And the sheer ineptitude and unpreparedness of Emilokan is in full glare once again. His govt has not provided up to 100 functional CNG buses in total, then the actual CNG stations are also few and far between and many regular service stations do not even know that CNG is let alone being ready to buy, store and dispense to the public.
If this man had any sense, before removing subsidy completely, he would have setup a chain of CNG stations in the FCT and provided at least 100 buses for the FCT alone to test for viability.

Very foolish people! When there is widespread poverty, there will always be an abundance of supporters of nonsense for a fee. The minister is a failure like the man that appointed him is.

DeLaRue:
Nigeria - big, strong, and powerful.

China measures the extent of it ceremonial welcome very carefully.

This level of welcome is reserved for governments it holds in the highest regard.
Premium Okoto

Removal of subsidy has been welcome by IMF, World Bank, UK, Europe, and most countries.

Nigerians, please let us remove this corrosive subsidy pata pata so the money can go into other areas.

In the past 10 years, this last 2 months have been the period when I have spent the least to fuel my generator. And I am not even in Band A. It means electricity is improving. Other things will improve too in due course.
More Okoto

Let's persevere in the short term, and I hope the government can find quick, effective ways to help those that are most affected by the current hardship. Even you KNOW this is a dream, which is why you hope. Palliatives WILL never move a nation to prosperity.


What more can you ask of a leader? Leaders show the way and lead by example, but yours is buying jets and looting as if he's a kid in a candyshop.

Sycophancy is a disease. BAT and APC are living lavish, spending like there's not a fat hole in our finances BUT it is regular Nigerians that you expect to manage and endure and suffer till God fixes the nation. 10yrs of APC and you're still swayed by a made in China video when you're queueing for expensive fuel.

Maybe the goat was stolen or roadkill

This is just nasty

Smartjeezy01:
One litre of gasoline from Dangote refinery is #250 but NNPC and those stupid marketers are frustrating Dangote price already. We need to fight all this self centered and greedy billionaires. Enough is enough and it is now or never.

You say one litre is how much??

MT:
Can you still say you have any sense at all ?

I like people who like to prove they have sense, especially when the evidence that reverse is the case is overwhelming. We are both going to witness this experiment in real life hopefully, and learn. You will buy expensive fuel and still grapple with a useless Naira.

Zeebuy:


You guys are an amusing bunch.

Amusing is mild, this thing is pure Delulu

xprojectlive:
sell ur dollars now

This was the rubbish some of you said when Cardoso was pumping dollars a few months ago and NGN strengthened to N900. EVERYONE with small sense could see it was window dressing but Tinubudeens said Cardoso deserved flowers and other okoto. How much is USD today? Is Cardoso even bothered about the current exchange rate anymore? Your capital importation declined by 57% and you people are talking about crashing dollar. Dangote will still import crude because first of all, NNPC does NOT have the crude feedstock he needs, this is common knowledge. And he will not import crude in Naira either. If you like sell your dollars sha...you will learn.

I like the faith most of the posters here have in the responses, most of it though is from a place of blissful ignorance. Selling crude to Dangote in Naira is a double edged sword; Nigeria is losing desperately needed FX and the so-called savings we expect will be negligible because most of his other costs are USD denominated i.e Dangote will STILL need to buy dollars to run his refinery especially because NNPC does not have the crude he needs to refine!! He will still import crude! He will also sell his petrol overseas if he gets good prices and that means our pricing will mirror what is obtainable internationally, bearing in mind that our currency is already devalued and many Nigerians are POORER under this cursed APC. Expect to buy fuel at N1,500 and above in the near future, whether you are standing on the mandate or not

Avoid road travel if you can around these hotspots. Abuja is surrounded by bandits and the FG is not interested.

Nigerians truly amaze me because you can see and feel the results of a stupid policy BUT you're still trying to make it make sense. If Nigerian farmers were meeting demand, would prices be at an all-time high? Buhari started this stupidity and BAT has doubled down on it whilst people cannot afford food.

emkz:
Yes.

For many years, we have been living in a bubble. We subsidized the consumption by the rich. Our refineries have not been producing. There was pervasive insecurity. Oil theft was rife. Chinese were stealing from us. We started handing out dollars to people for reasons that don't make sense. The subsidy was consistently being abused by people who claimed it and still took the products across the borders. Local fuel consumption was inflated. There were no investments in critical infrastructure. Questionable billionaires emerged following the start of the 4th republic. The bought banks and no one knows the source of their incomes. Industries completely collapsed and religion became rife.

Infact, we started borrowing to pay salaries and subsidies. People like Professor Usman Yusuf in NHIS used their positions to rob the nation. Today, they are sudden moralists for a better Nigeria.

What Tinubu is doing is an attempt to refocus things so that the pains will not be even more in the future. Tinubu demonstrates the boldness many before him lacked. We can see some improvements in certain areas. For example, after the kidnap of the Nabeeha family and the killing of Nabeeha herself, we can see how Wike and Co swung into action and have arrested the masterminds. Our military chiefs are not talking too much and are doing the job.

