Hmmm. This is exactly what I've been saying, government needs to be blamed. Everything we see, hear that these marketers and criminals do, is the fault of the government. Why is it their fault, because they fail to act.

I blame them because they created this in order to help themselves benefit from the chasm created because of their ineffectiveness and ineptitude.

Okonjo Iweala's mother was kidnapped because she refused to pay fraudulent subsidy claims, did the government bother to find out who and who kidnapped her mother? Irrespective of the fact they have many leads to follow?

This is very simple and easy. The companies making those bogus and fraudulent subsidy claims, should have been investigated by the Police because they are the ones likely to kidnap her mother, since one of the kidnappers told Iweala's mother they kidnapped her because her daughter refuse to pay their fraudulent subsidy money. So the prudent thing to do here is to investigate the owners of those companies, trace there whereabouts, tap their phone lines etc...

This is the same thing we hear everyday, government complaining about people smuggling fuel out of the country, yet they haven't been able to parade anybody caught for doing this.

The people who mount and protect our borders, (Customs) nobody have been sacked for failing to do their job.

You even have to ask yourself why Okonjo Iweala didn't take her findings to the EFCC. Any manner of fraud is a crime, so I wonder why she didn't involve the EFCC by showing them her findings, let the EFCC arrest the owners of those companies making fraudulent subsidy claims and prosecute them.

This would have been what is obtainable in many western states, but not in Nigeria where excuses are the other of the day. What a shame.
Simple and easy... On NL na

Those cabals must be Tinubu and his cohorts. No sane govt removes subsidy without building or fixing up the country's refineries.

A country of over 250million people relies on a single company to produce and distribute petrol around the country? Is this a joke?

Dude don't you have sense? This is why Obi is the best. Obi said building and fixing up the 3 govt owned refineries first is the most important thing to do before removing fuel subsidy. And not relying solely on dangote refinery. If this is how Tinubu intends to govern then Yollubas are in for a long ride.
Obi is a profound eeeediot. Govt should have no business running refineries. Nigeria (Yar Aduagba) made a mistake reversing OBJ’s privatization of our refineries in 2007.
Now you want an Obi who would have come to sink us deeper in the whole refinery quagmire.
Indeed with Obi Nigeria dodged a bullet.

No sane person will oppose subsidy removal. But before you make such announcement you ought to measures in place curtail the ugly situation to arise.

Tinubu has always been know for making reckless and careless statement. He whole campaign irks of it. We warned/told them to choose a president that is accessible but they refused.

Well Peter Obi will surely use Tinubu tenure mistakes
to prepare him self well.

The subsidy cabal is powerful because they are involved in a roundtrip, but that doesn't mean that all Nigerians don't enjoy subsidy too.

It's unfortunate we are removing subsidy without having functional refineries.

Saying that the price of PMS will come down due to competition among importers is like saying that the price of iPhone will come down due to competition.
Dangote refinery go work.. Which kind wahala be this

Ma'am. For you and all those before and after you.

You pay them, there are accounts where your money goes.
You are not doing dead drops of suitcases full of diamonds as subsidy payments in the bush.
You say you hate paying them because of the massive fraud.

Now you say they kidnapped and tortured your mum, and did this and that.
Yet for over thirty years we don't know who these people are.
People we all claim to dislike, both citizens and government.

So who the hell are these people. Our common enemies that have caused us so much pain individually and collectively as a nation.
Are they some kind of alien race from Neptune or what.....
Some sort of Men in Black of unknown origin.

I just don't get it.
If this thing has been one grand heist since 1992
How come it simply cannot be identified and stopped.
Or at the very least the perpetrators revealed.

Ma'am how can you say this.
These are people YOU KNOW. Why can't you simply name them.

She knows who kidnapped her mother.
She knows who she vexed, perhaps did not pay or agree with to 'cookbook'.
It is not a question of business name.
Business names do not attend interviews, submit proposals or invoices, people do.
Let us get serious in Nigeria.
Companies may be prosecuted but it is individuals that go to jail.
And except there is a larger conspiracy, and except she too has committed a felony in cahoots warranting blackmail, there is no reason why she cannot name names and seek redress even on a personal level.
Trillions of naira have gone somewhere. She knows where.
Someone, some people, somewhere are sitting on those ill-gotten monies as we speak. She knows them.

Objective conclusion not relevant here. The previous Government made no budgetary allocation for fuel subsidy payment. That is the true state of affairs Tinubu announced truthfully.

If Nigerians are progressive, the next step is to lobby the current government to ensure the extreme sufferings of Nigerians, over fuel subsidy removal, is alleviated asap but they should still partner with Mr,President to insist fuel subsidy is gone and must remain gone.

Oga please stop playing the ostrich here.

“ Dangote refinery is now operational and has the capacity to deal with Nigeria's domestic daily demand for PMS with enough to spare for sale abroad”. Those are your words.

1. How are you not aware that Dangote refinery has not started refining of petroleum products? Are we not creating a monopoly already with Dangote? Dangote promised to commence refining in July. With Dangote’s issues of loans and banks/finance, how do you think his date is assured?

2. We heard yesterday from Mele Kyari that Tinubu intends to get at least one national refinery working by the end of this year. How is it that in eight years, having promised Nigerians that refineries would work, Buhari did not achieve it?

3. How is it that Buhari claimed that subsidy was scam and he operated it for eight years?

4. How is it that Tinubu and Buhari led the protests against the removal of subsidy by GEJ in 2014?

5. Having supported Tinubu and Buhari to stop subsidy removal in 2014, how is it that you now agree that subsidy should end? What changed?

6. How is it that in 8 years, with APC in the driving seat, none of the refineries worked after spending several trillions?

The previous government made provision for palliatives and Tinubu intends to continue with that. If the 4 million Nigerians to be covered, how are we sure that the “poor”, in that sense would get the stipends? How are we sure, in the corrupt laden country, that the funds are not intended for party members only? By the way, how is it that of over 200 million Nigerians, only 4 million are targeted for the so called palliatives?

Can you respond to some or all of the above without bias?

Those government-owned refineries can never work optimally. It should be SOLD ASAP to those that can optimize it.

Well, subsidy has gone. It should have gone in 2012...even in 1993.

But because cheap fuel is too sweet.

Why then do you ignorantly suggest removal of subsidy has to be irrevocably tied to "fixing up the country's refineries"? Can you answer that question to show you are an objective and progressive Nigerian since your statement below indicates you are anything but those things?

have you bought any litre from the refinery?
How many free buses are on the road?
Is the electricity issue fixed
Do you know inflation will drive many nigerians to the edge?

When my eyes were opened to how subsidy was damaging in 2011, people dey call me GEJ supporter. Me wey no dey support GEJ...is GEJ supporter.

Now I am an APC supporter, me wey no vote for Buhari because he was old, or for Tinubu self....is now an APC supporter. LOL.

People have to be realistic. Subsidy costs are rising largely because we consume more and more petrol. At the end, we have been for years taking money from other parts of the budget to fund subsidy, and borrowing to cover up the resulting deficit.

At some point we can';t keep it up.
We consume petrol more because that petrol is our live wire. Thats petrol generates electricity, provides borehole water, fuels our car, is used in the industry, used in the hispital. Fix electeicity, people will jump up when you remove subsidy.
