FeelGoodAlways:
Times are definitely not nice to Nigerians. The streets are not smiling. People are not happy. You could see from their sad faces.

I am an undergraduate working as a security guard at night to help myself financially.

So due to fuel situation and the economic effects, I have been trekking to and fro the place, because no money and the transport is very expensive now. Today, I didn't feel very strong to trek back to the place due to malaria seriously holding me down. I approached my neighbor who is earning over 100k+ salary, minus side hustling to help me with transport fare to go to work. Guess what? He started by laughing cheapishly. When he paused, he narrated how he trekked back from work on Friday, trekked to and fro work today being Monday and not sure how he'll get back to office tomorrow morning being Tuesday. That the new transport fare has eaten deeper into his small earning that even before middle of the month, the salary had long gone. Last night, the children drank Garri to go to bed and this morning, the children left to school drinking only Pap and he put only N100 Akara for each in their lunch boxes. Sad story. He added that due to the economic impact of fuel subsidy removal, retrenchment letters for 3 of his colleagues in the office are ready to be served by the end of the month, and more to go.

Who will rescue us, we don't know? Sad truth is that the money that will be generated from this subsidy removal will not be put to use to the benefit of the commoners. It's just a plot to generate more money for the elites/thieves.

Could you believe that nobody could borrow me N500 in the whole compound? Incredible.

Well, even when I wasn't feeling strong to trek coupled with all I'm passing through financially, I just had to trek which I did.

I picked up this job because instead of sleeping freely at night and when the rent expires, the landlord would come after me + plus all the bills heaped on me, I could rather spend the nights here reading my books, sleep (even though not as recommended) and still earn some money no matter how small.

Finally, I would say do well to help people when you can. People are going through a lot. Not untill the start falling in the street.

*In mama P. voice* - "God will see us through".

God bless all hard working Nigerians no matter the tough times we face.

When they told you to vote wisely, you thought it was just play play.

This is just the beginning.

This is something I ponder on everyday and it's quite saddening. It's just as if the government is hell bent on making average Nigerian poorer and the poor becomes pauper...

May God ease our pain

It is exciting times. The last few months have been interestingly amazing. I have no idea why people are lamenting about their existence, when all of their lives is a reflection of their actions and decisions.

Haha.

I know someone on this thread will have 4 kids without planning and still be moaning and crying about the Government

Government wey noe send anybody.

I'm against this nonsense removal of subsidy cos the funds generated from it would still be looted and embezzled by our greedy politicians.

Everybody don pack car for my compound. Nobody dey gree drive go work again. By 11pm everybody don OFF gen for compound.

Boss..... U no lie atall

My neighbor parked his car for over a week because he was planning to travel during the festive period. He had to save cost so he could travel comfortably.
I myself have kept using my car because it is fuel efficient and my work doesn’t allow me do much movements aside from home to office and back. I calculate my movements very well.
I postponed a journey early this month when i calculated and saw I would need about 80k just to fuel my car to & fro. It wasn’t worth it. One has to just use finances deliberately judiciously.

The elephant in the room which no one wants to talk about is religion. How come this country is so religious with our elites of all faiths going on expensive and extravagant pilgrimages to pray for a country that they are tearing apart through corrupt practices but cannot build functional boreholes that will ease the sufferings of fellow citizens at home?

youngrichnigga:
I feel your pain bro! God will see us (ala Mama Peace). The real issues with the subsidy removal is how they suddenly arrived at the current price because they said the subsidy being paid on PMS was about N202 as recently as a February report. Now we are being made to pay N500 for a liter as against approximately N390 if we add this to the former pump price of N188, please who's fooling who Our labor leaders have become worse than useless

The politicians have successfully distabilize the labour unions by turning it into tribal unions. Our unions are now dead to the merit of the political class. We are headed for doom except we throw out religious and ethnic sentiments to vote for people that really intend and know how to make things easy for the common man.

I thank God we the Yorubas and we that supported APC are not suffering
We are having free rides to and fro everyday

When I told you guys to support APC Una no gree , We dey get free 10 litres of fuel everyday

VeeVeeMyLuv:
This country has been retrogressing under APC

Nigerians can no longer afford basic things of life they could conveniently afford in 2014.

Nigerians wake up and take back your country.

Well said. Watch out the masses will take over the street very soon . ENDSARS na child's play. Omo to ba ni iya wun o ni sun owun na ni foju ko orun.

I keep saying it. There will be massive protest soon across the country. Everything will shut down. No one will commit suicide again because of hardship, they will rather fight to live. Srilanka comes to mind. Aso Rock is not untouchable.

The day we begin to act devoid of tribe or religion is the day we'll begin to have things right. Till then, let's continue to play tribalism and religion. How can someone remove subsidy just like that without even putting any palliative on ground.

What is palliative? Food stuffs?

I have no reason to pity Nigerians because the deserve every bad thing, politicians used religion and tribes to control their brain

Apparently, and if the media is correct, they used exchange rate of around 650/$ to calculate the new pump price, instead of the erstwhile 460/$.

They were hoping to make good profit and get ahead of the devaluation. Unfortunately for them, the rate fell to 770/$ after the devaluation.

Now they have to raise the price again to around N600-650/l. Starting from the new stock that'll be imported from next month.

It might be a gradual increase tho'. It was 511 here immediately after the removal. It is 535 now. They'd slowly boil the populace like frogs to avoid a revolt. One day you go to the gas station, and you'd stare at 640.

Anyway, the positive impact on consumption rates has been immediate. Consumption rates fell from 68 million liters per day to around 40 million liters per day. That 25 million or so liters is the surplus smuggled out of the country per day.

The minimum wage and salaries across the board have to go up by at least 50% to match the prevailing economic state of affairs.

Sometimes i begin to wonder if we were born to suffer in this Nigeria.
the poor are getting poorer everybody before you know they will vanish from extreme poverty while some people are getting richer on tax payers money.

Why be say na poor getting poorer una dey see...
Some rich too dey go down and some poor dey rich... Abegi

This is exactly what I have been saying, what are the benefits of this subsidy removal to common man? It better that we buy the fuel cheeper since there is no direct positive effect of the subsidy removal on common man, it is better the subsidy remain honestly.

DevilsEqual:


When u give unrelated responses like this, it makes people question your creativity and ability to think outside the box

Even if we voted in Julius ceasar,he'd not have turned things around overnight

Sit downy friend! It's well. Over 8 years since this government came to power, yet we haven't seen any real possible change! Are we going to wait till eternity before we see the desired change or " a little bit of change "?

The truth is that it is a hard time right now
A period that we should be extending our helping hands to one another but unfortunately people start taking your kindness for granted... not easy for any one out there, can't say for people with illegitimate source of income
