Those that wanted to crusify Gej and Okonjo iwealla when they asked for removal of subsidy. Can u see who the real enemies are now?

If subsidy was removed back then, by now petrol wont be scarce and it would not be more than 120 now. But today, we gladly by for 300-400 if we see.

Those that brought u food and drinks during the protest are the ones ensuring u pay with ur blood.

They are the reason for all this mess.

We are still here and do not regret our actions. Corruption is the problem and not subsidy. From next week we will start knowing the source of the 3 trillion spent by PDP in the election. The marketers will also explain where they got d cash contributed towards PDP campaign since they claim they are being owed.

Sibrah:
Where are those who called the protesters Parasite?
Today the intl. Price for crude has halved but a deregulated diesel still sells for same price in Nigeria. There was corruption and Nigerians weren't ready to pay for the laxity of our leaders, they could read the 'stealing is not corruption' attitude of the leaders long ago. OP should go sit down.

baralatie:

should their be subsidy or no subsidy!

If corruption is eliminated to a large extent, we wouldn't be paying this price for subsidy.

You and I saw from the reports of the HoR,
which was eventually rubbished by Jonathan
himself by setting up Farouk (who by the way,
due to his greed, took the bait) Lawan using one
of the major beneficiaries of the fraud indicted
in the report, Otedola, how names of ships
which had long ago formed coral for sea
creatures surfaced in our books claiming to
have imported fuel!! In other cases, we saw
multiple duplication of claims. Do you think had
Jonathan not played posum and pampered
these crooks we would have been where we are
today??

How come despite the corruption in previous
administrations, none had to grapple with such
perversion of the subsidy regime by crooks in
high places?? If their templates for monitoring
helped in keeping such crooks at bay and
maintaining subsidy expenditures at sustainable
levels, why did Jonathan do away with such
templates

I was one of those who supported and actively participated in the protests. So what??

The question any right thinking Nigerian should be asking is: What necessitated the geometric rise in subsidy expenditure in an election year? Was there a corresponding percentage rise in
consumption/demand of the products??

All through history, we never paid that much, all of a sudden after jonathan became the
president, the amount went over the roof and
you imagine no one should ask questions.

Is that how you imagine you would run your
Biafra if it comes to fruition?? Are you folks even
thinking at all??

baralatie:

the claims of been owed is not the problem.


the big gain they are playing is
1.continue the subsidy or not continue the subsidy!

Sometimes you just have to shake your head at the headless nincompoops that Nigeria is filled with.

I would support the transportation of millions of silly Nigerians into the Ocean yearly if it would reduce the number of stupid people we have in our midst.

Let me pretend you have any iota of sense.

At least there was partial subsidy removal of up to 50% since 2012.

What was the partial money generated from its removal used for in more than 3 years?

What can we show for that revenue?

Dumbledores like you don't have the capacity to think, so I don't expect any responsible response from you nay the usual rhetorics.

Xetima:


After all your story, you still missed the point. Removal means that government has no business in fuel business. What OP is saying is that had the removal been made in 2012, you would not be suffering today. We all paid exorbitantly when GSM was introduced, but today it is as cheap as pure water. I hope you will protest now that Buhari will do the same thing GEJ suggested 3 years ago.

IT ONLY SHOWS THAT YOUR LEADERS ARE NOT VISIONARY AFTERALL

The answer to your question will only be answered when the mystery surrounding that sector is exposed. When we know the true position of things, eg actual product refined in the country, real quantity consumed in d country, the deficit, cost of importation, cost deficit with pump price etc. We can den collectively decide to remove or not to. Not that a certain person will simply tell them to add 10 naira and remit same to him. Until then.

TRUTHTOPOWER:

That is not the whole truth, with all due respect. Deregulation is by its very name an invitation to oppresive irregularities. we are not talking about onions and pepper that can be left to market forces. the ideal term is liberalization as we have in the banking industry. The current price of oil demonstrates that removal of subsidy cabal will only create a marketers' cartel. either way corruption is the problem. Is govt subsidizing cement? why is the price going up? Fundamentals of demand and supply in oil industry involves transparent liberalization of the process, that is why we have Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Act. What does it take to import? what does it take to tank? what are the incidental cost? Who qualifies to import? who verifies? What is the arbitration process? When you keep all these process in the dark how can any other policy work in complete anarchy? Total for instance will rather refine crude than import products.

Think about it: will deregulation open a floodgate of supply? No. so it remains a sellers market. if it doest how about standard. Every sector currently enjoys arbitrary price regime, tarrifs, interest, profits name it.
Cartelism is every where. go to that airport and buy 75cl Eva water it is 3times the actual price. Why? it is sold by 'concessionaires' in a confined ' environment. Experience has repeatedly shown that market forces does nothing in Nigeria except creation of cartels who device means making spurious profits at the expense of the consumer.

Sibrah:
It all depends of the reputation of the government in charge. If issue of systemic corruption can be tackled by the sitting government then subsidy can go. That's to say If for example Buhari admin is ready to face the challenges of Diesel selling for same rate it sold for in 2012 Jan, when crude price was more than double it is now, then he can remove. If not removal of subsidy will only be a licence for the marketers to form a cabal and be the new government of fuel.

with a 50% shortfall in revenue ,how will the govt pay for oil marketers and their miscellaneous costs?

If the subsidy had been removed today we would have been buying at around N147/Litre. Diesel subsidy was removed and it still sells for same price, that proves Nigerians were right to oppose the subsidy removal.

fr3do:


be positive!
The thing that stopped an onion and palm oil cartel from forming can also cripple the oil cabal.

But wouldn't the product still be readily available as at now instead of these sufferings?..You opposed and protested your way into slavery.
