But where are those that's been supporting this govt?

Especially those that campaigned and voted in the second time?

Though I didn't even vote at all but what people like you are finding it hard to understand is that the other parties are also the same. Atiku has nothing better to offer. Don't know why it so damn hard for una to get.

There isn't shock yet, the greater shock is yet to come. Lets relax and enjoy our next level in peace

Even before you were born, we've been complaining about the same thing. Electricity, petrol, roads, employment and the likes. We need to work together and make things right. Supporting one party over the other is not the solution. PDP or whatever party don't have anything better to offer too. Try to get that! Nigerians can't progress if we keep changing from APC to PDP vice versa.

Na today day break....No be the Buhari wey we know?

Other countries think creatively to manage their situation, Greece was in a tougher mess a few years back and they are gradually getting back on their feet, but look what we have in Nigeria, a nepotistic old man with empty brain & hatred flowing in his veins & blood vessels......loaded with a cabinet full of people with empty brain cells......all they know is how to tell lies, lies & more lies.....no thinking out of the box to tackle challenges & proffer meaningful solutions ......rather some are already thinking about 2023, wey them no even dey sure if them go live long enough to see........

So maybe this is also part of the process of getting back on our feet.

Or maybe you want Nigeria to end up like Venezuela before the government takes action?

It is very unfortunate some people can not see beyond their noses and you are one of them.


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!

You said

Where were you in 2012 when [b]GEJ wanted to remove this fuel subsidy [/b]and you guys leading a protest against that Government then knowing fully well that you guys was just planning to take over Government without preparation for the governance and concomitant challenges ahead.

Mass protest doesn't decide the democratic decision of a leaders, it might influence the decision but a true leader with honest conviction would have convince Nigeria that removing oil subsidies and investing in fixing the four oil refineries would have been the best way forward.

GEJ three senior ministers (Sanusi (CBN Governor ) Iwealla (Finance ) and Diezani Alison-Madueke(Petrol) provided compelling argument during the fuel debate on why oil subsidies must be removed and the saving invested in infrastructures including the four refineries

He should have accelerated a programme for fixing the oil refineries and gradual reducing the oil subsidies, instead oil subsidies increased under GEJ wiping out the FX reserves left by OBJ government.

GEJ kept the oil subsidies for the best part of four years after the mass protest and did nothing absolutely nothing regarding the four non-fuctional refineries...because of GEJ incompetence, we now have a tribalist Buhari in power that is as bad and even worst than GEJ.

Personally, I believe Nigerians deserve to enjoy some form of subsidy on fuel price.

I disagree, Nigeria must replace the consumption culture with a production culture and that involve removing all consumption subsidies, slashing recurring expenditures and investing in productive initiatives such as subsidising industrial development, infrastructure, education, healthcare and investing in infrastructures.

Buhari has been force by the impact of COVID-19 and IMF conditions to remove consumption subsidies, this wasn't a strategic decision but a conditional decision.

Finally, on Atiku plan privatisation of the refineries: From 1999 to 2007 Atiku was head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai. Majority of these enterprises included Ajaokuta, ALSCON , National Secretariat Ikoyi, the three paper mills were all sold to cronies and till this day are not functioning.

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.

Wake up.. It would have been worse if Jonathan was president.. Okonjo Iweala hinted to that.. GEJ is hot with the past stop crying more than the bereaved..

Buhari doesn't value words and doesn't listen. His Mind seems focused on some nefariously scripted OBJECTIVES.

Dude, your leaders are not serious, if they are really serious, they will start by cutting down their allowances, number of vehicles in their convoys, being accountable with recovered loots by the EFCC, merging some unnecessary govt agencies e.g VIO/FRSC, ICPC/EFCC, & a host of others..........I can go on & on listing ways to reduce govt expenditure...............if we see concrete & genuine actions from them, we will take them serious., but for now, Buhari & his crew are not ready at all..............but what does a layman like me know?

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.

That I don't agree with you on the comment you made with Atiku.

Selling NNPC is not only removing subsidy, its also eradicating waste and drain pipes of most NNPC structures and assets that's not beneficial to Nigerians.

NNPC has been wasteful for years now and even more under this present administration. Is it from the padi paid recruitments to pay under serving entitlements to politicians and political elites or the over bloated contracts to the audio turn around maintenance of refineries who keep posting losses in billions of naira after investing billions of naira?

See, a honest or at least fair government who truly cares about the masses and wants to remove subsidy would give licences to local refiners whether modular or gigantic refinery to refine crude locally at least to cater for local market but they don't want to do that cos where these NNPC rogues make more money is when they import the externally refined fuel and truth be told, no matter what, no matter the prize, they would still pay subsidy cos its government and they can always tell you why price of fuel could have been higher.

That Atiku could do it differently, maybe or maybe not but I know he will listen more than the deaf man and his heartless thieves that are there presently and it will put an end to the monopoly the cooking up.

The Military Chiefs, The Minister of Finance and The CBN are all Misfits in this connection. And Buhari relishes them as if they are UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.

We need palliative Mr. President. I know. But I provide for Miyetti Allah FULANI Herdsmen and TINUBU.

Are you guys not tired of lies? You guys keep lying same lies you used in deceiving Nigerians since 2015. How many times have we been told by this government that there is no longer subsidy? How many times have they been paying subsidy without letting Nigerians know? It was increased to 143 and they said they removed subsidy, price will fluctuate, till today did we see anything like that? Did they tell us when they introduced it back? When the news came in that they have started paying subsidy again were you guys not all over the place defending there was no subsidy? Which one are you guys talking about now. When crude price went down, did it affect fuel price in Nigeria? But other countries felt it but in Nigeria we only hear the effect when crude price go up because it's time to increase petrol price. The fact is when you guys finish destroying he country out of greed and selfishness you will suffer it at your old age and your children will continue from were you stop. You guys think it's about the peanut you get now.
