[b]Let's all take the wool off our eyes for a moment and see what it is really. You can call me heartless, but to be honest I don't have an ounce of pity for these guys. I'm sorry to say it. Some commenters here are like Rest in peace to the Soldier of fortune, he had the chance to repent before he died, and all other wash. I tell you, from other cases, do they learn anything? This is a country that clearly states it - do not traffic drugs on our land or else if you are caught, you will be executed. Simple. But no, they still go ahead and were caught, tried, and executed and people are having pity for them. Not me.

I'm sure if they weren't caught, they will be the kinds that will come back home with their ill-gotten money, drive flashy cars, drink the best wines, go to the best clubs and have the best girls at the snap of their fingertips. They will be the types that will be hailed and praised, all the "roger sir" and "we dey your behind" shenanigans. Hey, why not throw in a chieftancy title while you are at it?

Let's stop pitying these people. These cases should be a lesson for others, but I honestly doubt it. I'm pretty sure there will be another Nigerian(s) who will still be caught at some point, and the whole process will repeat itself.[/b]

Though you're right bruh, but abeg, your tone is bitter

Useless judgement. Why the option of fine? Rubbish..

Orubebe your Mentor..


...and they say Jonathan is not clueless

Mogidi:
We knew it won't happen, we warned Nigerians they were being scammed by the "change" slogan.

I knew you would spew rubbish.

Hmmm

Cute boy

^^^ and how many people can afford buying any of these cars? So, what's the point of saving fuel?

omenka:
Wow!

She has already started fighting back with media articles. Well, she can buy all the publications in the world, what we await is how far these publications can take her in court.

I wonder what Jonathan would call this woman; "thief" or "ole"??

Jonathan would pat the woman at the back. Don't forget according to Jonathan, 'stealing is not corruption'

Temitemi1, come and defend your sugar mummy o

Btw, this woman is corruption personified. She must face the gulag. She must not go scot-free o

Abeg, send her to Indonesia.

MizMyColi:
Okay, I asked because I remember it's one of those drastic steps that Jona took earlier, which made him lose popularity with the populace.
The cabals found a way to convince us, the man didn't have our best interests at heart.

I hope the cabals support it this time.

Besides, we can't just remove it if we haven't put measures and machineries in place to cushion the destabilizing effect it will have on the labour force. Sensitization is not enough.

Yeah, remember sometime in January 2012, the federal govt decided to procure 1600 transits buses for the masses as a result of subsidy removal. Labour should just sit for one corner and allow the govt do what's right for the masses. We must endure and we shall reap for it.

Be careful when you say 'subsidy must go'... or those who support the wholesale plunder going on will take those words and run with them. The question you should be asking is for the government to prove there is a subsidy on locally produced and refined petroleum products. Everything else turns on this question. If there is no subsidy on locally produced fuel there is absolutely no reason for importation of costly, dollar denominated refined petroleum products from other oil exporting countries. It makes absolutely no sense to do this.

Avoid repeating slogans or soundbites such as 'subsidy must go' without exploring and understanding the real issues behind them...or you unwittingly become an accomplice to those who have an agenda...

Ohhkay. But, should there be subsidy on locally produced and refined petroleum products

MizMyColi:
Did you support it in 2011?
Just asking...

I supported in 2011 because I was green. Now, it just have to go. Govt can sensitise the populace about it and put serious palliative in place to cushion the effects of the removal. We can't progress as a nation if we keep threading this path. That subsidy is a scam...a big scam.

ginawest:
no...dat wont b fair..had it bin she was a South African, we for even handle am for we country... no nid to go Indonesia

If na SA person na that time we go start capital punishment for drug offenders

XBLadez:
If you remove the subsidy it will affect the marketers and as well labour

Then something must be done. Subsidy hasn't been helping us..No?

