To clear your doubt was there no type of promises made during the elections? Till date are the promises fulfilled? We all know the country were we come from as they can use anything for campaign purposes to woo the electorates to casting their votes for them.
The whole system is actually messed up and it's as if the citizens are already tired of complaining that they just automatically adjust to a more intense system. Electoral promises before leaders win is usually like that in a lot of places.
The inflation is getting unbreakable and moves are still not being made by the government to ensure it doesn't affect the economy and it's citizens too .
The economic situation is so f*cked up that the government no more concerned to know how to start tackling it, instead, they are more concerned with selfishness and putting the masses to a conjested situation, where no one can talk. Election campaigns are all bullshit, a system they use to gain votes and end up not looking back at anything they stated that will be implemented when they are elected for the position they contest for.
Nigerian government has no plans of making anything related to reserve, instead to acquire more which they can take to themselves before their tenure elapse. From one regime to the other, they keep taking loans, and no regime has ever worked on repaying the loans they've taken but keep requesting/demanding for more loans. None of the democratic government has ever talked anything related to reserve, not even the reserve of fiat. Cause, if there is reserve, there will be no need for seeking for loans.
Some people yearn for change in the polity, but they are limited to what they can do and depend on their superiors to carry out orders, which is not in line with their perspective, and they can not do anything about it. I have had interaction with government officials in the past and they were saying that whatever they think is perfect only stays with them and does not cross their level because the ogas would never think of it or dare to make or move any motion to implemet it as they would see it as a treat to them that is why they do not say anything much that seems to be a good idea when the power that be sees it as a threat to them.
As for the loan, it is now a culture for every government that comes into power to always borrow money from the World Bank, mortgaging the future of the country into debt for which they are not planning any repayment strategy. All they care about is borrow and steal, and nobody would dare say anything about it and this habit keeps repeating itself with any government that comes into power.
This nation is blessed with enough resources that it could do away with foreign aid and borrowing but the leadership is what it takes to fully maximize the potentials to do so. Unfortunately, our country is still where it is today and even worse than it was before. If our founding fathers could come back now to see the nation they once fought for, they would weep.
