When GEJ left office, it was N87, not N97.

Deemas:
So I took a nap and had a dream where GEJ was still the president and fuel was selling for 97 naira/litre. All of a sudden, I woke up to hear of 617 naira/litre. This is no longer funny at all ooooooooo... Judiciary please do the needful ASAP.

You nor dey alright

orohbiro:
For crying out loud election has been won and gone already why is obi frustrating Tinubu government? Why won't he embrace peace and throw in the towel, he is till young 2027 is still coming hr should humbling allow Tinubu finish his Tenure in peace and wait for his turn. As he dey fight and critizes Tinubu government na so another person go fight his own government one day. Yeye Man

You can't remove subsidy and keep minimum wage at N30,000. Nigeria is already the poverty capital of the world, don't make it an exponential.

Subsidy can go when other things have been put in place.

The insecurity is the driver of inflation, not subsidy in my opinion.

I support the removal of subsidy but after certain things have been done. Besides, the fall of Nigerian currency should not be a yardstick to ascertain whether petrol is relatively cheaper or expensive compared to other countries. The citizens shouldn't bear the brunt of govts ineptitude in strengthening the naira. Are we saying if naira falls to 2000 to a dollar, then fuel goes to N2000/litre? Thats atrocious!

nairalanda1:
1. The inflation is why I want subsidy to go.

2.Inflation may also be real...smuggling, stealing , corruption, etc adds its own.

3.And it happens because we force petrol to be sold below what it costs to produce and pay a subsidy to cover the loss.

4.At the end of the day, when that happens, money is lost.


Meanwhile , products sold at market price don't have that issue. Ever wonder why Innoson is still working? Because he is allowed to sell his cars at a profit. He is not forced to sell cars at N500000 so that the poor can drive cars.

You see how the common man like you insists on the structures of criminality that will never benefit you. You think this is video games?

I said shut your basket mouth up. Poverty sniffer

That 400 billion monthly is not real, highly inflated. Besides even if the NASS and fg budget for themselves is N10 billion, they should cut it by half as a show of leadership and sacrifice before asking citizens to make sacrifice.

Mind you the lives of political office holders are 100% subsidized

nairalanda1:
Here is the thing

Aso Rock budget was around 70 billuon, National Assembly around 150 billion. For one year.

Subsidy costs for the six months averaged over 400 billion monthly. And government still owes NNPC 2.8 trillion in unpaid subsidy costs.

WE should cut government spending, but it won't do much. The problem is, we cannot do anything about the cost of production.

As for smuggling, other countries with subsidy have heavy duty smuggling problems. Libya is even using airstrikes on smugglers self.

Tinubu will be removed max 4months. Very soon you guys will turn it to Yoruba something and link it to June 12. You've got it coming

helinues:
I am only curious if some of this opposition supporters are still making use of their free gifted senses.

Why all this shallow thoughts

Who is this nuisance?

zinaunreal:
Guy stop talking nonsense. Keep shut

Subsidy is sustainable if the cost of governance is reduced by 40%, if the people smuggling fuel across the borders to neighboring countries are apprehended and prosecuted, if the people inflating the number of litres consumed are prosecuted, if the refineries are made to work etc.

Why are we not holding the criminal political class accountable? Why are we letting them get away with fantastic corruption?

nairalanda1:
I believe that the president should not have approved 70 billion for NASS.

Or appproved any salary increase.

Both are wrong (and anyway, since I did not vote for APC, because I kind of was angry with them, and regarded them as the mirror image of the detestable PDP as early as 2014)...

But the hard fact is, 70 billion cannot pay our subsidy costs for one year or even one month.

It could do wonders for a government university if it was spent there though.



Do I like it? No. Do I like our current crup of leaders, NO. Do I wish that subsidy should have gone? No and no. I even wish there was a way to keep fuel cheap for even just the poorest of the poor somehow.

But we made bad choices for years, even before 1999, and here we are. You can call me a tinubu supporter, a gej supporter, a corn eater, a joker and a fool, and whatever abuse you have......but at the moment subsidy is not sustainable anymore, AND I EFFING HATE THAT FACT.

The most prepared fraudsident according to CORNfused people is apparently unprepared

You guys are jokers! Try nonsense and the military will occupy SW!

JAMO84:
We are gradually getting there. I hope it doesn't come to that Sha.

Less than 10%?

HitlerWasRight:
Which evidence ?

LP that had less than 10% reps at the polling unit levels across the nation.


Be hyping yourselves.

We go dey here dey tap your tears.

You're just shortchanging yourself in vain!

While you think its prudent for subsidy to go, the president is approving 70 billion for NASS,
114% salary increase, their convoys remains unchanged.

Democracy is not good for docile citizens!

nairalanda1:
It was N537 at the local NNPC station yesterday, should be hitting the new price now.

Yes, it is tough. Yes, as someone who supports subsidy removal, I wish it was not so. I wish we had to keep the subsidy, and even buy fuel at N120...OR LESS.

But right now, we don't have freedom of choice...and it is so messed up.

And yes, I am pissed we have had bad governments since 1999, I am not a fan of this government, I wish we voted out APC, PDP, LP, NNPP, and company and brought in new people....

But we cannot keep on doing the same thing and expect the same result.

If the SC rule if favour of Amoda, there will be anarchy. If the PEPT nullifies Amoda's victory,
the celebration that would follow will overwhelm the SC such that they'll not be able to rule otherwise else the anarchy that would ensue would consume them first

helinues:
The oppositions petition lack substance. None of them have came out with their own figure from their party tallying center, where they got the 25% of 24 states and how they arrived at their figure.

