Stop this. We need to hold our leaders accountable. That's how you build corrupt free nations that work. Even in the US evenbif its over 50 years a crime against the people is committed the leaders or govt is held accountable.

You can't just declare no subsidy with nothing on ground to alleviate the suffering of the people to an extent. The least they could do is import busses to high density areas with subsidised bus fares .

Sis where is the money?

Not practical. I love bicycling but who wants to get to work sweaty everyday?

SpecialAdviser:
Tinubu and his supporters are really magas. Their stupidity is legendary. They are making it look like people are against subsidy removal.

Nobody is against it. It is the useless drug lord who doesn't know how to follow process. If I was in his shoes, first thing is to investigate the subsidy program. Invite all the stakeholders. Meet with NNPC to plan and strategize on how to remove the subsidy without Nigerians feeling much of the impact. How can you go and announce removal even when you have not asked for information about it on your table? Reminds me of Buhari banning generator importation to improve electricity Mad people full this country answer

When did this happen? I know Buhari banned the importation of those small small generators due to their effect as pollutants, but i never heard when he banned generator imports to improve electricty. Can you share any evidence to substantiate your claim?

Four girls two boys.

Does it not tell you that my gender has taken over?
The FUTURE is FEMALE.

1. I was in forefront that birthed Chioma and David's wedding.
2. I brought into light the evil (rape) men do to women mostly their daughters/acquaintance.

Did anybody ask your gender not to take over? We are proud of those of your gender who do well.

saphiere:
Four girls two boys.

Does it not tell you that my gender has taken over?
The FUTURE is FEMALE.

It's not about gender ma. We are proud of them all. Meanwhile, you can't tell me you are seriously vicariously living through small secondary school girls and claiming their glory? Try and achieve something for yourself.

ENDTIMEISNEAR:
Shuut up there monkey, Who is Tinubu and what can he do ? NLC should shut down the Country unless they reverse the old fuel prices. F00lish APC people

As they shut the country including the courts, how will PDP and PDP Pro Max reclaim their various missing mandates? Just wondering.

LagosFirstSon:
Revert to the old price and come to the negotiating table or we go on strike

Bola Tinubu protested against fuel subsidy removal in 2014 during Goodluck Jonathan PDP government. Why go back to his vomit now?

Tinubu must be really stupid to think he can just wake up and take decisions without following due process

As the strike goes on, will workers of the judiciary be exempted? How will Peter Obi's case go on?

Just wondering why you are so excited. Or have you given up on the mandate?

damosky12:
These lots again...

You guys will stop at nothing to try to ridicule the church and paint scandalous pictures about the church...

What the heck is this misleading headline and incomplete story?

The headline is not misleading. That's exactly what has happened. The story is incomplete though.

You dont even understad what you're posting.

What is the difference between point 3 and 4?

And how do they make sense after you said in your introductory paragraph that NNPC set the offical price on May 31st?

foleskay:
What about fuel to transport thoze products?

Food transport is done by heavy-duty vehicles that mainly use diesel.

Food manufacturers and transporters mainly use diesel not petrol so I'm wondering why they should increase prices if not for taking advantage of situations.

sapele914:
It is not transparent because your candidate lost, but the results from Lagos state, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu State & Abuja just to mention a few, were transparent?

Lol. But which part of my comment implies having a preferred candidate who lost? Did I mention particular areas that were not transparent?

I said the elections as a whole, including the areas you listed were not transparent. That doesn't mean that APC didn't genuinely win, it means that the manner in which the elections were conducted do not show beyond all reasonable doubt that the process was fair.

I blame INEC. Conduct a transparent election make everybody rest, you say no.

GboyegaD:
Did you read about the timings or you just wanted to prove what isn't necessary?

Some suspected hoodlums on Saturday allegedly attacked the convoy of the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello who was on his way from Abuja to Lokoja.

That is Bello's account.

Mr Ajaka who was on his way to keep an appointment with the Mai Geri, The first class traditional ruler of Lokoja and The Attah Igala in Idah decided to abort the journey and return to Abuja after conferring with the Commander of the Lokoja Naval

Ajaka's account.

According to both accounts the "separate" (according to you) incidents both took place while the men met on the way from Abuja to Kogi.

So just because one wrote 12:30 and one wrote 3:00 pm, you suddenly believe that Bello travelled from Abuja to Lokoja and back to Abuja and again to Lokoja within the space of 3 hours?

Lol. Well if that's how you understand it, no problems sir.

GboyegaD:
We read about his attack on Bello earlier and now Bello attacking him. There's too much money and corruption in our politics which is why people are willing to kill to get in/ remain/ over throw athe current government.

Interestingly, both shootings will go without anyone brought to book.

Learn to read between the lines. It was the same incidient and one of them is lying.

dalaman:
Mad people. Gov Bello said he was attacked, now this one is saying he was the one that was attacked.

logically can a governship aspirant overwhelm a governor's convoy?

freeborn02:
Shebi they said these same set of people are the ones benefiting from the subsidy?

