I wouldn't have been mad at Tinubu decision on the removal of fuel subsidy if he hadn't staged a protest against the removal of fuel subsidy by Jonathan, why should you deceived a nation all in the name of stupid ambition you had for yourself. Remove the subsidy by 50% and create an alternative before removing the 50% later. Review the minimum wage of the workers. God bless Nigeria

NLC should insist on removing the subsidy by 50%. When you remove it by 50%, use that money to provide palliatives ahead of total removal in a couple of years.

Why can't the government pay this subsidy to Dangote refinery directly and have the refinery supply it to Nigerians if they claim that corruption is the problem?


It can't work. In the long run, the price of petrol will be more than this current price increase. Do you know why? These marketers keep finding a way to justify their position on increased fuel subsidy. For example, the 50% if paid at 2.5 million will later be paid at 5 million because these marketers are dubious. They keep looking for means on how to make more money from the government and her citizens.

FG is still owning NNPC limited trillions of subsidy money that is unavailable! Where will both the 50% you mentioned come from?

Should the government borrow money from China again or where? We subsidize fuel for too many elites and foreigners! Those who smuggle the subsidized petrol to Benin, Cameroon, etc will by at 185 and sell like 450! The cost of petrol in those places is between 500 and 600+.
Smugglers become millionaires, elites pay less for fuel while FG accrues more debt from subsidy!

Gone are the days when NLC has their own buses especially in Lagos carrying people at subsidised price. This is what they should demand from govt.

Good...

Although I'm sceptical about the fuel subsidy removal at this time.

But the question is, when is the best time or right time to get it removed?

I will still go with the president's directives that it should be removed immediately and in full.

Let's suffer it once and for all and enjoy later.

If it's partially removed now, transporters will still increase their fare and after the some time, if the government remove it totally, they will still increase their fare.

That's double punishment.

I trust Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to roll out his incentive to cussion the effect of the suffering masses.

Why did Tinubu and Buhari lead the protest against FEJ in 2014 against subsidy removal? Why did you all refuse to suffer it “once and for all” then?

Why do you people keep evading that question please?

Or ever.
When have you ever been useful/effective in the past 8 years?

What has been the Labour Leaders ( NLC) achievement during the 8- yrs of Buhari? Silence!
They went into comatose and become irrelevant for the Masses cause and continued in- fighting amongst themselves in occupying leadership posts both in TUC and NLC!
•what was their achievements during Covid- 19,that other Countries were fighting for their Masses, getting some goodies for them? Nothing!
• what has been NLC response to Millions of Retiree Benefits, that are held up by powerful Organisations and Multinationals in Nigeria,who used excuses of Non payment and run to Courts - from National Industrial Courts to High Courts and Appel Courts, thousands of Cases are their and they just looked on,while Nigerians are dying miserable,for their entitlement!
• Worse,the present NLC are Not Pro- active in knowing that things are changing in the world,as they failed to tackle Buhari for 8- yrs,so why suddenly do they want to rescue Nigerian Workers,after 5- days of Tinubu in govt?
Even these present NLC is an LP - Pro- Max and Mr Ajaero know this,just go to his different comments!
They can't defend the Masses,as it's not in them!

It is not about who and who protested against the initial attempt to remove subsidy, it about what subsidy stands for now -FRAUD.

Bro, you don't get it.

The issue is not about removing the subsidy. ..but which direction are we heading?

Even the quoted price they are forcing th masses to pay now is a hike and the govt knows that. . So there is no transparency in processing and systems.

We can't get anywhere with that. Even some monies are being saved now as claimed, they will still misappropriate about 90% of it into their personal pockets leaving the masses into more sufferings.




I dont blame you for distrusting government. The trust deficit can only be bridged by the government. I can't speak to that.

However there is a subsidy. Subsidy does not even equal availability because the subsidy makes it attractive to sell to neighbouring countries. I don't know if you've seen that prices have risen in our neighbouring countries and they are lamenting.weve been subsidising our neighbours and starving ourselves.

As for trust deficit, bridging this will take a lot of time and consistency by the government.

Good morning

Good. Let nothing stop this removal. We will weather the storm, and with time things will even out and regain balance. Let's see what the governments will complain about after this. Also, let the NNPCL allow interested parties import all the types of petroleum 1products.

Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of NLC fit test his popularity on this issue by calling for a Protest

Subsidy has gone with the Buhari Administration.

They don't need protests, just calling for industrial strike is enough.

I trust Asiwaju on this issue though, he won't backtrack.
Only if there is no prolonged industrial strike. His government will be grounded.

Does it even make sense to you that Nigeria is the only oil producing country that removed subsidy on kerosine, diesel and now petrol for her citizens because of some nonsensical reasons that should have been tackled?

Soyinka was not up to your age when he started fighting injustices.

Why should I protest when I wasn't against GEJ? Neither was I against hi moves. Dude, GEJ is by far the best president Nigeria ever had.

Oga, Soyinka Tunde bakare Tinubu and others deceived gullible Nigerians and championed the protest themselves against GEJ when fuel was #150. So where is Soyinka and co now been fuel is more #600? Are they blind ?
