Tinubu will postpone it.. na set up for now.. why didn’t Buhari remove it.. he decided to leave it to when he is leaving and push the responsible on Tinubu head.. that kind of stress is not needed for Tinubu to start.. he should remove it 2025 or after his first 4 years

001Lagos:

Has Tinubu stopped collecting 10% of Lagos revenue Monthly till date ?

This time, He will collect 20% of every revenue that Nigeria generates

Is he the one collecting revenue of your state that is underdevelop

001Lagos:
Bola Tinubu already said that nobody can stop him from removing subsidy so NEC aren't serious people

Nigerians don't know what they've gotten themselves into by voting a dictator and highly corrupt man like Tinubu

Anybody wey wan sell him papa house or land in Lagos when hunger starts hitting you up due to harsh effect of subsidy removal should Sha let us know

Did your Presidential candidate say he will not remove subsidy.
You don't understand economics. Obi and Atiku also agreed they will remove it once voted in. Atiku even said he will sell all the refineries. Stop thinking with your anus

YesDaddyTill203:
Why?
It should be removed as soon as possible. I expect Tinubu to remove it asap. Let the market determine the price just like in any real capitalist economy.
It will be hard in the beginning but the end will justify the means. It will be much much better in the long run. No pain no gain.

And you think Nigeria is a place where the end justifies the means?, have you benefited from the removal of diesel and kerosene subsidy?,, Subsidy is the only palliative any Nigerian gets from the government,and we still suffer over it, why do myopic people like you believe in this government policies. This people can only account for how much money they have borrowed but can never account for how much money they have spent.

dyera:
Buhari removed subsidy from gas, kero and diesel their price jumped from around N300 to N800 Nigerians did not die, they adapted and moved on. The government should stop beating around the bush, the earlier they remove subsidy from petrol and let the price increase, the earlier Nigerians will adjust to the price increment.

And what happens to the money? Or are you part of the households that will be receiving 5k for 6 months?

TheRareGem1:
Subsidy should be removed please. Let the money be out into good use for the betterment of the people

And you feel the money will be put in good use?

I'm sure 80% of the money will be sophon to their private account and use the others to look for companies that will give them free indomie, rice and other foods stuff to donate to the poor

Diligent1:

Is he the one collecting revenue of your state that is underdevelop

And what makes Lagos different from other states?, it’s also a shithole in a shithole.😐

malcom1X:


My question is the protest coming up, what will they be protesting against?
No be them vote am in?
That's where they'll realize their mistakes.

None of you can understand advanced economics. Leave that to Tinubu. That’s his area of specialisation. He will shock all his detractors. This is not a warehouse import economics that Obi knows.

When them tell Tinubu and co camp that time say " suffer today and enjoy tomorrow" ..e say lie lie,...so make e leave like am like that...after all e transform Lagos even when government they pay subsidy, so e no suppose disturb am from transforming naija....chikena!!

blacknp:
Suffer today, & enjoy tomorrow, Nigeria will never move forward, there is no industrialized nation that did not sacrifice once upon a time in their history, even the great United States, went through the Great Depression to take over the world less than 20 years after.

Due to the commencement of the Second World War, we need reorientation in Nigeria either voluntary or by force.

the same apc kick & protest against subsidy removal during Jonathan regime

illicit:
I don't understand anything about this subsidy removal anymore

The marketers buy a product subsidized by the FG but later resell to to the citizens at the high price without recourse to the subsidy (subsidized amount). So in a nutshell all the benefits belong to the marketers. That's why the likes of Otedola, Aliko, A.A Rano will forever be rich. In a sane clime, when the subsidy removed all the citizens enjoy the benefits in totality, but reverse is the case in Nigeria. The people that remove the subsidy will still be the ones dividing the money among themselves. Now the suffering will be double wahala for dead body who happens to be Nigerians. 1. The fuel will be expensive 2. The inflation will be hyper. 3. The salary remains the same. 4 the rich become richer. 5. The gab between the rich and the half-have will be wilder.

Oga nateef, Do you think Nigeria is being governed by people that understand advanced economics? The reason Nigeria is better than other Africa countries, is because of it’s land and the people, it’s system is a big Irony to the riches of it’s geography and people, I guess you are a part of the households that will be getting 5k palliative sha, Enjoy.

