Ojo Maduekwe and his bicycle comes to my mind;former Nigerian transport minister advicing Nigerians.

Did you forget that he had an accident with that bike++👇

Abuja — CURRENT campaign by Transport Minister, Chief Ojo Maduekwe to popularise the use of bicycle as a means of transportation almost claimed his life yesterday after he was knocked down by a bus while he was riding a bicycle to the weekly meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The accident, occurred 50 metres from the minister's Mabushi residence in Abuja. Two buses with registration numbers XB 349 REH and XE 787 ABC had at the Banex intersection, with one of the vehicles knocking the minister into a ditch.

You and who would do the revolution? The Unity in Nigeria coat of arm is just for fancy. Everything there is just for fancy.

Igbos have tried to protest but the Yorubas asked them to stay in their region and do the protest, reason they have completely decided to stay out of protest.

Hausas on the other hand have also refused to protest simply because they feel they still have a hold of the government.

Lastly, most Yorubas are also very okay with his policies. Like the last thing they want, is to see him step down for any reason.

I can't wait for tinubu fearful return in 2027. 🤣 People will be dropping dead on the streets if care is not taken. Una still dey eat moi moi. Tribalism will choke us all.

you can vote and rig massively in your region for your preferred candidate but you can’t stay in your region and protest,no be juju be that

Nigerians are suffering so bad especially the poor ones. to fuel your car these days you have to be rich, very rich.

It's getting out of hands and Nigerian politicians don't care since they have a lot of stolen money to spend.

DeOTR:
Please add one more column for subsidy per liter.

2012 (Jonathan)
• Before: ₦65/litre
• After removal: ₦141/litre
• Later adjusted to: ₦97/litre
• ➤ Increase: about ₦76/litre

• Before: ₦185/litre
• Immediately after removal: ₦1400/litre (varied by location)

2012
• About ₦1.3 – ₦1.5 trillion per year

2023
• Estimated ₦4 – ₦6 trillion per year

Most people here want a subsidy apparently.

It would cost ₦1000 per litre of fuel or 600 million naira daily to keep fuel at ₦200 at the pump. If oil continues to rise , the cost goes up

That could hit our budget badly and also could drain our reserves and the windfall from high oil prices

And the resulting deficit will trigger more borrowing

Which will bite us badly later on.

As harsh as it sounds we don't need a subsidy

Yeah, I still blame APC for not diversifying the economy. That would have yielded some revenue to pay for limited subsidies

Any human being still supporting this ev11 party, should have his/her brain re-examined. The person is menta11y deranged.

93k, na Lexus 450 class of car dey need fuel like Dat. Person with such car no dey face hardship, no deceive us.

The only countries that should feel the 'heat' are those who import petroleum products or crude oil - when they shouldn't be doing so. The US is a special case for reasons I won't go into here.

Some oil exporters (like one West African country like that) have no excuse. If a country has its own crude oil and local refining capacity, there's no reason on earth why events in the Strait of Hormuz should make the people in that country scream in pain.

Serious countries make energy security a priority. There is a reason why it exists.

Tinubu has no reason to contest in next year general election
He already said if he doesn't give us 24 hour electricity that we shouldn't vote him in

Lol
His supporters are already saying it's a political statement

Is the corruption not worst now?
Why not kill the corruption.
Why must the whole country suffer because few individuals decided to be corrupt.
As a govt why not just kill the corruption

Btruth:
It is well. But fuel rate had gone up everywhere in the world though.

It's not everywhere Pls
Saudi Arabia and many oil producing country didn't raise theirs
Nigeria own must different
Even USA isn't Upton 50%
Ours is going to 100% already
Who we offend

bluefilm:
Whether you voted for APC that day

Or whether you decided to go home like they ordered you to,

E don red for everybody

And it can only get more and more red as the days go by

Everybody must learn that lesson they promised to teach pitaobi

Inshallah

like bro,the other day here one tinubu foolish supporter said they will teach obi lesson next year,I was like teaching a billionaire lesson,like what will he learn..someone that might never has to work for anything in his life again but you tinubu supporter your life is miserable,poor,suffering, can barely feed.na you wan teach billionaire lesson..

Like you said when rain begin fall even blind man dy feel am..

The country is so pathetic that anyone that dares to complain about the hardship is automatically tagged an "Obidient".

omo freestyle,obedients and the s called apc supporters,we all go feel am next year make tinubu win first,like someone said here de*d body go surplus for street

Corruption is widespread and is seen in every strata or sector in our country.The corruption on subsidies has been curtailed but much is still needed to do.

