Oga it’s too early for all these. You people should calm down. It’s obvious this ADC is causing APC sleepless nights.

ganilas007:
It because many of you are always moved by words and can’t ask right questions. How can anything be lower when the subsidy is being removed in a short time. Same person said no matter how you guys protest he will remove subsidy so my question to you is removing subsidy will bring things down ?

He was asked a question in an interview and he had to reply accordingly.......over buhari's dead body would APC loose Katsina to opposition.

Ofunaofu:
Why didn't you say 'over your own dead body'? You're using another person you know nothing about to swear

Jayhome24:
Your first sentence put us in this mess we are today.

During Gej this was how people like you said Gej must go, Gej is slow, Gej is a drunkard, Gej is clueless, and so on and God gave us Buhari now see where we find ourselves.

I will vote for Tinubu instead of all these crooks in ADC, all of us can't be stupid twice. Thanks

watchindelta:
stop corruption. Subsidy is not Nigeria problem but corruption. Let the government stop mismanagement of funds. With all the billions n trillions everyone in government are stealing! You expect the country to do well? Our problem 💯 corruption. You know it bad system of government.

Landowner101:
You and who said Gej was slow, a drunkard. Was is not you and your fellow ronu bandits that conspired against a good and working GEJ. Or wasn't it your master Tinubu that spearheaded the whole thing.

Oga, enjoy voting your Tinubu, sensible Nigerians know whom to vote for. I will rather vote a Tree than vote Tinubu.

Jayhome24:
Don't knly vote for Tree pls vote for stone, rock, grass, walls, lizards, cocroaches ok good luck to you.

Ofunaofu:
I can understand Governor Radda’s pain, he knows the ADC tsunami will sweep him away come 2027, just like the APC tsunami swept most Northern PDP governors in 2015.

He should rather direct his question to his party, the APC, and to Tinubu, and ask them to tell Nigerians what they’ve done with the trillions of naira saved from subsidy removal.

Not this vague explanation the government keeps giving that the money has been invested in 'critical infrastructure.' Which critical infrastructure? The notoriously fraudulent Lagos-Calabar coastal highway?

Landowner101:
That will be even better

raumdeuter:
Good question but I am sure they will lie or dribble around the question

All the major candidates last election in 2023 said they will remove subsidy

Some will say I will return subsidy but when asked how will govt function that is when they will start rambling

Whatever they say, Ask them to swear by Bible, Koran or better still Ayelala

Jayhome24:

FatherLord:
One of the wrong moves of Tinubu after removing the subsidy is the way he went about sharing the subsidy money. That is why Nigerians are asking questions about the effect of the subsidy money. Is it not better to have left the subsidy and fight the cabals . As a Nigerian in what way is anyone having the benefit of oil producing nation. Many oil producing countries subsidies one thing or the other for their citizens

DeLaRue:
Absolute nonesense.

You did not tell us which country you live in where 'government subsidise nearly everything but no problem to the country.'

Mention the country na. Even Saudi Arabia has stopped 'subsidising everything'.

You think you are the only one that has lived abroad.

You are either trying to deceive people or you don't understand how the country you live in work.

I lived in the UK, my income (salary) tax plus Council tax was over 40% of my salary every month.

So, if I went to a hospital that was free in the UK, it meant the government was subsidising the hospital?. Absolutely not. It simply meant I had paid for the 'free' hospital through the very high tax I was paying.

You say people pay taxes in Nigeria, hence the government should provide subsidised services. Which tax really.

My tax in Nigeria is ...erm, less than 2% of my income (tax people please no come harass me o - you people don't demand for tax ). Yet, you want the government to wave a magic wand and provide Nigerian citizens with a fabulous subsidised lifestyle.

Some of the richest countries in the world have some of the highest personal income taxes too.

Personal income tax in Japan, Finland, Austria etc are around 50%. In Sweden, it is 52%. In Ivory Coast, the most organised country in West Africa, personal income tax is over 60%, the highest in the world. So you can see there is some correlation between high government tax revenue and development. Will Nigerians agree to pay 40% of their total monthly income in tax?

And remember many of those developed countries have been collecting taxes from their citizens for over 200 years which they have used to build their country.

Yet, in 2025, the vast majority of Nigerians still pay zero tax, yet you want to compare Nigeria to those countries.

As for electricity, I get up to 22 hours a day consistently, and I am not even in Zone A, or whatever they call it. While it is safe to say my experience is not replicated across the country, there clearly appears to be manifest improvement in many areas, and I hope with time, every part of the country will share in that experience.

Epin pawa has gave people sense, Hunger can't differentiate between regions

Putindbutt:
Stop talking ignorantly, go and read Bawa's new book, the former EFCC Chairman. He detailed how subsidy was a big fraud and a behemoth to deal with, even the litigation against the powerful and billionaires who benefited was an herculean task with years of litigation. He commended the Govt to have removed it totally. We can't afford to be borrowing to pay subsidy and then using 97% of our revenues to service debts, that's a very unreasonable thing to keep doing. Try and get some Education.

Pickieox:
This is not the question about bringing back subsidy. Subsidy is gone. Not that I'm crying over split milk, what pains me is the ball GEJ did not have when it comes to the subsidy saga and the double standard Tinubu played including his sponsored protest in Ojota, Lagos in 2012 is still fresh in my memory. I remember that Tinubu said subsidy is a scam. The same subsidy he eventually removed when he comes to power. One remembers the confessional statement Fayemi gave in a public forum about how they played politics with the whole saga back then when GEJ was in power.

Anyways, what matters right now is what is FG doing with the returns on subsidy, are they using it for the betterment of the citizens or they are looting it? I believe the latter is the answer.

Jayhome24:
Seriously I got you from your rhetoric response.

Ndooh!!!

You will be alright las las.
