Empty-headed scallywag from Wasteland, you shall up as sacrifice in Soka Evil Forest. Your useless carcass shall be minced like meat and freely distributed in Ibadan by your kinsmen for their commerce.

Frustrated IPOO miscreant on a pay-per-post basis on NL!

Omoale ni e!
There is nothing like IPOO.
What we have is IPOB - the lead secessionist mouthpiece of the deluded, cowardly yeasterners.

Keneking:
We would stabilise it with Yuan but the official exchange is less than N199. That window has stabilised since May 29, 2015.
Amazing!

Are you a psycho?

kinglee1:
Apologise keh, are you kidding me? Everything GEJ did that was labelled wrong, If PMB do am na correct oo. It's either they keep quiet about it or go and dig out one flimsy excuse. Hypocritical people them.

After all said and done, GEJ is to blame for not sticking to his guns.

I trust PMB. He'll neither budge nor bat an eyelid. When the students are tired, they'd go home. Nonsense!

Chinom:
Kachikwu knows what he's saying. HE IS AN IGBO MAN. I support the deregulation. Watch Ifeanyi Uba and other top notch Igbo marketers crash the price of PMS under 6 months. Uba will sell his PMS for Between N100-N120 a liter, then the price war will start. Fuel will eventually settle at around N100 a liter.

Good move by the federal govt.

Note: Dangote will join in very soon putting added pressure to the price. Besides, most of the fuel will be refined locally. I see

Exactly!
I foresee Ifeanyi Uba making life difficult for his fellow marketers by constantly selling lower than whatever their association agrees to sell.
That is why I like the yeasterners.
Also Dangote refinery will be running in no time.

Fuel subsidy has been a curse rather than a blessing.

Kachikwu made sense there. Competition will drive pump prices down. Eventually, the marketers will abandon importation an build refineries. So it's very feasible - Kachikwu's prediction.

ashjay001:
Amen! Watching tinz activated. Inbtw, 'I' have 33k litres of pms 'I' bought at #87, 2days ago, how many % profit did 'I' just make? Lol!

Lucky you.
I just strolled into the filling station to buy at N86.50 after service on Sunday.
Had I known, I would have filled my tank and kegs.
What a pity!

ashjay001:
As strong as PMB is, he can't win against organized labour! U can't force pple to resume to work, they already don't want to, u then give them excuses not to?! I'm seriously hoping, consultation works.

He has already won!
Organised labour just want to do 'gra gra'.
PMB is not GEJ!!

omenka:
This man na confam oponuchukwu.

I'm pretty sure he's started taking that poorly refined counterfeit again.

I'd rather vote a log of wood wearing skirts into Aso Rock than this deadbeat layabout.

Isnt PMB falling back on his ideas/policies?

The only key thing GEJ lacked/lacks was/is balls!

I guess his quest for a second term rendered him completely toothless and useless. Too bad!

seunmsg:
Lots of people still buy at the official rate here in Abuja.

They are still negligble in population compared to those who don't.

doublewisdom:
The perpetual slaves are already excusing themselves from any protests against their masters.

Are you a dullard?

Liverless GEJ who couldnt stick to his guns is gone forever!

Live with it!!

Nalikedis:
there is no justification for subsidy removal... It is rubbish. U are given licenses to elites and the rich to build refineries and you are destroying local illegal refineries yet you are removing subsidy. Let everybody produce oil as they can, let people import oil as they wish... What is the nonsense of removing subsidy yet u are fixing stupid prices, and you are given some selected few licenses to import fuel... Allow everybody to import as they want... Even if na d

Trust me, many filling stations will sell below NGN 145 in no time.
Why? Because they want to make money. No more free money in the name of subsidy.
N145 is just an advised price. It wont be forced down anyone's throat.
Also local refineries must be registered and meet standards and pay taxes.

seunmsg:
At this point, government should strongly consider devaluing the naira to bridge the gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel market rate. That's the only way to keep down the price of petrol since price/litre will now be a function of the parallel market exchange rate.

Government should also immediately increase the minimum wage to at least N30k. Asking workers who earn N18k monthly to cope with the impact of over 70% increment in pump price is

But Nigerians have already been buying PMS at far more than the official rate for the past 9 months and under excruciating conditions?

Wouldnt you rather have it readily available no matter the cost?

Mynd44:
There will always be theieves as no system is perfect but now, "Stealing is not just corruption, it will land you in jail"

We saw what the cronies of the Jonathan administration did with SURE. P and I am glad we did not give em a chance to do it with all the money

Mr man, forget about what the govt would have saved.

Rather, think about the many private refineries that would have sprung up and the competition that would have ensued between the downstream operators that would have eventually forced the pump price down just as it is happening in the telecoms sector.

What of the several thousand jobs that would have been created directly and indirectly?

GEJ deserves an unreserved apology from organised labour and all those who withstood him in 2012.

PMB should please mow down any lunatic protesting the removal of fuel subsidy.
Haven't we suffered fuel scarcity enough?
Nonsense!

comos:
where is Femi Falana and the Ojota protesters ?

