This man should be arrested and charged for Treason against the Federal Government, I hope he knows what it means Life Imprisonment

GEJ is the real leader; one who loves his fellows. Though cynics describe him as shallow in understanding of statecraft and complex human constructs, he tells his people the truth, his fears, his answers and hopes, challenging all to a debate whose outcome he knows holds out no personal benefits,,,a debate of anger, a debate of sobriety, a debate of open discourse where all cards are laid open , where the unheard are heard, the unseen are seen,,, a debate in which he himself is a participant while the Judges are the hitherto unheard and unseen fellows, whose collective pains and sorrow formed the subject of the debate, and fully aware that he himself stands unprotected from its unknown outcome, be it bad or good; what a selfless leader! Indeed,GEJ is a real man, and a hero in the making.

Aro Okigbo:
Gbam!!! I'm now highly re-assured that not all Nigerians are dumb.

efisher:
The experts at the economists also think the way I do on this subject. I guess that makes the writers of the article "GEJ fans" as some have suggested. Lol

thekrafter:
Do YOU know the answers to these questions?
If the bus carries people for free or at a similar cost to previous methods of transportation will you shut your mouth then?  
If the government is supplying the buses to alleviate the pain of subsidy removal, does it not stand to reason that they will not be as expensive as current methods of transport? Abi you want Nigeria to subsidize your weekend runs in your car?! Or subsidize your watching Big Brother on DSTV? FOUL!!
The poorest will get help from the government. Lazy people like you who want goodies for free can go and die!!

crestbiz:
texazzpete, you are nothing but a fool

BIGGEST FOOL OF ALL  

dmainboss:
What has your people ever done for Nigeria? Tell me? What price or sacrifice have you ever made? NADA! Thats right! Absolutely nothing! You are talking crap. we want out. We will not fight. You go out there and do your own bit.
[/quoted]

Sorry, im not childish like you. I look at what difference i can make instead of hiding behind 'kinsmen' or 'people'. I know a shitty policy when i see one and so i must act against it.
You and your folk will not leave Nigeria soon anyway so why doesnt the need to improve your lot in the current situation sink through your thick skull?

Your words are just as stupid as a world war 1 veteransaying he would not fight to defend his house  during ww2 because he had already fought and sacrificed before.

Micuilles:
The S/s & East are not protesting because we know the truth. How can a bottle of water which is 7.5cl cost more than a liter of petrol? We are tired of paying rent of 200k for a bedroom flat, experiencing black outs & abject poverty while Nigeria subsidizes petrol which is used only by the rich. The money should be used to fix out roads, refineries, electricity, housing etc. which will in turn create jobs. We will endure buying petrol at 150 like other countries do, until our refineries are working, refining Petrol, kerosine & others, and then it is subsidized for far less than the N65 some idiots are fighting for. Wake up naija, this is the best move by fg for 20years coming. GEJ carry go,

crestbiz:
Only an  will go out there and waste his/her life, even if you like protest from now till 2015, govt will not change their mind, so as an igbo business person leaving in SE, what i will do is just to transfer the burden of hike in price of fuel to my customers by increasing the price of my goods and i expect them to do same to their customers. for the working class person, ask for pay rise from the employers, and your employers know how to get their money increment  from their source, (don't pity them, is your right, give them reason - high price of  transportation).
in fact this a circle that if you follow this rule , the burden will still get to the government.  
so knowing this why should i waste my time (which is money) to  walk under the sun in the name of protesting.
my dear be WISE

IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN CONTINUE PROTESTING, BUT PRAY THAT THE FATE OF THAT DEAD BOY SHOULD NOT MEET YOU ON THE PROTESTING GROUND AND THE HIGHEST YOUR PEOPLE WILL DO IS TO CALL YOU A FOOL AND BURY YOU.

SO BYE. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

E nice:
What NLC should be doing is monitor the revenue from subsidy and the implementation of palliatives so that the money is not looted, Not going on a protest that would further improvish the masses and benefit the rich.

BlackBaron:
Couple of places 'unknown' do exist on the web. . .

We couldn't let LG have all the fun alone now though

If y'all still on Shadowgun, I'm rocking Street Fighter 4 on my droid.

muami:
If I understand the article and your point, it actually supports why sudsidy should be removed. If refinery margins deteriorated  in the OECD ( where there is no subsidy), then who would come and invest in Nigeria with subsidy?

muami:
Actually, our refineries are not working because of fuel subsidy. This is because, due to the price of fuel in Nigeria, private investors have been unable to profitably establish refineries in Nigeria.

Thor:
It is interesting to see that many Nigerians consider they have a right to never-ending fuel subsidies. Surely, in any country, whether wealthy or poor, it is most important that taxes are spent first on providing basic services, such as education and health?

An expectation that taxes are for subsidising people's fuel consumption bodes badly for any country.  

muami:
I think the poster is perfectly right in comparing the price of fuel in Nigeria with that of UK and the fact that standard of living or minimum wage in the UK is higher than Nigeria's does not diminish the argument. This is because fuel is an international product and the price is fixed internationally regardless of  the GDP or income of individual countries. Consequently, it makes economic sense to pay the international price for it, whether in Nigeria or UK.
Let me ask all those condemning the poster's argument. Can you go to an airline(both domestic and international) and ask them to reduce their prices in Nigeria simply because minimu wage in Nigeria is low? All of you that are using Blackberry phones, did you get it for a lower price than what it is sold for in the UK? What about your laptop? Did you buy it for less in Nigeria? I can go on and on but I see little need for it because I have observed that most of the arguments against the removal of the subsidy has been more sentimental than objective!

Beaf:
What we must do is ensure that the money is judiciously spent, if not we can match into the streets.

bjdon:
I think this is a good move. People let's try and look at this matter objectivly. No govt anywhere in the world can be expected to keep a subsidy on fuel. The fuel importing cartels have been doing everything in their power to ensure that our Refiniaries stay down. Now that fuel will sell at 'Market price' they will no longer have any incentive to continue to sabotage the refiniaries. Also the 20 private licneses that been awarded will now be acted on as the investors can now make a good business case for proceeding. I agree there will be pain in the short term, but people, thats what TRANSFORMATION is all about. Do you really think Ngozi and Sanusi will be advocating something that is bad for the nation?

gsmdealer:
SLOT is selling the play book (16GB) for N50,000, you can go to their Ikeja office to confirm. I went to computer village today. Yours is even expensive. Give me a call on 08099930333 if you are ready to sell for 40k. RIM is cutting down the cost of the Playbook as part of their end of year sales. Try and Google it. It is sold for 199 pounds now in the UK.

Happy selling.

The ban of okada in Abuja was a breath of fresh air. I don't know about Lagos.

They are doing business. If you choose not to buy then explore another means.

Yes we should support them but has to be those who were democratically elected. No military persons who planned coups and got power therefrom should be included
