Nchara:
Those people like you calling Jonathan Igbo are ignorant idiots. Are you an ignorant ?
Go and protest the killing of innocent people by islamic fundamentalists. That is the right thing to do.

I have told you several time that we are currently protesting against Boko haram and the killing of people in the north along side other issues.

Already I have commended GEJ for trying to replace the current IG with his Kinsman since the current is not save guarding the lives of the people

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-841897.0.html

Also I expect the SE governors to protest against Boko haram and the killing of Igbo by them but rather they sit there.

SMDH

VoodooDoll:
[size=14pt]If GEJ's kinsman is the most competent, then GEJ should appoint him fortwith.[/size] However all the cries about Federal Character etc may be at odds with this.

GBAMMMMM

I support GEJ on this one. If the previous IG cannot safe guild the lives of people, then he should be booted out. Shekena

Nchara:
Duh!!!!! it is based on zonal  (not tribal since Jonathan is not Igbo) sentiment, if you say so. BTW, is Jonathan from the SE?

On that basis, we also know that those SW and northern protesters are rented by ACN and Buhari.

So who rented the Igbos in the SW and northern protests?

You are a confused malu.

to you Jonathan is not Igbo. Yes

To others he is. Yes

Now there are Igbos protesting in the NW, SW, NE, NC, EDO, DELTA but when push comes to shovel people would say otherwise (ie igbos did not protest)

Yes I know there are some good intentional Igbos doing what is right for the country but with Peter Obi tribalising the issue. I mean

First No protest on "occupy Nigeria"

People thought you people did jsut not want to protest because of some issues which I understand

Second no industrial action, Thus this tells me that SE are not only supporting the removal without accountability but also support it since he is Igbo.

This to me is what I see and I tell you it is a BIG SHAME that at this point of our Nation, Tribalism is still very much part of our politics even though it does not favour anyone.

A BIG SHAME . !!!

Nchara:
Rented by whom? So many uninformed mo/ro/ns on cyberspace.

Nope he is not a Mor.on

every right thinking Nigeria what to believe they are rented because if not then the only other reason for their action is based on zonal and TRIBAL SENTIMENT and no other. Already people are asking why the SE did not protest because of such reasons.

So please allow people to believe they are have sold out for money rather than tribalism.

Na wa oooo !!!!!

raybest:
It is so sad that most of us are so biased and filled with ethnic or tribal and religious sentiments. who among us that really understand fuel subsidy 100%? Is it not possible we seek knowledge about it before making offensive comments? Have we asked ourselves why Adams Oshomole, governor of Edo state and former chairman of NLC, who once kicked against price-increment of petroleum now support the move for subsidy removal? I think if the monies that will be saved from the process are used for the wise purpose of mr. President, it will be for our own good.

Please use your other IDs and stop registering new one OK!!!

Stop acting stu.pid and stop thinking like a fish because of tribalism.

It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry

1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president.

5. Now remove subsidy.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now.

Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ?

What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ?

IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ?

Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ?


In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing.

I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest.

I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad.

In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names.

In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country.

This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves.

Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!!

All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor.

Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed.

In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?.

[size=14pt]THIS IS MY RESPONSE TO THESE LIARS![/size]

*One Refinery Costs about $6Billion.  :-  Two will cost about $12Billion.
*When JONATHAN came into Government(just before his election), [size=14pt]THE EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT HAD $23BILLION IN IT[/size]
[size=18pt]
*IF YOU DID NOT BUILD NEW REFINERIES WHEN WE HAD THE MONEY IN CASH (Jonathan SHARED AND LOOTED THE MONEY WITH THE GOVERNORS!),
*So, it is NOW that you need to REMOVE SUBSIDY TO SAVE MONEY TO BUILD TWO REFINERY?
[/size]
C'mmon, we are NOT FOOLS as you think!

Go feck yourself, silly LIARS

Lastpage

BTW: I stand to be corrected by ANY Government APOLOGIST, if the above IS NOT TRUE

Actually One refinery cost 2.5 billion dollars not 6 billion of capacity of 450,000 barrels a day

A third of you estimate, thus with 6 billion dollars, we can buld at least 2 refinaries of 450,000 barrels/day and 1 refinary of 200,000 a day

a total of 3 refineries can be built with 6 billion dollars

LOL from ethnic bigots

why not tackel the issue rather than Insult ?

Ekiti1:
Abi?
Subsidy must go. Agreed.
But put these things in place first. SIMPLE!
Is this rocket science?
Must we wait for foreigners (so called investors) to build refineries for us?
Hahaa!

thinking they are smart, they have become dumb

Lujan:
I am so happy with d manner @
which concerned citizens of this
country are responding to issue of subsidy removal. This have proved dat we cannot be fooled by our leaders again. But let me ask, what will be your response if GEJ fulfills all his promises & in no distant time things get working well for Nigeria? Can those of us who has INSULTED their PRESIDENT stand d shame? Pls, let's give him a chance, and if he fails, we can crucify him. Remember, he wont fail us if we dont try him. Also let's show that there is such thing like RESPECT-for-our-leaders in our cultures & norms as we reply.

