So OP, the yardstick used in measuring Buhari as a competent leader is because HE DID NOT INCREASE FUEL PRICE?

Pls explain how Jonathan's increment is the highest? When there is a 70k - 5naira under Shonekan's regime? Even Obj's increment is worse, he met it at 20naira and left it at 75naira. Jonathan met at 65naira and is leaving at 97naira. And somehow Jonathan is the bad guy? Nigerians, we can sign a deal with the devil himself in order to get rid of a demon. What you forget is that they are all the same. And the devil you are running to will chase that demon away and bring a thousand more


Kindly minus =N=65 from =N=140 and tell us which difference so far is up to this.
Also minus =N=65 from =N=97 and tell us which of the difference therein is higher than this

The price of oil has gone done but our pump price in Nigeria is still the same. once your raw material reduces it should reflect in your selling price. What is happening to the excess profit/exploitation.

When the price of oil goes down worldwide it means less revenue for the Nigerian govt. Since Nigeria is subsidizing gas price what that means is rather than use same amount of money it uses to subsidies fuel when gas price was high it uses less money so price remains the same hence u don't see any change at the pump.

Also if u r making less revenue it will be stupid for u to keep spending same money when ur revenue was high. Gas price will have to go down significantly and stay low long term before u see a raffle to on of that at the pump

Gas price is a reflection of world's oil price. Nigeria can't be any different.

Even if we had a refinery in Nigeria that will not change significantly the price u pay at the pump as it will be stupid for a refinery owner to refine gas and sell it for cheap when he can sell at a higher price in the world market.

If u want gas price today to reflect what holds in 1960 then that is wishful thinking.


Also Nigeria has been able to sustain a stable price due to subsidy when oil price goes down money used by federal government to subsidies gas price is less. When it is high got has to budget more for subsidy.

Removing subsidy is the right step for govt to do. That removes an inefficient allocation of resources. We may have had an efficient transportation network of rail and buses if govt removes subsidy and use the money for public infrastructure.

A developed country is considered successfully if it has higher amount of its citizens using public transit to handle their daily business than use

Ogaof private cars

Oga, while u try to make sense you ignorantly refused to state the exact reason why the world price you talked about affect us. for your economic knowledge sake, it is the exchange rate that make the price changing in our own case not just world price changes.

HISTORY OF FUEL PRICE INCREASES IN
NIGERIA.

(K for kobo, N for Naira)

•Gowon - from 6k to 8.45kobo

•Murtala - from 8.45k to 9k

•Obasanjo - from 9k to 15.3k

•Shagari - from 15.3k to 20k


•Babangida - from 20k to 39.5k

•Babangida - from 39.5k to 42k

•Babangida - from 42k to 60k (Private
Vehicles)

•Baban gida - from 60k to 70k

•Shonekan - from 70k to N5 (Naira)

•Abacha - from N5 to N3.25k (Price drops)

•Abacha - from N3.25k to N15

•Abacha - from N15 to N11 (Price drops)

•Abubakar - from N11 to N25

•Abubakar - from N25 to N20 (Price drops)

•Obasanjo - from N20 to N30

•Obasanjo - from N30 to N22 (Price drops)

•Obasanjo - from N22 to N26

•Obasanjo - from N26 to N42

•Obasanjo - from N42 to N50

•Obasanjo - from N50 to N65

•Obasanjo - from N65 to N75

•Yar'Adua - from N75 to N65 (Price drops)

•Jonathan - (New year present) N141

•Jonathan - (After labor strike) N97

BUHARI and YAR'ADUA did not increase
prices. In fact, YARADUA reduced the pump
price from N75 to N65. By the grace of God, Buhari
will WIN.
Say Amen

Ah yes, in the good old days petrol cost 9K. (A loaf of bread cost about that amount.).

Consider also that the purchasing power of the naira has fallen too. In 1978....fuel cost 15.3k. Two loaves of bread cost N1. Now, fuel costs N97, while two loaves of bread cost N300 and over(depending on the maker).

The reality is that inflation, driven by our dependence on oil and our resulting Dutch diseased economy leads to a fall in the value of the naira....and thus a rise in fuel prices.

Now, world oil prices are hovering around $60. Saudi and the US are busy playing a game of chicken....to see who will force the other to go broke. Many new oil fields are comming on stream, even in Africa. All these means oil prices go down..

And with low oil prices....we have less money in the treasury....due to the amounts being spent to shore up the naira.(I feel like having some dollars right now....).

Look at the above list. Between 1980-93...fuel price went up from 15K to N5. That represents a depreciation in the value of the naira as much as it represents an increase in fuel price.

And all because of our dependence on imports....which means less forex to boost the naira....and less money in the treasury.

If you want enough cash for subsidies galore, as well as other welfare things and a strong Naira....you need the large GDP which can only be produced by INDUSTRIES.

Time to end our oil sucker behaviour. Time to end the Dutch diseased economy of Nigeria.

Oil is a curse.

Yes exchange rate plays a role. However supply and demand should determine the price paid at the pump. When oil is in high demand worldwide prices go up but that is not reflected in the pump in Nigeria cos govt has artificially set a price it wants citizens to pay and to achieve that price it subsidies what people pay. So for each 100 naira u pay at the pump the govt contributes so gar price stays at a certain price.

To me removing subsidy should be the long term goal using that subsidy to fund other means of efficient means of transportation should be the goal.

Guy I think its you who is getting it wrong, Naira had more value back the days so any increment would have devastating effect,U should measure increment in % rather than the money value.So that guy was right,all that being said an Increment of %300 is worse than an increment of %100 at any time now or in the future.

We should remove subsidy and most important divisify the economy. 70-75% dependence on one source of income is terrible for any economy that is able to plan talk less of Nigeria that can't plan

With even the point you made above, can you compare them based on the indices u stated and tell who is better btw GMB and GEJ. Did the Naira fall againt Dollar during GMB regime? tell us at what rate GEJ met Dollar and what is it now. then you will know the reason why price is increasing in his tenure. And don't forget, they have rumored, pump price will still increase in June if they are still there. That shows u present Govt doesn't have any solution to stabilize Naira and have good effect on our pump price.

Compare GMB government with that of GEJ head to head in Performance, i believe you will change ur mind if u are sincere with Nigeria.
