Naustine:
If you need to study a particular course or even a university certificate to understand subsidy then whoever it was that sponsored your education should have channeled the funds to catfish farming

Another pedestrian view of a complex subject. No wonder many of you are calling for subsidy to be returned. After all, it is just subsidy.

It is so simple Okonjo Iweala's mother was kidnapped over this issue and she received death threats from subsidy cartels.
If you support subsidy you are supporting these enemies of Nigeria.

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

seunmsg:
Beyond the usual noisemaking, insults and curse words, lets discuss the approach of the two leaders. The two countries are facing the same problem of increasing energy cost as a result of factors beyond their control. One has offered to provide google map location of petrol stations with their prices to British citizens so that they can at least be able to know the pump station that offers the cheapest prices while the other has agreed with the NNPC to a 30-day price modulation that will stop price increment even when prices go above the landing cost. In addition, NNPC has also agreed to waive adding any profit element to the pricing template for now all in an attempt to bring relief to the people.

S, how is the British PM the good guy here and the Nigeria President the Pharaoh without human face? Make it make sense please.

You really expect them to understand and appreciate this? To them Tinubu is responsible for rising gas prices.

Racoon:
Tinubu is a ruthless elite capitalist and that is the kind of politics he plays. This is how wicked rulers roll. The inflict so much pain and hardship. Then give the victims some respite which the claim are palliatives This is called Stockholm syndrome!

He is the most sensible president Nigeria has ever had. Anyone who can bring Nigeria back from total economic collapse is a hero.
Did he inflict pain on you when your oli was sold in advance to borrow money?
He inflicted pain on you when you were using Naira to buy Naira?
He inflicted pain on you when your electricity grid was broken for decades?
He inflicted pain on you when no meaningful involvement was made in agriculture, education and health for decades?
A beg you have no idea who inflicted pain on you.

They are running the same amateurish and senseless campaign they ran the last time.

You really can't underestimate the power of foolish people in great numbers. Perhaps other subsidies are good but this particular one will ruin Nigeria if we don't make a clean break.
Clean break like an addict trying to get off his addiction.
The only alternative to this madness is to subsidize only commercial vehicles and only for a short period of time and even that is extremely expensive and will quickly burn into our finances.

Neo liberal policies? Who are these people? Tinubu must not allow these greedy and visionless people to derail his reforms.
These are the same organizations that prevented the sale of our refineries to a consortium that could have turned them around. They are opportunists.

kcbaba007:
Oh..... sorry...

I see your pain, but, I don't feel it in any way...

Hope it doesn't kill you.... or rather, may it kill you

Same way I don't feel the hunger and the malnutrition that is making you reason the way you do.

SmartPolician:
Peter Obi is a highly reverend senior citizen who has risen to the level of a governor before. If he wants to visit any institution in Nigeria, nobody can stop him. If not for Nairaland ban, my response wouldn't have been nice.

Highly reverend ko, Highly catechist ni.

givedemwotowoto:
That was figurative language. School no be scam.

Crap, as simple as that. And this is what folks like you do every time you are caught in a lie.

saintkel:
u guys r so unpatriotic and intensively corrupt....u stole Obi idea n refuse to give him credit n now u want to turn it to Tinubu?....Tinubu that has no say in d happenings in nigeria?....how can u have a president who left Nigeria on d 30th of August to only come back after how long?...u guys r pathetic n wicked

What exactly is Obi's idea? Consumption to production while his businesses are based on the importation of junks to Nigeria. Importation of Wine, ketchup, beer etc. from the fake proponent of production.
No one is fooled.

The commander in Chief Of The Armed forces of Nigeria " no know where Air force headquarters dey?
This type of obvious lies is why Obi and his followers are not taken seriously.
By the way, there should be a law preventing unelected people to use the Armed Forces as props for their political ambitions.
You went with cameras to pay a condolence visit for which you were not invited only to post the pictures online?
The armed forces should be off limits as props for politicians.

Benjaniblinks:
Believe anything from the media at your peril

Where then do you get your news from? Spirits?

Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon can no longer hear the falconer..............

Someone's eyes don dey open small small.

owobokiri:
Which beneficial "corporations"? The type that led to Boko Haram and ISWAp? Special corporations that led to the impositions of political nitwits like Buhari and Tinubu by Obama and Cameron on us since 2015!?
Ahbegi

Where did you see " corporations" in what I wrote?

owobokiri:
Unfortunately, there is no single example of a success story that can be attributed to the humane foreign policy of US in "Sub-saharan" Africa. Is there any?
If there is any good example, point the country out..
We are waiting..

Humane? Are embassies only for humanitarian purposes? What about cooperation in education, health, trade, security etc?

mikeapollo:
Lies!
And who says that remittances in a particular year are all from revenues generated in that year?
Remittances in a year may be from revenues generated in prior years!

Meaning you are a better accountant than the Federal Ministry Of Finance?

