Lol. Same old lie, 2015 to 2023. Yahoo yahoo Buhari government. Top to bottom. He came in through lies and propaganda, and he's going out with the country worse than he met. When you thought he could give the country a credible election to right a few wrongs, he still showed his usual failure.

Unfortunately, the same people that glamorized for his ascendancy to presidency are in support of another calamity in waiting.

Peter Obi has exposed their scam. Now they want to retrace their steps.

Fuel Subsidy is a scam the Presidency use to enrich themselves.
A new Nigeria is POssible.
Obi never expose anything he was part of the PDP govt that stole and stole.

Petrol subsidy is one of the greatest scams in Nigerian politics. Every year they tell us they're removing subsidy, only to find out the following year "it was only part of it they removed"

Completely remove the fuel subsidy without thinking of the consequences

Then go ahead to increase the vat from 7.5% to 20%.

In all these, Nigerians will still bow down to worship you.

I'm 100% in favour of subsidy removal.

Some of us are just particular about moving Nigeria to the next level; not endorsing nonsense simply because it is served in tribal class with political garnishing.

1.Was part of the PDP that used the same subsidy scam...even to a larger extent than APC.

2.Supports subsidy removal anyway.

Our leaders are zombies. Why was there subsidy in the first place?
Subsidy was introduced to attract foreign investors with cheap energy. Ghana and other countries around us have next to steady power supply. The only advantage Nigeria has over Ghana going by our epileptic power supply is cheap energy. By the time you remove subsidy most companies will pull out of Nigeria to neighbouring countries where power supply is more stable than Nigeria.
Government should invest efforts is to identify and block all the loopholes of fuel diversion.
Cheaper fuel benefits local industry.
Lol..

It’s not that easy oo..

Ghana would be praying make Nigeria no comot ham nio..

This is why they are doing it at the end of their tenure so that the new government will not see their fraud.

Nope if you have been following the story very well you should have known that subsidy should have been removed during Jonathan time but people are easily led by what people tell fought against it.

If this administration is not mad and selfish. Why not let the incoming government do the subsidy removal thing as convenient for them, not causing a mess for them and you’re leaving the office.

Are these people smart at all huh Must you ruin everything for the next guy, must it be you that do it? Just to put your name on record that your implemented it??

If Obi won, he would have removed fuel subsidy too.

All the main candidates, and many of the minor candidates (Abiola of PRP even stated he won't waste time removing it if he was elected...understandable since he was in the oil industry before politics)...stated they would remove subsidy.

The problem with subsidy is that today you can budget say (hypothertically) 6 trillion naira for subsidy in 2024, then because of war in one place or crisis in another place...oil prices shoot up to 140 dollars a barrel, and your cost of subsidy suddenly goes up....beyond estimated income.

Now how do you pay for the subsidy? You take loans.

The scary thing...it is not enough.

Plus because fuel cost is less...people smuggle fuel to our neighbours...and it is not big man...even small boy takes jerrycan of fuel at N200 a liter and sells it in say Benin for 400 a liter.

At the end, we are left with a big hole in the budget...a deficit...and how do we cover the deficit? More loans.

Guess who is suffering...the poor.


Subsides do not work...because people love to make money, and people want to be paid, and because refineries cost far more than we realise to build, operate and maintain.


Right now, subsides are eating all our income and forcing us to take loans. Plus we still have to pay off debts..if you have not forgotten.


That's why all the candidiates support subsidy removal. If we keep it, Dangote refinery will collapse because he won't make enough profit to keep refining sustainably. NNPC too will suffer badly because of the 20% investment they have there.
