The problem isnt subsidy, but corrupt security officials that aide these smugglers.
Most of the officials of these agencies spend much time in a particular zone, they should be shuffled and u will see the impact. Give them close monitoring, anytime dpr records more than what is the normal consumption of fuel in a particular month, their salaries will be deducted.
We need to be serious in this country..
We shouldnt punish more than 190m people because of the crimes of less than 100thousand people.

Modrov:


No. It is Nigerians who want to get rich quick.

Anyway, that's why we need people like you in goverment. I'll vote for you if you run

palsenator:





It is because of the insincerity of the government and simply because they want to hike the price... The solution is very simple and straight.....

lexy2014:


How do d Nigerians who want to get rich quick carry product across d border?

D people who are in govt now that u are supporting their policies, did u vote for them?

solja147:
It'll never stop cos d government is in support of it

Emu4life:
Fuel Subsidy is the only sure thing the poor masses gain directly from the Government. You think if subsidy is removed the excess funds will be used judiciously?Hell No! it will be embezzled by one Pot bellied criminal. How many times have subsidy been removed with the hope of fixing the refineries but they ended up doing nothing and subsidy keeps coming back over and over again
Abeg, they shouldn't make things unnecessarily tougher for the masses.

Modrov:


Because Nigerians and their goverment are corrupt and apc is corrupt.

Now go and bother the bmc.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
The government should tighten border security,remove subsidy and Nigeria would collapse, things are already tough and inflation everywhere, selling fuel for 300naira a litre would not be possible, after all the money saved from subsidy will still be looted.

lexy2014:


Now u no that d govt and APC are corrupt and u have been supporting d policies of a corrupt govt governed by a corrupt APC

Modrov:


Goverment does not support it.

The smuggling is happening because fuel is far more expensive in neighbouring countries than it is in Nigeria

So anyone buying fuel in Naija and selling it in Cameroon, Niger and Benin is going to earn a profit of N130 per liter sold.

The only way you can stop that is by removing subsidy or by closing the border and building a thick 100 foot wall around Nigeria.

And goverment dont like it because they end up subsidising fuel for other african countries. It's a waste

Modrov:


So how are Niger , Chad, Cameroon, Benin, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana etc who 're all just as poor as we are surviving with petrol prices above 300 naira per liter?


How much more millions of naira are we going to spend subsidising fuel for other African countries? Who give us nothing in return?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Those countries have stronger currency and stable electricity compared to Nigeria.

Modrov:



The subsidy is pushing us into more and more debt.

Because the money cones from the limited amounts we earn from crude which is falling in price.

And subsidy makes it unprofitable to refine fuel at home. Unless you are as rich as Dangote

Emu4life:
But how many times have they removed the Subsidy without doing anything or at least kick-start a process that will show the masses we re heading somewhere?
How are we sure subsequent removals will yield Any fruit??

Modrov:




They do not. Except for Ghana, they do not at all.

Infact all those countries have poorer power uptake than Nigeria.All of them are at our level or poorer.

Liberia is richer than us? Even Benin? Please no make me laugh

Modrov:


Yeah . I don't support apc.

Why should I support a corrupt goverment that cannot run the economy well.

So because I support fuel subsidyremoval, I am an apc supporter? Something Ngozi Okonjo Iweala supports?

Get off my mentions.

poiZon:
Imagine in july dpr said nigeria consumed 150million litre of fuel a day compare to 30million we normally consumed during GEJ era.
That is a whooping 120million litres difference.
Calculate the subsidy involved in these 120million litre then u will know Nigeria is being looted blue, black and peach by buhari and his cabal.
Instead of finding lasting solutions to these perennial smuggling, they r giving excuses and apportioning blames.
Employ more hands if need be to secure the borders, checkmate every illegal routes these guys use. Its simple...

Modrov:


Even if you do that, it won't stop the smuggling.

The cheap way is to remove subsidy. It would encourage more investment in refining, which means more jobs, more production and price of fuel falls.

And we end up exporting the thing.

Nigeria's neighbour Niger has o subsidy. As a result they make enough to keep their one refinery working, and export to at least 3 countries

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Cotonou, Ghana and Liberia have 24hrs electricity.

Modrov:


The problem has been there for decades before this goverment.

And the closure of the borders was governments very inept way of solving the problem. Which amounted to throwing the baby with the bathwater as it hurt legit business more

*It has been proposed that no fuel station 50 kilometers away from the borders...

* Only NNPC station is allowed within the range since the population around the border is less dense.

* Border patrol / Custom sabotage should be checked


It will not totally stop it but drastically will reduce it. You need to see the numbers of ⛽ stations along the road to the borders...it will shock you

ogododo:


You be pikin same thing wey Obsanjo told us when fuel dey less than N20, before putting am for N70. How ecomoics work, most of these neighbour no get oil dem depend on Naija fuel, if you sell for N400 for Nigeria, outside go still be like #500-600. You know what we fit do, make gofarment comot in hands, eyes and mouth for oyel mata. You go see how things go turn positive.
