I supported Tinubu but the analysis I am hearing recently is very sad.

Subsidy was started to put money in the hands of the big men of those days, subsidy is also being removed now to put more money in the hands of the rich and big men of Nigeria of today
.

No it was not. Subsidy was an ultimately misguided plan to keep fuel prices cheap for the poor. It did not work because it fouled up the profit making ability of the petroleum sector, and messed it up to the point that we lost domestic refining, and ended up with large deficits.

If there was no subsidy or if it had been removed since...we would have had domestic refining, been exporting oil to every country in west africa for profit, and we would have had more and more jobs.

Your problem is you think that business people earn money to put in their pockets. They have tax to pay, staff to pay,etc.

A lot of the profits resulting from the removal of subsidy are going to salaries to pay...ordinary Nigerians like you and me.



Such a sad situation for my nation and the masses who are so gullible.

Watch closely and you will see clearly the game called Nigeria.


It's sad.

If you were running a business, would you sell at a loss, so that you could help the poor?

You won't , so why expect that from the oil sector. ? We lost four refineries, and got years of corruption and mismanagement because of trying to sell cheap fuel to help the poor.

Anyway, whoever you voted, they would still have removed subsidy. If we kept the subsidy, its cost would have been 14 trillion this year. Our budget is 20 trillion. That 14 trillion would have come from our budget...leaving a hole that needs to be filled...by loans.

And as things stand, we cannot take any more loans right now. DMO is shouting that we are all loaned up, and the IMF is looking at us one kind.

So, you want to vote for someone who would have kept subsidy.

Yes, and you would have ended up with Nigeria running out of money completely in the next ten years, with our budget deficit eating up the budget.

Subsidy removal is hellish, but keeping it assures a hellish future.
Evergreen4:
The subsidy that was removed from kerosene, diesel and gas, what did they use it for. Subsidizing fuel is the only way we the common masses enjoy anything from the government if not the politicians share our common patrimony amongst themselves. Before removing subsidy, government should make thinks easier by fixing up refineries, ensure stable power supply and improve transportation by providing workable rail system. All the time our government keep comparing the price of fuel in Nigerian to the price of fuel in Saudi Arabia but they don't compare the rail way and stable power being enjoyed by the Saudi's. Government should continue paying the subsidy and reduce the cost of governance. Salaries and allowance of legislators should be reduced, the office of minister of state should be collapsed and if possible we should practice a unicameral legislature by scrapping the senate. If am this is done, they will save cost

I'm sure you heard of the 114% salary increase of politicians. Politicians gives you hell while they and their children lives in eldorado

I thank the courageous Tinubu for stopping it in his first day in office. That if you like protest till forever, no going back.
Nigerians have gradually adjusted . The scam was too much.
Tinubu knows that those powerful subsidy fraudsters can do him nothing. He is never afraid of them.

Well, let's start with the fact that we are not earning enough money...our forex earnings is similar to Qatar, yet Qatar is comfortable because they have less than 2 million people, ....because we rely only on oil for most of our earnings.

That;s why subsidy savings don't reach far.

We know what to do to earn more...short term, raise our tax to gdp ratio, long term, become an exporter of manufactured goods and services.

But you don;t want taxes (and indeed because 70% of our populaiton is not able to pay the kind of tax we need, pressure is put on the remaining 30%). And you want us to keep on using imported stuff.

So we remain broke, and what little we have, we lose a lot of it to stealing and corurption.

The truth is, we are not earning enough money. Simple.

So, stop moaning about 'what they did with the savings'. We spent most of it keeping fuel cheap for a growing consumer base....because you wanted it.

Not so bro,as far as President Tinubu is concerned,for we should exercise patients,for what many other past Presidents cannot do,he just did it dogmatically and boldly!
The Yuguda of a governor is amongst the Politicians who should be ashamed,as they were there but couldn't call Buhari to order as all of them kept quite,while the Nigerian Economies and Social life and her image was going down!
To worsen things,Buhari could not even sack some if his own appointed Ministers,for Non- Performance, even where their docility was apparent. So,so terrible!

Firstly, Your country is broke because those at the helm of affairs are eating your national cake and they will continue to eat it. While they give you hell. At a time Nigeria senators was the highest paid in the world . If not for the fall of naira , the record would have remain unbroken.

Secondly, We pay alot of tax. I pay an average of 22% tax of my daily income. If you have ever set up a business you will know the heavy taxation nigerians are subject to.

FG is earning alot of money fyi.

The point about subsidy removal is that the populace won't feel the positive effect of it. They'll still share the whole money as usual, but this time we suffer the consequences. They should've left thing alone. This fuel price hike is biting

Celestine Nwankwo, the serial criminal scammer, is here to promote his begging advert scam.
You should go to your church or mosque to beg and stop using different monikers on NAIRALAND to swindle people.
You have used over 50 monikers to beg. If you are genuine, you should have been known with one moniker. Using many is a clear indication you are a fraud.
The way I see it, you'll soon get deliverance from the Devil. Keep thinking you are deceiving people. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed; covered that will not be opened.
The great day of your revelation is at hand. Be expectant, because surely it will come.
