Pythagoras001: Comparing Russia, China and USA with Nigeria is height of insensitivity. Do you know what those countries per capita is compared to ours . The President needs to eliminate all this AGIP and political sycophants. Their are some kind of austerity measure the FG would take that would send serious signal to citizens about the calls to making sacrifices. A five car convoy is more than enough.
Time for austerity. They can never give up their convoy, expensive dining, presidential suites in the most expensive hotels in the world and the large political sycophants that accompany them. Nigerians were the ones that paid for and fuelled those 120 cars.
EyeCumInPiece: Nigerians should brace for more tribulation Tinubulation.
Better trademark this phrase. The Lagos 10% illegal monthly tax commission collector through Alpha Beta is coming to unleash Tinubulations during his reign.
Guestlander: Nigerians have ambushed and killed their leaders probably more than any other country. Balewa, Ironsi, Murtala. Babangida barely escaped. We are products of our environment. Keke ko, Okada ni.
That was under dictatorship when power hungry soldiers were gunning for power. We are now in a democracy and have to cut our coat according to our size as the poverty capital of the world with 101 million Nigerians living in poverty.
yarimo: post where Putin of Russia, xi of china and Biden of America are going to work with bikes very simple. I just ask for 3 president oo not even up to 5 oo
Nigerians always defend their oppressors.
-Nigera leaders have the most expensive luxury cars in their convoys for the poverty capital of the world
-Eat the most expensive food
-Stay in the most expensive hotels
The country only caters to corrupt politicians and civil servants.
Ihateheadslamer: The same thing applies over here in Germany.
Several ministers of different positions goes to work with a bicycle on daily basis but in Nigeria the reverse is the case
Nigeria leaders have the largest convoys in the world when you add The President, Vice President and Minister convoy. It is not seen anywhere in the world.
Compare the convoys of the three arms of government to America, Canada,Russia.
Nigerians leaders are the most selfish, corrupt and wicked to ever exist in mankind.
Thomas Sankara that ruled Burkina Faso sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of all ministers and top government officials.
Corrupt and selfish Nigerian leaders can never sacrifice anything for their country.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has been accused by a former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, of operating a fuel subsidy scam alongside the oil marketers.
Yuguda said NNPC and the stakeholders in the oil industry were receiving subsidies for pipelines that don’t exit. He said they just made claims of pumping a certain amount, filling papers, tender invoices and receiving payments.
He disclosed this on Monday, during an interview with Channels TV, while discussing the fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu.
“I am sad to let Nigerians know what I saw; we came across situations where subsidy was claimed on pipelines that never existed,” Yuguda said.
Yuguda, who was also a former minister of state for transportation, stated further: “They (NNPC and Marketers) just claim that they have pumped X amount of either finished products or crude.
“Those that claim to pump the products and those that are in the subsidy scam, they just fill papers, invoices and they claim subsidy on it.”
Also, Ripples Nigeria had reported that Yuguda said President Muhammadu Buhari should have known about those involved in the fuel subsidy scam as he was also the minister of petroleum.
The report also disclosed Yuguda claiming that one of his friends told him and a President (he didn’t specify which President) that he was tired of making money from subsidies paid for fuel.
