I went to a filling station this morning to buy fuel. When I got there, I met a long queue. I was angry because I knew it would take a long time before I would get fuel but I noticed something very spectacular. This is what I noticed:

1. There were two lines. One for APC members/supporters and another for 'other Nigerians'. Those who were on the APC line were buying fuel for N10 per litre while 'other Nigerians' were buying same fuel for N600 per litre.

2. Those on the APC line were receiving a cup of hot tea, slices of bread and fried eggs after buying fuel. To my surprise, 'other Nigerians' received nothing. Not even a grain of rice.

3. Those on the APC line were receiving employment letters instantly to work in multinational corporations after their fuel purchase. 'Other Nigerians' didn't even get employment letters to do 20k monthly salary jobs.

I didn't buy the fuel again. I became sad and went home with my face down.

Shebi those Yoruba ronu's were supporting Tinubu just to spite obi, Dem never see anything yet...Subsidy removal is the right thing to do but before you can do something like that you need to make plans on how to cushion the effects on ordinary citizens but the leaders are bereft of ideas

Will you guys stop all these childish nonsense?
Must you open a thread for this rubbish?
I support and voted for Peter Obi, but am getting sick and tired of all these childish stupidity from some of Peter Obi supporters on Nairaland.
Too many teenagers on Nairaland.

That is why even when I am a fervent supporter of Peter Obi, I refused to be called Obidient because of some of these shenanigans by so called Obidients.
Even Peter Obi is often embarrassed and have severally call for constraint on some actions.

Lame and infantile. OP, get a life and, most importantly, a brain that will make you useful to Nigeria.

Just take a trip around the so called poorer african countries around you and check the price of PMS in those countries. If Benin Republic here. can buy petrol at around 1200 naira equivalent, what excuse do you giant of Africa have for paying so little?

Many of those who supported Tinubu to win already knew that there will be subsidy removal so this blackmail will not work.

Subsidy removal has been signed to be removed from the 30th of June, 2023 as soon as the PIB bill was signed. That will open up the oil and gas industry for further investments.

When they tell you guys to follow the news and trends, una go de listen to fake statistics from master of lamba.

Stupid post. Cry cry baby tribe of Africa.

You see yourself, that was the exact reason why I gave you a country with a lower standard of living paying high cost of petrol and you were talking of role model, Then I gave you another list of countries to choose from and get back to me, now you are telling me their standard of living is high.

You know, so many things are about the very poor understanding of our problems by the average Nigerian adult who, by nature, is an arrogant creature more prepared to insult others than to accept correction and learn. It should not be so ordinarily.

This is what worries me and somewhat dullens my optimism about our development potential despite conventionally abundant material/mineral endowment.

The very poor human resources of Nigeria is a worry because the average Nigerian is over-religious and hardly read/research substantial topic to better their understanding of the problem vs solution mix of Nigeria.

All that most know to do is cause problems or add to problems with ignorant, childish and grosssly uinformed argument.

What most adult Nigerians need to be up to speed with today is the concept of the full deregulation of the downstream sector because it is crucial to the development of Nigeria and optimal usage of our crude endowment to facilitate that.

This will immediately help Nigerians understand what is happening with fuel subsidy removal, essentially with the succesful removal being a part of the journey and not the destination, all the way up to seeing the big and complete picture that will be beautidul for Nigeria once achieved.

I am tired even bro.

Deregulation of the downstream petroleum industry: An overview of the legal quandaries and proposal for improvement in Nigeria

Olusola Joshua Olujobi

Refined petroleum products' price regulation procedures have weakened the evolution of the downstream oil sector. Allowing private oil investors to supplement the Federal Government efforts to transform the sector will promote fuel availability, increase oil revenues accruing to the government, promote transparency, efficiency, employment opportunities, and diminish the price of refined petroleum products in Nigeria (Olawore, 2012).

Conversely, liberalisation is the abolition of control and involvement of numerous investors in the downstream oil sector to promote vigorous competition, accessibility of oil products; reasonable and rational oil prices via the sustenance of private sector possession and growth of downstream oil industry substructure, for instance, oil refineries, lubricant plants and pipelines provisions. However, Privatisation is the total transfer of government-held oil assets or firms to investors on a shareholding ratio. Simultaneously, a subsidy scheme is when fuel customers pay less than the market price of fuel per litre with the aid of the government via subsidisation of oil prices to ensure fuel user-friendliness for the residents (Babayomi, 2014).

