How has the deregulation of diesel and kerosene helped the poor?

First, they are never scarce. They are also never smuggled across the border. Even if smuggled, the Nigerian government loses nothing.

Secondly, the Naira would probably be trading at 2,500-3,000 to a $1 had the subsidies remained. Government would have to borrow the money to pay for the subsidies. This is inflationary. It also puts pressure on the foreign reserves. It has also prevented overconsumption which would have put extra strain on the foreign reserves.

Third, the privately owned refineries focus on producing diesel. They did not produce petrol as the price is subsidized. Basically, it has encouraged investment in refining these 2 products. Dangote as mighty as his refinery is, has not started supplying petrol. The petrol subsidy acts as a big dis-incentive to refiners. The marketers buy diesel and kerosene from his refinery. For the same to happen for petrol, the federal government first has to pay the market price for petrol and then instruct them to sell at the subsidized price to marketers.

Had all fuel subsidies been removed in the 80s or even 90s, I am sure by now the refining capacity of the country would be around 2m bpd.

this is what I asked:
subsidy on kerosene and diesel was removed, has it reduced debt, reduced the burden on the poor, provided investments and jobs? how has it benefitted the poor?

has nigeria's debt reduced since the removal of subsidy on diesel and kerosene? what was nigeria's debt at the time subsidy on diesel and kerosene were removed and what is nigeria's debt now?

how has the no scarcity of diesel and kerosene helped the poor? how does the non smuggling of diesel help the poor? how do you know they are not being smuggled? how are they smuggled? if the FG looses nothing if products are smuggled, why then does it have people at the border to check smuggling?

pls where in my question did I ask about price of the dollar? what was the exchange rate at the time subsidy on kerosene and diesel were removed and what is the exchange rate now? what is "overconsumption"? overconsumption of what?

which private refineries are you talking about that are focusing on producing diesel? can you pls name them? which investment has been encouraged in producing kerosene and diesel? can you name the investments and the value? what are the jobs that have been produced because subsidy and kerosene were removed and how many jobs were produced?

nairalanda1:
Good morning.

Lexy2014. Go and rest.

what has rest or not resting got to do with what you asked? are u resting?

nairalanda1:
Lexy2014, answer my questions first

when did you ask the question? was it before you made this comment or after I asked you the question after this comment? how is the question you say you asked related to this comment and the accompanying question?

how is that related to this comment made by you

nairalanda1:
Keeping subsides, means more debt, which means more burden for the poor. Remove subsides, and there is a chance of investment and jobs , which benefit...the poor.

since subsidy on kerosene and diesel was removed, has it reduced debt, reduced the burden on the poor, provided investments and jobs? how has it benefitted the poor?

nairalanda1:
Lexy2014, so you will sell a house that cost 100 billion at 1000 to help the poor?

I'm surprised at you.

nairalanda1:
Since you like selling things at a loss, Lexy2014, can you tell me how you will run a business where your customers determine your cost price, instead of you.?

what is the correlation between all you just said and these questions: since subsidy on kerosene and diesel was removed, has it reduced debt, reduced the burden on the poor, provided investments and jobs? how has it benefitted the poor?

nairalanda1:
Would you sell a house at N1000 just to help the poor?

A house that cost 80 million naira to build?

Would you, lexy2014?

how is everything you said related to the question yu were asked?

Paraman:
I agree he needs to do more

you mean he needs to do more destruction of the economy and livelihoods?

enci:
How can they help in a trying time.

Not complain

they cant help. have you seen any african country that IMF has helped?

mystry:
These days Peter just dey react to everything. Nawai

is he not part of the opposition? what is the job of the opposition?

Putindbutt:
The fraud is copying Atiku his boss who signs off with AA. Bitter Obi lacks leadership traits, he's a follower at best.

if you say Obi is a fraud, lacks leadership traits, does tinubu possess leadership traits and does he possess any atom of honesty?

legba1:
Did you read what he said at all.... He was asking why the Europeans are being denied visa meaning they indeed want to come.....

to save them the stress of experiencing what made him leave nigeria

fareed69:
Continue blowing your grammar.
There's no were in the constitution that power is with him.
Just go there and slap him.
Then you know sey Act 1 scene 2 na continuation.

why would you slap a human being irrespective of who he or she is? why would you want to slap a human being even if it is a child? are you trying to relive your upbringing and maybe you were slapped through out your childhood that you now see slap as normal?

power to do what? what has he done with the power?

where is it in the constitution that power is with him?

