I agree, ekt seems like a genuinely honest guy, unfortunately, everything can't be explained with calculus and spreadsheets.

It's not just ekt_bear tho, the usual sycophants aside, there are many well intentioned folks who supported this Subsidy thing initially but are now frustrated by the facts before them.

Most of these extreme capitalistic, free-market evangelists underestimated the corruption within the Nigerian system, they always do. Not their fault though. Economics textbooks can't prepare you for Nigeria. The Nigerian system can embarrass any formula.

Here, until we fix the system and punish criminals, we will always make Nobel prize winners look like idiots.

Extreme corruption and zero will to deal with it is our problem, so simple but so true.

Thanks, man.

Arent you surprised to see one of them hailing Simon Kolawole?

Wonders shall never cease!

OOoops!

I was indirectly referring to him.

He argued in favour of its removal on many occasions.



How I love my Ekt; I really do. We should be nice to him, though. I am really glad we didn't lose him to Stormfront. As far as I am concerned, he is an Omowale.



He means well but he doesn't have the facts.


He's moi boi.



A nice dude, that boi!

So, where are those NLanders who wanted the the so-called subsidy removed?

arsenefc:
Yes, I do.

So?

Another day, bro.

Am  a Nigerian  like u guy working in private sector. Have not benefit from any government  either the present or the past one, so am not supporting one, but i want to make the following clear.

- The three refineries are all working at their optimal capacity. I have been to these refineries at least 3 to 4 time in the last 2 months, so the problem is not fixing the refineries, but their out put can not meet with Nigerians consumption rate, that why we are importing. Also remember that we are not a capitalist economy but rather a mixed economy, but the government want to move into a socialist economy, by so doing the private sector will be the major controller of our economy where price will be determine by the force of demand and supply. so it will be the responsibility of the private sector to build the refineries as is done in most socialist economy in the world.

- Secondly i want state here that i support the removal of the subsidy, we should be able to embrace change, every great economy in world pay one price or the other, for instance like China. Just imagine for every liter of fuel we are buying the government is paying  almost 80 naira to the importers, who will not even want our refineries to work so that they can continue to enslave both the government and the masses. So this is what is going to happen at the initial stage, like the coming of gsm, a Sim card was almost sold at 30k while Nokia 3010 was 40k+, but Sim card are almost free, with 27k you can buy the lowest grade of BB, why is this so, because the force of demand and supply are in place. With the subsidy gone the fuel will be sold at 150 naira per liter at the initial stage but with time we will be buying fuel at 18 to 20 naira per liter, the private sector will be force to build refineries to reduce the cost of importation instead hiding under the umbrella of subsidy to make their huge profit . they will be room for competition and the three refineries will be privatise like the case of NI TEL.

Omo ale!

Hmmmmm. I read something very creative in Spotless' post. I wouldn't say what exactly but good job man.


I will actually think deeply about it first . . . .


Nice one. Take care

Very apt!

This fictitious English custom of turning a tea cup upside down exists ONLY in the confused minds of more than a few people who have responded to this thread.    The entire premise of this discussion is absurd, comical and ridiculous, since it is based entirely on patently false speculation cooked up in the fertile imagination of one or more individuals who obviously have never set foot outside of rural Africa.

Thanks bro.

I have noticed that most Nairalanders are liars. . . they are!


Very soon they will be here to bruit about this false custom. The same people who fib about their billionaire background yet see Debenhams as expensive.

I have lived in the same flat with these Oyinbos (English), studied in the same classroom with them, worked with them and . . . . .  err . . you know it.

I still do.

I am sure some people here will turn to jellies when they see these original Oyinbos.

No wonder most people in Nigeria still call Pakistanis, Indians and Egyptians Oyinbos.

Turn the cup upside down? Heheheh

As well as a boost to its economy, Techiman should also see a green boost to its power supply. Rajkumar Impex is spending another $9m on generating electricity from biomass, using nut waste and other material to be bought in. Of the 6MW it plans to generate, it expects to use 0.6MW and to give the rest to the local community. The government, though, will have to provide the wires. As travellers on the bumpy road to Techiman know, west Africa needs infrastructure as well as factories.

Policies are easy to conceptualize, especially on a piece of paper.


I can write business plans/reports from my bedroom. In fact, I do so on a freelance basis. It does fetch me money once in a while, but NOT regularly.



We don't lack policy formulators; we lack something that is much more fundamental than that: honesty/love for one another/our country.



Got it?

Another nice piece from El-Rufai. He obviously has a firm grasp of the issues and seems to know what to do about them.

They all seem to know . . . .  albeit out of government.

It is always easy to be radical out of it.

@The mods and super-mods, a lot of people here have been starting threads with ibo instead of IGBO. You may alter those threads and use IGBO instead of Ibo. Say no to this insult. it is IGBO.

Wassappenin', Andre?

I really don't understand this. Both words mean the same thing.

Or, why not start by contacting/correcting Oxford Dico, for example?

Why are we giving them money to build refinery? Why ship it all the way to Indonesia when the same money you give them can be used to build refinery in your own country? Even if for some reason you don't want to build one in Nigeria, built one in a neighboring country.
