chopnaira: You said that right, We were subsidizing petrol and dollars to the whole of west Africa. Please keep the borders closed, the prices will come down eventually, purchasing power determines the price of goods in a closed system. If the government sanitizes the forex upstream and downstream channels, This government would have won the first round. Problem is a lot of Government officials are the main dollar criminals, its not the people earning minimum wage or unemployed. The Dollar criminals are the lawmakers and Elites. Tinubu doesn't have the balls to tackle them yet. Although rumor has it, he is one of them....lol 34 Likes 6 Shares |

malali:false. We are currently importing Fuel so therefore purchasing power can’t determine the price. Once dangote starts refining the price he bought crude ( an internationally Priced raw material) will be the starting point for costing computation and refining cost. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

ednut1: I meant locally produced goods, not imported fuel. Imported fuel is international commodity market. However foodstuff and other goods produced in Nigeria 100% will eventually come down in prices. 5 Likes |

malali:insecurity has affected foodstuff. For the locally produced goods cost of diesel has gone up and some of the raw materials are imported too. There has to be an all out war on bandits and oil theft. 12 Likes |

With the removal of fuel subsidy, it was only a matter of time before the once lucrative racketeering of fuel across the borders die a slow but agonizing death. Also, the closure of some of our northern borders especially the Niger border due to ECOWAS sanctions on the coupist has drastically cut off a major artery for smuggled fuel. Another master stroke may also have been the change of guard at the helms of the customs, immigration and other relevant bodies. The former heads may have turned a blind eye to smugglers and smuggling activities or were willing participants in the massive sleaze. It is however not lost in this discuss that Nigerians have drastically cut down on the use of fuel due to the harsh economic climate. Generators are running less or not at all, people are commuting less and far between, disposable incomes are channelled into more gainful ventures than supporting luxury and a host of other factors. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

ednut1: The people living with the bandits know who they are. Bandits are not ghosts, and they dont live in the bush on trees, village heads, local villagers if recruited will snitch on the bandits. I have lived in rural Nigeria, the people living there know those who spend money without an obvious source of livelihood. Oil theft is also organized crime, nobody wakes up and decides to go and steal oil that day randomly, DSS should place spies in oil communities and arrest people massively, hire the local youths to protect the pipelines and prosecute the strong headed ones. There are a lot of country with more pipelines than Nigeria, no oil theft. 12 Likes 1 Share |

chopnaira:Actually, your petrol is still much cheaper so how can you tell that you are no longer subsidizing for these countries? On the other hand, it could be that petrol has become too expensive for the average Nigerian to buy and people rather pack their cars. 1 Like |

Mugus above me say we no longer subsidize for Togo Benin and co This people use CFA and we sell fuel in naira If they buy fuel for 1k per liter they will sell at 1500 in their country and make more profit. How is that possible? 1 CFA is equals to 2.65 naira With 300 CFA I will buy 2 litres of fuel from nnpc filling station. I will sell it at 500 CFA which is still profitable. So we remove subsidies from fuel but gave them advantage via the exchange rate. Na won win for them 2 Likes |
