[quote author=Ejehjoe post=45644274][/quote]All your epistle would have make sense if the FG's action was deregulation.
FG didn't deregulate the oil industry they simply hiked the price of PMS.
You can't have price fixing and deregulation at the same time.

Shine your eye bro. It is from strike you give the government the option of them giving you the pay rise or they revert. Government can and will never increase your salary if you don't Fight them with conditions. Vat is increasing,light bill increasing,fuel increasing, yet we all keep quiet while suffering in silence. Moreso who are the so called useless private sector union that cant even defend or fight for workers being sacked daily yet they have the guts to tell us not to join the strike. Many private workers are owed gratuity, many are still casual. Who even recognize their foolish association sef. Let them shut up.

No mind the jegudu jeras! Qatar,UAE,Kuwait with a fraction of our population are not smiling as it is now, don't even get me started on Venezuela, Na blood those ones dey cry!!!

What we need NLC to do is to fight to;

1. Ensure min wage can get the basics: 30-35k.

2. Follow the 350bn capital spending bumper to bumper so we don't end up subsidising corruption in another guise.

3. Fight RMAFC & Wages commission to a standstill so there is income parity among govt establishments.

4. Enforce due process in recruitment; so young graduates without connection won't all be relegated to recharge card sales or fish pond or poultry farming because the elites have taken all the posts with "juice" & left ONLY the chaffs..

I doubt they can get just one of these done though, they are but toothless canines!!

They played dead when job seekers got death in exchange for their 1k, Abba "mass murderer" Moro is still walking free.

Subsidy probe of 2012 eventually turned into a farce!

NASS is living large, their budget (which takes 25% of recurrent expenditure??) is shrouded in secrecy, that one is one battle we ALL need to fight.

If they can't ensure of those points listed shouldn't we be worried? And do we need the NLC to make any of these be a reality?

You got it wrong.
Removal of subsidy in an industry infested with oil & gas criminals is in the interest of the nation, though with additional hardship for the common man at the initial stage. However, the gains of subsidy removal can now be reaped as the money will be in safe hands of PMB. It was certain, under Gej, all the gains would have been looted and people would have suffered for nothing. Simple.

The planned strike will never cause Civil servants u r telling to stock food in there house have not been paid month arrears salaries in many states. State governments are indebt and business people try possible best to make extra money to get fuel and u won't them to all stop work and sit down at home so they can get money from Jesus. It would have made more sense if the strike was to force state governors to pay up salary arrears or in respect of the increment of minimum wages.

In a well structured and organised countries, there are acceptable ways of handling things and issues. When a leader is a beast, when a leader feels who is worthy out there to be considered when taking decisions, when a leader continues to undermind and totally desregard others, no matter how powerful he is, majority of the people will suffer. The bible, if you a christian, but am sure you are Fulani and full time Islam member since you a surppter of Buhari, the people suffers because of lack of leaders with wisdom. The goat in Buhari brain that has continue to influence him to take others as nobody will eventually lead him to doom shortly.
As aleader, he should carry the people along. He should never attempts to make either remarks, acts or show people that he is interested in his region. That time has past. After briefing the union leaders, ministers etc and he was told to give them small time to consult with their respective unions, i expect this Buhari with Donkey brain to listen, instead, the foolish Buhari just ordered to remove subsidy.

Logical Reason!
Chief Joseph is a petroleum importer. He imports 10 million litre of petrol at the of cost of N95 per litre.

He report to the DPR that he has imported 15 million litres at the cost of N105 per litre, requesting N30 subsidy per litre.

DPR sends Mr. Yusif a inspection and monitoring officer, to measure and verify the authenticity of the claims.

Chief Joseph offered Mr. Yusif a bribe of the applied subsidy in liew of 1 million liters, which Yusif reject instantly, requesting that of 3million liters so that, it can comfortably go round to his bosses.

Apparently they ended up agreeing on 2.5m liters each. The deal is strucked, Mal. Yusif and his Bosses ended up with N75,000,000 while Joseph, the importer gain N400,000,000 on the deal They jointly cheated the government the sum of N175,000,000.

Finally Chief Joseph divert 75% of the product to the black market and sell at N120 per liter to the masses. Later the government will also pay the cost of transporting 15 million liters to the allocated filling stations across the country.

Thats exactly the case of petroleum subsidy in Nigeria. So isn't it better for the government to invest those savings of hundreds of Billions of Naira wasted every year on subsidy, on life touching projects?
It will be an act of foolishness for us to continue to subsidise petrol and and peg the price at a ridiculously lower rate much more lower than all our neighbours where the product is being smuggled to.

What will happen in that circumstance is that fuel will be diverted to where profit will be maximised and the diverters will still collect subsidy. The masses in which the subsidy is targeted at will suffer on queue or buy at prices far higher than the subsidised rate......They will also suffer from extremely dilapidated infrastructures whose money has been diverted to fund subsidy.

Deregulation, therefore, is for the masses. In the short run, they will feel the effect. Although, they will see growth in infrastructures and social welfare of the government. And in the long run, the benefit will become total and pains will disappear because price will fall ridiculously and the market will stabilise.

We cannot be subsidise for greedy marketers at N87 while our neighbours sell as follows:

Niger......N190
Cameroun. .....N200
Ghana..............N198
Chad.................N180
Benin.................N190

So how on earth are we going to get fuel at N87? It is just criminally natural that there will be diversion, Scarcity, pains and corruption because the marketers will outsmart us all!

Although, it is N28 in Saudi Arabia but they have about 20 functional refineries with high capacity. We never built in the surplus days, neither did we upgrade the obsolete ones. It is N128 in the USA despite their enormous infrastructures in the oil sector.

But I saw a friend post. He stays in the UK. He was lamenting and inciting people against the government for embarking on deregulation. I know him very well as a fantastic Wailer. So I told him "what's your point?"....he said "the price is just too high".....I said "how much"....'N145' he replied. Then I asked him "how much is petrol in the UK?"...He didn't reply me. I waited for 1hr to no avail. I then sent him this....

"S***i, you are an hypocrite and your conscience is the prison I will condemn you into. Petrol is over N300 where you live in London and you are busy saying nonsense to your people at home. You're a big shame and I'm really sorry for you."

He replied "LOL"

I said "I wish you the same".

Excellent post. I hope more Nigerians will understand that subsidy cannot continue to enrich petroleum importers and some government officials. This has been happening since the 90s and those enjoying free money would do anything to ensure it continues.

NLC didn't protest when the good people in the national assembly bought jeeps at over inflated costs. They didn't protest at the fact that some state governments mismanaged fun do and are owing workers salary.

Why are the labor unionists in support of corruption? Nigerians cannot continue to be misled by people with selfish interests.

What will it profit NLC if it shuts down the economy of its own country? He does not even enjoys the support of everyone so its bound to fail in the end. It leader just beat his chest saying proudly "I will shut down the economy of Nigeria". Oga u beta go sit down for somewhere and let the sleeping dogs lie. Nigerian people don wise oo, we no be push and follow anymore. FG has stated, it is a move that will allow efficiency and good delivery of fuel in every corner of the country. I just hope FG reduces the subsidy removal price to something like N120. NLC do you enjoy seeing Nigeria queuing up in fuel stations everyday, considering the corrupt marketers that were holding the country to random during subsidy regime? NLC should rather direct all its energies to fight for better welfare for workers and increase in salaries of workers.
