The Problem of humanity is so enormous. But the black man instead providing solution to humanity problems in all areas provide more problems.

It a known facts that the government over pay PMS nigerian consume daily in the name of subsidy. There is no accurate data and statisces to match our daily consumption. Thereby the subsidy money is been siphon by people in government and they go about telling different story about how people export fuels to neirbouring country, etc.. which not the major problem of subsidy scam.

Many Nigerians are under an illusion that there is subsidy money
So they keep talking of

The money The money

People do not get it

Even if government wants to pay subsidy

IT CANNOT
It doesn't have the money
It is owing Nearly 3 trillion so the only way for subsidy is to borrow.
There is a limit to that

Subsidy will stop and THE MONEY you are referring to does not exist

There is no such money.
It was budgeted till June 30
They could not find the money

A long time ago we had room to stop it and divert the money

That time has passed
We are now at the point when the landlord has come to throw out property.


AGAIN there is no money. Buhari has bankrupted the country
But it was this same Tinubu who brought Buhari, who has bankrupted the Country.

Since you hate the government in power so much and you don't want it to favour you and your family, then may you all be miserable and unfortunate in this administration. Amen.

To the best of my knowledge and for the interest of all my fellow youths in Nigeria and in Diaspora, Tinubu is a great and good man . ..

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the best thing that will ever happen to Nigeria as a Country and he is unarguably the best, enlightened, brilliant and the most energetic man for the Job .


God Bless Nigeria and Bola Ahmed Tinubu once again

You had better not organise any unfruitful protest. People are more enlightened now than during the time of Jonathan when elite who happened to be the beneficiaries of this fraud called subsidy were able to cajole common men into severe protest that was used to stalemate the process then.

NLC will just discover they and some unrepentant Christian bigotry are alone on this

NLC should insist on removing the subsidy by 50%. When you remove it by 50%, use that money to provide palliatives ahead of total removal in a couple of years.

Why can't the government pay this subsidy to Dangote refinery directly and have the refinery supply it to Nigerians if they claim that corruption is the problem?

The government as someone said is broke. They have no money. Practically all government revenue is used to service debt. The entire budget this year will be borrowed and you expect the government to keep borrowing money to pay subsidies? Even the money for any palliative will be borrowed.

There's no money to provide palliatives. History has even shown that these palliatives are deceptive. I was born in the 70s and I have seen a lot of worthless palliatives come and go.

Rather than palliatives, government should work on bringing down the price of food by lifting the ban on the importation of poultry products and place on it low import duties. This will bring down the high cost of poultry food. Same should be done with rice. Nigeria has no comparative advantage in rice production. Lift the ban and place a 15% import duty on rice. This will help bring down the cost of food.

The import duty will raise lots of revenue for the government. Lifting the ban will also provide low cost food for the masses you care so much for.

Thankfully for Nigeria and President Tinubu and his wonderful policies, the NLC has no choice but to allow common sense and present realities to set in and accept the fact that we all have no choice but to embrace subsidy removal.

We all need to adjust, move and do our part for our country.

Nobody would follow you protest. All the contestants vowed to remove fuel subsidy including your choice Obi but Tinubu was the one chosen and he removed subsidy. So what's has he done wrong?

NLC would be divided and factionalized under Ajaero, this I know.

It's only then that Ajaero would know that unionism is voluntary.

I dare him to call workers out for strike, let Ajaero test his popularity over this policy and let's see the outcome.

The refineries were deliberately made dysfunctional. So, they won't think of fixing it. It is a Northern agenda.

My problem is not the subsidy removal but the palliatives you guys are proposing. Please I don't want palliatives but #100k minimum wage. That is the only thing that can cushion the effects of subsidy removal. The unemployed can be supported with the palliatives

Minimum wage is a terrible policy. Government shouldn't be setting prices for ANYTHING, including labor.

Thanks.

So for 8yrs APC could not also build a refinery? Nigeria. If this is permanently removed they should allow various importers to import this fuel so that market determines the price.

Or is it all planned out to allow dangote milk us dry?

Open borders for importation of the products by everyone that can already

Pay Dangote subsidy? Haba, na the exportation and transport govt dey for.

If the refinaries don dey work as dem tell us, we dont need to worry.

Subsidy na money government dey pay industry or business to make products cheaper.....E.g Educational system na priority.

It seems you dnt understd d issue on subsidy. Subsidy is a crime where majority of this independent marketer take this products to neighbouring countries and our PMS is d cheapest in Africa but we can channel the money to subsidise food items but this is just my personal opinion

Oga, everybody enjoys PMS subsidy in Nigeria. Don't let anyone fool you. We cannot generate 10kmegawatts of electricity but we want to remove PMS subsidy. You will see how this subsidy removal will trigger inflation by next week.

Good...

Although I'm sceptical about the fuel subsidy removal at this time.

But the question is, when is the best time or right time to get it removed?

I will still go with the president's directives that it should be removed immediately and in full.

And you never thought it would have best for your Asiwaju to roll out
Let's suffer it once and for all and enjoy later.

If it's partially removed now, transporters will still increase their fare and after the some time, if the government remove it totally, they will still increase their fare.

That's double punishment.

I trust Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to roll out his incentive to cussion the effect of the suffering masses.

And you never thought it would have been best for your Asiwaju to roll out the incentives that will caution against the effects of this subsidy removal first before opening his mouth wide to vomit this nonsense?

Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of NLC fit test his popularity on this issue by calling for a Protest

Subsidy has gone with the Buhari Administration.

I trust Asiwaju on this issue though, he won't backtrack.

Then that is very senseless, I doubt if this man can make any changes, starting with this subsidy he has failed. Saying he wouldn't back down but rather allow the masses to pay for petroleum products with very high price which we all know even imported fuel will not cost that much. We all suffer it together

This Ajaero is supposed to be representing the whole workers in Nigeria.

But he is too compromised and very weak.
He too had been bought over.
