If you want to choke Nigeria, the government should bring a subsidy that would make fuel cost N200 per liter.

You tend to always creat a scenerio to peach your mischief most of the time ... Who said oil should go back to #200 and why is #200 your basis .. If fuel sells for #700 as at today will Nigerian not feel changes and drop in cost of living

With the wastages and fund unaccounted for by Tinubu govt is #700 subsidy feasible ....Big Yes

Last subsidy by buhari was around #4.6trillion and today We have Nnpc report that says #11trillion was spent on securing pipelines & all . If we can afford that logically we can afford subsidy

Which would look good for everyone, but as government starts struggling to pay for it, two things would happen..mass scarcity with fuel being sold on the black market for as much as 2500 per liter,

Why is it that anytime Govt is called upon to do anything for the masses, rogue elites raise all kinds of skeptism, the nation is broke, it will cost inflation, Cbn will liquidate .. Buh within govt premises trillions of funds go missing and heaven did not fall
Over $3billion was spent to refix the refinery buh stiil did not work ... Sky did not fall but if we say Govt should pay pensioners backlog gratuity ... rogues Elites will scream economic bankruptcy

plus government borrowing massively to urgently pay for subsidy, or risk refineries running out of money for running costs...and by extensoon getting wrecked.

Bro take a break nd educate yourself, under subsidy regime and post subsidy regime ..the later have taken more loan than any govt that paid subsidy ... So your redflags are purely mischievous or cynical

The result is massive debt, and economic crisis.And us losing domestic refining capacity.

We are already in massive debt, bro get education, world bank just raise concern the amount we are using to service debt is more than IGR .. I doubt ur definition of massive Debt

There is a reason why most african countries including oil producers don't have subsidies on fuel...and those who have are phasing them out... e.g., Angola.

Bro you can say this at oshodi park not on a forum, we have 16 west africa countries nd just 6 make up opec oil producing nation. Only angola & Nigeria just phased out subsidy while libya and algeria continue to heavily subsidize ... We have more producing nation subsidizing. Nigeria and angola are not mate, angola has 9billion oil reserve, Nigeria has 39.9billion barrels reserves.

And subsidy costs are going to be very high. HormuzStraitt things are going to continue for a while, and even if it stops tomorrow...it would take months for oil prices to fall below normal.

There is no price that is to high to pay for a safe and enabling environment, the economic activities are largely dependant on fuel energy .. Subsidizing boost more economics activities that further drives cost & standard of living down

With affordable energy .. Manufacturers, welder, transporters, business owner have less cost of operation to deal with ..

Subsidizing local refineries wil also recalibrate prioritizing local production which all amount to impactful GDP growth that trickles into every household per capital

please go back to school or stop thinking you can play on peoples intelligence here Jo

I don't think journalism can be done with complete and 💯 unbias though.

I wil agree because i am a realist but i think if their will be any bias a " journalist" should lean towards the people becos a journalist is liable to whatever the people suffers or enjoy

Their is no ethic or professions that punishes being " pro people"

They will always be some level of pro or con involved.

Looking @ Dabiri jettison into politics ... Is it a misery to unravel she was " apolitical" dog & sheep dont roll

You can't expect nta to be 💯 unbias when we know he who pays the piper always dictates the tune- whether directly or indirectly they must exist some level of influence.

don't hide behind 💯 i dont believe it exist, If NTA bias is jistified then no staff of NTA has locus standi to query others " Journalism" thats my point

Even international media organizations like CNN and BBC can never be 💯 unbias.

Yes i agree with, even Trump deem CNN as opposition. But Journalism should never be rated by Govt standard, ... Journalist feel what ordinary people feel, they suffer house rent like me & others, they enter danfo i enter .. They can tell people stories better and in truth than they can ever tell govt side.

But that's not even the issue on ground... which is responsible/irresponsible journalism.


No matter who a journalist is for or against should be done responsibly.

