Betrayal of the highest order. Tinubu presidency lacks sympathy and empathy for the masses. We are obligated to tighten our belts while he's unnecessarily increasing costs of governance. A leader without empathy can't be said to be a good leader regardless of his acclaimed capacity and capability.

Honestly @bold
No empathy at all
Not even giving Nigerians any breathing space

F117nighthawk:
Mumu NLC, instead of u to fight for a proper living wage,u go settle for 70k as minimum wage,I was expecting nothing less that 100k at least as living wage,now TINUBU Don show Una say he wise pass NLC.
abeg make una go lick una wounds

You can't blame NLC here
Cause of economy hardship is increase in price of fuel, not really minimum wage. Nobody will complain about minimum wage if fuel was selling for #190 this govt met it.
Even if they increase minimum wage to 100k, tinubu will increase fuel price to #1500, what difference does it make??

ayolayo0405:
At what price.......

I'm surprised up till this moment we are yet to get this price. It is obviously not a favourable one.

Segzy19:
Surely another protest will burst out soon
It's just too sure....

No one can sustain buying fuel at #855....
People will park their vehicles at home
More trekkers on the street
More people will take to public transport
More overloading by drivers

Businesses that use power generator will surely suffer, and many will park up

Another protest bursts out soon, and this one will be so bloody.... Even the security forces will join...

If NNPC is currently selling for #855, definitely most filling stations will be selling for above 1k.

Lanruze:
I see PBAT as an OTP. ( One term President).
.

Without rigging Tinubu can never win a second term.

The Minimum wage reform will be swallowed by fuel cost.

Indeed PBATs albatross was subsidy removal.

The bold is what they are trying to do.
APC mode of increasing fuel price is through scarcity, they never come out to announce it openly like PDP govt. They make it scarce & increase the price. The most unbelievable thing about this govt is that not for once has anything been stable for just a single month since they assumed power. Prices are always on the increase.

This increase in fuel price has made owning a car to become more of a burden than necessity. Even when u don't drive your car, u will still be spending on it to maintain & service it. In my compound, these days everyone's car is always parked at home. People go to work with public transport. How drivers are able to make profit with this current price of fuel still baffles me.

faceland:
Now petrol stations would read this and increase prices.

No need to go to work because we are now slaves to the oil companies giving them over 80% of our income.

Exactly!

Judolisco:
I bought at 950 yesterday.... Nigerians are very patient and can adjust to anything.... It's not good.... I don't know whether to call it patience or stupidity....

Honestly @bold
It is not patient but fear, fela already said this years ago. These politicians have succeeded in sowing hatred among Nigerians through tribalism & religion, now they can do whatever they like without accountability & impunity because they will always have sycophants defending their unjustifiable way of leadership. Who would have thought fuel will sell for 1k this quick as at 2 years ago?

D0nt be broke because you are building a home

So.my advice to you is to not use your first money to build a house in the village. If you must do so, learn how to build according to your earnings, like the example I posted.

Only very few will understand how powerful this post is!

to bleach cow leg and make it white . Sniper/ddvp is used to preserve beans, crayfish and smoked fish. Growing up beans used to have lots of weevils. But today its rare ( na sniper work be that o)

No wonder at bold, these days beans will spend long time in my house & I won't see weevils. I was wondering what is happening, now I understand. Before now beans won't stay long & u will see weevils all over it.

joseph1832:
Hmm I now believe the way most Nigerian president handle this country, is the way many Nigerians handle their homes, which is, they live above their means. Borrowing and lending is their way of life, they live from hand to mouth.

You have said it all.
Living beyond our means is what has brought Nigeria to this level. You need to compare the life style of our leaders borrowing all these funds to that of the whites they are borrowing from. You will never believe our leaders are the ones borrowing. They live lavishly, but keep on telling the poor masses to endure. Quite unfortunate.

Jostoman:
This is the strategy that APC government normally use to increase fuel price but people don't know.

Exactly!
Now after the scarcity, the prices are never coming down. Gradually fuel will get to 3k per liter. I remember when subsidy was removed, it was around 549 naira. But today it is 950.

TrennixGLOBAL:
I understand what he is talking about & I'm not being emotional but u know some of those terms he used are wrong. There are more better words or examples to make use of.

This is Africa so you speak like an african & when in Europe, u speak like a European.

Either ways, it's all good.

This is Africa indeed, that is why u guys keep risking yours lives through the Mediterranean sea to get to Europe! You people are never logical! Stop bringing sentiments into everything. There is nothing wrong in what he said! The nuisance of a guy called governmentagent is the face of ponzi himself. A govt that is yet to deliver on one single promise, yet we have someone representing such a thing coming here to constitute nuisance all the time. Fuel is now selling for N950, was that what they promised us? What ponzi can be bigger than that?? Saying a mother giving birth to a child is ponzi was from a broader view, because in life nothing is certain. Everything that is uncertain have a trace of ponzi in it. Stop getting emotional!

muhamm3d:
See ehnnn you people doing this crypto thing dey try pls. No jokes you deserve a special award for strength and duggedness. I put 2166 dolls for ETH, SOL and MNT. It went up to $2,177 in 5 hours. Shebi stupid me was supposed to sell and just forget it all. In my very eyes it went back to $2,022 in under 24 hours. 3 days I never well, I was running temperature and my body was hot. This morning I decided to sell it all for 2,102. See the loss now, but I will die if i lose all my money down to $500. Crypto can kill ooo!!! Two hands up for you chairmen!!!

The problem was not cryppto, but u that decided to invest in something u have zero knowledge about. People learn trade for years before they invest their funds in business, people spend 6 years in universities, still yet after graduation they have no job, but most of u just want to jump into cryppto today with 1m & make 10m the next day, it doesn't work that way. One of the basic requirement to succeed in any business is patience. A lot of u people coming into cryppto lack patience & knowledge!

