APC propagandist forming saint.
Your theory failed spectacularly Tinubu had to rush back to subsidy grin
Keep enjoying your subsidy. Your God tinubu has answered thee.

As for me, I remain on the fence. Whatever you think of me. Some of you here think I am an Obi supporter even.

Good morning.

Will you be the one to be helping the government to get the money that they will be using for the assistance?
Mumu! Government go dey lie give you and other brainless morons that constitute the masses that they are broke. Then, they tax you more. Meanwhile, their whole allowances keep increasing. Anyone with a brain would already know that the masses are slaving for these rich minority.

People like you is the reason why the Government looks down on their citizenry and treat them like shiit

America has bigger deficit than Nigeria
That hasn't stopped them from subsidising so many sectors of their economy has it?
Their tax rate is higher than ours and they pay implicit subsidies not explicit ones.

But then again, you tinubu supporters love subsides without thinking of how they would be paid for. Same as your pals from other parties.

Ye are all communist at heart. Ye hate capitalism. Unfortunately things cost money

Subsidy is illusion that never exist. The term subsidy is an annual budget that goes to few political cabals pockets. The abstract oil marketers who never import fuel enriched themselves with the money at the detriment of Nigerians.
The failure Tinubu led government to provide alternative to cushion the effect of subsidy is the greatest error of Tinubu.

Supporting the principle of making a profit means you are a tinubu supporter, in the words of Farooq.

Well,I think realistically. cheesy

Too many people believe the above. It is kind of amusing to see such folk here
Re: Why Tinubu Must Restore Fuel Subsidies Now - Farooq A. Kperogi by nairalanda1(m): 9:58am On Aug 19, 2023
The problem again with Farooq assertion is simple.

He thinks that subsides can be paid for based on our one track economy.

Well it can't. Countries that have subsides also pay for them via the kind of taxation that if thiefdrugbareon brought it here, there would be protests

But in a way, I expect tinubu to bring back subsidy. He is a Nigerian. Most Nigerians love their subsidies

I no like GEJ, but if he had had a set of balls in 2012 of the steel kind, we would have been a major exporter of petrol by now.

Anyway, tinubu will soon bring back subsides. He is a typical Nigerian. Power matters.

For our sake, I hope he doesn't.

Re: Why Tinubu Must Restore Fuel Subsidies Now - Farooq A. Kperogi by CodeTemplar:
But all that neoliberal apologists in Nigeria do is regurgitate the racist, impractical, flyblown, ill-digested talking points that the World Bank, the IMF, and American conservative think tanks have fed them with.

They see sobering, indisputable evidence of the abject failure and cruelty of the economic prescriptions their masters in the West have imposed on developing countries but, like preprogrammed robots, all they do is repeat the discredited and unworkable ideological dogmas they have memorized.

They are ideological zombies who have a fixed frame into which they fit everything. If things don't fit, they force or ignore them. That’s why they come across as unfeeling, sadistic ideologues.

With what is attached to the subsidy regime, it's a criminal that benefits from the crime that will call for it to come back.
Subsidy is gone forever. Amen!
You are wrong about this because that's what everyone thought before the said subsidy was removed, but after the removal of the subsidies it has now became obvious that subsidy is the only thing that every single person benefits from.

And if you believe that some group of people are embezzling the money meant for the subsidies then what stops you from prosecuting them?

Even a blind man can easily tell the untold hardship the removal of this subsidy has brought on the citizens.

Subsidy is a scam.
Apart from the fact that petrol subsidy made it affordable to the common man, payments of subsidies also stimulated the economy. Have you all seen how how every organisation is grappling with post subsidy removal problems, downsizing, closing down and reducing number of work days for staff? These are terrible indices for any economy.
Government is afraid to fight corruption and instead throwing hardships to her citizens. How many of you have married at the moment? For those of you who are yet to marry, you don't know what really awaits you grin grin grin

Governments in Nigeria have no record of probity in the use of public funds. But, somehow, some Nigerians have been persuaded that money realized from the removal of subsidies will be exempt from the corruption that is the fate of all public money. Agreeing with the propaganda that subsidies are bad and should be removed to save money for infrastructure is the severest form of self-annihilating mass hypnotism I've seen in my life.

It's only Third World countries that the IMF and the World Bank recommend soulless, conscienceless, laissez-faire capitalism for and, because our leaders are sadists and mean-spirited and many followers are clueless and ignorant, they embrace their self-immolation with smiles and pride.

Subsidy is effectively assistance. If truly petrol subsidy was fraud ridden, a good govt could have equally scrapped it and put another form of assistance that's almost as effective in place of it.
But the corrupt govt of uncle Bola removed it and proposed a one time palliative. That's like denying a child snacks indefinitely in exchange for extra snacks for a week or two

What the government needs to do, and they ought to have done that already, is significantly increase salaries of employees and provide other reasonable palliatives (Not N5billion to each state and some trucks of rice!! What would the people do when they finish eating the rice?) to cusshion the effects of the removal. Provide incentives to businesses and of course businesses can also sort themselves out by increasing prices of what they offer to cover increased costs

Same day he announced subsidy removal, he ought to have announced wage increases. If subsidy is being removed and which is going to save the country trillions and benefit the country over the long term, it makes sense that a good chunk of that savings be applied to cushion the immediate harsh effects of the withdrawal immediately and up at least a year......Employees and businesses will eventually adjust but that will take some time...

PMS is not necessarily more expensive in Nigeria than elsewhere but wages & incomes in Nigeria are definitely very poor
have you compared other oil producing countries to that of Nigeria?

Where are the refineries? You don't remove subsidy out of your own inefficiency.

You make zero sense, 30k hireling

FuckTheMod:
Tinubu doesn't need to restore fuel subsidy. It is criminal and evil that Nigeria, THE BIGGEST ECONOMY IN AFRICA AND THE LARGEST OIL PRODUCER DOES NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONAL REFINERIES. Yet, government keeps spending millions of dollars yearly on maintenance of something that's not working and we also have ɓastards that calls themselves NNPC and finery staff collecting salaries EVERY MONTH for many years now.

Some fooIs will even be saying that fuel is very cheap in Nigeria @570 per litre. How can you fooIs be making comparison with countries that doesn't produce oil?
If you want to make any comparison, compare Nigeria with
- Angola
- Venezuela
- Saudi
- Russia etc.

NIGERIANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BUY A LITRE OF FUEL FOR MORE THAN ₦200 EVEN WITHOUT SUBSIDY.
Why not fix refineries before removing subsidy ?

There's nothing corrupt about subsidy

As far as nigeria don't have a functional refinery, nothing wrong in enjoying subsidize fuel

Removing subsidy is not cruel Mr. Farooq or whatever you call yourself. The subsidy only enriches the rich and improvise the poor. It’s only a few super rich that’s benefiting from the subsidy.