TenQ:
How President Bola Tinubu pulled this off needs to be studied


Easy!
By making ordinary Nigerians pay for it with increased poverty!

You are absolutely right. Now, say something sensible.

MamaFryo:
These professors won't just stop disgracing this country everywhere...no wonder young boys have resorted to pressing rather than going to school. These mentally retarded politicians have not realized that people have grown in knowledge and everything?

Wetin I even know sef? I'm just an ordinary Nigerian Policewoman.

You are completely right. But can you explain why NNPC sent more money to this administration than all the other administrations since 1999?

owobokiri:
Low and Behold, A consulate building that is being set up by The US for greater imperialism is about to be brandished by the followers Amoda Chagoury as evidence of "foreign investments" in the Nigerian economy!
Wonderful

Incidentally Nigeria is the only country hosting a US embassy and for this reason this building is going to be dedicated to greater imperialism.
Can't we chill a little bit and not find negativity in everything?

Dogalmighty17:
Liar! Tinubu did not build that plant. The Chinese did.

But if another company decides to scale down its operations in Nigeria the blame will directly go to the president.

FitCorper:
All blame goes to Dangote for this cruel milestone, always quick to increase gantry price but extremely slow to reduce when prices of crude drop. Tinubu is wicked for aiding this devil in human form. Islam-man-bad.

There's a big world out there besides Nigeria. Dangote didn't cause the rise in fuel prices. There are crises in several oil producing countries in the world and this directly affects the prices in Nigeria.

Racoon:
Same world bank that asked the druggie to devalue the naira and remove all the subsidies that can benefit the poor masses?

These economic slavery organization will goad poor third world countries to accept noose tightening economic policies then turn around to blame you when the ripple effects backfires.

Blame the wicked myopic African leaders who are always going cap-in-hand to these imperialist Brentwoods institutions. P

You would cite the same world bank if the report was negative.
The koko is that the economy is in recovery, inflation is coming down and the country is poised for growth.

anonimi:
Why are you failing to focus on what Atiku raised in his October 1 speech that has to do with the future of our children? The same policy alternative Atiku has offered repeatedly.

Are you capable of doing that without resorting to the balablu bulaba emptiness of A-looter Propaganda Conmen. APC town hall talk?

"Bola Tinubu should not be ashamed to do what is necessary to lower the price of petrol simply because Atiku Abubakar proposed a government intervention. He should just take the idea, rename it if he wishes, and even take the credit. What matters to me is that Nigerians pay less"… pic.twitter.com/IALgTQk1Hx

"Nigerians does not need another palliative economy" that is the only thing he said that makes sense.
His own proposal is going to create exactly that.

gabicon:
This is the reason why they can't win: concentrating on the minor. Tinubu is already doing door to door, you are attacking his person. Amoda or Bola is not the issue; hit the streets and get people on your side. Tinubu is not playing; get serious with your strategy.

I truly don't understand them. Their future and the future of their children has nothing to do with what they call Tinubu yet that is what they focus on, especially the Obidients.

SeeWahala:
But you APC stooges always call Peter Obi names from onanuga all the way to akpabia

That is justifiable given the relentless insults, threats, misinformation and slander coming out of the Obidient camp.
Even ordinary people who are not politicians are not left out their vicious attacks.

shegztech:
I don't want to believe a human being typed this. There are people working tirelessly while others are sabotaging it. Corruption is too much. They must be paid in full cos they've been paid. They should sack people's parents depending on it to feed their families? Na wa o. No sympathy at all.

Who is sabotaging it and why is the sabotage allowed to continue. Consider these refineries as a couples of tiny holes out of thousands through which our resources are being wasted in Nigeria.
There are several non productive ventures like that, Ajaokuta steel co.is another one.

Dogalmighty17:
Refinery can't produce a litre of fuel and yet workers are being paid? That refinery hasn't worked in over 25 years and yet workers are being paid? For doing what exactly?

Government should sack all of them and ask the Nigerian Airforce to bomb the refinery to pieces. What nonsense is this?

That is the tragedy of state owned enterprises. It can go on forever without a drop of refined oil coming out from there.
Imagine if it was running on bank loans.

Being disrespectful and abusive is not part of campaign. It brings nothing but debasement to the electoral system and the society.
Looks like the Atiku camp is borrowing the failed strategy of the Obidient crowd.

This is what you should have said all along instead of trying to prop up Obi with lies and propaganda.
Yep, Umahi or Soludo after Tinubu.

The usual suspects will soon be here to tell us the bank has become the headquarters of agbado.
Everyone there is now walking around with bagful of agbado.

T9ksy:
Zik may not necessarily be the brain behind the 1966, January coup but he certainly had foreknowledge of the coup and so too, did Ojukwu and the members of the Igbo national Caucus.

He absolutely knew about it and ran away. Imagine the commonwealth heads of government summit was scheduled to hold in Nigeria between January 12 and 15 yet our president didn't come back. He probably had a radio pressed to his ear in some hotel room waiting for the big news.
