glad that a non Nigerian news channel is actually talking about Nigerian problems unlike other foreign channels that spend only 20 secs of Nigerian related matters
Thank you very much for talking about our situation and letting the world know what we are going through 🙏🏾
You're just an amazing news woman! Thanks for adding your voice to our struggles. Hope we make it out of this hole
Prayers For Nigeria 🇳🇬
Sure thing
What happened to the past prayers???
When would Nigerians start implementing actions instead of prayers??
@@wc899 you're right
Prayer is meant for sex only
@@wc899 you are right..Nigeria and Africa needs urgent action in the right financial,economic and social direction ....then we should add prayers.Miracles will not happen when the system is rigged to enrich an elite/dynastic few!Also God helps those who help themselves!
Outstanding reportage!
Thank you!!
This woman is so intelligent she understanding the Nigerian situation is no joke
Thank you for that beautiful piece of news. It's really very touching to see humans suffering from so much hunger and a selected few enjoying off of the peoples suffering. Thank you.🎉🎉🎉
This media broadcast covers sufficient and comprehensive data on the suffering facing a lot of Nigerians today. But the truth remains… Nothing will change in the system if the suffering people in 🇳🇬 don’t decide to change it themselves. The ball is in their court. You’re superb at what you do ma’am ✊🏽
Following IMF advice is a terrible idea.
Thanks so much for your support on Nigeria be blessed forever ❤️❤️
Thanks for reporting about African country economy explained better in just 5 mins.
As a Nigerian, never imagined i will one day hear you discuss my country. Much love from here
As an igbo
Ma, you and your team are doing wonderful job.
There are many problems to Nigeria's disaster.
1. All the politicians move their families outside Nigerian, therefore when they are assigned any money for projects they take this money to design better lifestyle for their families.
Please let me stop here for now.
Thanks.
Thank you for covering our situation, it's getting too much to bear. A carton of Indomi Noodles "Indomi Table" I bought at the end of January for #5,700 and was complaining is now between #11,000 and #12,000 and the price before covid 19 is #1,800-#1,900, even to the end of 2020 the covid year,we didn't buy it up to #2'500. I couldn't buy it, now I have 5pcs left and hoping the price will change anytime soon.
Love you dear Palki.... Good analysis always...
Thanks for Broadcasting our issues in Nigeria🇳🇬... we've never seen this ever in our Life... World Bank policy has never helped a country
Aptly described by Palki.
Wow! Good analysis, firstpot. I love you❤❤
Your analysis is 10000% accurate , you are saying all these as if you are here in Nigeria or as if you are a Nigerian , kudos to you ❤❤❤.
Thanks palki u are a professional journalist we love u ❤❤❤
Thank you Palki
The situation in Northern Nigeria is even worse than you can imagine.
Nigeria is properly ruddered should have no business bending to the IMF demands. There's no nation that made gigantic progress economically by listening to the IMF. The main interest of the IMF is the opening of global markets in a structure that benefits already developed economies.
Tinubu is inept. He has nailed Nigeria's coffin. My country may never recover. 🇳🇬
I'm a Nigerian 🇳🇬
I live in Ondo state, South West Nigeria
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
Even wealthy countries like Canada people are suffering, mostly done by weak leaders in our case Justin Trudeau spending and giving too much money away while it's citizens are going hungry and homeless and poverty is going up and up.
Thank you vantage for bringing the situation in Nigeria know to the whole world.
Look at how much their MPs get.....but will the citizens complain...or riot ABT it....nooo..
We Africans deserve what we have coming for us
Thanks you
Thank you so much Ma'am Palki for reporting this critical issues in our dear country Nigeria. Most of the people who thought they were rich are crying as well. We pray Divinity to intervene😔
The citizen is the problem, not Tinubu.
They saw an obvious mistake and voted to suffer in it.
Nobody voted him,he rigged his way into power,datz why he has a problem of legitimacy
Tinubu didn’t win the election.
It's a lie. The election was rigged
Election that was rigged
Know one voted the criminal drug dealer INEC selected president 🥵🥵 He stole someone mandate 😬😬 He must step down 😬😬😬
Spot on!!
Spot on!
God bless you ma'am for be concerned about Nigerians. Thanks os much.❤❤
Accurate reporting 👏
Thanks Ma'am
Always keep watching your news.best in the world 🌎
Nigerians are suffering. Tinubu government is killing Nigerians 😢
My best journalist ❤❤❤❤❤
Keep it the roads blocked Nigerians...You have the power.
May peace prevail in Nigeria.
First report/Wion, we need you to do more critical coverage on Nigeria.
Good reportage! Kudos from 🇳🇬
Palki, you're the best!
Palki is a rare gem, you are a great journalist
Journalism is truly your calling. From Wion to Firstpost. We follow your updates. 👍🏽
The situation is terrible in Nigeria and the political elites are living affluently.
Paying the price truly....
News coming from your channel are authentic 💯 , Nigeria has never had it this bad so the present government needs to be held accountable , It's killing out there and totally chaotic , and infact Palki forgot to say the rate at which able bodied young people are dying out of trying to meet up with the hardship !!
Tell the world. Nigeria needs help!
😅😅😅
Thing's are really hard
You are the best ❤❤❤
Accurate analysis delivered compassionately. Tinubu has been a disastrous president. APC in general have been woeful in power.
Palky, thank you for this but I want to also urge you to look into the issues of high cost of governance and the issue of lack of electricity and security which are the main issues that scare away investors. These are the issues that scared away the likes of Michelin and other companies from the country. Thank you
The only news station I watch, followed from wion
30 percent is a massive understatement
It's up to 80percent
Thank you Palki for highlighting the struggle in our beloved country Nigeria. Can you throw more light (internationally) on the despicable political state where greedy political leaders live large and fat @ the expense of poor Nigerians? They have turned hardworking, contented people into angry men and women. They consistently ask the poor to tighten their belts but are buying billions of Naira worth of official vehicle at such a time as this and loot on a regular! It is not only the removal of fuel subsidy (which has always been a muted way of milking the country for long) that is plunging people into this dire situation, it is complexities of issues which the current politicians are not ready to fix because it that is not their aim and objective. What about the insecurity that has sent most farmers out of their farms and consequently increased hunger? Some problems are global, I do agree but Nigeria’s case is peculiar!!
U are d best dear🙌
God bless you
You are a very smart lady! You make a lot of research
concise report. intelligent reporter. The reality is recolonization of Nigeria.
We love his economy reform policy thanks
Palki God bless the day you were born. Thank you for showing the world that not all Western theories are universally applicable.
At inauguration diesel sells for NGN688 Today it sells NGN1,500. Thanks for reporting Nigeria
Nice one
❤😮❤love greatness w sterling
Thanks a lot,😮 your media channel is proving to be better than western nations communication channels.
Very true depreciation of currency making life difficult in Nigeria
When you say 35%, that is different from the reality on ground. We are having over 120% food inflation especially on food.