They said removing subsidy will put them out of business.

How come they are growing richer while the common man grows poorer?

How can removing subsidies put oil marketers out of business? They will simply increase their prices to match demand and then regulate supply.

The reason they are enjoying excess profits is that demand is currently abnormally high due to people buying more petrol than they need.

Vinnie2000:
NNPC are working with APC and Dangote to Milk this Country and Nigerians Dry! :

How can Dangote launch his Refinery and within 2,3 Days, Tinubu announces Removal of subsidy?😒

It will NEVER be well with APC and even Dangote! 😕

Dangote's refinery has not started production and will not start till year end. Around the same time, ongoing repairs to the PH refinery will be completed.

Before then many more petrol importers will be operating, as the govt has invited bidders for licenses.

Try to seek information.

NNPC increased its own prices not market prices. I'm surprised at Falana.

Bobloco:
Add CBN too that also gave Dangote the money to build his personal refinery but cannot commit that same money and ensure that the country have a working refinery

1. CBN loaned Dangote a small fraction of the money for his refinery.

2. CBN does not fix refineries.

3. If the government needed money from CBN to fix refineries it would get it. In fact, the government thoroughly abused CBN for other purposes.

Please try to seek information on how things work.

We are broke because our leaders has refused to free up resources by sacrificing their on pay and whatever corruption they have delve into

Do you knw how much these countries borrow and how much they are owing, research

You don't understand what you're talking about. I don't mean that in an insulting way. The US has massive debt - domiciled in its own currency. It has absolutely no problem raising more money to finance Government spending. You can't compare that with Nigeria who has international creditors who will soon refuse to give more money.

Besides if you're following current affairs you should know that concerns are mounting in th eUS over its own growing debt and the risk of defaulting, which is a separate issue.

Again, this is not about why we are broke. It is simply about the fact that we are broke as a matter of fact. A broke nation, regardless of why it is broke, cannot do much.

Showpatos:
We rely on loan from them because our leader keep stealing the money meant for economy development.....why Shud the masses pay for the crimes

It doesn't matter who stole what - the practical reality is simply, we don't have money again. Even if you say the masses shoudl not suffer for it, how can they be spared? What measures do you suggest?

richidinho:
Stop supporting rubbish

Government all over the world are subsidizing basic needs of the people

China provides world record subsidy on cotton for its people

USA subsidize oil, Agriculture, housing, automobiles and health care

What are our govt subsidizing for its people, nothing

The only product you are subsidizing is what you want to remove because you simply have no idea on how to tackle the corruption that has engulf the policy?

If you cant, abeg step down..we have people that can sanitize the system and bring normalcy

You are comparing Nigeria with China and the US when we regularly rely on loans from those countries to sustain basic government operations? You need to understand this: Nigeria is broke! We don't have money! No kobo to even pay civil servants even at the highest level! We're in trouble!

sonature1:
Kindly remove smart from your moniker and leave panties.

I thought you wanted to add something useful to the discussion.

No problem my dear, please help me remove it when you have the chance. But you've sha agreed that Vanguard showed integrity by standing by their Peter Obi religious war story abi? No problems!

What would it have cost Ayu to step down as and when due?

sonature1:
I like it when a news media reports a news story and stands by their words. It shows the organisation is credible and trustworthy.

Same way Vanguard stands by Obi' religious war story? Noted.

mcmurphy132:
Benin kingdom go chop insult today

Lol be like you don't know Edo people. Try it.

fineboynl:
Why not fix it before the removal of fuel Subsidy?;they are playing with Nigerians

Can't you understand the simple fact that Nigeria cannot afford 400 billion a month anymore??

tony0806:
Someone should tell him not to try fixing it because it won't work. It's just another way of wasting the little resources we asked them to manage for us.

Ask Buhari. The "system" won't let it work. We're comfortable with Dangote's refinery that will soon start rolling out fuel.

The system that prevented it from working is the subsidy regime.

FactBoyz:
The LP and Peter Obi evidence against INEC and APC too choke. They never saw Obi coming, he was too ahead of Yakubu Mahmood and APC.

Inec is just objecting everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣people wey conduct election o

Objections mean there is something wrong either with the evidence or with the way the evidence was brought before the Court.

You have no business in a house that takes 1/4 of your income. you certainly have no business with a car that consumes close to 2/4.

As it is, you're spending 280 of 400 on housing and transport. You are living above your means.

You should target no more than 80k for rent if you must, and do away with that car entirely. At your income level you should still be hopping buses and taking the occasional bolt.

SoNature:
The price of PMS can never drop if we don't have functional refineries. In fact, NNPC has become the world's most useless oil corporation. An oil corporation that is more interested in building roads and hospitals instead of having functional refineries.

Of course, it can drop with out functional refineries. The issue has always been that there is not enough competition in this market because subsidy allows operators an easy way to make money. Remove subsidies and force everyone to compete for their profits and see if they won't adjust prices to market realities.
