What do you expect from a ganja smoking and cocaine addict president definitely irrational and stupid actions.the guy doesnt even know where he is or why he is there.he is there to simply sign contract and sign payments.those that placed him there knew about his brain capacity before putting him there

I hope that with all that has happened, Nigerians that voted that man have learnt that it can be disastrous to vote a person just because of his name (Goodluck) or because he comes from a particular region.
@topic,
NLC and TUC carry go jare.
No mind that mumu, why did he not put measures in place to cushion subsidy removal BEFORE removing subsidy? And some animals on this forum are coming to support what he did and bleating crap about how sacrifices should be made to move a country forward. RUBBISH.

What salary does he plan to cut? Just 25% of basic Salary? That is negligible for sure. The basic salary is just a minute fraction of what these Legislooters and executhieves take home. At macro level, it will only make sense if the entire take home is reduced by 40%.
And the presido should also tell us how he plans to cushion our cost of fuelling our generator since transportation is not the only source of our worries.
Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by us4naija: 7:01am On Jan 08, 2012
What the Bleep do u pple want him to do, He cut it by 25%, Its agreed it should be more but its a start, He has made more progressive steps in trying to move the countr forwardy more than any president in recent history, U people are complaining about him cleaning up the oil industry, he is reducing govt salaries, Stop being a hater and take a wait and see approach, Look in the mirror Nigeria is a mess and GEJ is trying to clean it up, GO GEJ GO!! Note" For those who are hurting financially my prayers and hope are with you Nigeria government has never did anything for its citizens, maybe once, maybe once nigerians we finally see fairness in the marketplace,

@ pastor

read this and give me two reasons Nigerians shouldn't be on the streets

How many of you have researched on this subsidy issue before taking a stand?There are more misnomers than facts surrounding this subsidy brouhaha.

First,

the Govt said the economy will collapse, ridiculous indeedsecondly, the Govt said oil importers are a 'cabal', nearly fell off my seat.

Fellow Nigerians, there are no cabals, in 2009 the scarcity of petroleum products became intense and the Govt admitted that Nnpc through its subsidiary PPMC has failed Nigerians by their inability to meet up with the supply of pet. Products and that phenomenon gave rise to licensing of some people to 'assist' the Nnpc in doing their job for which they are paid for.

Please don't forget that hitherto, Nnpc has been doing the importation and refining themselves before corruption eroded their common sense.These importers went abroad and came back with a price Nnpc is already aware of comprising of logistics, storage and administrative costs, these were quantified before they arrived at a price.

The FG now fixed a price tag of 65naira on Pms and agreed to be reimbursing the importers the balance not oblivious of the fact that the landing cost is higher than the stipulated price

To my greatest chagrin, the Jonathan’s administration woke up and termed them 'cabals' who are fleecing the nation.

Assuming Ruben Abiati goes abroad to buy a TM underwear for 1k and decides to sell it 1.5k adding purchase price  plus logistics plus profit and the Govt tells him to sell at 900 naira, wont he ask for the 600naira balance?  When the incompetent NNPC agrees to reimburse him, then he has become a cabal stealing from the GOvt?

Are we this docile? If Nnpc lived up to their responsibility, we won’t have need for the importers in the first place.There is no doubt that the subsidy regime is met with corrupt practices, is it not the responsibility of the govt to clamp down on those malfeasance?

the Governor of central bank confessed during the town hall meeting that he paid subsidy to 15 fake vessels who connived with customs to falsify their papers.
is this not fierce corruption?
and we have a shameless commander in chief? by the way, how many naval officers patrol our waters on tax payers account? efcc,icpc etc

The only solution that came to the minds of this disgruntled PDP administration is to remove subsidy into-to not minding its inflationary consequences.

This is the si1liest approach any human being with brain if they have one can summon.

Thirdly,

Jonathan insulted the intelligence of Nigerians telling us  that we don't benefit from this subsidy except for the importers and he had the unbridled temerity to be advertising it on NTA saying the rich are getting richer.

