If Tunibu decides to remove the subsidy, it would make him seem like the most incompetent president ever. But I know how brave Tunibu is, and I believe no amount of criticism will stop him from pushing Nigeria forward. Thanks.

Removing the subsidy is their main demand because the people behind this protest are the ones benefiting from it, and they want it back to drain Nigeria even more.

This decision is the right move to improve Nigeria. We've already seen how he increased the allocation by 41%. I can't understand what these people are thinking when they say Timangu is on the wrong path.

To make Nigeria better, everyone needs to make sacrifices. What you eat is your responsibility than the government's. Let that really sink in.

Agreed......but then tell me, what sacrifice has the govt. or our undergone Made......mention just one. At least a leader must lead by example.

So you all think that you can arm twist Tinubu, definitely you don't know whom you are dealing with. This is JAGABAN, not Goatluck Jonathan.

Now, you have been warned, protesters would be dealt with mercilessly.

Fuel Subsidy is gone forever, and FOREX subsidy is also a foregone issue.

So brace up for the challenges. We will change Nigeria, but we will alo make sacrifices

11th January, 2012

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) national leader and former governor of Lagos State, has accused the Jonathan presidency of betraying its social contract with the people by suddenly removing fuel subsidy.
He, however, provided a window out of the crisis: if subsidy must be removed at all, it must never be at one fell swoop. Rather it must be on calibrated phrases, on which the promised gains are measured and confirmed before moving to the next phase of removal.
“Government must modify the sudden and complete removal of the subsidy. Either we restore the subsidy or use the funds for other social purposes,” Asiwaju Tinubu counselled in a special release he captioned, ‘Removal of oil subsidy – President Jonathan breaks social contract with the people’ and which he personally signed.
“If we are to use the funds for other programmes, these programmes shall be placed on parallel track with the subsidy. As more of these programmes are ready to go on line, then the subsidy can be lifted in phases” he continued. “In this way, the public is assured government will not lower its total expenditure on their behalf, thus maintaining the spirit central to the social contract.”
But the former governor cautioned the federal government against economic policies that tend to balance the books at the detriment of the people’s welfare.
“As there is progressive politics, there is progressive economics. As there is elitist politics, there is elitist economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu explained. “It all depends on what and who in society government would rather favour. The Jonathan tax,” he declared, “represents a new standard in elitism.”
But the ACN national leader cautioned the president against being captive to economic orthodoxy and its local purveyors, who always look at the Nigerian economy as nothing until when tied to the apron strings of the conservative orthodoxy.
“Because he is slave to wrong-headed economics,” Asiwaju Tinubu said of President Goodluck Jonathan, “the people will become enslaved to greater misery. This crisis will bear his name and will be his legacy. The people now pay a steep tax for voting him into office. The removal of the subsidy is the ‘Jonathan tax’,” he insisted. “The situation shows that ideas count more than personalities. People may occupy office but how that person performs depends on the ideas that occupy his mind.”
Insisting that the subsidy removal was ill-timed, he said there must be some conditions precedent before such a step could be taken.
“First government needs to clean up and throw away the salad of corruption in the NNPC [Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation]. Then, proceed to lay the foundation for a mass transit system in the railways and road network with long term bonds and,” he added, “fully develop the energy sector towards revitalising Nigeria’s economy and easing the burden any subsidy removal may have on the people.”
The former governor however counselled protesters to go about the protests in a peaceful manner, and to eschew all forms of violence.

lexy2014:

how has this increased allocation made life better for nigerians compared to the subsidy that previously held down the price of fuel?

where are you going to get accountability from your politicians?

have previously obtained accountability from them in anything?

is it nw that allocation increased that they will be accountable?

who are these rent seekers?

if you say the increased allocation "represents what was largely unaccounted hitherto and embezelled by rent seekers", has the increased allocation not been embezzled?

I feel this is what we need to protest for. We must know what every senator earns as allowance. We demand accountability or we protest. These people are excessively greedy. We demand the accountability starting from the LG chairmen . By the time we beat hell out of them that will reset their brains. Same can be done to legislooters. Cost of governance is excessive in Nigeria.

I did warn you people about the consequences of wasting your votes on Labour Party last year. Nobody listened.

I always knew that Tinubu lacks compassion.

I always knew this man is a devil.

I always knew Atiku was the only hope to oust him.

I always knew PO will sabotage Atiku’s chances by depleting it, thereby increasing the chances of Tinubu.

I always knew this protest will flop because Tinubu is very smart with things like this.

I always wanted a Southerner to be president after Buhari, but would rather have another Northerner than a devilish president.

I know that if we don’t make desperate plans towards 2027, we’re doomed.

I know that if Peter Obi doesn’t return to PDP and start rallying support for 2027, this devil will continue in power and hand over to another devil in 2031.

There's no consequences. At least not a correlating one.

He'll do 4 (and possibly 8 years) and go like those before him.

Show me one Nigeria ex president or head of state that's facing any consequences?

Re: Tinubu Rules Out Return Of Fuel Subsidy, Says Decision Painful But Necessary by NADESMAN: 8:06am On Aug 04

The main issue of this protest is not discussed.

Nigerians you have seen it naaa.
He removed subsidy which is good but when you do a good thing in a wrong way it makes the good thing to become bad thing.

He would have set in place things to cushion the effect of subsidy removal before removing the subsidy.

If the roof of your house is licking and your property is soaked in water,you don't buy new properties to replace the damaged ones but first fix the roof before any other thing.

As the main issue of this protest is not touched,
Does it mean that the protest should continue or stop.

Since sap, ordinary Nigerians have been making sacrifice, many have died making sacrifice yet no light at end of tunnel. In the midst of all these sacrifice billions of dollars and trillions of naira have been stolen by leaders who are not making sacrifice. Dem use sacrifice and belt tighten swear for Nigerians

You are a dumbass.
Allocations have increased because of naira devaluation. the increase you are talking about is useless.
Fuel subsidy removal was a good thing.
But what of the spendings e.g., aircraft, vp residence, cars etc. Robbing nigerians to continue thir ostententious lifestyle.
