Femi8586:
I have come to realize that people only hate APC on social media

In real life(During elections), Nigerians really love Buhari and APC.

They will come online and wail of suffering but during election they will still vote APC inflicting heavy suffering on them.
Suffering and smiling.

If you doubt me, let Buhari contest again for third term, you will be shocked at the massive figures he will pull and still win..

Nigerians problem is beyond ordinary.

Most Nigerians are not on social media.

Here on Nairaland, out of 2 million members, less than 30000 are on the politics pages on a daily basis. Most Nairalanders don't visit the politics page.Nigeria has 210 million people. Many of the politics page members don't support PDP or LP either.

Also, 40% of Nigerians have access to the internet, and most only use it for things like banking transactions, or registrations. Not for anything else. Most Nigerians don't have a twitter or nairaland or even reddit account.

So, judging Nigerian political attitudes from the Nigerian internet space is getting an inaccurate picture.

Time for subsidy to go

The fact is, the marketers are not earning enough to pay for their transport costs. And government has no money to pay for their transport costs, and diesel is not subsidised anymore.

So, the subsidy has to be removed in totality. Otherwise, we are going to have scarcity galore.

The truth is, when you bring in fuel at N330 and above and sell it at N165 , there would be a loss, and when the subsidy paid barely covers the loss, especially with rising crude prices pushing up the cost of making petrol and diesel....at one point, the cost of subsidy would have to increase...and Nigeria right now is spending a lot of money subsidsing fuel...which is why we are not 'benefiting' from the rise in crude oil prices.

Let's be honest. Subsidy goes...or we take more loans to cover up the resulting ballooning deficit. Whoever is in charge.

How many times will the subsidy go

Lagosians; welcome to the party. It has been our reality for months now in Abuja. I weep for this country.

SarkinYarki:


How many times will the subsidy go

So long as government is setting the price, there is a subsidy.

That's why I never believed Buhari's 'removal of subsidy claims' .

Fahdiga:
South West is now in disarray

Fadiya, South west is not, has not and will never be is disarray.

Nothing like fuel scarcity in Eastern part of Nigeria.
Fuel is very affordable here in anambra state.

Where in Lagos o cos we no c scarcity here o

It's getting harder by the day. Before this week runs out, diesel might hit 900/1000 if care is not taken (that is for the few places they are available). I know how much stress I passed through to fill tank on Saturday morning, that was when I had a hint that there's scarcity and not many stations have fuel. For some reasons, I hope this keeps getting worse let's see if that will elicit the necessary rage in most citizens so they can angrily respond with their PVCs. Like many people have said, 2023 will either make or mar Nigeria. Hardship no dey ask which tribe or party u belong, e dey touch everybody.


yes subsidy has to go, but you know that things have to be in place before it goes if not, we will all go crazy in this country because of the way things will sky rocket. Diesel is not subsidised yet you see the price it is at presently and the scarcity in the market too? If the refineries are not working (even at 50%), na die everybody dey cos we will all buy petrol at #350 plus, as every of our petrol needs will be imported. A whole lot is wrong with this country, we are collapsing under our own weight and faster too, how most people are not seeing it is my problem

1.Most of our neighbours buy fuel at N350...including Niger, which is poorer than us.

2.Niger has a working , exporting refinery, because they pay for fuel at a profit...which is ploughed back into the refinery...which means it can work well. By rights, Nigeriens should be buying fuel at N40 because they are really very poor...but the refinery won't make a profit to pay for itself....and it would break down.

3.Subsidy over the years in Nigeria has made refineries unprofitable and dependent on government money...which leads to looting and stealing and sabotage...and their breakdown.

4.By removing subsidy, we allow our exisiting refineries to run at a profit, as well as the private ones, which eventually means no more importation of fuel...in return for high prices.

5.Again,most African countries pay higher for fuel...as do many oil producers. That Nigeria has crude oil does not mean we should refine it at a loss.

