Politics › Re: House Of Reps Passes Motion To Reverse Subsidy Removal - Sai, Tambuwal by OmoTier1(m): 7:05pm On Jan 08, 2012
KnowAll:
THE President can use the resolution to back track and save face. It is better for the house to reject the proposal than for the President to fall on his sword and accept a reversal of his intention. That would make him look like a clown. Who knows whether it is even the President urging the house to turn down the bill since he(THE President) cannot face Ngozi  and tell her to her face this thing cannot not work for now.

But I personally still support the removal of any subsidy, it is a drain to our economy no matter how we look at it.
Look, any sane and reasonable Nigerian would support the removal of subsidy, but not in a manner the FG has gone about it. From day one, GEJ's government has been suffering from credibility and trust. After 100days in office, Nigerians saw no show! He response to the disquiet amongst Nigerians coud have best be described as timid!

His so much talked about consultation became a smoke screen of deceit! Claimed to be engaging with the stakeholders in Nigeria, and all of a sudden after the visit of IMF cheif, GEJ turned His face against dialogue and became dictatorial!

No doubt, Subsidy is bound to go BUT, GEJ must put the horse before the cart and not the other way around. Fix refinery, build roads, revamp border security, and reform NNPC!

Even at that, if adequate measures are not put in place to make sure those TEMPROARILY given permission to import fuel do not in themselves become a cabal that would dictate the eventual pump price, Nigerians may well yet become victims of high level power play! Imagine if the major importers decide to strike 'cos government refuse their request to up the price of pump price? There are a whole lot of issues and scinarios that has to be thought out and adequately addressed before subsidy can be removed. Give Nigerians 6-Months, embark on these reforms, with the massive support this government had at the very beginning, she could have suceeded in 'stabbing' a knife through these so called cabal without her bleeding, again that is if the FG is not part of the cabal huh

Some ladies choose to pursue a career as p-rostitutes out of their own freewill, there is nothing universally immoral about it. P-rostitution may still be culturally immoral in some dark regions of Africa, but the good news is that it has been legalised in most European countries; and p-rostitutes who live in these countries can now practise their profession without being stigmatised by a bunch of bigoted and narrow-minded educated illiterates whose only foundation of "good morals" is derived from either their myopic culture, or their religion, or a combination of both evils.

Absolute trash! A very despicable post indeed. No right thinking individual with their brains intact would reason this way. This can only come from a womanizer, a P. stitute patronizer or from someone suffering from "Silvio Berlusconisis" syndrome

No response! In civilized clime, as the legislative arm has taken a stand, you will get an immediate response from the excutive arm. Espect GEJ to complete his mid night meetings before you would hear from the infamous Reuben Abati!

Whatever resolution passed by the lower house will still have to be seconded by the senate. And of course the president still have the right to exercise veto power.
WoW, despite all your rants in NL, you do not know the difference between a motion moved, debated and passed on the floor of the House, and a Bill debated and voted for clause by clause by members and where the vetoe power of the President comes in. FYI, the vetoe power of the President is not the final say, it on has a 30days life span!

Beaf:
[size=21pt]I wonder why the reps did not cut their salaries?
Why did they also reject a motion to investigate, arrest and prosecute the cabal? Is it because they are members?
Shine your eyes.

Will you shut it in there! Who are you deceiving with 25% House cook salary cut huh , If your GEJ was serious that this is part of the palliative measures for Fuel Subsidy removal well thought out, He would also equally have told the nation how much it would save and when the cut is to begin!

I am and I have been calling their office. It is much better if the airline cancels the flight than if I actually do.
Go to their website and check your booking. If there is cancellation, you will be notified there. Otherwise, pack your bag, drive down to the airport and if they are flying, then lucky you, otherwise, get information from their desk.

I suspect they might use their alternative routes to re-routes Nigeria bound passengers. Remember this is an Indefinate Strike and once it starts, if the FG fail to reverse her actions, it is more likely that NLC/TUC will continue their protest.

Even United Airlines/Continental has done the right thing.

http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,52939,00.html?jumpLink=%2Ftravelwaiver
I dunno what you are trying to point out, but the reason I put up this post is inform people of the impending strike on Monday and that Aviation will be affectedm hence, it is left to them to do the wise thing by contacting their airliner or going to their website to confirm if they will be flying to Nigeria or not.

