What would d strike achieve? On d long run market forces will force a downward review of price, why not just be patient? Plus d FG is already planning some palliatives to mitigate the effects of the increase.

haywire07:

cole265:


That is exactly what I wona know. Is subsidy removed or not??

Joarams:


The debate is beyond SUBSIDY. Subsidy is when government pays petrol marketers (filling station retailers) to sell at a regulated price despite the prevailing market price. We were never supposed to be in that permanent state. The government was supposed to constantly recalculate pump price both upwards and downwards within the subsidy regime (using rules of the Petrol Equalization Fund) therefore resulting in savings for the government in times of low oil prices and losses in times of high oil prices.

Today, we're in the not-so-different era of PRICE MODULATION I.e. not complete regulation. Which is why it has been termed GUIDED DEREGULATION by some analysts. Government will use more realistic price calculators like exchange rate factors to determine the best pump price (or a price band) for retailers and this is expected to be done more frequently (I believe quarterly now). Government will NOT pay subsidy to anyone for any interim losses, so at such times (prior to price recalculations, in case of sharp market fluctuations) citizens will witness speculation, hoarding and the other market gimmicks which are realities in any real (imperfect) market.

Subsidy or no Subsidy life goes on

No two ways about it... Ministers looking for 20m houses are free to resign, unnecessary convoy for airport shuttle should be a thing of the past, Bubu has no reason to hold on to those jets, if he isn't getting fair market value, he should lobby some rich Nigerians to lease them...

The belt tightening should be across board not only the poor masses that didn't benefit beyond the ordinary when the 100$+ P.B Crude price bazaar was going on..

P.S... As for NASS cutting down, forget it, it's never going to happen...

If NLC were really serious, they would pressure NASS to open the Budget to public scrutiny, Even Ben Bruce that blew hot air about making public their earnings has developed amnesia about that promise!

There is no time tht would be right to stop subsidizing fuel, NLC, they r very senseless, why do they hope to achieve with d strike, d govt has told u d reason for d new price n promised it will go down n 8months, instead to them to dialog with d govt, as per mayb increase n salaries for workers, so pple can adjust a li2 to d new price, they r saying revert it, even if u revert it now, later it will still come up...smtimes I wonder if dz NLC guys reason at al...... They want to tke us back, govt cNt afford to pay subsidy not when d price of crude has fallen to were it is, d activities n d ND n massive corruption involved n subsidy..... GEJ was right, but GEJ made a mistake by waking up one Jan 1 after Xmas celebratn to tell us Tht subsidy has been scrapped, when d there was nothing wrong..... Thts y we kicked against it then, but now it has to go... Say no to NLC strike

tuko75:
Are we not in this country when NEPA was privatized, followed by the political benefit attached to that. Now, are we really benefit the privatization of NEPA? Any political promises attached to the removal of fuel subsidy is another promises that will fall on dry soil with no germination at the end of the day. Is high time Nigerians learn from what will benefit them than playing into the hands of politicians who take advantage them at all time.

Infinitikoncept:

If it doesn't go down in eight months nko?
Cox d last jibe BRF threw is yet to improve, prepaid meters are still missing in most homes that applied & all we get are promise

henryuzor:
NLC totally got it wrong.....they should have accepted the new price of 145 and ask for increment of minimum wage...it is when the govt now refuses to increase minimum wage that a strike action should have been called out and you would have seen the massive support Nigerians would have given them

TonyeBarcanista:
Nigerians must endure Buhari and kick him out in 2019

saintmark88:


If it doesn't, then we would hold d govt responsible, but not not to give it a try, is like sitting on a keg of gun powder, it will definitely explode

Brooklynsouth:
Whether zombies like it or not nigeria must be on total lock down ........ No light,close all petrol station,shut down the airport so bubu won't travel ,shut down the seaport and restrict movement in nigeria these must come to past iseeeee nonsense GEJ was right afterall

Infinitikoncept:

TonyeBarcanista:
Nigerians must endure Buhari and kick him out in 2019

saintmark88:


Simple!!! boot them out in 2019
