Hello, please don't make it look as if we don't reflect on this thing before saying them....all this why we were buying fuel for 200 naira and above right..... so what stops us from bearing with the government for this period and see what happen....please learn to pray for this country....God will see us through and salaries will be increase just be patient

Almajiri1:
I only blame Jonathan for allowing APC bobo and bully him out. The masses will now teach APC some hard lessons in the next few days.

Ijaya123:
Was APC in existence when Jonathan removed subsidy?
Playing opposition shouldn't become foolishness.

Iamsok:
op, it seems you're daft and dumb. nigeria is in serious mess. note = #5 is now useless in nigeria because #5 can not stand alone and purchase something anymorei

Almajiri1:
Was PHCN in existence when NEPA held sway?

I wonder how foolish and blind some humans can get in defending APC.

Ijaya123:
What is the correlation between PHCN and APC?

Sheer foolishness on display.

Almajiri1:
I will charge you a fee to answer that cos I expected you to have some basic knowledge before coming to a public forum.

If you are still in standard 2, I can oblige you free of charge with all pleasure. but, if you've written jamb and in a university,they are not teaching you proper so demand for a refund.

Emeskhalifa:
logically, the op is correct. now ask yourself this, in a month how many liter of fuel does a less privileged Nigerians use. even without the corruption, the rich ppl still benefit frm it most

Ijaya123:
Totally off point.

Abeg swerve and continue the blame game if it puts food on your table.

Almajiri1:
You should be more worried about your shock absorbers since subsidy has been removed and multiplier effects is on a homerun.

Ijaya123:
It is a welcome development.

Built2last:
It's not as though Nigerians do not know that fuel subsidy is long over due for removal but certain things have to be in place to cushion the effect.

First the president has to come clean and lead by example.
He has to do the following

Get the 4 refineries optimally running

Sell off 8 of the 11 presidential jets hanging at Abuja airpot and tell us what the money will be used for.

Increase tax on the rich. Like property tax. Own more than one property and pay heavy tax on the rest.

Get our rail ways up and running to ease transportation

Deploys policies that will check inflation.

Increase the minimum wage to atleast 50k

Call labour for negotiation afterwards and make public every deliberation.

The masses will support you.

This English you typed here op will not make sense to Nigerians next week bearing in mind that commodity prices will skyrocket without a corresponding increase in income of the people.

Taxi from Garki to Wuse in abuja that used to be 400 naira is now 800 naira.

A bag of rice I was told went to 25k from 15k yesterday.

A basket of tomato is 27k in Kano state today. That's where it's produced.

For your information, what the government did was price modulation to knock off subsidy payment by government. They have simply told the masses to pay. The petroleum sector was not deregulated. If you deregulate, you don't determine prices and so the government can not fix 145 naira. When you deregulate, you leave pricing to market competitors. Shell, Texaco, Chevron, Asda in UK, many other giants will move in to compete. They fix their prices and the masses can choose what price is most suitable for them. A good example is the telcom sector that was fully deregulated. Did you ever here the government telling MTN, Econet or Gloss how much to fix sim cards or charges on call? Because in a deregulated sector every manufacturer charges
based on the factors and modes of production.

For every cause there is an effect.

Any leader who puts his people first thinks of the immediate impact of his policies on the people and commodity prices.

I am #Built2last and I just want to correct your paradigm @op

americanigga:
you can't apply what happened 5000years ago in the bible in this modern and civilized world. Things have changed in heaven and on earth. How you develope as a country has nothing to do with religion, but doing the right thing at the right time. For your information developed countries are more into immorality than developing world.

adegeye38:
GEJ was a righteous ruler are you high on something?

MrPresident1:
Bolded, you are correct, and God has promised that He will punish them.

I am not preaching religion to anybody, my call is a call to true and genuine repentance, without true and genuine repentance, Nigeria will be a mess forever .

And you are simply incredulous too, americanigga aka hungerbad, the Bible is about today, now now now and its content is even more recent than the future, you ever wondered why it is called a living breathing book?

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

It is not hard to to find a period in time where a nation was righteous. Such nations achieved righteousness but it was not sustained for a great period of time. Reasons are they fell from their righteous height due to the strong human nature here in the physical, and also because the strong will always dominate the weak in the physical. Israel is one of those nations. The important thing is you need not only one righteous nation but many righteous nation(s). This is the goal of humanity, this is why I believe we are here, we all have to be righteous but until that time comes hell is very full. And ofcourse depending on your level of seeing righteousness is easily attainable or difficult but the point is it is attainable. One cannot expect a microwave to fly or float but nothing is impossible. We are spiritual beings placed on a physical platform and just because the physical is stronger than the spiritual does not mean the battle is lost, it is a war. These developed countries you mention depending on your level of seeing you will know there are two ways to develop or progress, upwards and downwards. What you see as progress in this world is the retardation of your spiritual self. Do not disguise the radio, car, tap water, washing machine, traffic light, human comfort, as signs of progress, they are entirely physical. Sure it is progress and this is what you want now but SEEK YE FIRST. In these developed countries you mention sins are being committed, there is still corruption, abuse of women, abuse of power, abuse of children, there are still the rich and the poor, the well to do and the exploited. Sure the developed countries may have done damage control in ensuring a greater percentage of the people are well of but my creator laughs at such attempts.

americanigga:
Since you were born have you read anywhere or seen any country that repented and suddenly everybody in that nation starded living righteous. Even Israel the closest nation to God right from creation have not been able to live a righteous life.

A brief summary of the Israel nation: Adam and Eve sined against God, Kane killed Able, there was famine in Canaan, Isrealites became slave to Egypt, Isrealite suffered in in the dessert for many years. By the time they got to the promised land they were colonized by The Romance. They killed the Mesaiah with their own hands. They were colonized again by British until they got independence. All these happend when the Isrealite were intertwined in religion. They had kings appointed by God yet they suffered.

Please give me an example of a Nation that was doing bad and later repented and suddenly turned into a developed nation. China and Japan are not christian countries, they are into budism yet they are developed.

My brother it is not God that is punishing us. We are the cause of our own problem.

However sin is bad, and I condemn immorality. But to say until a whole nation repent it will not develope is an ignorant statement.
