Super story...people really do forget easily, during her tenure, businesses were shutting down... banks, radio and TV stations, to flights being cancelled....yet nothing as such is yet to happen in the current administration.

However, the current situation needs to be addressed urgently so as not to get to the level of what Nigerians went through during the tail end of her tenure.

With Crude Sold at exorbitant prices and in large quantities, it was an easy fix to make it look as if Diezani was performing.

With Crude Prices low and Crude Sales dropping, there is no magic she would have done.

When Crude was sold higher, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told us to "Prepare For A Very Difficult Year."

You know something....why apologize to a woman who did nothing about the mess in NNPC....especially the fact that because we did not properly fix the refineries and add new ones under her rule.....we are in this mess.

1.You are paying N180 for fuel(it is still N86.50 in major marketers and NNPC fuel stations....higher in some independent marketers)....because the fuel subsidy.....WHICH YOU DO NOT WANT REMOVED....and which your new hero supported its removal....is preventing marketers from making profits....so as a result....they have to sell much higher than official price....or else they won't have the dollars needed to import.

2.Have you ever thought why we do not have the dollars for imports? It is because oil prices have fallen....so we can no longer waste dollars on everything.....we need it to keep up the naira....so that you sports fans wont be paying N100000 for a loaf of bread.

And if the subsidy goes.....you would be paying far higher for fuel. So...why are you complaining. Do you expect APC to diversify the economy in 10 months....when PDP and your new heroes did not do it in 16 years?

3.Ask your new hero why no new refineries were built? Even if the ones we have are working at full capacity....we would still need to import 23 million liters of fuel every day. And the reason prices stayed at N97-N87 per liter during her time was because...we had the dolalrs to import and subsidze the fuel at the same time. Now we do not...and now the decisions we made not to build new refineries has come back to haunt us.

4.Ask your heroes why at the end of their rule...they were still owing money to the marketers? That is why they refused to import...they were owing so much that they were in debt...and they still owe. Because....we no longer have the dollars to import since oil prices fell.

5.And is it now you are noticing we bought fuel at higher prices. I bought fuel at N102-110 during GEJ's time. I even know of people who bought fuel at N170 in Minna during GEJ time. And fuel in SE and SS was above N150 during GEJ's time. Indeed...it was only Lagos and Abuja that sold fuel at N97 during GEJ's time....in the very outskirts of ABuja.....fuel was sold as high as N140. during gej'S TIME.

6.What would solve this problem is ......removal of subsidy. But that would put prices of fuel above N150....the same price you are complaining about....but fuel would flow. You are complaining about high prices....and yet...you paradoxically do not want the actual solution to your problem....apart from five new refineries?

Nigeria needs at least 23 million extra liters per day...in addition to the new 17 million liters of fuel per day.Some even put it at 53 million extra liters per day!

Abeg...why apologize to someone who spent all the time in office doing nothing to solve the problem....and hiding the problem via massive dollar influx to import fuel to paper the cracks. Nigeria needs new refineries and removal of subsidy. Things that your new heroine did not do ...and before anyone calls me zombie....things that the new APC govt must do if they want to sort this issue out once and for all.

Nigerians....

In terms of hardship Deziani's tenure learning compared to Buhari's 8months old tenure

jeytee:


If you read what I just said, I never said dieziani performed I just said things weren't as bad which means they could have been much worse under her......kachikwu comes to me as a smart man but Nigerians need results not long speeches or interviews...what annoys people and me equally in this Buhari lead administration is their lack lustre and laid back approach to the problems of Nigerians,th st act like they're living in another country and look unbothered...as we speak I believe Mr Buhari is not on ground,osibanjo is all smiles but clueless,fashola is in the hot seat and looks frustrated,amaechi is busy chasing shadows and wike...I can go on bro but truth is Nigeria is in some deep ish...I hope we can swim ou r of this

SegunAdewole:
I am Taju an APCzombie from Osun. The woman thief our money wey Aregbe is supposed to pay us our salary. If not for that woman our state e for be N100 billion instead of N6 million today. No fuel, No food, No money. Make I shout sai baba?

tunisbaba:
E b lik say this guy don forget the person wey dey power when fuel scarcity caused banks, network operators and multi-national organizations to almost shut down operations immediately after the election.
This current scarcity situation never reach that level but i hope it would be resolved soonest. So make the guy tink well b4 apologizin to anybody...or Mayb he no dey Nigeria last year wen bank dey send message say dem want shut down. Se na Buhari dey power den

ahmadmuhammadmu:
My oga u too dey lie

Deen77:


To people like you who no nothing, if she can't build refinery for 5 years you want Buhari to build in a year.

Under this woman crude oil was $100/$140, no refinery she keep importing petroleum to run our economy, now crude is $26/$40 you want Buhari to perform miracle.

A German bank rate Nigeria as ZERO. We are starting from ZERO.

