modath, Keyamo et al will soon come and tell us that it is not subsidy, it is recovery. After claiming in 2015 that there is nothing like subsidy and cost of fuel should be N40.

That's how only two people (plus Mr Integrity) are sitting on top of 1.4 trillion naira annual expenditure with zero transparency. Money that isn't even inside the N8 trillion budget. If they are not stealing money, why are they covering it?

When Atiku wins, Baru will go on exile. Corrupt hypocrites.

-Lord


I don't know why you Nigerians keep on allwing yourselves to be decieved.

Yes, the government claimed subsidy was removed....except that they were STILL setting the prices.

If subsidy had been removed, the price setting would not have been in the hands of government....it would have been in the hands of the independent marketers.....meaning fuel would have been costing N200 per liter and above by now.

The thing is, the reason why APC is still payign subsidy, and why Atiku will still pay subsidy, and keep on paying it...is because Nigerians don't want high fuel prices. They would rather keep the subsidy corruption monster alive in return for low oil prices.

Some of you people even want Bubu to make it N87 per liter again.

So stop screaming about corruption....because you Nigerians dont want the solution. You want cheap fuel....so keep on paying for cheap fuel.

APC and PDP are just lying to us...and we are buying it because we hate the bitter truth. We need to deregulate...and we should have done so since 1992!

Subsidy under-recovery? Unaccounted funds not included in the budget Unimaginable corruption is still ongoing in the NNPC.Nigeria is doomed.Atiku/Obi.

So what do you want Atiku and Obi to do

Remove subsidy? (Which is the right thing to do by the way)

You don't want subsidy gone...and you know it. You may cry about Bubu spending billions on subsidy (like I do) but until I hear Atiku say that he is going to deregulate....I am going to assume that the status quo ante will remain under a PDP government.

You want to end this....then talk to your senator about DEREGULATION.

Yes, it isn't because APC does not want to lose power.

When GEJ increased fuel price from N65 to N140 and then to N97...some people used that as their reason for voting himout.

The truth is, NO NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT WANTS TO REMOVE FUEL SUBSIDY COMPLETELY.

They would do partial removal, hope for things to get better....until the economy makes the new price limit unrelaitic.

Whereas if Bubu was remoiving subsidy completely.....it won't be NNPC controlling prices...it would be the marketers. And since most of the fuel we use in this country is imported (and even if it was not, the way we are going...most refining capacity in this country is going to be private)....prices will go up to N200 and above.

Meaning...what happened in 2012 would be child's play.There would be revolution....and they know it.

I've seen this game played several times since millitary rule...and even during civilian rule.

Better to keep subsidy , with all the attendant corruption in place...and with the way it shortchanges marketers and promotes massive job loss....than deregulation and possible revolution.

But the truth is, if I was head of state...I would deregulate...and watch as foreign investment flows in, and jobs are created...because that means that marketers would be making a profit. Problem is...benefits take time to manifest...and Nigerians aint patient.

Dis ryt here proves d thieves in power simply sidelined those in d business of importing fuel and took over d business demselves while claiming to have put a stop to d same business of subsidy claims...
Exactly. The minister of Petroleum, Buhari and NNPC counterparts are the sole importer of petroleum products to avoid paying subsidy to marketers. They fixed the price of fuel at 145 naira when the actual cost was less than 40 naira per liter when the crude oil price fell to 38 dollar per barrel. Now the price of crude oil has skyrocketed to 80 dollar per barrel, we will start hearing of subsidy.

Shut up, Buhari said he doesn't know what subsidy means yet increased fuel price times 2 and still continued subsidy payment. Why was the pump price increased and where's the money going to? Buhari is a hardened criminal, he should not just be returned back to daura but also thrown into jail. Atiku is the man

1.Pump price was increased because the landing cost of fuel had gone up to N132...and based on that, we could no longer afford to subsidze fuel at N87 per liter...hence the price increase.

(GEJ was having problems subsidising fuel when he was in power....that is why he wanted to icnrease fuel to N140 perliter. You will soon see why).

2.Right now the landing cost of fuel is N180 per liter....up from N132 PERliter. We pay a subsidy of N65 per liter to keep fuel prices low.

3.By the way...Dangote plus modular refineries won't save us...the owners have to make back their money...and N145 per liter does not catch it.

4.Back to no2....the fact is, government won't remove fuel subsidy. (And Atiku won't do so either ...nor would PDP)...for the simple reason that if they do so....they would be swept from power as fuel goes up to N200 per liter and beyond. There would be riots on the street.

5.So, government keeps the corrupt subsidy regimen because it is a big price to pay to keep fuel from going too high.

