I saw various posts on the social media, criticising federal government's reduction of gasoline(PMS or Petrol) pump price from N97 to N87. More worrisome is the fact that some of our youths join the bandwagon in the criticism.

I wonder why we have some youths of our country who can not make use of their brains to ponder on issues that would further enrich the country. Present day youths are being tossed around by the older ones and sometimes, by illiterates. ‎

Drivers paid an average of $2.2021 a gallon for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps of recent in the US (do some ‎confirmation) 1US gallon = 3.7854ltrs‎ ‎$2.2021 = N398.58 (@ exchange rate of N181/$) Therefore, 1gallon = N398.58 ÷ ‎3.7854ltrs = N105.29/ltr in the US

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, after taking into consideration, landing costs and other expenses, it is N85/ltr for the same litre of gasoline yet people are ignorantly ranting on social media and elsewhere. Between Nigeria and the US, which is better? What has happened to some present day youths in my dear country, Nigeria‎? Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan has indeed shown that he has the interest of Nigerians at heart.‎

Summary of all you've written is that we should vote for GEJ abi? Sorry to burst ur bubble. GEJ is soo gone thanks to people like okupe, abati, fayose, metuh, deziani and co.

same people clamoring for low pump price are same people that will occupy naija if subsidy is removed today but then you can't ask for such low prices without deregulating the petroleum products market and allowing the forces of demand and supply determine products prices and thus private refineries can come on board

yes. I am ready to occupy naija for subsidy to be remove but first the federal government should repair and build more refineries then they should remove the so called subsidy and let demand and supply determine the price of fuel. its a shame that we are the only OPEC member that import fuel because we don't have operating refineries

SMH... where do you get your news from? I won't wanna go too deep into this but for the pump price alone, it's about $1.89 per gallon. Besides, the economy stability here in the US is way better than Nigeria so I see no valid point made from your post yet

Exchange rate is 188.67

I indeed paid $2.29 yesterday in California, I'm pretty sure it will be less than $2 in Texas. And in California that includes almost 50cents per gallon on taxes so the effective price is $1.79, do you care to do your calculations again?

The question that I have of you is why are you comparing Nigeria, a 3rd world country, to the US? Why not compare to another depressed country like Ghana or Cameroon?

Juxtapose the earnings and tell me which one is expensive

in the US, it depend on the hour you work. if you work less, you might not even make up to $200 in a week. it depends on your willingness to work hard.

Your brain needs vulcanizing. What's the relationship between minimum wage and pump price of petroleum product ? How much do you pay as tax compared to a US citizen. No wonder most of you are poor because you prefer the Cuban Communism type of governance where Government becomes Father Christmas. I do not even know why Jonathan cares, if I was him, I will allow you people to taste Buhari's killer machine for just 6 months.

$2.50 actually equals N471.67

California minimum wage is $9 x 8 hours equals $72.00, of course Uncle Sam will then proceed to bend you over but I understand that they are charging tax now in Nigeria.

From what I read he seems dumber than the youths he accused of not being able to make good use of their brains.

Or should we also compare the standard of living and the activities of the US government with that of Nigerians and Nigeria?

Depends on the hours you work. If you stay in a state that has minimum wage of $7.5 and you work 8 hours a day (8am - 5pm) you will make $60 a day sans taxes. If you stay in places with higher minimum wage you will make higher.
