2015 was all about displacing the incumbent and 16 years of PDP misrule even at a point those that were supporting GEJ were having a rethink but 2019 can't be called a mistake it was intentional by the electorates and we are all facing the consequences now, 3 more years to go we hope and pray (Nigeria own solution of prayer) it will get better.

President Goodluck E Jonathan warned us then about the decision to follow the apc buhari led party.

It is so obvious the understanding of economic crunch, the old story of Wall Street etc. Little did we know that GEJ was God sent and his team did fabulously superb...

Nigerians owe the man n his team an apology. Now what

Fuel? Light?? Unemployment And insensitive government? The govt n his team are all enjoying govt immunity and plenty siphoned so what the masses are suffering now, they don't see it.

If I were buhari, I wud do far far beta because of the trust Nigerians had for him earlier including the rigging the party did to forcefully collect power.

In fact, the few I have spoken with are praising Buhari for finally taking the hard decisions after five years in office. They think that if previous governments had chosen this path, we would have suffered the pains and be enjoying the gains by now.They believe the funds burnt on fuel subsidies, probably six trillion naira in the last 10 years, could have been better spent on roads, education and healthcare.

GEJ was a useless president, he should have listened to his minister (Iwealla, Sanusi(CBN) and Diezani Alison-Madueke ) and removed the oil subsidies, instead he bowed down to the street mob.

Many Nigerians have long clamored for removal of subsidy from fuel and now we have it.

During PDP's subsidy regime of a trillion naira yearly, fuel was not available and we bought it at N600 or more per liter.

With subsidy removed, fuel price will fluctuate up and down, depending on the crude price in the world market; and that is what we are witnessing now. A drop in the crude price was the reason the fuel price was reduced a few months ago, not because of anything else.

Personally, I believe Nigerians deserve to enjoy some form of subsidy on fuel price. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue for that when we do not refine the bulk of our crude and when we do not earn as much as we used to earn from crude sale.


The hypocrisy in all of this is that those who supported and voted for Atiku who said he would sell NNPC to enrich his friends are the same vocal opponents of this development. The question they should answer is if they thought fuel price would be cheaper if NNPC had been sold.

Fact is, we would have bought a liter of fuel at nothing less than N250 had Atiku won and succeeded in selling NNPC to his friends. It is similar to what we're seeing with the electricity tariff which PDP approved to be increased every five years. Think!

Indeed, Nigerians have heard all that before.Buhari’s shock therapy is thus, not the ultimate solution.We need fiscal discipline at all levels of government.We need accountability.We need transparency.We need prudence. Government needs to trim fat.

While retrenchment is not an option at this time, at least certain excesses on the expenditure side can be scaled down.

The pains of reforms would only be worth it if Nigerians begin to see good roads, decent hospitals, better education and higher standards of living in the years ahead.Unfortunately, Nigerians have heard the same unfulfilled promises for so long that they have developed immunity against hope.

I feel like laying a curse on you for this balderdash you just spewed. 600 years of......where's that curse laying pastor when you need him.
Your hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens. When the previous administration suggested subsidy removal, we all trooped to Ojota to register our displeasure. Yes, I was there.
Buhari during his campaign said there was nothing like subsidy. Tam David west said under Buhari, petrol would sell for N40/ltr.
I remember the first price hike under this administration, Kachikwu said market forces would come into play and the price of petrol would reduce drastically in a matter of months.
Here we are today faced with a demonic govt that rose to power on the wings of blatant lies and propaganda.

Is it today that the load has been falling on the head of the poor, or is this the only country in which it does so? All over the world, the 1% rule their countries and determine who lives and who dies.

The difference with Nigeria is that our cages are a much smaller and instead of being made with gold or even silver, they are made of wormholed wood. Inequality and social immobility is a global problem.

Let the government just fix our infrastructure and get the h*** out of our lives. We will do the rest.
