Ivimmanuel:
what nonsense are you saying? How many Nigerians are on government payroll? How many cars use CNG and how many Nigerians can afford 700k above to convert their vehicles to CNG even if they do how many CNG stations do we have? Some states have none. A reasonable government would ensured CNG conversion and gastation distribution is significantly achieved to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal.

So if I'm using fuel for only what I need it for 1200 is not too expensive when most Nigerians earn below 100k and still have other expenses to take care of. Some of you are not normal because because if you don't see anything wrong with the state of things I don't know how to describe you.

While it’s true that the government aims to regulate and intervene only when necessary, the reality is that petrol pricing impacts everyone, especially the most vulnerable. A “willing buyer, willing seller” approach may work in theory, but without oversight, it can lead to price gouging and instability in essential services. Competition among independent marketers and refineries is important, but it needs to be balanced with consumer protection measures. The government’s role should include ensuring that no one is unfairly exploited and that essential goods remain accessible to all citizens, especially during crises.

Ekejoestar:
Now, you are talking. All he needs is to provide proof of consent from the owners of the said accounts and he is a free man

Coolsperm:
Even ordinary MC Oluomo who is a well known thugt can never try this

malali:
Petrol is too essential to leave entirely uncontrolled. Even in the US, UK, and Canada, the government plays a role in regulating fuel prices. In the USA, the government maintains strategic reserves to release when prices spike, helping stabilize the market. Allowing full deregulation without oversight would risk exploitation and inflation, especially in vital sectors like transportation. Fuel is not just another product; it’s a lifeline for the economy and daily life, so government intervention is necessary to protect consumers and ensure fair pricing.

yuzjet:
Organized private sector should try and embrace same. Chai!

CodeTemplarr:
Most LGAs, once a month to pick their pay.

chigator2:
They've truly taken this sit-at-home to a whole new level, and to think you all viewed the Southeast as the rebellious ones! 😂😂

BreconHills what’s your take on this monumental 'achievement' from your Tinubu? It’s time we learned to be objective and own up to our biases. Step off the high horse and admit that you supported, or even voted for, an undeniable flop, instead of desperately trying to extract brilliance from sheer incompetence.

malali:
The government’s stance on the fuel pricing controversy between Dangote Refinery and NNPCL is astonishingly tone-deaf. By refusing to intervene and leaving Nigerians at the mercy of market forces, the administration shows a dangerous level of detachment from the hardships faced by the average Nigerian. President Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, claims that because the market is deregulated, the government cannot interfere, effectively absolving the administration of responsibility.

This position is a betrayal of the public trust. If Nigerians are left to “negotiate” with billionaire businesses like Dangote and a monopolistic NNPCL, why did we even bother voting for this government? The presidency is acting as though the “buck doesn’t stop” at their desk, leaving citizens to suffer exorbitant fuel prices that affect every aspect of life—from transportation to food costs.

In tough economic times, leadership should step in to protect the people, not stand by idly while private entities dictate essential commodity prices. It’s clear that this administration has become detached from the daily struggles of the masses, showing no intent to use its influence to cushion the blows of economic hardship.

Ekejoestar:
Lol, this matter get as e be, if there's a law against having sensitive information of other people on your person, then let the law take its course
.
Since I believe no crime had yet been committed.

naijaboy756:
A confused government

Why not leave salaries and figures low

Person wey see 77k will think that there is an increase in purchasing power.

A bag of rice is now above 90k

Why not leave prices, salaries and figures low?

Focusmind:
A commendable gesture.

But my 7500 earned in 2004 as a corper was of more value than the 77k of 2024.

chicoMX:


Mudu of beans was 600-700 last year, it is now 3700-4000 this year. What about fuel? Rice? Garri? Crate of egg?

Omo 33k last year is far better that this 77k.

Offpoint1:
Still can't buy a bag of rice

Ivimmanuel:
Naira keeps depreciating every day, very soon petrol will hit 2k a litre will this ease the suffering. We don't need this peanut and palliatives, make petrol affordable let the price of foodstuffs come down so people can afford to feed

ibechris:
I wonder the kind of prayer that would be said by that reverend?

Mordson:
The man has made a lot of money from people dying.

Such business can never thrive in the north where funeral is never associated with pomp, pageantry and merriment. It's only people from the south, especially my fellow kinsmen that see funeral as an occasion to showcase wealth.

seunpas:
And Pastor dey anoint the place
Is he praying for people to die? Because that's the only way the young billionaire can prosper.

RollinTNDA:
E be like say to open Coffin or Mortuary business sure pass for this Tinubu economy

pyyxxaro:
As people de die , the CEO go de celebrate 🤦🏾‍♂️

Beremx:
In 2014, the very first time I entered flight from Lagos to Abuja, I paid 12k. I can't remember the airline I used because it was a new company doing promo.
In 2024, it's now over 200k.
How much will it be in 2034?

God have mercy!!

Saskay44:
If Lagos to Abuja are struggling to get passengers,why are some governors still building airport

Why is it not working then? Or is it working in your own opinion? You men that N1.5Tr came from the lower class of the society ans has stemmed the tide of inflation thats steadily increasing? You are wonderfully brainwashed beyond what verifiable results can concvince otherwise.

EmekaBlue:

EmekaBlue:
From d way u sound it's good to see your acceptance of total failure. If LP had been given their rightful win should be left like that because no one will let u know d master plan from the economic business brainbox who would have led the country better

Brendaniel:
Sometimes I wonder if you guys actually ignore bad news in Nigeria or just simply forget so easily ...

If it was only Boko haram it would have been a different thing, but we are talking about various terror groups, below are various news of terror incidents from only the north and only in September 2024 and these are the reported ones, all the topics here are from Nairaland frontpage dating back to sept 1 2024, we are not even talking about other parts of Nigeria only the north and September hasn't even finshed.

I think you people need to start asking yourselves if you are really normal....
