Koolmexxi: The GEJ led government tried to remove fuel subsidy in January 2012 and Nigerians resisted the move largely because they felt the government was insincere and was only going to pass on hardship to Nigerians by allowing fuel prices to increase by almost 50%. The government then said they would introduce palliatives to cushion the effect of the subsidy removal. They introduced Sure-P, promised mass transit buses and even said they would try to get refineries working. But how well did they do any of these. The main reason Nigerians kicked against fuel subsidy removal was because there was a lack of trust. All the GEJ led government needed to do was win the trust of Nigerians by taking sincere actions. Now ask yourself, if the FG then had used the two years between 2012-2014 to rigorously and sincerely put all the palliatives they promised in place to ensure that if subsidy is eventually removed, Nigerians would not complain as much as they did in 2012, and they had carried out mass enlightenment to educate the populace about the fuel subsidy issue even to the grassroots and win over more converts to the subsidy removal side, wouldn't it have been possible to remove the subsidy say at the end of 2014? If they had spent half the funds they spent on the media bashing of Buhari prior to the last elections to educate the uninformed about the long-term benefits of fuel subsidy removal maybe it would have been removed long before now. Mind you, the same FG reduced fuel prices from N97 to N87 in January 2015 due to crashing oil prices. I can't blame Occupy Nigeria. The FG under any leadership including Buhari's government must learn to carry the citizenry along when introducing policies that may affect them adversely short term or long term. If I'm to tell my wife to endure and drink garri for a better tomorrow, I must be sincere enough to show her my plan towards achieving that better tomorrow. I can't just tell her from today you will be drinking garri, when I'm busy enjoying isi ewu and heineken in one corner. 1 Like |

RockMaxi: Most people have labelled you a hypocrite, but they are wrong. I've gone through virtually all the comments on this thread to see if you will come out to defend what you've just typed but to no avail. What you're is actually someone who is bored and craves cheap attention but couldn't get it at your resident, so you decided to come on here, all with your ignorance of the said topic, to comment balderdash! Read up or research more on fuel subsidy, please. |
