Our refneries cannot work for the same reason NITEL could not work for the same reason PHCN is not working:
The average ordinary suffering Nigerian, working in NNPC will rather inflate the cost of running his department to make extra income, rather than making sure that the refinery is working.

If you vote in money to NNPC, it will be shared among the "stake holders", Ministers, senators, house of rep members, NNPC staffs, the police, Navy, army, lawyers, judges, etc. The gateman will work with those inside admin to steal and loot the place, because "na government thing".

Even locally refined fuel are treated as 'imported" with "duty" and "subsidy" paid.

Subsidy is the great paltform for the corruption empire.

Mr. President has simply pulled down the platform. Complete deregulation is what we need. The evidence of Telcom sector and Nitel is enough for any one that cares. Those who oppose deregulation of the petroluenm sector are either ignorant or simply mischeivious.

With respect to your ascertion about whether those not from the SE are illitrates, you must know that we are capitalists in the SE: It is natural for us to mind our business and allow market forces to determine prices. The bane of our economy is entreprenuership, so we will surely move with the trend.

We support complete deregulation! Competition will force prices down just like that of the GSM.

Let us give Mr. President a chance. After this, next will be the power sector.

lol @d bolded,, So what will happened after the protest against fuel subsidy removal? I just hope those Xtians up there will not fall my hand, this another way they will use to kill Xtians and loot thier properties becos GEJ is a Xtian and not a muslim.

ACF said Boko Haram could not speak for majority of Muslims, let alone for the whole North.

Boko Haram can’t speak for North

However, in its reaction, ACF, through its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Anthony Sani said: ‘’There have been such threats from both the south and the north of recent. But our attitudes have been that they are are better ignored, precisely because just as those from the south cannot speak for the good people of the south, Boko Haram cannot claim to speak for majority of Muslims,let alone for the North. In any case, there are Muslims in both North and South.

“We still urge Boko Haram to use the available due process of addressing grievances in the country to address their concerns rather than harassing innocent people who are not even aware of what the sect stands for.

’’Constructive engagement for the purpose of true reconciliation that go with genuine forgiveness is about the only path to peaceful coexistence needed for socio-economic and political development of Nigeria.”

Source please  . . .them say too plenty this few hours  

jmaine:

I like the sound of it except the following:-

The source is not a verifiable strong source

The call does not cater for Christians protection after the Fuel subsidy protest . . .meaning after that, anything can happen

All the same . .I like the sound of it . .can they expand their vow to last after the protest and throughout the duration of the year   . . .

Alj Harem . .Sure you are not making this up   . . .

The best news of the century. Let us learn from them. By this singular move, we can checkmate those that want to incite religious war in our land.

Our problem is not religion, our problem is good governance.


Calling one an Aboki marks you an uneducated . Why don't you grow up. Do you prefer religion over good life? Are you ready to go out there fighting a useless religious war for no reason? Are u ready to be a tool in the hands of external manipulative interest?

the strategy is to revert to a middle price say N100, then beaf will come and tell us he is a listening president  

nigeria= so predictable!!

lets give dem a benefit of doubt   

It is untrue that I have threatened to resign from serving my dear country. No one person is bigger than Nigeria. We will continue to work.

There is no subsidy protest in Benin. People should stop lying.

I am in Benin now. People are not pleased though, but they have
taken it in good faith believing that GEJ will not disappoint.

Benin is calm.

When a national issue of THIRD TERM AGENDA of Former President OBJ, came i thought we all fought it together regardless of tribe and region except for a few due to parochial interest, why are now treating this Serious National Issue with tribal sentiment?
Lets be liberal and do the right thing together for the benefit of our future.

Chyz*:

The story is filled with lies. It has nothing to do with GEJ's kinsmen. This just a protest in PH. The ex-militants have come out recently to protest against not receiving amnesty.

I am from the SE and we are educating the people we can to allow deregulation.

where is the protest holding in warri? @Alh Arem

see mumu, you claim you are supplying food to the south but you can't afford to feed yourselves. what a wise a you are. You guys are so hardworking that an igbo man will leave his place with nothing but sheer determination, settle in your place and within a few yrs, buy up land (your heritage) and still employ your lots and their families as gatemen and you are here beating your chest that you are doing good.
Oponu alakori eniyan

warrior01:

ok, lets get talking; the so called 'food' you supplied to the south (as if the south doesn't grow their own food) were they not fully paid for and for good profit? why didn't you start clamouring for the govt to start subsidising every cow, onions, tomatoes etc as that would make more sense rather than subsidizing pms a finite product? Don't you think an average nigerian would prefer his food subsidised rather than petrol? my guy, wake up cos the game is up. there is nothing like free lunch no more

warrior01:

alja-rem, thanks for coming outta of the closet i know it has never been about the laudable fuel subsidy removal but about power. Now to debunk your lies, when did the north as a whole ever contributed any meaningful thing to the development of this lopsided country. You guys were never ready for independence (freedom) from the imperialist. Even with the competition amongst the regions then, how far did you people go? you guys are always scared of change. Thank God the MB are gradually waking up. you are not even ashamed since 1914, you have been contributing beggars, diseases and what have you up to this day. shame on you and your likes and, as for me and my region, we don't need fuel subsidy (crumbs), we need true federalism cos that we bring out the best in us and that's how you know a real 'man'.

in the whole time i've been visiting this site, this is the first time i've seen nigerians (north and south) come together on anything. interesting.

but i believe the move is the right one. goodluck jonathan has proved himself to be a strongman. i hope he stands firm.

what is fueling the anger is infact the impression (or is it concrete knowledge?) that corrupt politicans are milking nigeria dry. Make the fight about that, not about subsidy removal. Cus as at now, the rest of the world is really not that sympathetic to your cause.

Make the fight about corrupt politicians and you really have a movement the rest of the world can rally behind and support.

alja-rem and co, are you guys not tired of bei.g beggars? Can't you guys be creative for once instead of waiting for handouts? gosh!!!! you guys are pathetic. Reasonable people are putting the pressure of various tiers of govt on how to be accountable for every penny earned and you are here planning how to burn down the country because the man from bayelsa wants to show your likes how to fish instead of waiting for the crumbs from your bigoted paymasters.
Why is the so called protest not for full resource control? why is it not for an SNC that would lay a new foundation for the nation and determine the kind of govt that would spur competition amongst the various geo political zones? You all agree that the country is being ripped off and in dire need of infrastructural development but yet, you are not ready to sacrifice the crumbs being thrown at you. I've come to realize that the so called protests have some political undertones as most of you can't still bear the fact that GEJ, a minority is in power and wants to change the status quo through his transformation agenda.