Now who is the determinant of this responsibly, bro " responsibly is relative base on which side you belong

So i wont take that angle of Responsibly, what we should use as scale is Facts and Truth only !

Lets stand on facts & truth ... I think that is the journalism enough.

Can Abike Dabiri understand times have chamged and people must evolve

The journalism Abike is knows as Journalism is what they do on NTA, where they are always giving preferential treatment and taking sides with the Govt over the people

They water down grievances of the people and underreport what might taint govt image ..That is not journalism or properly that Military profounded journalism for Nigeria

from journalism Abike was able to jettison into politics, becos her journalism was apolitical.


Who watches NTA again, because we know it is like govt media house extension, journalism should be full representation of both sides,i.e govt & the people

Abeg remove that "10 Okonjo Iweala"
She has no business with this present administration...

I am not insulting her or attacking her, My point is there is no other path to come down from a tree than to follow how you climbed it, You dont have to start brain gymnastic or hire oxford & Harvard PhD, M.Sc. holders for that

Somethings are common sense,

Base on what and what he as done

There is no way Nigerians can smell prpsperity with high cost of " energy" ... Fuel cut across anything & influence cost of living

There is no road path to bring cost of living down without fuel subsidy

If you like hire 10 Taiwo oyedele & 10 nkwonjo iweala put together ... any policy not that does not support subsidizing forget .. If you like get 100phd in economics

HacheNoire:
The campaign was so colorful!

Neatly dressed and healthy supporters.

Unlike those of the opposition, always looking dirty, hungry, tired and defeated.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is GUARANTEED and ORDAINED to win in 2027

.You will read something and you will ask yourself is these one even educated or get sense

if anyone will call opposition name it is APC that is notorious for society nuisance, thugs, area boyz and Agbero
i.have attended apc meeting and house the Air is saturated with weed smell & fierce looking tout ...who is more dirty than thugs or area boyz

Atiku that has taken and corners so much of Nigerian Wealth for himself and Family, still get Mouth!
-First is the $16- BILLION NEPA/DISCOS Loan Money 💰,which he said ' if we had handled it well '
So Where is the Billion DOLLAR 💰 that should have given us Light 🕯️🚨?
-Secondly,his Wife has just been questions on the $ 500,000 DOLLAR again,
-Atiku Dare to Challenge OBJ Book In Courts,tTitled My Watch' - where Atiku's Was exposed on Financial Matters!
Yet, for 8- years,he couldn't Challenge Buhari! yet he thinks the Southerns are nothing to him,after all,the 3 and half years is good for SOUTHERNERS.
I pity Some People!

You go explain taya, Lagos money Tinubu sit upon for over 20yrs na im papa inheritance

$100bn Dangote paid for the refinery land ...who swallow am or did lagos account for it

Atiku na thief Tinubu is ole !

ElSudani:
People don't go to jail for driving offenses? In which country is it legal to drive against the traffic?
This can only happen when your pundit on finance and civic duties is a feral zoologist.

Bro you want to libel Rufai oseni as bad, find better lie talk

Say he stole is maternl parent money or rape one gurl you know ...ehn ehn

Traffic offence is common to anyone, woman, man, teenage, pastor who lastma never catch for lagos

The man you call zoologist get utmost attention from the politicians you twale and asslick.

Oseni is luved not because he shares rice or money but cos he speaks the truth undiluted

ElSudani:
I'm not known but I don't drive my car against traffic. A person's intelligence, common sense, or character is judged best by their actions and choices not by whether you are on TV or not.
No wonder people like this would vote against their own interests.

The politicians you worship do they not drive against traffic,. ..

Do you not notice people dont go to jail for driving offence instead they just pay Fine nd case close

Have you seen anyone discredited to contest on basis of driving offence

You wanted to clap back by all means buh the IQ no dey. eeyha !

VOsimhen144:
Atiku and Tinubu are the same, make them no whine us.. even former president Obasanjo can never endorse this Atiku for Nigerians.

