So be it.
Eating from where they didn't sow
Removing subsidy is a disaster to neighboring countries

seunlayi:
This is what supposed to be since 2012 if they haven't opposed GEJ attempt to remove subsidy. Imagine how far we would have gone by now

If GEJ really mean business back then. No amount of protest would have made him return the subsidy.

nairalanda1:


Most Nigerians are still opposed to subsidy removal

Goodluck wasn't bold enough

Sonnobax15:

For this single act, I've Personally vowed to love President Tinubu for life, regardless of the fact that I'm being hit by its side effects......But one thing is so certain,and that's the fact that nothing good comes so easily without any sacrifice....

Was he not the same person that sponsored protest against the same subsidy?

IconicR:
My amiable president is trying, he'll surely take us there. Nigerians calm down, we will laugh last. Hold me responsible if Asiwaju fails.

No single government can better the life of any Nigerian. Out destiny to be poor or rich lies in our hands.

Oh my God!!!

IconicR:

What is Tinubu and were is he taking us to?

Where did buhari take nigerians to?

Tinubu said buhari was the only solution nigeria needed. Tinubu is a better liar than you. So what are you talking about?

treatise:

Goodluck wasn't bold enough

Yep....the thing is, politicans have to think of the next election. Removing fuel subsidy totally...would have meant N150 and above for fuel prices in 2012, which means that PDP gets voted out in 2015 in a mega landslide.

(One governor in the Southwest once sacked excess workers in the civil service. It was a bold decision, a brave decision, but he got voted out, his successor hired all the sacked workers again, and paid them salaries...result..by the time Aregbe took over, it was becoming difficult to pay the full salaries...so...partial payment. Chickens came home to roost).

Not just GEJ...all our leaders from Gowon to Buhari part 2 were not bold enough. Even Abacha did not remove subsidy.

That Nigerians are tolerating Tinubu removal of subsidy is just silence of the grave. Kenya that had subsidy removal in the first 24 hours of the new president some months ago is now seeing protests against the government.

Eran ewure ni e🙄

No, the fuel price hike hit the poorest Nigerians hardest!

Anybody wey get sense to go and lease som land and secure your food for the coming months whilst it still rainy season.

The hunger Tinubu is gonna create in the land , no dey get part 2.

Bro this is not time for this ok that time has passed likely ignorant then but when the reality sank in the adjustment is necessary and it was done.

Imagine these so much Jerrycan sipping fuel on daily routine this is wickedness no more justification for this crime.

Stop blaming Nigerians for GEJ failure, he was a coward. And funny enough, someone from a region you guys regarded as cowards are taking the bold decisions now. GEJ was an ineffective and weak leader who had no balls, he was bereft of ideas and political will to do anything progressive.
No leader will backdown on subsidy removal when more than half of national revenue goes into subsidizing petrol, but because he had no balls and Nigeria was making alot of money from crude sales, he chicken out of the decision, easy pissy, it wasn't his idea originally, he was advised to do it. So it was easy for him to exit the idea as he was not sure of himself or what he was doing.

Dude spoke in Hausa language, E choke oOoOO . All the shade was for fuel storage and land more than 100hectares for fuel offloading. He said money for schools, hospital and roads ends for benefit of neigbouring countries. This video na eye opener but customs officials seizures of petrol from southern borders then

Abemy:


Buhari, not Tinibu removed subsidy.

Buhari don't have mind to remove subsidy it's Tinubu

seanfer:

Not really because he never meant to, the timing was wrong.
It was during holiday, everyone was at home so there was enough idle hands to protest, coupled with the party(PDP) not protecting their flag bearer (GEJ).
Opposition find a good time to showcase themselves.
Cash crisis is even worse, but people were at work trying to find a way around it, if the crisis started during holiday, it could have turned to something else if the opposition played their game right, but they covertly supported it, so they were in a tight corner in pushing the masses for a protest

Antiurchins:
If they have allowed GEJ to remove subsidy in 2012 by now we should be looking at N300 NNPC price.


Do you know the weird thing about Nigerians? The suffering they endured under Buhari and they are willing to endure BAT they won't endure it under GEJ or any Igbo man as President. A lot of people enjoyed under GEJ yet they tagged him an Igbo man and cursed the hell out of him. As if na Igbo man spoil Nigeria.

Imagine it is obi that is dishing all the policies Tinubu is dishing, by now there would be massive protest in lagos. Is how we think it’s alright for a siting president to remove what he was against years ago. No ideology and principles.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
After sponsoring protests against Jonathan because of Politics? It's too late to remove subsidy without facing the consequences

What do you really want?

Can some body explain how the subsidy removal made this happen, biko make we know, we wen no understand

Opportuneke fipost=124398655:
This is impressive 👌

Subsidy is dead and gone 🦅

Never will it return, I implore my fellow Nigerians to please endure. Let’s fight it till the end. We will surely conquer.

Enough of the parasitism 💪

D irony is that u enduring a fight that u and d masses are fighting thinking the president and elite ruling are fighting with u...even massage ur ego to be Happy whilst they know pretty well u are very far from governance and how it works,or u are thier subsidy financial book keeper ok...make sure u fight well,and learn to fight d real enemies

Smiles, Bisi Akande, still my best Gov for Osun State. A friend that his dad lost his job then always get angry whenever I praise Baba Akande.
I see no reason why Osun should have more civil servants than Oyo State, it makes no sense.

GEJ still raised fuel price from N65 to approx N90 /litre, he just never hike it to the N120 he originally proposed.

Pls explain this to people that subsidy was put in place for in the first place, people that were poor and subcessible to hunger, now they are dying.. Funny how some people care about no one else as long as they get their own piece of the pie.

Petrol is expensive, they are out of business. This is where petrol was offloaded and stored

Yeah, very true

But the truth is, most of GEJ's predeccessiors had the same weakness. Even someone like Abacha , who was a strongman , did not remove subsidy when he was in power. Because he knew that meant protests.

Tinubu removing subsidy has more to do with the fact that most of our oil revenue is going into debt servicing. He literally has no choice.

It is myopism that makes people think that the NPF is more corrupt than customs.

And to imagine that some people are still against the subsidy removal in now 2023. Imagine the backwardness of their mindset

My brother, the opposition had all the badmen BAT inclusive. They sponsored the protest, who has the money in this present economy to sponsor protest. PDP were very weak, see the way NLC was silenced by BAT.
GEJ was a simp

They were opposed to it, and GEJ backed down.

Weren’t people opposed to the removal now? Did the government back down?

Subsidy is good but it was bastardized
