Bassee:
It's attitude. Times are harder for majority of Nigerians, cost of most goods and services will increase in days. Since more money would now be available to the FG, I thought I'd hear of plans to increase the minimum wage of the Nigerian worker cause their purchasing power has now been reduced by this increase. You can't just tell the people to endure the pain if you can actually do something to lighten their yoke.
But Labour is already negotiating with the govt for increase in workers wage.

Let's hear what the govt plans to do to ease the burden but removal of subsidy is the way to go.

juman:
They have got nothing right since they came on board.

Esseite:
The op has a good source of income and can afford to cut cost.... now imagine those managing from the very start and cutting down is death?...

juman:
But this present government is unserious one.

LadyExcellency:
Tell me more, 7 months into his inauguration?

You are wrong, nobody questioned or came up with Jonathan's integrity after 7 months into his administration until your fake, sponsored and bigoted anti-deregulation protest.

His approval rating was at all time high of 70+ on December, 2011

DesChyko:
The plain reality is that Jonathan was right. Unfurling layers after layers of semantics doesn't coat your double-standards.

Meanwhile, in one breath, you ridicule him for not saving during the days of boom. In another breath, you post this:

Make up your mind

LadyExcellency:
The only write-up worthy of appreciation or/and reading now should be: Jonathan was right on subsidy removal.

Tell us the flaws of Ojota's sponsored bring-back our subsidy protest.

Condemn every opposition and demonization of Jonathan's administration on Subsidy removal January, 2012.

Blast every anti-deregulation cabal and opposition to Jonathan administration second push to total deregulation when he re-echoed it six months after the previous was defeated.

Do you know that the two challenges that escalated looting in Jonathan's administration was imposed on him? I mean fuel subsidy and Bokoharam. Both anti-deregulation and Bokoharam were sponsored to bring down Jonathan's administration and there they succeeded.

Let's for once appreciate some of the great policies of past administration.

Kwankwaso,Sule Lamido and myself.

OgbonnaUbani:
About the Chibok girls parents. What a shame.

EliteQueen:
U guys should not blame buhari, blame the Illiteracy in him. He never understood the actual meaning of subsidy, the only thing he understood was I will fight kwuruption.

AreaFada2:
Wrong. Ghana implemented subsidy removal roughly same time. They were not making less money from gold.

You implement policies from a position of strength. Knowing the difficulty of fighting fuel subsidy scam, it was best to removed it already, take from our income and add to money saved to repair refineries.

GEJ jailing Otedola and others in the scam would have only caused uproar from SW and North (most subsidy scammers were from there) of "GEJ is a militant who wants to punish SW/The North."

You don't start running around like a headless chicken when things are already hard, you save however you can in good times.

TANTUMERGO007:
so many people would go jobless, even if they pay they would cut many jobs to meet up




boooohari is indeed a daft full

ndcide:
Why do you think this is the right time and not before now.

In 2012 we were given the breakdown of how the price was about N140.. What is the breakdown down that gave us N145.. Especially since crude oil is not priced low.

With this, don't you think Nigerians will be paying more than other countries comparatively?

One of the media big men here in Lagos just told us that he was wrong to have opposed the deregulation in 2012. Do you think we all were wrong or we should insist, for political sentiments, that 2012 was not a good time to deregulate, giving that the government have been advocating deregulation even when obj was president?

Besides, the popular cliche, corruption, have been one major reason to deregulate even before, 2012, in 2012 and now too.

Do you think we allowed corruption in that sector to remain by our insistence in 2012?.. I think we did because the subsidy corruption remained even with this government.

omenka:
Good!!

Another arrow right through the dark hearts of the Zoofrarians.

Let them initiate another round of whining on the forum and beyond, type insults directed at Omenka until their thumbs get sore, curse others who dare to take a different position from theirs, and wipe each other's assess clean with their tongues- NOTHING will happen.

If you don't like my comment- go fvck yourself.

If you don't like the President, go fvck yourself.

If you don't like Nigeria, go fvck a gargoyle.

If you don't like Nairaland, go fvck another gargoyle.

If you are too poor and miserable, and think insulting everyone else but your parents would fix your poverty, go get a rope and a chair and do the needful- save the world some oxygen.

If you are an iDaft yoot, screw you with knobs on.

Thank you.

but you cant ride bicycle from lagos to ibadan. You get tired before the half journey.but you cant ride bicycle from lagos to ibadan. You get tired before the half journey.

Knighttemplar:
Since Buhari and F.G have decided to turn nigerians into modern day ghengis khan warriors.
This should be the wisest mode of transport

*Doesnt need fuel
*Doesnt need mechanical part
*Easy to learn
*Fun to ride
***Less expensive to maintain just feed it, brush it and take good care of it like your child, babe(GF), boo(BF), wife, husband, and anything you have ever loved most because it needs it and you good to go.

Flets:
Life shouldn't be this hard. Nigeria cant be at loss on all sides.

Its time to get rid of Buhari somehow.

TippyTop:
Explosion rocking Maiduguri today, militants blowing up all "blowables", Shiites waiting to pounce, IPOB may as well put the final nail on the country formerly known as Nigeria.

"I admit that there are a few cases where apparently stringent rules have been applied as a result of threats to national security and the likelihood that certain persons may escape from the country or seek to undermine the stability of Nigeria". - PMB

BarryX:
Stood a chance when?
Which year was that? And who rigged his election and please make the records open?

Nigerians are the most forgetful people in the universe.

Kingspin:
If you think Buhari is the only person qualify out of 170million Nigerians then we have more reasons to worry.

wordychap:
Talking as if buhari is doing well presently
In 2019 he'll be defeated if he allows a free n fair election

BarryX:
As at 2012 do you think Buhari stand a chance of winning the presidency?

Just relax events will play themselves out

LaExpert:
1. Your initial post was a response to someone that rightly pointed to the fact that the Govt has not increased the minimum wage, not necessarily insinuating that most parents earn 18K...of which I asked what happens to the ones that earn 18K...and you pointed it out that those who earn that sum are messengers, drivers, cleaners etc.

Do you mean those ones don't have kids?
Or are their kids undeserving of University education if they want it?


2. Everyone that wants university education deserves to get it. If my father works as a driver in a government establishment and earns 18K, how do you expect the family to cope?

Must the poor ditch formal education because it is expensive? Are they not Nigerians?


Look beyond your own condition and interest and see from others' perspective. Many Nigerians live in poverty, Unemployment rate is high! These are REAL issues.

LaExpert:
The 18K isn't the real issue.
How many people have the government provided good jobs for? Do you know the unemployment rate in the country?

In reality, a very large percentage of Nigerians live in poverty.

The government won't be helping matters by increasing the cost of the most important development tool.

I'm totally disappointed at the bold!
If you deserve university education, then everyone else deserve it; even the poor...you're not so special.
