so, Obi can remove it abi but any other candidates shouldn't?

Tinubu has said he would remove subsidy. Atiku also appears to be coming round. Abiola of the PRP has said it bluntly that he would remove it.

Beremx:
And the scarcity has to be this Yuletide period when people will have to travel? If this is not wickedness, I dunno what else to call it.

Where were you since beginning of this year when the scarcity/queue started? I don't know of other states, but here in Abuja, we have not had a complete 30days free of queue since January.

Penguin2:
They should hold on… Obi is coming to remove subsidy so that their business can become profitable again and the government will also have funds for other critical projects.

But I want Nigerians to remember that we wouldn’t be talking about subsidy by now if not for Tinubu’s malicious and wicked brand of opposition politics.

In January of 2012, President Jonathan removed subsidy and introduced Subsidy Reinvestment Programme (SURE-P) to cushion the effect of the removal of subsidy, but Tinubu raised his army of urchins and led them to occupy Ojota in Lagos while Buhari and Elrufai engaged in their own walk of shame in Kaduna.

Today, that Buhari is the one crying for subsidy removal while Tinubu has lost his voice, and you say these guys are not wicked and evil?

I’m waiting to see Tinubu become president so that I will interrogate the existence of the God of Justice who repays all man according to their deeds.

Tinubu will never reap good for his evils, amen.

Tinubu was doing all that to frustrate Jonathan's administration. He knew the removal of subsidy was the best option but because he too had been eyeing aso vila, unknown to many, he decided to look the other way. Useless man

Tell us how you agreed or disagreed with this your comment in 2012 when Tinubu occupied Ojota with his Agberos.

Kobonaire234:


The sector has lost money selling fuel at cheap prices all year round. Losses have to be recouped.

The thing you Nigerians need to get is that you cannot sell something that should cost N200 and more at N180 and below, and expect miracles.

Even NNPC that brings in fuel at above N250 and sells it below N200, how long is it going to sustain that? And guess where the money comes from?

Subsidy need to go I just wish Buhari won’t pass the burden to whoever wins the next election

Why the fixation on Tinubu? Are Atiku, Sowore, Kwakwanso, etc. not in the race also. I'm sure you and the other Afghaneasterns know the answer.

Subsidy will eventually be removed .

It's only benefitting the north

Oga, in 2011, my mind was woken up to how subsidy was wrecking Nigeria by the words of NOI, SLS, and company.

Before then, I backed subsidy totally. I can even recall the arguments over subsidy from as long as 1993, and being in fuel queues from the early 1990's....

I don't back GEJ, bUHARI, TINUBU, Atiku, Obi, and have never voted PDP, or APC.

So, take your question to a real APC supporter.

Tinubu APC is the worst thing ever to happen to Nigeria may God never allow us see anything like them and their urchins again.

Ever since I read Okonjo Iweala’s book “fighting corruption is dangerous” I’ve stop disturbing myself about fuel and crude oil palava because it’s never ending.

The kind of corruption going on in NNPC, within oil marketers, and the ministry of petroleum resources will never allow any solution in sight.

NNPC is so powerful that whatever they do is final and cannot be queried or checkmated. Any president that really wants to solve the oil revenue generated and fuel crises palava will need to seat on NNPC neck and the ministry of petroleum resources because those two are just too powerful.

We can't allow greedy profiteers hijack our economy and hold us to ransom, withdraw their license.

The north is not even benefiting from the subsidy but few individuals you will never know. Try to read Okonjo Iweala’s fighting corruption is dangerous.

who owns the money being used to subsidized?

Corruption and wayo in NNPC happens when you stop people from making profit selling fuel

If you were doing business as a baker, and it cost you N1000 to bake a loaf of bread, and you want to sell the bread at N1500 to make a profit of N500, and then government comes in and tells you to sell that bread at N500 and take a subsidy of N500...MEANING...you make no profit...meanwhile the following month, the cost of baking that bread goes up to N1200...and government is still insisting on you selling it at N500...

Yes, you would do wayo too. And you would violently resist anyone trying to stop you. You have mouths to feed, workers to keep employed, a factory to keep well functioning.

CodeTemplar:

Either we pay full market price at the pump, or we pay for it at IMF and WB HQ, with them imperials looking over our shoulder....

Exactly. That’s why this fuel subsidy issue should have been a thing of the past by now if the “you know who” in power had not resisted it back then. 10 years after, we are still here talking about it

Kobonaire234:



While tinubu and Buhari did help in mobilizing support against subsidy removal in 2012...which happened, only partially...the fact is, most Nigerians do not support subsidy removal.

Back then, people were of the opinion that we were earning enough money from oil to fund subsidy (not true)....so they marched. All people saw was that fuel was once N65, now it is N140. Even the N97 that it came down to....

