NIGERIANS USE UR HEAD TO ASK
QUESTIONS. They APC criminals ve
come again to decieve you as they
did in the last general election.
Now they want you to accept this
"subsidy removal" by fire by force.
They ve started opening up
deception thrends like this
particular one to decieve you again.
To catch a thief is very simple, all u
need do is to jst relax and watch
them contradicting themselves in
the sense of wnting to steal frm u.
They will condem and come back
to what they condem, they will
promise heaven and earth and can
not even give u a kobo. They will
blame others as a reason of their
failure. They will use u as foo.ls to
protest against the policy of a
sitting government and go back to
dat same policy witout minnding
that some of u lost ur life, witout
minding that ur businesses ws shot
down. This people (APC) are all run
away theives from the PDP. And nw
they ve come to decieve u to
accept hardship. Shine ur eyes
naija. Let's collectively reject this
lies and demonic agent cajoling
themselves as saint whereas they
are wolf who wnt to destroy
humanity. |

The issue of dollar/naira has not been addressed so far. Official/Parallel exchange rate calls for address. Is there any hidden agenda on why the parallel exchange rate cannot be dealt with? |

I believe majority of Nigerians aren't against the Subsidy removal, all we ask for is some succor, it could be inform of increase in salaries, subsidized transport system, something, ANYTHING. But don't just remove subsidy and do ABSOLUTELY nothing, telling me the price will drop in 6 months. Are you kidding me, so for 6 FREAKING MONTHS, how am i to cope.... |

plaetton: Sir, "...the government of Buhari has NOT been pretending and living in the fool's paradise that NAIRA exchange is N200 to the dollar." The truth is that CBN official rate remains N200 to $1 whilst the Black market rate fluctuate between N300-N350 to $1. The importers of petroleum products enjoys the official RATE of N200 to $1 but unfortunately, when there is NOT enough dollars by CBN to sell to the importers due to lower federal government revenue because of low crude oil price, what will and should government do? FOR THE LAY MAN: 1) CBN IS THE BANKER OF ALL BANKS AND THE BANKER OF THE FGN 2) THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SELL CRUDE OIL IN DOLLARS. 3) WHEN THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL IS HIGH, FGN MAKES MORE DOLLARS THUS HAVE MORE DOLLARS TO SELL. 4) WHEN THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL IS LOWER, FGN MAKES LESS DOLLARS THUS HAVE LESS DOLLARS TO SELL. (BECAUSE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL HAS BEEN VERY VERY LOW FOR OVER 18 MONTHS NOW IS WHY GOVERNMENT STOP SELLING DOLLARS TO BUREAU DE CHANGE AND ALSO BANK THE IMPORTATION OF SOME NON ESSENTIAL GOODS AS WELL AS EXCLUDED SOME OTHER GOODS FROM ACCESSING THE OFFICIAL CBN RATE OF ACTUALLY N198 TO $1. OR ROUNDED UP WE SAY N200. 5) FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SELL DOLLARS TO IMPORTERS OF FUEL AT OFFICIAL RATE. BUT SOMETIMES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE DOLLARS TO SELL BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH. SO THE IMPORTERS HAVE TO SOURCE FOR DOLLARS ON THEIR OWN OR NOT IMPORT AT ALL WHICH MIGHT CAUSE SHORTAGE OF FUELS AND RESULTED TO SCARCITY OF FUEL AND LONG LINES AT THE FILLING STATION. 6) GOVERNMENT NOW IS SAYING THAT THEY WANT TO GET OUT OF SUBSIDY ALTOGETHER BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS INVOLVED BUT OF COURSE, WILL STILL REGULATE THE PRICING MODULE THIS IS WHY MR IBE KACHIKWU SAY PRICE OF PETROL WILL BE BETWEEN N135-N145. ADVICE: 1) QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ASKED OF GOVERNMENT SUCH AS: A) CAN ANYBODY NOW IMPORT FUEL AS THEY WISH JUST AS AGO, B) CAN THE IMPORTER ACCESS OFFICIAL DOLLAR RATE OR THEY ARE OYO (ON YOUR OWN) C) WHAT IF CRUDE OIL PRICE INCREASES SHARPLY IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET AND PRICE OF PETROL RISES ALONG WITH IT? WHAT SOCIAL PALLIATIVE WILL BE EMPLOYED TO ASSUAGE THE EFFECT? D) WHEN WILL THE NEW REFINERIES COME ON BOARD? E) HAVE THEY OFFICIALLY EXIT THE KEROSENE SUBSIDY REGIME AND CAN ANY IMPORTER ALSO ENGAGE IN THAT IMPORTATION. F) WHEN WILL THEY DISTRIBUTE THE FREE GAS CYLINDERS TO THE POOR MASSES AND WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE WILL THEY HAVE ON GROUND SO THAT EVERYONE WHO NEEDS GAS CAN ACCESS IT AT A FAIR PRICE AND ADEQUATELY? 2) LABOR UNIONS SHOULD ASK FOR IMMEDIATE REVIEW OF THEIR SALARIES TO AT LEAST, DOUBLE OF WHAT THE CURRENT MINIMUM IS I.E. N36,000. 3) WE MUST DEMAND FOR A WELL FUNDED AND WELL EQUIPPED POLICE FORCE AND OF COURSE, MORE RECRUITMENT; THAT APPROVED 10,000 RECRUITMENT SPOT IS DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH, WE SHOULD BE TALKING OF A YEARLY INCREASE OF MINIMUM 50,000 FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS. WHY? BECAUSE THE FEAR OF AN EFFICIENT NON-BRIBE TAKING POLICE FORCE IS THE BEGINNING OF ORDERLINESS, CRIME PREVENTION AND ENFORCEMENT. GO SEE THE DEVELOP WORLD. THE MERE SEEING OF A POLICE CAR BEHIND YOUR OWN IS THE ULTIMATE REASON TO OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS. WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING POLICE OFFICERS AS BEGGERS ON THE STREET AND EXTORTIONIST IN THEIR POLICE STATIONS. CONCLUSION: SUBSIDY OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS MUST GO AND NEVER REAR ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. ASIDE OF THE WASTE WHICH IT HAS BEEN CONSTITUTING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. IT IS ALSO A SHAME ON OUR COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE THAT WE ARE IMPORTING PRODUCTS IN WHICH WE HAVE COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE SOURCE OF RAW MATERIALS FOR THOSE PRODUCTS. RATHER THAN IMPORTING FUELS, NIGERIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE AFRICAN LEADER IN THE EXPORTATION OF REFINED PRODUCTS AND THIS IS WHY I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED SUBSIDY REMOVAL. AM USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CALL ON ALL MONEY-BAGS TO JUMP ON THIS SHIP NOW: BUILD REFINERIES EITHER MODULAR OR GREENFIELD, BUILD GAS DISPENSING DEPOTS...THESE ARE BUSINESSES FOR THE PRESENT AND NOW... GOVERNMENT SHOULD ALSO ENCOURAGE THE USE OF DUAL POWER FOR THE ROAD TRANSPORT OWNERS I.E. ENACT LAWS WHICH WILL MAKE ALL BUSES USE BOTH GAS AND PETROL SO THAT WE CAN REDUCE THE USE OF PETROL. FYI: NIGERIA IS SAID TO BE THE 4TH LARGEST OWNER OF GAS RESERVE...WE CAN START TO HARNESS THE POTENTIALS OF THIS RESERVE AND USE ITS PROCEED TO BENEFIT OUR PEOPLE. TAKING A BREAK FOR NOW PEACE! |

