HenryDion:no sir, it takes a ready people to change. How do you unchain people who are not even aware of the chains? How do you tell Nigerians that they deserve better when all they want to do is prove that they can survive the worst situation? Look around you, our culture is not one to seek better lives but to tell others how strong we are by adapting. We don't need 24/7 power supply, we actually need poor power supply to boast our morale. We need higher fuel and food prices to show how strong we are. Nigerians are lazy and that's the truth. In any nation where there's a change in policy, the question is not how do we adapt, the question is always how do we make them change this policy or better still, how do we make them augment? But not Nigeria, in Nigeria it's the more lazy approach of how do I suffer more to accommodate the changes? 1 Like |

AfonjaConehead: The pressure is coming mainly from the governors (APC, PDP & APGA), they're not giving up, they want more allocations and the Fed government cherished the idea. However, people's purchasing power is very low coupled with inflation and high food prices, it's going to be very difficult. 1 Like 1 Share |

freshkpomo: Well, you asked, and I gave you the answers to your questions. Yes, we are as poor as many African countries, and yes, I have held that view for over 10 years. Sad, but that's the truth. And yes I consider it a disgrace, and I consider this current government a failure for doing nothing about it. For a reason why we are poor , see here A country like Nigeria that ought to be rated high just like Singapore and China suddenly starts looking up to 3rd world countries, last last you deserve all the insults I gave you, I take back my apology brother when mumu. China and Singapore export a lot of industrial goods and products. Nigeria only exports oil , and imports a lot of things from other countries, including the same China self. China went from being behind Sierra leone in 1973, to being a lender to most African countries because they grasped that strong and rich countries are industrial countries. Nigeria exports and relies on income from oil, and in times past agric, minerals, etc. Where we are poor is because we don't set the prices of what we export. China can set the prices of what it exports (and before them , Japan and many European countries, USA included)..WHICH is why they are rich as rich can be (China has a tax to gdp ratio of 22.1%, Singapore 13.3%, Nigeria, 6.1%) Till we start exporting finished industrial goods and services, and become more and more industrial, then I can say we can compare ourselves to China and Singapore, and even Japan, Germany and USA. |

backbencher: You are funny bro, what about our Gold in Zamfara? Can't it be exported too? Let's forget about Agriculture, let's talk about livestock, do you know how many well packaged smoke fish leave the shores of Nigeria annually? We have not talked about ornamental wildlife and aquatic creatures. Do you know how much China generate on pearls only? Stop defending evil, it's bad. Our leaders are not removing subsidy because they care for gbe country, if they did they will begin by slashing their fat salaries. 1 Like |

freshkpomo:. It can be exported, but here is the problem The gold is never at the price we want it internationally....same for smoked fish We also don't produce it at the amount that would sustain us. Even if we mass produced gold at the level of say South Africa...the price will falll, and we would be broke again. That's why Nigeria should use it raw materials to produce consumer goods for the world...that's what serious countries do. Modified As for smoked fish...other countries have fisheries industries that are not only mechanized, but produce far more fish than we do. Who are we going to export to? Do you know how much China generate on pearls only? Stop defending evil, it's bad. Our leaders are not removing subsidy because they care for gbe country, if they did they will begin by slashing their fat salaries.[/quote] Well, most of China's export is from industrial goods and services, not just from pearls. China exports a lot of consumer electronics (eg television= five of the world's top 7 tv producers are Chinese, laptops, cellphones, etc etc). The fact is bad leadership is why we are not like China...an exporter of large amounts of industrially produced goods and services. We are a over importer of things that we even produce at home. |

Some people believe they are intelligent yet all they can do is regurgitate govt statements! Can you tell me which one of these countries has the official minimum wage @$50? Unofficial even less! Can you tell me which one of these countries has the highest number of Extremely Poor People in the World? Can you tell us which one of these countries has refineries that DO NOT FUNCTION? Can you tell us which of these countries do the citizens depend on petrol based generators for their energy needs? taylormed2: |

Where did I say Nigeria is equivalent to them in pay?? Na una de quote sentence as it is and not in context. Price of fuel in Cameroon, Ghana, Chad, Niger is higher than Nigeria too.

tempusfugit:We buy cars with Big Engines, talking like that is a myth. It all depends on preference and pocket. Saying Europeans drive small engines is just a general term which isn't true these days' have a 2ltr BMW I drive now and I have had a V6 RRS I drove for years. The ratio of wages is reflective to how you spend on Energy. In Nigeria, that logic defies economics. |

RichDad1:Yeh bro, they aint have a clue, No FG is brave to remove Subsidy unless our refineries start working at 100% and our power stations fulfil our energy needs in as much that we do not run generators no more.Tis is not rocket science, These illexposed youths we have in Nairaland have no clue of how much petrol cost abroad cos if they do then they will quickly realize that pump price will nearly hit N700 to N1000 per litre. 2 Likes |

erico2k2: Usually, the answer is 'evil western sanctions', but Venezuela's problems go much deeper than that Venezuela is reliant on oil, and subsidizes everything using the same oil revenue...so when oil prices crash, Venezuela is in crisis. (They were in a dire state in the 1980's when oil crashed then..and the government was pro pro USA. A good book that tells the whole story is Crude Nation How oil riches ruined Venezuela by Raul Gallegos. |

backbencher:If you summarise all what you wrote its simply put, they were over dependant on OIL, The next factor was corruption same as Nigeria, the problem of subsidy is not the amount spent rather the corruption involved. |