6.Compounding the matter...our oil revenues have fallen drastically...to the point that we have been taking loans to keep our head above water. Plus Bubu had to rebuild our savings from scratch....that is why we don't have enough money to keep fuel as low as N40PER LITER

7.I don't mind you voting for Atiku. But if Atiku does not end subsidies by allowing independent marketers to set prices...meaning allowing fuel to go up to N200 and above...without government intervention.......that proves that Atiku too wants to keep the corruption in place.resubsidy.

8.One more thing....why is there corruption in the subsidy regimen.

BECAUSE...it does not allow marketers of PMS to make profits. As a result theyresort to improting empty vessels and claiming that they have imported fuel. It is the only way they can make a decent profit.

The solution is simple. We have to remove subsides, allow independent marketers set their own prices....meaning NNPC won't have any reason to keep on paying subsidy...and a corruption sauce would end. But you Nigerians want cheap fuel....Atiku or Buhari in charge.

Exactly. The minister of Petroleum, Buhari and NNPC counterparts are the sole importer of petroleum products to avoid paying subsidy to marketers.

True because when Bubu took power, he inherited debts from the GEJ admin to the tune of billions of naira in unpaid subsidy claims. If GEJ could not afford to pay,....where was Bubu going to get the money to pay atlower oil price...?

(See why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy...even if partially in 2012....the signs were there).


They fixed the price of fuel at 145 naira when the actual cost was less than 40 naira per liter when the crude oil price fell to 38 dollar per barrel. Now the price of crude oil has skyrocketed to 80 dollar per barrel, we will start hearing of subsidy.

1.Can we have sone actual sources of this your information? I know APC lies....but when PDP lies...pot meet kettle.

2.Landing costs of fuel were at N132 by 2015...up from N95 in 2012.Add the fact that we import MOST of the fuel we use in this country...and you can see the problem.(And even if all our refineries got fixed...we would need to STILL IMPORT 30-70MILLION liters of fuel a day.)

3.We have been facing an oil shock since 2014...and our reserves were at a low of $32 bn when Bubu took over..and fell to $28bn by 2016 begining...plus the low oil prices...meant that we did not have the forex to buffer the naira...hence costs went up. Including the cost of impriting fuel...since we now needed more naira to buy one dollar.

4.What Bubu did in 2015...was partial removal of subsidy (It was not remoival of subsidy despite what APC spin docs want to tell you)....and as a result....things calmed down....but the landing costs of fuel increased.....to N180 per liter.

5.So subsidy has to go. We need oil at $140 per barrel to have a balanced budget. Oil is at $80 now. We don't have the resources. And even if Dangote comes on stream...Dangote still has loans to pay..so prices will be high.

a father's faith cannot save his son, neither can Buhari's anti corruption stance necessarily apply to all his appointees. what is needed is a stand against corruption and necessary actions when someone is found guilty. Nigeria is probably the most corrupt country in the world, so it will take more than 4 years of Buhari to put an end to it, but Someone needs to sTART, and subsequent administrations should develop it, if u say he's fighting a one sided war, when he leaves office, another person should probe his government.

When matters arise, I urge us to be issue based and not just make the typical cynical Nigerian remarks

GEJ wanted subsidy removed because fraud became prevalent. Marketers uses one product to collect 2-5 times subsidy on the same product because we couldn't tracks these products and the port officials were compromised. He had done his surveys and found out that the actual market price was far less and wanted to create avenue for competition so as to crash the price but he was blackmailed by both APC for political gain and marketers who were the fraudsters.

When Buhari took over, it was reported that Nigerians were paying the federal government between 8-16 naira per liter of petrol. This is excluding the 8-16 naira per litre gain fixed for marketers. NNPC also came out to tell Nigerians that they have drastically reduced the cost of refining crude oil to bellow $20 per barrel. This also should affect the price but it didn't. I don't have to tell you sources to be statistically correct. The minister of petroleum has piled up for himself billions of dollars. I have idea what they are meant for.

All this problem with subsidy will dissapear if DEREGULATION happens.

With deregulation, there would be no more free money for subsidy. The money can go into other things like education, railways,power etc.

More investment would flow into the Petroleum sector...and we can finally end the corruption monster in the NNPC.

But because Nigerians, including those who cry out about subsidy scam....DONT WANT TO PAY N200 and above per liter for PMS....we have to keep on feeding the corruption monster that is the NNPC subsidy game.

End this subsidy thing now.

That is the truth.

if Bihari had deregulated the price when oil prices were very low,this nonsense we are facing today wouldn't exist.
