The courts will release him, if not at the high court then at the appeal court, then he can sue the state government and make some cool cash, the governor is an idiot for that action.

Did Beaf not see the links, abi blindness don set in?

Papa

You are being deceitful, how many cars are on the roads at a time and how come it jumped up in 2011 and not the other years, abeg bone that thing jare, even when crude oil was far more than this, the subsidy was still stable.

You still dey here, did you read the statement released by Tinubu, have you changed your mind, by the way one of the links is not Nigerian and the one is Vanguard's link, of course you know our dear uncle who owns Vanguard is a staunch GEJ supporter.

@Uyi

Jonathan's Election, how do you think he bribed all the people he did.

Nigerian GDP is 320 billion dollars, divide by 365 multiply by the number of days that the strike has been going on

GEJ is on the side of his cabal, forget al those I no get shoes stuff jare.

I think you have quoted the wrong person.

Femi Falana is a better economist than Okonjo Iweala, who would have believed it. He advocates deregulating EFCC and the CBN, he raises a good point on the CBN changing dollars to naira and then selling dollars all over again, do we have economists in the house who can take us through this (Boyo has also mentioned something like this).

@Gbawe

Please put Economist in quotes, that guy is just a sycophant.

Where do they get this doofus from for jeez sake?

That is what should be done first, then we need transparency.

Falana na bad guy ooooooooooo, he has facts ooooooo

See that guy beside falana his voice is already shaking, he does not want to lose his license, money has turned people to something else. Abeg they should allow Falana to talk jare. Falana dey spit fire.

Falana is going to woz someone there o, the guy sitting next to him should be careful o.

O ga o, she is even sounding dumb now, she is looking for who to blame, there is no I in a team, all this passing of the buck will not work.

You be thief I no be thief
You be rogue I no be rogue

@netotse

Is the government still pumping money into Generation or they are deregulating it?

@Gbawe

We can only try, I have so much love for the East, met my wife there and one of my best friends is an Easterner, it is a pro bono service to help people like Nchara.

100,000 barrels of oil costs 10,500,000, ten point five million dollars, where did she go to school sef

@Nchara

Woke up to read and this is what I get, to your first set of answers oya find below.

1) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/fuel-subsidy-gulps-n1-3-trillion-in-2010/

2) http://business.whatitcosts.com/refine-oil.htm

3) Very funny, it is ACN running NNPC, Ministry of Petroleum and Armed Forces Abi, try another one.

4) So why do you blame ACN governors and others when they do not perform, afterall it is PDP's fault since they have ruled for far longer, if you work in a company as the MD and you are not able to perform in 1 year, will you blame your predecessor, abeg find something else to talk about.

On the ACN

1) As I have said, the ACN is far more than those people, they as individuals probably support the subsidy removal but as a party issued a statement that they are for the action, that is good enough for me.

2) Actually it was Igbos that claimed they were 40% of Lagosians that were reported to have voted for Goodluck, facts on ground showed that SW voted for Goodluck due to Tinubu's collabo with GEJ.

3) SW governors especially the ones taking over from PDP guys have met empty treasury, they need the money to develop their states, is that too difficult for you to grab? It all boils down to trust, something GEJ does not have from the masses, have you been to Yenagoa before? Alams outperformed GEJ in that place, imagine that.

4) On Fashola, people trust that he will do something with the money if given, but, they will not protest to Fashola because they know he is not the one that removed the subsidy, he can not do anything about the removal (even if he does not support it) and if eventually the subsidy holds he will do something with the money, now in order of preference, the masses will prefer that the subsidy removal be reversed and they are directing their anger at the appropriate authority. Fashola increased the cost of LASU fees and he has been feeling the heat, look at what PDP did with the Lekki toll gate issue.

@Negro and Akanbi

Let me humour him, I know Nchara is more into his PDP and Eastern stuff that he fails to see that these issues affect everybody, thank God that my Igbo friends feel differently.

@Nchara

We go continue tomorrow, I dey go sleep, make we prepare for tomorrow's protest.

@jmaine

1) ACN as a party is made up of far more people than the governors, do you remember what tore the AD apart?
2) On Fashola, I have told you that it is because the people trust him to use the money for development that is why they have not directed their anger at him, what is so difficult to believe.
On the fuel subsidy proper, without transparency, nobody will take the government seriously. Nchara I am waiting for you, I hope you saw my response to you.

Let me pick holes in your argument.

1) 2010/2011 with Jonathan in Charge.
2) Between $0.30 and $0.60 per gallon
3) Corruption is the short answer, Jonathan has been in power for 5 years (abi was he not part of Yar'Adua's government)
4) Abeg na Jonathan, he is the President now, he has had enough time to fix the refineries
5) The borders are insecure all over the country, you think it is only land border that we have, what of the seas, by the way, have you seen the borders in the west as well, as porous as anything?
6) Jonathan again.

Responses

1. ACN as a party is protesting, ACN governors are not, they need money for development.
2. The answer is actually between the North and SW
3. Not True. You do not need to be a member to vote ACN afterall PDP won presidential elections in the SW.
4. That is true, the governors need the money.
5. That is partially true, the ACN governors need the moneys to develop their states, that is in the interest of the masses protesting.
6. That is untrue, the position of ACN governors is clear, they want subsidy removal for development of their states, SW people know where the governors stand, the only reason that the protest has not been directed at Fashola and other SW governors is because there is still an element of trust, they trust the governors to do something with the money, the problem with GEJ is there is no trust.
You see, it is not too difficult to speak the truth.

My Questions

1) How come subsidy jumped from 400 billion Naira to 1.3 trillion Naira
2)How much does it cost to refine oil
3) Why are the refineries not working
4) Who should be held responsible for number 3.
5)Why can we not secure our borders.
6) Refer to question 4.

@jmaine

15 months, that is enough time after all he has been there for almost 2 years, as per ACN winning the 2015 elections (cant remember where I said it), they will need to form an alliance with the North for that to happen and to match PDP money for money, thug for thug, rigging for rigging.
@honeric

Abeg take am easy, if you get small money, I can organise inverter with two batteries for you, total cost is about #185K (if subsidy is reinstated #165K) .

@Manny

GEJ should be ashamed to take credit for a marginal increase in Generation, let him deliver 10000MW at a reasonable cost and we shall applaud him.

@jmaine

I believe you are a dreamer , he has no antecedents and is beholden to his "Cabal". We shall compare notes in say 12 months?

@Papabrowne

Who will build the roads, who will stop maternal mortality, who will utilize the subsidy money, are these not Nigerians, so why do you trust GEJ and his goons to do these and yet do not trust him to clean up the system. Nigeria can not and will never work until the government does the right thing (fight corruption and do the right things with all their might), if they like let them outsource everything to capitalist, the country will still not work, Nitel was privatised, where is it today?

@efisher

You do not get my drift, as long as fuel is sold at a higher price in neighboring countries, there will always be smuggling, the only difference is you and I will be paying for the cost of smuggling not the FG, I do not see how that is a good solution, the government needs to secure our borders.