This people are demons.
When Ruben abiati's mother goes to the market to buy vegetable at a price, does he not know that the seller included cost of transportation to that price?
So when the transporter buys PMS @ 65naira and fixes his price based on that, he says his mother did not benefit from the subsidy that guaranteed the price in the first place?


In a generator driven economy like ours?
It is either Ruben Abiati and his employers are drunks or they think that Nigerians are m0rons.

I feel sorry for people that think that competition will crash the deregulated price erroneously juxtaposing it with GSM.Do you know that the price of crude being the raw material for refined pet. Products are sold at the same price in the whole world?

If you agree to this, then, even if you deregulate and license 5million importers the product will still be expensive because crude itself is expensive. You will still need to subsidize it to 65naira, exactly why deregulation of diesel in part did not work.The only reason you have not bought diesel @ 200naira is because there are so many illegal refineries who bunker crude, settle JTF and refine diesel at a lower price.

This people still pose a great threat to the importers who buy at a higher price that is why you get diesel @ 140naira elsewhere but in the delta i buy as low as 70naira.At this verge you will not over rule the fact that these unscrupulous elements contribute to the availability of diesel, if you are in doubt, anywhere you see cheap diesel, ask the dealer the source of his consignment If he is honest he will tell you the truth, when i was told, i took an hr 20mins boat ride to a remote village in the delta between Belema and Kola communities and i saw the local refinery myself. I will post the pictures later.

Conduct a chemical test on those cheap diesels if you are not convinced and you will realize a lot of additives are missing.Sounds incredible but those are the realities on ground.You now know why many importers in the delta hardly have diesel.

I still feel sorry for those who think the Govt should build more refineries, that will not solve the problem either because there is no cheap crude to supply these refineries.

The oil production of Nigeria stands at 2.37 million barrels of crude daily. Nigeria get this crude in a JV (joint venture) with IOC's (international oil companies) and the Nigeria's cut stand btw 55% to 60% of the lot, if we go by 60% then, that gives a total of 1.4m barrels daily.If we average the crude price from 2009 till date, the price falls close to 100usd/bbl.In that case, Nigeria makes 140,000,000usd daily from this JV.

Nigeria has a policy called DSO (domestic supply obligation) which mandates 250,000bbl/d of this crude to be refined and consumed locally,In monetary terms, the Nigerian govt is giving us 25,000,000usd worth of crude to refine.

Our three refineries at optimum capacity utilizes about 450,000bbl/d which gives 45,000,000usd in monetary terms in other words, the price of raw material in this case, crude, accrued to our refineries comes at 45m usd per day

, if you add refining cost and profit of 6usd per bbl,The total cost becomes 270,000,000usd per day.There is no way you can refine that crude at that price and sell it 65naira/l and make profit.

Meanwhile, once we mark out that 45m usd worth of crude for our refineries (assuming they are working at optimum capacity), the govt has already lost 45m usd from their 140m usd daily earnings (which will affect budget implementation) and after refining will still spend more money to subsidize it to 65naira/l

With this analogy, you will agree with me that if all our refineries are working optimally, the govt will spend 3times our present day subsidy to bring the pump price down to 65naira/l.

So, for those of you clamoring for refineries should be careful what you wish for because there is no cheap crude for you to refine.

I have argued abinitio that the sales of other derivatives of crude will bring down the cost of most sort PMS,DPK etc but after doing some feasibility studies, i realized i was dead wrong.

I further argued that to make cheaper crude available for our refineries, the Govt should reduce the price at which it is supplied unfortunately, the senate mandated the then GMD of Nnpc that the DSO must be sold at international crude price.

This i believe was proposed for the following reasons:

1 the refineries are working below capacity so what the heck does Nnpc use the crude for?

2, there is a benchmark on crude price for budget implementation.With these reasons, any existing or yet to exist refinery in Nigeria will get crude at a high price and must need subsidy to sell at 65naira/l, at this cross road, the then GMD of Nnpc decided that all crude should be exported and subsidy be paid on imported products.

