Why will they when your principal was one of the people that publicly demonstrated against it but now turned around to hike fuel price despite his campaign promises. A P C - A Party of Cruelty!

Just for $1.5bn loan from world bank una dey suffer the whole country

Buhari's government is bereft of ideas.

But when the government before yours tried to do it you highjacked it and politicized it and here you are using it on your score card. Shameless people.

daddytime:
And what will history do to him and his lying alibabas who had been bleating pre-2015 general election that subsidy was a ruse and not in existence?

What would history do to them for the trillions looted in the guise of subsidy in the past 5 years?

Make una fear God for once.

Three years no be forever.

Politicians use the anger of the people to get elected, once in office, they pretend they didn't share the anger( it's a reason why some of us cynically refuse to back any party or politician)

Also, to some extent, subsidy is a scam and a waste. Yet the fear of allowing fuel prices rise as high as 300 naira per liter has prevented governments past and present from removing it.

That includes your party PDP.

Subsidy is , as I have said elsewhere, one of the points where the elite and the poor find common ground. The elite collect huge illicit profits and the poor get fuel cheaper than neighborhood African countries.( Even now, fuel is cheaper in Nigeria than in other African countries)

ok. Erica has reached 3k Dollars donations

In a way, I am laughing at the APC government. Had they backed GEJ in 2012 on fuel subsidy, they would have, assuming they won in 2015 under that scenario, be reaping the benefits

Instead they have spent five years wasting money on subsidies, and now covid 19 has forced their hand

( Though I still remain suspicious. They are still setting the price. Subsidy is still there)

All in all, politicians use the peoples anger to get into office. PDP is already doing that now with an eye on 2023....

This is the beginning. When they are done, a 100 scorpion stings on one arm will be more preferable to living in this country.

See your people

No lie on my great ppo

After consuming cold okpa and Ghana jollof

Zombies how are you guys doing this new week?

I hope you go out with your APC party membership card to buy fuel and purchase electricity units


To rest of us, just be calming down!

If at all, one lesson learnt from this administration is that, when you assume power, use it to the full. Don't be gentle with it.

Una have a nice day ooo!

You dey mind those idoits.. Sombori say "Sai Baba"

Subsidy is still there. They are just testing the waters.

By december expect another hike the finall plan is 200naira plus.

Let us pray.

GamalNasser:
This is the same Buhari and Ko that went to Ojota to protest against Jonathan's removal of Subsidy and Buhari was even recorded saying Subsidy was a hoax that didn't exist ..

if Nigerians vote APC back to power in 2023 then I know something is wrong with the habitat of the lands brains. (I don't want to use heavy insulting words this morning)

donprinyo:
Excuses for everything. Of course fuel subsidy is not good for Nigerian economy and removing it completely ain't good for citizens for now. Gradual withdrawal is de way to go and also encouraging private sector to build mini refinery is also the solution. In fact, executives should never have involved themselves in trying to control judiciary and legislature cos real investors don't trust de system.

Whom did you vote in 2015 and 2019..?

Yes it is. So long as PPRA is setting the price it is there.

Though, personally,speaking as someone who has believed that subsidy should have been gone since 2011, when my mind got changed on the issue, it is good if fuel goes to 200 and above

Reason being dangote refinery. Dangote needs to pay the loans he took to build that refinery plus pay its maintenance costs. I doubt he can do that selling fuel at 97 per liter, when it may cost him 140 or more to produce it.

At least, eventually we would have more refineries come on stream, and fuel prices will drop

This is just the beginning of change most stupid Nigerians voted for. If you voted for this government, the suffering will multiple in every area of your Life.

you keep saying politicians use anger of the people from thread to thread.. You have never suggested how the people should go about doing the right thing.. Why then are you always coming up with this phrase

Could this be another Super Story new episode?

Dammmmmmmmnnnn it!... Imagine the gibberish from these bunch of self serving thieves!
The doomed shithole is long overdue for DISINTEGRATION!

Our problem in this country is not entirely a leadership issue,1 it is Nigerians undermining Nigeria.

We all know the FX is not favourable at the moment so yes, we expect the increase in fuel price.

We also don't expect the government to be paying subsidy.

The real problem in my own opinion is still not addressed, that is, importers of fuel. They were ripping the country off with high prices and government removed its hands transfering the burden to Nigerians. This will still lead to inflation and the end still be governments responsibility.

So that means you didn't back GEJ raising prices from 65 to 140 naira in 2012?

Forget politics. This price increase may be hard, but the truth is, your hero was right in 2012,even if most Nigerians could not see it. Oil subsidy has to go. It is a conduit for corruption, and it involves wasting money we don't have

At least all.those who collected licences for refineries can start building since it is now profitable to do so.

Because past government had Nigerians at heart. But APC is concerned about theirsrlves.

helinues:
Right courage after deceiving Nigerians?

Meshonu there..

which nigerians did he deceive? last i checked a certain ethnic group never supported him becoming president.

alwayslearning9:
Courage?

Just deceiving Nigerians and lot of people benefiting from the rottenness are manipulative.

Well, I am just one man,so my suggestions carry no weight.

( Unless you are trying to tell me that I am in line for something come 2023)

If you want my suggestion, here it is. Trust no one. Put pressure on leaders to do the right thing. Educate yourself.Be realistic in your expectations. Agitate for corruption to be dealt with everyone , everywhere. And most importantly, accept that democracy is hard work.

That's my suggestions. I have no Messiah to offer you.

The most painful thing is that many people are still living in ignorance or self denial.

Miniso:

So he got zero vote from that region?

I blame the opposition parties for this. most especially The PDP. they didn't know how to play politics. APC played their game an succeed. it's pitiful they are playing politics with the future of this country

1diot.

Courage to remove what was removed by previous Govt and they sponsored riots on the street.

emkz:
How many times has this government removed subsidy from petroleum products? Did Ibe Kachikwu not tell us that there was no provision for fuel subsidy in 2016-2918? Did the FG not pay subsidy? Garba, who are you people deceiving?

The world over, governments are pumping money to reflate their economies, the EU has agreed to pump €750 million Euros for example; but Nigeria is impoverishing citizens. Garba, what is the purpose of government in the Nigerian context?

If Buhari wants to show courage, let him deregulate the sector.

your last statement is what the government has done or is doing so why contradict it with the first statement

Because the previous governments cared for the masses and were never insensitive to their plight unlike Buhari's government that derives joy in inflicting economic pains upon the masses.

Garbage shehu is totally mad. Isn't that what Jonathan tried doing before you and ur buhari closed down the nation in a protest?

there is nothing new in what you just said.. I even thought you will advice Nigerians to discern and scrutinize a new generation of leaders(those who are not be known in politics). One is the present governor of Bornu state
