You are the leader of your party at least you were decorated with it, even if you are not in government your influence full there, now what advise have you given to government that they don't deem fit to accept, why are will still subsidizing till now when you know that removal is better for close to 8years. I remembered your party said there is nothing like subsidy when Jonathan attempted to remove it. Before you make another promise let us know the percentage fulfilled from the the ones of 2015.

BATified2023:
One thing about Nigerians is that they find it very hard to accept the truth especially when it doesn’t suit them

They want someone who will lie to them later n shenk them with reality when the going gets tough

Where is the 65 naira per litre buhari promised them?

Where is the heaven buhari promised them?

But here is someone saying it as it is but they want sweet lies

Irrespective of whoever becomes president subsidy will b removed, that’s just d bitter truth we have to tell ourselves

you and okeaalaye,Theniceguy and other monicker you created using to constituting nuisance on nairaland.... With your fake likes..

That's a good decision. Subsidy removal for neighboring countries so that Nigerian can enjoy purchase of fuel at a subsidized rate. Good obe

HomoSapiien:
It’d be unreasonable for anyone to protest again fuel subsidy now.

Fuel subsidy must go for the greater good to come.

But in 2012 it wasn't abi? Imagine if that has been done 10 years ago, would we have been where we are today? Pls always think out of Office

You say wetin?

Every presidential candidate have explicitly admitted that negative implications of continuing with subsidy and a dire need of ending it!
However,what is also paramount is how he intends to ameliorate the current sufferings of the citizens to ensure the pain and hardship that comes with the removal doesn't affect the common man!

So he is invariably saying that Buhari has failed woefully. But you cannot be the president since you are simply Buhari pro max.

Peter Obi said that fuel subsidy is a scam. Let's give him a chance because he is the only person we can trust among the other contestants who have history of fraud, corruption and even drug dealings.

Pain and suffering are inevitable
All our neighbouring countries are reconciled to no subsidy so we should get used to it

He's not even hiding anything
Anyway

Arrogant display of insensitivity. A man given to everything evil.
I'm not surprised in the least. After all, a drowning man, left to meet his fate, will mock those watching his demise.
Tinubu ti lu lé. His Doomsday has come home to his cocoon to roost.
I sympathize with his supporters, because they are BATstards.

You still don't get it!
I don't care what other countries are going through because their situation is different from ours!
When FG said the cost of living was not synonymous with just Nigeria,I did a search and discovered that the inflation rate of UK and USA have drastically reduced while ours is till pushing up and not coming down anytime soon!
Pains and suffering is now normalized as a way of life doesn't imply there cannot be moves to ameliorate the hardship it will cause!

Secondly an average Nigerian will not be able to face the hyper inflation that will instantly come upon the economy as price of goods and services will triple!
The only solution is to ensure the refineries and that of dangote starts refining which will put an end to subsidy!

HomoSapiien:

Fuel subsidy must go for the greater good to come.

..and when fuel subsidy goes a litre of fuel will be from 500 to 600 naira more suffering for nigerians.. instead of Tinubu to say that he will repair the refineries and make the refineries to work first before removing the fuel subsidy

More suffering for nigerians... that means fuel will be 500 to 600 naira per litre .. nigerians shine your eyes and not allow this desperate politcians to put you more into hardship

Tannhauser:

Red flags everywhere but some people remain blinded by tribal sentiments.
I am against fuel subsidy but saying he would remove it despite Nigerians protest is nothing short of dictatorial.
I mean, what else is he going to do without taking into consideration the opinions and plight of ordinary Nigerians.
Brace up people, a dictator is coming (heaven forbid)

...a dictator that will not even pity nigerians .. tinubu government will be more worst than Buhari... see how he is talking already threatening nigerians...is this how a democratic presidential candidate should talk

Ogbuefi2020:
After instigating a protest against GEJ for removing the same subsidy?

... tinubu has not yet even become the president he is already threatening nigerians.. nigerians should be wise and avoid all this type of politicians

xratedxG:
By the way. Peter Obi winning is assured. Hit like if you are with me

He is already the social media president na, but he won't smell second talkless of winning the presidential election

Thank the almighty God, Asiwaju Bola T-H-I-E-F-N-U-B-U will never be president and will not decide on fuel subsidy!
He will only decide on whether he imports narcotics from Colombia or Afghanistan.

Those are just words . The reality is that petrol and diesel are imported. The government has borrowed so much now it literally cannot give Nigerians cheap petrol any more than they can give them cheap food. So the point is not whining about what should be but dealing with what is which will be either Nigerians pay or the pumps are dry.
Even if Dangote refinery works the product will not be free. Any subsidy will necessarily mean a cash transfer to Dangote He borrowed money to build that refinery and must repay and make profit.
At the same time ASUU is on strike etc. Subsidy should have been removed a long time ago but we decided to wait until it was no longer a voluntary choice. That is the reality Nigeria cannot survive 2 3 years of subsidy with the debt service already exceeding revenue. We are literally borrowing money to pay subsidy? Does that make sense?
We have been through worse before . Those people who grew up when 10 Naira notes was the biggest denomination are still around .How do you imagine they feel seeing Ghana must go bags of Naira. Subsidy has passed the point of choice now

keep dreaming

2023 o shock you.

Angelfrost:


What was the value of the Naira against the Dollar back then?!!

What was the earning potential of an average Nigerian back then compared to now?!!!

What was the average standard of living of most Nigerians then compared to today?!!

By how much has the minimum wage across government to private establishments increased since then?!

By how much have the nation's internal revenue generation and exportation increased since then?!!

What was the level of inflation then compared to now?!!

Let's start from these basics!

my Oga, watch how he will pretend not to have seen any of ur questions and skip past them like English is Greek to him. That aside,in 2012 ,BAT was in a better health state than we all know in 2022,yet his fanboys are convinced itz nt somtin 2 worry about 4 ova 200m people. Hypocrisy at its finest!!

Sagamu is not too far. You sef travel go your village na

Brendaniel:
Hypocrite, yet you bullied Jonathan with protests for the same thing, that one is your own opinion sha.

Nigerians have chosen Peter Obi to handle the matter, so Baba don't bother yourself

Peter Obi will also remove the subsidy. Know the truth today, none of these politicians care about you.

So what do you say about Tinubu and Buhari saying in the past that there was no subsidy?

Growth is not development. What Lagos experienced is growth and it's an indicator of underdevelopment in Nigeria. High land value, sky high housing cost, traffic and population congestion, high density, overpopulation etc. are alll factors of underdevelopment disguised as growth.
Tell Tinubu to come and school in regional development planning.