At this verge, i must reiterate here that competition amongst importers will only crash the profit margin but not cost price.Even if every Nigerian becomes an importer of pet. Prods, we can never change the fact that crude in the int l market is already expensive before thinking of refined prod. So we must need subsidy to make profit.

Before this issue of subsidizing petroleum products can be addressed,You must have the following at the back of your minds:

1, Nigeria pegs a benchmark on crude prices to enable it implement budget. This stands at 75usd/bbl. And this crude is sort from the JV

.2, if crude price exceed the benchmark above, Nigeria makes excess crude revenue (ECR)3, conversely, if we make excess crude revenue, the price of subsidy on refined products shoot up.With the above analogy,

One can argue that the ECR be used to subsidize imported petroleum products since both are a function of each other unfortunately in Nigeria, it comes with its own challenges.

By law, the constitution clearly states that all revenue accrued to the FG be shared amongst the three tiers of Govt.This alone makes it illegal for the FG to keep the ECR to itself for whatever reason.

This is where the wahala started, during GEJ's campaign, he astronomically increased workers salary without consulting the state Governors,most Governors have refused to pay on the grounds that they cannot afford it.

On that grounds Taraba, jigawa and some other states have a genuine case.With the above development, the states started scrambling for funds and remembered the ECR and insisted it must be shared to enable them pay the new wage and develop infrastructures.

you now understand why all state governors are for subsidy removal including the literally "one of us" comrade Adams oshiomole, because they know it will be shared just like the ECR

The way forward:

In the short run:

While the FG is consulting, they must consider these options,

1,  identify and tackle the corruption prevalent in the subsidy regime. That will push down the cost of the subsidy in the first place.Like i said in April, no matter how sincere GEJ think his administration is, he cannot make any reasonable progress in the face of corruption,

2, the power projects must come upstream before removing subsidy, this will reduce the demand on pet. Products to a very great extent.

3, Nigeria must accommodate Gas export, port duties and other forms of revenue in their budget implementation policies.

4,  Govt must never invest an extra kobo in our moribund refineries, by doing otherwise, the cost price of the refineries will rise to an extent that it will no longer be attractive to investors or will prolong their repayment plan.Thereby making it very capital intensive.

5, Instead of deceiving Nigerians with their cabal bullshit and deluding them that they don't benefit from this subsidy, the FG should channel that propaganda with intense lobbying to the senate,NLC and civil society organizations to stop the state governors from demanding for the ECR, this can be achieved by the FG asking the state to pay whatever increment they can afford for the workers that way the ECR will be used for subsidizing pet. Products.

In the long run:

Nigeria must seek local production capacity.It is no longer news that Nnpc and its subsidiaries have failed woefully in meeting the needs of the Nigerian people.

Nnpc through its subsidiaries Npdc and Ngc are saddled with the responsibility of the above for oil and gas production respectively, but as i write, the current production of NPDC stands at a paltry 90,000bbl/day which is a huge failure for an agency set up 23yrs ago,

The IOC's has made us believe that it will cost less than 12usd to extract 1bbl of our oil. The Management of NPDC must be reshuffled and if possible experts brought in on contract basis to improve NPDC's production.These experts must be placed on targets appraised by milestones. in ogoni land for instance, Anglo dutch has a lot of abandoned production facilities and marginal wells and others scattered all over the country, these can be bought by NPDC with the money FG want to waste on refineries to improve production,

If NPDC can extract oil at 12usd/bbl and make a little profit, with this cheap oil available, Nigeria will have no reason going to the JV.

This cheap crude will attract investors to build refineries and create jobs, A 250,000bbl/d refinery will cost a little above 5b usd, dangote alone can afford two of those only if NPDC can guarantee cheap oil. This is why no investor is coming to build refineries.

A crude price of 18usd/bbl from NPDC will guarantee pump price of less than 22naira per litre of pms from these refineries.With this plan,By the end of this Administration, NPDC will have robust production capacity and the refineries will guarantee steady refined products.

