dunkem21: So, because we do not know if Buhari will loot the subsidy funds is a good justification to continue to enrich some cabals? |

Super1Star: Which courts pronounced judgments on any of them? Or you think this is some criminal military junta? Nigeria is a corrupt country. The courts and their judges are not spared. |

Firefire: That is not the whole truth, with all due respect. Deregulation is by its very name an invitation to oppresive irregularities. we are not talking about onions and pepper that can be left to market forces. the ideal term is liberalization as we have in the banking industry. The current price of oil demonstrates that removal of subsidy cabal will only create a marketers' cartel. either way corruption is the problem. Is govt subsidizing cement? why is the price going up? Fundamentals of demand and supply in oil industry involves transparent liberalization of the process, that is why we have Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Act. What does it take to import? what does it take to tank? what are the incidental cost? Who qualifies to import? who verifies? What is the arbitration process? When you keep all these process in the dark how can any other policy work in complete anarchy? Total for instance will rather refine crude than import products. Think about it: will deregulation open a floodgate of supply? No. so it remains a sellers market. if it doest how about standard. Every sector currently enjoys arbitrary price regime, tarrifs, interest, profits name it. |

I believe "most" recent scarcity is not caused by the oil marketers but the strike embarked upon by NUPENG/PENGASSAN to protest the sale of some oil blocks by the FG. Or can you explain the sudden scarcity of diesel and kerosene, are they subsidised too? Before you blame the "Occupy" movement, has the FG explained the sudden increase in subsidy money from N0.4T to about N1.8T in 2011? Or don't you think we deserve to know? |

Can someone explain why the price of diesel remain unchanged (before recent scarcity) even though the price of crude oil is almost halved since late last year? |

Hmm!! The Jonathanian spin machinery at work. You guys now want to blame what we're going through on the protests, you guys know you're not being truthful. I wasn't back in Nigeria during the protests but if I'm wrong on the exact figures please correct me, before the removal petrol was selling at N69/ltr right?? It shot up to N140/ltr (again pls correct me if I'm not getting it right) then it went down to N97/ltr. It never went back down the N69 it took off from. What does this mean? Just doing basic math it means the FG used to subsidize a total of N71/ltr (a lot of people still don't agree with how they came up with that) after the protest they started subsidizing N43/ltr with a savings of N28/ltr. The questions many Nigerians are asking now is what have they done with the N28/ltr. To ask even more questions, we must have had additional savings because the price of crude fell sharply meaning we started saving more on the subsidy payments, where has all that money gone to? After all these savings why is subsidy payment increasing instead of decreasing?? Then if the scarcity is caused by those that were against the removal of subsidy for petrol, then why is Kerosene and Diesel scarce as well? |

PassingShot: Oga, when GEJ talked about removing the subsidy at the expense of the cabals ..your folks went to the streets to protest ..was there protest against the cabals or GEJ |
Re: 2012 Subsidy Protest: Read Text Of President Jonathan’s Broadcast by dunkem21(m): 4:48pm On May 24, 2015 |
PassingShot: The major stakeholders need that information to hoard the products. In fact, the stakeholders sponsored the rallies ..if not for the insistence of GEJ and NOI, petrol will still be @N67 today. |

Firefire:What do u call what this? A face-saving thread for GEJ? Who are u trying to force feed wt this ur stale broth? Son, GEJ was clueless and was always found wanting putting d cart beffore d horse. If not how else do u explain dt he jst woke up n decided to take out "subsidy" when d refineries were comatose. Even after the negotiations to end d protest, where r d palliative measures that normally should b in place b4 taking such action with devastating effect on the polity! Do u see d buses? Firefire, go get more fire, too many fresh woods like mine no smoke! |

Op is wrong. There's no subsidy in Kerosene and diesel.GEJ reintroduced it. The so called subsidy removal was just a price increase. |

The reason Nigerians frowned at the total removal of subsidy was a case of TRUST. Every1 knew that the rate of corruption and embezzlement of public funds in GEJs govt was alarming! It would be a case of stealing from the poor to give the rich! GEJ lacked the integrity and moral rectude to pronounce such...you dont give your belongings to criminals to keep for you! What happened to the money realised from the partial removal? Did you not see how SURE-P and YOUWIN programmes were fraudulent and highly mismanaged?? If GEJ and his govts integrity hasnt been in question then, Nigerians would have not blinked at that proposal...so dont blame ANYBODY. However, I support buhari to take it off TOTALLY, cos i know that he doesnt depend on sycophants to make his decisions.. Cc: Firefire and Dearpreye |
