From the information reaching me, the cost of transportation has instantly increased as a result of the fuel subsidy removal. I heard that the transportation from enugu to lagos is now N17,000 making it impossible for some people who went for xmas to go back to lagos. Pls share the cost of inter state transport for people traveling to know so as to effectively plan their jorney around. Thanks

A month's salary to travel one way from East to West - some serious salary revisions will be neede to cushion the effects from removing the subsidy.

for the removal of subsidy, minimum wage must be increased to N36k. Chikena. Or else, no amount of security vote or mossad can protect the government. 1 month is even too much to suffer the effects. The government with all the corruption is simply incapable to making this work. I am happy because this is the catalyst for a new Nigeria. The looters and theives have finally outdone themselves this time. Instead of cutting their salaries they will rather dip their hands into the pockets of the already struggling and dying Nigerian.

May God help us.

Can you see the stupidity of this government, they can't even afford to pay 18000 and by the time Labour have finnished with them this year, minimum wage will be substantially more. This is where our subsidy savings is going to go to . . . but don't worry we'll find that out at the end ofthe budget year. . . and we've not even started talking about the devaluation the naira will go through this year. . . to think any secondary school economist could have predicted this. But i bet you they will be blaming everyone else, including the pope for their failings.

its a shame. . .

heard its 30k Lagos to Kano

Then stay in your village! Must you go back to Lagos?. . .or you can simply use Aboki-nama trailer/lorry, very cheap and affordable sweet ride. Welcome to the year 2012!!

Time to trek

experts:

May God help us.

God is not going to help, only you can help yourselves. Stop deceiving yourself

Trekking becomes easier with legedes benz or foot wagen but dont forget to buy sachet water while on the move.

You're assuming that anybody in Abuja gives a rat's äss. Jonathan is too daft to understand anything as complex as secondary school economics and the people pulling his strings only care about getting more money to spend on big government contracts.

And those calling for another increase in minimum wage should remember that only a tiny percentage of Nigerian collect salaries from government.how is higher minimum wage going to help the farmers and private sector workers? Let's no decieve ourselves.

If you have idea on cost of transportation to and from the following places, pls share with us.

Lagos
Abuja
Porthacourt
Kano
Kaduna
Kwara
Ondo
Ekiti
Osun
Sokoto

etc

Thanks

‎​Enugu to Lagos by bus now N17,000Ph Τ̲̅ȍ Maiduguri Is 22,000,Jos Τ̲̅ȍ Lagos Is 19,000. Mehn some ppl can't even come back from village

Thanks

any update?

I thought the inter-state commercial buses mostly used diesel? What has the fuel subsidy removal got to do with that? That's the problem that our stewpid 'leaders' do not realise. Ordinary citizens would be exploited mercilessly - even by those that have nothing to do with fuel price. I foresee pandemic poverty of unprecedented proportions in the days ahead. But of course, the cowardly and docile lot called Nigerians would suffer in silence rather than do something about it.

goin 2 work dis mornin
i paid double
no rooms 4 bikes anymore
so i v 2 wake up earlier enuf 2 get bus
so sad

From CMS to Ikeja is now 200naira

My cousin who is supposed to go back to lagos from enugu called and said the tfare is now 17k.
She's going to fly instead.

There's a fb roup opposed to this farce. Check it out
http://www./306951516016221/307304045980968/

My neighbour paid 250 from ikeja to cms yesterday.
Wats happenin in dis country's really sad. There's nothin democratic about dis government at all.
Like someone said, even a dentist numbs ur pain before pullin ur tooth out. Wat has d govt put in place to cushion d effect of d subsidy removal?
Power supply is not constant, roads are bad, no salary increment, state of security's terrible etc(i could go on & on).
Even my landlord had to
rescind his decision to increase d rent when he heard dat subsidy's been removed.
I sometimes wonder if GEJ & his team actually read people's reactions on sites like this.
God help us.

Bus drivers are in business of making money now!

Many people would rather fly. Aero from Enugu to Lag is cheaper than 17k.

As usual we are docile Nigerians and we will swallow any pill.
Everybody is saying 'God help us', unfortunately, He won't, that's why he gave us brains.

GEJ appears to have got this one wrong this time around; the people are really angry.

At the very least just multiply the former rate by 2 which is not so bad giving that the petrol cost is much more than that.

I paid a #150 to a place I normally pay #50 to.

How much is lagos to ibadan o. . . Cos i wanna go visit my fiancèè.