These refineries shouldn't be operated by the Govt for any reason.The FG will generate revenue from both ends, export of crude and export refined products and the production of NPDC must be increasing periodically.

this is necessary because Nigeria as a member of OPEC has a limit to crude export but we can earn more revenue from petroleum products export.

Once the above takes effect, there won’t be any need to be paying subsidy because pump price will be around 23naira/l and inflation will reduce by 40‰.

Now, how competent is Allison Madueke and iweala if they can’t figure this out?

To think of removing subsidy at this stage where there is no electricity and high corruption rate will be tantamount to economic suicide.

Please if the both of you want a trial and error approach to economic solutions please try the next country or preferably Haiti.

What iweala forgot is that in the face of inflation, the cost of running Govt projects will be high, All Govt contractors will definitely come back for contract variations or Abandon those projects.

As a sound economist, she should tell Nigerians the value of 1.3 trillion naira ( she intends to save on subsidy removal) in the face of 60% inflation and how many projects Nigerians will benefit from the subsidy removal.If you remove subsidy and the money disappears, then it is a NO NO for Nigerians.
Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by jpphilips(m): 7:16am On Jan 08, 2012
also, think abt this

lets talk about this present subsidy regime, the Cbn gov has already confessed he has evidence. of round tipping , he said he paid subsidy on 15 fake vessels approved by customs.
what did jonathan do? nothing

the reasons investors did not build refineries over the years was lack of cheap crude in part but the biggest reason is corruption

how? licences were given to companies without the financial muscle to build refineries also part b of the license clearly states that these armed robbers have oil lifting license embedded in their refining license,
tell me who will choose refining over lifting where he makes instant profit and inflated subsidy
what did jonathan do? nothing as usual

do you know that NNPC does not have storage facilities for all those millions of products they are quoting and importing.
how exactly does Nnpc wish to store 30million litres of pms? odechukwu's scrotum I guess.

do you know that these fg goons went ahead to licence importers without storage facilities leading to the govt paying extra for storage on a product u are paying over 70 naira as subsidy can u beat this stup1dity and incompetence?

what did iweala and jonathan do? nothing,

do you know that these leppers in Nnpc have no grading structure for imported pms low grade,mid grade and high grade all na pms same subsidy, same price even ethanol blends have subsidy paid on them, can you beat that
? even abroad where the products come from have different prices. some are far cheaper than others which ordinarily should attract low subsidy
what did iweala do? nothing.



do you know that these bingos at Nnpc dont maintain their pipeline networks which ordinarily should link one depot to the other,
they have to pay extra for tankers transporting these products all na subsidy.
even their jv partners are maintaining over 1000 pipeline networks in Nigeria.

what did iweala do?
nothing.




do you know that under madueke's watch demurrage is paid as subsidy to these importers .
how cant they be reponsible for their import schedule, is it not commonsensical for madueke to prioritize the discharge of those vessels quickly in tank farms as not to attract demurrage for a product you are subsidizing.
madueke a toddler is smarter than you.

and you want me toughen for a better future? which future ? can iweala,Sls and madueke plan for a sustainable future if given the task?
dead failures.

for every extra kobo you pay on pms you paid for madueke's incompetence.

now they can see high expenditure but cant see how their incompetence is inflating the subsidy regime.

look at their teeth that economy will crash, u seriously think iweala will see it comming if it was true that economy will crash.

incompetent basta.rds.


I have a deal for iweala.


fight corruption in the subsidy regime and
bring it down to 300billion for this year.

let the management of Npdc have a target
of 150,000bbl/d by dec 2012.

on january 2013 subsidy will go by 50%
and by dec 2013 Npdc should guarantee
200,000bbl/d on
1st january 2014 subsidy must go 100%.

with or without the refineries on ground,
then if im sacrificing,
I will know it has a
limit pending when refineries that will
utilize the cheap oil on ground arrives.
tell me what im sacrifising for today?
eternal slavery?

I and my generations cannot and will not
sacrifice for Govt's incompetence.
now, if you dont mind, I have placards to
paint

@ pastor, now you see, the battle is not against flesh and blood but against evil pdp principalities and powers.
Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by Marlbron: 7:47am On Jan 08, 2012
Good Analysis.


