Place him in the worst dungeon you can find for life.

If the law permits the death penalty please do it.

Massiveglory:
Op pls try to be reasonable. This is a public space where intellectuals come to.
First of all, Nigeria does not have state police. So claiming the nigerian police as tinubu's creation is madness.
Secondly, the rrs department you claim, is a creation of Gen. buba marawa when he was governor of lagos state. The Name operation sweep was simply changed to rrs.
Pls behave.

Boldly written RRS.

Pandora Tinubu house in London.

Obi's brother caught for selling Ice.

Let them build or repair the refineries first to alleviate the sufferings of the citizens!
Now that they are a private entity,they can also issue licences to companies who intend building refineries!
Despite having private owned refineries,the USA also have government owned refineries!
Seems the financial challenges and inflation rate in the country has not gotten to you!

They cannot build or repair them.

Hasn't history taught us anything?

Since Abacha's government, the Nigerian-owned refineries have been in perpetual state of (dis)repair.

Why do you guys lie so much?
Obi's brother.

Oh, it's the guy with erectile dysfunction.

openmine:
If they cannot repair why is the minister for state Sylva saying the PH refinery will be in operation by the end of the year?
If this was possible,why was the repair not carried out right from the inception of this administration?
Lets even admit without conceding that our moribund refineries are beyond repair,what stopped the FG from building new refineries instead of denying that there was anything called subsidy?
A state in america Texas has 47 operational refineries yet we are trying to revive a refinery when we have the resources to build new ones!
I stand to be corrected....Nigeria is the only OPEC country that still imports petroleum products!
What a disgrace!

Government has no business in business.

Government should not be building more refineries.

Instead they should support private investors in any shape or form to get them to produce locally.

Olodo, train dem no build, money dem chop carry their kids go New York

Mumu.
Look at the WiFi icon on my phone.

Kasssandra:
Because they can't see how subsides are damaging the economy.

Which is one reason why I don;t support APC or PDP or even any of the parties...none of them wants to remove subsides. But the thing is, whatever Labour says, we have to.

Your tinubu better support subsidy removal. So should atiku and obi. Forget labour. They are not always right.

You can't say forget labour.

ASUU for instace is a branch of Labour and no matter how ASUU might be, the public would always support them over government.

Kasssandra:
No, we don;t need subsides in any form...unless , like the UK, everyone here pays taxes.

Nigeria has a poor tax to gdp raito...that;s a big reason why we cannot afford subsides on anything. Yet we do subsidse education, power, petrol, and health.....from oil money and the poor revenue we get from taxes...leading to issues with our budget, and more debt.

If you want subsides in this country to work...then everyone..including herdsmen and farmers, and street traders, has to pay taxes to the federal government on top of the state and LG taxes. Any other way does not work.

Even countries like the UK have debt issues from subsides, on top of their high tax revenues.

Are you reading for the sake of understanding or simply to oppose?

Can you tell me where I promoted subsidies?

I simply responded to the issue of subsidising of luxuries which should never happen.

If anything should be subsidized, it can only be essentials.

openmine:
If this same administration had done the needful by having the will power to repair and build new refineries from 2015,we would not be experiencing an inflation in the price of aviation fuel where a single trip by air attracts more than 80k!

If PMB had dedicated resources from the beginning of their administration to ensure refineries are working instead of resorting to blame games,there would have been nothing like fuel subsidy by now and diesel that was 230 per litre last year wont be selling for 700-900 naira!

You cannot repair our refineries.

By now this should have been clear to all.

The solution is to sell them off to private investors but I'm sure Labour would oppose the sale.

Kasssandra:
Whichever Nigerian leader wins next year....he or she has to remove subsides completely.

If Tinubu wins, Labour would oppose it.

If Atiku wins, Labour would oppose it.

If Obi wins, I still think Labour would oppose it.

Kasssandra:
Then Obi should make some sense to you, while your government is complicit in the greasing.

Since APC did not have the cojones to remove subsidy completley in 2015.. By now, we would have had some working refineries, and more jobs.

You are talking absolute tosh.

Can't you see the irony of Labour the most vociferous opposition to removal of oil subsidies suddenly for the sake of power be the champions of the same subsidies.

In any case, I'll hang back because I'm 100% sure Obi would not win.

Landowner101:
Yet our mighty naira is on a heavy downtrend against most african currencies.

Like which ones?

Kasssandra:
You mentioned it in a comment justifying subsides of essentials.

Which you implied should be done for all Nigerians

As you and I know, it isn't possible. We don;t have the money to do so.

I did not imply it should be for all Nigerians.

My argument was that subsidies are not for luxuries but for essentials.

I gave an example of how it is provided for the less privilege in UK.

You do not subsidise luxuries, instead you tax them.

Kasssandra:
1.Meal vouchers are not given to all UK children...they are given to families that qualify.

