Eko Ile:
You really are fact becoming a nuisance and a freeking pest. When was the last time you worried about your own damn business? You don't contribute anything to any thread, when you are not doing follow follow, you are derailing threads and inciting tribal hatred with your re0tared tribal rubbish,

You're like a deadwood with no soul and zero originality, you have no personal thoughts or any kind of ability to debate anything. Siting on the sidelines and shutting your damn mouth shouldn't be too hard for you to do, try doing that sometimes.


You are nothing but bad news to every thread you show face in.

Lol tinubu butt licker dey talk

cantell:
Gbam!
Thank God, i'm not the only one.

can u shut it as u can see i do not reply bigoted mumus like u and ezeuche .

mbatuku1:
The average yoruba on the street are worried about yoruba being out of the equation, while the internet yorubas are busy denying. Lol.

Beaf:
That Pataki guy always sounded so crude. He was as uncivil as Eko Ile. There were quite a few others that made death threats on NL, in my opinion the present low on the site is the result of the extremely rabid and bigoted politics the Buhari followers introduced.

how does buhari = bigot ?

what did he do that made him a bigot ?

jmaine:
I now see why they made the loudest noise even to the point of prescribing shooting someone at the head (Pataki) for not supporting their man  . . . because " MONEY WAS AT STAKE . . .They lost a bet  

when did you change ?

jmaine:
Una no get job

whether I have a job or not is immaterial

Just beg beaf for us

Beaf my brother, I am happy that Jonathan is the President and may God spare his life and give him wisdom to rule this country.

Please beaf, as a brother and fellow Nigerian as you are. I beg you, please beg Mr president for us 

Beg him not to remove the subsidy, Abeg brother ; if you do this for me, I would never post on nairaland again and I would behave myself.   


Please Beaf please brother, at least if u do not think of my children's future, think of your children and extended family.

The current situation in Nigeria now is hard enough even at 65 Naira per litre not to talk of 142 Naira per liter.

Beaf I know you are close to Mr president and that is why You can not find any fault in him but Pleeessssse for the sake of sanity and motherhood because I am someone's child as well. Please beg Mr president not to remove the subsidy yet until we have constant electricity and we produce our own petrol though our refinaries instead of importing what we produce.

The fuel subsidy is due to be remove next year January and there is NO WAY MR PRESIDENT can do all that in 3 months.

Again Mr beaf I appeal to you, have a place in your heart to forgive Nigerians for our sins and beg Mr president not to punish us more than what we already go though.

Thanks and May God bless you and Mr president.

Beaf:
Lol! I can imagine them sweating blood, popping veins and developing hypertension. To be a vulture na very very bad tin!

On a serious note, forget el rufia and all that

Please beaf, as a brother and fellow Nigerian as you. I beg you, please beg Mr president for us

Beg him not to remove the subsidy, Abeg brother ; if you do this for me, I would never post on nairaland again and I would behave myself.

Please Beaf please brother, at least if u do not think of my childrens future, think of your children and extended family.Thanks

Mr. Reno Omokri,

You are not looking bad at all in the posted pix.

Olashore really prepped you well. Great job, Mr. Omokri.

the man is just making his money for GEJ and gullible people such as ezeuche

Beaf:
^
Why do you always derail topics? I don't understand, is it a poor brain quality issue?

Call it what you like but why did you not tell him all this when you saw him ?

You call him a drowning man etc but why not tell him face to face, I am such you have his contact

Beaf:
Exactly.
In the meantime, I can see how extremely pained some are that the man who stands on their tainted pulpit declared GEJ to be both clean and honest. Winshes and their cackling ways.

Beaf keep deceiving the gullible

is this not you and el-rufia

[quote author=lanre_front link=topic=778259.msg9308213#msg9308213 date=1318234550]Glaringly, you are the one having problem with English (this your wisdom-confidence na wa o). If your claim was not in support of government, then you sir have one of the worst communication skill in history.
Now to address your new issues. We know that Subsidy does not benefit the poor but the corrupt political elites and business men, all mostly linked to PDP.

