A chartered flight scheduled to convey about 12 members of the National Assembly from Abuja to Port Harcourt was on Monday grounded at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.

The lawmakers, some of whom are indigenes of Rivers State, were bared from flying allegedly due to instruction from the aviation authorities.

“An aircraft (Manga) that we had chattered to take us to Port Harcourt was suddenly grounded and we feel it is politically motivated because the APC people were supposed to come to Rivers and some of us were like ok, in the sense of accommodation decided to go listen to what they are saying.

“So, the aircraft that was supposed to take some Senators and members to Rivers State was suddenly grounded by some orders from above. And we are beginning to wonder why all of this is happening in the country that was supposed to be free in a democracy.

“I have been shouting that we are in a dictatorship, people thought I’m joking or exaggerating,” Mr. Amaechi said. “At least we can all see what is playing out.”

Sheikh Zakzaky’s 3 sons, 9 others died in Nigerian troops, Shiite Muslims Clash

ON JULY 26, 2014

Nigerian Shiite Muslims has issued a statement indicting Nigerian troops of killing 12 of their members and injuring 40 others in a clash between the group and soldiers in Zaria.

From reports gathered from eyewitnesses, it was said that the incident happened following the resistance of Shi’ite members to allow a military patrol van to pass through their procession.

According to the group, three of the leader of the group, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky’s sons,Mahmud, Ahmad, Hameed, as well as a woman with a baby strapped to her back were among those gunned down were.

Ibrahim Musa, the editor of Al-Mizan, the weekly newspaper published by the group, said in a statement, “Reports reaching our news desk now indicated that some soldiers of the Nigerian army have opened fire on the tail end of the Quds procession held after Jumaat prayers in Zaria, Kaduna State.

“The procession, which took off from Sabon Gari Jumaat Mosque, reached Kofar Doka peacefully with no incident. However some soldiers attacked the procession at PZ junction in Zaria.

“They shot Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky, but [his body] was taken away by the Muslim brothers. But several [other] Muslim brothers were shot by the security agents.

“As at the time of writing this report, there is no confirmation on the number of Muslim brothers shot or killed by the soldiers, but our [sources] say five people were killed. The Quds procession was held today peacefully in more than 10 Nigerian cities. Why the attack on the Zaria procession?

“the latest report on the attack by soldiers on Quds peaceful procession is that ten Muslim brothers were gunned down by the soldiers, among them Mahmud Ibraheem Zakzaky, son of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, and a Muslim sister with her child on her back.

There are over 40 Muslim brothers’ casualties with different degrees of gunshots by the soldiers. The story is still unfolding, with reinforcement of soldiers coming from Kaduna, according to our news sources.”

kikero:
One of the popular myths of the GEJ admin was that he sold fuel at N86. No, it was at N87 and it was toward the end of his regime.

1.At the start of his regime, fuel was N65

2.In December 2011, GEJ partially removed fuel subsidy(a move I supported by the way)...and raised prices to N140 per liter. That was because landing costs were at N99 per liter, and fuel subsides were becoming difficult to sustain

3.Protests, mostly spontaneous (the people that would form APC jumped on the bandwagon)...forced GEJ to reduce prices to N97.

4.As a result, subsidy costs increased and by 2013, it was becoming obvious, even with high oil prices, that we could not sustain subsides. That's when many oil marketers started getting owed subsidy claims.

5.BY 2013, outside Lagos and Abuja, and outside some major marketers, fuel was being sold way above N97 per liter. This was because the landing cost was increasing, and the amount of subsidy payments was not sufficeint to cover cost. By 2014, there were rolling fuel scarcity

6.In 2015, GEJ reduced fuel to N87....but even then, it was only in a few places that one could get fuel at that price.

7.By the time Buhari took over, the cost of importing fuel was rising, the oil price was falling, and the debts owed marketers in subsidy claims was rising. To take some pressure off Bubu did two things

a) removed subsidy partially...by raising fuel to N145, which allowed marketers to pay part of their debts, and which ended some scarcity...for now

b) when that fix did not work, ended importation of fuel by anyone except NNPC, and paid NNPC a underrecovery as subsidy

8.The subsidy claims of Independent marketers were not fully paid till 2018 (and a fair penny it cost the government)

9.The simple solution to all this grammar...remove fuel subsidy. That has been the argument since the early 1990's, when the first cracks appeared in the subsidy regime. But the thing is, despite all the scams and waste in Nigerian fuel subsidy regime, and the fact that it is costing a lot of money to maintain, the average Nigerian does not want subsidy to go....as it means high prices and by extension inflation.(initially)

But long term, subsidy removal means more jobs for every Nigerian, more refineries, and more investment...and a market driven fall in oil prices.

