I see nothing wrong with bicycle my love 🚲

November1857:
Lol ! This government is out to impoverished Nigerians..

We are were we are already. Thibk of ways out. Many would be riding bicycle a long time ago if the roads were made to suit such. It's a major system even in the developed. Na because everyman wan show off say him get Moto be why you dey reason like that.

Rayban25:
Exactly this is a welcome development.

Frsc self will be tired of inspecting vehicles e go be like holiday for them

U will be the first to complain when FRSC tells u ur bicycle tyres have expired

These people are determined to kill Nigerians. Where are bike lanes? Or are we expected to ride on the high way? The only way this works is if bike lanes are constructed in all states.

So state like Lagos go come get LABYKA, and Agbero wey go dey collect bicycle levy.....

Mofo......awon werey.....?!

Hahahaha! The Agbado and ewa ideology is coming to reality. He wants people to be riding bicycles meanwhile him and the immediately past president family will be inside expensive cars watching us riding bicycles, for 8yrs they didn't make one refinery to work and a single man built refinery and called them to come and commission, they all went. Shameless set of people parading themselves as leaders. I just pity people that are supporting this criminals. Am sure the subsidy remover will cause the prices of food to go up, then he will come and tell us how to survive with Agbado and ewa meanwhile him and his family will be living big

WHERE ARE ALL THE BATISTAS? We all go follow ride am

How can simple arithmetic of 185 to 500 be a more than 300% jump!
@topic,it's an idea but that means many people will arrive at their offices and places of business smelling of sweat

It's 270%.
I guess they rounded it up.

Ihateheadslamer:
Something they should've done a long time ago


Nigeria always wait till e chock before they begin to think of alternative

Lol... If I could remember, I created a thread using Lagos as an example that cars in Lagos are too much and might not be needed if the government invest more in both railway and water transportation. And also create more awareness about it.
Some Agbado guys wey no sabi anything said otherwise that SanwoOlu made the best decision for inputting more cars on the road.

Kpatakpata

Nigerians are about to be healthier from trekking and riding bikes

Some states are crude oil producing.

The federal government should leave the crude oil to States whom are expected to pay taxes to the federal government.

Why must crude oil rich States like Rivers state suffer to ride bicycle like Sokoto state?

Why are we not practicing true federalism?

Cyberterror:
There are many ways of government easing the pain of subsidy removal aka palliatives. The government doesn't necessarily have to spend money to do this. The federal government can cut import duties by 50% for the next one year only. They can also cut excise duties for local manufacturing firms at the same rate and for the same duration. The states and local governments on their own part can stop collecting ticket revenues and daily levies from keke and bus operators in exchange for keeping transport prices at pre-removal rates for the next six months. Traders in their various markets can get similar reliefs.

[s]But no matter the strategy that government adopts, petrol subsidy must never be reinstated no matter the pressure by enemies of Nigeria led by the NLC that are remote controlled by the defeated labour party.[/s]

That would result in a revenue shortfall. The reason the government is taking out subsidy is because Nigeria presently has not enough money to finance her budget. Your darling daddy plunged the nation into huge debt that a large chunk of the money accrued from crude oil sale is being used to service it. Cutting down on other sources of IGR now would not help the government meet her obligation.

Even western world have bicylce lanes. Car is for the middle class so if they pay high price for the fuel they use we don't need pity them. No subsidy for already rich middle class and upper class

When i read some of the things Tinubu supporters post here, i always wonder if they were naturally made retarded or something happened along the way. Even their bútthole gets jealous of the shít that comes out of their mouth.

Gasoline sells between 500 and 600 in many parts of the country, so they are right to peg the increase at 300%. We've just seen the price of PMS increase in triple fold.

He is being sarcastic. But I guess we are so used to the st*pidity of Jagajaga's followers that we don't put anything past them .

Angola removed subsidy but they made provisions for non- transferable debit cards for transportes to be used for pms purchase at lower rates in order for t- fare to remain stable and here some vision less folks are talking about bicycles.

riding bicycle on which roads? Do we have the same facilities like they do? You are really silly. Be there supporting rubbish. I’m sure your life isn’t any better.

PRACTICE TRUE FEDERALISM lN NIGERIA

Rich States like Lagos state, Delta, Rivers Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Ondo, can afford to build refinery and make these resources cheaper for it's people.

They do not necessarily be conditioned to suffer with the poorer states in Nigeria.

Nigeria is unnecessarily bringing the resources of regions to the federal centre just for the other lazy states especially States in northern Nigeria.

At the end of the day citizens from the rich States are suffering with the poor or lazy states?

Rich States in Nigeria can build power generation plant, railway, and even run their own sea ports.

It is the wrong culture of centralizing resources from the rich and prosperous states to the federal centre for the benefits of poor states that is why Nigeria is not moving forward

maasoap:


I can assure you with 100% assurance that you have nothing to benefit from the fuel subsidy removal as a Nigerian. That money will be looted as usual by the people who are going to be saddled with the responsibility to use it for the good of Nigerians

Exactly, it will be embezzled on audio projects. Since other countries are no longer giving free Loan, they are looking for other ways to fund their lavish lifestyle.

Just read what you wrote again. You are the one pointing out facts and you are opposing yourself at the same time. Your conscience won't let you rest for knowing the truth and abstaining from it. No peace for the wicked. Deal with it

Subsidy: FCT to develop lanes as FRSC wants Nigerians to embrace bicycle

FRSC said it's advisable for Nigerians to make use of bicycles now that fuel prices have skyrocketed due to subsidy removal.

Nigerians that are either docile or active supporters of impunity that watch as evil flaunts powers are mocked ones here cos while they display their complete ignorance and stupidity, the children of their oppressors whom they support keep buying expensive vehicles that consumes more fuel than their generations can't afford.

Broken bones loading , can’t imagine people riding bicycles from Suleja, maraba , nyanya , karishi, karu etc !

As good as the proposal is, the inherent danger is the uncultured driving on our roads.
Drivers not obeying speed limits with no sign post as a warning .
Trucks and articulated vehicles drivers menace, motorcyclists both two and three wheelers were driving recklessly without recourse to other road users

Watch how cost of bycicle will skyrocket
