I said this when Buhari removed the subsidy some months ago during the lock down.

Nigerians did not feel the impact because price of oil was very low then. Now economies are opening up and oil price is gradually bouncing back, so as the price of oil increases, so will the price of petrol increase as well.

There is every possibility that we may buy fuel for #200 per litre before the year runs out.

The truth is subsidy is not sustainable. It should go, my annoyance is the deciet and propaganda of APC when Jonathan wanted to remove the subsidy fully.

Tinubu led his band of confused elments and we're ignorantly making noise in Lagos , calling Jonathan all sorts of names, only for the hypocritical, selfish, greedy and deceitful entity to turn around when Buhari took over to say subsidy must go. What a lying hypocrite, So much for a presidential aspirant.

If APC allowed Jonathan to remove subsidy fully then without branding it an anti people policy, probably by now many more refineries would have sprang up in the country as it's going to attract investors in that angle, Nigerians and Nigeria were even in a better position to handle the shock and the aftermath then, as the economy is far better then than what we have today.

This is a wrong time to remove the subsidy as Nigeria is just recovering from the COVID 19 shock on our economy, government should be handing out palliatives not increasing the suffering of the people.

For the change chanters and "sophisticated people", I hope una eye Don clear now.

We are all in this mess together.

I feel very bad when people talk about subsidy,we must always toe the line of argument of the government ,we should allow only them to be talking about subsidy while we behave as if we don't know what subsidy is
We should be talking about buying made in Nigeria products and at appropriate prices,if the government goes elsewhere to get fuel that is the government problem it can't pass the cost
They have been elected to do a job,which include Prudent management of resources,not the waste of petroleum importation
Petroleum products importation is the fault and inefficiency of government,we should not bear the brunt

ggirl4real:
I'm sure we still had some of these problems during the PDP administration.

Both APC and PDP are the same.

None of them represent the interest of the masses.

when it is convenient you compare the past but when it is not favourable to you,you say they are the same
They are not the same,life was much easier during the last regime you know it and Nigerians know it and are saying it loud,even people from the President's area

lexy2014:
Buhari & d rest of d political class and their families eat free food, drink free water& drinks, wear free clothes, read free newspaper, enjoy free internet & phone calls, free air and road transportation, free medical care, free electricity, free water, free security, free entertainment & DStv, free accomodation at home& abroad and several other freebies we don't even know for doing nothing. Pls who is paying for all these freebies? What is d "productive capacity" of our political class that warrants d above?

The day we start asking questions like this means our mumu don do, and the zombies amongst us has been cured,then there will be hope for a nation rising for now we can only wish

Nasir123:
You can just imagine my brother!
Imagine the kind of 'lie' from the Nigeria Army.

You can just imagine!
Chai!

After buhari the present army has to be reorganized from what it is now to the one befitting of a nation, the one now is a buhari/Fulani army not a national army

TheSourcerer:
I don't normally post on Politics, but he was a terrorist.

you mean like repentant bokoharam

Cyberterror:
I am sensing OUK/Bagudu or OUK/Zulum

is ouk a serving governor?
Your bias has influenced you wrongly

BUHARImyDOG:

In 2015 a lot of us warned everybody including the zombies on the danger of voting this calamity but a lot of unrepentant zombies refused to listen, infact I remember some zombies calling us names, some in even dive into tribalism today everybody can now see for themselves. when buhari finishes with Nigeria even the army will be paying Boko Haram to protect them. As for looting he'll soon loot Nigeria out of the map of the world & sell us to China through borrowing.

what would be left for ECOWAS,where he is borrowing rice,beans and corn,how will they recover their grains,or are you not aware your government is also borrowing food after claiming self sufficiency in rice production as a gain of border closure.

Dangrace01:
This government is inconsiderate to the masses

The masses deserve what they are getting
How can you as a business owner hire an incompetent person to manage your business,and you watch him ruined your business without doing anything,that is what the people have done and the results is clear for everyone to see

Dangrace01:
Chai

My guy for Australia said the government issued a restriction that no landlord should collect house rent and no morgage bank to collect money from any landlord, so this Corona Virus period no house rent in Australia


God please take me away from Nigeria

But in Nigeria the government is increasing Tennant woes by adding stamp duty to the mix thereby increasing the amount payable by the tenants.
Though the people get the kind of leaders they deserve,they deserve buhari and the type of unfeeling leadership he is giving them

EastGold:
Lol, those zombies following him are useless.
I know his office here in Utako, the guy is living large