Meanwhile I have a questions,,, if Peter Obi na bank, Tinubu na bank and Atiku too na bank. Be sincere which bank, will you take your money to and feel safe without having a sleepless nights over the safety of your money as a business owner?

the Jonathan wey obasanjo endorse he do well Nigerians reject am. Even the obasanjo you are talkimg about do people take him serious anymore .. his local govt can he endorsenchairman

Maybe Atiku and Tinubu share same blood of corruption But what is clear is there ideology different

Atiku chaired the economic council thatngave Nigeria excess crude savings, that was later wasted under GEJ

whether you like it or not Atiku is the only candidate that is speaking the mind of Nigerians

Richtaiwo:
Atiku’s only campaign point for 2027 presidential election is Tinubu. He still hasn't told Nigerian what he can do. What's the latest on Tinubu’s FBI records? Has he finally discovered Tinubu did not attend the university in Chicago?

You can see white and decide to call it red thats your problem but the other eye that sees know white is white

Atiku's campaign agenda is " Reduce cost of living. . bring a new subsidy different from the old import subsidy.

Atiku is the 1st to make a U turn nd Bring back subsidy since then We have seen APC jittery like never before.
Atiku is the momentum ...na who loves us we go love

ElSudani:
Coming from a guy who studied animal husbandry what can you expect?
Is it back like wasting $40 billion dollars in 4 years?

Je stidied animal husbandry buh today people you worship that don't even know you exist ...knows Rufai oseni, they follow is comment

weyrey subsidy last payment was 4trillion under Buhari they say we cant afford subsidy buh Nnpc spemt 11.2m on pipeline security and declare a profit if 7.2m

who is cursed here, All the money Tinubu as spent into sharing palliative, Rice and conditional cash transfer with any impact ..who is really wasting here

HacheNoire:
Well said by Honorable Nyesom Wike!

Lunatics should have no place in governance.

The Demigod/ His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) needs to sign an executive order banning lunatics from vying for public offices.

I am not surprise, brain & apc are like Us iran

If Wike is calling Anaechi a thief, as chief of staff to Amaechi what does that make him ?

Femi gbajabiamila wakes tomorrow call Tinubu thief .... How is femi not an accomplice for brain sake

Amaechi is a lunatic to rule Nigeria Buh Amaechi was not a lunatic to be wike Benefactor and boss
Finding one person that have brain in apc is like looking for snow in Nigeria

Someone thats hold umbrella for a mad person is what

Henriobi:
No wonder I didn't receive my data subscription after subscribing through my mobile bank app and being debited. I tried reaching out to their customer care agent last night, but they made the process difficult, so I was able to speak with an agent this morning, who apologised for the inconvenience and said it would be resolved today.

Same issue as well, dem don credit you

seunmsg:
What exactly is your point? You are angry FG intervened to keep prices from going further higher? What exactly do you guys in the opposition want? Tinubu's head? You have dropped three different comments on the thread in an attempt to quickly populate the page 1 with jargons. Una no dey tire?

Is it angry you see or The total embrassment Tinubu govt brought upon himself

From yr 1 to yr 3 Nigerians have pleaded, called for subsidy and this Govt economic team insisted the market as being deregualted therefore Govt intervention in any form is an abberation/distortion
They rubbished every idea of subsidy as controlling price over the years, thank God for Atiku wind

Tinubu's government lost its mojo ... and in the height of desperation" price cap" or call it discount ... forget the semantic that it is not " Govt controlling "

when you say no matter what happens price can not go beyond 1350 via forward sales ... is that not " capping" or is that not " price control"

is that not " inconsistency & a clear indication Tinubu govt just dole out a measure out of Panic, the election is less than 100days ..Nigerians are not fuulls

Taiwo might call it price modulation, leave grammar. any adjustment or cut on " selling price" is a subsidy .. if you like have phd or know english more than pocohantas

Your apc govt is not serious, there are filling station already selling less than 1350 per litre the govt is proposing

is due diligence that difficult before coming to press

Amaechi dhould please shutup, he is a liability everytime he opens his mouth let Atiku and shaibu do the talking !

