My doubt is that I still don't trust Nigerian Govt, the Lower House refused to discourage corruption by refusing to probe those sucking the nation in the name of fuel subsidy. The protest though shld be to fight CORRUPTION (PROBE ALL THAT HAVE CASES TO ANSWER IN THE OIL SECTOR & NIGERIAN ECONOMY) & HEAVY CUT IN GOVT. SPENDING (ALLOWANCES, SALARY, etc) |

GEJ has to demonstrate executive power on this issue and not return any subsidies if his presidency is to worth anything. Better yet a petrol VAT should accompany any return of Subsidies, if ever. Leadership needs to be displayed. If the National assemble can resist his pay cut proposal for them, he can resist their motion on subsidies. |

Quote 4m Omo Tier1 Have a read at the 2012 budget, you would weep for Nigeria! One would have thought Okonjo Iweala the Finance Minister would be the one to lead an onslaught on the huge and obscene allowances of the excutive and legislatives arms of government and present a budget to address same and put it at the mercy of the public! Λ Λ Λ Λ She has the ability to do that, but she wldn't b/c she's IMF / WB agent (spy) only to ensure that their harsh policies to impoverish Africans more are implemented 100% |

You and your gf that u quoted, your reasoning eludes me. Her own beta sha. She be woman. Ma*a go pay. pls tell bros leomax & his gf. [quote][/quote] Thank you for giving me luscious libs. Thanks a lot, it what I need in these non-subsidized times. I am just wondering why its mostly kids and the jobless that protest and not the 6 valves truck owners and that drive PMS high powered combustible engines. Thanks again for the luscious libs. |

Quote 4m Saxywale na waoh, imagine how they all orchestrated NOOOO!!! when someone raised the question on whether to prosecute the cabal came up, seems like they already planned on that before the meeting sef. Now they want the FG to revert to N65 but don't want the cabal to be prosecuted, conflicting interest I would say. They were even so dull to the extent that they forgot to cover loop holes that might suggest they have been bribed by the Cabals. They all mean no good for Nigeria, both the Executive and legislative. They are all concerned about their own pockets. Λ Λ Λ Λ Gbam, u read their lips. They're all guilty, these are not the ppl that wld bring the required change or transformation we're crying for. |

saintohia:This Subsidy issue is done and sealed. Tomorrow's strike will not only be illegal and unpopular but will be anti-progress. Ask yourself why REPS didnt vote to prosecute the "cabals". The session was just a jamboree |

With all due respect to the Lower House this matter is way above their pay grade. They should steer clear. The Presidency must stand firm. Its not done yet. |
Re: House Of Reps Passes Motion To Reverse Subsidy Removal - Sai, Tambuwal by Ekiti1: 9:39pm On Jan 08, 2012 |
Actually, I 've decided to keep quiet on this subsidy of a thing cos the issue has been thoroughly thrashed and chewed out by intellectuals but the kind of sh!t people spew here annoys me. Imagine a rational, normal & learned human being saying you must have "okada" b4 u feel the effect of removal of fuel subsidy. In my own opinion subsidy must go but with this conditions: 1)Let our refineries perform optimally 2) The (public transport) buses Mr. President just bought should have been operational before removal of fuel subsidy. (Why put the cart b4 the horse. Removal of subsidy b4 launching the buses is wrong) 3) Let there be a cut in the allowances of our politicians at all levels. (they are public servants not public reapers) There are some other things that needs to be looked into but this is just a summary for starters. |

