so many confused people

This has taken a sectional direction. Most house of rep members from the south-south are supporting removal of subsidy

Not all South-South, I think I have seen a few that were against the removal of subsidy.

It is sad that the arguments for and against have been filled with speculation and all sorts of innuendo. No hard facts.

Remove House Of Assembly Subsidy Now!

Yea. Is only the north that don't want subsidy to be removed cause of what dey gain frm it

You are here talking of debate while Jonah has finished sharing the buses

@ Muskeeto

Ok I get you. I just hope other Nairalanders will see it as you do. Some people wanna burst out with emotions without adequately accessing the situation. I just hope things turn out good at the end.

This Akwa Ibom man is a bit composed but he has started confusing himself.

ceejayluv:

As long as they have not talked about slashing their obscene salaries and allowances, they are not yet serious on the debate, The economy is at stake here and nobody is giving alternatives to curtail the budget deficit and sundry economic woes- SLASH YOUR ENTITLEMENTS BY 50%!!! then add the savings from subsidy removal. (my opinion)

Let them give specific amounts in millions of naira of how much they will slash from their salaries and allowances AFTER stating how much they earn currently.

Thank you.  The average Nigerian would support his kinsman even though the same man is robbing him blind.   One of reps from Bayelsa said that there are no Federal roads in Bayelsa.  And guess what?  He still supported Jonathan.

GEJ brothers not making sense at all. The more they try to defend subsidy removal, the more they expose their ignorance.

gbammm, too many confused people in nigeria

No Federal road in Bayelsa, People already buy fuel 300/litre yet what has Goodluck Jonathan in the past 12yrs as Deputy governor, Governor, Vice President and President done about it

'The government CANNOT be lieing'!!! This guy must be a ex-houseboy for GEJ. Rubbish

From this DEBATE, it is so OBVIOUS that the HAUSA/FULANI (majority) are the ones RUNNING Nigeria, that's very GOOD. If it takes them to REVISE the subsidy, so be it. but, the rest of Nigerians should BURY their head in SHAME.

If dem no support GEJ cum back here I go wire dem. We can't betray our own kinsman

Nairalanders have started again, "southerner", "northerner", do you think the senators' position for/against subsidy is as a result of where they come from? make una chill abeg. Anyways if that is true then it means we are actually being led by lower animals, otherwise make una just chill and remove all these sentiments wey una they attach when posting here. Mtcheew

See this people , laughing and talking nonsense and big grammar   People can't buy fuel or even kerosene to cook No jobs   no roads   no security   no infrastructure whatsoever   Pure water is now 10 naira and this adults can't even maintain orderliness or at least try to look sober Who will help poor    Who is feeling the pain of the Poor masses  

So Karibu from Bayelsa  is on government side

only delta ibos support removal of petrol subsidy the rest deltans are against it.

@ studyineu "If dem no support GEJ precipitate back here I go wire dem. We can't betray our own kinsman"

Na your kinsman dey feed you mtcheew

Asita honorable you have spent 4 minutes thanking instead of addressing the issue

Stop this asss kissing of thanking thanking

Rep Asita Honourable, another Jonathan kinsman on his feet.  It would be nice if all the reps supporting removal of  subsidy can agree to a reduction in their salaries and allowances.

what is this man asita saying sef? the rest are making fun of him now

The highlighted made me read my post again. I meant I'm against Subsidy removal. Sorry abt the mix up.

@ekwah. E no concern you. I can't stand de shame of other countries company like shell taking our oil out refine it take their share abd cones back and tell us the price to buy from them. Our own oil imagine. Since nigeria is broke let GEJ remove subsidy and build refineries here if they will be faithful to their word. They have my support

It is a pity that this is degenerating into a regional tussle on NL. The ND that is being touted as champion; no be their elected members, with all the largesse of extra resources from natural resources, no be dem dey share de money? They have been receiving massive allocations from the centre for years. What have they got to show for it? Bayelsa state, what do you have to show for the large amount of allocation based on the natural resources derived from your land Sam goes for the rest of the oil-producing states!!!

I support this man from Kogi

Some of these reps are no different from  Agberos.  They just come across like bloody ruffians. It just shows the lack of standards in public life that we have in Nigeria.
