So why did tinubu fight against it and called it a scam wen Jonathan wanted to remove it for a reduced fuel price as at then?

Because Tinubu, like all Nigerian politicians, wanted to get into power.

It is an old trick most politicians use. Align yourself with a popular agitation/anger, make use of a crisis....and it will pay off long term.

That is why Buhari and Tinubu joined the protests, and made themselves seen. They were playing the long game.

Politics is a game. Winners know how to play it well. Even if it means using Machiavellian methods.

well,I was not fooled by bihari and tunubu, Johnathan was paying subsidy for Nigerian,yet some fools were blindly protesting against it, some one paying for your tax,
God will punish bihari and tunubu for evil done to this country

[b]Peter Obi: I will remove subsidy

Obidients: Thank you my President 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(Tinubu wins election)

(Tinubu removes subsidy)

Obidients: This man doesn’t care about Nigerians. He is a wicked man.

Hypocrisy runs in their blood.[/b]

Sins of the family

It’s such a shame some of these obedients are still stuck in 2015. We are in 2022 for crying out loud, move on and stop wailing.

If we made mistake in 2012 regarding subsidy, we should learn from our mistake and do the right thing now.

I knew that the occupy Nigeria 2012 was a big scam and a ploy to dissuade Nigerians from seeing the bigger picture. Most Nigerians are very sentimental and tribalistic so it was easy to deceive them into thinking the subsidy removal was to impoverish the masses. It will never be well with the masterminds of the Save Nigeria group protest scam.

Posterity will never be kind to some people because of their stupidity of 11 years ago....


Thank God I was never deceived.

The fraudulent Fuel Subsidy is gone forever

What I was thinking is that some APC and tunubu supporters would come out and defend it

A mistake we are paying for now.

While the blame for the 2012 mistake ultimately rests with GEJ, in fairness, Tinubu and Buhari should have stepped up and educated their supporters on why subsidy had to go.

Popular decisions are not always the right decisions.

tinsel:
Does it mean again, one does not change his position on a matter over time? All these past references are annoying.

If you don't want people to refer to your evil of the past, dont do the evil.

And has Tinubu apologized for his shameless "ignorance"?


So, you mean someone you people call an "economic juggernaut" doesn't know what fuel subsidy was doing to Nigeria?

GeneralPula:
So it was cuz of the protest Jonathan didn’t remove it?

Una go dey alright..

Partisanship has blocked ur sense of reasoning.

ezechi242:
jonathan was too weak for a Nigerian leader, he had every aparatus at his disposal to dismantle every nonsense the APC was planning, but no, he wants to be a gentleman in Nigerian politics.

besides his 6 years tenure was filled with corruption and insecurities, what nigerians never saw before.....i would say GEJ was actually the root cause of where we are now.

The bold shows that you were still a baby or not yet born when the military were in power. At least the recent ones, imagine Abacha loots being returned years after. Don't even talk about insecurity

inoki247:

The shiit should av gone then I guess Alot of people just followed the crowd den they don't know the meaning of what theyre protesting against..

A society where you've more illiterate than literate expect people been easily brainwashed even the literate act like illiterate....

Imagine this 2023 people can't go online du dere study on each Candidate profile buh waiting for derr Pastor and Alfa to tell them who to vote..

Is that all you have to say?? Illiterate people?

No word for tinubu, buhari and Co who masterminded the occupy ojota? Or you think we don't know who did?

Pythagoras001:
I have come to realise that having university degree does not necessarily equate with wisdom or been immune from the ability to be deceived or gullible. critical and rational thinking skills are lacking in our school systems.

For you to finally come to this realization means there is hope for you. Your father did not train you in vain.

I am tempted to believe that a capacity for critical, rational, objective, logical thinking has to be inborn. Because i notice most people are just incapable of this kind of thinking no matter their level of education or how well they performed at school. And over 90% of the world population (the so called masses) belong to that category; it's not just a Nigerian thing. That's why when i say the masses are more stupid than goat it is not an exaggeration. They are so gullible and easy to manipulate.

But there were no OBIdients in 2012

The thing is, Nigerians have always been opposed to subsidy removal. Even when in 2005, one of Obasanjo's minsters tried to explain how subsidy was expensive by using the coca-cola analogy (which backfired because it came across as insensitive, which was not his intention)...Nigerians abused him and called him names.

