DaLover:

What America and other countries are enjoying today is because of people who suffered, if we continue to subidize laziness we will continue to suffer forever...do not be short sighted

noblezone: This headline is not only mischievous, it is also disgusting.
Jonathan never raised the prices of petroleum products: the prices has been up and will keep going up as long as Naira is getting weaker.

The administration of Jonathan only removed subsidy! Raising school fees is not the same as stopping allowances from state government.

Subsidy was created by the cabal to loot Nigeria dry!

It is a shame that Nigerians are so poor in their mental faculties that they are rather begging for pea nuts.

God knows that Jonathan is a giant in democracy!
God knows that if I were in Jonathan's shoes as the President and commander in Chief, that I will remove the subsidy madness and dare the consequences.

The Nairaland mob and busy screaming obscenities and throwing tantrums, yet, they never raise a voice over the fact that the PIB is being frustrated in the National Assembly by the same people who are the beneficiaries of the subsidy madness.

Where is occupy Nigeria in this matter?

As far as I see it, Jonathan is ready to deal with the cabal, but Nigerians are holding him hostage.

Jonathan, try what you can and leave Nigerians alone. If only you will get wisdom now and work hard on the diplomacy of disintegration.

As for me, I have given up on Nigeria!

blackchukky: The only problem I foresee is that Nigerians would shout, complain and later adapt to the new changes, the same trend going on for years

DaLover: [size=28pt]O My fellow Nigerians, why do we inadvently conderm ourselves to to perpetual life of doom and gloom[/size]

Derugulation should mean governments gets out of the business of distributing products and competing with the business man on the downstream sector...
It should mean that people can invest in refining in country
it should mean that Nigeria should tend towards less exportation of raw crude to exportation of refined products, thus add value and jobs to the economy,
it should mean govt will cut the high overhead and recurrent expenduture spent in managing this services.
It should mean more competition in that sector...

All these thrown away because we want someone else to pay the price of crude for us?
Its a real pity

I guess I understand where you are coming from. Any right thinking person will also support subsidy removal. However, answer the following questions for me:
how has the money from the partial removal been used? How has it been utilized? I will need definite facts and figures. Who and who has been prosecuted and convicted for the previous subsidy fraud? How much is fuel in your area presently (l pay 120)? Why is Allison still heading that ministry? The president said last year that by June 2012, Nigerians will thank him for the partial subsidy removal, would you say that happened? From the way the partial removal was done and all the drama that followed, would you say an average Nigerians can still trust and support the president for total removal of subsidy knowing that justice will be done and the money realized properly used?
I await your response.

What hell is this one talking about? How has SURE-P positively influence the life of already impoverish masses?

ddippset: this man, god don really punish am well well.

DaLover:
You seem to forget that the subsidy itself is a fraud...
Our system of governance is built on providing subsidy for able bodied human beings...we have decide to take the small money we have and generally encourage the masses to wallow in laziness...and you people are indirectly defending such a system...

If subsidy did not exist...there whould be no subsidy fraud...forget the politics of SURE-P and think straight for once...
The best functions of a government are regulations, if we insist that the government should run our lives then we should be prepared to also live with the associated corruption that is involved in such sillyness.

Rhapsody!:

I have already said that I get you point. And even agree with them. But you have not answered the questions I raised. Please address them. Thank you.

benni: Just cannot understand why our leaders are so wicked and selfish,taught he was with the masses when he said he had no shoes.
I am yet to see any single tangible thing that has been achieved since the last increase in the price of PMS.Where are the mass transit buses,new refineries,roads,airport,schools etc?

Lets be pessimistic and also ask, how has the money from the telecoms licences paid been used..$285 million per operator that time....you do not cut your nose to spite your face....
its like saying because people are going to eat the $285 million, hence stop deregulation of telecoms sector and rely on Nitel....