Buhari and tinubu just joined in for politics. In politics, you sometimes do the Machiavelli style to get into power.

But the truth is, if subsidy had gone in 2012, by now the same Buhari and Tinubu would be reaping the benefits.

Subsidy is loved by Nigerians. My worry is, whoever takes over, even if it is your Obi, if they attempt to remove subsidy, Nigerians will forget their divisions and remove them. Buhari tried to remove subsidy early this year. DSS warned him of potential national uprising. That's how subsidy is. Nigerians want it. Nigerians want cheap fuel. Politicians hear and obey. Even at the expense of our economy.

Regardless of the situation we have to get rid of subsidy.......obi would be a national hero if he wins and manages to keep his promise of removing subsidy...

Subsidy in itself is not bad, but in Nigeria it is a BIG/MEGA scam.....I cant begin to enumerate the many flaws.......it has to be removed. Nigerians must prepare for hard times ahead........if we insist on subsidy we will continue to suffer, while a few people would become God's, because we are not actually benefitting from the so called subsidy.

Amen, I hope that whoever takes over, they better remove it.

But the problem is, and God knows I am not blind to it....is that the mass price increases that would result....

But even then, the subsidy thing is like a monster, it demands more and more and more food...and it cannot be stopped.

Removing it is the right thing to do. The poor are not benefiting from it. They have years and years to correct it. All they needed to do was flood buses out all over the country, then find a company to manage it then take it out. Subsidies diesel for the buses companies. Very simple if you want to drive it's your problem, if you can afford it good if can't go and get the bus, Abacha did that.

Lol...the guys did not know what they were doing. You know who was using his hand to stab himself in the back...

But assuming they supported subsidy removal then, Nigerians would have promptly labelled them GEJ slaves. And some other enterprising politicians would have stepped in to fill the gap. (Opportunities, opportunities!).

The problem is, most Nigerians still back subsidy. Even opponents of you know who.

Sir do you have a pdf of that book by madam Iwela

At nnpc website 148# per litre but depot is selling 210 and above while filing station is selling 280 and 300 which is the government so wicked the regulatory bodies so mean and someone is paid to try and convince us while subsidy should be removed instead of jailing the people doing this
Just look at this guy comment on issues on subsidy Kobonaire234

You don't know how much NNPC brings the fuel into the country....

Petrol landing cost in Nigeria is N510 per liter. N510.

NNPC then sells it at N148.....

And last year June it was N361.....

Let us not forget that it costs more money to transport the petrol...since petrol trucks run on diesel...whose prices are higher nowadays...at N800 and rising.


The cost is becoming too much for NNPC to bear...hence the queues. DSS is just pretending that it is a matter of greedy Nigerians....


Even if they refine fuel in Nigeria...it won't cost less than N400.


Keep on calling me evil. Meanwhile...petrol costs MONEY.

Government will soon come and pay the sector its money. They know...they all know.

JoeNL22:

We need to get the oil industry right. That's the only way Nigeria can move forward.

Obi......hope you are taking note?

Who are the "we"?

SLIDEwaxie:
so, Obi can remove it abi but any other candidates shouldn't?

This is where the issue is.

Its a matter of trust.

They remove the subsidy, the price of fuel goes up and the things they said they would do to alleviate the hardship is not done. So we suffer both the subsidy removal and the lack of provision to alleviate the hardship.

So Nigerians are opposed to the removal because we don't trust these politician thieves.

Now they are experimenting a new dimension. There is subsidy in the budget and the fuel price is now above N240 per litre. Is that not develish? Those collecting subsidy are collecting while the fuel price is going up.

Right Now IMO Obi is the only one that we can even try to trust to do the needful.

Let tribal, religious and ethnic sentiments no becloud our judgement in this election.

Oga, who made price of diesel to be N800? The same you who has been advocating for petroleum products price increase is now complaining about the impact of the price of diesel on transportation of petroleum products

CheapHomes1:


Who are the "we"?

Nigeria as a whole!

JASONjnr:


The market is where the prices is hiked....They have their association and they're the filling station owners...

Just like in the case of dollar price....the parallel market is different from the CBN rate....and you can't easily have access to the CBN price...

Although, Buhari using the DSS is actually doing enough to cut down the hike...Of not, before 2023, we should be hoping to buy a litre of fuel for 500 bucks.

Bro the question is who is the minister of petroleum in Nigeria, simple question bro no.need all this ur explanations. This why some people failed in the Exams.

First of, pls define what subsidy means and then tell us what is wrong with subsidy?

When you say fuel subsidy should be removed, pls how much of the subsidy has been removed till date and how much subsidy is left to be removed?