We already said the subsidy itself is a fraud, that it's just a clever ploy to siphon the nation resources. @ Jeinsinmi post went to great lenght to break this down. There are many clever ploys like that. Na today.

They purposely refused to fix the refineries for this ploy to persist. We and the NLC know this and there really is little the masses can do about this. What concerns us is the price of fuel and how it affects our lives. So what we will not take is for the same corrup PDP goverment to now use the issue of a very fraudulent and questionable subsidy as an excuse for increasing the price of fuel and causing the masses unimaginable hardship.

We are expecting Jonathan to better the lives of masses. The ripple and multiplier effect will be so disastrous, anything the goverment does will be like a drop in the ocean.

Like a @alj harem rightly said: removal of subsidy = increase in infrastructure. Especially in a goverment where corruption is like fresh air.

Jonathan really is a disgrace. Why can't if see that,there is nothing unique in Nnkoji Iweala measures that is unique: devaluation of the naira, removal of any kind of subsidies etc. These are the same SAP and IMF measures which destroyed our economy during IBB's regime. Buhari fought them off but IBBimplemented them within months of taking power to the delight of the World Bretton Institutions. Madam Finance Minister mindset is totally WORLD BANK and history has proven most of their policies destroyed many African nations.
Oh God, why didn't you have pity on Nigeria and allow Buhari become President.

Mr. president, stop struggling to find a cure for your patient's ringworm while you ignore his leprosy.

Nigeria's problem is not subsidy or power etc, our problem is CORRUPTION, sure and simple. If any President will talke this will talke this holistically, withou fear, favour, selection, every other thing will fall into place.

Buhari understood this, even since the '80s and that was what if was coming to do.

We get the goverment we deserve. It pains my heart, act it seems Nigerians will still suffer long untill we learn how to support sincere leaders.[/quote]You just said it all. Nothing more to add

@edicolove SMH please read your post again and read what I posted

blink182:
Edicolove, you just made my day. I wondered how long it will take me to explain typing with my phone but you took my thoughts and explained vividly.

If this government is able to implement just this one policy.

gentleoyink:
@edicolove, you have spoken well. May the gods be with you.

edicolove:
I carefully read every post on this thread and was hoping to find something intelligent but was not surprised by all the ignorant comments born of sentiments. Fuel subsidy is an anomaly that should never have been in the first place. It only enriches the fuel importers and improvishes the populace. The military started it as a convenient decoy for not fixing the oil sector and the refineries. In the long run, it doesnt benefit the so called masses. It has to go and will definitely go one day. How can a country that produces crude be paying N77 for every litre as subsidy? Absolute bunkers! That money is money for major major major infrastructural development.

What I was expecting people to comment on are the pillars that must be in place before subsidy can be removed, not that subsidy must not be removed.

1. There must be regular power supply. A major part of the fuel consumption in Naija is for generators for power. If power improves to an acceptable level, then a milestone would have been reached.
2. The refineries must be fixed and their capacity increased. This can then allow for competitive pricing. The N142 someone posted will only happen if we import the fuel. If our local refineries produce it, it wont be up to that amount.
3. Government must invest heavily in agriculture and other minerals. If agricultural development improves, the rise in food produce will counter the rise in food prices that would have occurred due to increase in transportation that might happen when subsidy is removed. For example, if price for a tuber of yam increases because of removal of subsidy, the price can be reduced by the increased production of yam.