That means the job pays no wonder he is going about it shamelessly,he was a poor stock analyst on TV in Lagos some years back , the program could not attract sponsorship,he was facing hardship before he switched to what he is doing now
Na hustle baba dey o,make una free am
He got to pay his bills

Fulanis brain Na first class,though they are minority,they successfully dominate,enslave and control the other tribes who are majority, the best part is the majority are very cool and happy with it
The Fulanis dominate politically,economical,and intern of security

noleflendum:
This is not true Sahara desert reporters
Justice Ayo Salami is a clean man in Nigeria after Buhari. I had personal encounter with him before he is an honest man to the core. His integrity is second to the none.
Sahara desert reporters usually post anything to please idiotic peegs from that side

maybe the job did not involve tinubu or defunct ACN

Why the double standard,why don't they kill repentant bokoharam same way,you give terrorists VIP in your area and kill surrendered criminal else where
No criminal will trust the system to surrender again except their padi bokoharam

AFvckingAlpha:
The fvck
Niggarr!!

What a mess!

Plunging the future of Nigeria into more debts, this is crazy!

I do not only have a problem with borrowing to fund capital projects, are these funds being used judiciously by the ministries?

Even if Buhari is claiming "holier than thou", I hope the ministries and other agencies are not siphoning funds like NDDC did.

Why should we keep quiet over a mans' incompetence because we wanted another lukewarm president out, when both are birds of a feather.

We must start choosing shrewd Nigerians, I mean technocrats that can save us from this mess we have plunged into.

Say no to imposing of a thief under the guise of zoning, a move that is destined to drag us into dirtier mud.

I don't know much but one thing I do know is that Buhari has been a monumental failure.

See my signature if your into sports betting jare. Let us win together with Lionsbet. Sign up now and send me a pm.

Real disaster,someboy that is even borrowing rice and beans from ECOWAS,by the time he is done with Nigerians they will be cured of their stupidity

COMPAQ:
What gives you I impression that if we produced petril here there wouldn't be subsidy. Is crude oil free?

cost components will be different, the cost of production will drastically reduced,resulting in cheaper products plus more employment and savings in foreign exchange, the advantages are enormous.

MajesticKris:
What else is left of our dear country when ordinary Niger is giving us/we Nigerians fuel...

Imagine the rubbish....

They don't have sense,they should have closed their borders and increased the price of the product for their people , make it expensive ,instead of exporting to Nigeria,just like Nigeria does so that other neighbors won't take advantage of their cheap price

simpleseyi:
If security agents pick you up now, you GI dey piss for your body.

why?
You can not beat a child and not allow him to cry
Your government has unleash untold hardship in the land,that is his way of easing tension
Besides no repressive regime last for ever, the more repressive they are the quicker they come to their end
You and your security should take it easy,

Virginnn:
The super rich people in government who have stolen enough money to last them 1000 lifetimes and can afford to buy a little of pms at 1000 naira are the ones telling us that increasing fuel prices is for our good and we are helping them sell the idea. They are stealing from you to save for their next hundred generations, yet we can't realise that. We abuse one another for their sake.
Most of us who can't afford 3 meals in a day are saying that increasing cost of goods is good for us...

very right,instead of them to unite again their oppressors,they are backing them to continue in their oppression,it seems weird

He has borrowed more than any regime in history,to the extent of borrowing rice,beans,and corn from ECOWAS after closing borders and claiming self sufficiency in rice
Tax Nigerians more than any government
Refused to pay subsidy sells petrol higher than any regime
All these are sources of funds too aside income from crude
The basic problem with buhari is that he just came to fulfill the ambition to rule not to do the job,even though he is clueless and incompetent,he could have made up with a sound team
But good governance is not his goal

OdumegwuOjukwu:
That's the problem, otherwise deregulation is a smart move. Subsidy only benefit a few, and creates avenue for smuggling.

It is because of subsidy that Nigeria has not realized the benefit of an oil producing nation. Too much money wasted subsiding consumption and corruption.

This is kindergarten reasoning,if the product is not imported, the issue of subsidy will not arise ,we must produce here,and firm our currency all this is the fault of the government
Secondly in countries where they value their citizens there is one form of subsidy or the other
So it not out of place lf Nigerians enjoy some subsidy don't make it look like a sin,when it is a right

NGpatriot:
Tell your bro that the government can not keep subsidizing everything because it is unsustainable.

Tariff must align with the cost of generation, distribution and transmission, if not, investors won't invest in the power sector because they can not recoup their investments or make ends meet.

