APC and Pro Buharist are now Re-explaining what #OccupyNigeria stood for in 2012, one day they will Redefine APC... bunch of LIARS

Buhari is not GEJ. GEJ is a democrat, Buhari is a tyrant. If you #OccupyNigeria, he will order shoot at sight.

After graduating, na village straight. #farmingthings

"Poolani herdsmen" will be waiting for you there. Hehehehehe. grin

But jokes apart, I think some form of subsistence farming is in order. Been encouraging peeps to do that ever since the January 2012 fuel subsidy removal by GEJ. As at then I had a small garden that provides basic daily groceries needs for a family of 6 members. You still needed to outsource your rice, yam bla bla bla sha.

The simple reason the previous government was not support to carry out the deregulation was because jonathan could not be trusted to do a honest job. He would either make it to make some people richer or manipulate the process to steal money. The other thing Jonathan is good at beside drinking ogogoro is stealing.

Let them initiate another round of whining on the forum and beyond, type insults directed at Omenka until their thumbs get sore, curse others who dare to take a different position from theirs, and wipe each other's assess clean with their tongues- NOTHING will happen.

If you don't like my comment- go fvck yourself.

If you don't like the President, go fvck yourself.

If you don't like Nigeria, go fvck a gargoyle.

If you don't like Nairaland, go fvck another gargoyle.

If you are too poor and miserable, and think insulting everyone else but your parents would fix your poverty, go get a rope and a chair and do the needful- save the world some oxygen.

If you are an iDaft yoot, screw you with knobs on.

Thank you.

A Push For increment in minimum wage is the right path to take at this juncture.
Deregulation of the downstream oil sector is a good decision and welcome development.
Hope the pump price crashes at the end.
Why are we hypocrites?

I bought my SIM card with number for 30,000 NAIRA. I made calls 70/per minute, whether it was 25 seconds or 60 seconds. Then MTN held sway.

Glo came. Econet came. Other Telecom companies came. All of a sudden, the price of SIM cards crashed to 3000 and 1000 NAIRA and then nothing! The telecom companies started begging us to pick up their SIM cards for free.

And now, I don't even know what MTN charges for a minute's call again. It's something I take for granted. But in 2004, I always checked my account balance to see how many minute's call my airtime could sustain. I do not have that worry today.

Competition in the sector has driven down the cost of everything. If my MTN line misbehaves, I buy airtime on my Glo network and make calls from there. There were times when MTN gave me bonuses whenever I had dropped their SIM for other networks just to woo me back.

Occasionally, MTN will role incentives, promos and packages to reward my loyalty. Other telecom companies do the same. The endpoint is always to keep their customers happy and hooked to their brands and services.

All that happened because President Obasanjo deregulated the sector. It appeared a crazy idea when he did it, in fact, the cost we borne was humungous. But all that has eased out to usher in an era of choice that comes with comparative ease today.

If you support the government's deregulation of the petroleum sector, though initially things will be tough, but ultimately, it will bring happiness just as we experienced in the telecom sector.

Have you ever imagined a situation where independent marketers will fall over their necks just to have you buy fuel in their stations? And then, you, the buyer, will make your yanga whether to buy in station A or B, if their price, quality and quantity is right.

That time will come, and sooner than we expect. So let's endure the pain of deregulation to enjoy the gain that is sure to come.


ONLY AN HEEDIOT WILL COMPARE THIS SITUATION WITH GSM ... DIFFERENT MARKET FORCES ARE AT WORK HERE .. SO OUTCOME CANNOT BE THESAME...
WHY NOT USE DIESEL AS AN EXAMPLE INSTEAD .. WHY HAS DIESEL NOT CRASHED AFTERALL NO SUBSIDY IS PAID ON DIESEL SUPPLIES

GSM DOES NOT DETERMINE THE OVERALL INFLATION RATE OF THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY FUEL DOES... WITH FUEL INCREASE EVERYTHING SHOOTS UP .
THE TELCOS DO NOT HAVE TO SOURCE FOR SCARCE DOLLARS BEFORE THEY SELL AIRTIME

THE TELCOS DO NOT HAVE TO COPE WITH ZERO INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IMPORTATIONS WHICH INCREASE COST

THE TELCOS DO NOT HAVE TO COPE WITH CABALS WHO STRUGGLE TO GET MONOPOLY..ALL THEY DID WAS TO GET LICENSE SET UP INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEY WERE IN... SO EXPECTEDLY ITS EASY TO CALCULATE THAT..

