God didn't charge us a dime when he deposited crude oil in the soil.Why is government charging us high when they themselves get this same fuel free of charge?Or have you seen Buhari and hell rufai's convoy queueing to buy fuel at the fuel station?

This press release from SERAP is just noise and doesn't even suggest an understanding of the issues.

First of all electricity tarrif for the base consumers of less than 50kwh per month was left unchanged at N4. That is pretty much free electricity. Also the poorest of the poor in this country reside in our villages. There is zero electricity in most of our villages anyway, so what electricity are they paying for?

Second of all, the poorest of the poor do not use cars and perhaps do not even use generators. While you can argue that higher petrol prices will increase the prices of goods, by definition of being poor, they don't buy a lot of stuff anyway. Also that argument of petrol prices increasing transport cost of good should not arise, cos trucks and trailers use diesel and not petrol.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti poor people. I would love for poor people to be able to move up the ladder of poverty into comfort, but i am just stating facts as they are. As unfortunate as it may sound, even the Bible tells us that the poor will always be among us.
