Tinubu needs to stop this immediately.....I supported subsidy removal,naira devaluation,telecoms tarrif review,tax reforms.....but this one is a no no!! If it's expedient but the timing is totally wrong.

He needs to remove it. Nigerians want quality and we’re not ready to pay for it. The west that we all want to copy so bad, if we check their amenities, they are working. But do you know how much they pay for these things?. Ask people you know in u.k , USA , Italy , France about bills, example light bill , water bill, phone bill, gas bill. It’s expensive but they are seeing the service.

I will stick to my illegal connection and that is my personal subsidy

THE MOST USELESS GOVERNMENT EVER!!!

Toh

This news means say you go steal more foodstuffs be that oooooooo!!!🥺

We will learn a valuable lesson.. Unfortunately some will be too hungry to learn and will make the same mistake

Just a brief comment here.

The fact is, the power sector is underfunded. All the problems, corruption included, arise from the fact that the power sector is underfunded. And no matter how much profit they may make, it cannot offset the debts they have. Already they have been in trobule with the banks and with state government taxation agencies for unremmited tax

That is why the government should let the discos increase tarrifs.

But most of you guys will shout poverty.

Shouting poverty does not change the fact that most discos cannot get enough money to pay for gencos and by extension the improvements needed.

Forget politcs. If a business needs extra money, they increase prices.

God abeg.

if this is what will make you have sense, Tinubu should implement it
Some people are slow learner

Tinubu ma to te
Tinubu they over do
He go soon disgrace himself
Too much of everything is bad
He thinks Nigerians endurance limits is infinite
I dey pity him

Releex:
Tinubu has said from beginning that he will widen the tax net and reduce purchasing power and people will still go ahead and vote for that bastard come 2027.

That is why Nigerians deserve no pity.

how much are they paying in the UK for electricity bill Tell us and let us compare with what is obtainable here.

If they initiate any hike on my current electricity tariff, I swear, nah me go mobilize people for serious protest, kilode, una no even want make people get savings at all, I'm under Band A and its killing already and you still want to increase the tariff. I knew Tinubu won't joke with taxes but I never imagined it would go this far....

Repercussions of
Tpain increasing petrol price from N150+ to N1000+ naira

And official dollar rate from N450+ to N1700!
But wages and salaries did not go up. Remained the same.
And he expects everyone to say Okay we will swallow these increases and keep quiet?

It can never ever be the same, otherwise the costs will be too much for these businesses leading to losses.

He is the one solely responsible for all these wahala.

He wants you to pay the same amount developed advanced counties like America pay for electricity! But the problem with this government is that workers here wether public or private sector are not payed the kind of wages those in America are payed. So it is impossible to afford these crazy high tarrifs

It's now clearer, the rush behind "subsidy is gone"

Subsidy removal for Nigerians is the highest point of wickedness from government...

see this one. Can you compare the economy of the listed countries to that of Nigeria. 100k is nothing now in the present Nigeria yet your hero of president wants to still suffocate the citizens to the grave.

I pay 10k for 40 plus unit for Band A, this is crazy. The unit just disappeared as i one AC omo naija no easy.

No complain since agbadorians won't be exempted

Yes, t-pain is a bad leader.

But let's forget politics. All this subsidy removal thing has been a permanent message since the 1980's. That tells me that by then we were struggling to pay them

Fast forward to 2023, and we were spending 90% if not more of government revenue on paying debts...that resulted in large parts from paying subsidy.

If we continued with what you are implying we should continue with, the debt that would result would eat all our revenue and any loans we take.

We would in essence end up taking loans to pay off our debts ...like victims of the loan sharks here.

Now, oga, I know you want to call me APC supporter....when I am not, and I despise them, but let's forget politcs....what would you do if debt was eating 90% of revenue.? And what do you do if your budget is 49 trillion, and debt is 120 trillion


That's right, you make some cuts.


I am not here to argue for tpain, or to defend him. I am here to tell you how much of a mess we are in from years of being too reliant on oil and oil alone. The same mistake t-pain is making now, because he does not want to take hard decisions. Even subsidy removal was not by his choice. IMF Is frowning, and getting loans was getting harder.

Babamide:
This current government does not care about any service delivery. Their only objective is to find ways to increase everything.
Increasing electricity tariff for distribution companies that cannot effectively meter customers and replace obsolete infrastructure. No single improvement has been witnessed from the increment of last year but another one is here again and the usual lie is subsidy.
Telecom companies too would increase there own, no improvement.

No their plan is to free up money for them to steal . They are transferring their incompetences to Nigerians to bear the brunt. Nigerians that have refused to align against their oppressive leadership.

He said he will widen the tax

So why are Nigerians suprised The President his fulfilling his promise

Oh shut up, you didn't support nothing

All these boils down to leadership. Leaders don't want to do the right things! What are the right things? They don't want to even do their work, and do it well.

Number 1 is fighting corruption in all its many facets/ramifications. By also Making hard choices to checkmate his friends and himself!

2. Fighting insecurity

3. Fighting cultural and religious practices that are not making us to move forward and choking the development of this country. They are too numerous to mention.

4. Employ the best hands to manage all the sectors of the economy by merit.

5. Conscious effort to invest in human resource of the country and increase human development index

6. Refocus, restructure education to emphasize rapid industrialization and infrastructural development of the country through research, development, innovation.

7. Others.
