No, but they can be persuaded to remain as part of ways to assuage the situation. Especially as no one has threatened them.
It doesn't speak well of the state of security.

Beaf:
They must not be allowed to leave for numerous reasons.

Gbawe:
Illiterate dullard !!! I mean the owners of Nigeria, who come together to determine what direction the Nation must head in without consulting olodos like you. I am talking about "Yoruba and fulani people"?

Akainzo:
What are the guarantees that YOY, know what you are talking about?

Again, you make assumptions about what you know nothing about. The US or UK situation is different from Nigeria. Nigeria operates a Joint Venture agreement system. Do read it up.

Have you perused any of Nigeria's budget before, if so, please kindly show me anywhere in that budget that States the payments to offset cost of exploring/producing crude oil.
If the FGN budget does not show it, why do you only want to introduce it only for discussion on fuel subsidy

Akainzo:
A former petroleum Minister for about 3 years doesn't know what he is talking about as regards petroleum subsidy! Na wa o!

Akainzo:
You are wrong on above assertion. In Nigeria, we have mostly Joint Venture agreements, which makes FGN through NNPC part owners of the drilling/exploration companies. They therefore share profits and are part owners of the crude. This is why Govt doesn't also show the cost of oil exploration in its own budgeting.

Quote from dmainboss
Your lack if reasoning is what makes you assume for the 160 millon Nigerians, even going to the extent of including Prof Tam David-West who has been saying it since that there aint no subsidy!

You just demonstrated the typical ignorant people's trait, trying to belittle others opinion as ITK, to mask their lack of intellect.

KenGali:
Thank God the wacko subsidy is finally going. but my own issue is with the implementation o! PPPRA should also be scrapped with the subsidy, else Nigerians are then being taken for a ride. There is absolutely no role for a price regulatory body in a system where prices are deregulated, except someone wants to continue to licence importation of petrol products. If that's the case, then the sector is not deregulated as supply becomes regulated with deregulated pricing, this makes for no competition and price build up. Supply must first be deregulated before prices are let loose, also the govt. can only check product pricing by becoming a player in the market with at least 20% market share and low prices. The continued participation of PPPRA is a problem to me as it shows the govt. is not doing away with import licensing. Only DPR and customs should be concerned, DPR with quality and Customs with the import taxes, which will need to be upped to encourage local production after prices are driven down by the initial oversupply and high tempo competition among the marketers following deregulation.

Abeg oga, which fuel u wan use reach Abuja?? Okaaaay,  no be return journey

4Runner:
This will affect everyone in Nigeria, not just car owners. We all need fuel to power our generators. We all have to hit the streets to protest. 'Cos the proceeds from the subsidy will NEVER get to the masses, but will still end up in the pockets of the cabals. JONATHAN MUST GO, period.

What has God ever done for Africa in the past 50 years? Nigerians keep on praying but when did that solve your problems? Stop praying and fight your fight.

toba:
wait oo. How many products do we get from crude oil apart from PMS? at least i know AGO and Jet A1 are also produced. both products has been deregulated long ago thats why the cost of airfares are not stable.

My fear is that these marketers may still continue to import fuel and we cont to pay high prices cos the billions of $ involved in building refineries without govt's participation

NRI PRIEST:
What do you mean by this ??
The only dialects that can stand alone here are Nnewi and Awka; you didnt add Ihiala areas but they speak a different dialect.
Idenmili,Oyi,Njikoka,DunukofiaOnitsha,Ogbaru,Anambra east/west,Ayamelum,Ekwusigo and some others I cant remenber now all speak very similar dialects with little variations.

Isuofia,awgbu,agulu,aguluezechukwu,amobia and more lga around that area speak something like what the Awka ppl speak.

There is nothing like Nri dialects and Onitsha dialects. I bet you if you hear an Idenmili and Onitsha speaking you wont be able to tell who is who.

nedu210:
@obiagu being in the same l.g.a with a clan does not mean u speak de same dialect with all the clan in the l.g.a. oji river l.g.a is in enugu, and with awgu, aninri and oji, we al ar called greater awgu, But dat doesnt mean we all speak the same dialect.

toba:
Do u know that AGO has been deregulated since 2003 yet not one diesel refinery has been built. what guarantees that refineries would be built now?
