Surprising simple Economics 101 explained, and you still can’t comprehend? Don’t worry yourself too much, when Dangote’s refinery comes on stream, the price of petroleum crude products will fall.

Okay.
This Economics 101 is indeed simple but it leaves too many questions unanswered.
If only our government is accountable and corruption free.

It's not my fault that you can't read and comprehend... Don't ever use that condescending term on me again!!! You should know where your level is!

Your current president marched and protested against the very same removal years ago... If he weren't leading now, he would have still spoken against it... That's called Hypocrisy!!!

In the event that you missed the thrust of my submission... Let me help you: Removal of the nonsense subsidy (Note the use of the term nonsense) should have been done in 2015 when Buhari took over! Calculate how much would have been saved since then... Would the temporary negative effects have been as harsh then as it is in this global depression and suffering going on now??!

Put your brain to use before you mention me again!!!
I’m not like you, I live in the free world so I know how market forces operate? No civilized country pays subsidy on petroleum, it makes no logical sense, because the Military forced it on us for years due to laziness on part of Government does that make it right? In the free world we have different grades of fuel from regular, to premium, to Supreme you make your choice of gasoline according to your ride, and pocket, please keep quiet you know nothing.

We supported Jonathan’s removal of subsidy, like the privatization of the electricity sector, bloody coward, he renegaded from the right move, because some minority of Nigerians opposed his action, like they are doing today against President Buhari? Good thing we got rid of the two minded nitwit.

Nothing could be more free than this action let market forces determine the price of refined crude products, not the Government, Regulator Government will set a bench mark, market forces will determine the price, the price of pms in Victoria Island Lagos cannot be the same price as badagry Lagos State, demand & supply must also come into factor.

Hmm. This government stood against subsidy in 2012 , they use this against those that in power then. When this government came on board they bring different dimensions to the fuel prices.
It very shameful the government that stood against subsidy now removed subsidy. God punishment will be on you for misleading the Nation call Nigeria.
The government doesn't good at the economy they're just using garbage in garbage out. When uneducated leading the professionals what do you expect?.
It's a lesson to me not to engaged in what am not good at and that is exactly what happening in Nigeria. Allow those that are good run the affairs of your Nation, Nigeria is going backwards the future is blinking no sense of direction because the leadership doesn't know from left to right.
2023 is loading Nigeria don't choose leadership based on party but on wisdom, good leadership, integrity and their personalities.

I expect a massive nation wide protests which I am fully ready to participate. If this doesn't happen then I'm totally giving up on Nigeria, because I can't live here and be suffering for the incompetence of one man and his dumb party. Its easy to blame PDP but do you have to add to pains of the masses at this point in time. This government cannot even give palliatives to even 50% of her population to cushion the loss of jobs and close of businesses yet they are quick to roll out higher VATs, electricity rates and fuel pump prices over night.

The timing for all these just isn't right now haba!

If Nigerians don't unify and protest against this madness there's no telling what these insensitive crooks will demand next.

Fix the refineries? Government is trying to disengage it’s self, you are exclaiming the exact opposite? No wonder you are confused, you don’t know what you are talking about, just babbling, didn’t Obasanjo sell the refineries before he left power? He knew the right thing, ignorant people like you complained it was reversed for political reasons, 12 years after they are still lying idol? Now you blame President Buhari? Very funny indeed.

Buhari has not removed subsidy

Until he abolishes underrecovery, and stops setting prices and allows marketers set the price....so that cost of pms differs from place to place

At last It has been removed, Regulators I believe said 151, market forces said 162, landing price at the petrol station can still be 164, depends on where in Nigeria it is going, it is simple economics, Lagos State may consume 4 million litters of pms in 2 days, Kebbi state may consume that same amount in 7 weeks, and you want the prices to be the same in each State?

hush15:


This write up is pure trash cos I remember during the eve of elections in 2015, they promised that fuel will go as low as 30 or 40 per litre.

To achieve that, the former minister of state of petroleum, ibe kachukwu who later became MD NNPC in the early years of APC government, promised to revamp all local refinery to make adequate local consumption at lower price.
Instead, the wasted billion and billions of dollars doing nothing. At the end of the day, they kept recording loss at the refinery all the way to 2019.

When 2019 elections came, Atiku said that the way forward for NNPC is to sell NNPC and retain only the regulatory aspect therefore, opening the petroleum market sector to wider market, Nigerians because of that singular reason didn't vote for him even when he said the plain truth.

Today, NNPC is nothing but a drain pipe and a laundering center for all kind of anomaly in the petroleum sector. First of all, the money wasted to exploring oil in the north, till today, there is no fuel there yet. Secondly, the almighty turn around maintenance that has not turn around yet. Money that could have been used to build a new refinery was wasted and declared loss year in, year out for the last 6yrs. With all the lies that they need more years to bring the decided change, the real truth is the have not even initiated any change process.

Today, NNPC is the sole importer of fuel in which they now sell to marketers! How can fuel be expensive again if not fraud?


What a failed nation....


If you really believed petrol could sell at N40, then most likely the fault is with you!

The reason why it could not is relatively simple and basic economics.

Exactly what I Keep telling you, they made promises to you Children, not me, only a Mumu will believe President Buhari can fix the price of petroleum products, Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil all operate in Nigeria, the second non of them were interested in the refineries any reasonable mind should have suspected something is wrong, but as usual the black man always dances to the beat of last years no 1 song. You will still end of paying higher for petroleum products until Dangote’s refinery comes on stream.

Peasant mindset you want the price of cement in The Giant of Africa Nigeria to be the same price as Benin Republic & Togo? My Brother Lagos State alone is richer than the whole ECOWAS bloc. The richest families in Togo & Republic of Benin combined is not as rich as Aunty Folurunsho Alakija.
