You no challenge anybody to a debate in 2012

pls stop linking 2012 to this...if the situation is right, we will accept it . but truth is the Lawyer spoke nothing but the truth.... why can't govt wait till 2018 when Dangote refinery take off?
my own take is : the increase is too high..I expected something like 100 Naira and gradual increase like OBJ did
also, the Govt has not been sincere all along.. too many lies..

why can't the Govt deregulate this sector and let us rest..if they deregulate, then it is not their business to fix price....

What truth did the lawyer speak? Are you saying we should pack our cars and generators until Dangote's refinery takes off in 2018?

How can you expect a price of N100, when this time last year oil marketers were buying dollars at about N160, but now they buy the same dollar at N320 - N340. Naturally, we should expect petrol prices to be double what it was this time last year. Subsidy does not even come in yet, this is just simple exchange rate adjustments.

If government deregulate petrol suddenly, i am sure the price would jump to over N180, as marketers would fix their prides according to exchange rate and international price of petrol, which depends on international price of crude.

What is happening is a fulfillment of that saying that,


'the devil you know, is better than the angel you do not know.

bros abeg which devil? the sai baba devil is the best devil, I dont know any other demon!!!!!!!! any other one na wizard!!!!!!!!

I don't understand....Isn't that what Jonathan said?
Where did that lead for over 4 years?

None of those refinary projects saw the light of day.
The bastards just "generated" more money to steal is all.

Nigeria is a laughing stock.
And yet they have the gall to be talking when UK prime minister calls them one of the most corrupt nations in the world.

In 2012,NLC,Occupy Nigeria, Safe Nigeria group, civil liberty organization etc were ranting, Where are they?

Someone is seeking cheap poblicity

If u feel removal of subsidy is bad I challenge u to a debate
Let's see how sensible u will sound

Start the debate here, counter or refute all the points Falana raised here first. Thank you.

Story for the gods
How do u expect people living on minimum wage and millions of Civil Servants and unemployed citizens to get through this wickedness without any increment in their Income.
Let's be truthful with ourselves for once.
Everything is going up in Nigeria, but Income(Salary/Wages) is not going up...this is WICKEDNESS.

It is not wickedness but change. How anybody ever believed that Buhari is the man to turn things around economically, is beyond comprehension.

It is all money making scam.
GEJ discovered it soon enough and wanted to eliminate it altogether.
Arresting & prosecuting the scammers, who mostly are from the big tribes, would have been disastrous to GEJ politically. So just end subsidy.

But the self-acclaimed owners of Nigeria did not want it.

What GEJ wanted to do 4 years back and was called clueless, is what GMB is doing now & he's hailed the Messiah.

Honestly, some Nigerians deserve the misery they are in.

Succinctly put!

Nigerians are nothing but two faced hypocritically sycophantic elements!!!

"Oh Jonathan praise singers Oh sing another song!
Stop telling LIES that he wanted to remove subsidy.
He did remove it, we screamed and he "reduced" the removal and PMS was then increased from N65/ltr to 97/ltr.
Let's all remember that at that same time kerosine was "subsidised" for N700m DAILY for us to get it at N50/ltr how many of you bought it for that amount? Alas! It was sold for N120 - N300/ltr
Back to PMS...I challenge GEJ town criers to tell Nigerians what Jonathan spent the surplus of N32/ltr to do for us.
They should tell us how our lives substantially improved out of the trillions of Naira surplus that was made from a BRUTAL surplus of N32/ltr.
Name the palliatives, show me anywhere in Nigeria you can drive for 105km UNINTERRUPTED with bad spots.
Tell me how many Megawatts of electricity the trillions of Naira added.
Tell us how many kilometres of standard Guage railway line was built" - Anonymous

and you think 97 per litre means no more subsidy? of course there is ..what if mins is that the amount govt pays is reduced.
govt should deregulate that sector not all these price modulation nonsense

Please where is the hypocrite pastor Tunde Bakare? Where is the buffoon called Prof. Tam David-west? Is this the 40 Naira per liter we are supposed to get?[size=18pt][/size]

Why are you still talking about gej...., president Buhari is already in office for over one year.

O my God bubuhari u are jst wicked n selfish a dullardiho president yeye govt

Immoral, ,insensitive and illegal that is what PMB has done

This is one of the OCCUPY NIGERIA felow talking.

Even zombies are wailing

dvee2:


Thanks for your observation. For us to look at present and how it will influence the future, we have to look at one fundamental parameter which is the current price of oil per barrel. What ever resistance to subsidy removal given by us in the past is as a result of the prevailing oil price at that time which is about $130 per barrel. Today a barrel of crude goes for less than $40. On the basis of this, no objective mind will fault the removal of subsidy. The FG are not going to use Nigeria's' population as legal tender for buying petrol.

hmmmm that's quite educating.thanks a lot for that

chriskosherbal:
I believe as a country we will get through this.

You obviously are not the one paying your bills.

It's just the bad timing, that's all.

I think for once, this Femi Falana should be told to get a life. Is he not living in Nigeria or is he working for one of the cabals? Being an activist does not mean not using one's brain again. If he wants to know what life is like in Nigeria, let him come down to the level of the common man on the street and not sit in one office and be making mouth. Did he not hear the amount being paid for subsidy? Did he not hear of the way the cabals divert the fuel after subsidy payment is made? He should be fighting for how fuel will be available even after the subsidy so that we can have the choice of not buying from any fueling station that inflates its price after the subsidy removal. Maybe he should tell us if the countries that are supporting his NGO are on subsidy. He will do better fighting for those countries to get subsidy.
Abeg, I m tired of the kind of eye service going on in this country.

have you guys supporting this move by the govt read the full PPPRA report on how they came up with the new price of 145? please do and you gonna realise govt doesn't care if we are suffering or not.

Some Nigerians just want to talk so dt their voices can be heard. They no d truth...d question is: why was buhari forced to take such critical decision in time like this.

War against this government has just begun!

When shall we have a leader that will lessen the burden of the common masses?

Increment Of Fuel Price By Buhari Illegal, Insensitive, Immoral-Femi Falana SAN




http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/increment-fuel-price-fg-illegal-falana/

Removing fuel subsidy is good idea but what I don't understand is that I can vividly remembered that as of early this month petrol was subsidies by roughly 13 naira. Which means if 87 naira is added by 13 naira, it's well below the 145 petrol price that was place on the petrol. This is a fraud on Nigerian.

Can remembered that international price is below 40 dollars per barrel, dear the price should be what is been sold at international price not fixing price. If the international price is 200 naira so be it

Lol.. .. Have u even looked at the Nigerian revenue projection for the year??
The truth is that we can afford subsidy that's the simple truth
No pain no gain ..Bro
