which work be that? you mean bricklayer/helper?

kross01:
same people clamoring for low pump price are same people that will occupy naija if subsidy is removed today but then you can't ask for such low prices without deregulating the petroleum products market and allowing the forces of demand and supply determine products prices and thus private refineries can come on board

lekevy:
I wonder y people don't sit down to make research n finding, just jump up n write just to credit or discredit. Naija Government has failed n all we should b praying for is a good change n not trying to give credit to those do not deserve it.
You are talking of gas price in naija is cheaper to the US, have u sat to calculate how much an average Nigerian earn n cost of living? I live in Virginia where just a cent is anticipated to b added on pump price of gas n everyone is talking about it as if it's 10$.
Minimum wage is like 8$, which means $8 x 160 hours a month of labour =$1280./month, n 1280$ x 181naira = #231,680. While I bought a gallon for $1.45, therefore making a litter here =about #84.
Now how many Nigerians earn this much n anytime there is election that is when these people come out to do us the so called favour just to win our vote which we give them foolishly. Was there no gas all this while,y was d price not reduced until now?
Let us stop celebrating failure as if these things are not our right ,just because it's reduced should we start dancing n throwing parties.
Please let's pray,hope n look forward to change.
Long live Naija

I saw various posts on the social media, criticising federal government's reduction of gasoline(PMS or Petrol) pump price from N97 to N87. More worrisome is the fact that some of our youths join the bandwagon in the criticism.

I wonder why we have some youths of our country who can not make use of their brains to ponder on issues that would further enrich the country. Present day youths are being tossed around by the older ones and sometimes, by illiterates. ‎

Drivers paid an average of $2.2021 a gallon for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps of recent in the US (do some ‎confirmation) 1US gallon = 3.7854ltrs‎ ‎$2.2021 = N398.58 (@ exchange rate of N181/$) Therefore, 1gallon = N398.58 ÷ ‎3.7854ltrs = N105.29/ltr in the US

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, after taking into consideration, landing costs and other expenses, it is N85/ltr for the same litre of gasoline yet people are ignorantly ranting on social media and elsewhere. Between Nigeria and the US, which is better? What has happened to some present day youths in my dear country, Nigeria‎? Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan has indeed shown that he has the interest of Nigerians at heart.‎

BashMe1:
OP, U must be dumb to have posted this. So Nigeria's & United States' Economy scales are now same, o kwa ya? One Sense u dont hav.[color=#990000][/color]

pussyeater:
If he get one sense, it for better. Common half sense, OP nor get!

saxywale:
Minimum wage per month for a full time job in Nigeria=N18,000
Note: some people earn much less.

minimum wage in USA according to OP = $8/hr.
Full time job is circa 40hours/week.
40*8=320
There are 4 weeks in a normal calendar month.
320*4=$1,280

Let's use exchange rate of N175=$1
therefore, $1,280*175= N224,000/month.

Minimum wage / month in Nigeria= N18,000
Minimum wage / month in USA = N224,000

Azo:
Do you knw what is called "minimum wage"?

Op pls get ur facts right before you post anything, America is not an oil producing state, you just can't compare them with us when it comes to crude oil, u compare your stats. with an oil producing state.

Joel3:
[size=25pt]
one barrel of crude oil is now below 50$

One barrel of crude if refine is equivalent to 150 liters of fuel.

Do the maths

Why can't we own a refinery?

If we refine this crude oil in nigeria there will be no need spending money for imported fuel.

We could simply buy locally refine fuel for 20naira.

Oil thefts steals 400,000 barrel per day.

And nigeria only need free 250,000 barrel per days to power our economy, but only few people enrich themselves with GEJ.

This will only make us to spend for refining cost and by then it will be around 10naira if crude oil is free.

This will make our economy more stronger and the poor will feel the impact of a government. No robbery and kidnapping.

to power electricity and the whole nigeria economy is 250,000 a day. Oil thefts steals 400,000 per day.

Jonathan failed nigerians

Bros abeg which state sells at that rate 'cos I just bought at $2.4sth (mobil) in LA. I guess the OP lives down Westcoast, so he is right anyway. GEJ is trying but not good enough

duni04:
You're using both ends of the same stick to crucify Jonathan. When he wanted to remove the subsidy to encourage investors to build refineries and abolish the corruption in the petrol subsidy scheme, you refused. But now that the price of oil has gone down worldwide and we can't enjoy the benefits cos we still don't have any refineries, you want to crucify Jonathan again. You have to decide on exactly what you want.

Have fun.

verygudbadguy:
OP thinks we are dullards here.. Comparing the price of fuel alone. You have to compare d Per capital income of both countries then.
I'd like u to ponder on this too. "Venezuela are behind in crude oil production and they sell fuel now @ less than 10 naira per litre".

@OP It's easy to detect that you are one of GEJ supporters.

Buhari is our next President whether u like it or not. #ItIsWritten

anonimi:
Neither is the pension for expired coup plotters & former military DICTATORS in the USA the equivalent of N23 million per month. Or is it

Nor do SINators and representaTHIEVES in the USA collect N29 million monthly for doing NOTHING as is the case in Nigeria




Kai Buhari!!!
