That is not hypocracy because we bought at N250 due to scarcity and hoarding. Now the situation is normal and all parties should be involved if at all they want real increase.lets b reasonable.

all our leaders are sold out..not just NLC....be your CEO and you will never have cause to bother about them..

let me narrate a girls story...and correct her mistakes so others can learn...

She blogged that she had a terrible experience with multi level marketing which is an entrepreneurship...and so she would stone anybody that comes near her family house, to market MLM...

First of all, she had misconceptions ....she was told she will get rich quick....it doesn't work that way...you have to work...the earnings potential is huge but you get it through drive, passion , persistence and action...

Secondly, there are cheats out there....consider this 4 factors before u join a MLM company....

1. The company...it has to be reputable, not one that will collapse tomorrow 2. The product....it has to be marketable, preferably daily use products and good quality..3. The group support system...MLM is a group effort...your uplines must be responsive and supportive..that's how you can replicate their success..more so, the success of a upline depends on the growth of his down lines...also a upline will train his downlines on how to market...4. The compensation plan....it has to be generous..in order to guarantee financial freedom, you don't want to enslave youself...

Let me leave you with this saying....the richest people in the world look for and build networks...other people look for work....

the question is which category do you want to belong to....

Let me help you achieve your dreams in life...contact me...

I don't have an issue with that.what is the cause of the tomato scarcity?how can it be addressed?how are you addressing it yourself and in your own ways?
By and large,as long as it's not available,one maybe sad buying it 6 for 1000. But do you have an alternative?

This is one of the comments I have seen on NL. I have once bought fake fuel at N600/L at a point in time. Why should I going on strike when I am to pay N145 for original fuel.

Please note in the USA with all its refineries and no fuel scarcity, fuel is about $2/gallon which translates to about N150/L. What is the noise all about?

That you once bought fuel at N600/L doesn't justify the situation. Of course, it's clear that it was possible coz the government allowed it to. If you followed the fuel situation very closely, you'd have realised that the commodity became available once the Govt acted. I speak from PHC, once government started sending out agencies (though ineffective due to corrupt officials) to inspect the selling price and calibrations of the pumps at filling stations, the situation improved a bit. Next, government went on to announce on radio the names and locations of stations that received the commodity and should sell at official rate; more effective but marred by black maketters who buy and hoard the products at N86.5/L to sell to you at N600/L (This was when i first heared about gun boat, a car that takes in 400 - 600L of fuel before it fills up). Finally, Govt placed a ban on PMS black market and enforced it by ceasing the product and possibly arresting anyone found selling the product in jerricans. Consequently, we can now get the products almost easily and at official rate. And then what? Subsidy removal.... My point, it was all planned.... plus Govt could have bettered the situation from the start but allowed it to linger on so as to achieve their perilous goal.

As for ur comments on US, Naija isn't US. Don't forget that US was one of Nigeria's top customer and the world's no one buyer of crude. So, selling at the price is justified if at all it's true. What you should worry about is how US who wasn't initially producing the commodity (now producing shale gas) has many refineries like you claim, yet Nigeria who is a top producer doesn't have many or working refineries to boast of. I'm sure you know that to arrive at the cost of PMS, the US would have factored in the purchasing cost, logistics cost, and refining costs among others. But for Naija, it should have been producing cost rather than purchasing cost. Again, u can't compare in any way as the US have a far stronger economy and currency than Nigeria. In some countries like Australia and UK, the product is sold in gas stations for cents and pennies which should be likened to the kobo. Again, I don't know how you did ur maths but 1gal is about 4L (3.cool, so, it should be 2L for $1 (or N199) which means about N100/L if you wanna go by your analogy which I totally disagreed with.

We know Nigeria is corrupt as a nation, but we should learn to speak for a better Nigeria in any little way we can. In all these, it's the common man that's impacted greatly. If you're working with Shell, Chevron, Total, Eni etc or Halliburton, Schlumberger, Baker, etc or you're in the top political class or a successful business man, then I agree you can accommodate the situation coz you're paid right, besides most of them comfortably bought the product at N250 or N600/L when the common man had to park his vehicle (hence the scanty roads). But my dear, u can't be earning minimum wage or better still even N100k/month (which is well above the avarage monthly income of the common man) and expect them to welcome the hike in fuel price with a smiling face unless you want them to spend all their earnings on transportation and owe debts to feed.