The problem with the government (sls, iweala, madueke) is that they use view graphs to show one part of the equation. The other part which is in fact a more serious cancer is papered over. Cut the cancer of corruption in the whole oil import process (and add NPDC and other NNPC processes into that) and tighten our borders, you will diswcover that we do not need more than N200b to subsidize fuel at 65 naira.

That would have been the reasonable option for any government to pursue. Pushing the guys that pay you to the wall when they see profligacy all around you in my opinion is poor judgement, very poor judgement!
Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by ebukaprof(m): 7:53am On Jan 08, 2012
i have listen to some bunch of fools talk. u ar all mumus, following d high paid nlc and tuc leaders to bring down d country.
GEJ has tried by cutin down 25% and tryin to merge som ministries. Now lets allow GEJ to work. let just allow peace to rain and watch in d next 6 months time, den hold him by his words if tins go wrong.
ask urself why d nlc and tuc ar so serious on subsidy. dey hav never been dis serious any tin concernin salaries of workers. i am very sure d marketers of dis oil tin ar usin them to destroy the plan GEJ has brought out to develop the nation. for 51 years now, we hav been enjoyin d subsidy but stil remain under developed.
if nigerians ar to protest,then let it b against d marketers. should we say GEJ shuld fight d cabals--i believ their days ar doomed.

fellow nigerians, let's stand together and support our presido for the development policy.

Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by 1025: 8:18am On Jan 08, 2012
this is called DOING THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME.
if this govt is real and genuine, these are things they are supposed to do before removing the fuel subsidy.
he has made it open that THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL so nigerians must stand up against the autocratic reign of pdp.
we must work to remind him that in democracy, power belongs to the people and not to jonathan.

Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by Nobody: 9:03am On Jan 08, 2012
@ Beaf, U are beginning to make sense nowadays. I can perfectly understand your arguments now.

@ NL, the truth is very bitter, infact you can't swallow it. Imagine this same cartel importing pms into Nigeria & they collect subsidy money & after that, they re-sell the same oil to themselves using another company name & exporting the same PMS to neighbouring West-African countries and sell it @ 130naira. Who's losing, who is gaining? Mind you, am into this oil business of a thing & i know those that knows the nitty-gritty will know that Ghanian buyers will flood Nigerian market to buy the so called subsidize PMS by our Government. Who is losing who is gaining? Infact if the Subsidy stays, i will look for a way to buy 500metric tonnes of PMS which is about 580,000litre and lift it with a Toner & sell @ either cotonou or Ghana or Togo at 150naira per litre. Calculate the difference? I know i will have to settle Nigerian Navy, Custom & in a rare case JTF, By the time i give them 20naira per litre, they are okay. 5naira per litre to charter Toner that will lift it the PMS, I will load PMS @ Warri depot @ 55naira. Cost of getting it to cotonou waters is 25naira. Which makes my budget up to 80naira. And i will sell @ 150 or 160naira. It means i have made almost a profit of 100%. Nairalanders, if fuel subsidy stays, Nigerian Business men & neighbouring countries will get richer @ the dentriment of you & me. Abeg shine ur eyez

Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by Nobody: 9:14am On Jan 08, 2012
Jonathan's speech did nothing to restore Nigerians confidence in his government.
He slashed Salaries by 25%,but 25% of how much?
He reduced foreign travel to the barest minimum-very vague and ambiguous statement.
This president is clueless.Enough of sitting behind computers,Tomorrow we NEED to be on the streets,letting this President and his cohorts know what we think about them!

Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by beewhy(m): 9:43am On Jan 08, 2012
Salaries of political office holders to be cut by 25%, sounds impressive but does not make sense.
We all know they dont live on salaries . Removal of subsidy at this point means more money for political office holders and more embezzlement by political office holders.
In the long run Nigerian salary earners will suffer this most, why, because if i produce pure water ,i can sell for N20 but if i insist on salary increase ,my company will say take what we give or leave the job for someone else who needs it,and tell me what do you expect in a country with high unemployment rate.
Nigeria is in big trouble.

