I am not the one changing topics here, you asked me about IMF, I agreed. I asked you to give me the figures. Actual figures that back your assertion that there is mnoney to pay subsidies without floating the naira and all you have been doing is to show your parents should have used a condom and when they did give birth to you they should not have wasted their money or the governments resources saying they are sending you to school.
ignoramus talking about supplementary budget in an effort to sound enlightened to his ignorant audioence not realising he is arguing against himself. The only reason govt had money for a supplementary budget is 1) because they removed subsidies and he floated the Naira both actions resulting in more naira for the govt....the exact things you say they should not have done!!!
good night!!

OkCornel:
As long as crude oil prices are volatile and fuel price at the pumps are stable, subsidy is involved.

Subsidy is the element that keeps the price stable until the government decides to revisit the price.

In summary, there is still subsidy.

It would be much better for the government to subsidise the cost of crude supplied to local refineries than this current nonsense subsidy model that only enriches the racketeers in the oil sector.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Why are we always quick to point fingers?

Obasanjo should remember that the issues with fuel subsidy didn't start today. Tinubu is trying to navigate through a maze of challenges left behind by previous administrations.

Instead of casting blame, let’s support the efforts to find a sustainable solution. We need to look at the bigger picture and give room for progress, no matter how slow it may seem.

What’s important is that we keep pushing for better policies and hold the government accountable, not just criticize from the sidelines.

DeepSight:


Yes oh, good night.

casualobserver:


exactly! you like all the other ignorant Nigerians make claims you cannot substantiate. figures are things that are not subjective. that is why they say figures do not lie. I asked for figures, you cannot provide figures instead you start to speak in tongues.


EEEEdiot!

Good night oh.

Nothing like subsidy oga. Is just a scam word. We get our pms from those that explore our crude and NNPC set d price.

Tinupoo want more revenue that's why he increased d pms price. He now taxing Nigerian almost #600 on a liter of pms purchased.

More money to steal for him at d expense of hungry Nigerians. That's is why all his promises of CNG are fake. Dangote too want to gbenusi d scamming

Please, stop defending the indefensible. It doesn't make any sense at all.
Did you understand what Obj said?
He was a 2Term civilian president and once a military head of state. So he knows what you don't know. Tinubu is the cause of the hardship we are facing now, by his thoughtless decision and statement on fuel subsidy removal, when he hasn't even sat on the chair even for a minute.
Obj, is saying, the haste to remove, caused inflation that has brought it back again.
Can't you understand that the fuel subsidy is back again, despite Tinubu's denial that it has been removed and can't be restored again. Obj knows what he is saying please.

omohayek:

And how are the refineries supposed to "work", when the price of their output is lower than the cost of their inputs? With what funds are they to be repaired, and then maintained? Where is the money to cover their losses supposed to come from? Is it with the very same FG revenue that's being guzzled by the oil subsidies you want kept in place?

It's funny how those who lack an understanding of basic financial concepts of profit and loss are the quickest to offer their imagined insights into economic problems ...

trutharena:
Obasanjo is just trying to stir the pot. Nigerians are moving forward with President TINUBU’s vision for a better economy!

Tareq1105:


Obasanjo was talking trash.

What efforts did he put in place when he was there?

He too was increasing pump price every 6 months as the price was going up in the international market.

I'm not surprised to read this from a man who thinks he's the best in the world.

Tinubu was only trying to get subsidy off our back forever.

Philipponzaghi:
Obasanjo needs to understand that progress comes with challenges. Tinubu's decision to remove the subsidy was a bold step towards long-term economic growth. We can't keep holding onto short-term fixes that stifle our potential. Change is hard, but necessary for a brighter Nigeria. Let’s support our president as he navigates these tough waters.

Obasanjo should focus on his own legacy instead of critiquing Tinubu. The man is trying to make tough decisions for the country. Let's give him the chance to steer the ship without all these distractions.
