Freeze weighs in on the increased fuel price
Freeze took to his IG page to weigh in on the increased petrol price by the Federal Government. Read what he wrote below:
A TORTOISE WITH RIGOR MORTIS ! ! !
The pain of the poor Nigerian at such a time as this is beyond
unbearable. I have always supported this government so I took the slow
'tortoise' pace of its ruling strategy though unnerving, with optimism,
believing that the future is going to be propitious if we can eventually
get out of this 'alley'..... However, with the latest hike in petrol
prices, the slow paced tortoise has developed rigor mortis, which by
definition is 'the stiffness of death'. This fuel increase, will only
serve to highlight our harrowing plight, in a country where life prior
to this act, was already intolerable.
It's like serving a quit notice to a man whose car was stolen the
previous day, after he lost his kids in a fire earlier that week. He had
also lost his job a month back, due to depression caused by the
discovery that his wife was HIV positive during her autopsy.
There is nothing wrong with removing a subsidy that has been the
foundation of the most elaborate corruption scheme in the history of
this country. However, is this the best time to do it?
I'm of the humble opinion that when the economic rigor mortis resulting
from this fuel hike sets in, and many are faced with the dilemma of
choosing between corruption and suffering, a vast majority won't be
choosing suffering.
A word like they say, is enough for the wise.
