Not holding brief for PMB,falana mafe some valid points,but the reality is that fuel subsidy,price control,fx fixed rate must go if we are to move forward,all opec countries have increased price of PMS,their currency weakened against the dollar,if the price of oil should go up,government will have to pay more for subsidy,naira is no more 145 at the black market,we dont have dollars in the reserves,the avengers are blowing up pipelines and gas lines,Man will die only o

Owamudia:
Falana should just sharrap there.

We've had enough of the subsidy scam.

By the way, the 'Benue bad omen' is yet to come and display his lunacy.

Jesusloveyou:
but pmb has given u ipod the change u so desire, when pat utomi and ezekwesili,were accusing him of taken us 30yrs back with his archaic policy, falana were sleeping, when u ipod were insulting pmb everyday for his hard stand, u ipod join imf and world bank to accuse him of not devalueing everything. i tot u ipod should be happy. God bless pmb for listening to the masses cry, especially the ipod 5% wailers.

No right thinking activist that has the masses at heart will support this degree of hardship. Its so unfortunate. Truth remains that we will have this to deal with till the year Dangote will commission his refinery in Nigeria. As for Kaduna, Warri, and PHC refineries, their stories will remain the same becos they are old & inefficient. As for Tam-West that did some faulty analysis and promised that fuel would be sold at N40, he was just a tool to achieve victory. What I long to know is:-
From which continent do marketers import the fuel they supply Nigerians that it costs about N106/litre to bring to the shores of Nigeria before adding other costs knowing fully well that the price of crude still hovers way below $50/barrel?

"Oh Jonathan praise singers Oh sing another song!
Stop telling LIES that he wanted to remove subsidy.
He did remove it, we screamed and he "reduced" the removal and PMS was then increased from N65/ltr to 97/ltr.
Let's all remember that at that same time kerosine was "subsidised" for N700m DAILY for us to get it at N50/ltr how many of you bought it for that amount? Alas! It was sold for N120 - N300/ltr
Back to PMS...I challenge GEJ town criers to tell Nigerians what Jonathan spent the surplus of N32/ltr to do for us.
They should tell us how our lives substantially improved out of the trillions of Naira surplus that was made from a BRUTAL surplus of N32/ltr.
Name the palliatives, show me anywhere in Nigeria you can drive for 105km UNINTERRUPTED with bad spots.
Tell me how many Megawatts of electricity the trillions of Naira added.
Tell us how many kilometres of standard Guage railway line was built" - Anonymous

shugaboy6102:
you have a very very valid point but we can't keep going back referring to Jonathan his era is gone forever let's just look @ the present and future and see what this administration has to offer.

birdman:
I respect Falana a lot. But unfortunately, he is wrong here. I think it is very hard for most people to comprehend what it means to be a broke country. Remember, even Saudi that made much better use of their resources are trouble so deep that they have taken their national assets on to the stock market.

The painful truth is subsidy does not make sense with an empty treasury.

989900:

Subsidies are actually a good gesture, governments naturally subsidize the populace in one form or the other, but for the bastardization of the good gesture and the 'no money' situation, we all basically agree subsidy must go, but at the right time: when we no longer depend on imported fuel, or have greatly reduced our dependence on imported fuel.

That said, on the overall, after almost a year in power, I'm not going to make excuses for Buhari's government's inability to tackle pipeline and oil installations vandalism, and cross-border smuggling, nor am I going to make excuses for its inability to have the old refineries working or modular refineries chipping in their bits. The APC won the election in March 2015, enough time for preparations.

As it is now, what we have is a cosmetic solution to a fundamental problem: if we do not get refineries (old and new) doing their thing, should oil prices sell for around $70/barrel, or the Naira continues to free fall, then pump prices will go north, or reversal to paying subsidies.

Our only 'get-away' is to find a way to make the Naira stronger, and drastically eliminate importation of refined fuel.

And there is no way to avoid wage increment (N18,000 would be technically worth less than $40). . . which further aggravates inflation . . . at 12.8% inflation, it is already a travesty . . . I see over 15% inflation = anarchy!