Deregulation is the method of changing an economic system or industry from intensive government regulation to a system that is accessible to all interested oil investors, which is control by forces of demands and supplies. Deregulation is common to the downstream oil.

Precisely. Saudi Arabia is awash with wealth, dollars and Mercedes serving as taxis. This is because of what they have made of their endowment we have not been able to manage.

Saudi Aramco, though largely State-owned, is a hugely profitable oil producer and an example of what Nigeria should replicate but for corruption and hatred of each other, even visible on this thread, which means we cannot all unite to patriotically work in the same progressive direction as the Saudis have being able to do.

If their option is not available to us because of our peculiarities and lack of homogenity as a people, then let us utilise the next best option which is full deregulation of the downstream. Sector meaning profit drives private sector involvement, excellence and productivity in our downstream secteo which in turns can then contribute to Nigeria's rapiddevelopment.

https://www.investopedia.com/what-is-saudi-aramco-4682590

Saudi Aramco is the world's largest oil producer. Officially known as Saudi Arabian Oil Company, the company is primarily state-owned and is based in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It is the world's most profitable company, eclipsing even tech giants such as Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet's Google (GOOGL).

Is it too much to ask Nigerians to do basic research that enables them see the big picture instead of wasting their whole life hating individuals to the extent we can no longer appreciate what is good for us and our generations unborn.

Progress should be kick-started with fuel subsidy removal that will usher in an era of private refineries to always keep Nigeria optimally suplied with PMS etal, bring in badly needed foreign currency into our monetary system, shore up government tax earnings, improve our manufactueing potentials, secure exponentially greater employment for Nigerians etc, etc.

Nigerians really need to let go of hatred of individuals that is so deeply entrenched it is even making them blind to what is good for their own progress and generational wellbeing.

The problem with the average Nigerian youth is that they are mentally lazy.

They are all about instant gratification and hardly read critical topics to improve themselves and their ability to be self-sufficient or better solutions providers for their own problems.

This is why they are a generation who ignorantly believe all solutions must come from others. Never them.

They don't understand that one of the greatest asset of man is an open mind that makes us willing and able to learn from others to be more productive human beings and better solutions providers.

This is why their answer to everything relates to throwing insult at others.

The OP is very ignorant for an adult. She does not understand the concept of deregulation of the downstream oil and gas sector of Nigeria which is the ultimate aim for our nation because of the developemnt it can facilitate.

Any little 'teething pain' the informed Nigeria will know is totally unavoidable, considering so much has been done wrong for so long, is always met with the usual idiotic statement of "shebi APC and Tinubu supporters are buying fuel at 10 kobo" or "go to the market and present your APC card to buy food at 90% discount".

Just frightening to be honest if we consider the notion youths are the leaders of tomorrow.

Foolishness be damned.

So why was it opposed by the same Tinubu during another president’s time?
I’m just imagining how far we might have come if it has been since that time.
But Tinubu opposed it then because of his own future personal ambitions so those who criticize him have their points.

Please what was in place then to ensure the optimal supply of PMS for domestic consumption if subsidy had been removed? Did Dangote refinery or snything like it exist back then?

Believe what you want but Tinubu , even if he is not above the usual political brinksmanship all politicians are guilty of worldwide, is always sincere in search of solutions.

Jonathan was simply throwing hollow rhetoric around to decieve Nigerians as usual. Think about it. Remove fuel subsidy with comatose State refineries?

We would have experienced the mother of all fuel scarcity and social unrest combined with the worst socio-economic downturn in our history post independence.

Now Nigeria is fully prepared with the effort of the APC government, and Tinubu directly, to see the Dangote "game changer" refinery become a reality. Thst is how it is done.

I will not go in to any unnecessary argument with a tinubu supporter.
Jonathan govt published how it was going to cushioned the effect of subsidy but he was throwing hollow rhetoric around.
But Tinubu that organized mighty protests, calling subsidy fake,granting interviews up and down and today is backing subsidy removal without any palliatives to cushion the effect is not throwing hollow rhetoric around.
In 6 months to a year,I hope to start seeing the tinubu magic on Nigeria since his supporters believe he is some sort of savior and messiah.
If anything is hollow here,it’s your empty defense but then you’re a known tinubu supporter so your leaning is no surprise.
