U no go know where the money go cause na hatred feel your mind.
U no see am allocation increase drastically na there them push all the money , blame your governors senators and the likes
Dollar has also increased so the allocation value is not significant.

There are ways to increase state revenue and government revenue, but my experience here shows that most of you don't want to hear it

Subsidy had to go because by august 2022 we no longer had money for it.

Heck we were even struggling to pay for subsidy from 1990. That's why we had fuel queue back then till 2024.

Obi would have done the same thing tinubu did. Not because he is like tinubu, but because there was no choice when 90% of revenue was going to service debts. Even the money budgeted for subsidy till June 2023 , a lot of it was non existent.


Forget politics and what anyone says to you. We should have removed subsidy in 1992/3. We didn't listen. Here we are
God bless u

The only people supporting obi on this rubbish are his blind followers who don't know about economy.

Buhari paid subsidy till june n there was no provision for subsidy n a new president will b sworn in by may, so if obi were to b d new president where will he get d money to pay subsidy?

Which country or body will give a newly elected president loan?


Like seriously I don't see those obedient people as intelligent at all

They just swallow everything hook line n sinker


No wonder they believe Buhari was cloned without knowing d meaning of cloning

Someone who didn’t exactly shine in a small state like Anambra is now being treated like Nigeria’s solution. Shows how tribalism can make people overlook facts just to support ‘their own.

Like seriously it is now that I really understand that obi is just playing to the gallery, the guy is just looking for cheap fame.


Let's analyze using common sense, Buhari paid subsidy till June and made only provision till June in the budget for subsidy.

A new president took over in may 29, meaning he had just few days subsidy provision in d budget will lapse.


Now obi is telling us he will use another way to tackle it,obi should b asked d following questions

Will he borrow immediately to make provision for subsidy?

Where will he get money to subsidize before using his own method?

Which country or body will give a new president loan?

The reality is that obi knows the kind of people he's talking to that they won't bother to check

If not they should ask him those 3 questions n watch him go numb
Re: Nothing Wrong With Fuel Subsidy Removal - Peter Obi by ufotunang: 4:23pm On Jun 09, 2025

Funny how the same 'amazing ideas' your messiah couldn’t use to fix Anambra in 8 years are now supposed to fix Nigeria. Keep fooling yourself
Re: Nothing Wrong With Fuel Subsidy Removal - Peter Obi by stepaside1: 4:24pm On Jun 09, 2025
No money was saved from subsidy removal. We only stopped borrowing money we did not have to fund subsidy hence fixing the hole in our fiscals. We need to pay off all those loans taken to fund subsidy before we start enjoying 'subsidy savings'. That can still take another 2- 4 years in my opinion.

Budget was fixed under the premise that oil would be at least 75 dollars per barrel this year. Even then govt still had to borrow 13 trillion .

Oil has been between 60 and 70 dollars this year. Even as low as 59 dollars this month.

A scary fact..we need oil to be at 103 dollars per barrel to have a budget without borrowing. That's the least price.

If tinubu listened to you and stopped boorwing, by now salaries and wages would not have been paid for 3-4 months and there would even be no money for national assembly member self. And no money to pay debts. We would have defaulted and IMF would have come to exact their pound of flesh.

I am saying this to you to explain, not to defend. Apc is the cause of the above . You promise diversified economy in 2015 , nothing happens..and tinubu even has no plans for diversified economy self.

There was no money for subsidy yet there was billions to renovate common VP villa, to buy yacht and to globe-trot. When you people maintain position like this, I can only conclude that you are irredeemable and it is pointless trying to bail you out. Enjoy your shackles.

Peter Obi is completely empty and only people with bias minds will find him interesting. The way he sounds like a crying bird always off me.

The interview is a complete waste of time.

immortalcrown:
But everything is wrong with APC's dishonesty about the subsidy removal.

The promised economic benefits of the subsidy removal is yet to be evident in the economy of the nation.

So, bloggers should stop twisting what Obi says. As Obi said that subsidy removal is not bad, did Obi say that this regime has been honest and prudent in managing the subsidy removal?

All the above would have cost less than 200 billion naira. , which if directed to subsidy payment would have paid for less than a month worth of subsidy

was it immediately he became president that he bought all those things?

Or u don't know it's not only Tinubu that is using it but dignitaries from other countries will use it too n it will uplift our image
Re: Nothing Wrong With Fuel Subsidy Removal - Peter Obi by Honestey: 4:38pm On Jun 09, 2025
Nobody could have successfully removed fuel subsidy by going through dialoguing with cabals who have been living their entire lives on it. This is why a soft individual like Obi is not suitable for turning around the situation if how Nigeria has become now.
Good intentions alone is not enough to be a president, it takes a tough individual who as well commands respect from across the country like Tinubu to tackle Nigeria problems. Obi should support Tinunu for second term and all Tinubu owe him is free and fair election comes 2031 to become Aso Rock landlord. I never hated Obi I'm just certain that if he were to be the one who removed fuel subsidy this country would have been on flame now because of serious protest and violence from across the country especially THE NORTH WILL REMEMBER again and see him as someone who comes to finally finished the north job that his kinsmen started in 1966.

Anyone who can take off Tinubu off that sit 🪑 is welcomed, the death is too much in the land.

And that's exactly the difference between Obi and Tinubu. Obi would not engage in such frivolous spending as you can attest to his frugality.

In the event that Obi spent lavishly, there would be huge criticism. But do you know why everyone looks on as Tinubu engages in reckless spending? He represents everything that is wrong with Nigeria.