To be clear, if subsidy actually exists, it's best removing it but that should be after relevant measures have been put in place. Eg Note that PMS should actually sell far below N50/L in Nigeria if all is working fine like in the US. So, FG can actually make our existing refineries functional and use that to support the effect of subsidy to maintain sales at N86.5 or less while they work on other ways of making the situation better. Also, since the higher class like you are comfortable with the increase and willing to sacrifice or suffer for the betterment of the nation as u claimed, then why don't we copy developed nations by increasing the tax rate for the higher class tremendously over the lower class. Surely if tax revenues are well gathered, it can surely make up for subsidy. Whatever affects the common man is fine, but whatever affects the higher class isn't. The president in his first good cause in office proposed salary reductions for senators and minister et al; did that succeed? What about the furniture and travel allowances that should be reduced? Shebi those were news and subjects worth debating in the house? But since most of them don't buy fuel nor pay for electricity since these are covered by their allowances and benefits, they didn't even spend time to debate or fight over it, they just imposed it on us. If you don't know, most top class citizens either drive into a designated gas station to fill up their tanks or are reimbursed by submitting receipts of purchase/payment of bills which they even inflate.

Simply, Naija is corrupt!!!

Oga, why not offer to donate some of your money to a broke government at least to help alleviate the suffering of the masses which will in turn help prevent further striking actions. I won't be surprised if you're one of those that now drive jeeps into a filling station and ask for N2,000 fuel while a taxi driver asks for his tank to be filled, something u did comfortably when the price was N86.5

it shouldn't be a surprise of course.I own cars not car and thanks to the almighty am able to fuel them amidst the scarcity then, and even now.but that is your own thought.however you are entitled to it.the question is what have you done on your own part to alleviate the suffering?I am quiet comfortable with my standard of living,simply because I beg for more to get less.In the world,the slogan has always been "every man for himself,God for everyone".

I guess u didn't get my point because of your arrogance. Well, since you asked, I haven't done as much as you have, neither do I claim to be in your class, and that's clearly why I'm not comfortable with the fuel hike like you do. And so there's no way I can help alleviate the suffering. I agree with everything you've said but not on the insinuation that people should suffer coz few are well to do? The almighty God most of you come here to hypocritically proclaim does resist the proud and only uplifts the humble. Hear yourself, you have cars and can fuel them amidst the scarcity. Who doubt that? I said that already in my previous post that some (which you've agreed to be among) can afford. But does that justify why those that can't afford it should suffer? Again, I say rather than the well-to-do like you to support motions that impose suffering on the masses, you should agree to make those sacrifices to help others. Say the top class agree to buy these products at N250 or N600 per litre so that the lower class can buy at N86.5. My bro, the simple truth is that not all man can afford it, no matter how u try to defend it. The government hasn't done the right thing at this point, there are better alternatives.

you think am arrogant,that is your own thought,even if it is erroneous. Those who hypocritically proclaim GOD do that at their own peril,he knows the mind set of all and sundry,including some one like you who works with guesses and presumptions.I ask you,can you alleviate any suffering resident in just your own family or household alone?as for me I can only do my best,but cannot satisfy all.then talk more of a nation?

look,guy be reasonable to yourself always,he is a fool who tries to satisfy the whole world.It is only the Almighty that can do that.he has the discretion to do and not to do.why he not doing it when it is requisite,is something you and I don't know.

I like your concerned thoughts about how others would feel,or cope with the hardship,but what impact can you make?how many can you assist?as for me,I can only do my best and he ABOVE will do the rest.But for now,all you can do is to pray for them,while thanking the almighty for even providing you with some necessaries of life,which others yearn for.

someone out there wants to be like you,in fact,a lot want to be in your position.but,what can YOU do about it? this was why i said "everyone for himself and GOD for everyone"

if you think there are alternatives,put it to a suggestion.The government reach cannot be anywhere,coz there was never a sustenance in Nigerian govt.