Honestly, if GEJ had completely removed subsidy in 2012, we would have solved all our petrol issues since, and we would have had more refineries under construction. But Nigerians want low price for fuel , even if it wrecks our economy.

Crude averaged at around 75-90 dollars per barrel and peaked at $110 throughout Jonathan's administration.

But he provided fuel at maximum of 97 naira.

Your buhari has implimented a 143 naira price regime with crude hovering at no more than $60 and is currently trading at slightly above $30.

What should that tell you.

Well, Mr Zombie, subsidy was more expensive during GEJ due to high crude prices.

Instead of you to admit the foolishness you supported and still clamour for you are here trying to do your usual egungun acrobatics.

kikero:


That's not true and you know it.

Around July 2010, it was $75, then $125.93 per barrel.

So, between $75-120

Bubu, on the other hand , came in with oil of $64, and it rose to $80, and now is below 30 dollars.


Here is a brent crude price chart from 2010-date.

Of course, it does not mean Bubu is a good leader, there are things he could have done to improve the economy...like remove fuel subsidy completely by 2015 when he took over. By now, we would have had 3 new under construction refinereies, price of fuel would have crashed below N100, and NNPC would be back to normal. There are many good reasons not to support APC for me, and this is the main one.



At the expense of our forex savings. (If you had read my commentary well, I am really arguing against fuel subsidy. Note that I backed GEJ's subsidy removal of 2012...because my eyes were opened after supporting fuel subsidy since 1993, and earlier).

If you read my explanation well, you won't be making this argument



That we are running out of money to subsidise fuel. Which means...oil subsidy has to go. (Note that so long as government controls the prices, there is a subsidy. That's why I wasn't decieved when Bubu said in 2015 that they removed subsidy. The revelation of the under-recovery was the last straw.



Which is why I said I supported GEJ removing it. You did not read my post. You just got angry for no good reason.



Since I started voting in this dispensation, I have as a rule never voted for PDP or APC. I did not vote for Buhari in 2015 or in 2019.

(2015....even though I knew PDP should get out...it was when Tam David West came up with the N40 for fuel thing, that I knew that these guys had no idea how the subsidy regimen worked, or why it had to go. Forget my vote for them)

Dr Kikero of BMC Medical center and strong advocate for vaccines

You are spewing trash.

GEJ paid higher subsidy because crude was selling record high.

The higher crude is trading the higher you should expect PMS to be.

Buhari with lower crude prices and increase in pump price (which he claimed was due to subsidy removal) was still paying subsidy under the table.

If he didn’t allow corruption in his govt, he would have done well!

JAMO84:
Jonathan's subsidy was the most fraudulent in the World. Dude claimed to be paying billions in subsidies, yet, we had fuel scarcity every six months.

Buhari also pay subsidies, but the difference is, we haven't had a single scarcity of PMS in the last three years!!!


I AM DONE TALKING

ODB2:


olodo, can you compare fuel consumption levels and demand during GEJ to now.

How many people fill their tanks up these days

You should understand that Buhari is claiming a 50 million litre per day demand

When challenged on this figure they claimed it was being diverted to neighboring countries.

Fact remains that Nigerians had money in their pockets and could readily afford the fuel at 87 naira.

The huge demand led to higher subsidy payments.

Unlike what you have now with the bogus lie of 50 million per day which the GMD NNPC claimed was being diverted.

Was there no diversion during GEJ's time as well when you consider that our fuel was far cheaper (owing to real subsidy) to that of neighboring countries

The fact remains that the Buhari govt is maintaining same consumption rates despite obvious fall in demand owing to higher prices and lowered purchasing power of Nigerians and at the same time still claiming to be paying subsidies.

WHO IS FOOLING WHO

ZOMBIE!
