My problem is that when the president make a statement such as "We know these people, bombing will be a thing of the past" and this was last yr  october, the security chiefs still have their jobs and this thing went on all through this year even up until christmas. So pls tell me who should we blame for the insecurity of the nation then, is it not their job to protect the citizenry  and fish out the so called boko haram sect. So pls tell me who to blame, you are all shouting northern leaders, so uve identified them so y not do something about  it if they are the ones

rafhell:
don't just blame Jonathan or the police. blame the northern leaders like buhari, atiu, ibb and co.

also blame the emirs in the north who get monthly allowance and salary from the government but sit down in tacit approval.

also blame the silly imams and islamic apologist who preach nothing good about Christians in their evil covens called mosques.

i think the time has come for everyone to open their eyes and see that these evil and religious b-astards have started a jihad

Pls dont even piss me off today!!, Dis thing is not today, It happend on oct 1st last year, GEJ even said it with his mouth  "We know this  people and we  apprehend them" and till this day  this bombing  is still happning and your telling me  not to blame jonathan  or the police, what is theri job then if they cannot  protect the common citizen  and yet they can buy bullet and bomb proff cars for themselves,

Cmmon not beans on such a dai, wake up sundai morning have a special family breakfast, got church, as an ekiti man comeback get my pounded yam!!!,

sledge406:
. . .Funny to see the "CABALS" sitting right in front (FRONT SEAT) of them and "SMILING" yet they are screaming do this, do that. People who control the government from the comfort of their living room via a remote control and a mobile phone.

Russian's finest?

As for Deziani, I know WACK indeed is her middle name and whoever claps is a dunce!

looool, Dangote and Otedola

Im sorry tho, but when 1 of the refineries was sold to Dangote and otedola when obj was about to leave government, we were all shouting then and the sale was revoked, is it not the same thing sanusi is saying again!??!!

Hmmmm strong words, "WE are xporting jobs and importing umemployent"

I hope the likes of IBB are wathcing this today , so they know NIGERIA WILL SUCCEED AND MOVE ON from the ruins he left behind!!

alj_harem:
Lamido already answered the question

he said inflation of about 30 % (15 x 2)

he said he wishes he could reduce it to single figures but it is what it is it.

he also selfishly said that the public would feel the pinch but we are not doing it to serve the public but to do the right thing

ops guess i missed that part, 30%

I av not heard anybody ask the real Question: WHAT WILL BE THE COST TO NIGERIANS!!, ask LAMIDO, what will be the estimated LEVEL OF INFLATION when the subsidy is removed!!, we dont want to hear wht we already kno

OMG!!, dis  so called Ministers are not answering the question, Alison: what are you doin or what have you done to stop it, simple? we dont want to hear  anyother thing

dis woman dint ans the real question, They asked about  SUV's and feeding asko rock

Oknojo ans d question jor,

The president and his deputy will together enjoy N992.57 million worth of food and general catering services in 2012.

According to a detailed analysis of the N4.749trillion budget the president presented to lawmakers last week, the cost of purchasing food stuffs, catering supplies, kitchen equipments for the president and his vice, and their offices, will cost the nation N992.57 million, about N7 million away from a billion naira.

This is where we waste things a lot, d ones that were there b4 what happened to them?

Before in nigeria some toll gate staffs use to go to work with their own printed tickets,issue them in place of the official ones and syphon most of the collections into papaer bags for their own uses,just like the police do at check points.

I wonder how responsible and accountable toll collection is in nigeria now?Tinubu probably have found a way in commandeering it and making sure the staffs are loyal to him,just like the agberos and their chairmen in the nigerian motor parks.

Nigeria we hail thee for being so crooked.

