grandstar:Sir, I understand all these and share your sentiments. I was once a "Pro subsidy-removal" champion but the question is, what commitment has the Government shown so far? What is the essence of removing subsidy while the Country still continue to heavily import? This would only mean more money for Politicians to loot while ordinary citizens face the harsh economic reality. If these Politicians are really serious about subsidy removal, let them use the ineffective tons of loans they have been taking to fix 2 out of our 3 refineries. That way, we know we are paying back the loan having achieved petroleum refining capacity. There's no way they remove subsidy to later start thinking about fixing refineries, we all know this will never happen cuz of sabotage. This is Nigeria where Politicians loot every single penny they lay hand on while the ordinary citizens are left in excruciating Penury. Inference is simple; FIX THE REFINERIES, REMOVE SUBSIDY. |

lhordspy: Mumu, under whose administration is everyone protesting all the time? You no get sense nah, if you do, you wouldn't let people know that you saw this disappointing and shameful thread. It's your paymasters on the seat and your candidate has vowed to continue from where he stopped..... You are even rejoicing that some people are staging a protest against the hardship everyone is facing in this country |

PlayMaker14: funny enough, these youths we still vote Tinubu. It is appalling that we allows emotions to take the best of us. Imagine how can someone boldly say "i will continue from where Buhari Stops" that's like threatning my life. #SMH |

PlayMaker14:Must you always show your stupidity and ill-mannered on public forum like this? For your information, I am a Yoruba and Muslim and voted PDP and Ebele Jonathan in 2015 but due respect to those that voted APC because that was their opinion. Insulting a whole tribe and religion shows the kind of upbringing you have. Instead of promoting your candidate, you move around abusing and insulting another candidate. You are doing more damages to your candidate than good with this unruly behaviour |

grandstar:you are an illiterate to be advocating a perpetual increase in price of an important commodity like fuel that will have a multiplier effect on the economy, a commodity we have comparative advantage in. All supporters of APC are dumb people why can't you guys practice what you preach, you and your government want us to stop importation but you continue to import petrol we can conveniently produce here,importing hardship to Nigeria in the process and wasting scarce foreign exchange |

So protest will bring down exchange rate, repair refineries and make those that stashed stolen monies abroad to return them. Protesters will only curry attention, raise security concerns, damage infrastructure among others. We are all witnesses to the recent strike by the Lagos bus drivers. Why was the state government unable to fill the gap. Straight answer, it was because some people in the name of protest destroyed so many buses during endsars. We will suffer it together. A constructive way should be to sit with politicians and agree on roadmap to economic progress against 2023. Agree on smart goals and annual reviews among others. Set key performance indicators and MOUs. |

surgical: I don't understand what you're saying. You don't have the basic understanding of what fuel subsidy means or deregulation of the pump price means. Peter Obi and Atiku Abukakar are both ending fuel subsidies and deregulating the price. It's even enshrined in the PIB act. It shpuld have been implemented by nkw but timid PMB does not have the stomach for the protests and has it postponed to next year June 2023. He has placed the task on the incoming government. Then again, any price increase now will mean easy votea for the opposition. https://www.thecable.ng/peter-obi-we-must-move-nigeria-beyond-oil-end-petrol-subsidy/amp https://businessday.ng/politics/article/atiku-will-remove-petrol-subsidy-channel-it-to-transportation-education-pdp/ |

Re: Youths Plan Nationwide Protest Over Rising Fuel Prices, Scarcity by Atonto: 9:23pm On Nov 13, 2022 |
grandstar: This is apt and straight to the point. The only comment devoid of political and ethnic sentiment i've read so far. Is either some people don't read or they don't understand the global political climate at this period. The price of Fuel cannot go down, in as much we are not the one refining it. Increase in price is a global disaster exasperated by the Ukraine and Russia war. The issue of Subsidy is another colossal mistake of Nigeria and her entitlement generation. For us to really know where we stand, subsidy must go and accountability must prevail. This is no Govt doing, it is just the latest pandemic around and no country is immune to it. We just need to be factual and look for a way forward. Government at this election period will not make mistake of removing subsidy. But we should be ready to support whoever win the 2023 election on subsidy removal. that's just the way to go. |
Re: Youths Plan Nationwide Protest Over Rising Fuel Prices, Scarcity by grandstar(m): 11:00pm On Nov 13, 2022 |
Atonto: Many thanks for your response. It too was very objective. What most Nigerians fail to realise is that the subsidy is keeping them impoverished. They fail to realise that it strains the Naira causing it to lose value. It also creates a massive hole in the budget forcing the government to borrow, crowding out private borrowers. It might be worse now with government borrowing directly from the CBN. This fuels inflation. Worse,it discourages investment into refining. This is the biggest disservice that the subsidy does to the economy Had the fuel price been deregulated at far back as 1999, by now, the country should be refining about 2m bpd of crude oil. Dango the refinery alone would employ nothing less than 8,000 engineers. That's excluding other highly skilled staff from other professions. With 2mbpd, that would be at least 30,000 engineers. The GSM operators were allowed to fix their price and this led to massive investment in the industry which had a transformative effect on the economy. It was a sector that played a prominent role in the re-basing of Nigeria's GDP to $500bn in 2013. The benefits of deregulated pricing of petrol will far outstrip that of the GSM mobile in the Nigerian economy. 1 Like |

Re: Youths Plan Nationwide Protest Over Rising Fuel Prices, Scarcity by Atonto: 6:56pm On Nov 17, 2022 |
grandstar: We are subsidizing fuel for almost all the west Africa nations, through the illegality of Round tripping. At the end of the day, we end up sending our foreign reserves into the pocket of few corrupt and powerful individuals. In as much as the price of fuel is not market driven, no investor will invest in that sector, even our refinery will not work. As a people, we need to understand this and support the removal of subsidy even though it will create a temporary hardship, but the nation will spring forth from this and the Govt will not have any excuse to give on how our money is being spent. We need to reject this entitlement mentality, that the Corrupt few are using to set us on collusion cause, with the Govt, anytime we hear of subsidy removal. Even, some so called Labor union leaders are not exempted in these sharp practices. Reason why they are always quick to incite and mobilize people against any form of subsidy removal as if they are helping us. The goal should be for us to return to a Producer nation and not a consumer nation. |
