Na him family the bus go carry.

How many BRT do we have in Lagos that cannot even cover all the routes. Another evidence that we have a dundi, ode, dindinrin, oponu + amukunmeko as president. Nonsense!

This man is a huge joke. Will the buses run a different fuel pricing?

2012 is my year of break through - I hope to get contract to supply 160 Million Umbrellas to protect my people from Sun light rays whilst TREKKING

AHAHAHAHAHAH!

1600 buses @ 10million each gives 16billion and @5million each gves 8billion! Is our government sick? Y r u planning on saving money frm subsidy if u plan on spending so much on buses dat each states CLEARLY do nt need! Evn wit our bloody transport system in Lasgidi here, evrybody stil dey reach house evryday.

ow many generators is he goin 2 buy

That is not the solution. Vision-less leader

Proudly Nigerian!

Just check out how you guys have turned this into a joke. Only in naija!!

How do you turn a joke into a joke?

But some of you are very stupid o! You spend 24 hours in bus abi?
This is a good first step. We want more.
There should be no fuel subsidy for the middle class!!! If you have a car, no fuel subsidy for you! Shikena!!

You're the master chief of all the silly folks you talk about. Who spends 24hrs of their day on the bus?  

Good step in what direction? 1600 buses that will carry how many people? Is the ride for free? Will the bus run on special urine or subsidized or unsubsidized fuel? Which is it? How much will people pay for an average ride before the subsidy was removed? In addition to that, is FUEL used only in buses? How about other purposes?

43 BUSES FOR LAGOS? THIS MAN SHOULD BE MADE TO WRITE NACO, SSCE AND GCE AGAIN, he's such a failure in all ramification. ALIMOSHO LGA ALONE NEEDS MORE THAN 43 BUSES, NOT TO TALK OF A WHOLE LAGOS!

WE HAVE MORE THAN 2,000 BRT AND LAGBUS BUSES WITH MORE THAN 10,000 DANFOS, YET THE BUSTOP IS ALWAYS FILLED WITH PEOPLE LOOKING FOR BUSES.

IS HE GOING TO BUY GEN FOR US TOO?

FUEL OUR GEN TOO?

INFACT THIS MAN IS A SHAME TO NIGERIAN PHD HOLDERS, OOOOOHHHHH, HE'S A SHAME TO SSCE CERT HOLDERS TOO

Small, small result perhaps Nigerians should go on nation wide protest more often.

Manny dear dont mind the FOOOOOL

Do YOU know the answers to these questions?
If the bus carries people for free or at a similar cost to previous methods of transportation will you shut your mouth then?  
If the government is supplying the buses to alleviate the pain of subsidy removal, does it not stand to reason that they will not be as expensive as current methods of transport? Abi you want Nigeria to subsidize your weekend runs in your car?! Or subsidize your watching Big Brother on DSTV? FOUL!!
The poorest will get help from the government. Lazy people like you who want goodies for free can go and die!!

Mr President is this the solution to the problem? , I don't think so.

Olodo Rabato Iyoyo Iyoyo !

sharing of subsidy, wetin 1600 buses go do, dis leaders are really senseless

I'm am asking you "This is a good first step. We want more" because you seem to loose sight of what's at stake.


Please wake up from that sleep that has drained your ability to think correctly. Even if it was for free (though this is unlikely the case), what will 1,600 buses do to a population like Lagos with 15millon + residents where more than 50% use public transportation? Keep in mind this is ONLY Lagos, the other 35 states including Abuja isn't included, so NO how can that make me and others shut our mouth?

My friend, think with the brain God gave you and I; here yourself out, alleviate the problems arising from fuel subsidy? When was the last time that a Govt run program was successful? Isn't this the basic foundation of all the chaos going on now? Govt cannot maintain three refineries to sustain Nigerian peoples consumption, then it's a fleet of 1,600 NATIONWIDE is what govt wants to implement AND maintain? Isn't there a greater probability that these buses will sooner or later phase out sooner than people imagine and the "POOR FOLKS" are left in the dark, Brother OPEN YOUR EYES.


By his grace I'm not lazy, I advocate for what is RIGHT. Fortunately for me I don't have family or friends back in Nigeria but I still feel pains for people affected by this, I know when WMATA increased $0.50 in my daily trip to work every morning doesn't look good to me though I know it's for a good purpose but in Nigeria, reverse is the case ---- LOOTING. I'm ANGRY and PISSED at people like you that can be bought easily "[b]This is a good first step. We want more, [/b]like seriously? HOLD YOUR GOVT ACCOUNTABLE and not that nonsense. When President fixes refineries to accommodate Nigerian consumption, then you can take it off.

Welcome to the world of the dafties president. The most fooolish to ever occupy Aso Rock.

I disagree. In my opinion the protests are for the wrong thing. We should be protesting against the government and holding them accountable for past and present corruption, not against the removal of fuel subsidy.

So the government cannot run a 1600-bus transport scheme but they can run a fuel subsidy? GTFOH.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call YOU lazy. I'm just characterizing many of the middle class folks who are up in arms about the wrong thing.
Yes we need to fix corruption, but this fuel subsidy needs to go. We can't keep subsidizing people who don't need it. If you own a private car in Nigeria, you shouldn't be subsidized. If you can't afford the new rates, get your car off the road. There are 1600 buses waiting.

Look at this stupid freeloader. Why do you and your fellow re'tards mouth this same 'for free' mantra? Do you think we do not pay taxes? Dolt!

I don't know why dummies keep talking as if petrol is only used to power automobiles. So how about generators? Let me preempt and say, I should get solar panels right? How much power can solar panels generate? Yet PHCN might not provide power for up to 3 days?

Heehee. So your taxes that should go to build hospitals, roads, schools, etc. should go to buying fuel? *shakes head* Only in Nigeria.

What subsidy did they manage? When you manage, don't you keep tabs/reports etc on what you manage? They managed subsidy yet the paid more than 4x than the previous year, what kind of management is that? My friend that is not management but LOOTING avenue, if they want management, they should focus their lens on the three refineries. Besides, the bus scheme should be done on state level and govt can subsidize on the state level rather than running a federal scheme program THAT WILL NOT WORK.

The govt is lazy to go to work, the subisdy should be given directly to consumers and not through marketers who bring in fuel. The IRS practices the same scheme through the DOT if you want to know how I mean I can explain.

Very good. Shebi we could buy generator and fuel it before? Now we know that privately generated power is too expensive, we will hold the government to do the right thing. Countless billions have been spent on the power industry to no avail. But we were all complacent, after all we had our small IPMN generators.
NOW IS THE TIME TO HOLD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE. We need to protest, not to remove the fuel subsidy but to cut their benefits, to demand accountability for past billions misspent. For 4k's sake, some people need to go to jail!!

Nigerian's have suffered. This is slavery mentality. So we should ride bus that was bought by money where they claimed there was none. While GEJ and the rest of his dumb advisers fill their tanks and spend the inflated subsidy. No way! GEJ, NASS, Ministers and co. must accept minimum wage for 2012.
