So long as we refuse to invest in new refineries, fix the existing ones to refine at full capacity, generate and distribute enough electricity that would serve the citizeneries of this country, we can curse to the end of the earth. We will forever be at the mercy of these fuel marketers. PDP as a party for the past 16 yrs has refused to come up with a plan to put an end to fuel importation becos its cronies breath and live on the fraud called subsidy. Come may 29th 2015, GMB has a mandate to liberalise this sector, pass the PIB bill so that investors can build new refineries, audit the TAM contract of the existing refineries and privatise them. The same cabals running the fuel importation business are the same people running the power sector. GMB has his hands full, but we know he can deliver in four years.

I pray to God that you are right. GMB has got a hell of a job in front of him to clean up the big mess he will inherent from the outgoing clueless one. May God help him.

Funny enough, if there was one policy I supported him for, it was the removel of subsidy.

I have known it to be a scam, a conduit for looting the treasury and largely an unsustainable mechanism.

I would gladly acccept its removal today as i was back then.

So, before you think every single person in opposition of his leadership is in opposition to all his policies, realise ....it simply isn't true.

no Nigerian even the labour union support subsidy. We all want subsidy to be removed. However before the subsidy should be remove the refinery should be repair and new refinery build to meet our fuel demand. Pdp had 16 yrs to upgrade our refinery but they choose to do nothing

OH GOD OF IMMORTAL CREATION I THANK YOU FOR TAKING ME OUT OF THIS HOARD LIVING CALLED A NATION.I COULD REMEMBER FEB 2014 WHEN I HAD TO PASSED TRU THIS HARDSHIP CALLED FUEL SCARCITY. MANY NON CRUDE OIL EXPORTING NATIONS NEVER PASSED THROUGH DZ. MAKE ALL NAIRALANDERS HELEP ME TANK BABA GOD WITH 21 HALLELUJAH. ....HAPPY NEW MONTH AS I BRING to u this morning greetings from this side of d world, even as I wish u fulfilment in all u do today, this week and in all ur life endeavours.MAY OUR NATION BE GREAT AGAIN IJN

voltron:
Too toooo late for a fix.. nigeria needs a solution that involves destroying the cabal with vested interests in the country's progress. Crude prices are low. Revenue streams have dropped.. we export nothing but highly unskilled labour and we breed more buffoons than smarts. We must take matters into our hands if GMB is not ready to take the knife to the throats of the people who are making sure our generations never progress further than us.

fuel subsidy is corruption,but that is what oil marketers like tinubu etal enjoy.when president jonathan try to remove it you guys riot in Lagos.

Pres. Jonathan has fight for total subsidy removal but the structure in nigeria need many first class refinery that is functioning well to do that.hence he manage and there was fuel.


As pres. Jonathan is leaving he removed the subsidy from the budget so that when GMB comes in,it will be left for GMB to either implement what he claimed is corruption or better still let GMB give us the N40 petrol
arent that the change you seek.

This is even when the militant activities have not started.i praythey should be civil and leave bombing of oil facilities alone,but if GMB push them the case will be worse than this.GMB will be worse than Gej.

Gej is even reasoning with his PH.D .let see what a school sat has to offer.

Geees! 14 hrs? Was it worth it?

that's heaven compared to what we are face in Abuja, ask any body about NNPC filling station at wuse zone 1 or games village... I left my home by 4am and got fuel aroun 5:30 pm

Before Baba election victory, it was rare seeing soldiers' maltreatment of civilians in that style as shone yesterday in the petrol station.

Take it or leave it, you voted and brought back to rule you a soldier who ruled after soldiers used force to down a democratically-elected government. So don't blame the soldiers if they take the stance of being a most superior set in Nigeria. Don't blame Nigeria soldiers if tomorrow they organize and down a civilian government.

Simply put, after Baba's election victory, soldiers may have resorted to their old belief that they are the most superior set in Nigeria.

Whatever steps a government used in about five Years to stop harsh scarcity of engine fuel which for decades frequently arrested movement in Nigeria, the government needed to be applauded.

After our notorious religious violence, wonder how many TRUE experts from the West can venture into Nigeria for refinery works.

