"Blah blah making excuses for a govt you pay heavy taxes to"......... which mumu heavy tax you dey pay govt?

Peeps like you just be generating delusions of paying heavy taxes out of your butt hole to justify mindless criticism of govt.

ba7man:
People that talk like this don't pay tax.

kayode4arch:
Even if they give the affairs of the government to u and ur family, the results will be worser than we see it now, since for the past 50+yrs now, government unable to have a meaningful working refinary, but u are here spitting trash 🗑️ from ur dirty mouth, pls go get some Olosho and alcohol to cool ur bigot brain 🧠 down brother. Peace ✌️🕊️ I stand for,,,,

renderme:
Who asked u to celebrate the government? Reading comprehension.

Governments have no business handling business. Yaradua should have never reversed the sale of the 3 public refineries obasanjo sold. Obasanjo made the right decision - that was good governance. And if you want to compete enter the industry. Nobody is stopping anybody. Just because u don’t have the capacity to does not mean dangote should not venture into the business. Grow up.

renderme:
This IMO state guy is just being partisan. Everyone knows BUA will also finish his refinery next year.

What are the other options this country has? Government can’t run any business. All their refineries keep swallowing money & is useless.

Subsidy is a pit that also swallows money wt no benefit for expansion. Subsidy is gone. The goal is increasing states revenue generation and providing a living minimum wage.

Cyberterror:
There are many ways of government easing the pain of subsidy removal aka palliatives. The government doesn't necessarily have to spend money to do this. The federal government can cut import duties by 50% for the next one year only. They can also cut excise duties for local manufacturing firms at the same rate and for the same duration. The states and local governments on their own part can stop collecting ticket revenues and daily levies from keke and bus operators in exchange for keeping transport prices at pre-removal rates for the next six months. Traders in their various markets can get similar reliefs.

But no matter the strategy that government adopts, petrol subsidy must never be reinstated no matter the pressure by enemies of Nigeria led by the NLC that are remote controlled by the defeated labour party.

Magnetic010:
Exactly the make it seem like this subsidy removal is a magic wand once they wave it all out problems are gone. But it’s all a big fat lie this isn’t the first time they are removing or reducing subsidy payment what happened to the previous money saved when they reduced subsidy payment. Which aspect of the economy did they channel it to?

Magnetic010:
Nigerians didn’t ask the right questions then and we sure aren’t asking the right questions now…
Why do we have subsidy in the first place?
Because me import fuel right
So why do we import fuel?
Because our refineries aren’t working?
So why aren’t our refineries working?

If we fixed all our refineries would we still need to import fuel?

So why haven’t we channeled resources over the years to fix the refineries?

We stopped importation of rice because “we want to grow our economy and consume locally grown rice right?

So why did the price of locally grown rice shoot up?

These and many more are questions we should be asking the government. These are things we should demand answers to otherwise we’ll just keep hearing different nonsense every new day

nairalanda1:
Oga it is not a lie.

The day you realize that subsidy is a big drain on our economy, you will see it is not a lie

I am not defending any bad goverment, I wish fuel could be sold at even 100 naira per liter. But right now we are.borrowing to pay for subsidy. Among other things. And it is time we.stopped

nairalanda1:
It won't, but it would stop us digging a deeper debt hole than the one we have

nairalanda1:
I dont like tinubu, but how were we supposed to keep on paying for oil subsidy

Something that cost us 10trillion last year and has already.cost 7 trillion this year?

Oga i am serious

GeneralPula:
Abi nah..

Anybody staying in Abk would sure knows this is morning but pure lies!

tinsel:
The situation then warranted it. But things have changed.

Segzy19:
Why can't you be positive for once.
You even said you are dying... Na wa o!

If you die now Nigeria won't miss you...
Pray this government succeeds so that we can all benefit. Leave politics, political affiliations or dislike for the current president aside for now.... He is our president as per reality and if he fails, then we will all have more troubles...

Be optimistic and patient a bit more.
Things can't get any worse than it was under Buhari. This pain is like pain of circumcision. Once it heals, na to dey do fine boy o but the short pain will first be there...
There shall be light soon..

Oga let's shun optimism and act right for once, this same people owns these fuel stations, they receive exorbitant allowances for doing absolutely nothing

When would they cut all of their own excesses?

sunboy:
Free advice, don't expect pallaites in form of hand outs. I would expect it in form on cheap and affordable transportation for the poorand something along that line. I hope Tinubu knows better to not give hand outs.

Parachoko:
Can you point out where in my comment I made such a claim? Thank you!

I wan show you how shallow you're this evening

Parachoko:
Is there a cement company as wealthy as Mobil competing against Dangote in the cement industry in Nigeria?

Parachoko:
There are other major and powerful companies in the oil sector who can compete with Dangote.

Well, I hope more Modular refineries will spring up very soon
