When you've tried something and failed, get an installer. With 5k, you're done. Rather than stressing yourself out and if quantified in monetary value, it would be more than 10k

Now u want a logical reason even though ur lord was @ the forefront saying subsidy doesnt exist. Dip ur face in sh1t demanding for logical reason.

Get a thinking cap young man

Under GEJ in 2012 price of barrel of crude oil was about $100 and the daily crude oil export was about 2,000,000 barrels per day.

Under Buhari, price of barrel of crude oil is about $47 and the daily crude oil export was about 1,100,000 barrels per day.

Please honest Nigerians, where do you want Buhari and Kachukwu to get money to pay for subsidy? Please tell me.

simple arithmetic tells you $100 X 2,000,000 barrels = $200,000,000 per day 2012 under GEJ
$47 X 1,100,000 barrels = $51,700,000 per day 2016 under Buhari


Tell us what GEJ did with that surplus from 2012 to 2014 at least

By Obafemi Awolowo

The aim of a leader should be the welfare of the people whom he leads. I have used ‘welfare’ to denote the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the people. With this aim fixed unflinchingly and unchangeably before my eyes I consider it my duty to Yoruba people in particular and to Nigerians in general, to place four imperatives before you this morning. Two of them are categorical and two are conditional. Only a peaceful solution must be found to arrest the present worsening stalemate and restore normalcy. The Eastern Region must be encouraged to remain part of the Federation. If the Eastern Region is allowed by acts of omission or commission to secede from or opt out of Nigeria, then the Western Region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation. The people of Western Nigeria and Lagos should participate in the ad hoc committee or any similar body only on the basis of absolute equality with the other regions of the Federation.

I would like to comment briefly on these four imperatives. There has, of late, been a good deal of sabre rattling in some parts of the country. Those who advocate the use force for the settlement of our present problems should stop a little and reflect. I can see no vital and abiding principle involved in any war between the North and the East. If the East attacked the North, it would be for purpose of revenge pure and simple. Any claim to the contrary would be untenable. If it is claimed that such a war is being waged for the purpose of recovering the real and personal properties left behind in the North by Easterners two insuperable points are obvious. Firstly, the personal effects left behind by Easterners have been wholly looted or destroyed, and can no longer be physically recovered. Secondly, since the real properties are immovable in case of recovery of them can only be by means of forcible military occupation of those parts of the North in which these properties are situated. On the other hand, if the North attacked the East, it could only be for the purpose of further strengthening and entrenching its position of dominance in the country.

If it is claimed that an attack on the East is going to be launched by the Federal Government and not by the North as such and that it is designed to ensure the unity and integrity of the Federation, two other insuperable points also become obvious. First, if a war against the East becomes a necessity it must be agreed to unanimously by the remaining units of the Federation. In this connection, the West, Mid- West and Lagos have declared their implacable opposition to the use of force in solving the present problem. In the face of such declarations by three out of remaining four territories of Nigeria, a war against the East could only be a war favoured by the North alone. Second, if the true purpose of such a war is to preserve the unity and integrity of the Federation, then these ends can be achieved by the very simple devices of implementing the recommendation of the committee which met on August 9 1966, as reaffirmed by a decision of the military leaders at Aburi on January 5 1967 as well as by accepting such of the demands of the East, West, Mid-West and Lagos as are manifestly reasonable, and essential for assuring harmonious relationships and peaceful co-existence between them and their brothers and sisters in the North.

Some knowledgeable persons have likened an attack on the East to Lincoln’s war against the southern states in America. Two vital factors distinguish Lincoln’s campaign from the one now being contemplated in Nigeria. The first is that the American civil war was aimed at the abolition of slavery – that is the liberation of millions of Negroes who were then still being used as chattels and worse than domestic animals. The second factor is that Lincoln and others in the northern states were English-speaking people waging a war of good conscience and humanity against their fellow nationals who were also English speaking. A war against the East in which Northern soldiers are predominant, will only unite the Easterners or the Ibos against their attackers, strengthen them in their belief that they are not wanted by the majority of their fellow-Nigerians, and finally push them out of the Federation.

We have been told that an act of secession on the part of the East would be a signal, in the first instance, for the creation of the COR state by decree, which would be backed, if need be, by the use of force. With great respect, I have some dissenting observations to make on this declaration. There are 11 national or linguistic groups in the COR areas with a total population of 5.3 millions. These national groups are as distinct from one another as the Ibos are distinct from them or from the Yorubas or Hausas. Of the 11, the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group are 3.2 million strong as against the Ijaws who are only about 700,000 strong. Ostensibly, the remaining nine national group number 1.4 millions. But when you have subtracted the Ibo inhabitants from among them, what is left ranges from the Ngennis who number only 8,000 to the Ogonis who are 220,000 strong. A decree creating a COR state without a plebiscite to ascertain the wishes of the peoples in the area, would only amount to subordinating the minority national groups in the state to the dominance of the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group. It would be perfectly in order to create a Calabar state or a Rivers state by decree, and without a plebiscite. Each is a homogeneous national unit. But before you lump distinct and diverse national units together in one state, the consent of each of them is indispensable. Otherwise, the seed of social disquilibrium in the new state would have been sown.

