@Lutherblaq Something that beat my imagination is how someone will suddenly anounce the removal of subsidy on his inauguration day without a single plan Did he thinks nigeria is iragbiji. @me This issue has been on for too long with attendant politiking, lobbying, diverse interests and falsehood. I bet you the moment the president sits on that seat for one week without taking the action labour will come up with the usual demand of fix all refineries before subsidy can be removed. Buy buses for workers. Increase minimum wage etc. This will go on till the end of this year. The current approach is better. Remove subsidy and discuss the palliatives. It takes a strong leader to do what tinubu did. He has a full grasp of the problems and his own approach before mounting on that seat. Bubu didn't. Time is short. Nigeria is down. We don't have the luxury of time |

Make at least one refinery work first. Masses can not always be at the receiving end. Average man will be drag into abject poverty in no time. |

Bros I am sorry if my tone appears to be insulting but i swear it is not meant to be. I tried to avoid using insults, but just needed to highlight that we should try to criticize constructively and not just for the sake of it. I know how the hardship will hit mostly the general populace, but the reality is that nothing good in this life comes with ease. We can envy the developed nations of this world but if we can go through their histories of development, we will find that they have passed through difficult stages like this. I have seen pictures of where people were fetching water with buckets from fire hydrants on the streets of London in the 70s due to water shortage. What about the great depression of the 30s? It is obvious that subsidy would have to go at one point and all three major contenders have said the same thing about removing it . I actually referred to Peter Obi because it mostly his Obidient lots that would continue to have issues with any steps taken by the present administration and it was meant to show that even Peter Obi said he would remove the subsidy immediately without any day longer.

It appears people do not have the full grasp of what the subsidy entails. Subsidy is not only about imported fuel. It means even locally refined products would no longer be subsidised and so even if all the refineries in Nigeria are working full blast, fuel prices would still be determined by the international price of crude oil. Yes we might save a bit on cost of freight for imported fuels, but it still would never sell for N185. Do you know that Saudi Arabia used to subsidise fuel for its people so much that a litre of oil used to be cheaper than a litre of water but even they no longer do the same again and fuel price in Saudi is now comparable to most other countries with or without oil. Fuel is now cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi , Iraq, UAE, Qatar, Oman and Russia. Of all the key players in the oil sector with prices lower than Nigeria, only Kuwait can be described as having any meaningful economic developments. The rest like Iran, Venezuela, and Angola are spending so much on subsidies at the expense of infrastructural growth https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/ frowland: 2 Likes |

You don't just wake up one morning and remove subsidy. You didn't engage stakeholders. How are workers on a minimum wage of 33,000 able to cope with the high cost of transport and feeding? It's not fair now. It's those who have filthy money that won't see anything wrong with this. How about that cleaner or security man in your office? How is he supposed to cope. Some don't even earn up to minimum wage. I knew a security man who was earning 27,000 monthly. Imagine. |

i dont know exactly what we want in this country. for years. the TUC and NLC battle and criticized the government for paying subsidy, alleging they are using it to siphon money. now that the government, howbeit removed the subsidy, same TUC and NLC, are clamouring the government should return to status quo- or what do they mean? |
Re: Subsidy Removal: Revert To Status Quo – TUC Tells FG by moneyissweet(m): 9:51am On Jun 04, 2023 |
I am obidient, but I can comfortably say that it shall be well with Tinubu for removing fuel subsidy. At least I will stop seeing our fuels in the streets of Cotonou and Togo Thank you Tinubu. You did very well sir. For this action,I am now agbadorian. |
