The fuel subsidy removal is not a bad thing! It will be difficult at the beginning, I know, but, it's a great move. It is a great sacrifice for the betterment of our great Country tomorrow! Our only concern now should be on the wise usage of the subsidy fund. The next thing we should talk about is the palliative measures to cushion the weight of the hike in the price of fuel. Retrospectively, Who could have believed that a poor man could own a cell phone in Nigeria? Please, let us take it easy, it is for good, Most of our neigbours are not on fuel subsidy. In Ghana for instance, fuel goes for about N184 (Converted), & they are surviving & making meaningful progress. Subsidy removal is not a crime but a way forward. God bless Nigeria, |

Don't mind Nigerians. The semi-illiterates never tire to whine. Even those that cannot spell subsidy are complaining.  |

First of all, you're very stupid for opening a topic like this. You talk about Ghana, and they're in darkness, right? I mean, to tell you how shameful your post is; Nigeria is among the country which wants to buy Electricity from Ghana. Imagine oh, and can you compare amount of people living in Ghana and Nigeria? Second poster, you're in America and you're shouting. Ah! Why you no come back to Nigeria come see as life be. No light, no security, no nothing, Fresh FIRE! |

I support it, but just like IBB said, it was ill-timed. We have to much problems on our hands right now and we are compiling them with this. For christ sake, jonathan could have picked a better time for this, not now. My pity goes to those stranded in their villages because of high cost of transportation. 1 Like |

Like I said on another thread, it's really not that bad. It was an answer to a silent prayer. This period forces Nigerian men to start trekking, for them to acquire some leg muscles, some upper/lower built. Potbelly has now become inevitable for Nigerian men. Enough of the flat behind and skinny legs, waistless etc. . . . ugh. . . . most lazy set of male species I've ever come upon. That shoit can be so freaking irritating. A typical Nigerian man looks like a freaking pansy. My gosh, do you guys even know what ppl do in the gym?  1 Like |

There is no "subsidy fund" forthcoming. They already sent the budget to the Senate - did you see any provisions for refineries, etc. Even if they were going to build refineries as promised, it would take 6 years not 6 months. These are the facts: 1) Petrol is an essential commodity; 2) A doubling in price of an essential commodity is a cruel policy - even 10% increases in gasoline prices in the rich developed countries is viewed with disapproval; 3) Most Nigerians are barely surviving even with the subsidies - now they have been dropped down a well and told, it will be well with you in the long-run. In reality, there is nothing like the long-run; everything in life happens in the short-run. Pilotman: |

@Op I agree with you. fuel subsidy is a big drain on the economy. If we are to avoid going the way of Greece in future, subsidy removal is just about the right thing to do NOW. Tomorrow might be too late. all those doomsday scenarios are as simplistic as they are too far-fetched. Some simple human traits like adaptability, innovation, and invention are not factored in. poor or not we will thrive even in this no subsidy era. Let us allow this policy a chance. |

Pilotman: It's a good thing but i'm very sure they won't use the subsidy funds wisely. Some people would send the money abroad while we suffer for nothing. God should help us |

Yet to see the benefits of fuel subsidy as expected on this thread. Someone mentioned fuel price in ghana is 184naira, it has not always been so. It was just recently increased and the bank of ghana made it clear it Is because of IMF recommendation. Ghana residents will not feel the effect much because the price had been above equivalent of 100naira for sometime. Also, the economic indices are far better than ours, more jobs are been created in ghana, massive infrastructure development have been on-going before the fuel price increase. Try and follow any friend in Ghana to his village and see the good roads leading to the hinterland. And the recurrent expenditure there is not high. MPs there earn about $4000 monthly compared to how much we spend on our legislators. Usage of Petrol is not high like naija, even if you compute per capital consumption levels. How many homes have generators?how much fuel is consumed by industries in Ghana when electricity is relatively stable and predictable? The effect in ghana is not much felt like Naija, |

Since when have you known Nigerian Leaders to follow-through with positive reforms and make sure they last Ignorant Nigerians will always remain at the bottom of this pile of turd called Corruption  Be it Shagari's austerity measures, or IBB's Structural Adjustment Programme or Better LIfe for Rural Women or MAMSER or SURE or whatever name Reform Corruption goes by these days - It is SURE that Monies accruing from Subsidies removal will be squandered silently while we all go to Redeemed Camp or whatever flea-infested worship grounds we go to week-in-week-out. It is not a bad thing SURE wait till 4 years after when multiple probes start coming out on what has been squandered thus far History is never a lesson for Nigerians Old and Young Fu@#&n Returrds1 Like |

I am so angry with this pilotman and lasinoh.What about the subsidy that was removed by OBJ, what was the money used for? The leaders have eaten Nigeria's future and there is no more money to embezzle and they want the man on the street to pay for it. Sanusi lamido Sanusi in the conference organized recently said he cant remember the last time he bought fuel and we all know that there is no free lunch anywhere and someone has to pay the fuel this guys are getting for free. According to Sanusi, 1/3 of Nigerian budget is going to fuel subsidy and 2/3 to other things.80% of this2/3 is used to pay the salaries of this silly fraudsters in power that dont pay for fuel.They eat their cake and have it and u this people dear call us illiterates.Why cant GEJ reduce their salaries and allowances.Sambo earns #992,000,000 for feeding per annum.Imagine that and u want us to keep quiet. I am sure those that support this movement for subsidy removal get free PMS or u are not in this country or they are some of the people that will profit from the removal. There is also no power supply, you have to purchase fuel for your generator, fuel your car etc. Sanusi also mentioned that our fuel consumption has increased how wont it when so many organisations can no longer rely on PHCN for power supply and each individual in this country has become a local government on its own.Provide your own water, road, power supply etc.Our government is the most irresponsible world wide. |

In theory subsidy removal is not a bad thing. The problem is the so called president wants to spend 1billion on food for two families. @op What sacrifice has the goverment made or is it only the masses that should suffer?? |

Don't mind Nigerians. @lasinoh, those of you that can spell very well are simply the problem of nigeria. what can u spell? at the end of the day, u can't speak ur language rather u can speak and spell a borrowed language, live a borrowed life and remain a borrowed slave for the rest of your life. is ghana the no six oil producing country of this world? is ghana in darkness? do u hear ghanians discuss a bankole that stole over N50b or a bode george that stole over N100B or an obasanjo that impose his candidates on the nation? we are talking about the poor masses that are using generators not even those with cars. invariably, most ppl abroad only know that fuel can be used in cars and cars alone but here, everybody owns a generator and that means, everybody is using fuel. why won't u know how to spell when u sit under airconditions and enjoy good life courtsy of good governance. tell nigerians that obama will tell americans that him and his vice will eat N1B only on food in a year and that will come from tax payers'money. |