On the other hand, if the COR State is created by decree after the Eastern Region shall have made its severance from Nigeria effective, we should then be waging an unjust war against a foreign state. It would be an unjust war, because the purpose of it would be to remove 10 minorities in the East from the dominance of the Ibos only to subordinate them to the dominance of the Efik/Ibibio/Annang national group. I think I have said enough to demonstrate that any war against the East, or vice versa, on any count whatsoever, would be an unholy crusade, for which it would be most unjustifiable to shed a drop of Nigerian blood. Therefore, only a peaceful solution must be found, and quickly too to arrest the present rapidly deteriorating stalemate and restore normalcy.

With regard to the second categorical imperative, it is my considered view that whilst some of the demands of the East are excessive within the context of a Nigerian union, most of such demands are not only well-founded, but are designed for smooth and steady association amongst the various national units of Nigeria.

The dependence of the Federal Government on financial contributions from the regions? These and other such like demands I do not support. Demands such as these, if accepted, will lead surely to the complete disintegration of the Federation which is not in the interest of our people. But I wholeheartedly support the following demands among others, which we consider reasonable and most of which are already embodied in our memoranda to the Ad Hoc Committee….

That revenue should be allocated strictly on the basis of derivation; that is to say after the Federal Government has deducted its own share for its own services the rest should be allocated to the regions to which they are attributable.

That the existing public debt of the Federation should become the responsibility of the regions on the basis of the location of the projects in respect of each debt whether internal or external.

That each region should have and control its own militia and police force.

That, with immediate effect, all military personnel should be posted to their regions of origin….

If we are to live in harmony one with another as Nigerians it is imperative that these demands and others which are not related, should be met without further delay by those who have hitherto resisted them. To those who may argue that the acceptance of these demands will amount to transforming Nigeria into a federation with a weak central government, my comment is that any link however tenuous, which keeps the East in the Nigerian union, is better in my view than no link at all.

Before the Western delegates went to Lagos to attend the meetings of the ad hoc committee, they were given a clear mandate that if any region should opt out of the Federation of Nigeria, then the Federation should be considered to be at an end, and that the Western Region and Lagos should also opt out of it. It would then be up to Western Nigeria and Lagos as an independent sovereign state to enter into association with any of the Nigerian units of its own choosing, and on terms mutually acceptable to them. I see no reason for departing from this mandate. If any region in Nigeria considers itself strong enough to compel us to enter into association with it on its own terms, I would only wish such a region luck. But such luck, I must warn, will, in the long run be no better than that which has attended the doings of all colonial powers down the ages. This much I must say in addition, on this point. We have neither military might nor the overwhelming advantage of numbers here in Western Nigeria and Lagos. But we have justice of a noble and imperishable cause on our side, namely: the right of a people to unfettered self-determination. If this is so, then God is on our side, and if God is with us then we have nothing whatsoever in this world to fear.

The fourth imperative, and the second conditional one has been fully dealt with in my recent letter to the Military Governor of Western Nigeria, Col. Robert Adebayo, and in the representation which your deputation made last year to the head of the Federal Military Government, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon. As a matter of fact, as far back as November last year a smaller meeting of leaders of thought in this Region decided that unless certain things were done, we would no longer participate in the meeting of the ad hoc committee. But since then, not even one of our legitimate requests has been granted. I will, therefore, take no more of your time in making further comments on a point with which you are well familiar. As soon as our humble and earnest requests are met, I shall be ready to take my place on the ad hoc committee. But certainly, not before.

In closing, I have this piece of advice to give. In order to resolve amiably and in the best interests of all Nigerians certain attributes are required on the part of Nigerian leaders, military as well as non-military leaders alike, namely: vision, realism and unselfishness. But above all , what will keep Nigerian leaders in the North and East unwaveringly in the path of wisdom, realism and moderation is courage and steadfastness on the part of Yoruba people in the course of what they sincerely believe to be right, equitable and just. In the past five years we in the West and Lagos have shown that we possess these qualities in a large measure. If we demonstrate them again as we did in the past, calmly and heroically, we will save Nigeria from further bloodshed and imminent wreck and, at the same time, preserve our freedom and self-respect into the bargain.

May God rule and guide our deliberations here, and endow all the Nigerian leaders with the vision, realism, and unselfishness as well as courage and steadfastness in the course of truth, which the present circumstances demand.

Must u include jonathan Buhari made a decision nd ure telling us jonathan would have made same decision, why did u guys protest in 2012 when he did it Has jonathan even 4 1ce criticized these government? Y not let the man 2 rest??

Yes.

Read.

It means even if it was Remi Shonaiya or Nihu Ribadu that's the president, Subsidy on PMS would still have been removed

We were buying fuel at the rate of N65 per litre in December, 2011 and by 3rd week in January, 2012 we started buying at the rate of N97 per litre. This amounts to savings of N32 on every litre. Can we ask Jonathan, Diezani and NOI what they did with our N32 per litre from Jan, 2012 to February, 2015?

Nothing to show. Even SURE-P was a fraud. We knew this and that was why we occupied Nigeria.