DIESEL IS DEREGULATED YET ITS STILL EXPENSIVE ... SO WHY HAS DIESEL NOT CRASHED ...

. BAG OF RICE AS AT DECEMBER WAS 12 EVEN WITH FESTIVITIES NOW ITS 18K .. WITH THE FUEL INCREASE IT WILL BECOME 25 K IN NOTIME ..

BASIC FOOD ITEMS ARE SO EXPENSIVE.. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE FARMERS ACROSS NORTH EAST SOUTH AND WEST ARE SCARED TO GO INTO THEIR FARMS BECOS OF HERDSMEN SO NO CROPS EXPECTED FOR HARVEST... THE FEW PLANTED WILL DIE BECOS PEOLPLE ARE SCARED.. SO FOOD IS LIKELY TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE..

LIGHT SITUATION IS NOW WORSE .. AT LEAST UNDER CORRUPTION WE HAD 4 TO 7 HOURS DAILY JUST ENUF TO KEEP THE FREEZER COOL AND STORE FOOD .. NOW NOT EVEN SURE OF 1 HR .. SO U NEED MORE FUEL..


SO ADD THE FAMINE PLUS HYPER INFLATION CAUSED BY GOVT DOLLAR POLICY WITH THIS FUEL HIKE .. THE RESULT IS BETTER IMAJINED...

SO B4 U SPILL OUT .. GO TELL THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUES ON A DAILY BASIS HOW HE IS EXPECTED TO SURVIVE...

THESE APC GUYS HAVE NOTHIN TO OFFER .. THEY ARE "PLAYING TETE WITH GOVERNMENT" JUST GAMBLING ON POLICIES ..TODAY SUBSIDY . TOMORROW NO SUBSIDY NEXT TOMMOROW REFINARIES ARE WORKING NEXT THEY ARNT .. OH MARKETERS SHOULD NOT IMPORT .. ONLY NNPC SHOULD SUPPLY.. NOW ITS OPEN THE FIELD LET EVERYONE IN .. BUT PLACE A PRICE PEG ... WHO IS FOOLING WHO '

.NO PLAN NO LAYOUT NO STRATEGY .. JUST GOING WITH THE FLOOW... NOW WHO IS THE CLUELESS ONE.

Yes, removal of fuel subsidy is the right thing to do. But for the fact that Apc and their cohorts said that subsidy does not exist and that it is a fraud; we should resist it. They must apologise to Nigerians for using lies and propaganda to ascend to power! There is God!

God bless you sir. So so thoughtful

happney65 I supported GEJ's subsidy removal back then with this same point up there. You opposed him. Your point wasn't valid back then until now. Where are the sure-p bus and staffs. But I'll still support PMB's move again with this same point. And I'll be hoping Buhari do a good job with money meant for the subsidy. Most people protesting back then were doing it based on the fact that they don't trust the government to handle the sure-p programs. And they were right. Sure-p was another Avenue for scam. But if we can put aside our differences and look for a way forward. In no time we'll be enjoying fuel at the lowest price ever. If dem like make dem occupy everywhere this remains a good plan to me. No more subsidy.

Well, I for one support the increase as its coming from. A government that's trying it's best as it is. There should be at least fuel everywhere and no queues, it's absurd. Refineries should be built, we should have at least 20 in this country

Should be followed with an increase In minimum wage though and a reduction in the dependence on oil. Good things will still come in this country Sha but it will take time
