Don't you think there are some things that need to be done or put in place ?

You just remove subsidy like that ? Oboi I am working and earning very well, but that doesn't mean I should be senseless in my reasoning...the private sector is the highest employer of labour, removing subsidy without planning will lead to lose of jobs as many companies will retrench workers due to higher cost of production, unemployment will be the result, hunger will follow, and when the masses finally say we can't take it anymore, you know what will follow.

First I expect tinubu to create an enabling economy for the removal of subsidy, and not that reckless statement he made during his inauguration.

All youth groups across the country need to begin mass mobilization for a show down with the Federal Government. We must have a repeat of Occupy Nigeria 2023 to give Tinubu a welcome notice that the era of treating Nigerians as if they don't matter is over. OccupyNigeriaNow!

NLC is a scam. We know where unah belong. Subsidy removal is gone and gone forever

Subsidy removal is sacrosanct...!

However, failing to carry NLC and TUC along is outright stupid and undemocratic!

This is why I keep saying this nation hasn't started practicing Democracy yet!

Government always keep talking with them on various issues. It might be under the cover.
The labour leaders have to come out to stand with the masses. That their primary job.
Their job is to shout and shout but government can still have their way.

Our democracy is good. Its growing.

I think the NNPC are the one playing game here otj Nigerians.

The President Bola Hamed Tinubu said there is no provision for subsidy in the 2023 budget which means the subsidy had been removed by the just past administration. We are in the month of May now and before the handing over to New president the fuel was selling at 200, #250. While did CEO of NNPC did not increased the price of fuel since there is no provision for it before.? Why was he Now saying they are in full support with Tinubu as of Tinubu was the one that removed subsidy?


By increasing the fuel price is like adding to the pains of Nigerians . We know #500 even # 1000 per liter is nothing to the rich people but it would have negative impact of the small scale business ,marked commodities, transportation, etc.

Subsidy is a trap for Tinubu and is like he had been falling into it . May God help him

Emi l'okan how far, sebi you wan become president by fire by force

Please, let's say what we can prove...! Recent fall out with Imo state government clearly negates your claim of Labor always being carried along.

For this subsidy matter, it's obvious Buhari failed to do that!

Tinubu really has a lot of mess to clean up!

The shithole from fry pan to fire!

The problem is not to remove the subsidy oooo will Nigerians see the money??

On top the hardship

No, you are the worst thing that happened to your father . You are so daft , you don’t know fuel controls the price and supply of almost all commodities, you don’t know subsidizing fuel is the only benefit an ordinary Nigerian will get from his/her corrupt Politicians that will still loot the money saved from not subsidize fuel . Empty heads littering Nairaland.

Labour union is avenue for the leadership to eat money.

A cook told me how the head of their association of cooks worked together with hotel and restaurants owners to short change the cooks. Their salaries were going down while the head of the association salary going up.
The man stopped being member of the cook association.

No strike before end of first week. Count on it. I have studied this extensively and any strike will not last 2 weeks - so called warning strike. Its a small price to pay for this weight that's been on Nigeria since 1982/3

So we should continue borrowing and end up bankrupting this country for subsidy abi? When Zimbabwe type inflation comes our way, you will still say they didn't manage the economy well.

Nigeria is more or less broke! Do you know what it means for interest payment on debt to be 96% of revenue!!? We are not paying principal o. Just interest. Can you run your personal life like that?

This is not the time to end subsidy without any background palliatives.
Let the strike begin until the step is rescinded for now!

STILL ON THE MATTER OF FUEL SUBSIDY...
I believe this write up might boost our understanding for *Fuel Subsidy Removal*: Reasons to support.

Many people do not understand the politics behind fuel subsidy and it's dangers to the development and growth of Nigeria.

The intension of the government to subsidise petrol was simply to make the product affordable for Nigerians and make life easier. So, the average price of petrol in the world can be as high as N590, however, the Nigerian Government will subsidise the product and fix price at N185 bringing total amount of subsidy per litre to N405.

The average consumption of litres of petrol in Nigeria per day is 60 million litres. However, Marketers of the product loads as much as 100 million litres and above per day.

This means the Nigerian Government is expected to pay as much as N405 × 100,000,000 (litres) as subsidy per day to the Marketers of the product to keep prices at N185 for instance. This brings the amounts to N40.5 billion daily and about N1.2 trillion monthly. Kindly take note that this amount can either decrease or increase following prices of petrol at the international market.

So, just try to wrap your head around it and know what Nigeria expends on fuel subsidy alone in a year - obviously some billions of dollars.

Here's the irony of whole arrangement

1. Petroleum Marketers (major petrol dealers with tank farms) usually divert larger quantity of the subsidised petrol to neighbouring countries to resell at the international market price. So, they make same amount of money the Nigerian Government has paid on the subsidised petrol at the neighbouring countries.

2. This makes the product relatively scarce in Nigeria as the left over becomes lower than the daily consumption in the country. The implication is that petrol stations will be selling fairly higher than the fixed price of N185 (some sells N190, N205, N225, N250 and so on depending on the area). And during peak periods of scarcity, which are also engineered by the marketers, Nigerians still buy same subsidised petrol for as high as N400, N500 and even N800 as the case was in first quarter of this year while sleeping in filling stations. Again, marketers make double.

3. Marketers also import above the daily consumption of 60 million litres as seen above and still force the federal government to pay subsidy on the excesses, which are usually part of what they smuggle to neighbouring countries. Again, marketers dupe Nigeria.

4. This entire scenario makes a mess of the good intention of the Nigerian government to make petrol affordable for Nigerians.

5. This scarcity and high cost of the product despite subsidy leads to arbitrar increase in the cost of living. Transportation for instance, goes up crazily.

Moves to Remove Subsidy & Reactions

Therefore, successive federal governments having seen the outright abuse of the subsidy policy have always tried to cancel the policy so that market forces can determine the cost of petrol.

More so, the huge amount of money paid into the pockets of Marketers can be channeled to other meaningful venture such as infrastructural development, agriculture, social security, technology, health, etc.

However, whenever the move to remove subsidy is made, the Marketers are quick to shutdown their filling stations and deprive Nigerians access to the already subsided fuel in their possession. This leads to instant scarcity regime and hardship (like we are already witnessing).

And while the marketers make more money on one hand, they force and instigate Nigerians against the federal government with the hardship created on the other hand.

Then, the innocent Nigerians who do not understand the politics behind subsidy goes on strike, attacks the government and force her to continue the subsidy regime. We pay more for our ignorance at the long run.

The marketers are happy; they remain the top billionaires in Africa. Everyone loves them, wish to be like them, and celebrate them. Whereas the federal government count her losses, takes the insult, bears the bad name and pity uninformed/suffering Nigerians like you and me.
Let us come together and stop this (less than 1%) few oil thieves. Let support *REMOVAL OF FUEL SUBSIDY*
