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.