TheGoodJoe:


I just had this same discussion with my Younger Sister and she said the same thing. Baba is too slow.

I told her that we do not get it. Crude Oil sales have dropped and it might drop more if Iran starts pumping and selling in large quantities at a cheaper rate.

America is also drilling now. Sales have dropped.

We sold Crude Oil at exorbitant prices and sold Crude in large quantities. Things would never have looked bad in those conditions.

We only have one way out. International Support. That is why Baba is traveling around the globe.

From the traveling perspective, you will see he has not been slow.

We do not even have enough money to finance our budget.

Ibime:


Nigerians are fools. Leave them, they deserve their suffering.

They should keep wailing but just like Greece economy, even if they change Govt every 2 months, they cannot change the underlying economic condition. It doesn't matter if its APC, PDP or KOWA, the economic condition will remain the same.

An educated man will know to hold those truely responsible for his plight, but instead the Nigerian will be pining after the days of Diezani, GEJ and co like Israelites pining to go back to Egypt during the exodus. Fools who do not know the cause of why they are in the position they are in.

Right now Nigeria should have $180bln sitting in the ECA to weather the oil slump, but all the Nigerian knows to do is moan and pine for the people who shared their savings.

jeytee:



"From the travelling perspective he has not been slow"...I swear I like that statement...lol
Honestly sha this new administration for me just needs maybe a year to stabilise but the question is are Nigerians me inclusive that patient?...our blood is too hot...As America and Iran are already going solo and maybe eventually cut us off..I just can't imagine what would happen oh

There are to many on informed youths with assess to smart phones and data. Something should be done to raise our educational standards,. What we readread in these forums is very appalling to say the least , the youth has been reduced to praise singers fanatics for a loaf of bread .buhari is now your enemy but you voted him in , how easy do you think it is to turn and economy around especially after the monumental looting your fathers engaged in? You want corruption back ,selfish thief. Will you ever have kids? And what will you tell them.

persius555:
Op, god knows you are a blatant liar. Who in his or her right senses would apologise to a woman who supervised a ministry that never made crude oil refining a priority. A ministry that shortchanged the nigerian people.
Yes, this APC govt made unrealistic promises, but at least it has a economic roadmap that we can hold on to. If they fail to deliver, we vote them out.
Did PDP have any economic plan for the country? PDP was the biggest scam in africa, Alison madueke and her fellow economic rogues were rolling out fake and misleading figures about the economy. The economy of the country was expanding on paper, but in reality nigerians were getting poorer by the day. PDP's govt was feeding fat on the trillions of naira allocated to fight insurgency in the north. Security votes and budget in the last administration was the highest in the history of nigeria, yet no one bothered to procure 4th generation jets to counter the insurgency in the north.
The last administration of PDP/GEJ abandoned the NE, played politics with the chibok girls issue so much that some people still think their disappearance is a hoax or a political tool to witch hunt the administration. Is it not amazing that the war in the NE is been prosecuted with the arms that the last administration bought? Somebody in the administration was feeding fat on the crisis. It was up to the president and his cabinet to put an end to the war, but they were too busy playing politics. It will be unfair to PMB if nigerians dont appreciate and applaud his effectiveness in ending the war in the NE. I remeber a lot of nigerians condemning his decision to move the command to maiduguri. Today, that decision is paying off. As usual, we nigerians move on and pretend we never objected the move (typical nigerian).
The truth is that nigerians voted for APC not because APC had a political ideology that was appealing, but because they were fed up with PDP's lies and visible inefficiency.

I think there should be brain limit in some of this groups, you know,like under and over when it comes to sensible discuss of national political economic etc issues, because I think the sagging pant showing group are on the loose !

The perks Saudis receive:
Here are some of the perks Saudis receive:
-Heavily subsidized gas (It used to be 16 cents a liter. Now it's gone up to 24 cents.)
-Free health care
-Free schooling
-Subsidized water and electricity
-No income tax
-Public pensions
-Nearly 90% of Saudis are employed by the government
-Often higher pay for government jobs than private sector ones
-Unemployment benefits (started in 2011 in reaction to the Arab Spring)
-A "development fund" that provides interest-free loans to help families buy homes and start businesses.


We had a windfall of high Crude Oil Prices and high sales with nothing to show for it. Yet you guys want President Buhari to perform magic.

This is a global issue facing Oil Producing Countries. Even Saudi Arabia is seeking loans and they did not have the kind of wastage we faced Under past governments.

I don't really understand Nigerians, someone analysed the situation, gave facts about how bad the last administration was and what good this one has started doing but this intelligent comment got no likes or shares but all those dumb silly comments get loads of likes, it really says a lot about our thinking, our intelligent level, a lot of people are plain clueless, forget easily, thanks for this comment, I appreciate it standing out in a crowd of ignoramus who only dance to the current good music.
