Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has claimed that Nigerians are reacting negatively to President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies because they are not used to working hard.

He stated this while addressing newsmen at the National Assembly complex on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.

Acknowledging the current economic hardship in the country, he urged citizens to be patient, insisting that the benefits of the ongoing reforms will soon become evident

“ Let me be honest with you. I’m a businessman, not a politician. There are only a few things that are not happening. The indices of Mr. President’s policies might not be working down the line. People are still suffering yes, I agree with that. But it has started trickling in at the macro level that is, at the upper level, not the lower level.

So I’m hoping that in the next two to three years, the President’s policies will trickle down, and Nigerians will appreciate what he’s doing,” he said.

Kalu praised Tinubu’s bold moves, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of foreign exchange rates, calling them unprecedented since Nigeria’s independence.

Since 1960, this is the first President — and I have the facts who stopped the fuel subsidy. This is the first President who merged the dollar rates. That is why we are suffering — because Nigerians are not used to working hard. We’re used to getting easy money.

“People used to sit in their houses, use their phones, get dollars, and sell at very high rates,” he said.

He further criticised the culture of unearned wealth, pointing to practices such as currency speculation and profiteering through tank farms and government papers.

“ People sit at home, use their tank farms, collect papers, and make money. This is one President who has said: ‘if you are ready to make money, do it the right way. If you’re not ready, then leave it,” he added.

Popular Enugu Billionaire Caught By Villagers After Bury!ng Pregnant Woman, Mother And Others Al!ve In His House in Eziagu Enugu

The villagers of Eziagu in Enugu have uncovered a horror hidden behind the flashy lifestyle of a so-called Billionaire. What appeared to be a soakaway pit in his home turned out to be a masz grave—filled with the decomposing remains of his victims, including pregnant women. Witnesses claim he buried them alive for ritual wealth.

By the time news broke, the community had already taken justice into their own hands—his house was $et ablaze, and he was $tripped, b€aten, and paraded through the village in disgrace.

Ironically, this same man was often seen at parties, throwing around bundles of cash, celebrated as a “big man.” His downfall serves as a grim reminder: not all wealth is earned, and some fortunes are stained with blood.

Before you envy the rich, ask yourself—what price did they pay, and who paid it for them?
