May be that should be the real market price.

It's not of Tinubu's doing. He should be applauded for taking the bold decision otherwise Nigeria will finally totally go bankrupt.

Flangelo12:
Reminder.

JASONjnr:


As intelligent as Obi is.... He'd taken steps to remove subsidy.


Not just announcing it few minutes as a president and turning the country into a mess.....

Can God allow afflictions to rise a second time? I was 7 when Shehu Shagari took mantle of leaders in 1979 and even as a child then, I felt positive impacts of democratic government before he was overthrown by Buhari. But today democracy had been hijacked by wrong people who call themselves politicians.

He has started off worse than Buhari

Go sit-down, Obi Ióst deaI with it.
Whoever won that eIectîón was going to remove subsidy.

Jontaman:
It's undisputable that anybody that call himself president could remove the subsidy but Tinubu was rather fast in doing so without first and foremost, caution the effects it will bring to the masses/electorates. It's wrong.

Tinubu did not remove subsidy. It was removed by the former administration. Try get some sense.

JagabanBorgu:

He didn't do anything yet, u are so eager for him to faiI so u celebrate.

Oga rest..... wouldn't Obi or Atiku still do same?

Stop the wholesale display of ignorance. It is embarrassing for an adult who is supposedly educated.

The budget Tinubu met has no provision for fuel subsidy ostensibly because there can be no excuse retaining it with Dangote refinery fully operational from June.

It never surprises me when partisans support terrible decisions for political reasons.

I'm pro subsidy removal. Tinubu's unguarded announcement was in poor form.

There are some preparations that were designed to predate the removal to ameliorate some of the detrimental effects that are yet to be implemented. He has yet to have a review of the state of these programs before insisting on keeping to the deadline.

Any administrator with a half-working brain would have formed a team, performed a critical review, finalized necessary mechanisms, then start a sophisticated removal scheme (it may be gradual, may be a band, whatever solution the experts propose after carefully weighing the pros and cons).

The major complaint against Jonathan in 2012 was that he removed the subsidy suddenly. Many people were stranded at the destinations of their holiday trips and could not afford to return and resume work or reopen businesses. Buhari, being the consummate assh*le that he is decided to only fund 5 months, when he could easily have funded 9 months so the next administration has ample time to settle in before being waylaid by a major sociopolitical issue.

Tinubu being an experienced politico has no excuse. He has been a 2 time governor and a Senator. There are arrows in his quiver.

You cannot fight currency change while you were a candidate, say you will review the policy in your inaugural address, then in the same speech say as President you must follow the schedule on a far more impactful issue.

If he wants, he can sign an executive order that will re-route spending to subsidy. Use national security as an excuse. Then wait for the NASS election of principals to be concluded. Hand each of the principals N500m and get them to push a Supplementary budget that provides funding for 3 or as many months as he needs to get a handle on things.

Dangote expects refining to start in July. That is a Musk deadline. It might be delayed further.

This would set him apart from the disastrous Buhari regime. People notice these things. Like it was a lay up. An easy home run. Yet he chose instead to step on a rake.

The interesting part is that you guys defending this rubbish would have been making my points if you were in the opposition. But because you expect to earn dividends from this administration, you have to feign incompetency. Or act like you have no knowledge of Nigeria's convoluted political process.

OneTemplate is talking about "suffering for the greater good". If you cared about the greater good of Nigeria, you would not have voted for Tinubu. That is a fact. He is President now and he has to be supported when possible, but tell people how they'd navigate a thorny situation. Not try to pull at heart strings. Who Nigeria epp?

Soon as I saw the bolded above, I skimmed over everything else because rare to come accross Nigerians dispassionately progressive enough to see good in anything done by a President they are fundamentally baised against.

When Nigerians have bias against someone, most are incapable of rising above prejudice to note what matters or see the bigger progressive picture.

You are in that category meaning people like you don't give objective benefit-of-the-doubt allowance.to those you host bias against.

You believe Nigerians should not have voted for Tinubu, rather than democratically accept the will of the majority, and ostensibly hate Nigeria with your "who Nigeria epp" quip.

What a revealing combination. Go ahead and deny you are a radical IPOB element or a fundamentalist Obidullard.

LordAdam16:


Did not read anything you typed after your first sentence either.

Bounce!

Petty character. If you're truly progressive then you would not have written what is shown below.

Any bright person would immediately write you off as a crass hater not worth any back and forth with.

I am not enamoured with Obi or Atiku either. Difference between us is that I respect the right of Nigerians to vote for them and I accept my subsequent responsibility to support the eventual winner per the overarching ethos of democracy.

Instead of running around, as you do, bitching shamelessly and pettily against the winner while conveniently forgetting it is Nigeria's progress I should be most concerned about.

You're a small-minded hater who sees people rather than ideas. Tinubu is your President and the central idea, greater than his character, is the progress the removal of fuel subsidy can/will deliver for Nigeria.. Deal with those realities.
