I was suprise yesterday when President Goodluck Jonathan was addresing the press after a church service in Abuja where the president openly said that his country men should prepare for hardship. Using his words "Nigerians should prepare for hardship but it won't be too tough". Are these the best words that the CinC have for the nation after subsidy removal? I thought he said subsidy removal is in the interest of common man ? Why then should we prepare for hardship?

I'm sure the fools around clapped for him when he made that comment.Jonathan is just making buhari look like a super man.

About time the necessary sacrifices were made.
Not a bad thing in my humble opinion.
Nigerians need to learn a thing or two about relying on oil.
Hausas should go back to growing peanuts, tending to cows! Begging in public on their butts without limbs!
Igbo? Kidnapping! Moda-Napping! Fada-Napping! 419! Drugs! Local ashawoism!
Yorubas? International ODU! Drugs! Ritualism! Local ashawoism. Champions in widow/widowerhood! Pastoral slapping!
Binis? Kidnapping! International Ashawoism! Juju worshipping with boiled eggs and palm oil-stained calabashes with porridge and cassava all over every gate to every compound in Edo state!
Middle Belt? Public drunkeness and delinquency!
Deltan pipe-line vandalism and oil bunkering!Local ashawoism!
Calabar? Witch burning. Househelps! Relief pitchers in Ogas' and Madams' beds for husbands and wives!

. . . and so on and so forth!

Judging from his statement, there is nothing good coming out of this subsidy removal. Prepare for hardship?

If his intention is to impose hardship on nigerians who voted 4 him. he shd get set 4 divine judgement. Vengeance! !! !!

Why not cut down the cost of running the government too ?

BlackBaron:

Why not cut down the cost of running the government too ?

this is my suggestion for so long. Why must we suffer for them to have their excess million sharing formula still intact. Fuel subsidy removal is just to help the government officials to have more money to loot.

Shebi na Jona una vote for, no be PDP?

Is the subsidy removal not subjected to approval of the National Assembly? They are on recess presently and the subsidy has been removed. Has the removal been approved before they went on recess or the president is just doing this on his on? NNPC mega stations sells at 139 while private marketers sells at 141. God help us in this country.