Enough of the mock to Christianity
No be by force to buy
Na where man Dey work him dey chop

Oga shut up please!
The things of God are not for sale!
Go read Matthew 21:12-13, when Jesus threw people out of the temple for buying & selling!

Why did colonial masters impose drugs on our youths?

Everything is always colonial master?
Are we dogs? Didn't God give us brain to think? Were they the ones that imposed fufu on us too? We only choosed what we wanted!

Goodnewsforlife:
just leave d Igbos

There's is protest in Kenya, Bangladesh, UK n co n Igbos want us to believe tinubu is d problem even when d world is experiencing it

I can't just imagine how hatred have block some people head from thinking

What do u mean by the world is experiencing it?? All these countries u mentioned have bad leaders reason for protests, except for UK. UK protest is not caused by bad leadership. It is not a world thing pls, but countries with bad leadership!

Kukutente23:
Tinubu has failed
If he knows what's good, he better reduce fuel price as soon as possible
That's the only way to end this carnage if not his govt will be battling unrest in the North for the next four years
He should ask Jonathan

This is true
Once violence starts in the north, it is always hard to end. He should reduce fuel price even if it is for sometime to quell the situation. Some persons were killed in some part of Abuja yesterday because of this protest. The thing is brewing gradually. He had the opportunity to end this on Sunday by reducing fuel price, but he didn't. People are losing lives already. I think this is where Jonathan was different.

Justrite007:
I do not know maybe I should sell my btc now I am confuse or I should leave it the thing just Dey drop

Do not sell your btcee!
Except u are in urgent need of cash

This inflation is killing abeg!
No price control at all

Lance008:
Rip to anybody mak go die for the 10days protest for the betterment of all of us

What u don't know about protest is u can only know the starting date, but how it will end will depend on how the govt respond & handle the situation. If govt don't handled this well by bringing down fuel price drastically, I don't see this ending soon. They are still fighting in Kenya.

.

Govt should reduce fuel price to 200 naira for Christ sake! The fuel increment is causing a lot of hardship. These govt people think they are untouchable, this was the same way gaddafi choose not to listen to the people until he was killed like a chicken.

Govt should pls bring back fuel subsidy!
That is the only thing we benefit from them

nairalanda1:
If you want queues and scarcity to end, let the marketers charge petrol at market price

Simple and short

Yes, it means fuel would cost N1800 per liter by now, and nigbati, tinubu and buhari are evil people, etc, .....but other countries around us pay just as high, and in the case of some of them like Ghana and Niger produce crude oil

Ghana has economic crisis

yet fuel costs N1600 per liter there

And they HAVE NO QUEUES

And they got two working REFINERIES AND CRUDE production.

Same for NIger.

Same old nonsense!
Tinubu told us there is no more subsidy, what market cost are u still talking about??
When marketers start selling at 1800, price will get to 2800 within 6 months? Fuel was 500 when tinubu removed subsidy, how much is fuel now in less than a year? When Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy it was this very same Tinubu that led the protest, so what nonsense are u saying now?? How many times will Tinubu remove subsidy in less than 1 year? Do u know it is the poor masses not working for govt that are bearing the brunt of these decisions?? Marketers charging petrol at market cost is never the solution & scam! The system is corrupt period!

There is no benefit to the average Nigerian!
Removal of fuel subsidy is the major cause of this economy mess we are facing today. The only way govt can reduce this hardship is to restore fuel subsidy or reduce fuel price which ever way they can. They have been telling the masses to exercise patience, subjecting people to extreme hardship, but they the leaders don't want to compromise at all. Fuel is now selling for 850/900 per liter & it is still going up? Reduce fuel price & see if things won't naturally come down!

GanagiBitrus:
Instead of focusing on the protest, why don't they focus on doing the needful to avert the protest.

I really believe restoring fuel subsidy is possible if Govt can deal with corrupt practices associated with the subsidy and also drastically cut down on cost of governance amongst others.

Don't mind them!
That's to tell u how evil minded our leaders are. They are never willing to compromise at all. At this point, I expect the president to restore fuel subsidy even if it is just for few months to cushion the hardship & avert this protest, but they will never do that, because it doesn't benefit them. Very selfish leaders.

Pepperdemisback:
I have been a victim once through a vendor. She asked me to write the number on paper, she mistook 5 for 8, saying a line crossed the 5 to make it look like 8. This one was an airtime purchase, I contacted the person, he didn't respond, so I left him. Errors happen at times when you are in a hurry.

Airtime purchase is different from bank transfer. I don't expect anyone to make mistake with bank transfer, because the name must tally before u confirm.

princepeter566:
He'll be quick to react but, to address the nation about the upcoming protest. He's no where to be found.
Why not try and reduce the price of fuel and see the protest die down??.
Like Deaf and dumb, he'll Not hear

I don't know why he does not want to do the bold. Even a child know high fuel price is responsible for all these economic chaos, reduction in fuel price will correct alot of things & reduce the hardship. Imagine buying fuel for 850 naira per liter & it is still going up. How long can Nigerians continue with this.

Wiifesnatcher:
Those former president that didn't remove subsidy he thought they're dumb, unfortunately things can't get back to where he met it, he can only savage it except some project will be suspended and fuel will be heavily subsidize to bring it to #300 while reduce import duty tax on food to control the inflation

He needs to do the bold, else his govt is going to be sth else. Before the end of 4 years fuel will be selling for around 3k, inflation is going to be extremely bad & I fear if people can cope. Those around him are not even advising him because of their selfish interest.