At these level or stage we are the commendation is no longer on the INTiATIVE we are not focus on Results

You release CNG buses sound good on paper ....what is the Fare placed on those buses lets juxtapose

FG release 100 + 50, from private is that even adequate to the populace of Lagos talk more enforce expected relief

Under Tinubu CNG intiative after 3yrs, 120000 cars converted, 96 filings stations scales to adequate ..the overall success rate is less than 1%

Chibuchris:
My dear this move we also tell you that this government is very very broke, if we allow this and it runs till January hmm it will be a serious debt on Nigerian.
This government is confused and has used all there life line. When tinubu is booted out next year, you will see the rot in this country.
And mind you this is also an avenue for nnpc to syphon money too.

Funnily there are even stations selling less than the FG relief of 1350 .. I know of MRS

the whole idea is of no significance, #50 is not a discount if i can afford 1350 i can pay 1400,

i get #50 on the floor of my bedside for over 8months now ..weytin i wan use am do

clothingonline:
The fuel is for public bus only it’s not for all so why will you call it subsidy and the price margin is low government just remove NNPC tax on fuel so less than 200naira difference

You know whats Funny, Taiwo oyedele himself cited Zambia did something like that .. He discredits the idea live on air why start what can not be sustained

Look at what zambia did and compare to what Nigeria did ..who get sænse

Lithiumite:
I totally disagree with this policy by tinubu......it throws him off as an inconsistent person......also the details of the policy are shrouded in so much obscurity.

That you can even disagree with Tinubu i give you a clap

No be shrouded, the whole concept no just make any sense nii

Subsidy in 30days, I watched Taiwo oyedele cited Zambia as starting what they can't sustain and he use as a basis to discredit subsidy comeback ...buh what did they do now

I don't know if the 30days is what makes it hilarious the most or that Nnpc stations are the sole dispenser .... Imagine the queue, the chaos and road blockages that is going to happen across nnpc route across the nation.

This govt clearly dont know what they are doing

IAM4BAT4plus4:
Imagine Nigerians sha!





You guys complain about hardship and the President swiftly responds by giving freebies on fuel ⛽ price, but instead of you to appreciate the kind gesture of the President, you are still spewing rubbish 😡

No matter your hipocrisy, PBAT is your President till 2031...


TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

please mechonu ! what is swift about a alleged solution that comes after ova 5 month Us iran crisis started. Is that even a solution

So you expect market forces to respect 30days subsidy in a country where people claim old stock nd law of gravity holds no sway

Tell us how 30days subsidy on Fuel will impact cost & standard of living.. or bring food prices down

Result is the focus ...

nairavsdollars:
Worse than that but I heard even this Adebayo is owing his staff months of unpaid salaries

you heard, sounds like a rumour, One thing anout you Tinubu fanatics is that you cant stand truth message

once anyone it una with Truth, you leave the message nd start lookingfor our to llibel the person

is 30days subsidy not a absolute joke ..... some Nigerians wil even want to stock up nd keep fuel in advance
Tell us how 30days wil reflect relief, what we know won't last

30days off cancer and it will be back ....30days must feel like 10years

So let analyse this ....the market, producers, under the cut down in energy cost is just fews days ...will mar0ket inflation bow to 30days chemo

i seear Tinubu & his team are clowns. 🤣

Dotherightthing:
There is NOBODY who does not need money. As a bona fide Nigerian you deserve a dividend from the huge windfall currently realised from the high crude oil price.

If you don't need it, you can give whoever you think needs it around.

Currently, 68.6 million Nigerians have BVN. Everybody should have BVN. Those who cannot have are detached from the economic crisis somewhat.

