Point noted. Did we allow them? NO.

Check to see the projects financed by SURE.P.

Buhari will remove subsidy instantly and I will see what Nigerians have to say.

chinnyonwu:

ok bro.. juxtapose both scenarios.
one we bought fuel for 67n a litre and had occasional fuel scarcity. the other we bort at 97-105n and ran into fairly occasional fuel scarcity. which makes more sense?


subsidy is a scam. yes, but to who? We protested cos we know 9ja. GEJ claimed the savings from subsidy would be used to turn 9ja to Eldorado but we protested cos we knew its all hogwash. the savings will still be embezzled.

ok, after a couple of years of saving on partial removal where is your country now in 2015.? where's at least the partial "development" we shouldve seen by now?

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!

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.

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.

zaragoza:
Weren't past administrations paying subsidy? why is it an issue with this present government?

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

Reference:


Well said. I could remember trying to get the point across on this forum time and time again on the need to end this subsidy thing, few accepted. Three years and trillions down the drain, we are now wiser, better prepared and ready to let our pet sins go. What a pity. This is the same pity every well meaning foreigner I spoke to felt for this country then and I'm so certain now.

I keep on saying it, the biggest problem this country has, an anchor to its development, remains its people. All great nations are truly born in the crucibles of great suffering and immense tragedy. It was my conviction over a decade ago that any pacifist government was simply the enemy of the country and its people because Nigerians need a serious hard time to elevate our thinking. In this I commend the out-going government. NOI and SLS warned of all these things today and we still walked into the wall with our eyes wide open. What a reprobate people.

Xetima:


Buhari dare not touch subsidy ooo. If you are sampling opinion, tell your masters that Nigerians refuse, completely, totally and absolutely. "As an oil producing country we are supposed to buy fuel at N45", this was what APC (ACN/CPC), Bakare, Tam David West, Fashola, Oshomole, etc told us in 2012. We have not forgotten.

hansad:
And when knowledgeable people suggest to restructure Nigeria politically in a democracy for equitable political representation to enable the emergence of quality leadership - or return to fiscal federalism - the north refuses fiscal federalism which may reduce its oil earnings, the SW and north refuse political restructuring because they believe it may give people of southsouth and southeast equal rights to the rest of Nigeria.

So the sufferings from leadership failure continue in Nigeria.

Thunder fire your mouth there.

NA WA O. EDUCATE YOURSELF DUDE. ITS EVEN SHAMEFUL U WERE PART OF THE OCCUPY OJOTA JAMBOREE. NOW even if embezzles a kobo from our coffers, our reserves will still be depleted...COS govt recurrent expenduture is more than how much it generates( bearing in mind our sole source of revenue has been cutoff). im almost sure u dnt knw wht recurrent expenditure is so ill explain. SENATORS salary package, a useless non profit gigantic civil service in federal nd state level, pensioners dating far back as the 1970s, note all these ppl do not or hve nvr contributed a kobo to nigeria. If govt removed the subsidy our banks are super willing to provide loans for importation for those interested and funds for the refnery investors. bottomline is the subsidy must go , evn buhari tht was tlkn rubbish in 2012 knws hes got to remove it. SO PPL LIKE U JUST WASTED THE WHOLE NATIONS TIME BY PULLING US BACKWARDS WITH UR SENTIMEBTAL OCCUPY OJOTA. U SHLD B HIDING.

WOW!!! SO DUMB POSTS LIKE THIS STILL exist, ie subsidy believers.......so hwmuch was a barrel o oil during obj tenure? 150$......plus US was buying cos of the gulf crises. NOW the US has stopped buying at 50$ even and ure comparing. OUR GOVT EXPENDITURE IS SATANICALLY EXPENSIVE. GOVT EVEN SUBSIDIZES SALARIES OF CIVIL SERVANTS. THAT DO NOT MAKE NY SINGLE PROFIT. GEEZ WHAT A COUNTRY.

Another yabaleft online! People are saying remove subsidy... You are still here assuming!




Now where is ur brain?

hydeka:
So you think God will answer that because He is your errand boy and He does not have more important prayers to attend to abi?This is the kind of prayer that God will give a 'back to sender reply' because He does not attend to this kind of prayer.

Solozzo:
The simple story is that Jonathan had spent all the money on the election campaign and no more money to pay marketers. They now blame it on subsidy issues. How do you expect supplies when you owing them. Secondly too many ghost suppliers collecting millions without supplying fuels.

Solution is not to remove subsidy but a complete probe of the PMS supply and payment systems; revoke lice ces and prosecute and clean up the supply line. Then get foreign firms to build and run refineries at least ten in the next 8 years. Only foreign firms please. Nigerian govt will fail to maintain them and we back to square one.

which village dis 1 from na...must u show yourself?

onatisi:
I think obj will have the answer to this question. When gej came on board ,he met a system of corruption in the form of oil subsidy payment. Obj never allowed nigerians to know the truth about all these fraudulent payments .it was gej that opened it all to nigerians and wanted to stop it once and for all,but these same oil marketers sponsored the opposition to reject gej option of stopping the payments . Nigerians been gullible as they are swallowed everything negative they were been told about gej decision instead of critically looking at the positive side of it. Nigeria would have passed this stage ,private refineries would have sprang up and the price of fuel would be affordable because everyone will be selling at a competitive price .

chinnyonwu:

oil was $150 during OBJ's tenure?
No nid to reply u any further man. no offense

For the 6+ years that Jonathan was in office, how much were you buying fuel? You voted for change ( for better for worse, courtesy Amaechi ) instead of transformation continuity. Blame yourself and your fellow bandwagon joiners. Wait until you don't even see fuel to buy. Then you'll offer a better and a more sober prayer......... IJN
