We have moved on on that. If GEJ had balls, he should have stood his ground as the standing GCFR. But the slowpoke from Otuoke, the messiah of Igbos and dot in the circle people is inept and incompetent. Had no political will despite all the powers of presidency.

The newly Inaugurated President just announced removal of subsidy and boom oil marketers have started selling at exorbitant prices
Aren't we the problems of ourselves 😔

lexy2014:


If you say these imaginary people that benefit from subsidy are very influential and are part government so therefore can't be arrested, how and why is subsidy being removed by the same govt that they are part of? How come they can no longer use their influence to stop fuel subsidy removal by the govt which u say they are part of but can use their influence not to be arrested?

Shettima nailed it! These is the kind of leader we need, who can say it as it is.

Those subsidy thieves will do everything to cripple the economy, and Nigerians must not give-in.


The criminals will act like they are on the peoples side so as to get subsidy running again.

sonature1:


So many of you have been brianwashed. Every Nigerian benefits from PMS subsidy.

Truthshscrazy:

Ah is very true💪 o. Confam .Am in Ayobo--lpaja . Tinubu & Apc supporters are buying fuel cheap And they pay for the N150/litre fuel with 🌽🌽🌽🌽

Like the example I stated earlier, the VC can talk and dialogue with his son, but he won’t rusticate and jail his son.

That is why the government should call their bluff once and for all.
Let them shut the nation down for all long as they can then, we move on from there.

HacheNoire:


You are right, but the reap off also is enormous.

Why don’t we channel same funds into other ventures, which would be a direct investment.

If minimum wage can be increased with proceeds, that will go a long way and have a direct impact

Not someone importing 10 liters and getting subsidy for 50 liters, and still route already subsidized 3 liyer to Niger republic to resell.

HacheNoire:


You are looking at issue from the angle of a layman. Try to imagine the class of people dealing this nation of trillions and imagine their influence and connections, it’s not as easy as you seeing it.

They are part of the government. They are influential, they are not just ordinary citizens like me and you. Let me give you an example, can you go and report to the VC that his son is the head of a cult group? Scenario similar to that. The problem is right from within and not outside.

You mentioned about arresting them, you dialogue with such people. I wish names could be released so you see the class of people that will fall inside.

Don’t be surprised if you seeing the Otedola, Alakija and Adenuga. Just saying, I am not accusing them.

we are not building new refineries bro. We are refurbishing. Your past govt said they’re already owing trillions for not paying subsidy. Seems you live in Ghana.

AntiChristian:


So you mean we should spend about $10 Billion per year on subsidy till we can fix the refineries when Dangote build his refinery at $19 Billion?
I am using my brain than you! The subsidy should be removed. The billions should be directed elsewhere!

HacheNoire:


Do you reside in Nigeria?

You should know some class of people are untouchable. Yes! Subsidy can be removed, but you still cannot do anything to those class. You can only take away the meal from them, you cannot expose or jail them under democracy.

Don’t you know generators importers are the saboteurs of the grid system, how many importer has been arrested.

Tobacco kills million yearly but the WHO has not placed a ban on it.

Even in your place of work, don’t you see that level of similar politics.

lexy2014:


You saying something entire different. That's not what I asked.

nairalanda1:


Fixing refineries is impossible under subsidy. You are in essence using the money that would have been used for refineries for subsidy.

That is why it had to go.

Anyway, NNPC is fixing up the refineries now. All of them.

HacheNoire:



Their are alot of articles about the fraud in subsidy. You can go through any of your choice and you will see all you need to know

You are the one who made the claims not the articles. If you have read said articles, then u shouldn't have any issues answering my questions.

1. You claimed that those benefiting from fuel subsidy are "thieves" and "criminals".

2. You claimed that these "thieves" and "criminals" are part of the govt and are very influential.

3. You also claimed that the reason why these "thieves" and "criminals" can't be arrested is because they part of the govt and influential.

4. If they can't be arrested because they are influential and are part of the govt, how come they can't use their influence to prevent the removal of fuel subsidy?

I've been following this thread from A-Z and you have made a valid point. I am not against d subsidy removal.

Here is my question to you, yeah.... how are u so sure that this particular money will be greatly utilized. U sound as if u don't know d kind of leaders we have in Nigeria. Are you new in Nigeria?
Will d subsidy removal funds be used judiciously to serve d common man? Will our health care, education system etc improved?
Thanks for ur input.

gare:


They never saw any light, they where selfish and took advantage of the mass then to fight GEJ, they knew the advantages of subsidy removal, but my on take here is why did PMB not fix our refineries before the removal of subsidy, any responsible government should trty as much as possible to mitigate the suffering of it citizens on every issues, but in our own case our leaderes are wicked and dont care about the masses that would suffer the fallout of the subsidy removal. We have Crude, we have working refineries we would not suffer at all.

tsdarkside:


how many nigerians do you think understand whats going on....??
me,for example back then didnt understand much either....

thats why education and communicatin with each other is very important....

HacheNoire:


With subsidy removed, the labour union should be on their toes. But I want to believe the government is going to compensate with a minimum image increment.

Though it’s too early for me to judge. I believe some cushioning measures will be activated soon.

I have learnt to be positive and always hoping for the best. The idea of being negative and expecting the worst must stop.
