How Affordable Was Fuel For Nigerian Citizens Per Government; 1999 - 2026 by obonujoker(op): 9:27pm On Apr 24
πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ HOW AFFORDABLE IS FILLING A 50L TANK (COROLLA) IN NIGERIA? (2007–2026)

Olusegun Obasanjo Administration (1999–2007)
2007: Fuel Price β€” ₦75
Minimum Wage β€” ₦5,500
Cost of 50 Litres β€” ₦3,750
50L Fuel Cost as % of Income β€” 68.2%

Umaru Musa Yar'Adua Administration (2007–2010)
2010: Fuel Price β€” ₦65
Minimum Wage β€” ₦5,500
Cost of 50 Litres β€” ₦3,250
50L Fuel Cost as % of Income β€” 59.1%

Goodluck Jonathan Administration (2010–2015)
2015: Fuel Price β€” ₦87
Minimum Wage β€” ₦18,000
Cost of 50 Litres β€” ₦4,350
50L Fuel Cost as % of Income β€” 24.2%

Muhammadu Buhari Administration (2015–2023)
2023: Fuel Price β€” ₦210
Minimum Wage β€” ₦30,000
Cost of 50 Litres β€” ₦10,500
50L Fuel Cost as % of Income β€” 35.0%

Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration (2023–Present)
2026: Fuel Price β€” ₦1,204.50
Minimum Wage β€” ₦70,000
Cost of 50 Litres β€” ₦60,225
50L Fuel Cost as % of Income β€” 86.0%

Fuel affordability improved significantly in 2015 but has sharply declined in recent years, with the cost of filling a 50L tank now consuming the largest share of minimum wage in over two decades.

Jonathan government was the most prosperous and Blessed government for Nigerians, but we allowed occultic and evil men take over.

However by 2027, we are dismantling all evil structures and voting in a people centric government.

I bet you were deaf or utterly drunk when that same Jonathan and his co ordinating minister of the economy were shouting for everyone to hear that the subsidy regime was unsustainable and had to go......he himself asserted that he lacked the balls to do it at the time and tinubu should be commended for taking the bold decision to remove it.

Every right thinking person should brainstorm everyday on how to kick Tinubu out of that seat..

His goons wouldn't tolerate half of what he is doing to Nigeria if another person was on seat..

To kick Tinubu out in 2027 is a task that must be done.

then why is your tinubu still borrowing money? What then is the advantages of removing subsidy to common man when he keeps borrowing and still no impact in the society?

Did your tinubu remove subsidy to suffer the masses or he remove the subsidy to use the money to dash the governors, senators and his cronies?

Was it Subsidy that made Jonathan's government prosperous?

Are you aware govt is paying subsidy on that electricity you are using in your house,are tou aware your farmers are been given subsidies on some farm inputs so they can grow affordable food for you.,are you aware your givt isn't making enough revenue to even run the country so they have to borrow..........are you aware all the monies previous govts before tinubu borrowed have to be paid back with higher interest rates and tinubu has to pay whether he likes it or not.?

Are you aware civil servants salaries have been increased by over 100% and more are still being employed yearly and its part of your subsidy savings......are you aware your govs are now getting quadruple of what they used to as allocations the reason is so they can do more in their states so the savings can get down to you,they are supposed to provide quality and affordable education for your children, good health care facilities for your family?


All these are subsidy savings being used for you ,if tinubu was to divide what Nigeria used to pay as subsidy and share equally ro every nigerian,nah only 18,000 naira go reach your hand......that one reach you chop for 1 week?

When did he say that he lacked the balls to do it
If I remember correctly, it was same Tinubu that gathered you clowns at Ojota to protest against him when he removed it in January 2012
Why are you trying to revise history?
When will you stop deceiving yourself

Stop comparing tinubu regime cos the control of price is no longer determine by amount of subsidy the government is willing pay which is a big fraud on its own.

Go and check the true consumption per day by administration, you will see that our true cpd dropped cos all the fraudulent and fetitious importers close shop since tinubu blocked their free money.

Here are now the people call for his removal so subsidy can return and the free dollars continue

You are not just dumbb, so the other governments had not been increasing civil servants salaries and they have not been paying subsidy on electricity? How many bags of rice can a civil servant of this tinubu regime affords with all his salary increase? Oga incase you dont know, your almighty naira is now worthless under this your clueeeeless tilumbu regime. Stop defending rubbish

But those govts were borrowing to pay those salaries,this one isnt,let that sink.......those govts always told you nigeria's economy will crumble under the weight of subsidies but they weren't ready to pay the hard price to redeem our situation.......ban on rice imports have already been lifted to make it more affordable to those masses you claim are dieing of hunger.
Re: How Affordable Was Fuel For Nigerian Citizens Per Government; 1999 - 2026 by santopelele(m): 1:52pm On Apr 25
How much has your tinubu borrowed to compare with other presidents who are paying subsidy?

Tinubu has borrowed over 90trn of naira without subsidizing fuel while
Buhari has borrowed 87trn and jonathan just 12trn naira while they are still paying for subsidy. so why is your almighty tinubu still borrowing money after removing petroleum subsidy? Una no get shame for this country at all