Not wishing Baba bad, but one thing is certain, irrespective of the experts Baba must be constrained to employ to govern Nigeria, the buck must stop at Baba's table; but how many months or years of further schooling had Baba put in since the last time he was HoS?

Please stop being insulting or don't reply me again.

Which soldiers are u referring to?The same soldiers that denied him prior to the elections? . And again, u sounding like ruling Nigeria is rocket science.

PDP is a curse and i pray it dies a natural death once the president hands over. GEJ and his PDP never had a fore plan to build refineries with the monies he would have saved aftersubsidy removal. The same govt for the past 16 years has been awarding TAM contracts to its cronies for years without anything to show for it. A govt that cant revive its refineries in years, how then would it have been able to build refineries in little time it had. If the govt was sincere about building refineries, passage of the PIB bill would have been its priority. Till date, the bill has not been passed. How do u encourage investors to put their money in refining when the bill still remains contentious.Subsidy removal would have created a channel for the party to embezzle the countrys scarce resources . As for the die hard TANOIDS, get over GEJ loss.Come may 29th, a new sheriff would be in town.

Gej was even reason and a PH.D holder.let see what a school sat has to offer.

What is PhD and school sat got to do with administration.GMB may not hv PhD but has lots of administrative experience and lots of trainings on administration.Our major in Nig. Is selection based mainly on qualificatn and not experience.Also,GMB has minimum qualificatn which is enough for any public office administratn in Nig. GMB is competent and has wealth of experiences.He has been tried and tested before and he can still do it again.Please, don't condemn him.Nigerians believe in him and he will not fail us,provided people like u do not frustrate his administatn.Anyway he has ways of dealing with people like.

Isn't it funny that barcanista and temitemi1 will line up for 7hrs to buy fuel...

Then go home charge their phone/laptop using their generators..then log online to declare "GEJ till 2019"

Misery needs company indeed.

How will I drive

meforyou1:
Op, here in abuja, u can't find a single station selling fuel. Even the 2 major ones, conoil and Total, opposite NNPC towers are not selling. The queue in NNPC mega station is as long as from Ikeja to Lekki.
I personally have been going through hell in the last 2 weeks buying black market 2500 for 10 litres that last only 2 days for each

bros how good is the fuel from black market ,hope it's not adulterated -my main fear

when he finally become president by May 29 he GMB will be his undoing.he started with AIT misfire.

He is going to do more baffling things.

I still strongly believe his education is his weakest point.

The hoarding of fuel has started in preparation for the incoming olodo.

what a pathetic soul. Who is d Olodo now. Person who has not handled government machinery or d one who is still in charge??

Atk01:
Later, some people will be running mouth on how corrupt our leaders are. The filling station attendants won't sell to people, but they will collect extra cash and sell to the black marketers.
So very annoying.

d discipline starts from d top. If u know ur oga ontop is not corrupt and doesn't take nonsense, u will be afraid to take bribe. Do u need anybody to tell u not to carry drugs to Indonesia??

chuna1985:


Many said there was no subsidy in the first place, Many are now complaining that it has been removed.

dis present government is confused. It cannt even defend or discredit claims on fuel subsidy.

Slimborne:
Nigerians are the most ungreatfull humans ever present on earth, a govt took the pains to try dismantling the cabals that held Nigerians to ransom for years with 6 months intervals of compensatory scarcity to oil marketers to quiet them from the steady loot that was going on in the industry,
GEj took the painful decision of turning from this cabal whose back he rode to power against all odds by attempting subsidy removal, ie let the market be competitive n people patronize the cheapest,
the cabals got angry we didn't support him, he retraced his steps,
even at that keep the country wet with fuel for more than 3years although not at very friendly prices, ask yourself, since march 2011 till February 2015 when was the last time you had to bribe an attendant to get a litre of fuel,

OBJ was minister of petrol himself in his regime but scarcity was every 6-7months

when GEJ needed us the masses whom he worked for, we joined the cabal who held us to ransom for years to castigate him.
l

did he deal with d cabal?? Where dey arrested and taken to court like what happened in d Banking industry. We know d case of Cecilia Ibru, Akingbola etc. Tell me anyone in d petroleum industry dat was dealt with

So in your mind you jump the guilty party and head straight for the next victim of these troubles to blame?? Guy you dey think so?? Do you know who the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is? Goodluck Ebele Jonathan! If you have any gripes or grievances take them squarely to him.