There was no deceit. Occupy Nigeria tapped into anger that was already there.

At the end of the day, GEJ should have called the bluff of the protesters, and removed the subsidy. And we were in a better economic position to do so then

Just like giving assessment before the lectures

President BAT is getting ready to resume but people are

Not even allowing him to settled down first

Occupy Nigeria of 2012

With the reality of 2023

Over a decade oh.

muhammaduyusufu:
That's politics for you. GEJ was a weak leader, and the opposition even though knew subsidy had to go used it against him.

Now you all know that Tinubu is extremely intelligent. He is the master of the game called Nigerian politics.

His intelligence was also used in splitting PDP into 3 (divide and conquer) just before the elections). Reno once said Tinubu has the face of a slow person, but he is extremely intelligent.

Was he weak or empathetic and understanding?

You are happily praising evil as a Messiah. Which kind of politics is that? GEJ is not weak but a good democrat because he listen to the cry of the people. Now the Power is in his hands. This is just the beginning of his confusion and more disgrace is coming for him. God is not a Man!!

Kingcalls:
Other tribes need to understand that the yorubas are the most envious , tribalistic, manipulative tribe in Nigeria ... they always want others downfall ...they are the real definition of hypocrisy... the only tribe they dontvm attack are the fulani cos they know the consequence of trying that ... reason they hate the igbos alot is because the igbos are the only tribe that speaks up about how manipulative they are ... Jonathan is not igbo but Ijaw , but Igbos supported him ... these same Tinubu and his goons destroyed his reputation thru the media

It is NOT about Yoruba, my Anti-Messi guy.

The Fingers Point to the Hausa/FULANI Northern Power Brokers e.g IBB, Abdul-Salam, Sultan of Sokoto,etc.
And some SW Muslim Elements. 🤨

These Guys NEVER wants a SS or SE Christian as President.

Even Jonathan Emerged by ERROR in May 5th, 2010 and they Quickly wanted Power back in 2011.

Now with Tinubu and Shettima, they have succeeded again.

Their Plan is to rotate the Presidency b/w Northerners and a Yoruba Muslims
And Ensure NO CHRISTIAN becomes Nigeria's President in the Next 40 Years!😒😕

no let me call you fool.

Check me out

All Nigerians owe apologies specifically to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

It's now I have seen what she really did for Nigeria... She is truly an Economic Genius.

Madamme N.O.I may posterity ever remain kind to you.

Reason I said the yorubas are our problem ... very selfish set of people ...they are the reason southern Nigeria is not standing as one

it is very easy to look back now, with the benefit of hindsight and say all who protested in 2011 were wrong and dishonest, but let's just take a moment and reflect on that event.
I still maintain that while removal of fuel subsidy was economically desirable, the way the GEJ administration tried to go about it, was very insensitive. To remove fuel subsidy in the middle of the Christmas celebrations was an immoral action. We all know the expenses people incur at the end of year, how could they think that was a morally right thing to do?
Of course the opposition seized on it and lead the protests, that's what oppositions do. The ultimate responsibility for that sad event lies with GEJ and his advisors.
Just to be clear, I am in no way shape or form an APC supporter, I think they are a cancer on the Nigerian state, but that does not mean we should not tell the truth at all times

Pythagoras001:
unfortunately I was also part of that protest. I galvanised my siblings and my mum. my dad was the only person who didn’t buy into it. he kept warning us until he gave up because it was him against many. same thing with buhari election. I have come to realise that having university degree does not necessarily equate with wisdom or been immune from the ability to be deceived or gullible. critical and rational thinking skills are lacking in our school systems. less than one year after buhari first term I realize it was all part of a well designed fraudulent scam to win the 2015 elections.

@Bold:

Well said.

A lot of people lack critical thinking skills.

People were fighting what they didn't understand.
I got to know it's a scam far back 2010/2011.
Then I was managing one of my uncle's gas station ⛽.

He travelled to Germany and I was attending meetings on his behalf.

Dem!!!!

People need to understand his this scam works. But BAT shouldn't have just announced it this way.

We will be alright some day .

If you live to see it ..... Good

If you don't live to see it.... good

All the best !

We are buying voters card if you are interested to sell your own DM me.

Most people are blaming Buhari, BAT, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Pst Bakare, APC, Onochie, Falana but critically forgetting the role Nigerian Labour Congress and its affiliate TUC played in frustrating the subsidy removal.
