Wodu89: I decided to look at your previous posts... [quote author=Wodu89 post=123721038] Education and healthcare in government institutions are subsidsed, as is power to some extent. Whether the subsides work is another thing...and the truth is, they do not work for a reason..which I'll soon get to The bigger enemy isn't subsidy , but lack of management and control of subsidy payments because of infalted invoices. This means the invoicing system, recording and 0ayment structure is the problem in itself not the subsidy. The baby should not be thrown away with the bath water. Rather the bath water o ky needs to be made clean You have identified a problem , but not the problem...or the cause of the problem Subsides basically involve selling fuel below its production and transport cost...and the money paid to compensate for the resulting loss is the subsidy. THE problem is, that means price controls...and where there are price controls, there are mega losses....because the sector is not allowed to make a profit. So sharp pracitices like overinvoicing and smuggling and so on happen because the people involved in bringing the fuel to you have to make money, and a lot of it. Ever wonder why similar issues do not happen in your food supply? Because people who sell you food are not forced to sell it at a loss. In the end, the bigger enemy is the Hausa Fulani hegemony who setup cabals in all state instructions to run them down so private ones are setup to mop up the national treasury. Nigerian refineries and Dangote is typical Well 1. Venezuela, Libya and Iran have the same issues as we do....with smuggling and massive losses from subsiding fuel and corruption and in Venezuela's case, depreciation of refining capacity. 2.How many Hausas live and work in Venezuela, Iran and Libya? None. 3. Ghana has a lot of Hausas who are native to the country...as a lot of Fulanis. Niger too has large indigenous Fulanis and Hausas in their country. Yet fuel flows there freely....and their refineries work....because both countries DO NOT SUBSIDISE FUEL. Niger has a Hausa Fulani population...yet they sell fuel at higher prices than we do until we removed subsidy. It is around N452 naira. The reason why we do not have working refineries is because we do not sell fuel at a profit and have not done so since 1973. That is why we have bad refineries. Why hasn't the Hausa fulani oligarchy ruined the LNG project then? Because we sell our LNG at a profit, therefore it works well enough FUEL is not cheap oga. That is why subsidy is problematic. Fuel is not cheap.It costs money to make. Blaming people does not change that. |

Wodu89: The problem is, you don't know what a subsidy is, and why it is damaging You want cheap fuel. I get it. I too want cheap fuel. But fuel costs far too much money to make, and keeping it cheap is one of the reasons that we are now in severe debt. I don't expect you to agree with me, or to believe I am right. At the end, there is no such thing as cheap fuel. Blaming Hausas, Fulanis, Cabals, IMF, everyone, does not change that. There is no such thing as cheap fuel. |

Ijaya123: Please keep quiet, d cunny kyari pushed this nonsense narrative. No marketer has ever used their money to procure fuel. The banks always queue up to give them free money cos d bank gets their profit back per litre, n it's d government that pays this profit. I might not know slot about how government runs but this petroleum pricing template, I Sabi am pass kyari |

ThatCEO: Well subsidy has gone, and with that , government paying profit as you put it has ended. What you described were payments made to marketers back when there was a subsidy to keep prices equal across the nation. That ended with the end of subsidy. |

jmoore: Hi prophet of doom, its being 13days since Tinubu acknowledge Subsidy removal, Asides fuel & transport things i buy like groceries are still the same price, which depict market prices have being over strecthed, So why you and your friend go around shouting doom, maybe you should bear it in my that when people fall they learn to rise The harm we do to ourselves is even more than what we condemn the govt do to us, if transportation cost was the burden of farmers may the increase will have a hitch effect, but we know greed starts from the farmers to the middlemen,security agencies on the road down to the market. Do you know it takes an eagle egg 35days to hatch ... Nigerians have elected a man with capacity & vision we just have to wait for him to work. sometimes you will need to fall to bounce higher |

JagabanBorgu:Don't mind the dude jor. The only misgiving I have concerning the subsidy removal is that since we know how our Nigerian societies work, has the federal government put any policy in place to mitigate the effects of subsidy removal on average Nigerians?? So far it seems as if there's nothing at all, the goal is to remove the subsidy with no provision to directly create a way to ease the impacts on the common man. We shall see as things unfold sha. |

Angelfrost: You are sounding like farmers need petrol to wet there seeds all mornings the dependence & attitude of nigerians round "fuel matters" deserves a chemotherapy Farmers bear so many cost buh they aint the ones that bear transportation cost, middlemen bear that cost but that is a cost that is one cost that migitated, simply use transportations with alternative source of energy. At some point in our lives we need to fvcking grow up and let fuel stop dictating our lives it should be a blessing not curse. why can't we have rails from north to south that will cost fuel cost it will reduce traffic & extortions on the road, in the main time the people can call out security agencies that extort drivers on the road, that is what really shoot up prices, i remember covid most police were fvcking rich |

mrvitalis:Your statement can only be true if the farmers don't take transport like common people and only take diesel powered vehicles as a means of transportation too. Farmers will have to increase their price too to sustain themselves. Also, do you buy from retailers or from wholesalers?? The last time I checked, retailers don't transport their farm goods with diesel powered vehicles. Everybody literally have to increase the prices of their goods or services to meet up with the increase in the price of things. |