VolvoS60:

There is a subsidy on imported fuel. Agreed. The landing cost on Nigerian shores of a litre of refined PMS from Venezuela, Norway, Iraq or wherever is definitely above N87 or N97 or whatever price of the month we are being charged for it. The figures are on the PPRA website - the landing cost as at yesterday was N114.76. By the time distribution margins (totalling N15.49 as at yesterday) are factored in, the cost per litre of imported fuel stood at N130.25 as at yesterday, 28th April 2015. The government foots the bill for the difference between this so called 'open market price' of N130.25 and the pump head price of N87.

But is there a subsidy on locally produced and locally refined fuel? This is a question that the government has refused to answer clearly. After several years of controversy on this matter, successive Nigerian governments have refused to come clean on exactly how much it costs to drill and refine a litre of fuel here in Nigeria. Why is it so hard to release this information to Nigerians in a clear and unambiguous manner? Because if the cost per litre of locally refined PMS (plus distribution margins) is less than the pump price of N87 or N97 or whatever, then there is NO subsidy on locally produced fuel, plain and simple. This is the information that has been carefully hidden from Nigerians for donkey years. The Obasanjo government hid this information. The Jonathan and Yaradua governments also hid this information. Why? Because access to this information will raise questions as to WHY these governments refused to build local refineries and instead chose to enrich private interests through opaque fuel import license agreements. Fuel import licence agreements that give jobs to norwegian, venezuelan and iraqi governments and citizens. Fuel import licence agreements that give jobs to international shipping companies. Fuel import licence agreements that enrich global oil traders like glencore.

If there is indeed a subsidy on locally produced fuel then the government should prove it with facts and figures if they can. The truth will make us free.

Guy, simply put, millions of dollars are being raked in from this subsidy scam. Like I said, subsidy is nothing but money siphoning conduit for the thieving cabals. What baffles me is how and why precedent governments had refused to put our refineries in shape..except of course that benefit few pockets in the government and their alibabas. I don't trust this government. What I want to see is total hauling of our refineries by naija engineers. We have resources capable of putting the refineries back to shape BUT the cabals won't allow for that...they can't allow for truncation of their subsidy scam.. Subsidy must go...and go ASAP

BrokenTV:
You are wrong subsidy has come to stay, till all our Refineries start functioning at optimal. We cannot do away with it.

So, what has the clueless government been doing not making the refineries to work? You can see the conspiracy and sabotage on part of the government. They are benefitting from the subsidy and so they wont give a hoot if the refineries work or nat. Ogbeni, subsidy must go and the refineries will be put in order.

idupaul:
I want to see how Buhari will tackle this subsidy cartel

Why can't we come together and reason how best we, as a nation, can defeat the monster called subsidy cartel? Subsidy impedes our development as a nation

Subsidy has got to go. Remove subsidy and let's know what we are facing. Rome was not built in a day. We should be sensitised and palliatives put in place to cushion the effects of subsidy removal. Subsidy must go. It's a thieving conduit for the subsidy cabals.

A7:
What has this got to do with Buhari ?

I just wonder. saTANist always 'hate blind 'when writing rubbish.

Just send her to Indonesia. Indonesia will do a proper job

Jonathan won't go down alone. That's understandable

SLIDEwaxie:
GEJ no wan go down alone

Lol. That's the way the cookies crumble.

Buhari...my HERO!!!

Thirty days commissioner. Only in naija.


Buhari....my HERO!

Brainwox:
He makes it a hobby to read the papers each morning. Mmmmm! This will eventually bring him closer to the people and make him well informed about what's going on around him. With what I'm seeing now, it's like something good is about to happen to nigeria. With the way I'm viewing things, this man will never rely on what any so called adviser will tell him, but act on direct infos as it reflects the wish of the people, to know where the shoe pinches. That's where Mr Jona got it all wrong.

I doubt if baba would desire a special adviser. Baba is too smart and so intelligent.

handsometokunbo:
Trust me you are absolutely right.

If a president could pick a newspaper and read, chaiiii!!! No special adviser can lie to him as regards what is happening on the streets

This way, Buhari can feel the pulse of the nation.