These and some others points I might not have mentioned are the issues that must be raised and the things that must be in place before subsidy is removed. People keep talking about minimum wage and it makes me laugh. Reason? Simple. How many people in Naija really work for the government and collect the so called minimum wage? A very small percentage of Nigerians work for the government. Lagos state which has one of the biggest work force, doesnt even have up to 100, 000 workers. Even if you assume that as the average and multiply by 36 and add federal parastatals. you still wouldnt even get up to 5million people working for the government. So forget the minimum wage talk. What we need are standard government policies and accountability, not subsidy and government handouts. When are we going to stop this government handout mentality. This is the reason politicians can manipulate the system because most of you are still looking up to the government to collect stipends. We need infrastructure so we can generate our own income not government payouts.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. Why ?

1. The government has not done all you said and does not plan to do those things

2. Electricity as you rightly said consumes a larger part of our petrol bills but what are the steps to make ELECTRICITY CONSTANT AND NOT JUST 20 HOURS A DAY

3. Removal of subsidy does not = Infrastructural development. The Fg just gave the national assembly 2.5 billion naira to buy cars. Are you telling me that each NA does not have at least 3 cars ?

4. Economic diversity has to be in place

5. Subsidy can not be removed without OUR OWN REFINERies WORKING to capacity to feed the nation. If our refineries are working, the fuel price would BE A LOT CHEAPER AND THERE WOULD BE NO POINT FOR SUBSIDY AT THE FIRST PLACE.

6. Please and Please do not insult us by telling us how only a small % of nigeria work force collect the Minimum wage. That is a no brainer really

so those collecting 40,000 to 70,000 should now be suffering for fuel subsidy removal which should not even be there at the first place abi. Now what happens to people collecting less than 18,000. They should suffer all there life ?

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


Before Jonathan and co can even  talk of fuel subsidy removal, he need to [size=14pt]ensure[/size] that the refineries are working and have been working for about a year. These refineries have to be able to refine enough crude oil to power the nation without any external help or importation.

winpecheux:
You people are busy saying something that is not true, You are making a big mistake by thinking anioma state is an igbo state, Never.
Ask anioma people around you, Look let me let one fact clear to you, It'll be better for us to join hausa than to join igbo, We can never be igbo, River niger is the boundary,
You people should wake up from your slumber and face reality, Have you ever seen any ika or ukwani man claiming to be igbo?
We need urhobo people more than the igbos, Igbos should find their square-root, They should not look up to having our area at all.

Are you Anioma by any chance ?

[quote author=aloy/emeka link=topic=777249.msg9306878#msg9306878 date=1318199193]Didn't you claim to be half Igbo half Hausa before?. When did Yoruba enter into the equation or you forgot your true genetic mixture?. Roflmao, the problem with liars is they can't keep up with the lies. [/quote]So if you know then stop tracing my ethnic group because it has nothing to do with any discussion and yes I know all what I have written about myself here.

It is sad you know. I think kidnapping is the new Yahoo yahoo in Nigeria

WOW

Otunbakay:
I can smell a rat, it seems uncle Joe want to systematically & knowingly push Nigerians firmly against the wall to evolk the much overdue REVOLUTION - This is why he themed his administration; 'ERA OF TRANSFORMATION'. Dont say i let the cat out of the bag!

suspecting that as well. But knowing Nigerians, we would not react;maybe a few strike here and there but that is it

freecocoa:
Are you for real or is it that I can't read and understand again?cos my niece in nursery 2 won't sound like this,you need to learn how to recite the 36 states and their capitals ASAP,I'm sure you don't know it.jesu mere anyi ebele na obodo.

@ Topic How can Ebonyi be infamous when half or more of the nation eats Abakaliki rice?

How can you say half of the nation eats abakaliki rice

be truthful to urself, abakaliki rice is not even 2 % of the national rice

we import majority of our rice and even the national grown rice is Ofada rice which everyone is familar with, how can you now call abakaliki rice ?

okstol:
@Alh Boko Haram, must u always bring tribal issues in every thread? This is very bad of you. Stop this your hope»less act. Honestly speaking, you ve got no self esteem especially towards your ethnic enclave, dats why u like putting up issues for Igbo's and Yoruba's. Get a life plz.

