Rise in crude oil price is surpose to be a surplus for nigeria since we produce crude oil na abi?

Yes but the problem is that we don't refine the crude in Nigeria. The imported refined product will go up when crude oil prices go up.

You be capital Olodo. This news is not confirmed yet. However, let's even assume it is confirmed.

Where in the world is it wrong for you to make a policy which is targeted at helping the economy and then reverse or modify the policy when the outcome of the policy has certain serious effects.

This is the kind of man we want to lead us as a Nation. A Leader that wants the best for the Nation
A Leader that can make bold positive moves
A Leader that can quickly assess the impact of his policies and seek ways to make things better
A Leader that listens

I have said over and over that the problem we have in Nigeria is not anyone's mate. And Tinubu is the man that can at least build the foundation for a better Nigeria. I have always maintained the stand that some policies might be reversed and some modified depending on outcomes.

Not one Liar, Pretender and Olodo that came on live TV to say that there is nothing bad in not building infrastructure for 8 years as Governor. That Guy and the people that follow him sheepishly annoy me to the bones. How can a people be so gullible.

Enjoy your 8k monthly palliative from the master strategist ..

Subsidy is back.. you support

The good thing about eating one's words is that it doesn't make one fat.

However, this new development even if it is being considered is a red flag that President Tinubu is not as prepared for governance as he campaigned. Unfortunately, not appearing for media interactions or debate didn't help. That President Tinubu knew he would implement the removal of subsidy and floating of Naira soon after inauguration but had no plans to manage the consequences of the these major policy shift paints a scary picture about his future policies.

My suggestion is that Tinubu could go on and appoint Wale Edun the Finance minister as well as appoint his President Economic Team for the usual armchair 'economic indicators' advice. However, he should he headhunt for some young hothead economists and financial experts and place them under his office to serve as his thinktank in brainstorming on policies, creating scenarios, doing risk-benefit analyses, SWOT Analysis, etc to give him the big picture and bird eye view advantages. We need practical ideas from thinking out of box to solve our problems here rather than some textbooks stuff.

How on earth is value of Naira falling and the CBN is speaking grammar. How about rolling about plans with sincere incentives to encourage the local production and exports to cure our trade deficits. Nothing is happening in our economy at the moment. We are just selling crude oil. What about other solid natural minerals? If we share borders with Niger, are we sure we don't have uranium?


Have you heard of state capture before? The fulanis have your so called nation in a vice like grip! Instead of opening up their lands for the exploitation of their abundant solid minerals,they will rather invite western vampire firms to surreptitiously mine these minerals under the cover of boko haram and Banditry activities.........we know the game!

As for Tinubu, his battle for legitimacy seems to be driving his policies! many of which are contradictory.........He devalued the naira by allowing it to float but at the same time you pour more naira ( 500 billion palliative)into a system already awash with trillions of naira that clueless buhari borrowed ! Trust our corrupt Politicians they have cornered a huge chunk of the palliatives and as usual they all want to change their loot into forex for onward transfer to dubai .London etc Inflation is in full bloom now .........temporary subsidy will never bring the prices down again!

WhisperedNoise:
Tinubu is clueless. He is not a leader. Imagine removal of subsidy without precautionary measures, now he wants to reintroduce the subsidy he swore never to reintroduce. What he wants to do now is paracetamol after headache, because inflation has gone up with the original price hike, so even if PMS is resubsidized, it won't guarantee lower costs of goods and services.

He has bastardized the dollar rate too. Unemployment has shot up astronomically. Inflation is more than 50% for many goods.

Despite this man's flaws and shortcomings, his foot soldiers will still come online and praise him as the best thing after sliced bread. Over 2k daily wage. Very sad. The same man who said "na statistics we go chop?"

They'll soon troop out to defend their ruler, lord and personal saviour: IconicR, TemplarLandry, Moh247, Helineus etc etc. Your clueless leader has spoken. Oya defend nonsense again.