When we are saying that things are hard and are supposed to get easier then is becoming more harder. This is a voice for this generation and to the youths, grind up your loins and focus. I know that when we all unite this would be come a story for the past and a lesson to other countries and nations.
I'm an igbo boy saying that Nigeria has more than we are seeing and we should come together and unite to find true freedom.

We are just smiling and laughing

Things are not getting better and there isn't any light at the end of the tunnel

Nairaland supported this useless Government I'm afraid they will remove this comment

MUST YOU DRIVE CAR

The reality is that $1 is equal to 1litter of fuel is that crazy.

LagosOrigin:
Many Nigerians have parked there cars permanently because of tinubu hardship

Tinubu should resign and apologize to Nigerians for his massive failure all around the country .

He's a disaster

Before Tinubu when obj Jonathan buhari was in power did you praise them then ??

Thank you. I believe you see the reason we can't continue to pay subsidy. By now, we would have been spending half of our annual budget on subsidy payments.
My problem with Tinubu is that, he has not apologized for participating in the protest that forced Jonathan hands into bringing back subsidy.

As an oil producing nation it is an aberration to buy fuel at such a wicked amount...go to Libya which is also an oil producing country but are refining their crude and not importing petrol, the citizens are not affected by the war in Iran or the strait of hormuz blockade and their fuel is relatively cheap

boldmkay:
It's too cheap compare to other countries 😕

Dogalmighty17:
The world street journal is projecting that by the third week of April, crude will exceed 170 dpb. You've heard of the strait of Hormuz. Let me introduce you to Bab el-Mandeb. Another strait in the Red sea where crude oil ships pass. Who controls this strait? The Houthis. Who are the Houthis aligned with? Iran.
So with Hormuz closed and Bab el-Mandeb joining it sometime in the future, we can all kiss our asses good bye.

Why is it not affecting Libya who is also an oil producing nation like Nigeria...the reason is because we decide to abandon our refineries unlike Libya who refine theirs and as such making life easy for their citizens without being affected by the whole price increase wahala

It's a lie...Libya isn't feeling it because they have no business with fuel importation as an oil producing nation..their price is so cheap compared to us wey be oil producing nation yet we dey import

Nigeria is currently facing a serious rise in the cost of living, and fuel prices are at the center of the crisis. Many Nigerians are now sharing their real-life experiences, and the situation is becoming alarming.

In this video, we highlight shocking reactions from Nigerians who say that ₦100,000 is no longer enough to fill a car fuel tank. One individual revealed spending over ₦93,000 just to fill up, while another claimed to have spent more than ₦300,000 on fuel in just one week. These are not isolated cases — they reflect what millions of Nigerians are going through daily.

With unstable electricity supply, many households and businesses rely heavily on fuel to power generators. As fuel prices continue to rise, the cost of transportation, food, and basic living also increases. This has led to growing frustration across the country.

Some people are even pointing out that major roads, including the Third Mainland Bridge, appear less busy than usual — a possible sign that fewer people can afford to move around like before.

Nnaa Odikwa Serious. Among the Super rich of Nigeria. A conversation about Nigeria's current economy would go like this.

"Double Chief Alhaji Aladaje, sir, look at how Nigerians are complaining about having to pay 95K naira to fill the petrol tank of their cars."

"My brother, I am reading the same news, but their complaint is baffling, when all they need do is send whichever driver is on duty to go and pay the 95K naira for a tank of petrol."

"Double Chief, I wonder o. Can you believe they are also complaining that the national power grid has a habit of grossly overcharging them for electrical power that is rarely supplied to their houses"

"You see again? Lodging complaints is their cherished hobby. It is like a religion for them. Instead of them investing in an automated switch that transfers their home to solar power supply whenever the national grid is down, they are relying on their semi-literate gateman or swimming pool attendant to operate a manual switch whenever the power fluctuates."

"No be small ting, sir. All they ever do is complain. If they had devoted to prayer even a fraction of the mental energy that they waste in complaining, they would be wealthy like you, sir By the way sir, the 50th Anniversary remembrance prayers of my uncle's senior pastor's third wife, has now been scheduled in their village this coming weekend, and I was wondering if...."

"Shut up, and help me summon those university girls over to come and pay their respects to me. Pay back the 12 million you already owe me as promised, then MAYBE you can look to me for more acts of kindness."

As an oil producing nation we have no business with fuel importation in the first place...take a look at Libya that is also an oil producing nation but are not importing now tell me what business they have with the war in Iran that will make their citizens suffer buying fuel at breakneck prices

No not in Libya