LeoMax: It seems after all the talk, shouting, teaching, lecture, protest, educating, directing, etc people are doing, some people still don't know why people are angry 1. Yes the system/ government is corrupt. In fact the country is teeming in corruption 2. Yes subsidy has to go and everyone supports the FG for that 3. Before the removal of subsidy, build our refinery so we would not have this same issue in the future. If we have our refineries working, we would not be paying subsidy to anyone and we can control the prices of our crude oil as a Nation. 4. Before removal of subsidy , CUT THE COST OF GOVERANCE not just by 25% because the bulk of the money made in government is not through salaries but be over PRICED projects. An average senator in Nigeria collects more than Obama the american president. 5. Now remove subsidy. Other things people are protesting for because it was a build up of anger since 1970 and this was the opportunity for a revolution are 1. protest against corruption and the arrest of these people 2. protest against boko haram and killing of Christians/igbos 3. protest against the NEGLIGENT of the Niger-delta 4. Building of the Niger Bridge. Must the bridge collapse before we maintain and build the next ? Since we can save lives, why not do it now. Now what is the point of thinking ahead when there is still corruption and non-accountability in the government ? What is the point of thinking ahead when the next administration would tell us about removal of subsidy again ? IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ? Is thinking ahead not protesting against corruption ? In Nigeria today, we have No light, No security, No shelter, No good roads, No good water, No refinery even though we are oil producing, Total neglect of infrastructure, Total neglect of the Niger-delta, Total neglect of the Niger bridge, Total neglect of people dying in the North, Lack of accountability, Lack of credibility, Lack of industrial growth apart from Oil which the entire country is dependant on, Lack of economic growth apart from the telecommunication sector by OBJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would also what to use this medium to address people thinking it is an ethnic thing. I have heard various people saying the protest is against "GEJ" "minority" and other sentimental words to describe the protest. I would like to educate the people about the politics behind what is happening according to my understanding and I would really appreciate if I can also learn more from other posters home and abroad. In 2010, Sanusi made speech to the House of reps (HOR) that they were thieves and they are the ones sucking Nigeria dry due to the huge sum of money paid to them monthly. The HOR shut him down and called him all sort of names. In 2011, Sanusi during the channels debate said 1.6 trillion naira is paid to this people out of 1.8 trillion naira thus 200 billion Naira is left for development of the country. This people are the senator, governors, HOR, HOA, chairmen and the business men that were labelled as oil benefit thieves. Now people Imagine 200 billion left for 150 million people in 36 states out of total of 1.8 trillion Naira. Yes I am sure people would agree with me that subsidy has to go !!!! All am doing here is to make people political aware of the situation right now and lets not forget the Iweala and the IMF factor. Now people are NOT and I repeat NOT angry at the removal of the subsidy I mean at such rate the paying of subsidy is not sustainable. It has to go at one point or the other, either through GEJ or the next administration. Yes I respect GEJ and Sanusi for thinking ahead of time. That is very commendable but the Issues that cause the subsidy corruption are not yet addressed. In the future the issue would come up again so what is the point ?. |

The houses refuse to hit the nail on the head, They stage us all, Bet me all bunch of one party |
Re: House Of Reps Passes Motion To Reverse Subsidy Removal - Sai, Tambuwal by Nobody: 9:59pm On Jan 08, 2012 |
IS THINKING AHEAD NOT BUILDING OF REFINERIES ? [quote][/quote] Government has no business in business, the global economic model worldwide is privatization with government holding portfolio in refineries to enable her influence price in favor of citizens. No Investor will ever commence investing billions into building refineries when PMS is sold at a "fixed" and subsidized margin of 65naira. Its the main reason why all the companies that were issued licenses to build refineries never built it. Once the sector is De-regulated, private players both home and abroad will make FDI into the down stream sector. The effect will be magical job creations and other multiplying effects, more filling stations, more refineries, more petrochemical firms. The 141 is very temporal because as soon as more refineries come on board price will be determined by local market forces. |

Bull shit!! The house of reps can not tell the president. What to do. They are all overfed clowns. If they have not been compromised, why did they turn down the motion raised by one of the reps that the beneficiaries of the fuel subsidy payments should be investigation and if found guilty made to refund the over payments made to them? Wonder how much the cabal has paid to the house members? N |

What does House of Reps Vote not to investigate and Prosecute Oil Cabal tell Nairalanders and Nigerians in all @leomax, when did this word CABAL come into existence? who are they? if this wicked jonathan claims to know these cabals, why is he not constitutionally dealing with them? all these are lies and cheap lies to deceive gullible nigerians like u. why are the weak, poor and helpless masses paying the prices for the so-called cabals? the most silly thing any nigerian will do is to believe a man that is out to eat N1B on foods only when millions of nigerians are dying of hunger. let us die once than dying one after the other on bad roads, loose securities and political killings. if we achieve this, it will amount to a new era where the masses can wake up and make their minds known to these so-called cabals and untouchables among us. pdp has in the past 13 years turned nigeria to a stealing free zone where open crimes are legalised and the best time to stop them is now. |

LeoMax: [size=13pt]They shld stop deceiving themselves. If Nigerian govt. can't build new refineries without removing fuel subsidy, they shld damn it. That's one of the things that must (needed to) be in place b4 they start dreaming about removing subsidy. If FG don't have money to build the refineries, they shld use one (or two) month salary and allowances of FEC, Upper & Lower House to build them as their own part of the sacrifice to the Nigerian course. Secondly, we want the FG to show us a blue print that must be implemented, on how those that have cases to answer in the oil sector and Nigerian Economy will be probed, to regulate corruption.[/size][quote][/quote] |

LeoMax: It seems like you cannot comprehend my post, Ok I would post it again and Highlight the important parts "They shld stop deceiving themselves. If Nigerian govt. can't build new refineries without removing fuel subsidy, they shld damn it.