I would take it that you were just joking!!, if not since uve u bn reading this whole story u dint see that the tolls are bn operated by the Lekki Concession Company and not thestate Government

Please do me one favour and see which other news paper carries this article, such a cheap  plot by southwest PDP  using COMPASSNEWSPAPER. of all things, even if it were Tribune I would say it is relaible, but cmmon this is rubbish, we all know how bode elewon george was at the forefront of this protest, 506bn my Bottom and im still yet to understand why everybody is shouting Tinubu

All in all , WHO BEARS THE BURDEN, WHO DOES IT AFFECT THE MOST?, we the masses!!,

Very stupid thing to do !!, for crying out loud its a state road and there are so many federal road within Lagos that they failed to do anything to .

Beaf pls jus keep  quiet if u dnt av any reasonable thing to say!! rather than jus insighting all this rubbish. This is where  people like beaf jus like twisting the whole story. Nobody is saying they should not protest but when theri protest starts becoming a menace and disturbing the peace, why shouldnt the police get involved?, People can be really fuuny @ least those protesting opened their eyes down when they were building the toll gate, y didnt they complian then. If the Government decides to pull the toll down ( of which it wont happen) they are the same people that would be shouting waste of tax payers money!!

Obasanjo failed to act on warning signs of looming religious violence in Jos that claimed 1,000 lives

So its even a thing of the past, no be today dem start and our government has still not found a solution 10 yrs on

2nd October 1995 - ITN News
Abacha announces he will remain in power for another 3years = 1998 when he died

Brillinat, good marketing der by Hennesy!!, its gonna cost them thoo

Beaf:
I am for real.

It is best we look at the realities on the ground, wars need vast amounts of money; in that regard, the ND is totally underrated in the average Nigerian mind.
If the ND decides it has definitely had enough, only the US would be able to exert pressure to keep the country together; the problem will be way too big for the rest of Nigeria. To make matters worse, it is 100% certain that the SE will follow suit, closely followed by the Middle Belt; like the ND, those two regions are quite unhappy; even the SW has shown dissatisfaction with OPC's show of force a couple of days ago. If the ND leaves, Nigeria will rapidly implode.

hmmm, Interesting FACT!!

Beaf:
Army take over the country? Lol!
Thats a dream mate! Those days are long gone, any coup today will amount to a declaration of war.

We are missing out the import of JRC's message. They are asking for all Northern Muslims to leave the ND immediately and for all ND people to start returning home. It is an ominous message that better be taken seriously. If things go full hog, then Nigeria is about to say goodbye to oil and free meals forever.

If the ND decides to break free, there will be little anyone can do, as all the money Nigeria makes comes from there and you cannot prosecute a war on an empty stomach.

R u for real??, Beaf u cn do beta than this!!!

Kai see Nigerians see how they are turning ur heads up and down  oya start killing each other. This is  the hand work of  those that dint want GEJ in power, it said it will cause religious and ethnic tension, that its a northerner that should be there. Isnt it happninng now??, I wonder IF we cannot for once just be NIGERIANS rather than jus taking this ethnicity thing to a whole new level

I wouldnt use the word afraid!!, but more like very catious of IRAN!!, reason being ISRAEL. If Iran implodes , Israel would definitely get involved, of which it is already getting involved , MOSSAD has been taking out most of irans nuclear scientists. So the fear factor for the USA is the middle east and its billion dollar interest in the middle east. Hence the peace has to be kept in the middle east and they are keeping very close eyes on Iran and Isreal

instead of building schools, hospitals, and infrastructure we build churches so we can pray for better schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. SMH

VULCAN:
BigUps to youngmonie!
Its refrershing to come across somebody who can cut thru all the sentimental bull and use insight to understand whats going on! I have mentioned this same line of argument (offline)in respect to what happens when the subsidy is removed and was dumbfounded that peeps dont get it.

That the so called cartel will lose by the removal of subsidy is a half truth. Only the weakest members will lose out. All the big boys will benefit. Reason being that we will still be importing fuel and who do you think will get those contracts

What will happen now is that 10 or 11 of the biggest boys will get those contracts to import fuel with one major difference. They will no longer have to bribe the chaps in PPRA and PEF to collect the subsidy back. Now all they have to do is sell in the open market. At around N150 per litre. For those who wonder why the number will reduce isnt it obvious that when u actually have to sell your product and not sign fictitious figures with greedy government officials; then the real supply of fuel will reduce as if u calculate all the these 28 coys claim they are bringing in- it is more than enough for 200million people

This situation will persist for about three to four years while the same big boys are building their own refineries then the number will gradually reduce as their wont be much demand for imported fuel again. By the time if the masses have not revolted they will have accepted a form of economic slavery to the ruling classes.

