Politics › Re: Gov Fashola Ignorantly Seeks A Cut In Petrol Pump Price by Demdem(m): 1:22am On Dec 08, 2014

VolvoS60:

Of course I'm going to complicate matters for myself, necessarily or unnecessarily. After all, I'm Nigerian. Its our way. Even you too.

You obviously haven't read my previous posts on this thread. The simplicity you seek is in those posts is there for you and all to see. But I'll repeat my key points just this once.

Nigeria has no business importing refined fuel. No business at all.

Nigerians want to know how much it costs to drill and refine a litre of PMS/DPK/AGO locally here in Nigeria. This price should then be compared to the (all-in) cost of importing a litre of refined PMS/DPK or AGO. Provide this information and we will kickoff the debate.

Your essay on Venezuela and Qatar omitted one crucial bit of information: Are the Venezuelans and the Qataris subsidizing imported fuel or they are subsidizing fuel drilled and refined locally in their own countries? This sir, is the crux of the matter.

P.S. Only hard facts and numbers will settle this matter. Not conjecture or wishful thinking.

In addition to this, Nigerians need to know how much fuel we consume per day. With this data, we will know exactly how much is really being spent on this so called subsidy as against what we are being fed with.
During the previous scandal, the figure Ngozi gave was different from what NNPC gave while both figures was completely different from what the accountant general gave at the NASS enquiry. Nobody seems to know. Highly pathetic.

I must agree with you that it is either FG is ignorant of this discrepancy or they have a hand in it

I won't defend Jona on this one if he fails to explain why it is so.

The more reason why I will never support what was done to diesel to be done for petrol by either this govt or any incoming govt
Until diesel price that is already deregulated begin to move in true accordance with market forces, petrol will never succeed.

Are you sure there is no drop in diesel price.? If yes

Then the greed of oil marketers is at work.

The best solution is to build more medium scale refineries or convince some oil marketers to sell cheaper in order to seize the market which will force others to cut down price.

[b]
This has always been my argument against proponents of deregulation of the sector. We have tried it for diesel and it's not working, why on earth can someone convince me that it will work for petrol.

These lot will like to hinge their hopes on the telecommunication sector where healthy competition brought prices down. This work for them then because most of the investors were foreign.
It will be foolhardy to compare them with our local oil merchants that are high profile politicians who will just form a cartel and determine price they deem fit.
Importing is a big disservice to this nation and we Av a useless govt that doesn't care about our local refining capability.
The same thing is currently happening in the cement sector where big players in the industry jointly sat together and agree on price of cement and some folks will call that competition. Bullshit, that's a cartel.

On a small scale, we have tried deregulation of diesel and instead of marketers competing between themselves, they are forming cartels amongst themselves further improvising Nigerians and the govt is looking aloof. If the benefits are not gotten from diesel under this govt, we can never get the same for petrol. This isn't rocket science but common sense.[/b]

barcanista:
What iis the %Change in the Price of the Dollar and what is the %Change in the price of crude oil? My friend this is a very simple economics.

At price $100 per barrel, government spends 1trillion on subsidy bills. Naira/Dollar was N165.

At price $70 per barrel, government cannot justify spending the same 1 trillion on subsidy bills, despite the devalue of the naira to 178 per dollar. The %Change can never justify it.

We have 30% reduction in the price of the crude oil, with a 8% increament in the price of the dollar. The disparity is just glaring. The price of petrol must go down or the appropriation on subsidy must go down should the price of petrol remain constant.

Wellsaid. In addition, crude price has been falling since June while devaluation of the naira was just a recent occurrence.

War In Rivers State PDP:Former Minister Ajumogobia Writes To PDP Chairman-Wike Should Be Disqualified

Former Minister Ajumogobia
There is war in Rivers State PDP chapter.

Read former Minister Ajumogobia's letter to PDP Chairman below...

Dear Sir: On Monday 24 November 2014 I was notified by the Gubernatorial Screening Committee (south south zone) chaired by Amb Obed Wadzani that I was not cleared to contest the PDP Gubernatorial Primary Election based upon a single petition written by one Ere Manuel Chairman of PDP (Akuku Toru chapter).

