The thing is the subsidy is harming our economy and causing problems for nnpc and is a nidus for corruption

It has to go. Gej was onto something when he attempted a total removal. Nigerians said no, today the charade continues at our expense

Fayemi & co played politics with Jonathan/PDP's attempt to remove subsidy and deregulate the petrol market in 2012 like the capitalist Obasanjo administration did with telecom sector some 12 years earlier. Funny how they got intellectWATS like Pastor Bakare, Femi Falana, Femi Kuti etc to dance naked in Ojota over their propaganda lies.

hisexcellency34:
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.

Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.

The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.

According to him, the last time Nigeria experienced economic development was during Jonathan’s administration

Fayemi said, “Today, I read former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s interview in The Cable saying our liberal democracy is not working and we need to revisit it, and I agree with him. We must move from the political alternatives. I think we are almost on a dead end of that.

“What we need is alternative politics and my own notion of alternative politics is that you can’t have 35 per cent of the vote and take 100 per cent. It won’t work! We must look at proportional representation so that the party that is said to have won 21 per cent of the votes will have 21 per cent of the government. Adversary politics bring division and enmity.

“All political parties in the country agreed and they even put in their manifesto that subsidy must be removed. We all said subsidy must be removed. But we in ACN at the time, in 2012, we know the truth Sir, but it is all politics.

Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.

Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.

His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.

The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993

It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.

Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.

He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.

“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’

Subsidy is gone for good crew in the mud

Tinubu is the most useless human being alive

I am surprised that you are surprised by this news when it is a repeat of the 2016 announcement of subsidy withdrawal that continued to be paid.

APC is all about lies and propaganda to cover up their worse looting than PDP.

Jomonix:
He has employed directly under the government payroll over 10,000. If you listened to his excellent presentation yesterday on channels the private sector employment in the last two years is being compiled. As of flooding Lagos, if Nigerians can flourish in distant lands like the UK or USA, how much more tiny Lagos that is a walking distance away. There is no big deal flooding Lagos. Millions of Igbo are in the homeland making it big.

So what is the translation of the over 10,000 civil servants employed since 2022

How much increase in government schools enrolment has happened since 2022?
What of the hectolitres of water supplied, any change since 2022?
What increase in PHC and hospital consultations daily?

kayusely70:
The man is really trying.

Compared to Bola Ige and Awolowo who occupied the same office in Agodi, he is a nonstarter, considering how much more revenue he has than these two.

Makinde is better than Bola Ige?
I don't blame you. Your mother was probably still a teenager when Bola Ige was Governor.

Why did you have to spoil your excellent comparison comment by bringing in his moim

press9jatv:
Oyo State , Engineer Seyi Makinde, the best infrastructure governor so far in Oyo State history. Kudos to the working governor . More pictures from Commissioned Odo-Ona roads with streets light 💡

Why has Makinde failed to do as much in employing workers EVERY year to provide better services and utilities at the state and local government levels.

How much increase in government schools enrolment has happened since 2019?
What of the hectolitres of water supplied, any change since 2019?

Is that not why Oyo people are scrambling to japa to the UK, USA etc and why Makinde was proud to post a picture with the Amercian tennis lady? Why do we end up with clueless mofos as leaders when we think that we are not clueless citizens

TINTINABULATION:
Every action has consequences.

Very true.

Our action of inadequate government services and utilities has the consequences of making us export ourselves to Britain and Europe to be second class migrants whose descendants are called black even when the father is white, like the new Welsh leader.

What a legacy of collectively extreme poverty paupers who can't provide ordinary water in all their buildings.

Despite all the nonsense many have put out here against Soludo, the true Anambrarians who reside in Anambra are happy with Soludo. I was skeptical at first but today Soludo has my full support. Second tenure is guaranteed.

Anambra because they have low expectations from their state and its local governments?
How many people has he employed EVERY year to do everything that the governments are supposed to do in services, facilities, utilities and infrastructure maintenance?
No wonder Anambrarians are flooding Lagos, Abuja and obodo oyinbo where all these things are provided by the government.

Another lamba from the master of the ObiDense crowd.

“’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.

“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.

“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.

Who is fooling who? Or rather who is fooled by these shenanigans instead of employing workers to do everything Anabra state and its local governments are responsible for

Islie:
A spokesman for the Nigerian Government Femi Adesina has said President Muhammadu Buhari and vice president Yemi Osinbajo have been earning only 50% of their salaries since they were sworn in for their first term in office in 2015.

Nigeria is battling the outbreak of coronavirus which has infected over 830, 000 and killed more than 41,000 persons worldwide.

In support of curbing the spread of the virus in Nigeria, politicians, philanthropists, companies have announced donations to the Nigerian Government. Ministers in the government last week said they were donating 50% of their March salaries to curb the global pandemic.

When asked if Buhari and Osinbajo were donating to Nigeria’s fight against coronavirus, Adesina said there was no need for them to do so.

“Already, the President and the Vice President are earning 50 per cent of their salaries, they are not earning 100 per cent,” Adesina said during the Channels Television political programme Politics Today on Tuesday.

Adesina stated that both Nigerian leaders chose to be paid half of their salaries since the inception of the present administration in 2015. The presidential spokesperson, however, did not state the president and vice president’s salary

In July 2015, Buhari and Osinbajo indicated to take a 50% pay cut of their salary barely two months after their swearing-in into office.

