And what wonderful job was she able to do when oil was selling at $150? How was she able to harness this?

All these so-called repentant Buharists were never his fans anyway, they are just basically the band-wagon type. Shout "Change" when everybody is shouting change without even knowing what change is or even willing to be part of the change. Stone Buhari or whoever when everyone is stoning without really understanding what's on ground.

AreaFada2:
OK. Did you support GEJ's removal of oil subsidy?

When were arguing here that subsidy removal was painful short term BUT necessary long term, we were called Tanoids.

GEJ saw that running after prosecuting & subsidy scammers would be seen as Ijaw militant president punishing SW & the North (most subsidy scammers come from these zones), he decided to just end it. Because it's unsustainable.

Then people went into the streets, supported by APC.

Now eyes don clear.

authority2006:
No be today, gej himself introduced subsidy scam, then who did you want him to prosecute? Increasing the number of fuel importers from 50 to 148 overnight just to reward his party members introduced scam into it. President without liver.

Lagosians are wise... tested and failed should never be given a chance. If Buhari fails too, I trust Lagosians will not give him second chance come 2019. Lagosians are not stereotypic in their thoughts. #ILoveLagosians

Goldenboy007:
What da heck !!! Did someone post this online? Are black people cursed to poverty ?? For once in this country's miserable history someone is trying to finally get it right and the sons of Satan would not let it be !!! Does it take all you these low life local scumbags to travel outside the country to realize you have been living in bondage? This man is your tribes man and he spoke extensively on their efforts to get it right once and for all and yet you hooligans would not relent in your satanic agenda to achieve a selfish ambition !!! My gawd !!! It's sickening !!!

Ibime:
Nigerians are fools. Leave them, they deserve their suffering.

They should keep wailing but just like Greece economy, even if they change Govt every 2 months, they cannot change the underlying economic condition. It doesn't matter if its APC, PDP or KOWA, the economic condition will remain the same.

An educated man will know to hold those truely responsible for his plight, but instead the Nigerian will be pining after the days of Diezani, GEJ and co like Israelites pining to go back to Egypt during the exodus. Fools who do not know the cause of why they are in the position they are in.

Right now Nigeria should have $180bln sitting in the ECA to weather the oil slump, but all the Nigerian knows to do is moan and pine for the people who shared their savings.

Abuiman2013:
I honestly don't understands how people thinks, we have been in serious mess for the past 16 years, we are all yearning for change, and we expect the change to come within a year? This people milk this country dry, we didn't complain because they know our weak point, and try to provide for us so they can milk us well. We need to be very patient and continue to pray for this government. Why has the formal minister of petroleum not in the country for the past eight month, where is Namadi Sabo? We need to rethink and thank God for this change and to pray to God to destroye all the saboutour in this country.

AreaFada2:
He introduced scam and he also wanted to end it? Common sense is not common o.

cold:
Uninformed. It's one word.
Access to smart phones and data. Assess-to evaluate.
Readread..what does that even mean? Ok i'll pass that as a typo.
Praise singers or fanatics? Make up your mind
So much for your very high educational standards..smh

nkpommpko:
prof. Comas and dots is that all? Well if I have to choose between your punctuation typo and common sense , I choose common sense . Am still not punctuating

davo3286:
Trying something new and taking risks without proper analysis and due diligence is FOOOLISHNESS...you heard of something and you jumped into it without giving proper thoughts is "MUGUISM". It is even more foolish that you tried the same members of "16 YEARS OF BONDAGE" who only changed their "POLITICAL BOXERS". Abeg take wisdom for one second joor!

TheGoodJoe:

GEJ wanted to handover the market to his marketing friends to exploit the money of the masses.

The question is, what did GEJ do with the partial Subsidy removal he used to hike Petrol price. Your guess is as good as mine. Down the drain.

AreaFada2:
Well I know at least we did not have this kind of fuel crisis or this amount of darkness. GEJ also brought train/railway back. Now Buhari cannot even get NASS dominated by APC to approve money to continue developing railway.

He built 16 new federal universities, about 300 Almajiri schools to combat ignorance that gives Boko and other extremist groups a large pool of youth to recruit from. Something Northern leaders could not do in 40 years in power.

Fertilisers and others were provided that boosted agric. Airports were built/renovated. People talk of Oduah corruption. Having used 9ja airports for around 25 years, they were never as good as during Oduah's time. The other aviation ministers before her that were saints, what they do?? Nothing.

Nigeria was even borrowing money to fund oil subsidy. Reducing subsidy meant reduced national borrowing. Not that the money to fund it was there.

Subsidy scam has existed long before GEJ. It simply got worse with time as powerful people got sneakier.
The only way was to end it.

Why would GEJ annoy his "marketing friends" by ending subsidy if indeed they were his friends? Is there any sense in that?

You don't have to continue lies against GEJ, elections are over and the saints who said subsidy does not exist have already paid 50 billion Naira, yet no fuel.
You can only blame the past for so long.

We dey siddon look.

magmack:
Now una don see una lyf?
PDP gave u d best petroleum Minister who served as d first female OPEC president. Una say na President Buhari una want.
Now light we no see, dollar we no see, commodities dey xtrmly xpensive, even common fuel to drive motor we no see buy.
APC!!!!! SHAME!!!!
We don see d change naaaa!!! Rubbish

You know something....why apologize to a woman who did nothing about the mess in NNPC....especially the fact that because we did not properly fix the refineries and add new ones under her rule.....we are in this mess.

