Mumu people..
Remove this, remove that. Instead of them to push for accountability.
Very lazy government, very very lazy cabinet.
Nigerians continue to pay for everything as if our resourses are for selected few.
Nothing they're bringing to the table aside making Nigerians go through hell from years of corruption by political friends.
Nigeria suppose be like US in Africa, give Aids and been able to sanction countries around Africa. A true power house.
Indirect control of their wealth and resources. But corruption already put us in difficult position.
Nigeria should be a country where any foreign country would want to align with interms of African affairs.
Spend excess money on defence. Standardise the educational system.
Ally with any favourable block without fear BRIC or US and Alies.
Diversify between dollar payments system and newly introduced BRIC payments system.
Mediate in conflicts, Host big events (Olympics, World Cup, UNGA etc) any event that will put Nigeria name to the fore.
Do sabi sabi in some cases.
Over shout any technological breakthrough.
Task Nigerian Engineers and technologist in partnership with China or Europe to laugh Rocket into space.
Associate with Europe, Gulf and America on equal level.
The checklist long... you can add yours.

It's good news, if the government is also prepared to

1. Let the sector charge a cost reflecitive tarrif

2. Enforce laws against power theft, and debts.

I know say you must show face. IMF poster boy

Thunder fire FG ...

We that are in the south east or possibly those under EEDC are not enjoying any subsidy...

If they intend to stop owing, let them also bill those on the north same way we are billed..

Mindlog:
Why is it not good to day it now?

In campaign season? How do you promise by God’s grace, we will put a stop to this so-called subsidy in the power sector.
Who's very happy to hear that.

Make we dey observe.

DeepSight:
Oh, only band C is currently subsidized?

lol…. U pple dont even know ur right ..Subsidy is ur right… Its one of the ways the common wealth of a nation is distributed to reach everyone…. Without subsidy, benefits, or other forms of social welfare ur govt is heavily robbing the you

It is also why we lost four NNPC refineries, and why the electricity sector is bad.

Subsidies on electricity prevent the sector from making a profit. Say you budget X amount for electricity subsidy. Prices of gas can rise, and other costs associated with electricity, including maintenance costs can rise, pushing the cost of the subsidy higher than the government budget for it.

Since the cost of subsidy has risen, how do you think government would pay for it? By borrowing, and thus our debt goes up.

End electricity subsidy, but by all means, increase income of people to enable purchasing power for the market driven price of electricity. This is important so as not to further pulverise and pauperise Nigerians.

Next monday na sit-at-home for ur place

By that time,the so called FG would have been booted out

BeardGangJnr1:
ATIKU will bring all these subsidies back insha'Allah....🤲

Yeah... He will bring them back in Dubai or his village, cos he isn't getting near Aso Rock.

Tinubu has already won this election.

Everything else at this point is a mere formality.

[quote author=puremaker7 post=140473222]Our leaders are so wicked....fuel subsidy removal has not yielded anything [/quote

The word subsidy
AID subsidy remove

PHCN subsidy remove

Just hold ur life so that no one can remove it

DeepSight:
So you want them to practice taqiya?

Better left postponed if they're to remove it at all. There should be clear unmistakable progress in the sector before embarking on any subsidy removal. At they already did band A, B and co.
The tone is also ridiculous, promising by God’s grace, to put a stop to this so-called subsidy in the power sector. SMH

What exactly the direct benefits for citizens from the government? Even as a capitalist country like USA, their citizens still enjoy subsidy on transportation.

Yes subsidy is our right no doubt about that, but Discos are stealing that right with the current electricity subsidy structure. Customers are responsible for installation, and maintenance of electricity distribution items like poles, cables, and transformers still they won't see the light, but a a Disco somewhere is collecting fat checks as subsidy payments from Abuja, and still crying foul that government is forcing prices on them.

That's good.
Tinubu till 2031.
On your mandate we shall stand .....

He knows he's not coming back. Even in the advanced world, they pay subsidy on certain services to alleviate sufferings such as Healthcare (the Child Care and Development Fund ) and agriculture subsidiaed by America...some nations, it's education.

Should tinubu be allowed to find his way to power again, it would be so disastrous for Nigerians. He will also remove subsidy from waec fees which almost all west african bloc is offering their citizens free of charge. His rigging plans will fail him this time

Have you heard of Rat Race before? You increase income of workers (government workers) every other thing increases too and we are back at square one.

How has your life improved with subsidy removal of fuel subsidy

This is a scam

They have increased the tariffs in electricity, how did that improve power

We kick against any subsidy removal

What exactly are we enjoying from the government

no carry dis entitlement mentality enter 2027

Make you no carry this your fulishness is nter the 2027 o.

Can't you learn from the fuel subsidy removal,that has brought zero improvement in the economy?

Those guys up there don't buy fuel or pay light bills. Tax payers money is what they use for everything they do.

Stop being mentally enslaved my friend..

Of course it's even ill advised to mention it at this time.

The reason we have so much dependence on petroleum is because many people use it as an alternative to 24/7 power supply. The barber, welder and people who have things to contribute to the country can't do that and that's why everything is expensive because MTN will need to power its base stations, your food is transported by someone using expensive petrol, you cannot preserve the expensive food you buy and so on and so on.

Well, if you do not pay a cost reflective tarrif for power, you will pay it to the petrol station and the generator people for power. ANd you will pay more than you would have if you were all paying a cost reflective tarrif.

The people in band A are spending, overall, less on power than those who are on other bands and have to use generators and such like.

So in your school of thinking no salary increases ever right?

ATIKU is the right man to lead this country. Am from Edo state and I will be voting ATIKU coming election. I have taken 2days off from my job to go get my PVC. Tinubu is a cancer!

They introduced different bands and tulumbu said if he doesn't provide electricity for you , don't vote for him

How is electricity in your area

Avoid the 90 year old man

I don't believe in a price discrimination against Nigerians. It is even worse for this government that has been accused of destroying the middle class further dividing us with light. They promised to give to 20 to 24 hours of power daily to specific areas, did they do it?
That's why many communities sued the government because they were charged the expensive Band A rates despite still experiencing frequent blackouts.

Hmmm, not good to say this campaign season oh. This minister na weapon fashioned against APC. How minister go promise by God’s grace, to put a stop to this so-called subsidy in the power sector. Na wa oh.

This is transparency from the minister hahahahahaha.

This message should be translated to all local languages in Nigeria and broadcast through radio stations so people can prepare

Fuel subsidy removal has enabled many states to pay salaries without bororwing, has also enabled dangote refinery to become an exporter of refined product, and has also encouraged plans for at least 2 private refineries to be built, with the BUA refinery also being built as well.

It has also taken pressure off our borrowing and prevented our debt from passing 200 billion dollars.

And some governors are now spending on some projects...more jobs.

If you want actual sustainable benefit, vote out APC and vote a government that would add accountability, productivity and so forth, not one that would spend our grandkids money today to give you cheap fuel

Plus when we had cheap fuel, we were still suffering, and smiling. When Fela sang suffering and smiling, fuel was already subsidsied. Was he fantasizing?

That's what i said. What happened to promise by God’s grace, we will properly meter everyone or something? Just talking rhetorically though.

he should be sacked

Someone is paying 100k for light in three bedroom in a month, what will happen if they remove the subsidy. Nawao. Band A that they give us only 8 hours light in a day. Rubbish.
