"The Subsidy revenue will be used for other national projects"-REALLY?....We all know better dan dat. The main underlying issue with day subsidy issue was-TRUST....People didn't belive or trust that the GEJ administration would use d money from subsidy removal for infrastructure. And who can blame dem?, his administration oozed of corruption and was non-transparent.

Reference:


Even if you have a hundred refineries working if you sell below international rates as we are paying now, the cheap fuel will simply find its way to international markets and we will end up subsidizing the world a.k.a throwing our resources away. And by the way it will still be scarce at home. We will remain as thin and haggard as subsistence farmers who cannot afford to eat their produce.

The decision of the out-going government to indirectly force the subsidy issue to the front burner is a commendable one. The government has no beauty contest left to attend. It can say it as it is. This rot called subsidy just has to stop. The public must realise it is short-changing itself and right pricing is the only way to slow the bleeding of the nation's treasury. We must understand that in times of lack whether on a personal or national level you don't pamper yourself with excesses, you work hard, make sacrifices and most importantly drop bad habits of which the fuel subsidy regime is perhaps the worst.

NoMoreTrolling:
I am ready to buy fuel initially at 150 naira per liter for this subsidy to go far, far away.

Infact, up it to 180 per liter with no scarcity ever again in the history of the country and I'll pay. At least we could still be productive and ration things out.

With subsidy removed though, I don't even think prices will get that high.

Bottom line, remove subsidy NOW!!

No more this person is owing that to this person, nmba, no!

Just import the fuel and we will pay full price untill the refineries start working abeg, too much shakara, mtcheww!

Horlufemi:
a Maize farmer harvested hectares of maize and sold all his harvest.

He then went to the market to buy pap(ogi), corn flakes, boiled corn and roasted corn to feed his family.

That is quintessential foolishness.

That is the case of Nigeria. The farmer is Nigeria, the maize is crude oil.

We are in trouble.

chinnyonwu:

no offence but where did you keep ur sense?
what about the full subsidy paid during OBJ and YarAdua.? why after removing the susbsidy in part we still ran into this problem? stop blaming marketers. use ur fucccking brain.
God r pple on nairaland so deficient in basic reasoning.?

I don't see this being solved in a week, it will last for 2weeks at least, except if Buhari is a true magician.

free2ryhme:
Yes. Nigerians should rise in unison against these scammers called MARKETERS. If there are not importing why are independent marketers selling fuel. Where are they lifting fuel? Most Major marketer has got fuel to sell in the past three weeks. Even some Majors are selling fuel at N300/Litre. This is fraud and you still want to be paid subsidy. Their Licences should be withdrawn and the general public should rise against them. Enough is Enough. Outlets of Forte Oil/MRS/Mobil/ sell fuel at N250/Litre. Fuel is available in their fuel tanks and some of them refuse to sell.

That is not foolishness, it is wisdom. You are the one who needs wisdom. This line of jaundiced thought is so typical of Nigerians with their 'entitlement' mentality that robs them of the attitude of responsibility necessary for development. You my friend are not a farmer nor have the attitude of a farmer or businessman.

When you start your business kindly do not pay market prices for the goods and services you consume from your enterprise and let's see whether you will not end up like Nigeria. Reprobate people. The US is the largest producer of wheat. They formed the NewYork and Chicago mercantile exchanges which essentially sets the world prices of wheat and other essentials meaning the average US farmer knows that he gets international prices for his wheat and the US Confec. Industry buys there. Americans pay for American produced commodities at international prices. It is the producers that are incentified to produce more. Consumers are taxed upon the 'real' prices they pay. That is how to develop. So go farming the right way pal.

Shell's refineries in the US buy crude at international prices even though the US is the second biggest producer of crude. Why don't they subsidize. Black man and his ways. Chop, clean mouth and blame everyone else for tomorrow's poverty. Bloody entitlementists.

OrlandoOwoh:
GEJ will end up making Buhari a hero. Baba is going to address the problem in his first week as President.

dearpreye:
It's really sad that we're are subjected to this level of stress and suffering just to get fuel to power our vehicles and generators. The pains are really depressing. The queues are so long and burdensome.

However, it's time we realise that there's NO gain without pain. As hurtful as it may be, subsidy isn't sustainable, and must go.

GEJ tried to do this back in 2012, but we resisted and protested against it. Today, the cycle of pain is still with us. Subsidy must go!

A true test of character will be revealed by the GMB will handle this sensitive matter. After pandering to his broom wavers for some time, he will still have to face the reality. Subsidy must go!

The easiest way is not necessarily the best way. Prepare ahead. Be proactive.

bettercreature:
Look at this fools posting as if na today Nigerian government started paying subsidy,you fools should tell us where GEJ kept all ourmoney,GEJ has finally bankrupt Nigerian,this stupiit president spent all our money on his stupid election,GEJ where is our money?

CHESSBOARD:

Bloody lies.... is it 500 Naira per liter now??, Dont call that Name " JESUS" in vain..... Oil marketers are mostly Yorubas and hausas and you are holding Goodluck responsible, if they know they are doing clean and true business why are they afraid of subsidy removal, they will bring empty Tanker and connive with their cohorts to get paid by federal government.

dROC1:
people are missing the key issues here.

1. The marketers are not magicians, they cannot lift fuel free of charge if GEJ refuses to pay them.
2. Is Nigeria so broke that it can't pay marketers as agreed? Recall that part subsidy has already been removed in 2012.
3. If GEJ fixed or built refineries over the past 6 years, there would be no talk of subsidy today.
4. Why are government workers and oil marketers suddenly being owed monies after elections?
5. Are refineries worth the trillions paid to their cronies as subsidy?
6. Removing subsidy only abdicates govt's responsibility and let's the masses bear the cost of subsidy instead of building refineries which they refuse to do for selfish reasons.
7. imagine the economic impact of foreign exchange spent on importing feul when we could produce and refine locally.

In conclusion, GEJ's govt simply refuses to pay marketers as agreed to punish Nigerians or is Nigeria too broke to pay? (I don think so).
Subsidy removal is welcome but only after the government fixes our refineries.

chinnyonwu:

but full subsidy was sustainable for 8yrs under OBJ? and the few years under YarAdua. and after partial removal we still came to this.
the protest was simple. Plug the leakages.. not putting the brunt on the masses.

lanreni:


So you think its that simple? Remove subsidy now and get ready to buy fuel at 1,000per litre. The cabals will only turn their insatiable appetite to defenseless Nigerians. The ONLY way is to run refineries in Nigeria, by Nigerians. Let's see the explanation anyone can give for the cost of production at your backyard. Why do you think Dangote made an agreement with Clueless jonah to sell his own when it begins production at foreign market price, it becomes cheap when you produce locally. Thats less profit! The first assgnt of GMB is not to remove it, but settle these gluttons temporarily, get our refineries working and selling cheaper. Stop subsidy. Establish a framework of regulation and hands-off. We are about to have a president finally with balls to stand against cabals to see it through in this way, bringing a lasting solution. The cabals know this. That's why there are trying to get everything they can get now...desperate drowning cabals cling on anything. Even as it is now, you won' t believe how cheap fuel should be. No thanks to corruption.
