the Senate should thread carefully on this.


despite the lies of pmb & the confused personality of his appointees, subsidy has to come into play if PMS is to remain N145, or the government increases price of PMS which would start another cycle of depression as cost of other goods & services will also rise with their attendant domino effects...

the fraud in subsidy can be controlled/checked if adequate measures are put in place...


the problem pmb is having on the matter today is as a result of the lies he & his goons told in the past just to paint GEJ black, those lies are haunting him today but pmb is to arrogant to admit his faults & as such he keeps lying & stumbling in issues that should be straightforward...

Desyner:
It turns out Buhari and his men have been swapping crude for petrol. The arrangement helps bypass the notorious marketers in previous subsidy arrangement, but is open to top-level corruption. To me, it is a masterstroke. I prefer this to the previous subsidy apparatus.

Bede2u:
Buhari's govt is filled with illegality, bigotry and out-right mistakes.

Yet people want to re-elect him.

A man who would be 77 yrs in 2019? Gosh we are lost as a nation.

surgical:
why did it not play out in the last dispensation, when the people are angry they can change any regime, just wait and see.

Whether legal or not, something just has to be done to check the current hardship being experienced by the citizens over availability of the product.

Yesterday was one of my angriest days as a Nigerian.

Left home as early as 10am to queue up at an NNPC station. To my chagrin, it appeared I was moving just about a few inches forward per hour on the queue. I was literally making no progress at all and time was approaching 5pm.

Left where I was and drove towards the gate, and there, what I saw made me wonder if there's really hope for this nation. Every official stationed at the gate to ensure things are done rightly were the very people making sure NOTHING is done rightly! From Road Safety, to Police, to the the station employees, EVERYONE was taking bribes and allowing folks jump and shunt the queue! From what I saw, there was absolutely no way I'd get to get in if I didn't bribe my way through!

Yet we open our loud mouths to complain about government corruption!

I made up my mind I wasn't gonna be involved in any of that. Made a u-turn and drove to another station nearby, OFICON, whom I heard were selling at the official rate.

Now, I joined the queue and hoped that time, i'd get my juice and get the hell out of there, get home and get some rest so I'd have sufficient energy to groove later in the club.

Now, Guess why the guys were selling at official rate: DPR official were in the premises.

Guess how much fuel they were dispensing to motorists: 10L max!

Eventually, DPR left and to my utmost surprise, these guys wound back their meters to 230naira per litre!! Guess what more, you could, this time, buy a full tank if you please!

Now, it was about 7:15pm!!!

With so much pain and anger in my mind, i drove in and filled my tank, and swore I'd NEVER patronise that station ever again.

This is probably the same sadenning experience millions of Nigerians go through daily. It is depressing to be honest.

This subsidy nonsense was one of the major undoings of the Jonathan's regime and if Buhari isn't careful, it might consume him as well.

At this stage in our National experience, we shouldn't be dealing with an issue such as this for God's sake. It is not right!

ivandragon:
fine.


if Nigerians can handle the increase, no problem.

but note that the landing cost of N171 is for PMS to land in LAGOS...

the further inland you go, the more expensive it gets & less demand for the product, so marketers rather sell were they can make quick returns with little stress & risks...


& that is one area of subsidy Nigerians overlook & which is why subsidy will ALWAYS exist in one form or another...


for instance, with total deregulation, fuel (as long as it is imported) can be sold for N175 in Lagos as transport costs will be drastically reduced, the further inland the commodity moves, be it by road, rail or pipelines, the more expensive it gets. no two states will sell at same price... (well, 80% won't anyway).


so fuel would sell for like N190 in Ekiti, N230 in Abuja, N245 in Enugu, N300 in KD & N350 in Sokoto... & do you think the North will agree to that?

ivandragon:
your reasoning is severely obtuse...


there is a challenge facing us right now, increase price of fuel or continue to subsidise... that is a decision that must be made...

you said fuel should be totally deregulated, which is fine.


I simply gave my own opinion why an increase for now is not feasible & that subsidy exist in other forms. if the sector is fully deregulated & a marketer decides to sell fuel at N400 per litre in a distant northern village where it knows it enjoys monopoly for various reasons, do you think the government will just fold its arms?


you can't comprehend that even if the other seaports are operational, the price of fuel will always increase the further inland you go. simple logic, you can't digest...

What is wrong is wrong my friend.....it doesn't matter who the thief is.... No one should use wrong to right wrong

....and stop celebrating wrong moves

EternalTruths:
All hands are not equal.

The price of meat in the North, is it the same with the one in the South.?

Why not subsidize meat.?

When will you ever learn that you can not make everyone equal.

It is this stupidity of making everyone equal that has destroyed Nigeria.

Have you not heard of comparative advantage.


Pls, stop being myopic in life.

Why not ask that non-graduates earn the same salary as graduates.

Think before you talk.

Remember in Life, we all can't enjoy equally.

Everyone should hold unto his comparative advantage.
