You got it all wrong.
Lot of Nigerians are poor but subsidy staying only make the rich cabal richer and the poor masses poorer.

Subsidy must go.

in ur warp logic to make the cabal not getting richer then the poor must suffer?

Firefire:



Nigerians and posterity will be the judge of the wicked element holding Nigeria back.


Give the dog a bad name and hang him syndrome was applied since 2012.

Here comes the days of reckoning.

Nigerians will never come to the point they can protest and attack their oppressors. You obviously underrated our capacity to endure sufferings!

Beremx:
don't forget to add you and your family among Nigerians who will suffer too.


If subsidy has to go,the APC led government must put in place structures so as to make sure the severity of the removal of subsidy doesn't affect Nigerians. Nigerians have suffered since the beginning of the fuel scarcity saga. The suffering is just too much!

I totally agree. He may believe he acted in good faith, but in the eyes masses and common sense, it was wrong move at the time.

I believe his PR team did some poor job there. Mr President isn't some callous and insensitive folk, but the inability of his administration to effectively communicate and persuade the masses to follow him was responsible for the widespread criticism and lampooning it received.

My brother, I disagree here. Sensitive and classified information like subsidy removal needs to be done without the public knowledge and explain later.

1. If you tell me that subsidy is going to be removed, I will stock up fuel @N67 and sell at whatever price. Remember, these marketers are smart and always waiting for an information to strike.

2. A lot of heated debate ensued and Nigerians got to know the implications of subsidy removal but the propaganda machinery of the APC swung into action with all manner of protests. The FG was forced to introduce partial subsidy amidst curses from masses.

My point is that some sensitive info from govt should be kept secret. An example: The legislators have divulged to us that subsidy have been removed from the 2015 budget while the executive kept it away from the masses ..chaps like me already know that the price of PMS will be higher than N87 before the year runs out.

Well, you've got some valid points.

If the suffering get to the high boiling point like we are approaching, No fuel, no power, no money and nothing is working because of the few wicked elements called cabals.

Then, NIGERIA REVOLUTION looms. I expect the interventions of the heavenlies.

dearpreye:


Bro, GEJ lacks the power and provision to punish anyone; only the courts do that!

Honestly, I'm not going to entirely blame the protesters for their action. .....but we're all feeling the hit now....

GEJ lacks the power, but he has the political and administrative clout to task EFCC to do their work.

The protesters are right after all. I was totally for the full deregulation, I feel stup1d for supporting such now.

One thing Buhari needs to do with immediate effect, is to announce full deregulation and go after the subsidy cabal in full swing too. It can't get worse than this.

The problem has never been about removal or not.

It has always been about the accountability of the part that was initially removed and how such removal has impacted positively on the lives of ordinary Nigerian.

You cannot remove subsidy, when you are only freeing more loose funds for some people to steal, at the expense of all. If government had tangible things to.point out to as the dividend of the removal, people will buy into it

I cannot remember anything the SURE-P achieved and USD20billion developed wings. Won't it have been better for the money to be used for payment of subsidy, rather than ending up in the bank account of devilish few

Their suffering is enough, but they refuse to blame themselves for their suffering, instead, they look for imaginary enemies...

We have to face the reality, subsidy must definitely go. There is no way we can have refineries built by private investors if subsidy does not go. I knew it will definitely go by 2017 whether there is scarcity or not, when Dangote completes his refinery. He was not a first mover for nothing.

With subsidy removal, there will be more refineries and more jobs.

It is a hard decision GMB will need to take quickly, before his administration will lose its goodwill.

..I remember begging people to take this your stand two years ago ..we would've been better today.

This is one reason I detest the APC. ..I might join the protests if they remove this subsidy ..Its a painful stand.

Good to know that we agree on this.

If he did the sensitization, he would have been right to stand his ground if people still went out to protest. But to wake up on January 1st to a news of increase in the pump price of petroleum products was never going to be accepted anywhere in the world.

It is high time we removed the fuel subsidy.

Enough is enough!

I hope Lie Mohamed will not protest against his party and organize nation-wide protest in Lagos against Buhari's removal of fuel subsidy.

We would not have been.better in anyway
I was in full support of deregulation too.

What it would have done is, it would have merely free up more funds for few to loot. GEJ's govt lack the moral strength to handle such idle and loose fund.

What happened to the little that was removed?

Comments like this piss me off. So, how do we know that Buhari's govt will not loot the loose funds

That is why I suggested that subsidy stays so that we can suffer it together.

Funny how myopic some Nigerians can get, always want to have their cake and eat it.


In 2012, the caption was;


Nigerians say no to fuel subsidy removal !


Operation occupy Nigeria !


Abi no be so ?


Why the complain now

even if he had tried to discuss it first, these same people would have said NO

So sorry you are still pained your mini god lost his reelection bid but never to be unnecessarily bittered ok, because such is the beaut of democracy.

Buhari has always maintained that whatever decisions he will take will first be informed to major stakeholders and seek their understanding.

Given this approach, I doubt if your protest will have any effect thereafter.

Who cares whether you are pissed or not?

I just laid the bitter truth bare. GEJ lack the moral rights to question the protest against the removal because events upon events had shown they were right after all.

Whatever actions taken by marketer or the masses at the knowledge of impending subsidy removal could only have been temporary and possibly could have lasted for a few weeks till the subsidy is removed.

At what point did the discussion take place? Surely not before the announcement. No responsible government anywhere in the world will do what GEJ did on January 1st 2012 and expect people not to embark on massive protest. Not even the military regimes will do that without massive protests.

With the knowledge that you now have, how much of fuel can you stock up? Possibly the much that can last you for a couple of weeks!

My point is, a responsible government and that which desires to succeed with a plan to remove such subsidy must inform the citizens, debate it for a reasonable period of time, weigh the pros and cons of it before finally taking an informed position.
