ArcChu:

No one is again Subsidy Removal. And stop being little

4ward4:


Oga Rest... Their isn't any good time for subsidy removal. I aren't a fan of this old political party, but the truth still remains the truth.

AmazingELixir:


Fake News.

Tinubu social media miscreants are at over drive to justify the badly executed subsidy removal.

I wonder who they want to curry favour from...certainly not people like myself.

Bobloco:
I knew that they will come out with this propaganda

We are waiting for Niger, Togo, Chad and Cameroon

All to justify this thoughtless decision by Tinubu

Instead of fixing refineries, blocking leakages, having an effective and efficient border patrol to arrest and prosecute these smugglers

Bobloco:


The same reason why Tinubu and his ilks rejected subsidy removal during Goodluck Jonathan regime to the extent of sponsoring protest all over the country is the same reason Nigerians are rejecting it today

lexy2014:


You are waiting for Benin republic revelation but you left nigeria revelation as to how all these petroleum products are able to cross nigerian border unchecked

tete7000:
The price differential even without subsidy will still make it attractive to smuggle to Benin Republic. We will be buying at 500+, they buy theirs at 800+

ravensckar:
You guys sometimes sound like you reason from your anus. So, because some unscrupulous people have been smuggling subsidized fuel from Nigeria to Benin Reprublic, the whole citizen should bear the brunt? What happens to setting up a task force to curb this menace? What happens to effective border policing? There's a reason why illiteracy is worse than cancer. There's no single economic benefit of this subsidy removal. Please don't say that the money will be diverted to other sectors because you and I know if won't. Rather, it will be looted in broad day light.


Secondly, the law of equity says that; 'He who must come to the table must come with clean hands'. If the government is truly sincere about the development of this nation, why can't they reduce the running cost of governance? Or is their bogus pay not affecting our recurring expenditure? See, they ain't bearing any brunt but they are telling the citizens (who are already going through a lot) to sacrifice for the greater good. If you cannot see the insincerity of our government, then you need to have your head examined.

#A_Big_No_To_Subsidy_Removal

nairalanda1:
Fuel in Benin is N489 right now.

And right now, fuel in Nigeria is N488-540 per liter.

At the end of the day, smugglers cannot make a profit at all. Removing subsidy has made it difficult for anyone to smuggle fuel across the border.

And people ask me why I say subsidy must go...well here is one good reason.

Modified

If fuel was still N195, and I was living on the border, I can buy fuel into two 50l jerrycans, at N19500, cross the broder and sell it at dobule the price, and earn a cool N40000. Note that it was not only big cabals involved in the smuggling...it was also small poor boys and gals too.

Bobloco:


This is pure propaganda

How is these products finding their way to those countries. No one have been sacked for not doing his job in securing our borders or arrested by the security agencies for smuggling



Instead of tackling the issues, they keep running around

Hoelujohn:

What about increasing the price to 300 or 350, that way it won't be lucrative to smugglers again

OldBeer:
Citizens of Benin Republic are right now taking to the streets of Twitter to bemoan the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria. With some hoping for the removal of President Tinubu.

Omoawoke:


You can't compare petroleum to those products you listed above.

And the smuggling in of those commodities are one of the things damaging our economy as well. Instead of them to use Nigeria's port or manufacture in nigeria, they go to neighbouring countries and produce over there or import from there to smuggle into Nigeria.
Our west African neighbours are parasites eating on our economy.

The smuggling of petrol has come to an end. No going back. We hope Tinubu deal with them with the smuggling of commodity products as well

nairalanda1:
At the end, we can't be subsidizing the whole of West Africa.

Patriotsleague:
Nigeria has been carrying their burdens.

Triangles1:
You guys know we feed you.

Niger, Cameroon, Ghana, Togo and some Africa country.

Tvoice:


I will ignore ur stupidity for now ,say something stupid again and i will course ur generation because i never mentioned u , dont dare me.

Is Nigeria not the big brother of Africa?

You're either I'll informed or a slowpoke. Who told you it's propaganda? You must be living in a secluded village somewhere in the yeast for you not to know the fuel smuggling from Nigeria to other neighboring countries since God knows when.
We patriotic Nigerians don't care who's the president as long as he/she is doing well; so, stop your hatred cos you don't like who the president is.

INTEGRITYA1:
Fuel subsidy eaters have been feeding fact on Nigeria common wealth, they have caused serious damages to common man on the street by sitting tight on resources that should benefit us all.

Subsidy should go and government should channel it proceeds appropriately to make our Country better for all and sundry.

Another serious menace is the activities of Bureau De change

nairalanda1:


Yeah, because the profit margin from smuggling fuel...I could earn enough if I was a smuggler, pay off the customs and excise people and still come home with a ton of money.

Plus, here is a cold truth,...customs men and women cannot be everywhere. Unless we built the equivalent of the Berlin Wall around our country and manned it with over 3 million soldiers, we won't stop this nonsense.

At least that loophole is closed for now.

The same thing happens in Venezuela. Fuel is less than N10, meanwhile in its neighbours it is above N500. Result...Venezuela loses 18 BILLION dollars annually to smuggling.

It's like osmosis...area of high concentration and all that.
