Politics / Re: Why Is Nigeria Paying More For Fuel, And What Are The Solutions? Reno Omokri by Standing5(m): 2:10am On Sep 07
Tellmeastory:


I dare you to go into chocolate manufacturing with cocoa.

Your chocolate will melt in your warehouse.

Europe and America, the biggest consumers of chocolate by a mile, slapped huge tariffs on, and outright bans in some cases, of value-added cocoa products from Africa, making their processing uneconomical many decades ago.

Same system applies to most African products.

The west conspired long ago to make Africa solely a raw materials supplier to western manufacturers.

China Australia, ME still exists as markets an I am sure those would smuggle them into US and EU plus South America don't roll with US economically. Even at that, it is perfectly possible to go to US and EU as investors and process them locally over there. That's why we must make public businesses work here and not just resort to hate filled politics of domination.
Keep your flimsy excuses to yourself and stop rationalizing slavery. Before Dangote build a world record refinery, the theory was that the west and cabals they work with wont allow such and African development but today, where are they? Where?

The refinery is not only firing, it is taking their favourite Brent crude and coming to their juicy markets once local consumption is satisfied. That's what can be done with cocoa too. Process it or take it there to be processed in their own set standard or allow their enemies smuggle it into their territory and just sit back n laugh.

The funniest thing about Reno is that when he was Aide to GEJ he didn't do as much as he is doing now.

Alaye went totally silent during the period. As in silent. Surprised he is now talking now.

Maybe Bulabu don put him on his Payroll secretly. I think that is the issue..
Beaf was never silent. Dude was on cocaine and on Nairaland.

DeLaRue:
Finally an intelligent thesis that mirrors what I have been saying all this while on Nairaland.

Any Presidential candidate that promises you things will be honky dory under him and petrol will be cheap, electricity will be constant, prices of goods will suddenly be cheap is living in cloud coockoo land.

You can not keep borrowing to live a middle class lifestyle when you are on minimum wage. Eventually your debts will catch up with you and you will go bankrupt and lose everything.

Over the past decades, Nigerian governments spent more than the country was earning, subsidising this and that, in order to keep the people happy. Those past Presidents feared being unpopular and so gave people what they wanted knowing fully well it was financial poison that future generations will pay for dearly.

Nigerians have got used to things being artificially cheap due to subsidy (education, petrol, electricity etc) that when a new President comes in and say the country will head to the rock unless we change things now, Nigerians say he is the worst President ever.

Niger Republic, Ghana, and other neighbouring countries buy petrol at around N1300 per litre. But Nigerians want it at N300 or less

Unfortunately 99% of Nigerians, including the educated ones, just don't understand economics at the level of a currently poor country like Nigeria.



The actual subsidy to the masses is so small, it makes the logic of Omokri here flawed. Our fuel consumption is artificially high because smuggling exists. The beneficiaries are the elite who pretend to want a solution but in reality love the problem because it benefits them. It makes no sense for subsidy to make way for wastage and corruption. Even China and USA subsidizes the lifestyle of their poor and their critical industries. In Nigeria we have no critical industries but untouchable industrialists and individuals.
Thats why steel plants are comatose. Cotton industry that can employ millions if well integrated into fashion and upholstery, is down and always waiting for govt intervention(industrial subsidy) because of the section of the country it favours while cocoa and chocolate that still alive and can earn us, in short or medium term, almost as much as oil if harnessed, is treated like a poison. The problem of Nigeria is well beyond taxes and unavailability of funds. A deep rooted division.

The logic Reno is trying to sell here is akin to analysing sources of water in a household but never the facts that water management and storage in that house is a colossal mess and leaks heavily(corruption). The people favoured most by this leak & mess have overtime made it look negligible for selfish reasons. Reno's piece is just an extension of that wicked negligible narrative pattern.

In a country where going to another country to stone a devil is of higher priority than health and education, the lower taxes and compliance rate is not a big deal given that same structure and ethics that was in place when huge resources were exhausted and even used ahead of time in form of loans and unproductive projects, is alive to make a mess of whatever taxes the poor pay.

But EreluRoz praised and defended him when he bought the yacht, plane, renovated VP lounge with billions, borrowed money, removed subsidy, devalued naira, etc. She defended all evils and misgovernance of her/his god. She has been defending him tirelessly until he/she alleged that their driver was kidnapped, that is, until the shege reach am - until she collect. Whether the kidnap happened or not, we do not know.

They support based only on tribe and religion. They do not desire the good of the country.

Primarily, it takes gross brainlessness, senselessness, shamelessness, foolishness, and wickedness to be a Tinubu and APC supporter.
The elders flogged by thigs, why did they not support Tinubu by default?

Your logic reeks of desperation to turn people against certain characters.

Good step but refining can yield different output depending how the refiner chooses to refine. That means petrol output can be avoided based on market realities and diesel output increased.