AbuTwins:
Some are saying the government shouldn't have started the Calabar road project because there are many other roads to fix!

You'll always fix road every year! And the SEs among those singing the above song didn't say the same thing when Buhari was building the second 9ja bridge!

Buhari we don't need second 9ja bridge!
Go and fix our roads!

What is this?

with regards the highlighted, which roads have been fixed every year? what was the necessity of the 2nd Niger bridge and what is the necessity of this proposed coastal road?

atiku4President:
But at least, they are achievements. Go and sit down, please. Keep convulsing under the heavyweight of Igala agenda, Ododo will do 8 years and hand over to another Egbira man

how are they achievements? how will Kogi state be better for it during the ododo administration? is governance all about tribe or fulfilling constitutional provisions?

fareed69:
Go and slap 👋 him then you will know what he has .

why would you slap a human being irrespective of who he or she is?

Mosdiii:
I have lived in several countries in Europe and I noticed that the Nigerian embassy hardly give visa to Europeans... It's a strange fact and I'm serious. I have alot of friends and business partners who wanted to come to Nigeria yet they are denied visa... I wonder why

to save them the stress of experiencing what made you leave nigeria

DeLaRue:
He looks stronger than Joe Biden.

And America is still number 1.

We have seen young people in positions of authority in this country who have performed woefully.

Age is not the sole determinant.

how has tinubu performed so far?

Slytiger:
Obidients were already pushing all sorts of conspiracy theories.

what were those conspiracies?

Watianoengineer:
That Peter Obi will still have negative vibes about this. I have never seen someone so unpatriotic like Obi. He criticizes every move of the government without restraints. 2027 election he will still come 3rd

how is criticism of a government's performance unpatriotic? how is tinubu patriotic?

Krankhead:
THE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF....ABEG COMMOT FOR TOAD . LEVEL PASS LEVEL.
Allow Gbajue to be ranting on Twitter.com

how has he performed his job as president and commander in chief? how has nigeria become better since he assumed that role? which level is that?

DeLaRue:


The President no send.

The power is with him.

power to do what? what has he done with the power?

where is it in the constitution that power is with him?

HypocriticalObi:
Of course, when a whole bitter girigory Obi people of about 40 million are trying to sabotage the government because their candidate lost election

am glad you said they are "trying to sabotage". trying means they have not succeeded. if they have not succeeded, then who is responsible for the inflation, hardship, fuel scarcity and high cost of living? are you saying that tinubu is sabotaging nigeria as a whole?

YesDaddyTill203:
Pls say no to drugs, they are bad for your mental and physical health.
What did Obi change in Anambra? He left the state in a worse shape than he met it.

how is nigeria faring under tinubu so far?

then why was he shouting "emilokan" all over the place? emiolkan for what?

sparko1:
So what did you expect, allow the Nigerian police that takes bribe like drinking water to conduct the investigation?

This is not a two fighting situation, an order from the Brigadier was given before they were dispatched.

what was the order given? did the army catch the people it says were responsible for the killing of its men? what were the men that were killed in okuama doing there?

Watianoengineer:
I hope this will serve as a lesson to people who dare to confront security agencies. After God na Government

did the army catch the people they said were responsible for killing its men? why did the army not stay there forever?

obinna37:
Stupid Ecowas will not see this

exactly. when there is a coup to correct this foolishness, that is when you will hear them with their outdated noise

how did CBN blackmail tinubu? how can the strategist, visionary, 1st class accountant and builder of Lagos be blackmailed by ordinary CBN?

Inspirer1:
At this juncture, we can only hope on God.

God no get una time.

Deuteronomy 30:19 New Living Translation (NLT)
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!"

Nigerians have made their choice during election and God has respected it