On Wednesday 26 November 2014 following an appeal by me in writing to the Gubernatorial Screening Appeal Panel, the esteemed Panel under the most distinguished chairmanship of the respected Arc. Bunu upheld my appeal and cleared me to contest the gubernatorial primary election demonstrating the high integrity of the leadership of the party and its organs and the party's unwavering respect for the party constitution and the rule of law. I subsequently learned that Chief Nyesom Wike CON also an aspirant to the office of Governor of Rivers State on the platform of the PDP had previously been cleared by the Gubernatorial Screening Committee (South South zone)to contest the gubernatorial primary election in Rivers State.

This comes to me as a surprise because Chief Nyesom Wike is from the same Ikwerre ethnic nationality as the incummbent governor of Rivers State Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi CON who was elected on the platform of the PDP and would by May 2015 have been in office as Governor of Rivers State for a period of eight years.It is particularly significant that the said Rt. Hon.Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi succeeded another distinguished Ikwerre son - Sir Celestine Omehia who had also been elected Governor of Rivers state on the platform of the PDP on 29 May 2007,though his tenure was terminated by the Judgement and Order of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on 26 October 2007, by which the Court ordered the swearing in of the Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi as the authentic gubernatorial candidate of the PDP, that won the 2007 gubernatorial election.I observe that one of the mandatory processes for the submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for all aspirants to the office of Governor of a State is "a sworn declaration made before a Commissioner of Oaths or Notary Public,undertaking to abide by the guidelines, all laws and any rules or regulations made by the party relating to the conduct of primary elections".

This sworn declaration was required to accompany the duly completed Nomination forms. I have taken the liberty of attaching a copy of the declaration that accompanied my own Nomination form.The Constitution of the PDP 2012 (as amended)clearly and expressly stipulates inter alia that the Party, and a fortiori, all members of the Party shall "conform with the principles of power shift and power sharing by rotating key political offices amongst the diverse peoples of the country" (Article 2 (d) of the Preamble). Further Article 7(3)(c) of the Constitution provides that the Party SHALL adhere "to the policy of the rotation and zoning of Party and Public elective officves in pursuance of the principles of equity justice and fairness". I believe that with due respect to Ambassador Obed Wadzani and his Gubernatorial Screening Committee, that this crucial point must have been an oversight on the part of the Gubernatorial Screening Committee that cleared Chief Nyesom Wike, who is clearly not eligible to contest the Gubernatorial Primary Election in Rivers State,having regard to the above clear and express mandatory and binding prescriptions of the Constitution of the PDP 2012 (as amended) relating to power shift and rotation of key political and/or public offices, and binding on all Party Members and Organs.

I trust that the Party will thus take appropriate measures or steps to immediately correct this anomaly and to exclude the said Chief Nyesom Wike from taking part in the Gubernatorial primary elections in Rivers State in conformity with the provisions of the Constitution of the Party which all aspirants to the office of governor on the platform of the party undertook by declaration on oath to abide by.

Yours faithfully H. Odein Ajumogobia SAN OFR

This is the reason why I don't take most of these opposition supporters serious. You just wake up and make baseless accusations without facts, just because you don't like the person. For your information, I don't dwell on rumour but facts. Wike on his side has done very well while serving as minister of state for Education, by spear heading the face lifting of the unity schools across the nation, as well as establishment of the Amajiri schools in many northern states. He equally deserves supports from well meaning Rivers state residents.

Bunkum. Errant Nonsense. Gibberish.
Under his leadership, lecturers both in universities and polytechnics were on strike and for months, ur tout Wike had no clue on what to do about it but to sack entire Nigerian University lecturers.
It took a new minister just less than 24 hours after taking over for university lecturers to get back to class and u are here talking about wike educational transformation. Prof Ruki initiated the almajiri stuff and not wike. Show pictures of unity schools facelift u were deceived with also.
Wike has been going round for days now seeking the votes of pdp delegates and not once has he stated how he will better the lives of Rivers people. All what the fool has been saying is Amaechi is disrespecting Jonathan, amaechi is disrespecting shepo, apc is this and that.....
.etc
Does that suggest a man that has vision? He is empty up there and has no concrete blue print on how he intends governing Rivers.

This looks more like APC primaries in Rivers State was abandoned by aspirants. A viable party is supposed to have several people struggling to get the nomination for a wealthy state like Rivers.

I am suspecting that other aspirants are annoyed with the selection process and decided to stay away.

Internal democracy during candidate selection is a key component of a winning party.

Let's wait and see if these aggrieved candidates u are talking about will proceed to apc national headquarters with coffins.