The permanent secretary of the State House, Nebolisa Emodi, at the time wrote to the then secretary of the government Babachir Lawal on Buhari’s decision to take a pay cut.

“I write to forward the completed IPPIS registration form of Mr. President and to draw your kind attention to Mr. President’s directive that only 50% of his salary be paid to him,” Emodi said in the letter.

One of the presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu disclosed that Osinbajo will be receiving 50% of his salary too.

The current annual remuneration of the President of Nigeria as published by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission is N14, 058,820.00.

Five years after, Adesina, insisted that “right from the beginning of the administration (the first term), they had elected to earn half of the salaries they should earn.”

mrjojo:
Because black is a dominant gene! Anything mixed with black is black

Megan markle for instance, her father is white yet that didn’t stop a thing, even her son archie with Prince harry is already a subject of racism

Why is this dominant gene translating into dominant economy and wellbeing of blacks

AndroBlaze:
The answer you seek has to do with the history of racism intertwined with slavery and its politics of domination.

Its mainly America's fault that this is normal . Anyway to answer your question specifically, the powers that be have since decided that irrespective of how you look, as long as you have a noticeable drop of black blood, you are black. Funnily this seems to only apply to the black race and not mixed Asians or any other mix.

Now if you think I am lying, please tell me how any right thinking person will look at this American politician and "think" or "see" black.

In Nigeria today, before person attain a very high position or get appointment in a place like CBN, that person must come from a high profile family, or the parent must be former Minister, former Governor, former this, former that. Otherwise nothing for that person

But here the son of a vet and chicken 🐔 farmer is now ruling the country. Can you beat that? The vet was even described as a Welsh economic migrant (a japarian).

Please how is this the answer to why the son of a white father is called a black man?
Are you able to explain why

Was born in Zambia where his father a Welsh veterinarian met his mother a chicken 🐔 farmer.

So what makes him black when his father is a white man?

Name your state, let’s see if they have everything you’re saying and let’s also compare them with their Anambra counterparts and know who’s doing better

Why should that matter if you are interested in free education for all Anambra children

Anambra1stSonTV:
]Soludo employed 5000 teachers increased their salary, declared fee education just under 2yrs of his administration, I can bet you that Soludo will beat Obi's hands down by the time he complete his tenure, I hope you are seeing the massive infrastructure he is providing just under two years

If every single Anambra child is not enrolled in free government schools, then how has Soludo made education free in the state?
Meanwhile, PDP declared education free in Nigeira for 9 years during the Obasanjo administration, through matching funds to states from UBEC. This was before Soludo's failed attempt to be Anambra governor in 2010.

Anambra1stSonTV:
Always make enquiry

Many thanks for your response, which unfortunately does not answer the question in the comment you quoted:

employed enough teachers to make every single Anambra child enrolled in free schools?

nlfpmod:
I never made a single post about GRV during the elections, but somehow, you people find a way of including me in his predicaments. His utterances during the elections betrayed him and not anybody.

I have said it repeatedly that if my children lack the culture of respect, honour, truthfulness, bravery, and traditional understanding of the Yoruba people, may they not be honoured in Yoruba land.

Can someone please point out the lie in the above bold parts?
GRV needs to learn from Obama's reaction below to being tagged a black, angry man in his successful attempt to get the job of US president.
When you are up against a master politician like Tinubu and his boys you have to be one step ahead and leave no room for distraction and character assassination.

Obama 'outraged' by Wright's remarks


Sen. Barack Obama said he is "outraged" by comments his former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, made Monday at the National Press Club and "saddened by the spectacle."


Sen. Barack Obama on Tuesday denounced comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

1 of 2 "I have been a member of Trinity Church since 1992. I have known Rev. Wright for almost 20 years," he said at a news conference in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago."

Obama said he is outraged by Wright's remarks that seemed to suggest the U.S. government might be responsible for the spread of AIDS in the black community, and his equation of some American wartime efforts with terrorism.

"What particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing," said Obama, who added that Wright had shown "little regard for me" and seemed more concerned with "taking center stage."

Earlier this year, some of Wright's outspoken sermons, circulated and widely discussed on the Internet and on television, became an issue in the Democratic presidential race because of the former pastor's ties to Obama.

In one sermon, Wright said America had brought the September 11, 2001, attacks upon itself. In another, he said Sen. Hillary Clinton had an advantage over Obama because she is white.

Obama gave a speech on race relations during the height of the controversy with Wright and said he rejected Wright's racially charged comments but could not repudiate the man himself.

Obama on Monday said Wright's remarks were "antithetical to our campaign, it was antithetical to what we're about."

"I cannot prevent him from making these remarks," but "when I say I find these comments appalling I mean it. It contradicts what I'm about and who I am , It is completely opposed to what I stand for and where I want to take this country."

In a break with previous comments, Obama focused his criticism on Wright the man, and not simply his remarks.

Obama said he gave Wright "the benefit of the doubt" before his speech on race relations.

"What we saw yesterday from Rev. Wright was a resurfacing and, I believe, an exploitation of these old divisions," Obama said.

He said he had not spoken with Wright since the minister's Monday speech, though he would not rule out a conversation with him in the future
