Time for....

DEREGULATION FOR THE AVERAGE MIND.

1.To answer your question Erico....the landing costs came from IPMAN...the marketers union.(NNPC is denying it...but no smoke sans fire).

2.Here is how deregulation should work....

..Govt stops setting prices, and allows marketers to set their price.

....In theory...Mobil sets price at 150 , Total sets price at N155, Oando sets price at N160, and Papaengo Ventures sets his own at 200.

....Nigerians buy from Mobil in their crowds....whileothers get zero customers.

...Oando, Total,Papaengo cut prices...and people go there.

...Mobil then cuts prices to N130

...Oando, Papaengo and Total followsuit.

...Meanwhile, more investors come in, freed from the price constraints

...And WE use subsidy savings to fix refineries...then privatize them.

Hence my previous posts.

God bless. I love both of you . grin
As you can see you have NO ANSWER .
The only way we get fuels at 145 is due to heavy subsidy . If there was no subsidy you will buy fuels at $0.50 as import and when U ad VAT and other xpenses it won't be less than N400
Are U aware we import petrol from China now ?

Watch out how Lai Mohammed will claim it was due to the just concluded PDP convention that the downstream sector is finding it difficult to supply Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

grin grin

Lol. They will say it's Secondus fault. Assuming he didn't win PMS(fuel) will b surplus grin

Bro let's called a spade a spade no need to go tribal on this matter because okorocha and imo state people are among those who created these mess we are in today and they still bent on to vote apc come rain or sunshine. Amaechi was one of the biggest cash donor to put Nigerians in these mess yet his people still celebrate him and his groupfrom SS. Ngige was part of it and He still bent on to die for Buhari, what about Ortom, what about kogi? so it's no tribal thing it's a collective mistake committed by Nigerians.

Big lie! Imo voted massively for the PDP candidate. APC rigged the results. As for Amaechi, who told you that he is celebrated by his people? They are waiting for him to finish his ministerial nonsense and come back. Ngige has been disowned by Anambrans totally to the extent that his LGA voted for APGA during the just concluded guber elections. As for the people of Kogi, they are neither here nor there. Infact, they don't have a say. Give them rice, coke and pure water plus N200 and point to a polling booth that has the picture of a goat and they will sheepishly go and vote for the goat.

There is no scam.

Just Nigerians refusal to face reality.

The truth is, most Nigerians don't want to pay high for fuel. They want govt to subsidize fuel...

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home. How much did they pay you to write this poo?

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

1. If we stopped importing today, there would be really serious fuel scarcity in Nigeria. We need 70 million liters of PMS daily. 20 million of that can be produced from our four refineries for now.So...we have to import.

2.Because prices are set by the govt, most marketers cannot import fuel directly since they don't make enough profit to import...and importers want to be paid in DOLLARS. NNPC for now is our sole importer of fuel...because they have access to cash most independent marketers dont.

3.NNPC until this month was importing fuel at N132 per liter (landing cost). About a few weeks ago, NNPC started importing fuel at N141-2 per liter. Meanwhile, marketers have to sell fuel at N145 per liter..while losing N10 per liter of their profits overnight. Hence the queues.

4.Dangote MIGHT solve part of the fuel deficit issue...BUT we still need more refineries. That is where the mini refineries are supposed to come in. Wonder why they haven't started?

There is a plan for everything. All we need to do is set it rolling and before we know it Local production will be sufficient. But the fear is still the saboteurs as no futuristic plan works in this country due to greedy nature and self slavery ideology. Our leaders are only interested in self gratification.

Really? Mr man stop deceiving yourself and and face the truth for once. Yes GEJ subsidized fuel during his tenure fine. But the current government hiked the price after then. Promising us that subsidy was partially removed. Now what happened to the remaining funds meant for subsidy after its partial removal? And all the billions of naira being recovered from corrupt politicians, how were these funds invested?
Guys like you are the problems of this country. You always come up with flimsy, excuses when you are confronted with the truth.
This government preached about ,deregulating the petroleum sector in 2016. Saying it was the reason why we experienced fuel hike and scarcity. But, so far where are we today? There was massive protest during GEJ period for the this same act. But here we are again.
So far so good the truth must be said, this government has been a pure government of propaganda and blame games. What we resisted strongly is what we are facing in double fold now.
I'm neither for PDP nor APC , but this government is a complete failure. Though, not the best but we were better of under PDP leadership.

No fuel scarcity in Benin City and Edo state in general. Na God go punish all the marketers that are causing artificial scarcity in order to make money. And many of you who refuse to see the truth may your frustration never end.

