Funkyswagzz: Damm right you are. But the subsidy has to go. It is because of our unproductiveness that we don't have the cash to maintain it. |

giacomogiovanni: In my opinion GEJ should have just told them to shut up, and then removed the thing in its entirety. 2012 was the last time we could have done this subsidy removal painlessly. Now we have to do it in pains, lotsa pains. |

DeepSight: Thank you again for your gracious words, but the fact is, subsidy is unsustainable on a debt eating over 60% of our budget and a tax to gdp ratio of ten percent...and a budget of 18 billion dollars for 220 million people. LIke you cannot go back and change the fact that on the 22 of November 1963, Kennedy was taken away from us, you can't change the fact that subsidy is unsustainable. 1 Like |

Pardon me dear readers. I respectfully say that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's handlers and close associates are "Daft". You can see your principal willingly embark on a suicide mission and you have kept mute. Heineken Lokpobiri - Minister of State for Petroleum came on National TV to bareface lie to Nigeria that PMS price has been deregulated when a day before Dangote said clearly that NNPC is the sole domestic buyer of his PMS. The Presidency should prepare in the coming days as half of the Nigerian Population will be charged for "treasonable felony ". I mean how does this President think please ? Does the Presidency want to push reforms down the throat of its Citizens ? They say they don't want and can bearly survive is it by force ? |

nairalanda1: Do you know that if we can get the average and true volume of daily fuel consumption in Nigeria, subsidy can be effectively managed. Nigeria is a developing nation and can't do without subsidy even most developed nations have a form of subsidy in consumption of things that mostly affects their economy and standard of living. Your take against anything subsidy is a form of hatred against the common man in Nigeria. There must be subsidy for this nation to grow. The issue is knocking off the corruption factor. You don't cut off the head because you are having a migraine. 2 Likes |

Akwamkpuruamu: Actually, it won't work because 1. The cost of production is not static. 2.It would involve border security of the kind that would cost us trillions to build and maintain The main issue is smuggling....and smuggling happens in many countries with subsidised fuel...Saudi inclusive. If they can't solve it, I doubt we can. The only way is to remove subsidy, and disincetivise smuggling and make it more profitable to refine at home instead of at Malta... 1 Like |

nairalanda1: Ideally, are we even suppose to import fuel? Why can't the refinery work? If its working, would there be the need for a fuel subsidy? |

Re: Petrol Price Hike Will Worsen Inflation - Punch Editorial by nairalanda1(m): 8:02am On Sep 07 |
Akwamkpuruamu: Because subsidy makes domestic refining unattractive, unless you are dangote with a collateral that banks can use to get back their money in case you default on the loans they give you for refinery here. Right now, it would cost over N1000 to sell domestically refined fuel here. People want it to be sold at N200 or below. No one would be willing to refine fuel here Plus keeping the cost of production low over the years by government to keep subsidy costs low is why we lost 4 refineries...and why refining capacity went from 400000 in the 1980's to 6000 barrels per day by 2019. A refinery needs to make a profit to work well. That is why Niger and Ghana have working refineries...they sell the fuel at a profit. 2 Likes |

nairalanda1: Fayemi and his fellow smart APC members played politics with our destiny by getting Buhari’s 2011 running mate to lead the 2012 fuel deregulation protests. Obasanjo’s oversized ego helped Tinubu make Buhari president in 2015, and unwittingly helped Tinubu become president last year. 1 Like 1 Share |
