What General Abdulsalami Abubakar, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Umar Yar’Adua and Dr (Deacon) Goatluck Jonathan could not do over combined 26 years, Emilokan Adekunle Bola Ahmed Tinubu did it in the first 30 minutes of his government. Now, we know the real GENERAL.

Was this your position in 2012 when a certain Goodluck Jonathan tried to remove subsidy? A certain Bola vehemently opposed the "lesser pain" that Nigerians would have had to endure then

I remember 2012...back then, most Nigerians were opposed to subsidy removal. Had nothing to do with Tinubu and Buhari telling them to go and protest: infact both Buhari and TInubu joined the protest because they had to score points with Nigerians....even when both of them knew better. Buhari was part of the economic council, and Tinubu has links to the oil business.

Let's even go back to 1993, when Buhari was retired, and Tinubu was unknown. When IBB proposed subsidy removal, Nigerians said no. In 2005, when one of Obasanjo's ministers said that fuel should not be cheaper than coke, we all mocked him well well. Even people like me.

2012, most Nigerians were opposed because they wrongly assumed that we had the cash to pay for subsidy...oil prices were high now. What they did not see was that subsidy costs had jumped three fold between 2010-11, and were on the verge of eating our income totally by 2012.

At least, I thank God, I saw the light then, and GEJ saved Nigeria (yes, I am not his fan)...by removing subsides on diesel and kerosene, and by partially removing fuel subsides (it was the SURE-P programme where most of the savings were channeled to that proved to me that subsidy removal was not evil, and the scales fell off my eyes totally). But most Nigerians did not see that...all they saw was that fuel cost N65, now it cost 97

The problem with GEJ was that he was not bold enough to totally remove subsidy as he intended. Had he done that, by now refining would have long since been back on line. But Nigerians all want cheap fuel.

Buhari and tinubu marched because they are politicians, and all politicians are Machiavellian in nature. It is how they roll...and one good reason why I don't quite trust all politicians.

The guy also wants cheaper fuel too.

I know Nigerians very well. Minute prices goes up, everyone is calling for a revolution, lol.

It's almost like Nigerians don't understand why prices have to go up sometimes. Companies do not exist to suck up money into one rich Alhaji;s pocket....they have to pay for a host of stuff.

Yes, it’s only right cheaper fuel should be demanded for after a revolution, which is very attainable if govt owned refineries were working as they should at maximum capacity.

What’s wrong with demanding a revolution when prices of things that are already inflated go further up? Why are Nigerians so far behind when it comes to the discussion of emancipation?

I don’t fully understand your last paragraph but it suggests that you’re glorifying capitalists that are making you and I suffer. Prices of cars, wrist watchs, televisions can go as high as they want but the essentials like food, water, land, materials for housing, gas/fuel should NEVER be high. They should be close to free in fact because nobody owns them, we all found them in the soil and they grow on their own.

Stop talking nonsense. Before you call me Obidient or whatever, go through my posts to see I don't support him one bit and aligned with Asiwaju but the truth must be told. Goodluck you're calling Goatluck made every effort to remove subsidy but it's the same Tinubu that mobilised people to protest and prevent that subsidy removal for political reasons. But here you are here now, praising same Tinubu for subsidy removal. That's hypocrisy.

Fuel costs money to make. Infact we don;t have refineries because the kind of subsidy we practiced...selling fuel below its production cost and transport cost, and then trying to fix the price of transport cost so that fuel costs the same everywhere...not possible....plus corruption and stealing...side effects of price fixing...is why we did not have working refineries.

We have a working telecoms system because the telcos were allowed to set their prices, and make enough profits.

I know people like to believe that corruption is the ONLY reason why we don;t have refineries. Corruption is a side effect of the real reason...price fixing.

Ghana and Niger do not have subsides, and both have working refineries. That tells me something.


Countires that fix prices always end up with corruption , scarcity and loss of production. Russia used to set prices for everything. Result...scarcity in the 1980's. Then they embraced capitalism. Today, the shelves in Moscow are full to the brim, with a variety that did not exist back then

I agree with you on many levels.

Jonathan was a coward to back down

Tinubu and Buhari are as selfish as all other politicians so they shouldn't be painted as saints now. If they acted when they should, Nigeria would be out of the woods by now.

But better late than never right?

Nigerians were unaware and blindfolded to the true damages of subsidy payments.

It's just annoying when these minions, most of whom are either inept morally bankrupt or intellectually defective come here and start typing trash just to justify the crumbs they get.

Imagine someone saying "we are tired of making money"

The same buhari shouted that subsidy was a scam pre-his presidency yet his regime paid more than any other regime, while being praised all the way.

So it's necessary to set these imbeciles straight whenever they come cappin'

However, it's great meeting straight thinkers like you on here.

Kokori, an oil industry insider already told us about this na.

Just that Nigerians are too bigoted, tribalistic and bitter today to accept Tinubu is the man.

Coincidentally thanks to Buhari who brought out the most brutal and savage emotions in Nigerians,

He really should relocate to Niger republic for good because a lot more will come out to damn his regime.

At least squeezing these corrupt people will at least return some monies into circulation if not directly to the government cover but indirectly into the hands of lawyers and prosecutors they would engage to defend them.

This is one reason why I support Atiku and Obi-'s petition at least it would make the politician share parts of their loot with the lawyers defending them.

I agree with you. I was never a fan of GEJ and I still think Buhari bettered him in some areas of national development but the things Buhari deliberately signed up to do or not do cost thousands of lives.

That is Hitler-style callousness. I.e exterminate Jews so Aryan supremacy can be preserved. So many died because Buhari wanted to empower Fulanis.

He literally gave them carte blanche to do as they please through every region of Nigeria to include murder, rape, plundering of livelihood, sabotage, terrorism etal .

No good he did can ever be greater than his deliberate bad actions and inaction Buhari would have known would lead to the death of so many Southerners and Non-Fulanis. Very creepy.

Shut up, Tinubu was part of the unpatriotic elements that frustrated the removal of subsidy in the past for political interest. They were the people misinforming and lying to people. The ones lying are now in power they have to swallow their shame and remove the shambolic subsidy they helped to entrench, no one is there to stage Ojota rally to oppose them because the people that ought to oppose now have always been on the side of the truth.

Majority population of successful revolution share common language and religion

I agree! The move by Europeans amalgamating Nigeria sent us centuries back because it means Nigeria is yet to fight the series of tribal/civil wars that’ll set a strong foundation of UNITY OF LANGUAGE in each region, something we already enjoyed before white people. Unity of Language is the first instinct of humans for defence and safety.

I think in Southern Europe alone they fought about 3 civil wars.

It is only after a society has found UNITY OF LANGUAGE that they naturally proceed to have a strong foundation of UNITY OF PURPOSE. Common enemy changes from other languages speakers to your own language speaker wey dey do you and that’s always the govt.

It’s in the Unity of Purpose phase that people of common language decide that they are all the same people and the political class do not deserve better than them. Discussions of whose ethnic group’s turn it is never arises and there’s a strong sense of unity in whatever course of action they take.

According to history, the next Nigerian civil war is perhaps inevitable. Despite keeping Nigerian history away from kids at school to create a more docile population and less revolutionary-type youths, we still have symptoms of a fractured society with Ipob, Boko Haram and Oduduwa Agitators since school is not the only place people learn. Humans learn by watching too.

It’s a matter of time, I guess. No better recipe for a civil war than a crippling economy, selfish govt officials and an everyday recovering tribe in the east that’s been marginalized.
