FG is very funny. The increment will take effect April 30th after which election would have been conducted. I will never vote for a shoeless man cos he can never be trusted.

989900:
1. The increment is too steep.
2. We have corrupt enforcers.
3. We have Cotonou.
4. We have a very unstable Naira.
5. Low power generation.
6. Almost no refineries (which is sad) to make pump prices lower (vehicles need fuel+other economic reasons).
7. Government subsidized vehicle loans will be great, to speed up growth of local car manufacturers.
P.S. The intents are good, but the execution is poor as always.

Makes sense!

^^^ Whats really wrong with y'all APC propagandist? The increase in tariffs for imported automobile is to encourage local automobile manufacturers. Common SS2 Economics student will tell you that one way of encouraging local production is increasing import tariffs. That's called Import Substitution Strategy. Aren't you ashamed that Nigeria has become a dumping ground for every kind of crap produced in other climes? We have Innoson, PAN, ANNAMCO, VON, Nissan and other automobile manufacturers in Nigeria and we know that government is trying to revitalize them so as to boosts our economy. Yet you criticize this one very good move government makes to see to its realization. Many of these imported cars have been used for above five years and then they're moved to Nigeria for dumping, after which when you buy, you'll use for no more than three years and the money u would have spent on repairs and maintenance may have exceeded the original cost. Some brand new Innoson cars go for 1.5m and they're trying to beat it down to 1m. So which is better ; buying a brand new car for 1.5m and enjoying it for 3 to 4 years without excessive repair cost or buying a tokie car for 800thousand and spending over 500thousand on repairs in 3 years. A relation of mine has spent about 300th on repairs on a tokie car he bought for about 800th and the car IS STILL HAVING ISSUES. Wont it have been better to just buy a brand new made-in-Nigeria car and save yourself some unecessary stress. Why are we so used to cheap craps and worthless articles? Is that what APC wants for us? SMH. Which way Nigeria? #SeeBeyondPropaganda

In Fela's word; we fear to fight for freedom and Liberty. We always have reason to fear. Sure I can but the battle can't b lead by just 1 man. The battle in Egypt 2years ago wasn't let by just 1man,its a collective effort and responsibility
