Tinubu the master strategist, great negotiator. Since he assumed office, he has been meeting various stakeholders, making them fall in line to his dream. First time a president will change the price of petrol and no industrial action that'll disturb the nation's activities.
Civil Societies Coalition for Fuel Subsidy Removal
I didn't know that in Nigeria we had a civil society group formed specifically for fuel subsidy removal. Where have they been all this while?

Are there civil society groups for free japa, for bad roads, for oil theft etc?

So it is the president that changed fuel price. I thought you guys said that by removing subsidy, market forces will determine price? When did Tinubu become "market forces"?

What exactly is Tinubus dream? What are the stakeholders he has met and how did he get them to fall in line with his vision?

Did he also meet with this civil society group on fuel subsidy removal?

Wrong timing, good policy. Why must Nigerians suffer extreme hardship and losses any time the useless insensitive leaders make policies or decisions which are supposed to make the people happy? Before removing subsidy, did you first put one of the moribund refineries to work so that you can bypass and handicap the bourgeoisie and fuel importers? Bubu stopped importation of certain products without making room for adequate domestic production so as to meet domestic demand. At the end, your policies and decisions ALWAYS CAUSE INFLATION and untold misery to the dumb Nigerians. Yeye pipo
How is the policy a good policy?

Guy… Jonathan era don go now….. Besides, Jonathan administration was full of corruption , no one trusted them… Tinubu never even spend 50 days in office.. relax this guy… don’t be naive and ignorant… jeez
Stf guy. Tinubu opposed subsidy during Jonathan era for selfish reasons. Now he wants us to support him 100%. Well, everyone including Peter Obi wants subsidy to go but Tinubu should have layout adequate measures to minimize its effects on the common man. It's only in Africa a leader will just wake up in the morning and take a drastic action on economy without providing a cushioning effects for the poor masses.

Why nobody is talking about investigating NNPC Book and check what is being subsidiaries
At all. Fuel Subsidy is the one that is committing the crime. Fuel Subsidy is a human being. No need to ask questions about how NNPCL is being managed . Let's all focus on removal fuel Subsidy because it is the cause of all Nigerias problems. Now that it has been removed, all the problems in Nigeria have been solved

Fuel subsidy is part of democracy dividends for the poor masses.
There should also be food subsidy, shelter subsidy etc.
Aside subsidy, what tangible thing do we gain from govt?

Subsidy is gone and gone for good, they can call for emergency meeting at third mainland bridge and each take a leap after the meeting.

Removing subsidy is good because it will stop government from wasting funds and enriching very few capitalist bourgeoisie in the petroleum upstream and downstream sectors.

How was government wasting funds?

How was fuel subsidy being used in "enriching very few capitalist bourgeoisie in the petroleum upstream and downstream sectors"?

Who are these "very few capitalist bourgeoisie in the petroleum upstream and downstream sectors" you are talking about?

Lol….. better wake up to reality…. There’s no good government anywhere in the world, no b only Nigeria people dey suffer…nothing is perfect anywhere…every country has the rich and the poor… that’s the way life is wired… governance has been poor before you were born, and it won’t get any better after you die… stop blaming Buhari, Tinubu, or any president for your misfortune…. You’ll wail till you grow old and die… even your children will wail about bad governance…. That’s the painful reality…. Better tighten your trousers and work wink harder…maybe give your kids silver spoon.. u fit give them silver spoon sef , make them waste am.. I’m talking in terms of reality, the way life is wired.. dey play..
I’m pretty sure you don’t get my point.. it’s a mental thing.. when you get to that level.. you'll realize your life is in your hands..

Even if fuel is 60 naira… doesn’t change a thing.. poor will be poor, rich will be rich….
PS: Ogun kill you for being rude to me. wink

This same civil society fails to back fuel removal when Jonathan removed subsidy
We should stop deceiving our self
We are playing a politics of tribalism which is very bad

Nlc north and west stated that they won't join the protest 2023
This was same protest the whole nation and the nlc participated in during Jonathan and as at that time price of things were too cheap yet we entered the street and protested

The truth is this 2023 protest didn't hold because of tribalism
We should stop deceiving ourselves..we should look deep into our heart and ask this big question
If na obi remove this subsidy wetin for happen

Of course we all know the answer I swear protest for dey everywhere

Jonathan wanted to do it more than 10 years ago, the west ganged up against him through their media and protest until he stopped.

Buhari tried, they did the same until few months to his departure, he stopped paying silently.

Now that Tinubu their son and a big stakeholder in the western media houses, the same media houses are now supporting him, every corner of the western region singing praises of this move.

What changed?

Why was it bad in 2011, bad in 2015 but not bad in 2023?

Make una dey play.

Preaching to the converted.
What is all the appeal about when the average Nigerian has accepted it has to go and it has gone.

What Nigerians are concerned about is the inflationary effects about which the government has said NOTHING in the week since gasoline prices increased more than 100%.

One would have expected that the government will have announced a series of inflationary taming measures ahead of markets of various economic designations so that the public is assured the fallout will be minimal but they continue to stand idly by while transport fares have galloped, closely following with certainty are food prices and in the next few weeks other soft commodity prices will surge.

By the time they wake up I hope the cost of durable goods will not have been impacted if not it will be over, Nigeria will be headed for serious economic problems. The time for them to act is now that price rises are limited to soft goods.

Nigerians should wake up to realise that subsidy removal alone is not the silver bullet that will kill the eternal vampire of economic woes. It is just the entrance, the door way to opportunity. The economy still has to be properly managed in a cerebral manner and with dexterity. And the battle against inflation is key as it is in all progressive economies of the world at the moment.

Nigeria should do likewise.

My only fear is that it shouldn't turn out to be another scam from the government.

That's how they spurned naira redesign policy and it turned out to be suffering and still no respite.

With the weed you always claim to be smoking, I expected you to be smarter like this.

Implementation stage of policies will always go a long way to determine the success of such policy, your GEJ did not do his at the write time coupled with his lack of actions as a president. But for Tinubu, a man who singlehandedly defeated the northern cabal, someone that rose to the presidency on a controversial Muslim-muslim ticket, a person that lambasted the sitting president by telling him to his face that he installed him as president and nothing happened, forget.

Just look at how Tinubu announced the removal, on his inaugural speech, a day many expected to be Jolly and full of excitement, he caught everyone unaware and before we all know what, the subsidy is a history. TINUBU IS A MAN WITH BALLS and that is the huge difference between the two leaders.

they are thieves ,the first thing Tinubu suppose to do is to probe the subsidy payment,let us know the cost of Landy petrol in the country and how many liters we consume daily with this you will realize fuel will sell less than 400 all of them are corrupt

Only 8m people voted for BAT...though he won the elections, but he lost the votes, right? About 15m people voted against him, officially. That's enough mass to generate good momentum if called for protests. Please do us the honour of calling the dissenters for protests.....if 8m are tribalists, call the 15m nationalists. Period!