As you have rightly seen, United will not be flying into Nigeria on Monday at least for now unless Labour calls off the strike at the last minute.

As for the waiver, yes it is a good thing and it is an international standard practice by most airlines. Monitoring Arik and a few others , no words from them yet.

When is strike suspose to commence in Nigeria? FYI, Emirates can fly you out of Dubai and dump you in Ghana or near by airports and connect you by road into Lagos if they are denied landing due to the union strikes.

Because those cabals paid of people at the wharf and at the borders. THere is no evidence of the fraud. Its a complex scenerio my friend. The best bet is take away the subsidy and they will invest in Refineries to export the PMS to the West African countries they have ready customers. Trust me on this, there is will refineries springing up here and there in the next 6 months
FYI, had GEJ reformed and strengthen the police, customs and Immigration within the last six months to tackle smuggling across the border, and Nigerians see real results, had He also genuinely embark on aggressive overhaul of the refineries, construction of roads, schools and hospitals, Nigerians would have given him the benefit of the doubt.

For 9months, He has been talking about reform of the Ministries, Dapartments and Government Agencies, Nigerians have seen nothing from His talks. 88% of the corruption in this country goes on in thr MDAs and until those who run the MDAs are made to face their job with honesty, sincerety with Nation first attitude, the government really will be wasting her time in the fight against corruption. Ask any Politician, if you want to steal money, make the civil servants your second leaking pot!!!

They are the microcosm of our Nigeria State.  You can see why no one needs to consult them for creative growth issues. They are confusionist paid with our oil wealth, I think the strike should be for slashing of their entitlements to pay for subsidy!!!
If you are not aware, the House of Reps is playing it safe 'cos they have been warned they would be the first target of the #OccupyNigeria as anger move from Fuel Subsidy removal to Government Officials which will still happen anyway!

Listen, by international dispute laws relating to air travel, ALL flights already air borne will be allowed to land and the Emirates flight you are refering to will be Airborn by the time the flight would have commenced!

More reason why the International flights should be affected is to put more pressure on the FG to reverse her actions!

Nigeria is almost depleting our reserve as we speak and we will not take loans to fund subsidy.
Look Mr, Obasanjo funded the subsidy and Nigeria did not go broke! Yar'dua funded the subsidy and Nigeria did not go broke! Why were these ex-president able to fund subsidy within the appropriated fund of N390bn and GEJ could not do same? Has oil prices increased astronomically since 2008 peaks? Has Nigeria consumption increased astronomically since 2008 peaks?

We know who is deceiving who. If the nation is broke then GEJ should not renovate the state house with a whooping $3.5million !!,

It is obvious that your stand on the issue is not driven by the FACTUAL details rather by ethnic sentiment. In my previous post, I asked you to explain to us what difference between deregulation and Price increase in a capitalist economny, but I am yet to read your 'common sense' explanation!
Politics › Re: Occupy Nigeria: Updates From Across The Nation by OmoTier1(m): 2:34am On Jan 08, 2012
DaLover:
what obj and previous govts did before was simply price increase, what GEJ has done is partial deregulation, with deregulation govt is no longer involved in running the business of refining, products supply and distribution, they revert back to their primary responsibility of policy and regulation, deregulation will be complete when govt hands of the 4 refineries to private entties.
The increase in price is an unfortunate aspect of deegulation, which compition is expected to bring down later, even if not to 65naira. Now asking for price tol be reduced back to 65naira, you are saying govt should go back to managing the sector,
A position i vehemently oppose.
As I thought rightly, you have completely exposed your st.upidty! You have no grasp of what deregulation vis a viz national security is all about. If you call what GEJ has done partial deregulation, then you must be sick in the head! Go back and look at the meaning of the word "Regulate" and "Deregulation" then come back here and have a discuss.

For you'r a waste of space and time! Good night!!!

Like you i agree that corrupt persons should be procecuted, but unlike like u, i believe that in addition, the conditions that enable corruption to thrive should be removed,

I guess you probably dont know the difference between deregulation and price increase,
Look do not try to pretend as if you are now on the side of the masses! Your post clearly show whom you support and where you belong. Simple test, if you claim you knw the difference between deregulation and price increase, explain to us in clear terms exactly what Price increase is and what deregulation isn't!
