Nonsense wake up from your utopia, it is always greener on the other side, you can’t give what you don’t have.

What is Government? Federal, State & Local Government? Or to the legions of Mumurist, it is only Federal that is government to them?

Nigeria's problem is ethnic.

If this happened in 2011-14, this thread will be hitting 24 pages by now and our hypocritical brothers from the south will be claiming something else.

Where is there so called "just anger" ? What happened to there so called quest for good governance ?

Anyway, the only justification for this government or any other coming government to remove fuel subsidy is

1) allow states and private bodies to build power plants, generate ,transmit and sell directly to customers-no more rubbish of transmission to national grid.

2) increase minimum wage relative to actual economic realities or,put our politicians on a civil service Level payroll.

3) Allow states access to develop resources within its borders .

pawesome:
I am here to assure everyone reading this that even after subsidy is removed,they will still be borrowing


These guys will formulate another nonsense to loot

How many times have they removed subsidy?

revolt:
Lol.. where are the occupy niaja crew? Gej removed the subsidy una say no... make una enjoy

Don't be Foolish, Cut down Federal and National Assembly unnecessary Expenses Simple

backbencher:
At best the National Assembly spends 1.5 trillion naira annually. Cutting down on their expenses, while nice, won't make a dent in the money needed to pay for subsidies.

Same for Federal government.

We have to cut down their expenses, but it won't solve the problem the way you think it should.

toujurs:
So are you suggesting the masses should keep suffering alone, their security votes and salaries should be slashed, this is the best option, how can Nigeria keep borrowing to pay salaries, where are we heading to

backbencher:
Yes, but the states and private bodies must be allowed to set cost reflective tarrifs, not tarrifs set by Abuja to help poor people. They must be allowed to set tarrifs that would earn them lots of profit. Not make power at N53 and sell it at N20-30 (which was the situation in 2018)

Also Nigerians must stop stealing power, and stop bypassing their meters.

Yes, and that is why subsidy must go.

That N3 trillion that we are going to spend on subsidy could have been used to raise minimum wages. You guys don't know what you are missing by trying to eat your cake and have it a la subsidy.

Goes without saying, but then again ultimately Nigeria must use its resoruces to develop industrial goods for export at prices we can control...so that we can earn cash.

Selling resources just means we would be selling at a loss...because the international export prices of cocoa, rice, palm oil, etc are not controlled in Nigeria.

Why can't FG use Tinubu as collateral to borrow more money

Biodun556:
The reason why they wanted to remove the subsidy by June was because someone refineries will be operational by September

Charisma01:
The one GEJ and Buhari subsequently removed nko?
Be wise, the subsidy no dey ever finish?

revolt:
oga stop talking nonsense ...gej removed it

Penguin2:
But I thought Buhari said Subsidy is a scam?

And I remember Tinubu urchins re-echoing such then even though some of them knew it was a false statement.

Now they’ve been spending trillions of naira on the “scam” and struggling to remove the “scam”.