Shame on Femi Falana and organised labour other folks who should have known better at the time.
However, I dont blame the masses. What do they know?

SamuelAnyawu:
I don't support its removal even though I know it's the right thing.. GEJ saw the massive looting through subsidy and decided to remove it in 2012, But Baba Tinubu and his APC Zombies protested at Ojota and other states in Nigeria....

GEJ We Miss you

Any other Candidate aside GEJ in 2019 remains an exercise in futility PDP take Note.

Blame labour - NLC & TUC - and GEJ's lily-liveredness for the failure of the initial subsidy removal.

doublewisdom:
Good one from ohaneze and that southern Kaduna representative. Seems cat got the tongue of all the yorubas there. I know they were scared of offending their fulani masters.

Are you a dullard?
Why didnt you first ascertain that Yorubas were there?

ahaz:
ure a terrible liar to say gej didn't consult before d removal of u were hybernating in a UFO camp in Jupiter when he did that.

GEJ made consultations long before the removal just that he eventually caught everyone unawares when he finally removed it.
His fault/undoing was giving in to protests.

ashjay001:
If he does it d GEJ way, u will be surprised at how fast d street will be filled with protesters! Let him calm labour and all others down, they are d ones that will lead all dissenting opinions.

This is d perfect time to remove subsidy, as pple are already used to buying at exorbitant sums, just pray he jumps on it!

Well, I trust PMB. Once his mind is made, if Nigerians like they should hit their heads on asphalt, he wont budge.
Now that's a leader.
Most times, the masses dont know what's right. Often times, they dont even knoiw what they want.
That's why a leader is needed to lead them.

Labour once again is gearing up for a showdown if the subsidy is removed. I support PMB to crush them mercilessly.
They are placing the cart before horse by insisting that refineries be fully operational before subsidy is removed.
Nonsense people!

MasterofNL:
Supported.

Thank you.
However PMB needs to act with dispatch.
His slowness is equally irritating!

ashjay001:
It wasn't spineless as such, it was him being his clueless self! I've noticed a trend abt ds PMB govt; they leak their decisions and guage public reactions before any official step is taken.

GEJ didn't do consultations, him n his co-buffoons woke up and removed subsidy!
PMB is consulting with NASS, NLC and other stakeholders. They leaked d consultations n d populace is still passive unlike what was obtainable during d budget signing crisis. #commonsenseatwork!

But the 'consultations' are already causing the population untold hardship.
Let PMB just remove the subsidy already.

I agree with OPC. No to criminal Fulani herdsmen/grazing reserves/grazing routes in Yorubaland.

I never knew Tompolo could be so cowardly.
Doesnt he know that Buhari has his dossier of how he harassed previous governments?
Well, he's stated the good life and is not willing to die anymore. Same goes for Asari the rest of them.

SMH

daniska3yaro:
U forgot to add the governors too.

The governors were not against the initial removal.

Goke7:
A lot of folks here seem not to understand PMB's suggestions here due to their hatred for the man. The man is already giving out solutions here, its left for states governors to consider and adapt it to their peculiar state's situations.

The problem before was PMB was silent, now the man is talking and still dem no go gree, na wa o

Buhari's suggestions will NEVER fly!

No to grazing routes/reserves anywhere in Yorubaland.

cktheluckyman:
This bigot must know we don't have grazing reserves in the SS/SE!!! he can direct his cows to the north for all I care

Not an inch of Yoruba territory is available for grazing routes/reserves.
Mimiko, Ajimobi and Fayose have sounded it loud and clear.
But it seems Dave Umahi of Ebonyi is set to betray the south...

If the planned subsidy removal and deregulation of the downstream sector of the petroleum industry sails through, then NLC and TUC must tender an unreserved heartfelt apology to GEJ and Nigerians.

These 2 unions set Nigeria back by at least 4 years.

Had GEJ been successfully allowed to remove subsidy in early 2012, by now, we'd have started reaping the benefits though there would have been initial pain. Afterall, no pain, no gain!
By now, private refineries would have sprung up here and there and in fact, filling stations will almost advertise their new pump prices from time on TV/radio to attract customers. Competition will force pump prices down!
Of course, several thousand jobs would have been created alongside.

Unfortunately, labour made us jettison all this for an increase in pump price from N65 to N97.

Today, we are back to square one. Still contemplating what we would completely forgotten about four years ago.

Has anyone observed that telcos are almost the only companies that have reduced their tariffs/chrges by introducing mouth-watering incentives anytime you recharge rather than increase them in this harsh economic times?
The reason is simple - there is a stiff, bitter competition for survival in the market. Now imagine if it were only NITEL running the show.

I wanted to say 'e no go beta for NLC and TUC of 2012' but it's still early in the day.

All the same, GEJ deserves knocks for giving in at the time. The thought of contesting and winning a second term rendered him completely spineless, clueless and largely irresponsible.
I don't see PMB giving in no matter the pressure this time around.
No wonder, GEJ had to be thrown out. A leader must be stubborn and rugged. He just was not fit for the job.
No regrets!

Good morning everybody.