Can u please shut it. if u do not know what I am talking about, then just shut it and mind your business and FYI I am half igbo and half yoruba

WHF is this post meant to mean. Who does not give "hoot" about another, what does it mean by illustrious tribe you wish u were born.

Abeg i tried to be reasonable but this pointB of a character is just an ideeiot who transformed it tribal before I even posted so read well before posting

donspony:
Disagree!!

And who that saying Niger is not a state? Na wa o.

LOL

Why do you disagree ?

publisher:
Adamawa ko',Gongola ni'.

Dont let Atiku's University decieve you!

Yes, that University attracts people from far away ogun and river state to as far as UK and America.

In fact a foreign columnist wrote that American University of Nigeria uses up to 50% of the Nations Internet. Thus even more than the entire Lagos state. That should tell you the hight of the University

Bialegend:
All you people talking from all compass of your mouths should first of all ask or seek to know the reason why this policy is being implemented. This is not about anything disunity among Igbos, rather it's mainly targeted at northers working in Abia or in any Igbo territory to move back to their own states. Your Boko haram started all these by killing Igbo people in the north which made many Igbo to fled the north. On returning home from the north due to the targeted killing of Igbo people in the north, where do you expect those Igbo of Abia origin to work?
We have shed enough blood for you parasites. Everyone should sack everyone from their various states and let the country be divided for peace sake. Below is the well merited reason for sacking those awusas from Abia states.

Another tribal mo,ron. Northern workers don't have right to work in the SE but Igbos have right to work in the north. Are you making sense at all.

Lastly, stop calling Northerners parasite because you are not better than an average almajiri on the street. Allah created everyone equal and the same. Ok!!

Relax101:
I support the removal of fuel subsidy with a big YES.
It will kick out corruption in the oil industry and the money will be used for other meaningful projects and development.
If you want good things to happen in Nigeria, removal of fuel subsidy is one of the basics to kick start any development in Nigeria.
You all will bark and not bite.

So the 2.5 bn used to buy cars for reps nko

the 1.3 million naira used to feed mr president and his family

the 10 bn naira used for fake ID cards

etc

SMH gullible Nigerians.

publisher:
Correction, your own perception!

Well the post by different people from different walks of life in Nigeria says it all.

Abakaliki rice is not well know compared to even Ofada rice, because it is eaten in the west and east unlike abakaliki

donspony:
How its Ebonyi state least known

You all forgot a name

~ Adamawa ~

News from there is just far and between

Me thinks its all a vast expanse of land with nomads with herds of goats and cows only. 

adamawa is well known not only in Nigeria but all over the world

infact one of the most popular state in Nigeria

PointB:

publisher:
How can some people here mention Ebonyi as one of the least popular, when the whole country know about Abakiliki rice?

How can Bayelsa be one of the least popular state when the whole country knows Jonathan is from there.

It has nothing to do with resource but general perception

PointB:
^^^
so it's alright for you and eko ile to call them useless, but other posters are not permitted. Where for these dual standard?

So can we call Eastern Leaders names even though they are bad without insults left and right.

To itch is own. Do what you like others to do onto you, is that not Christianity teaches you ?

You can not call other people leaders useless and protect your own even if they are worse than the Hitler himself.

abadaba:
Alh, why do you always attack me because I come from the Eas?t. For once I and Eko Ile agreed on one thing yet you are not happy. Do you want me to disagree with him all the time. Anyway, take it or leave it, Eko Ile is right to call them useless people.

Can they call any eastern Leader that without south-east and others pointing at the west ?

Yes they are useless people but the way you are going around posting on all the yoruba leader meeting is annoying because you would not accept the same if it was the other way around.

abadaba:
This is disgraceful. This should be probed.

what disgrace, u better stop ur hypocrisy

abadaba:
Well done sir, I enjoy your posts lately. What a useless bunch of people. Shame to them.

u better stop posting crap on things u know nothing about
