Fuel Subsidy: Students, Workers Resort To Bicycles In Maiduguri by astana1: 9:43am On Jul 02, 2023 |
Some weeks ago, there were only few bicycles on the roads in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, but the city began to witness many cyclists after fuel subsidy removal by the federal government.

Bicycle business is going to boom especially in the North of the country with subsidy removal NE states are paying N570 per litre. NW states are paying 550 per litre. and SW states are paying N500 per litre. If I had money I would invest in bicycle business now. So many people are going to stop driving cars or will reduce the amount of cars they own. 41 Likes 5 Shares |

It is a very welcome development. Bicycles are very environmental friendly. The same people who praise the Whites for living a simple life are all here condemning what they commended in Europe and America. 28 Likes 1 Share |

What about those that can't ride bicycle? One thing that is very certain is that you can't avoid the negative impact of subsidy removal. Wether you choose to trek or be riding bicycle, you must feel the negative impact of subsidy removal cos prize of goods will soon go up. And one cannot do without buying goods at higher price cos those who transport the goods must add the price they spend in transporting the goods. I wonder how those who used bicycle in going to work will feel after arriving at their working place, they will be sweating throughout the day due to strong sun shine of the north. This will negativity affect their productivity, especially those who are teachers. From Abuja to Lagos is now over N30,000. How can you remove subsidy without putting modalities in place. FCT administration should bring back El Rufai bus, Obaseki should also purchase more Comrade/Oshiomhole buses. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Lol. Some persons say it is a good development. The political class continue to amass wealth & make no sacrifices while the masses continue to be pushed into penury & some people say it is a good development. In countries where riding of bicycles is very common, even elected government officials also ride bicycles, use public transportation etc, just like everyday citizens, so it's no big deal over there. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

astana1:[color=#006600][/color] That's my fear. In developed countries they have good credit facilities. A lot of people buy things on credit and are given a period of more than six years to pay off such loans. But in 9ja, one will expect someone to cough out more than N150000 to buy a smart TV, cars, properties, etc. That's why corruption won't stop. Those miscreants always supporting every action of the government not even taking account that government can make mistakes in policy making are just the bad elements in our society. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

9japride: You couldn't have hit the nail harder on its head. CREDIT!!! That is what runs the developed nations. The credit system is structured so that capital intensive or expensive necessities can be gotten on long term credit. House mortgages go for 30-40 years. Car loans extend up to 10 years etc. The creation of a viable credit system should be what the government have put in place while having zero tolerance for corruption & cut costs of governance. Do these, then you can begin to withdraw subsidies in non-essential areas. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

ivandragon:[color=#006600][/color] That's it, but our wicked mentality won't allow it work. Many of those big men/women don't want the lower class to run shoulders with them. If we can achieve a good credit system, criminality will reduce drastically. Since this government love taxing people, they should introduce credit facilities for the common man. After all them say "let the poor breath". 5 Likes |
