hercules07: You guys are just incredible, Fashola guaranteed the right of people to protest, you could see it in his body language that he supported the subsidy removal, where GEJ lost him was to send soldiers to Lagos without his consent, GEJ needs to learn how to play politics and stay on the side of those who give him tacit support. GEJ also needs to have some grey matter, he left leprosy and was curing ring worm.

kingoflag: Yeah, we hear you Retardeen. These same turncoat Governors are also the ones that force you to eat $30,000 per day meals and read N500,000,000 newspapers.

SMH. What a bloody crook. Chief Presidential terrorist. Instead of trying to buy sympathy why not try telling us about the missing Trillions from NNPC that your homegirl Diezani-Madueke has pilfered into her private accounts? Is this also the fault of the Governors or are you going to drop a few more bombs just to divert prying eyes from scrutiny as you've always done in the past?

I can't believe some morons are actually defending this lying crook.

LeoMax: Why do I think you a daft ?

[size=14pt]Governors Urge FG to remove fuel subsidy[/size]

A major showdown is imminent over the N18,000 minimum wage.

Governors have asked the Federal Government to immediately remove subsidy on petroleum products and haul the proceeds into the Federation Account to be shared. This, in their view, will give the states more cash to pay the least paid worker N18,000.

But labour seems to be opposing the removal of subsidy as a pre-condition for the implementation of the law on the payment of the minimum wage.

The governors took the decision to press for the removal of subsidy on petrol products, which the government says costs billions monthly at the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) meeting on Tuesday night in Abuja.

Besides removal of subsidy, the governors insist on the need to review the revenue allocation formula, which is lopsided in favour of the Federal Government.

It takes 52 per cent. The 36 states share 26.72 per cent and the 774 local governments take 20.60 per cent.

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola Committee raised by the governors has recommended a review of the revenue allocation as follows: Federal Government (35 per cent), States (42 per cent) and local governments (23 per cent). The report has been approved by the Forum.

The implementation of that report topped the agenda of the governors’ delegation’s meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday at the Aso Villa in Abuja.

The governors’ delegation was led by Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the chairman of the Forum. Other members of the seven-man team are Governors Fashola (Lagos), Tanko Makura (Nasarawa), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Sullivan Chime (Enugu), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo) and Patrick Yakowa (Kaduna).

jaybee:

i agree with you on this point totally except the use of the word retardeen[/b]which i don't quite comprehend the meaning, especially as relates to mr. president.

dayokanu: I have never seen a more reetarded president on this earth who gives excuses and seeks to shift blame for every action

today its the governors who advised you remove subsidy?

What a Retardeeen

johnwell: It's so unfortunate that The Destiny of a Great nation (Nigeria) lies in the hands of a COMMON fisherman (Gee-Ee-Jay )

muyoto: unprecedented increase in poverty, mind-boggling revelations of corruption occurring under his watch, yet our dear GEJ has considered it timely to increase the cost of two very essential commodities that have a direct impact on the average Nigerian, fuel and electricity tariff, in less than a year.

Oga Jona you do well o!

Beaf:

The foolishness in Nigeria is encapsulated in ethnic bigotry. You take the fools crown, bro. Clap for yourself.

johnwell: "he who knows not that he knows not is a full"

Beaf:

If GEJ had not kicked against the subsidy, would you have known from now till doomsday, what has been going on for decades?
For the first time, we have a President who wishes to end the system, but there are old bats, winshes and demons who feel so pained by his decision that they blame hime for saving the country from such a tragic path.

Pity.

Shattap my friend. we all knew the rot going on especially the NNPC who itself is a major importer itself. The KPMG report released months before this also shed more light on the mess going on. The RETARDEEN (show ursef dumbo ) simply wanted to sweep the rot under the carpet and start another fraud but we all said No.

Show your girl your post. Now show her mine. Dont tell her who is who. Now kill yourself as you hear her call the writer of your piece an imb.ecile. Try not to strangle her either.

Mo%ron!

Beaf:

Fashola caused the most shock, especially as he was the chief promoter of subsidy removal.

Fashola was the head of the committee of governors that first recommended it to the FG. But in an acrobatic move of dazing proportions, he became the chief lover of Ojota park.

Olaolufred:

beaf, He is not ending anything.
He Inherited 272 billion Naira Subsidy in 2007.
GEJ and Yaradua made it 3 times in 2008.
Made it 1.3trillion in 2011 only.(though House of Rep probe now found out it is 3 million). (3T/2.72B means it is 11x what it used to be in 2007).
Nigerians asked whether our population had increased 11 times, but no one could answer.We asked whether our population had doubled what it was in 2007, and they were mute like a dumb. So Beaf where comes your justifications?
Why should he be praised for a demonic system He created.
He definitely would have been quiet if not that He is engulfed in the pit of corruption he dug for himself in the sector within two years after the demise of Yaradua. He was looting our treasury until the money there becomes too lean for more withdrawal. Then He felt masses should suffer for their 3 trillion scandal.
How do you now praise such a Man? You may, but Nigerians are wiser than that.
Thanks.

egift:
The worm is looking for pity. Ain't giving any. He knows it was a bad policy, yet he agreed and now want some sympathy. Jona, everything ends on your table - you are a spineless leader. Always prostrating before your gang with policies against Nigerians.

And here, uncooked Kanda and his thugs will want us to believe Governors in opposition parties are the majority. How many PDP governors sided with the people against the horrible policy, I guess that will not matter - bunch of lepers - keep plaguing the place.
