How many times will the government tell you that there are no more subsides? Regardless which day this war started?

Because they are dealing with you like servants, and already know u people will accept it.

Go and check frantic moves Trump is making in other to soft pedal for his people.

If the government know that you guys skin not thick to absorb suffering, he would find solutions temporarily, which is bringing back subsidy back temporarily, but for people like you that must support govt at all cost, they will continue dealing with citizens the way they like.

They criticized other governments before them of mismanaging the so called windfalls.

Where are the, 'oil was over a hundred dollars during the Jonathan regime crew', they have been conspicuous with their silence.

The fact is that most governments since the 70's experienced an oil windfall of some sort during their regimes. This time around it is the BAT regime's turn. Let us see how the money is spent or otherwise.

Remember, all governments since the 70's had paid one sort of fuel subsidy or the other up til this one. So without the so called wasteful spending in subsidy the national kitty should be looking like cave where Alibaba raided, full of treasures.

How?? When we are still heavily dependent on importation of fuel?

Importation of crude oil/refined oil means we will be buying at International-market-controlled price

Mba, we no wan hear dat wan.
Nigeria has been importing fuel since the mid eighties and paying subsidies since the 70's global oil crises. No excuse biko.....where is the excess money...

They asked Babangida for the 12 billion dollars windfall. We are asking how much has entered the Excess Crude Account (ECA) the past week.

All these populist figures that just like to play on people;s emotions should not be allowed close to government or leadership. How acan a presidential candidate who has even stayed in the US not understand the correlation between the price of crude oil and petrol?

The high price of crude did not even last up to 2 days for the government to make anything meaniful from it sef.

nairalanda1:

Allow me to explain why we are not making money, and it isn't just corruption

Sauce

That's the problem with Nigeria and why we cannot all benefit from oil windfall.

We spent 2014-date with chronically low oil prices, and debts were incurred, and now that the oil price has gone up, the debts have to be paid back

That is why PDP was unable to save oil money and APC Is having issues.

Nigeria needs to stop relying on oil, and start relying on industrial goods and services. And tax the gdp more. Anyting else means more borrowing.

You're making absolutely no sense.

“Nigerians Should Be Making Money From Iran War” — Sowore Blasts Tinubu, Dangote on Fuel Prices

Outspoken activist Omoyele Sowore has sparked a heated debate after criticizing the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and business magnate Aliko Dangote, arguing that Nigerians should be benefiting economically from rising global oil prices triggered by the Iran war instead of facing higher fuel costs. His remarks come as petrol prices across Nigeria surge amid the conflict, with pump prices climbing close to ₦1,000 per litre following increases linked to global crude oil spikes and refinery price adjustments.

Fiscus105:
Igbo president or any other president who has political will, will reduce insecurity drastically.

It's a function of political will. Anybody that caught, high or low should be dealt with, before you know, everybody will stop nonsense.

Because Tinubu has political will to deal with Malami and Rufai, does heaven fall now?

GEJ had political will and employed some of the best Nigerian brains in Adeshina, Iweala and Sanusi, yet the insecurity was as bad as the problem today.

I do not agree wth the statement of calling the Minister of Defence General Christopher Musa Foolish for his proposition of border walls to protect Nigeria from terrorist infiltration , such security measure is very needed for our survival as sovereign country, even Eu, shenghen and USA now has a border and control within their teritorial arrangement in order to curb out terrorist coming from ukrain,belerus and the balkan countries.. I for sure kow not everyone with a charismatic voice has sense so i rest my case.

Yes, the government is making more money from the war.

The problem is fuel price is determined by crude oil price. It is an international thing. That's why the price has jumped up in most parts of the world.

It is like that except the government intervened in some ways internally.

OK, so why is naira not appreciated but rather depreciating despite the extra earnings from crude. Russia and other oil producing countries are rubbing their belle with joy.

Someone making 60K is suddenly making 120K and telling you he has less money and you believe him!

LOL...the person in this case also has a debt of 500000 naira...thanks to years of living at 60k and having a growing family, or even growing needs, he has taken loans that at the time of the increase of his salary has reached 500000 naira.