To be honest Nigeria is worse than a zoo. Imagine a country where nothing is working. A country that always excel in bad news and inhuman treatments, worse police, worse military, worse government, insecurity, scammers as a matter of fact we now export crime.
In the international communities once they identify you as a Nigerian. People begin to act strange and become skeptical when having business dealings with you.
All due to how our past and present leaders ruled this country. There are politicians in this country whose fourth generations will never go hungry in life. Because their father and mother's have looted enough funds for them. Imagine a country where the minister of education's children won't school in that country. The minister of health won't go to the local hospital in that country.
Government sets prices for petroleum prices for the common man, and yet this same government don't pay for that same products. Government parasatals still depends on generators, minister of power still depend on generators to produce electricity for its own uses.
Crude oil is being exported and sold on daily basis, yet nothing to show for it. Government make laws that favour them and their cohorts. Bail is free but not with a Nigeria police, the common man is faced with various challenges everyday. How which Zukerberg, Brin, Steve Huffman, and many others where Nigerians the world wouldn't have heard of them. Take Anthony Joshua as a case study. Nigeria was never a country. It is a mordenise slave market that's all.

You have spoken well! The masses who voted for this government are smelling the coffee.
Don't be surprised, the political crooks are busy grooming their kids to take over where they have stopped. The politicians are a bunch of disaster!
1. Somebody like Anthony Joshua would have ended up as agbero if he didn't travel to the UK.
2.Mark et. al would be applying for N-Power jobs if they were here
3.Police are crooks in disguise, covering the tracks of their fellow rogues. They're lucky Nigerians don't have rights to bear arms.
4. The laws made by govern!ent is to deal with the masses and not the rich.
5. A country whose minister says power generation is not rocket science.. Crooks et all

Summary
They know the nation is on the edge, they're grooming their kids in a sane society so that they can come and take over when they are dead. They will not use our hospitals because they don't believe in our so-called physicians and nurses.

Yes...at 100 USD...we had enough cash to pay subsidies...and crucially...buffer the naira...meaning we needed less naira to buy dollars to import.

But even then, it was bad economics....which is why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy ...and raise prices from N65 to n140 in 2012.

Exactly, raising it to 140naira when crude price was 100$! How then do you explain raising it to 145naira when crude price was 34$? Therein lies the cluelessness of this govt that has turnout to be a Scam!
Again, higher crude price means more revenue and more forex and at the same time, higher needs for forex (cash) to import. Add subsidies and salary increase you then have conduit on same revenue. On the flip side the lower the crude price, the lower the revenue(fx) and lower the outflow cos the import costs have reduced. Now eliminate sudsidy and salary increase. You will then Understand that buhari/APC is MMM!

This is a post written by Audu Bulama Bukarti and he writes about the lingering fuel scarcity that is lingering in the nation. According to him, this is not the change the APC led govt promised us. Read more below..

I am currently at a filling station at BUK road in Kano. My car is the 70th on the queue. This means if it will take only 3 minutes to fuel every car, I will take about 3 and a half hours to get fuel. That’s all things been equal.

I can vividly remember that when the PMB-led APC government hiked PMS price from N87 to N145 per liter without prior notice, it promised us that that would be the end of fuel scarcity in the country. They said the price will crash in six months.

When there was minimal scarcity last December, hailers took to the social media with headlines like “The First December without Fuel Queues”, “Fuel Scarcity is now History”, “The Change has Come”.

Today, we are back to yesterday. we have to queue for several hours to fuel our cars. This is a text definition of the PDD days. The only difference is that we have to pay almost DOUBLE the PDP price we resisted with the last atom of our energy. This is the change they promised, I think.

The Big and Little Ministers for Petroleum have pretended ignorance of the current situation of things with us. Hailers have buried themselves in the sand of shame. They may be awaiting the slightest opportunity to yet again Jonathan for this one too as if that is what we voted them for.

It appears obvious to me that the Change Government has scammed us yet again. We shall, however, continue to struggle until we get it right as a country. So Help Us, God!

My brother you are ignorant of what is going on as far as the fuel scarcity is concern. I'm not a politician, neither am I supporting APC or PDP. But truth be told. The marketers are the one responsible for this artificial scarcity. Could you believe that DPR went to OandO filling station at Lekki?? And when they were told to open their reservoir, the refused only to discovered that they had 45000 litres of fuel, yet refused to sell even with more than 100 customers queuing, and when the DPR officials was about sealing the station, the manager appeared from nowhere with tugs and threatened beat them up.
So my brother APC or whatever did not scam anybody. It's Nigerians scamming Nigerians!!

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home.

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

Ma'am... urhmmmm if i may ask. What has your government done with the partial removal which was done 2yrs back?

How many refineries have you built or renovated? How many roads have you completed?(tip: look at Lagos Ibadan which hasn't improved significantly since 2015)

Again, how many MW have you added to the national grid since you took over from the past govt?

These are the basic needs the common man find relevant.

I'm no pdp sympathizer!
