bennygee: shame on nigerian leaders in power and even a bigger shame on peeps like ckkris who dont have any iota of understanding on how a proper govt should be run.
the question on the lips of nigerians should be;
1)why should nigeria ,the 6th highest producer of crude oil in the world not have a functional refinery?
2)why should Govt continue to import fuel and force the price of refining,importation,storage and transportattion on nigerians
3)how come our Govt is always quick to compare our petrol prices with those of non -oil producing countries while were a major producer ? why dont we compare ourselves with the likes of venezuela,saudi arabia and pakistan who are also top producers and cost of fuel in those countries is less than $1/gallon
our leaders do not even buy fuel/they have allocations monthly and dont feel the effect of the high cost of purchasing fuel in a country which everything is tied to petroleum and its products.
manufacturing industries are folding up cos of high cost of production with diesel cost takiong more than 50% of production cost and yet the shameless govt cant even provide stable electricity for 12 hrs /day.
ckkris and co who keep spewing rubbish in support of Jona,ur sowing wrong seeds and it would surely bear fruit which if ur generation does not reap,ur children and grandchildren would surely dance to the music.
shameless pigs who get high on the cries of anguish of suffering nigerians.

Yar'Adua didn't increase fuel brother, he reduced it and this same Yar'Adua was a member of PDP! How come you much celebrated and infamous GEJ is different? His own increase far outweigh others...

omeiz93: @sincere nigeria, i want to put it onto you that, the late Musa Ya'aradua, when he was the president of this country did not increase pump price of fuel, please relate with your facts and figures before you comment, so this points of your argument does not hold water at all.

DivideUs: do what ever you want, just make the bombings stop!!!!!!

Akshow: 22million people that voted Jonathan. Naija don enter one chance till 2015

Sincere 9gerian:
Ignorance is a disease. Read below what Olusegun Adeniyi, the then Yar Adua spokesperson, wrote on this issue in his latest book:

"it ws d reduction of d pump price of fuel from #65 to #60 dat triggered d increase in subsidy payments. Yar'adua used dat reduction to gain some level of legitimacy,following wide condemnations dat trailed hs election.
D FIFA under 17 world cup in Nigeria in 2009 preventd yar'adua from total removal of subsidy cos he didnt want Nigerians to protest while we had foreigners in our midst. He travelled 2 saudi 2days b4 d policy could be effectd & never came back" (olusegun adeniyi - politics,power n death)

joseph1832:
For your information Mr Man Yar'Adua reduced the price of fuel from N70 to N65! Ignorance is truely a disease.

Guys please be wise.. These are diversionary tactics... It's a grand plot to divert peoples' attention from Alamesia's pardon saga.. It's a delibrate attempt to play on the intelligents of Nigerians:.. I will never be involved in this..

Yoshi-Master:
In an ideal world I would support the removal of subsidy, so that the money can be used to further develop the country, but what guarantee is there that such money would be used judiciously?

Come to think of it, why do we need subsidy in the first place?

If we had working refineries, petroleum products would be very affordable for all.

Now they can claim that the subsidy money could be used towards building refineries, but again, what proof is there that the money would be used responsibly. I would rather they take out a loan to finance such projects, or hand them over to the private sector, and simply regulate.

Most Nigerians are their own government:

We provide our light (even most of us are forced to research into solar energy and contemplate huge costs just for power)
We provide our water (if you don't have borehole, then....)
...
...
but

Please we can't provide our own petrol for cheap. Here is one of the very, very, few areas in which the populous can claim, boast even, that they feel the impact of having a government.

Take that away, and what are we left with?

caesaraba:

Harry porter no fit solve this one o.

boladez: REAL OGA AT THE TOP.....haba insurgents bombed Kano yesterday 70 souls perished, you condemn as usual and go relapse to your clueless mode. Next thing Talk about increase in pump price of fuel.

You no be President you are nemesis that God has deployed to punish this country. Oma ale wey dey take left hand point to him papa house.

Boko Haram people are bastards. If they truly have liver make dem face Government people who are killing this country.

BREATH OF FRESH AIR............I WILL BE VERY GLAD IF HE DOES DAT.....AT LEAST NIGERIANS WILL HAVE A SECOND CHANCE TO DETERMIND THERE FUTURE

Ilekokonit: Come to think of it, why is this Jonathan so heartless??

The last subsidy removal on 1st Jan 2012 was announced a few days after the Christmas day bombings and now a day or 2 after the Kano bombing he is announcing more plans to put the long suffering masses into more misery. Doesn't this guy think ??. Or is he trying to punish Nigerians for exposing him to the world for pardoning a fugitive money launderer.

ewet: Ojota here we come!Get redy to host us for a very very long time cause we r not leaving until we see the end of this GEJ.
My advice to NLC and TUC or whichever group to lead the protest is to evolve new tactics for the protest.Total lock down will not work and its getting old fahioned. You do not need force the whole country to stay at home, all u need is get the support of key unions such as PENGASSAN,NUPENG,NURTW,ASSBIFI,NMA,NBA and all other vital bodies to support the strike and i tell you if this unions decide not to go to work i tell you nigeria will grind to a halt automatically. Dont worry abt the petty trader,vulcanizer,farmer,tailor,hair dresser and all other common people who live on daily subsistence because by the time this major unions dont work and the economy is being halted thy will all be whipped in line to join the struggle.