2.We subsidised essentials in this country before...and by the year 1985, there was scarcity of all of them...because we no longer had the money to pay for subsides due to the oil boom collapse of 1982

Did.i say it is given to all children?

Kasssandra:
.

So you don;'t support subsidy removal. Right.


Because at the end, the subsidy eats into the budget...and by extension into the salaries of Labour union workers.

At the end, the NLC is going to face the truth. Either they support subsidies...and by extension balloning deficits, and more loans, and more debts...or they support removal of subsidy, and by extension, a brief period of high prices, but their salaries get paid, with the possibility of more increases to assuage subsidy burdens...and long term more jobs.

Let them choose their medicine....

Kenya just did a partial removal of subsides...not because Mr Ruto is madt, but because it is costing them far too much in money.

I'm in total support of the removal of subsidies.

Even as I disliked the Jonsthan government, it was one policy i supported.

Guess what?

Labour leaders hate the idea.

How else would their palms be greased?

Landowner101:
Why isn't food and other essentials cheap in Nigeria under this administration?

Cost of food has gone up.worldwide.

Some of you need to face facts.

Nigeria's inflation rate despite being high is much lower than most developing or most Sub-Saharan nations.

Landowner101:
Why will a sane government be subsidizing what they produce.This things aren't supposed to be overpriced by default, but due to the level of corruption and criminal minded the big bosses of Nigeria are they will keep looking for ways to loot our resources, thereby enriching other countries. Products that aren't been produced in Nigeria like electronic,phones, laptops etc are things that should be subsidized, but here in Nigeria this are things that are been bought *2 of the normal price of such products in other sane country.
This is why we need someone like Peter Obi, we the sane Nigerians are tired of promise and fail government.

That's not how it works.

You subsidize essentials which otherwise would make the less privileged suffer.

For instance, in UK, meal vouchers are given to parents so their kids can afford meals.

You don't subsidize luxuries and in fact, you tax them.

Kasssandra:
If Obi is serious about removing subsidy, then he is making a lot of sense.

Subsidy is a big burden on our economy. It eats up money, no way one looks at it. It is also one of the main reasons, if not the main reason why we don't have working refineries from NNPC, and why Dangote refinery would soon join them if it isn't removed by the time it comes on stream

At the end, you cannot force a business to run at a loss, and then pay them a subsidy that does not cover the loss.

Keyamo is the one that should get real. If subsidy was working, how come our budget deficit is rising. How come governors from his own party are pointing out that allocaitons to states are reducing.

The APC has failed...economics....forever.

You are writing absolute rubbish.

How can Labour which has always opposed the removal of oil subsidies suddenly support a candidate who says he would remove subsidies when till today if you attempt to remove oil subsidies, the same Labour would protest and ground the country to a halt?

All those kids writing up and down cannot even address the issue.

How can Labour party accept to remove fuel subsidies when they actually oppose the removal of same fuel subsidies?

khadaffi:
Before Gani died there was an interview he stated that Keyamo was already working for politicians. So Gani won't be surprised

Where's the interview?

Youoareofoolish:
Its then safe to say you are and will remain a dumb ass. Because you appreciate the strides in your adopted state means that every thing that comes out from the state, you must take in and accept hook, line and sinker? Are you observing the logic you are responding with? Smh

You are very foolish.

Tell us what is happening in your home state that rivals anything in Lagos.

I'm sure you are even ashamed to mention your state.

Must be something like Anambra or Abia.

[quote author=ObosiUkwalla post=116754752][/quote]You are going to Unilag to ask if a person finished from there when you know he attended LASU.

See say your village people never free you?

What tinubu will do of he mistakenly gets elected will be worse than this.

Vote OBI-Datti so your life will have meaning

Obi would even stop men from having side-chicks.

Are you living in your homestate,? If yes, are you living in your village? s that the crux of my argument? Foolish people everywhere

Your name is all about you.

If I'm jot living in my home state, at the very least I appreciate the strides of my adopted state.

What do you have besides bad belle?

Monday now, your relations can only make calls from behind their oga's vehicles.

Nonsense.

Youoareofoolish:
The way people always hail lagos,its either they dont live in lagos or they have never left nigeria to somewhere else before. Even abuja is way more developed and sane than this lagos people are even hyping. Sone people will still tell you its tinubus legacy like say fashola was never a governor

But you cannot leave Lagos alone.

EmmyDJourno:
Which lead, train since 2012, if taking the lead is not completing a train station in 10years, abeg keep your lead

How many in your state's capital?

Or Lagos prevented your state from executing such?

slimfit1:
They are doing it for the election after 2023 election they will stop till the next election again. APC Tinubu is a smart man. It's not an underground line and it took 14 years to build very poorly. I use train almost everyday you can't fool me, but you can fool Lagosians.

You use trains everyday.

How many did you build?

Why are you running (in Lasisi Elenu's voice)?

Na where man dey work...
