yeah, he protested with the lies that he sold to his gullible followers about subsidy.... the truth that he protested with his lies is waiting for him to continue...

Keep waiting! In fact go to Bourdillon and drag him on his legs

danngnews:
You should be asking Tinubu and Bakare weather na boil grow for their mouth that they now, find it difficult criticize the same thing they protested against during the last Jonathan's regime.

They are Nigerians just like you and I, they dont have 2 heads while you have 1 and they have a right (just like you) to decide when they want to complain, when they want to protest and when they want to just ignore, waka pass and go rest in the comfort of their homes.

The only meaningful question to be asked here is for those calling on 2012 protesters to protest today, are you people crippled? Or did those men prevent you from protesting? Abi is there anywhere it's written in any constitution that it's the very same set of people that must lead protest?

Very soon some Nigerian youths would ask 90 year old Wole Soyinka who has been protesting and inhaling tear gas under different regimes to go and lead protest while youths sit at home on BBnaija.

Vanzcharles:
To me it is not about protesting subsidy removal. The problem is that we were supposed to pass this stage if only the present political elites who were the antagonist then refused to blind the general masses on the importance of subsidies removal.

Now, eight years later we are now back to the same thing that they was once agitated for. We are running in circles bro.

Who no go no go know. As the time bn dey that tym present administration no sabi Weytin dey sup until now wey dem dn enter there. You don see say the mata con get as e be na

If politicians dont play politics, who will?

LadySarah:
It is still being paid even in July. The news was here this week

Would be good if you can post the link to that.

strangest:
I guess they left the job for him since he is used to deceiving the masses

As an opposition politician, he protested. Now as a politician in ruling party, you still want him to protest against himself while 200million Nigerians sit docile in their houses?... Nigerians go wait tire!

strangest:
Tinubu should lead a protest as usual

You no get leg to stage protest?

I've seen several people posting pictures saying APC protested subsidy removal in 2012. Abeg what or who is stopping PDP from protesting now?

Racoon:
So they finally confessed that subsidy or their dubious subsidy under-recovery payment has been ongoing despite the government's lies?

So who has been paying the alleged subsidy and to who?
Was the subsidy payment appropriated by the rubberstamp NASS? This government is something else.

But it was announced since April that subsidy had been stopped; which other subsidy are you referring to?

fowlyansh181:
they said subsidy was removed way back , so I don’t get this.

Subsidy was removed in April 2020. It was initially removed in 2016, but after similar public outcry (when crude prices increased), subsidy was reintroduced. But it was finally removed again just this April.

fowlyansh181:
Nigerians goofed really bad, no matter how bad you think he is, he should have been made president instead of this current thing we have

You think Atiku would have resumed payment of fuel subsidies? Cos that's all this current pump price increase is all about (i.e. no subsidies).

tot:
Yada yada yada. Utter rubbish. Mr Zombie!

Better to be a zombie with common sense and intelligence, than to be a 'whatever you term yourself' without a functional cell in your skull. Like I said before, even a toddler with half a brain understands the subsidy logic.

tot:
This one is in denial, utterly lost. Zombiesm is becoming harder by the day.

You must be describing your family members there... The statement I made is not for dumb people to understand; with this your response, you seem to have appropriately classed yourself.

Subsidy payments has stopped, and pump prices deregulated. Pump prices would increase or decrease in line with increase in global crude prices; except the FG decides to resume the subsidy regime again (of which if they do, you will still blindly wail about it). Even a person with half a brain understands this concept, but someone who dares to call another a 'zombie' is clueless to this basic logic.

Unigrad:
People will still support APC and buhari?

What has this increase got to do with Buhari or APC? Subsidy payment has been stopped; did you expect pump prices to remain the same despite fluctuations in global crude prices?

What are Nigerians so ignorant of what subsidy means?

What does the current increase in pump prices have to do with Buhari or FG? Subsidy has been removed, so what did anyone expect? That fuel prices would stay the same when global crude price rises? Or should the FG be reintroducing full payment of petrol subsidies?

It's really difficult these days meeting any meaningful debates in this forum.

darfay:
I owe u nothing


Fork off

Lol... After feeding your mind fat with beer parlour hearsay garbage, and coming to public to regurgitate the empty nonsense you swallowed, I obviously wasn't expecting you to be able to give a reasonable response to my question. You didn't surprise me!

Too many people who even claim to be educated obviously dont even know what deregulation means.

darfay:
Considering how uselessly useless oil is going especially in the next 30yrs, is such capital intensive project still advisable?

No matter the price of crude, refining profits still remain the same.

Buy crude for $100, refine and sell for $300 = $200 profit.
Buy crude for $10, refine and sell for $210 = $200 profit.

The likes of Dangote and BUA did not get to their current economic level by making poor decisions. You and I aren't wiser/smarter than them.

darfay:
Too bad


The hausas have monopolized our oil first dangote and now this? They successful frustrated others out of this. A wealthy urhobo dude wanted to go into a Jv to set up a refinery in Delta state but the Hausa cabals frustrated him and oh the guy is dead now.

Victim mentality, jealousy and ethnic hating has already started this early morning. Please provide details of how, who and when the so called Hausa cabal stopped an Urhobo man or anyone else from setting up a refinery. Since 2016, the FG has literally been begging private individuals and enterprises to come take licenses for modular refineries.... It's not enough to just peddle baseless beer parlour gibberish into the public space as if it were fact. Kindly provide the details of this allegation, and do well to provide the name of the so called wealthy Urhobo man whose refinery was stopped by Hausas. Thanks!

dokyOloye:
Nice.
But d world is gradually moving away from dependence on fossil fuel.