I blame the government for shielding Nigerians from these obvious realities for decades, but better late than never because it is unsustainable.

We are broke and we can not keep borrowing to fund subsidies and recurrent expenditures. doing so means bankruptcy.

same shit all the time,which investor,you think we are as dumb as you guys,like take the price to ten times what it is now,no investor will come under this regime,cause there are other determinants of FDI, the government is just using Nigerians for experiment.

Nwaide01:
Every body knows that they are watering the ground for Dangote,when the refinery comes into operation the price will be between #200 and #300.

flesh and blood have not revealed this to you

BajuGoldmehda:
easy man!!! I'm not in full support of this Bulhari led administration wholeheartedly but the truth is that this present administration was not as lucky as previous administration who met abundant resources to make this Nigeria project work but offer us with little or nothing. But here is government with scarce resources trying as much as possible to revamp every deteriorated sector of the country!!! what do I know self?
Anyways, we move!!!

if by now you still don't have sense and still fall for the porous lies you stated above then there is cause for alarm

TheRareGem1:
I hope you are right. Really. Because osinbajo is the real deal; the man that will bring development to this country

like he has done now? well done

Igbochief001:
Oga those days of Yoruba media propaganda is over .....show me is criticism of tinubu or shut up

maybe you are too young to witness this man in action just like fela he will earn your respect,he was genuine, incorruptible and courageous.

Romanoff:
Why Una no leave as as Una meet am?

oga petrol is 162 while dollars during gej was 180

This is the reason this party can never solve Nigeria problems,even if you give them 100years it is populated by daft people both leaders and followers,look at the flawed argument by a supposed spokes person of the government
Nigeria has comparative advantage in oil over most of the countries
In dollar term it is cheaper in some of these countries because their currency is stronger
So this government has not done us any favours,they have priced the products appropriately according to the current international oil prices and at the current devalued exchange rate while adding some margin
The luck they have is that Nigerians are not interested in the source of their problem before looking for solutions, otherwise they would have started from this corrupt and inept government

Racoon:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/why-nigeria-cant-stop-borrowing-ahmed-finance-minister/%3famp=1

When did you start subsidising electricity? Thought your government said "Nigeria have not borrowed enough" and "Nigeria can not stop borrowing"? So you know understand that it's economically irresponsible to continue borrowing yet have long dragged this nation into chronic indebtedness? Debt servicing is not debt payment.

So after saying subsidy is a fraud, yet you continued to pay same for years.After promising one year one refinery but failed to fulfil same, the NNPC is just churning out debts as none of the existing refineries are functioning optimally despite the huge TAM & other overhead costs.No diversification from oil economy as billions are wasted prospecting for an illusive oil up north.Just cluelessness & incompetency on display.

my brother to shock you the man is not borrowing only money,he has started borrowing grains,rice,beans,corn,from ECOWAS
Despite his claim that border closure has made Nigeria self sufficient in rice
The man is simply a disaster.

Another ignorant and unintelligent ipob rubbish.

ipobs are not known for any ability to read and comprehend.

yeye ranting, of an irredeemable zombie

BigBelleControl:
2015 - I voted Buhari out of anger
2019 - I didn't vote because of apathy
2023 - I won't vote because I'll be out of the country.

who will give you visa,you are going nowhere until you clear this mess you helped brought about

Yebosola:
More than Abiru ba? Your hatred for APC no allow u know who Abiru is.

who he be,he is just one of tinubu lackeys that's all

NGpatriot:
Listen to this crooked, fake, lying, fraudulent and identity thief fake pastor, is he talking about the economy that they wrecked when they declared austerity measures when oil was selling for $77/barrel or the one they were borrowing hundreds of billions every month to pay workers salary?

Loot at the date in red, just days before handing over to PMB, they borrowed to pay salary till their last days in office, they didn't even bother to release 1 kobo to fund capital projects, I repeat, not even 1 kobo for capital projects.

So, if the economy was so good, why borrow billions every month to pay salary and not 1 single kobo to fund 1 inch of road or 1 single classroom?

If the economy was so good, why declare austerity measure as far back as 2014.

These clowns really think we have amnesia and we did not witness their looting is not stealing economy on the brink they left. behind, even countless abandoned projects.


This crooked wendell simlin and no church having fake pastor need to shut up sometimes..

All the rubbish you wrote here has not counter what Reno wrote,it just depict you as an unintelligent aid of a disastrous regime,who have no clue of the consequences of their failures