I recall when they started partitioning roads in Lagos for BRT. As soon as the buses were rolled out, no one criticized Tinubu again. So the suffering we are currently facing are pains that will pass.

We only call on Tinubu to go after the sponsors of terrorism, banditry and rogue businessmen inflating prices. We also call on governors to show workings. It is evil for PDP governors to be attacking the president when they should be worried and working harder for their people.

As a people, let us put the same pressure on the governors, representatives and senators as we put on the president.

If the elections hold again, I'd still throw my weight behind Tinubu. Atiku had his time, and he had nothing to show for it beyond plundering national assets to cronies. He is one of the architects of the current mess and should take responsibility. He also lacks understanding of presidential processes. Peter Obi is just a revolt against the status quo and people conveniently forgot he was a governor as well and Anambra did not improve.

Any sincere Nigerian would make suggestions to help the nation.

You're speaking plenty nonsense, deceiving yourselves that a period of needless suffering precedes one of prosperity. Your standard of living has depreciated steadily over 8yrs but you think Nigerians were "living in a bubble". Don't you like good things for yourself? Why is it okay to suffer as a citizen whilst your useless party members and leaders live the soft life? APC is not wired to create prosperity, and they cannot pull people out of poverty with ₦30k handouts but this is the life you say you deserve so remain in it. Someone removed subsides BEFORE providing alternatives and you think that is bravery? It's called cluelessness..

The man is lucky to be alive. If that cut to his face was a few inches lower, it would've been fatal. I don't know why government is unable or unwilling to confront these herdsmen especially in the South where they are clearly not indigenous. Let's keep playing with fire.

Even Tinubu NEVER ever mentioned fighting corruption during his insipid campaign because everyone would laugh. APC is such a troupe of clowns.

Yahaya Bello and his entire cabinet are confirmed rogues and liars. Do they think they're talking to toddlers from Okene?

ryloy:
It is clear Obi is just wasting his time

You children learned propaganda the wrong way and you're embarrassing yourselves online. You rushed to upload ONE pic from multiple angles and you and your corn rows are wanking over it in ecstasy? The Lagos rally was successful and a statement to your eleyi. How was your outing to Katsina and Kebbi? Do you want to share "drone" pics from there? Katsina was so depressing there are rumours that Asiwaju is looking for a Katsina widow to marry urgently so they can claim he's their in-law

EFCC is only good with Yahoo boys but can not nail a single high profile case.

agarawu1985:
PETER OBI PEOPLE AGAIN...

You're as dull as a bell.

GSS Kuru is basically inside the town, and they struck by 6pm. What's going on in this country? The kidnappers on the highways are security personnel evidently.

Yamaha Bello has stolen government funds, and all the useless paid-for awards he's gathering cannot hide this. There's another ₦10B that has just been unearthed and you're boldly asserting EFCC won't be taken seriously? Before this tenure is over, Bello will be exposed.

Abdul05:
will obi come to kaduna for rally? I doubt it cos he is not yet popular..


But tinubu is keeping his firm grip on the north cos he is popular and active.....

He's popular and what?

lhordspy:
Waow.

Buratai, incoming Minister of defense or NSA.
If God will.

Based on what track record or are you just playing?

I wish the kidnappers nothing but pain and suffering in this life and the next. This is sheer evil.

This isn't anyone's house, this is a bank clearly. Even the colour scheme and background noise will tell you that.

Everything is wrong with a muslim-muslim ticket in Nigeria. Unless you're dishonest, everyone can clearly see how this Buhari/APC admin has turned all our MDAs into Northern muslim congregations, disregarding competence and even federal character. Enter Abuja and ALL men and women are dressing in hausa native attire to work because they want to please one oga or the other or gain access. The government has been unable to address increasing cases of religious violence meted out by muslims to non-muslims for fear of losing support.
We ideally should have a non-muslim president next, to balance out the islamic extremism Buhari has foisted on us. Any candidate that is daft enough to fly a muslim-muslim ticket must be taught that Nigeria belongs to all of us.

The government now has the excuse to actually register these idiots and ensure they're part of an association that will be held accountable and liable for their actions. They have no licenses, no registration or plate numbers for their bikes and are often under the influence which is why they're prone to violence. How can one set of people from one part of the country be responsible for most of the disturbances nationwide?

A walking, talking, flying fraud of a leader. Buhari is the evidence that bad things can indeed get worse with poor choices and weak policy.

This joker just opens his mouth and waaaah......Children have become victims under his watch, schools have been sacked and attacked multiple times and tertiary institutions are on strike BUT he is working hard to make their future bright? How about if he wasn't working then?

They will release a top militant leader affiliated with the group responsible for the attack and pay some ransom to secure the innocent citizens. They will also fail to make any plans to eliminate the group subsequently, which is what EVERY sensible government would do. It will happen again and the useless government will blame 16 years of the PDP for their ineptitude and failure.

Why do governors assume they can "pick" a successor? Is this a monarchy or what crap is this?

Our judiciary is a mess. The case is nearly 10years old but his sentence is 5years max, how does this make sense? Asides the fact that it's a slap on the wrist for stealing money, why go through all that trouble just to give him a silly sentence?