1.You are paying N180 for fuel(it is still N86.50 in major marketers and NNPC fuel stations....higher in some independent marketers)....because the fuel subsidy.....WHICH YOU DO NOT WANT REMOVED....and which your new hero supported its removal....is preventing marketers from making profits....so as a result....they have to sell much higher than official price....or else they won't have the dollars needed to import.

2.Have you ever thought why we do not have the dollars for imports? It is because oil prices have fallen....so we can no longer waste dollars on everything.....we need it to keep up the naira....so that you sports fans wont be paying N100000 for a loaf of bread.

And if the subsidy goes.....you would be paying far higher for fuel. So...why are you complaining. Do you expect APC to diversify the economy in 10 months....when PDP and your new heroes did not do it in 16 years?

3.Ask your new hero why no new refineries were built? Even if the ones we have are working at full capacity....we would still need to import 23 million liters of fuel every day. And the reason prices stayed at N97-N87 per liter during her time was because...we had the dolalrs to import and subsidze the fuel at the same time. Now we do not...and now the decisions we made not to build new refineries has come back to haunt us.

4.Ask your heroes why at the end of their rule...they were still owing money to the marketers? That is why they refused to import...they were owing so much that they were in debt...and they still owe. Because....we no longer have the dollars to import since oil prices fell.

5.And is it now you are noticing we bought fuel at higher prices. I bought fuel at N102-110 during GEJ's time. I even know of people who bought fuel at N170 in Minna during GEJ time. And fuel in SE and SS was above N150 during GEJ's time. Indeed...it was only Lagos and Abuja that sold fuel at N97 during GEJ's time....in the very outskirts of ABuja.....fuel was sold as high as N140. during gej'S TIME.

6.What would solve this problem is ......removal of subsidy. But that would put prices of fuel above N150....the same price you are complaining about....but fuel would flow. You are complaining about high prices....and yet...you paradoxically do not want the actual solution to your problem....apart from five new refineries?

Nigeria needs at least 23 million extra liters per day...in addition to the new 17 million liters of fuel per day.Some even put it at 53 million extra liters per day!

Abeg...why apologize to someone who spent all the time in office doing nothing to solve the problem....and hiding the problem via massive dollar influx to import fuel to paper the cracks. Nigeria needs new refineries and removal of subsidy. Things that your new heroine did not do ...and before anyone calls me zombie....things that the new APC govt must do if they want to sort this issue out once and for all.

Nigerians....

YouthsPC0:
APC cooked up every lie in the book and Nigerians believed them , Nigerians known worldwide for empathy went after this womans jaugular on her sick bed as she battles for life treating cancer.

Those who said subsidy was scam paid 500 Billion in subsidy in just 4 months in office , this same people can still not provide Fuel in 5 months.

Now that the truth is gradually emerging people are realising that they have all be used, the painful part is that these guys allowed themselves to be fooled by an an illiterate!

May God Help us to help ourselves!!!!

abuwasilah:
Sorry for your ignorance and lack of information. Please go to google and find out about the life her children (SONS) lived while she was in office. This will surely tells you the havoc they/she caused this beloved country and how the money meant for me and you was scoundrel by some few individuals. Why is she returning money back to fed. govt.? Why is she running after some personality that will talk to Buhari immediately he was sworn to office last year.

BlackPencil:
Una never see anything.

What a useless country! If you're well to do,save and birth your kids abroad and give them that citizenship. No hope in this zoo.

TheGoodJoe:

All these long story does not change the fact that Crude Oil Sales have dropped globally and the price have dropped.

So saying things were not like this does not prove or add anything to the discussion.

AreaFada2:
True@crude oil. Similar happened during Yar'adua's time but life went on. It was no excuse. It happened in the 1980s too, so it's not new.

I did not expect you to comprehend it. It's a public forum and there are many ready for debate and ready to learn.

TheGoodJoe:

OBJ left $67 billion for Yaradua to fight the economic challenges. So how do you expect the situation to be the same this time with limited resources in the reserves?

AreaFada2:
Fuel price was already going down. The infrastructural & other investments done by GEJ pushed our economy to largest in Africa. It cost money.

We are still waiting for this government to prove the alleged $50 billion missing money and others. The way they were foaming in the mouth when they first came to power, one thought they had solid evidence and will easily send all of PDP to jail in 3 months.

Now, the govt has to resort to disobeying court orders.

otemanuduno:
So far so good, this 1 year is better than the 16years of PDP reign. You are a stereotypic type who will rather remain in Egypt with Pharaoh's torment than get independent and suffer with Moses in the wilderness for a while. You are like the type who never got to the promised land because of grumbling and murmuring. SMH for you.

TheGoodJoe:

You are diverting the talk. You tried making it look as if things would have been better with GEJ. I proved to you is not true.

If you can not prove it is different leave it.

Fooolishness is when you know that the so called promise land is scam but stupidly swallowed it hook line and sinker. I still maintained that lagosians are the biggest 'mugu' in all of these. If e dey pain u go drink otapiapia.
