As a product of baby factory you won't know the value of father and grandfathers.

Stop deceiving yourself, the officers doing such are your brothers.

Ahmed0336:
Subsidy should continue Are you for real? We don't need these wastages.
Those prisoners should go to farms and feed themselves. Why waste money when we have many things to do?

Issue of minimum wage is entirely not related to this topic. But instead of FG to increase MW, the should look for ways to increase the value of Naira( more production/ exports, drastically reduce our reliance to dollar, etc and be able to control inflation.

Ahmed0336:
Eh?
Why spend such on some criminals( not all of em are guilty of thier crimes) when many hard working Nigerian that hustles legitimately are yet to benefit any reasonable thing from the government?

Praxis758:
Time to shed some weights.

The Nigerian federal government is carrying too much load than it can bear. Imagine a institutionally weak government carry 66 items on the exclusive list.

Not even the US federal government Carrie’s such yeye loads. This is what make our presidents dictatorial, authoritative and territorial.

Nigeria's educational system is so focused on memorization and assuming there is always one exclusive "right answer" (and only one way to get that answer) that it sucks the joy out of nearly subject, so her poor early performance is no surprise. The sort of independent mindset needed to get a PhD in mathematics is precisely the kind the average Nigerian teacher hates the most.

I'm from OSU state, what's your problem

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Anambra is a great state,

savcy:
What is the volume of investments we've attracted to the DPK and AGO subsectors since they were deregulated? Taking subsidy off would be a move that's akin to attempting to cure a terminal disease with a scratch. The fundamental challenges of mismanagement of resources and failure to attract investments remain regardless, and they should constitute the bulk of our concerns and not a removal.

nairalanda1:
Am not surprised.

Every Nigerian leader knows subsidy issa scam. But they cannot remove it because at the end it means high fuel prices and by extension high food prices...and once you touch someone's food, there would be riots. Nothing to stop that.

So the scam continued because the 'poor' were benefiting from it....allegedly.

Meanwhile we sacrificed domestic refining to maintain the scam. We sacrifiiced financial security to maintain the scam...because poor people have to 'benefit'.

Buhari is just the latest in a long line of Nigerian leaders who have sabotaged subsidy removal.

Anyway, Tinubu may remove it, and I hope he has the courage to do so. (Obi and Atiku, should either of them take over, will also remove it.).Because, no matter how many times we cry poverty...subsidy is not sustainable. We either pay for fuel at the market price at the pump....or we lie to ourselves, and pay N50 for one liter, while our government pays on our behalf at IMF HQ and Bank of China HQ....at their terms...for our fuel.

Got to get going. Good morning.

Whatever - trolls like you are why this place so badly needs a "blocking" function. You certainly have nothing to say worth reading.

omohayek:
Nonsensical tribalistic gibberish. Look in the mirror and you'll see the true source of the "hatred" you perceive.

ben1daEbiri:
Your proposal is funny.
Nigerians especially people in power are highly ingenious in mischief and sabotage. They'll know it's just temporary and would wait out the entire window of the test only to needlessly cumulate the profit when subsidy is permanently removed.

My take is that they already did the test-run months ago when price rose to a price average of #500/ltr while it was termed a strike action my importers. They wanted to test our resolve to see if we would adapt as usual which we did, that's why they're bold enough to propose an increase of over #700/ltr. My problem with subsidy removal is that we're gonna leave free momey for an irresponsible leader to loot; both ways the average Nigerian is at loss.

Nobody is owing them. People only pay for what they consider appropriate and fair. Imagine giving a household a bill of #30,000 /Month. Without maybe 100hrs light within the period. Sometimes the light is not even beneficial because of low current. They should no that they are selling and the buyers should also have a say. They simply estimate a bill and send it to people that they are owing. Since they refused to metered houses they should always bargain with consumers to arrive at a fair billing. Customers will pay if they consider what you are asking them to pay as fair.
They always harassed and bully their Customers. The customers buy their poles, wires, and Sometimes transformers. Maybe TCN should deal directly with the consumers by effective marketing and compulsory metering of every customer. GENCO has failed.

loswhite:
The one they are giving to us we have refused to pay. The ones that have prepared metre chooses to bypass. The problem of the country is the citizens ....I know someone that can buy fuel for 10k without complaining but if that person pays 5k for Electricity bill....lol him go cry say nepa don kill am.

Here Peter Obi demonstrates what so many having been saying from the start of his presidential bid: more than anything else, his rabidly intolerant supporters were the ones who cost him any chance of victory, by alienating everyone who wasn't in perfect alignment with every single one of their opinions. Just compare and contrast the vicious insults and personal attacks they unleashed upon Soyinka's head with this statement by Obi in which he forthrightly acknowledges what all his ignorant and bilious supporters couldn't: that Wole Soyinka paid an unimaginably high personal cost for the Igbos during the civil war, and has more than earned his right to speak out on public affairs without fear of frothing mobs calling him every foul name in the book.