So, what's that person going to do? A large chunk of the money is going to sort out the loans so he renegoitates his loan repayment...and pays 55000 monthly to clear it eventually. Meaning he ends up earning 65000 naira effectively, after settling his loans

Plus nothing stops the person taking loans from taking new ones as the need arises...

See my point now.?

You have said nothing, you are just same with the people you are condemning. You spoke from same bigotry angle, no difference between our elites across the regions, they only proof a neutrality/or good when they are far from power eg Elrufia,
Or may I ask you, which of the states in this country is above bar in terms of leadership and inclusiveness (in comparison leading cities across the world)?.

Subsidy needs to be restored. It is the major thing that Nigerians have really benefited from. Saying there is corruption in subsidy is the biggest crap. There is corruption everywhere. Wike and Yahaya bello will still steal the money

Sowore is clueless.

How can Nigeria make money from something that they barely produce? Nigeria need to produce 3 million barrels of crude oil a day to break even.

It was the likes of Sowere who protested against the removal of oil subsidies in 2012, which would have released funds to invest in oil exploration, refineries, and electricity power plants. The lack of investment in the oil sector is the reason why Nigeria is suffering today.

You're one of the 3 posters here who made the MOST SENSE about the actual reality of events in your post. The rest of these young posters are LARGELY clueless about the truth of what you posted right above.

Ever since the current Nigerian President came into office in May 2023, a lot of efforts have been made to discover more oil wells like those in the onshore and offshore South West of Nigeria in especially Ogun, and Ondo States, including the deep offshore Niger Delta and restarting production from dormant oil wells since the 1990s like those in Ogoniland in order to meet up the daily crude oil production to break even and the Federal government MUST be commended for doing that.

Iliteracy and semi-literateracy are indeed signs of carcinogenic diseases which destroy societies if NOT checked!

FG is making more money from increased price of crude, though there is scarcity now because movement on the straits of Hormuz is limited.

Let him live in ignorance. An Igbo president will not end insecurity; in fact, it will double because he is Igbo and Christian

So we are agreeing that the cause of the insecurity are Muslims.

Now we are talking. Christian genocide.

I replied a similar post here yesterday and I said we don't need democracy in this part of the world. All we need is a benevolent dictator. I am 45,years of age and I have been hearing up NEPA since I was a child. Take a deep search in countries that run a fair Authoritarian kind of government and you would see that they have discipline and believe in accountability.

Tinubu and his predecessors are all politicians and they use democracy to manipulate the minds of the masses for thier own selfish gains. Obasanjo, the pioneer and the first democratic elected president was a former military ruler but he still goofed in the name of setting legislators to pass bills. Of course, Karma will sure do its thing. All other president after him followed the same template and corruption worsened since then. If you read the pattern now, all governor's wants to align with the ruling party because of selfish reasons. The western countries that practice and promote this type of system has a long history of wuru wuru to the answer

Ibrahim Traore and some other countries have taken this course. Gradually they will get there. A God fearing authoritarian leader will eventually scrap the idea of Aso rock and enforce a good local government system. He would be a king and will be opened to scrutiny. This I have seen. Heads will roll and the western forces will oppose it. especially Britain and France. A new reset is about to happen. We can't continue with this trend of chronic alvarice. Evil has become the norm with this so called democracy. May God Almighty remove this fear from our heart.

Are you living in America, you are on line spewing gibberish you don't even know my location. What frantic effort is trump making to soft pedal for his people? Do you live here?
Gas is getting higher in the US yesterday I bought it $3.89 from $2.15 which is a massive increase, is it increaes in health insurance premium under trump, loss of jobs (92,000) last month, increase in the price of groceries? I can go on and on.
You people will stay in one remote place in Nigeria and be writing about a place you don't live and probably never step into. Millions are complaining here but you seems to know America more than Americans.
And what are you doing with your own skin? If I check your age people like you can't be more than 25.
Now go to Tinubu and get your subsides since you be oga.