Give him a chance. HE HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE, HE IS NOW OUR PRESIDENT. Haba

the chance is that the GREAT PEOPLE OF NIGERIA ENTRUSTED HIM AS THE PRESIDENT.

what other chance do you want from the people ?

Yes those insulting the president are dumb I agree.

Now why should Nigerian be looking again ? Do you want to ruin US FINALLY before you know we have taken enough ?

Lastly, this is not about GEJ but the entire government from Local, state and federal

Three New Refineries Coming Says Works Minister
« on: Today at 09:24:14 PM »

Abuja – The Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, says part of the benefits that will accrue to Nigerians from the withdrawal of fuel subsidy will be the building of three new refineries.

The minister who spoke at a forum in Abuja on Sunday said this would help Nigeria to process its crude and meet local consumption.

“Nigerians should know that this oil resource has been given to this country over the years have not been properly managed. We have another opportunity to get it right.

“Niger Republic and so many of our neighbouring countries are building refineries around us with the intention to sell to Nigeria and with this deregulation policy one of the major gains will be the building of three new refineries.

“I want Nigerians to know that when these new refineries are completed, we will be a net exporter of petroleum product and prices will begin to come down, just like we are witnessing in the telecommunications sector with the GSM regime.

“That is my message to Nigerians. Let us support government, let us join hands with government because government cannot and will not take any decision with the aim of punishing fellow Nigerians. It is impossible. So, Nigerians should have this at the back of their minds.’’

The minister said the refineries would be located in Lagos, Bayelsa and Kogi states.

“The one in Lagos is with the capacity of 200,000 barrels per day, while the ones in Kogi and Bayelsa have the capacity to produce 100,000 barrels per day,’’ Onolememen said.

He added that what would be produced by these new refineries would complement the production by existing refineries which would all have had their on-going turnaround maintenance completed.

The turnaround maintenance “will bring the production capacity of the existing four refineries to between 90 per cent and 95 per cent.’’

Onolememen expressed confidence that the increased level of production would enhance Nigeria’s status as a net exporter of petroleum products. (NAN)

It seems like you cannot comprehend my post, Ok I would post it again and Highlight the important parts

"They shld stop deceiving themselves. If Nigerian govt. can't build new refineries without removing fuel subsidy, they shld damn it. That's one of the things that must (needed to) be in place b4 they start dreaming about removing subsidy. If FG don't have money to build the refineries, they shld use one (or two) month salary and allowances of FEC, Upper & Lower House to build them as their own part of the sacrifice to the Nigerian course.

Secondly, we want the FG to show us a blue print that must be implemented, on how those that have cases to answer in the oil sector and Nigerian Economy will be probed, to regulate corruption."

DRANOEL:
i keep hearing cabal,cabal,cabal,cabal!! ah ah are they ghost? why is that this govt is always giving excuses on a nameless cabal?

good question

that is one thing they would not answer

Why not arrest these cabal or are they Larger than Nigeria as a country ?

LeoMax:
[b]Government has no business in business, the global economic model worldwide is privatization with government holding portfolio in refineries to enable her influence price in favor of citizens. No Investor will ever commence investing billions into building refineries when PMS is sold at a "fixed" and subsidized margin of 65naira. Its the main reason why all the companies that were issued licenses to build refineries never built it. Once the sector is De-regulated, private players both home and abroad will make FDI into the down stream sector. The effect will be magical job creations and other multiplying effects, more filling stations, more refineries, more petrochemical firms. The 141 is very temporal because as soon as more refineries come on board price will be determined by local market forces.  

[size=13pt]They shld stop deceiving themselves. If Nigerian govt. can't build new refineries without removing fuel subsidy, they shld damn it.

In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing.

I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest.

I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad.

In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names.

In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country.

This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves.

Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!!

All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor.

Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed.

In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?.

bilaya:
Fools.You people can never be original.So because Americans called theirs occupy wall street we are calling ours occupy Nigeria?

what an ideeiot, who cares about america ?

Oboy wake up and smell the coffee, the people are fighting against corruption

Beaf:
I said this elsewhere to the same article:

The excerpts below fairly jump at anyone who takes their time to actually read and digest the article:

In simple words, Achebe supports the removal, but not its timing. The timing is govts own card to play, cos they know their enemies best and strategise accordingly.

Nuff said.
I agree with the above. Now that the battle is open, the people MUST pour into the streets to support a lonely President in his battle against deeply entrenched interests, vultures, hyena's and the filthy creeping creatures of the night that hold a knife to the national jugular. GEJ cannot do it alone.

We MUST demand that heads roll and give our solid backing. In turn, the govt must do its utmost to transparently lighten the burden on the masses.

It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry

1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption

2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that

3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation.

4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president.

5. Now remove subsidy.

Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are

1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people

2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos

3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta

4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now.

Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ?

What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ?