You have been brainwashed to think this way. Emancipate yourself from your mental slavery.
The roads you drive on are constructed by govt, the airport, the school, the police, rhe Army and many other things are provided by govt.
They might not be best but they are available.
Remove subsidy money that's only making few people rich and make sure that the money is invested judiciously.
Making sure that the money saved is used judiciously is what you should be worried about instead of making few people rich while still having to stand in line and wait for the fuel that was supposedly subsidized. Pls wake up.

dfrost:


Most definitely.

Brother... E don Tay o!

How many points are y'all dropping tonight?!

blacknp:
Only poor lazy minded people will still be supporting subsidy on petroleum products.

That is why I forever despise Jonathan Goodluck, he would have saved Nigeria in 2011 & be remembered as a legend, Yet he chickened out because of protest by this same APC people.

Useless Coward.

Is it not OBIDIENTS that are cowards? who are inciting people against BAT because he has vow to remove the subsidy which add no value to average Nigerians.

Like you rightly said, Jonathan would have been the best in the Nigerian political cycle had he gotten the political-will to execute his policies. Lack of Political-Will was what led him to chickened out when he saw protest as per his move concerning subsidy removal.

For instance, BVN, TSA and the rest were the brain child of Jonathan's administration but he lacked the Will to initiate them.

Hopefully, Tinubu will do just that because he got the balls to do that.

Choi. The more you look the less you see. Dem don divert loan go private pocket.

So the 800 million USD, what are they going to use it for?

This is a disingenuous argument that has been parroted for too long. And this argument is not only deceptive, but also very provocative. Fuel price is N185 or so today, or averagely N200 nationwide. And then when the subsidy is abruptly removed, the same fuel price will skyrocket to not less than N500-700. So I don't get your point about subsidy only benefitting "few rich people". If subsidy is benefitting only a few rich people, then removing it completely should make little or no difference to the pump price which millions of ordinary Nigerians buy the product!

My simple argument against subsidy removal at this point is that you can't put the cart before the horse. You can't administer cold turkey remedy to address a terrible addiction. Things must be done strategically... One step at a time. I hate to bring partisanship into this, but I think only Peter Obi would have both the balls and the sense to do the right thing and THEN remove the so-called subsidies.

First you have to introduce efficency and better transparency into the subsidy payment regime. Most of the money claimed to be paid as subsidy is overinflated due to corruption in government itself, and then because of inefficiency and poor accounting. A transparent and determined leader would find a way around this nonsense. Thereafter you have to focus on getting the local refineries running at full capacity. Both private and government owned. You also have to improve power generation, transmission and distribution. If we have local refineries that can meet our local needs, then the government supplies them crude oil in Naira (with rebates where necessary) and if we have fairly decent power supply, even if you remove subsidy, the price differential wouldn't be astronomical, and it would be easy for lots of people to do without having to buy the fuel.

All of this is common sense even though it is the hard, long and proper way. But people like you like to think you're very smart and that's why you prefer the easy shortcut low hanging fruit.

APC cannot remove subsidy, they have no moral standing to do so. Not them, it can be another party but no APC. They lost it when they opposed Jonathan govt from removing it and use lies from it in hoodwinking people to vote them. If they will remove it, they need to tender public apology first for deliberately deceiving people.

I should be the one giving 5k to people like you. Alhamdulilah for His blessing. I dont have any pecuniary benefits to get other than good government. I believe Tinubu is a blessing to Nigeria and you will soon realise it.

Until first thing first. Removal of subsidy is just trying to create a lot of problems in the system. The adverse effects will be unimaginable. Prices of goods will skyrocket. Every of our national life will be affected.
The first thing to be done is to ensure all the refineries are fixed and optimally in use. This will naturally fizzle out the subsidy regime because government will not take crude oil to refine again and the money expended to take the crude oil to abroad and bringing the refined products will not be there again. That's why I said, first thing first.
Many of these government officials are benefiting from the subsidy regime and they've refused to fix the moribund refineries. I am even more disappointed in Buhari that he could not fix the refineries for good 8 years and played along with oil cabal benefitting heavily on the subsidy regime.
Removing subsidy is crippling the economy and the economy out of the reach of the average and the poor.

Please help me understand the first paragraph better. I also support the removal but seeing how treacherous our leaders can be, there should be some succor first, maybe the overall revamping of our refineries to minimum 70% installed capacity, else the hardship will be unbearable.
