EXACTLY



Finally, someone has the cojones to tell the truth.

I should point out that the Emir has been saying this for years (along with Okonjo Iweala, he backed GEJ in 2012 over subsidy removal).

The truth is, WE HAVE TO STOP PAYING SUBSIDES for power and electricity. Subsides have been going up because the number of Nigerians buying cars, generators, etc...is going up.

Subsides are also the reason why we cannot build new refienreis and attract investment in the downstream sector...as well as the power sector...because who is going to refine fuel at N165 (NNPC figures) and sell it below N150?? Who is going to come and invest in pwoer sector and be colecting bills at 30% the cost of power production??

Who is going to accept government that forces him or her to sell goods at a loss, and only pays you the difference between the government price and the price you bought the goods at?

And the cabals are being fuelled because quite simply...government polices force them to engage in sharp practices like smuggling fuel across the border to earn a profit...and make claims for products not improted.

Meanhwile, oil our major earner is at $80 and below. We need it at $140 per barrel to be able to run an economy WITHOUT BORROWING.

So, we have no choice. Subsidies must go. YES....we will be paying N300 and above for fuel (which by the way is what they pay in Niger, Cameroon, even Benin...and all these countries are as poor as we are...and Niger is even poorer...and they all produce oil). Yes, electricity bills will shoot up to N30000 and above per month for a one room apartment...but we haven't got any choice.

Our budget cannot sustain us.

So, let's face facts, YES....LET US FIGHT CORRUPTION AS WELL, LET APC STOP BEING PARTIAL....but the truth is SUBSIDY HAS TO GO...unless you got N20 TRILLION extra for Nigeria every year...somewhere.

In 2012....Nigerians foolishly rejected GEJ's good idea of removal of subsidy...partial yes...but better than not removing it. Thanks to that we missed out in investment...and in job creation, refinery building (yes...we could have had more refinereis built than just Dangote) and even sorting out the power problem.

Note...Any one quoting me to insult me, or curse me will be REPORTED TO THE MODS. You are free to disagree with me, but please be polite. Thank you

Nice points and suggestions you raised up there Sir.
Now I want to ask a question, how many Nigerians living in one room apartment today can comfortably pay 30k as electricity bill ALONE? Inf act some of the ones we referred to as middle class in the country can't pay that in a month for their 2/3 bedroom flat. The problem still remains those people we call leaders in Nigeria, just as you pointed out, I believe we have hundreds of so called Petroleum importers who receive millions of dollars monthly as subsidy when in actual fact they don't import even a litre of fuel.
Yes I fully support everything you wrote but the truth still remains that Nigerians will take to the streets if these measures are taken because they don't trust their leaders not to embezzle the money that will be saved from cutting subsidies.
SURE-P is dead and buried today.

My next trip is going to be with Blessed Edyson

Baba I served in Enugu, worst place to serve sef...na so so pure water I drink from January to October, every blessed day, I use pure water cook for dry season, their stream na die........would you send your child to a school where they change teachers every 10 10 months? Corpers should only be as assistant teachers but no they will be main teachers, in fact dem go give dem class teacher position. Rubbish

The last time I checked, Enugu consist of 17 Local government. What makes you think we served in the same place or PPA? I said I enjoyed my service in Enugu, I did not speak for you brother, I personalized it.

Charmingrascal:
To all those NYSC is a scam/waste of time crew
I have to tell u that you are wrong, just because u failed to see the opportunities in the scheme as Youth does not mean others will be like you


Your service year might be a waste to you if you were unable to do any productive thing or make any productive move.


To all Batch B and prospective corp members your mindset is important it is a determinant factor if you will be productive during ur NYSC, don't listen to NYSC is a scam crew if you listen to them you have already started failing

If they tell u NYSC is a scam tell them this; because u fail to see the opportunities in it does not mean I will be like u.

Many of the NYSC is a scam crew are still not productive even after the service year, now tell me is it NYSC that Is a scam or they themselves.

I am Corp member and I can tell you that I wish I had served earlier than this, I listened to the NYSC is waste of time crew and I decided not to validate my registration for two years after graduating from Uni. Right now I am enjoying my service year in Jos Plateau

God bless you and keep you safe in the remaining Months/weeks of your service and even beyond service.
Thank God I didn't even listen to the NYSC is a scam crew, I enjoyed my service year in Enugu. Many ignorant people don't even know that without NYSC, most schools won't be opened, especially those in rural areas.
NYSC was a blessing to me and am grateful I served Nigeria.

You can work as an accountant if you're trained in that line. I studied B&F also and currently working with an Audit firm.

This is a wonderful news.

I seriously fear this woman. The way people besiege that place for Amala is something else, not to talk of the calibre of people that goes there.

Resign and go where na? Please Mr deputy Sir, let Osho finish his tenure as the party Chairman.

On behalf of all Edo people, I dash Osho Baba to APC, he can remain there as long as he likes.
