Pardon my intrusion, but while reading your reply to the person you quoted I couldn't help but ask;

N230,000 a month? A month!? I presume from you being 35 years old as you said, your daughter should be in primary school or junior secondary at most, you mean for a 3 months term in a primary school you pay around N700,000? And in a year you pay around N2,000,000 just for fees? Is this school here in Nigeria?

I doff my hat for you bro!

A quick example of h its enriching certainly people, they just announce one day tha , new price would would effect. Mind you t marketers already collected product that was subsidised, so I got PMS at say N84 and expected to sell at 87 but now I'm selling at 145, that's a 61 naira profit. Even if I only sold 33,000 liters that's still over 2million extra.

Whilst I recognize that it was a one time profit its still fantastic, and also note that whenever the price is reduced that they will insist o finishing their products before reducing the pump price.
That's natural occurrence which cannot be prevented. Not like deliberately enriching anyone.

If anything, removing subsidy actually seeks to stop enriching the marketers.

Why will Petroleum worker and electricity workers declear strike? They have been on strike for long. If they are not on strike, do u have light and fuel in your area? It makes no sence for them to declear a strike while they don't have anything to offer.

This strike is already a flop, may be it may succeed in SE/SS but in the north and SW Business is going on without hitches, infact the NLC guys are afraid for their lives here in Kaduna as some people said if they should come to their office they will beat them

You are just probably a single, mummy's boy who is being fed by parents. If you have been fueling your car at 4,200 for 50 liters, and all of a sudden you are doling out N7,250 for the same 50 liters, you will not say what you are saying. People should 'suffer now so their children will enjoy'. Does your government not have the wit to create other sources of wealth in a country that is so endowed? When I hear this 'suffer now enjoy later' non.sense I just sorry for the ignorance in people. Are the children and family of those increasing the price of fuel suffering along with you? Gibberish!
help me tell dem ooo. befre d hike i fill my tank for 6k plus i.e 73 ltrs tank now i fill it for over 10k nd hw long will it last me in dis lagos traffic not to talk of generator cos light has been terrible lately. those dat wanna tell demselves d truth knws dat dis 145/ltr is wicked nd d average nigerian cannot cope. the earlier we support a reduction the better, no one is saying dey shld bring back d corrupt subsidy regime bt after removal of the subsidy it shldnt sell beyond 105 naira

It's now foolish right? But was sensible in 2012. That's where we are today cos of people like you.


We opposed d fuel increase under GEJ because it was d right thing to do. d economy was in good shape wit d govt having a hefty forex balance frm crude selling at record prices. All we witnessed was looting & scandals on an unprecedented scale. d current govt was forced into dis because d forex balance is very low thereby making it to exchange at record prices & we ar still importing fuel.
I voted in 2011 for Jonathan but based on d level of corruption in dat govt, i could not in good conscience & in d national interest vote 4 him again in 2015 despite d fact dat i hav more in common wit him - I'm Christian & a southerner. In d light of recent revelations, I'm convinced i did what was right.

Guys are funny men.

People are now saying Nigerians aren't striking because they trust buhari, like really

So you trust 350 naira to a dollar

Do you guys realize that it now takes N350,000 just to get a thousand dollars These are real issues that are affecting people.

These class of people would still trust buhari even if a dollar gets to N500. That would mean it would take N500,000 just to get a thousand dollars shocked

Let that sink in angry
What is the gain in being a zombie in these times Fighting for the government when at the end of the day, their policies may further impoverish you

Even if you think you are poor now, what happens when you can't even afford that garri anymore


About this issue of petrol price protest, we are not even sure if the subsidy has been removed or if its due to currency value.

If its subsidy and you are supporting no subsidy now, what would happen when the price of oil rises to $80 in the int market

Would you really be prepared to pay N250 per liter That is 5 liters for N1,250. 20 liters for your gen at N5,000.

Then would you now make a u-turn to support subsidy

If it's about currency value, then why is NNPC also selling at 145 when they should get the dollar at the official rate

If even the NNPC can't get the dollar at the official rate, then who is getting the dollar at the official rate? cause I know I'm not!!

If 90% of the country can't get the dollar at the official rate, then what is the point of the official rate

These are questions needing answers, scenarios mostly bad that need to be avoided. This is not the time to be a zombie just cause you think you're lifeisnt worth anything. You are worth something my dear zombie friends, so question your government for the benefit of your future and that of the country's future.