I dont need to mention that armed robbery, kidnapping(especially kidnapping) will dramatically increase during this three year period. Kidnapping cos it is preferable to armed robbery by most criminally minded graduates as blood does not have to be spilt.

Guys its gonna be one heck of a ride! Put your helmets on.

Thank you ohh, you kno ur economics very well!!!!,

nex:
This Senator Magnus Abe is mentally disturbed! How are these companies "benefitting" from subsidies?! So if subsidy is removed, and they imported and sold to Nigerians directly at N200/litre, will they not benefit even more ?! These companies are only trying to make up for government's inefficiencies, and now this unlearned fellow is blaming them. Something is seriously wrong with this man's brain.

WE NEED REFINERIES, NOT "NAMES OF NOISE-MAKERS"!

MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU FOR THAT STATEMENT, Read some of my post. I said this companies are not to blame, blame the government

moderatorr:
senate should enact a law that basically says
'companies should not benefit from fuel subsidy
but masses should'.
I know that's possible,some how.
If its done, FG will get half of the money they want for the development of the nation, and the masses will also benefit.
GEJ was right all the way, but i think he should look into this suggestion.

And of what importance will that be, it still going to cost the government a whole lot  of money. In d short run  Nigerians are just going to have to live with that reality that fuel prices are gonna be expensive even though it provides government with more money to put into developmental projects and even this same oil companies will make more money as the price of petroleum will be high. But  the government realy need to  fix up the refineries  or sell them if they cnt afford to maintain them

Demdem:
Can someone kindly confirm if MRS is for dantata or dangote? I think its the latter.
@ poster.
Good development no doubt. The mere fact thatt the bulk of the beneficiaries are pdp members suggest the reason  why we can't have new refineries of our own to stop this menace. Govt will give reasons why new refineries seems to be impossible here in Nigeria however it isn't impossible in Niger. Everyday is for the thief, one day is for owner, no yawa. Let's wait and see what happens after subsidy removal.
My main grouse now are to those that [b]voted for the retardeen [/b]and not pdp. Hope u all can now see your folly. Trully and indeed, it takes idiots to be governed by fools.

This has nothing to do with GEJ. The real problem is obj. if obj had repaired the refineries and built new ones or even started new ones we wnt be having this problems by now and the facts is that all of them from obj to GEJ benefitted from the proceeds of the subsidy  through election funding .

GWslim:
These companies are owned by the sole called rich-men in Nigeria. Thank God, they will be noted for revolution in Nigeria.

And wht is their offence IF  i may ask?, subsidy?, if people should pass any blame here pass it on  the government.  The Petroleum Support Fund policy of the government ensures that these players receive subsidy payment  on imported fuel. ITs a damn business model. So all  this ranting about rich people owing the companies and that are stealing from Nigerias is just very absurd, THEY HAVENT COMMITED ANY CRIME!!. The real crime is within NNPC for allowing the astronomical increase in subsidy payment from N500m to N1.4 trillion in one year and granting licences to all these unknown companies

vascey:
My brother/ sister please check your facts.
These guys (I mean Capital Oil, Folawiyo, NIPCO etc) all have tank farms. I know this because my friend is a petroleum surveyor and has been to the tank farms belonging to most of these companies. I don't know about registration with CAC but I guarantee you, that's not a difficult thing to do.
If at all any of them do not have, then they will be the minority.
The fraud I percieve is in the astronomical increase from N500m to N1.4 trillion in one year. Someone needs to check that and tell us what happened.

But what should be done is verify the amount received tallies with amount of subsidy collected. Only then can u allege wrong doing