What a great day in Oando filling station at ile-epo, agege, lagos.... I bounced out of my house at around 11a.m in the terrible heat in search of fuel, and after trekking up to a mile and visited eight filling stations, i landed in HELL...

Yes i called it hell because it was a very big battle ground as every buyer fought to get served... Hundreds of buyers were beaten for misbehaving by the MOPOL and SOLDIERS in charge...

I recorded over 28 fight videos but too bad i can't upload them here... Even the MOPOLs fought With Soldiers... It was fun as i 'gisted' political issues with many people and scoped the beautiful ladies on the queue.... To see how bad we Nigerians are, the branch manager was beaten by a soldier for filling four 50 litres kegs of petrol and kept in his office to sell for those interested in black market....

OP I was at same filling station at dat period with my cousin.. I left at abt 3:30pm after I lobbyed one of der sales guy to buy 1500 for 10litres.. because dey stopped selling for cars so we had to revert to gallons. I experienced d tear gas iish buh not d soldier beating d manager..yea d black market fin was real. d lady was feeling herself.. most of d gals der were not fanimorous except for a very few of dem.. we lifted 1 on our way out though we promised to give er part of our petrol..in d process of dragging with my cousin..we didn't realise she was almost at er destination. Fun though! Those stupid tout collected money from us b4 our car was allowed in.

In the last 5 years, this ugly experience of Fuel Scarcity became forgotten, a thing of the past.
From the look of things, may be, this is just the beginning.

If this goes on for one year under Baba, the economy of South Sudan must overtake Nigeria's. Those who said it was a lie that under Jonathan government, Nigeria's economy overtook South Africa's as Africa's fastest growing economy, because Nigerians were not also rich ....

Sai Baba.
Sai Baba.

how can fuel scarcity persist for a year??

Banba blackfase we need non docile naija men like you. What kind on weaponry do you prefer. When time for war start, we know wan hear say you be the only son in your family. Sacrifice for the nation is paramount. How does a captain blackfase of the People's Liberation Army sound?

this country need a change.

A failed 54 years old country.

mandax:


GEJ is busy preparing handover notes. You still de blame Jonathan.

During the last time Baba was HoS, we had to queue for hours before we got items as common as sugar, tea, rice, etc. They were rationed to us as essential commodities by koboko-wielding soldiers, as we stood for up to 10 hours sometimes under rain and sun.

Since then, Baba never attend any school to better his knowledge about governing a country.

Did you not see the ugly treatment soldiers gave to civilians in the filling station yesterday? Before Baba won, soldiers no de display such harsh mannerism. Continue to blame Jonah.

When you were shouting Sai Baba, and people were telling you that you want change from fry pan to fire, hate for Jonathan and his people no allow you think.
Next time, a soldier can overthrow a civilian government, then after running military dictatorship, that soldier comes back to you and ask you to vote him president, why can't you vote the ex-dictator and he becomes president?

Last presidential election, you people gave serving soldiers a license to organize military coup d'etat.

What on Earth is this dumbo saying! Is this the first time you've heard that soldiers beat up civilians anyhow?.

Please next time open your mouth and speak after you've reason very well with your brain!.

No Nigerian supported the subsidy?! Bros, that is TOTALLY UNTRUE! Didnt you follow the protests in Lagos? Werent the labour demanding dor the reversion of the FG decision b4 everyone settled for N97 and the FG rolled out the troops? Personally i was hounded and insulted for supporting the FG's decision on social media. Now everyone's claiming support for the subsidy removal. Bullcrap! Enough of this selective amnesia abeg.

When will trash ends....mr GEJ, u wan spoil ur back abi

I travelled from Lagos to Enugu yesterday n d story was d same in every state we passed. I think d ones being sold in d east must be VERY MUCH ADULTERATED cos transporters wanted to fill their tank before crossing Onitsha bridge as they don't trust what z being sold by their fellow brothers across the bridge