All what we have been seeing at the PEPT is goal shifting. Imagine a candidate who was short of nothing less than 40,000 polling agents yet claiming he was rigged. How would he proof he was truly rigged when there are no agents in such polling stations to be the witness.

The status quo before the election still remain same.

We lead, they follow behind

You can travel to your home country with an expired passport. You don't need visa as well.

Mentioning Obi fo0lishly

IconicR:
Fixing your loyalists in strategic positions is the wisest thing to do in Nigeria politics. Asiwaju is doing the right thing, he's not like Obi who had a renowned Asiwaju boy Pat Utomi in his inner caucus 😂😂😂😂😂. Obi is still a boy in Nigeria politics, I no dy Stan nonsense.

The stick you see cannot blind you. A word is enough for the wise!

Farthing02:
I’m on the verge of proposing marriage to my girlfriend whom have been dating for 2years now, but the issue is the frequent quarrels we do have over everything.

She disrespects me a lot and this sometimes lead physical confrontations .

This is making me contemplate to secretly call her dad to inquire why he’s separated from my girlfriend's mother, because she was raised by her mother alone alongside two other sisters and the man is happily remarried with other grown up kids.

I really would love to inquire why he left her because they are really bitter against him due to the fact that he neglected them according to what the mother once told me.

Same was said for Cesar until he was killed. Same was said for Achilles until he was killed.

Nobody is indispensable!

SwissMass:
No man born out of woman can unseat Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu Jagaban the Eze-Chukwu of Igbo land

Tinubu would be the first fraudsident to be removed.

seunmsg:
Uncle Akin and his other delusional LP members had over 3 months to prepare their case and 3 solid weeks to present their evidence before the court. Sadly, they woefully to show to the court and indeed the entire world how they won the election. Peter Obi went on National TV to claim that he has evidence showing he won the election and would present it to the court. When it mattered most, he turned around and accused INEC of not giving him the evidence he needed to prove his case. When his attempt to blackmail INEC failed, he concentrated his case on getting Tinubu disqualified.

Whatever the case is, it is too late for Uncle Akin to cry. Peter Obi’s case is closed already and Wole Olanipekun has shredded whatever is left of the petition in his final written address to the court. Bola Tinubu will remain president of Nigeria till 2027 at the first instance.

Tinubu will not spend 6 months

waynetee:
Tinubu will spend 8 years, you this 5% people better get used to it .

Sounding so lost!

ImoleNaija:
Why must a candidate get 25% in FCT, when it is not his hometown?

Leaving one at the mercy of FCT voters only

You could, as well, declare the elections held in the 36 states null and void.

Each Presidential vote in FCT should worth nothing less than a #1m then, since the voters there are First-Class citizens.

Rubbish!

They are actually including the police and military. Unless you're blind!

MS247:




Idiot

Acting like a bitchh

INEC was discredited and insulted by this fools... All Corpers who served as AdHoc staffs, ASUU Professors Police, electoral umpires from all States and ethnic group were called cheaters alongside Mahmood




.

You think the 'sweet words' of a lawyer is superior to clear evidence?

seunmsg:
Took me about 2 hours to finish reading the submission and I’m glad I did. All the allegations were thoroughly trashed from all angles. Wole Olanipekun is a bad ass lawyer.

You know that what goes around comes around. If you ever find yourself in police trouble and they hold you indefinitely without charging you then you'd know that lawlessness does not help any society.

Rayban25:
to hell with federal high court.he should remain in dss custody and grow beards very well. Let him know what it feels like for the common man to be oppressed

Tinubu will leave office this year! Bookmark this post!

Mayfeld:
Times are hard but it's okay as long as its your brother that is making it hard.

The mentality of an average agbado supporter.

This is how Nigeria entered one chance for 8 years under Buhari. Because the people who were supposed to reprimand him were shielding him because he's their brother. Now see us today, another 8 years is about to go down the drain. A child that was born in 2015 when APC took over will be 16 when Tinubu leaves office, what will his future look like when bad policies must have hindered his parents from bringing him up properly? Countless lives wasted just so you can brag on the internet about your tribe being in power, when in reality you can't afford basic necessities due to nail-biting hardship brought upon you by that your so-called brother!

You yourself know say na lie

Bigger advantage to the rest of the south. I can hear your language, you can't hear mine

LegendHero:
I kinda like this.

We must make sure Yoruba become the second official language in the South as a whole.

Ever since I watched the Netflix documentary “Bigger than Africa”, I just suddenly got this extreme proudness in me for being a Yoruba man.

Afro beat language is already Yoruba, why can’t the whole Southern Nigeria adopt Yoruba as the second official language?

He won't be president for long because he never won and the court will remove him

FacilitatorLekk:
Figment of obidients imagination.

Anyone can say they won, but we know who the President is.

He won hands down!

tevinsolt:
But your candidate didn't win Charley grandpa. A free and fair election doesn't expressly equate to your candidate's victory neither does a badly run election mean that your candidate's loss is a result of rigging or that the unruly actions of over zealous political miscreants considerably affected the overall outcome of the election.

It appears to be that there are more dissenting and discontented voices only because the combined Majority of voters didn't vote for Tinubu, but he still had enough to beat his two major contenders with a comfortable margin to win the race. It is a number's game baby.

Lame

LegendHero:
Lol, na people wey no be from Anambra wey believe say Obi no be ethnic bigot I pity.

Man is even discriminating against his fellow Igbos. His matter even worse.

Renewed hopelessness!

It will change people's perception of the act. If we normalise it, people continue to engage in jungle justice. Remember, a lot of people visit this forum. We ought to condemn something like this with the strongest of terms