In 2016, we are not going to occupy any where. We would only trust buhari to give us

1) Improved economy
2) Security
3) Electricity
4) Good Roads
5) Improved infrastructures
6) Improved well being of Nigerians

Jonathan insists on fuel subsidy removal ON MARCH 20, 2013 12:05 AM

YINKA KOLAWOLE & GODWIN ORITSE

LAGOS — President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, in Lagos, unveiled a platform of economic development for the country that must be predicated on full removal of fuel subsidy.


Speaking at the Nigeria Summit 2013 organised by The Economist with the theme Enabling and Implementing Change, Jonathan said the fuel subsidy just have to be removed, but after discussing with the public about the easiest way to do it. He said: “We cannot continue to waste resources meant for a greater number of Nigerians to subsidise the affluent middle class, who are the main beneficiaries.”

It would be recalled that attempt by the Federal Government to remove the fuel subsidy on January 1, 2012 led to widespread protests in the country, forcing the government to partially reinstate the subsidy with fuel price set at N97 per liter from N65, prompting an increase in last year’s budget by N161 billion to accommodate the subsidy.

Nigerian President Seeks to Cut Fuel Subsidies After Oil Decline

Yinka Ibukun

November 20, 2014 — 8:57 AM WAT


Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan proposed to cut fuel subsidies in half in a bid to reduce spending after a retreat in global crude prices.
The government of Africa’s biggest oil producer plans to reduce fuel subsidies next year to 458.6 billion naira ($2.6 billion) from 971.1 billion naira, Senate President David Mark, said yesterday in the capital, Abuja, citing a revised 2015 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper submitted by Jonathan.


Jonathan’s last attempt to scrap the subsidy in January 2012 sparked a week of strikes and protests, forcing the government to partially reinstate it. Unions and activists opposed the subsidy’s removal and said the government should fix its poorly maintained refineries and tackle corruption before raising costs for Nigerians.

Nigeria’s 36 states insist on removal of fuel subsidy

The 36 states of the federation on Tuesday declared that there was no going back on their demand for the Federal Government to put a stop to the removal of subsidy on petroleum products in the country.

On the proposed removal of fuel subsidy, the Chairman, Finance Commissioners Forum, Timothy Odaah, said the forum had extensive discussion on it.

Likewise, the issue of subsidy removal came up again and we still stand on the removal of fuel subsidy, because it will be of much greater benefit to the states. The intention of the Federal Government is being defeated by its abuse by some people,” he said.

He said states were determined to ensure that the demand for total removal of fuel subsidy was pursued to its logical end, as the fuel subsidy regime as currently operated has been a fraud.


“The issue of subsidy removal re-echoed today and it became an issue of discussion and the report of the committee set up three months ago is being awaited and we still stand on the removal of subsidy as it will be of much benefit to the states because what we have now is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

“The purpose by which government set up subsidy is being defeated and so it should be based on consumption”, Mr. Odaah added.

Take note of the last news item, it was bound to happen no matter what we did. All these propositions came on during GEJ's regime and he would have implemented it in 2015.

The thing had to go in the best interest of everyone in Nigeria.

The best time to kill it is now under a very transparent man, who would account for every kobo to be saved from subsidy removal

Where in the world do you think insurgency or guerrilla war can be quenched completely?

Most ignorant commentators in Nigeria thinks fighting terrorism is like WW1 or WW11, or even Syria War. Hell no. Those war can have a start date and end date cos the parties fighting would be seeing each other and at the end of everything, a truce can be reached and warring parties sign treaties and agreement.

Insurgency, you don't even know who you are fighting.

USA was bombed (Plane entering into WTC)
UK train in 2005
France in 2015
Belgium in 2016
Spain also.

Cos they don't know or can see when the attackers intend to attack. Kudos must be given to the Nigerian Army to have recorded a success rate thus far. We can never win this war completely, but we can silence boko haram almost completely. One of the reasons I feel sorry for those termites calling themselves Militants in the Niger delta. With the kind of morale the Nigerian Army have, they will find it easy to drop down Tompolo and his men. Tell tompolo not to hide, since he can fight the government even if he's arrested.

So difficult to tackle when fighting Guerrilla warfare

Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which a small group of combatants such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.

Please follow the highlighted text above. The modus operandi of these criminals are difficult to crack down. Fighting a hit and run isn't going to be easy like Nigeria VS Ghana war, cos you don't even know your target. Even your co tenant can bring bomb into your compound or building and decide to blow you up. Imagine when you queue at the bus stop and a pretty lady has a bomb in her bag, how would you know?

We should just leave sentiment apart and support the Government. You can really will a war against an unknown target.

You can still go ahead to track it for whatever its worth. Why say so?

9e still has lots of interesting channels especially the AFN package and the kabeloski package that are FTA BBC, Blomberg, TV5 CCTV etc.

However for the CCCAM, I'll advice you hold on till after May or till the end of May, 2016. Cos the Austriasat Hungary that hosts digisports and sport TV Hungary may likely leave by 15th of May, 2016. But if they failed to leave by June 1st, 2016 then you can resume the purchase of CCCAM. But for now, hold on.

As I type, all sports channels are still active
