una allow d full removal of subsidy? Gej saw d coruption goin on there but Nigerians(d most uneducated african country) so blinded by d few nairas dat wil leave their pocket and d media hype sponsored by oil marketers...couldnt see beyond their nose!
/
Subsidy was partially removed. Can you point to one thing that was achieved with the money other than bribery for a failed campaign?. Oil price is now half the price it was and Nigerians are still paying premium prices. Why is it all of a sudden after the election jamboree, the FG cannot afford to make payments?

When FG is crying that they are helpless even though GEJ claims to be C-in-C, what can ordinary folks do? Cabal this, cabal that....No cabal should be stronger than the FG. So all these hues are just smokescreen.

There you have it

we don't appreciate the truth when it is said. the woman has come out to say the challenges FG has to put up with these oil marketers.


you all have been looking for carbals. The cabals are the marketers. This is the reason why we need to push for subsidy removal but nigerians are not ready for it.

We eat our cakes and still want it and when that doesn't happen, we blame government and keep shouting corruption.

Bros u ar wrong. It's actually a cartel of PDP fronts, cronies, govt sponsors & scions of PDP chieftains.
WHAT MOST NIGERIANS DON'T KNOW IS DAT D SUBSIDY BAZAAR TOOK A TURN 4 D WORSE WHEN AHMADU ALI BECAME PPPRA CHAIRMAN. Prior
to his appointment in 2009 there were just 49 importers. Ahmadu Ali single-handedly raised d number frm 49 importers to 140 between 2009 & 2011 & d subsidy payment ballooned frm N421.5b in 2009 to 2.19 trillion in 2011. One of those arraigned by EFCC in d subsidy scam was AHMADU ALI'S SON, Mamman Nasir Ali who runs Nasaman Oil Services. Another is Mahmud Tukur, who runs Eterna Oil and Gas Plc & is d SON OF ALHAJI BAMANGA TUKUR, former PDP chairman.

dis monumental rape of our national patrimony is true to character of d utterly corrupt, despicable & dysfunctional PDP's way of allocating import licences & sharing our national wealth among cronies, fronts, govt sponsors & party chieftains.

I think the only way out of this is to remove completely the subsidy, the same was done for diesel, we got used to it and diesel scarcity became a thing of the past. If this incoming government can channel all that money into fixing our refineries and building more, we will be just fine.

This is one of the best comment I've read this week. You see! The Nigerians are even the problem, some don't even know the meaning of subsidy removal and how if can grow the economy and shut-out cabals, all they know best is to shout "let the president resign"

My fear for this new government that will rule for the next four years are hypocrate, they are the same people who destructively criticize this current government most especially on d isssue of subsidy. They never supported any good decision by this current govt, all they do is to criticize without providing any solution

God help us!

Be disappointed in yourself!!!

Were they not all aware that a handful motley of corporate and individual rogues holding up the nation was a probable aftereffect of marketers pulling the strings in the supply chain?

What have they learnt the past 3 or more decades from this type of supply process?

Why did they not have a back up plan against an occurrence such as this?

Why are our refineries not working to full capacity?

Why are they owing them that much money?

Fix the refineries then take out subsidy (logic, good but for 6 yrs our GEJ could not consider it)

Take out subsidy without fixing refineries (bad move but one that GEJ loved) The fact that we have been faced with the same wahala for years does not mean that we should be condemned to be with it forever. This govt totally messed up on this count....

+The problem is the subsidy. Remove the subsidy and the cartel will eveporate.

I am sure there is no diesel scarcity. Its because that fuel has been free of that subsidy bondage.

Nigerians will continue to cry as long as they want this petrol subsidy.
Gej tried to remove the subsidy in January 2012 the marketers played a fast one by sponsoring occupy Nigeria with the collaboration of the opposition party.
Now people are suggesting the subsidy should be removed. Is our eyes cleared now?

[size=15pt]Fuel scarcity is political!

In other words it is deliberately made scarce as a way of extorting extra money from general population.

When a govt is serious about solving a fuel scarcity crisis that is threatening to grind the country to a halt it would put it as a high priority and announce emergency measures to get fuel supply raised.

I may have missed but I am quite sure that the government has done nothing at all.

All GEJ needs to do is order fuel marketers or those hanging on to the fuel to release the fuel to filling stations with immediate effect or lose their license and face arrest and jail sentence.

Who created the oil marketers? PDP govt of Thief Obasanjo .

The same PDP are telling us that they are held to ransom by the fuel marketers.

It is political and corruption - nothing more!

This woman is just beyond ridiculous. So we should clap for your administration for bringing subsidy down to N970B from N2.3T, when we should ideally be asking you guys how subsidy went from less than N400B in 2009 to N2.3T in 2011.

“[s]You see that the amount we have been paying year by year diminished substantially to about N971 billion a year down from the N 2.3 trillion of 2011[/s]. We brought it from N 2.3 trillion to about N 971 trillion that has been in the budget each year.

shocked shocked Thought they said it went from N300B to N1.4T in 2011?!!!

What is this N2.3T again?! This people just throwing around figures like we'r baboons (scratch that, you can't even get away with this with baboons).

Trust me the fuel marketers were not set up with any constitutional legal or due process - that is just the fact of Thief Obasanjo administration whose brief from his American puppeteers was to corrupt the system and make it less transparent to allow them to feed fat on corruption.

These bunch of corrupt oil marketers would have to sue Nigeria fro their jail cells.