Anyone still supporting these people all in the name of tribal politics should know they’re accomplice in destroying this country, why would you all think Tinubu will perform better as a president after Buhari 8yrs rules, if Tinubu have a better ideas of governing the country he would have share such with Buhari in order for his political party to pilot the nation affairs to a greater height, most of us aren’t patriotic people in this country otherwise we shouldn’t be looking for our own tribe and religious to be in power there should be inclusiveness of every citizen into the country governing system that’s how things work Buhari appointed people with zero knowledge of how to govern a country the system still continues because it’s same political ideology that runs throughout all APC members from top to bottom none of them ready to work they’re out for looting and enriching themselves

Re: Tinubu Considering ‘Temporary Subsidy’ On Petrol by adebanjiso: 9:17pm On Aug 15, 2023
The news that President Tinubu is considering a "temporary subsidy" on petrol is a welcome development for many Nigerians. The removal of the subsidy in May 2023 had led to a sharp rise in petrol prices, which has put a strain on household budgets and businesses. A temporary subsidy would help to ease the burden on consumers and give the government time to find a more sustainable solution to the problem of rising fuel prices.

It is important to note that a temporary subsidy is not a long-term solution. It would only be a stop-gap measure to help Nigerians cope with the current economic situation. The government needs to find a way to reduce its dependence on imported fuel and develop its own domestic refining capacity. This would help to stabilize fuel prices and make them more affordable for Nigerians in the long run.

In the meantime, a temporary subsidy would be a much-needed relief for many Nigerians. It would help to protect them from the worst effects of rising fuel prices and give them some breathing space until the government can find a more permanent solution.

I also want to add that India is a good example of a country that has successfully implemented a temporary fuel subsidy. In 2022, the Indian government introduced a temporary subsidy on petrol and diesel in response to rising global oil prices. The subsidy helped to keep fuel prices down and prevented a spike in inflation. The government eventually phased out the subsidy in 2023, but it was a successful measure in the short term.

I hope that President Tinubu will consider the Indian model when making a decision about whether or not to introduce a temporary subsidy on petrol in Nigeria. It is a good way to help Nigerians cope with rising fuel prices without having to commit to a long-term subsidy that could be unsustainable.

We don't have problems, as in plural. We have just one problem, and that's corruption. It has tainted us and everything we do. Our leaders now consider running away from it to facing it.

PS if you believe the subsidy removal is all that there is to our current inflation problems then you have no idea how world economics work....cause for your mind we are insulated from external factors......
Just compare the prices of every service and commodity in Nigeria today with that of May 29th this year.
Subsidy removal might not be the only factor, but that's major factor.

To bring back fuel subsidy will be a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. The government should be making LAWS to scrap ALL subsidies and price controls and also selling off all public owned and /or controlled companies, especially those owned by the Federal Government....including bridges, airports, hospitals and universities and schools of every kind. If owning ANYTHING is allowed for government, let it be State and local governments.

Establish or complete a biometric register of ALL Nigerians.

Abolish the Land Use Act and revert all lands to the tribes and people.

Abolish all income tax, both corporate and individual. Implement a small VAT and fixed property SALE tax on assets such as cars and boats and land and quoted shares.

OR

Implement a small, slightly progressive and FLAT income tax with no exemptions or exceptions.

Basically make any income taxes small, no more than 10% TOTAL and inclusive of Federal, State and LGA.

FLOAT THE NAIRA immediately...anyone can sell their forex to whomsoever they wish at whatever price.

Seriously study and figure out a way to drastically reduce money supply. Either adopt the US DOLLAR or Bitcoin or set up an immutable formula for the CBN to follow in printing money. Any money printed will be divvied up and distributed directly and equally to ALL Nigerians. Or maybe Nigerians who wish should be entitled to borrow from the CBN at prevailing interest rate. Just something to stop inflationary expansion of money supply. It can be done.

Do all the above and Nigeria will become a prosperous middle income country within 12 years. Nigeria needs radically FREE MARKETS, nothing else can make the country productive and rich.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