Salaries to be slashed by 25percent and some people are saying Mr President didn't mention the amount the cut will result to, He said overseas trip will be drastically reduced and only when it is of utmost importance,and most of you are still putting holes all in effort to paint him black!
He rolled out other palliative measures to cushion the effect of subsidy remove which most of us still see usual govt promise. This I can understand because govt has not justified our trust over the years, but my question is-how can this present govt earn our trust if not given the chance!
Re: NLC And TUC REPLIES President Goodluck Jonathan by crocodile: 10:03am On Jan 08, 2012
Is it better for the President to take the easy and populist way out by reverting to the old 65 naira price? Very soon we will see more job losses late salaries and owing of contractors for months etc. Govt has little to loose and I assure you scarcity Will be continous till the next govt comes in cos it will be a deliberate style of govt to weather the storm.

You want to turn around from your destructive position but you must find who to blame for your mistake; hmmm typical 9ja leader mentality; instead of fighting curruption head-on, they say it is a cabal. Well then, fight the cabal head-on! Beaf go take chill pill, you are so, so confused. I told you yesterday to Watch and mark my words.

GEJ must move the country forward wether people like it or not.Subsidy since the sixties and yet no improvement.Suddenly the Union members are awake to the economic disaster awaiting the nation.

@Ebukaprof,  you pretend not to know that CURRUPTION is the real problem of 9ja. Pls if you were born yesterday, then wait until you grow up to comment on 9ja issues about governance.

@Ak4God.  Act ur username; wait to hear from God b4 you speak. Clearly, you have not spoken the mind of God. Curruption in 9ja stinks to high heaven and I tell you, God is angry! God Himself has revealed that Jonathan knows the truth and what to do but has no liver, he is so afraid. God speaks! Jonathan will be consumed by that which he fears to face.

are u for real

@ Beaf, u have done well so far, u deserve a pay raise. below is FYI

"David cameron and nick clegg share one car because of economic problem facing uk, our president just budgeted N280million naira to buy two cars for himself and vice, he budgeted N1 billion naira to feed himself and vice for 1yr apart from his salary and allowances? N11.2 billion for foreign travels in 2012. Our legislators earn ridiculous amount in salaries, so its the poor that should suffer?this is a country that have no roads,power,security,transprt, education is almost dead, do you think british politicians can spend tax payers money anyhow and then ask them to make sacrifice?

oh i forget he is sacrificing 25% of his basic(i withdraw the above) and present the below to you and ur followers

People like BEAF and others who have been paid by people in Gej's administration to post stuff on forums will someday be unable to do just that cos they are failing in their duties to blindfold nigerians and misinform them in order to sympathize with their slave masters, the federal Government.

Their days on this forums are numbered cos the youth of this country knows better. We refuse to be misled by your posts and as you are failing in your duties. You will be sacked and another employed. No wonder the fg went and pay some hungry Nigerians 1,000 naira to protest in support of the fuel subsidy removal. Tommorrow is the deal day. I cant wait to start protesting to my state Govermnent's house.

Sorry BEAF and other posters on the federal government payroll. When you have outlive your usefulness, you will be removed from payroll without notice

We have to fight agains t GEJ satanic act. It all boils down to corruption. They say they're gonna bring in new buses. On which road are these buses gonna ply? And even if they allocated funds to d state and local govt, then how r we so certain they'll use it for its purpose. We need to fight. We are being decieved. They have made previous promises and nothing has ever worked. Nigerians shoudlnt be gullible. They are only deceiving us with sweet words. Yaraduua promised stable light 2009dec, obasanjo spent 16billion dollars on power all to no avail. And now jonathan is here to decieve us again. Nigeria let's fight. We aren't gullible. Pdp has no agenda for nigeria

Anyone who cannot see that the government is corrupt from top to bottom and defends them is a complete troll.
Ikeja city mall is claimed to have been built with $100million tax payers money but check this out.

The palms hotel in the united states was built with 200million dollars.How corrupt can things get.
