It doesn't make sense for subsidy and all it's corruption to be restored


What the government needs to do, and they ought to have done that already, is significantly increase salaries of employees and provide other reasonable palliatives to cusshion the effects of the removal.

PMS is not necessarily more expensive in Nigeria than elsewhere but wages & incomes in Nigeria are definitely very poor

Correct, if people are paid enough to be able to afford petrol the subsidy removal wouldn't have being a problem.


It is like a person who is addicted to smoking, before quitting smoking he shoulda had other remedy put in place to help his craves for smoking otherwise he will end up back to smoking again. i hope i made sense.

Subsidy is a criminal enterprise. What government should prioritize is giving support to owners of modular refineries.

More licenses should be given to them and the government should give them tax rebates.

Your school fees was not wasted!

You got brains!

I can't take it no more, that a man who is clearly a nobody can u is crime which we all can see to continue to operate. There is no motivation fotr to go on, maybe I should foon the japa syndrome. It is terrible and a let down of everything er are in the eyes of the world.

Will you be the one to be helping the government to get the money that they will be using for the assistance?

There's no point restoring it cos I heard some buy 1L for 32 naira.

Ehen...why without a protest...dey play.




Wittyness

Tell me an oil produci;g country in the world that is as large as Nigeria but yet subsidise fuel way below their neighbouring countries?
Fuel subsidy is only beneficient to west African countries and not Nigeria.
Other measures can be taken to cushion the effect but not when we have neighbouring scavengers to smugle it.

Did you read the article and be better informed, instead of regurgitating this worn out unintelligent line of argument

To remove or not to remove fuel subsidy is now a Philosophical Question of which both sides of the divide have strong arguments to support it.


Truth be said we do not have patriotic Government Officials that is why The Subsidy Scam has gone on for so long and nipping it in the bud is an elusive dream.



If it is restored why hope is there that it will benefit the masses?


All I want is that The Nigerian Economy is jumpstarted so that we can produce and export in billions of tonnes outside our shores.

What is so difficult in fixing the national refinery?

It took years for Dangote to build 'his' refinery. Our government sat down and waited for him to finish. And they are still waiting on him to start refining.

What happend to the national refineries?

They don't want to fix it because the so-called Dangote refinery belongs to the top men in the country. They want to be the ones controlling the fuel price. Meaning there will be no other refinery to compete against them in the country. So, they would rather make sure their private interests (greed) overrides the wellbeing of the masses.

Our politicians are just greedy, abeg.

lol. Some people one use the two month restoration of fuel subsidy back to cashout.

Buy fuel with subsidy price, hoard am and resell when subsidy is gone.

Tinubu really dealt with them nobody expect he will remove subsidy first day in office. Some people dey vex because dey no hoard many fuel before tinubu remove subsidy

God delivered us from ill prepare leaders


Coming up with clueless programs

Plans to failure.

Farooq, I don't know how much the subsidy cabal paid you because you are certainly not writing for fun, go and tell them that fuel subsidy is gone.

In all these, my pain is that, no one single of the supposed criminally corrupt cabal is invited for questioning let alone in prison. Again how can our politicians be so wasteful with resources just for their comfy but insist the poor masses should endure? This is pure wickedness

Very spot on.
Most of them are economically ignorant folks forming woke.
They don't know their right from left.
Economic policies are supposed to spread the wealth of the nation towards the larger majority not rob the majority to feed the privileged.

Everybody has an opinion on how things should be done.

Who are the subsidy cabal?
Can you mention their names since you know them?

Where are these modular refineries you people have been singing about? Please indicate the location of one, and please don't call those crude, unstandardized experimental cooking pots in the jungle of Niger Delta refineries.

What the government needs to do, and they ought to have done that already, is significantly increase salaries of employees and provide other reasonable palliatives (Not N5billion to each state and some trucks of rice!! What would the people do when they finish eating the rice?) to cusshion the effects of the removal.

Same day he announced subsidy removal, he ought to have announced wage increases. If subsidy is being removed and which is going to save the country trillions and benefit the country over the long term, it makes sense that a good chunk of that savings be applied to cushion the immediate harsh effects of the withdrawal immediately and up at least a year......Employees and businesses will eventually adjust but that will take some time...

PMS is not necessarily more expensive in Nigeria than elsewhere but wages & incomes in Nigeria are definitely very poor

So if salaries are increased further fuelling inflation, what becomes of people in the informal sectors and private sectors who don't earn salaries from govt?
Our budget is usually padded in a corrupt manner.
Maybe we should cancel budgets since its riddled with corruption

I totally agree with his view and points raised.
Removal of subsidy is akin to taking from Peter( the poor) to pay Paul (the rich).

What many doesn't know is that the already poor people will get even poorer while the middle income earners will become poor.
It will have a very adverse effects on the economy because SMEs will shrink, less savings for investment and production.

It's better to keep the subsidy and fight every possible leakage due to corruption in the players who are involved in the oil sector.
Let me stop here.

Farouk kperogi has huge points here joor

They are like the Unknown Gunmen of the South East...too powerful to be mentioned and criticized. Even Peter Obi dey fear them and I don't blame him for that. They can make your life a living hell.
So what Tinubu did was remove the rug from under them unexpectedly using the instruments of the state.
We have been on this subsidy issue as long as I have been a Nigerian. Let's see what the future holds without it.

Cabals have paid Farooq

Who are the cabals
Name them

Confusion don set.

If you don't know them then maybe it's because they don't exist. You just coin a name to give the impression that something is evil lurking around.
Stop deceiving yourselves. There's no subsidy cabal anywhere. The fuel consumption dropped from 60m to 48m even with most people reducing their use of fuel with the price hike. That's less than a quarter of the total consumption with subsidy.
You've seen what the future holds already. Or what future are you looking for again? Mass hunger, economic depression etc. Even UI has cut working days to three. You're only under a mental siege to see right from wrong.

Train has left the station. No going back to subsidies.

Let me ask you a question? How many Nigerian that are gainfully employed in government jobs. You are talking like this maybe because you are a civil servant.