myhotbrain: I totally agree with almost of your points. However, I think the so-called official exchange rate is a delusion and constitute the REAL SUBSIDY that the government needs to detach itself from ASAP. A dual exchange rate system is an economic oxymoron in a corrupt nation like ours. 1 Like 1 Share |

ba7man: You people keep making GEJ look like a bad person.... The idea of the TSA and subsidy removal was a set plan to ensure that there will be no leakage of national funds.... Again, koboko69 has agreed on his original post that with the invention of SURE-P there was no political hijacking! Everyone who were qualified benefited from it... And refineries were working under GEJ's regime.. Although, it was working below 50% and we refined local products as at when GEJ took over as a president... No one will accuse PMB until he's out of the office and perhaps if another party takes over from the APC, only then will PMB and his ilks be exposed... Corruption alone comes in when the budget was padded.. Whether Buhari noticed it or not.. It means there are corrupt persons in his midst... And how will he fight corruption from afar while doz closer to him are all corrupt? |

OrlandoOwoh: Your hypocrisy and that of those that liked your post is second to none. When there was excess as claimed by yourself and subsidy was to be removed, didn't your tipsy brain tell you we had a buoyant economy that could withstand the immediate impact of the removal and such we won't have felt the impact deep like now that the economy is struggling to survive. Are you so senate not see the proactive Ness of a man who meant well for the national ? Atleast the fuel price won't have gotten beyond 120 more so, we will be well nd over that by now and prices would have stabilised and possibly cheaper and suitable now that oil prices global is low as dumb calculated by you minister of Petroleum during the last campaign when he said fuel could sell for 40 naira with the low crude oil price. It's now that the removal is justifiable when the impact can is deeply felt and would linger for a long while. Defend you incompetent and useless president all you like and justify everything while still blaming the last administration for his gross failure too. Feel sorry for you and zombie followers |
Re: The Notable Difference Between Jonathan And Buhari's Subsidy Removal by rolams(m): 9:11pm On May 13, 2016 |
Hmmm! I wonder what op is analysing. Not sorry to say that your analysis is based on bias mind. Pls consider the following before defending subsidy removal at this present time. 1. Salary is fixed while transportation cost increases 2. Cost of living is high while earning/income remain fixed. 3. Poverty rate is high as there is no job. 4. It will take a long period before diversification to agriculture will yield positive result. 5. Power sector is poor 6. High cost of production will lead to increase in price. 7. Workers will be underpaid as employer tries to reduced cost of production taking advantage of high rate of unemployment. 8. There is room for high crime rate as people are frustrated. 9. Boosting agric sector alone will not solve the problems because there are raw materials we don't have in Nigeria and we need them. There are more reasons why subsidy removal is wrong at this time. Consider the present situation we are now before supporting it. NO JOB, NO MONEY, THINGS ARE HARD, COST OF LIVING IS HIGHER, SALARY IS FIXED, OUR ECONOMY IS DOWN, IT'S NOT YET TIME TO REAP THE SEED OF DIVERSIFICATION. Pls reason well ooooo! |