Fossil fuels aren't going anywhere, not even in the next 50 years. Forget those tales you hear!

These pathetic Jonathanian and their perpetual wailings... I guess Jazzy should have campaigned for the continuation of a failed leader at the time (GEJ); maybe that would have miraculously turned Nigeria to Dubai by now. Losers!

daddytime:
Am I the only one seeing an ethical hacker advertising his talents and about to cash out real big from Access Bank?

Just thinking...

Lol at all the commenters above calling for his arrest. Life is not for the most part, black and white. There is oftentimes an in-between.

Was thinking along the same lines too... nothing from the video indicates a serious crime yet.

Lol... this one follow for the opposition?

Tinubu and Buhari (and not too long ago, Amaechi) have been causing 'sifia pains' to a political section of the country for a while now.

See person papa!

Angelfrost:
How exactly would you know they won't lose it, either identically like FFK or to a lesser degree??! Have they ever been put on that exact same spot??!... In all the years of this regime, how many journalists have ever asked such questions to our leaders in all the conferences held??! How well do they tackle even Mr. President during live conferences??!...

This isn't the first time politicians have been asked annoying/degrading questions by the press, and from my experience following political news, I don't know any politician who has displayed this sort of shameless outburst in public. By the way, this isn't the first time FFK is doing this same thing, I'm actually surprised this one is trending.

And for the records, there was absolutely nothing degrading or insulting about the question posed by the journalist. A politician is on a state tour; such tours are usually sponsored by the party or a support group and what is there to be ashamed about? What exactly is degrading if the journalst asks if the tour is sponsored?

BREYZ:
Look at how everyone is against femi in this thread, nobody wants to reason. Can this same journalist redirect such question to Tinubu? As well as Aisha Buhari?


Being a minister some 13 years ago now means he is poor or does that mean he doesn't have some investments that are yielding good profits today? Some persons will just allow hate for femi becloud their sense or reasoning. Typing in big grammar won't help you op, you people should at least be reasonable for once. That question was an insult, did femi do an international tour? No. It was all within Nigeria & some states I know he may have travelled by road in his own car, it's just a pity that people here are just full of hate.


Such a messed up country, look at them attacking the man yet never saw anything degrading in the question asked by that journalist. Why can't they send him to go and ask your so called saints in power such questions but they won't and you all will fully support, Ass lickers. This is why Nigeria is never moving forward

What sort of mentality is this? Of course if there are humans like FFK out there, there will certainly be humans like BREYZ who would see the world from Femi's eyes. FFK is a PDP chieftain, he's been on a tour of PDP states, visiting governors, visiting project sites, moving about with the press etc. The journalist simply asked, "who is bankrolling your current tour?" Is it an official PDP duty, is it just a personal tour etc. The answer to that question should have been very very very simple for anyone with a sound mind; but obviously, speaking queen's English isn't a sign of mental sanity.

For the record, there was absolutely nothing wrong, nothing degrading and nothing insulting about the question posed by the journalist; and yes, Aisha Buhari, Tinubu and just about any other politician across the length and breadth of Nigeria can be asked that same question without them foolishly loosing it like FFK. Meanwhile this isn't the first time FFK has done this to a journalist in public; his uncontrolled vulgar tongue doesnt even spare anyone. FFK is the only politician alive today who has repeatedly used the most vulgar words publicly to insult political opponents.

Does anyone still need further evidence that FFK is a deranged crack head?

You're on a tour of different PDP states; a reporter asks a simple question if it's a sponsored tour and BOOM!!! Oga explodes into an insane tirade. What's wrong if it's a sponsored tour? What's wrong with the journalist's question?

SmartProf:
I knew our clueless govt will blame it on the Covid 19 pandemic, meanwhile all sane Nigerians know that these incompetent leaders are our real pandemic.

No doubt that incompetent and wicked leaders are a pandemic in Nigeria, but sane humans around the world also know the covid19 impact is responsible for the current economic downturn around the globe. But then, such level of understanding must be too complex for typical Nigerians who can only see politics, tribe and religion.

God help us!

Fighting the church indeed!

The black man and his hatred for anything which resembles accountability. If I'm not into fraud, why exactly should I be bothered about transparency?

If govt asks religious organisations to declare financial status, I'm totally lost at how that amounts to "fighting the church".... I'd be glad if someone knowledgeable can explain to me why exactly I should be worried about this as a Christian.

Or is 'hiding of financial status' one of the cardinal mandates given by Christ to the church?

Bitter people keep transferring hatred and aggression from Bubu to Osinbajo, but the man appears to have God on his side. He keeps meandering his way out of trouble even though he swims in shark infested waters.

Who really cares where a private citizen flies or is flown to? What exaclty is the relevance of this?

Anago55:
Niger Delta shame on you all. those are your common wealth. they pushed our brother Good luck Jonathan away simply because he was from the minority while enthroning a coupist

Lest I forget, Ibo man is the problem of the Niger Delta,they littered our land with fake drugs,baby factory, rituals and so on. they are the one at the top echelon of the oil firms. I hate ibos

Stinking backward mentality. As if to say the Niger Delta states dont receive allocations, far far larger allocations from the centre. But of course the leaders steal the money and faint in probe sessions, and idiots defend the thieving leaders and blame the north for using the little allocation they get to build little structures.

Nonsense!