Most people are seeing it perfectly well,but they are probably more concerned about their party and candidate winning ,they do not mind if the Country collapse untop of their heads.

Fuel scarcity that has now turned to normal thing in Abuja. Lagos people y'all have been enjoying fuel na!

Quite sad...

To all business owners.

"Have you patronised me today" is not a business strategy.

lamiid:

We send our crude to be refined abroad in Belgium and the Netherlands, because subsidy has rendered our refineries useless.

Russia is a major oil producer. Any crisis involving a oil producer leads to rises in oil prices. (see the 1970's oil price rise which resulted indirectly from the Yom Kippur war, or the Gulf war 1, where destruction of Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil fields led to rises in oil prices.)

Maxymilliano:
It's obvious APC has no single solution to any of the country problems, it has always been one step forward and ten steps backward.

If you were given 50k you will still vote for APC.

Fahdiga:
South West is now in disarray

South East is in Calamity.Fuel scarcity is a norm in Nigeria.

Maxymilliano:

There is a solution, and that is to remove fuel subsidy.

But each time APC, and in fairness, PDP and before them the Millitary has suggested total fuel subsidy removal, Nigerians have always said no, nyet, nein, non, etc.

So, we prevent the petroleum sector from making refining petrol at home profitable, spend millions importing fuel, and then forcing the sector to lose money selling it at subsidised prices, and then paying a subsidy that barely covers the losses, and does not allow the sector make enough cash to expand and maintain refining capacity.

Maxymilliano:

APC never came prepared... Getting power was all they cared about.

After 2 tenures, they are still more clueless and criminal than PDP! What a shame.

How many Nigerians said No?!!

I sure as hell never said No!

Please, when did Buhari present that option to all Nigerians since 2015?!!
When did he sit down with Labor Unions and Fuel Marketers to forge a path forward?!!

You need to start educating yourself on what leadership really entails instead of constantly shifting blames on the long-suffering masses!

I'd be giving out the Gadget importation Guide from USA for free.

This report is for those looking for a side hustle or financial freedom // someone who wants to start laptops and mobile phones importation business but do not know how to go about it.

Do well to reach me via the number on my sig

Next tym if una hear APC una run enter bush.

If you like campaign for subsidy removal till tomorrow we won’t agree to it. Subsidy is the only benefit I get as a Nigerian noting else I pay for my security, water, heavy taxes even bank dey commot money from my saving all going to FG account. The last subsidy removal what did the government use the money to do it was still embezzled let the government fix electricity and the refinery and the dependence on fuel will reduce drastically.

IboHausaYoruba:
Scarcity my foot. There is nothing like scarcity all over Lagos. You IPOB propagandists are at it again. So you thi k all these lies can spite Tinubu Jagaban from becoming the president? You're all joking.

Can you not see that the report is from punch newspaper? Hopeless bigot!

Angelfrost:

Same from here. I have said yes to subsidy removal. But most Nigerians have always said no.

Please, when did Buhari present that option to all Nigerians since 2015?!!
When did he sit down with Labor Unions and Fuel Marketers to forge a path forward?!!

They did, and the answer was no. Even last year, when his finance minster was yelling at him to remove subsides, and when El rufai said that subsidy payments was limiting the amount of money available for sharing , Buhari chickened out.

NLC has always been consistent. No total subsidy removal. Partial, maybe, but not total.

You need to start educating yourself on what leadership really entails instead of constantly shifting blames on the long-suffering masses!

Okay, let's waste 5 trillion naira and go into more deficits because subsidy.

You want cheap fuel. Good. I think it is a disaster for Nigeria. We can agree to disagree there. Good am.

Who is the minister for Petroleum again?
this next 11 months, the country will be in auto-pilot pro max, if it was sleeping before it will now be in slumber..
your presido no send again...
he may even remove subsidy if he wan make am easy for fellow fula man, atiku... th masses will just hate APC more, guess who will benefit from protest votes, PDP and LP more or less...
but it may also backfire
