@ Gbawe thanks for an insightful post.  Not even Jesus could've persuaded NOI to change her mind, she was already committed to her agenda.

Rgp92:
I would have done the same. Rather an advice from a successful country like England, than an advice from a failed country like Nigeria. She's doing what an efficient leader should do.

I'm going to try and be polite though it's difficult with the illogical, fallacious arguments here.
For starters, I'm really sick of disproving claims of people that we were pro-deregulation - it has worn me out for 2 weeks telling people that despite the stance of our political class, the overwhelming majority of Igbos were opposed to subsidy removal.

People went about their usual commercial activities in the SE because there were no opportunistic hoodlums on the streets to loot and destroy their property and extort them like in the SW and North. Putting it simpler for the dim people, if I were a trader in Idumota or Balogun, my fear of hoodlums would make me abandon shop till the strike's over unlike in Onitsha or Nnewi where I could do business even if I opposed subsidy removal.

And questioning why we shouldn't buy fuel at well over the approved N97 is as daft as me questioning the SW and North for buying above N65 considering many of them said it was N65 or nothing!

Seriously, quit this propaganda which among some degenerate bufföons, has overshadowed far more important national issues like the insecurity in the North and quest for probity in our budget.

For the remaining numbskulls here, we protest and enforce any issue of our choosing[b] depending on its relevance to our interests[/b]. .

How am I gonna do that? I don't even work in IT, the settings of the computers can only be altered ONLY by an OCIO staff. Anyway, please let me know how to do it.

Imagine the way GEJ handled the Northern crisis without causing a major war, how smart he was not to fall for the tricks of those devils, how he listened and reinstated the subsidy.

S&P has recently upgraded our credit rating , making Nigeria more attractive to investors, Human rights have improved and the foundation is being laid for development and progress.

Will they allow this guy get on with it    Nope.

Same thing the silly republicans did to Obama, infighting, bickering, protesting for no real cause has brought America to it's knees.

We keep copying the west, it was occupy America, and then occupy London, now Nigeria is once again COPYING the west.

Let us be original, calm and supportive of GEJ.

Give him time.

What the heck is she weaving? Money allocated for agriculture includes money allocated to the Ministry of Water, roads?? AAARRRRGHGGGGHHHHH

And is it not working? Please make a point, the pushback to sentiment rather than logic is quite old now.

PointB:
@LadyT,
I don't agree her head should roll first. It is very basic. She resumed in September and her very first task was to prepare the budget. In the course of doing that she discovered several anomalies: entrenched and complex anomalies far too difficult to understand within the time frame for the budget. In between understanding the problems and stopping the leaks she was able to deal with some of the pension and salary sleaze in the police using biometrics system.

Now most of the anomalies discovered during budgets preparation all have their sources in a complex system called - subsidy. To understand the problem better, you have to unveil the subsidy! Tough as it was, that was what she did. All in the nick of time.

If you look beyond sentiment, you will understand she did the right thing.

Now let us deal with the mega fraud behind the subsidy and bid the practice good bye. Who knows maybe our refineries might start working again.

Removal of subsidy fights corruption . . . . https://images-5.findicons.com/files/icons/1039/manto/128/scared.png

aaaarrggghhh!!!! This approach to tackling corruption na wa oooo!!

Beaf:
People would always have resisted. Many of us argued stridently that the removal of the subsidy would clear away massive levels of corruption in the system. That is excactly what we are witnessing now.

We stand vindicated. By the time this is all through, every man and his dog would regret ever paying N65 only to be so enslaved.