I know people who get cash transfer...

there is nobody that does not need monry buh getting money that has value. or carry purchasing power is also sancrosanct

As a educate & exposed Nigerian, condirional cash transfer is not dividend of democracy man
Dividend of Democracy

1. Good health centre
2. stable power supply
3. Enabling environment & support policies 4. 4. 4.Tax holiday
5. Infrastructures that foster ease movement & comfort e.t.c

please with youMentality you are not fit to be proffering solutions, honestly go to proper school

can you imagine ...cash transfer dividend of democracy. there is a reason eligibles for condition cash transfer are the poorest of society

Dotherightthing:
The US-Iran was has caused crude oil price to up thereby leading to increase in the cost of refined products back home. As an oil-producing country we should NOT be exposed to global oil shocks.

Rather than return subsidy, the FG can do an UNCONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER to all Nigerians based in Nigeria using BVN as a criterion.

Currently, the FG is earning a windfall from the hugh cost of crude oil in the world market.

It is only fair to take a little sum from that windfall and share to all NIGERIANS based in Nigeria who have BVN.

This will augment the energy and transportation costs that have risen astronomically as a result of the rise in crude oil caused by the US-Iran war.

It will also automatically lead to a reduction in the price of good and services and reduce the temperature of the economy.

Subsidy CANNOT work in Nigeria.

The day fuel becomes so cheap in Nigeria compared to neighbouring countries, SMUGGLING will resume on a HUGE SCALE, filling stations will horde the fuel and MASSIVE FUEL queues will return.

UNCONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER to all Nigerians is the way forward. From Dangote to the poorest Nigerian with a BVN, everybody should get a sum.

ALL Nigerians deserve to get CASH from FG at this time not just APC members of different shade and colours or the 'poorest of the poor'.

As a BONA FIDE Nigerian, I deserve to enjoy the benefit of being a citizen of a major oil producing country without having to be an APC member or poorest of if the poor.

This UNCONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER should continue until the war is over and crude oil returns to the normal price.

why do you people like living the road, and shook head to bush enroute nowhere

We should do conditional transfer to how many Nigerians, All 250m is to what impact, how much wan make difference

it irritating how supposed elite reasoning like this, when you give us 20k or 30k cash transfer how does that reduce cost of living or

So far in the last 3years, what is the success rate of the conditional cash transfer, so for how long will Govt cash transfer
is the " corruption" tendencies not rven discouraging enough .. on the last report beneficiary of conditional cash transfer don't have phones ...is that not laughable

So instead of subsidy that can bring down cost & standard of living that will trickle down to All, both consumer & producers will be boosted

You are proposing " conditional cash transfer," that clearly has no impact, minimum wage is 70k you cant give people conditional cash even up to 70k .. . so how exactly have to solved the inflation crisis

even if you give each home 100k it can never brings the sporadic relief subsidy on crude will ever bring.

i listen to Taiwo oyedele he was citing Zambia as one reason of not starting whats substainable ...for heaven sake this guy intentional left Russia, saudi, Germany nd better nation go use Zambia to drive is draconian economic ideology

what i see about Taiwo is an intellect guy positioned to work anti clockwise so he hides behnd his credential nd foo nigerians

it is macroeconomics that makes up micro .. is that standard economics or scientific? phd my foot

Freshtruth:
I am an Anambra man Tinubu has brought me rice, polo and face cap with 15k cash.
. What has obi my state person done for me


..

Lets evaluate what they gave you,

A whiite customised apc polo by quality you can"t wear to church, family meeting, owambe, date or clubbing without feeling insecure

A 15k that can't buy you food that will last one month

A white cap ... Dis one d money you will invest in hypo to keep it neat by end of the year suppse start sme

Is another wasted 4yrs added to your current age ... 15k + polo worth the wasted years

Govt have completely failed Nigeria in all ramifications ...check all the kidnap rescue srory ....the victims can not give an experience of gun shot or shootout that led to their rescue

What military do is simply pickup logistic and claim they rescue the victims halfway

At this point what VDM said at the NBA summit adds up ...govt & security are complicit in all these crimes
