IF GEJ COMES BACK TODAY AND REMOVE SUBSIDY, PEOPLE WILL STILL PROTEST. ITS JUST ABOUT TRUST. WHO WILL TRUST A MAN WHO BELIEVED "STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION"? WHO WILL TRUST AN INCOMPETENT,INEFFECTUAL BUFFON WHO WAITED MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER BEING TOLD 300 OF HIS COMPATRIOTS GIRLS ARE KIDNAPPED BEFORE TAKING ACTION?

This is the number one reason for the suffering of the masses and its not too late for NLC to retrace its step .
NLC is yet to ask State Governors what they did with bailout money meant for salaries. eg Osun, Ekiti, Bayelsa, Imo etc
Many states are owing up to 5 months yet NLC is silence.
Many states cannot pay common minimum wage yet NLC did not talk
Since NLC makes billions of Naira from salary deductions and have invested in mass transit buses why cant they venture into importing and selling of petroleum product at a lower rate to Nigerians or build Mega stations ?
Cant NLC also venture into building refineries ?
What roles have NLC played in assisting the unemployed ?
What role has NLC played to bring to parity diverse wage disparity between political office holders and the common man ?

I am suprised I have not read that it is because Buhari hates the igbos, and that is the reason he removed the subsidy. According to them, all his actions so far is due to his hatred to igbos.

Wait ooo I don't understand. The VP and information minister have said that there was no subsidy removal but just an increase in price because of scarcity of forex and the country`s is broke. So I don't get why ppl are supporting subsidy removal when the govt has said otherwise.

Secondly, I don't believe that for any reason whatsoever that the price of fuel shd be 145. Its unfair. Y must the ordinary man always be at the receiving end? If the country is broke, the first step is to cut down on excessive spending like the largesse that the legislators take home, unnecessary trips etc

U increase electricity tarriff and there's no light and these power firms still charge exorbitant prices. I believe the govt is irrational and insensitive.

Ps I supported buhari in the last election.

WHY NIGERIANS WONT OCCUPY NIGERIA AS FUEL SUBSIDY IS REMOVED

Yesterday, the Internet was awashed with news of the Federal Government's removal of subsidy on premium motor spirit also known as fuel. This news came as a shocker to Nigerians and as a reason for some group of people (THE WAILING WAILERS) who does not want to move on with their life after the 2015 Presidential elections to justify their support for then President Goodluck Jonathan. Later that same day, the Government through its Minister for State for Petroleum released a statement that seems to not affirm or deny the news of subsidy removal.

Unlike the previous Government where Nigerians came out in mass to protest against subsidy removal, many Nigerians will not protest this one or only a few disgruntled elements who sees everything as politics or attach ethnic coloration to everything will do so. Below are some of the reasons why There would be no protest.

1. DUE CONSULTATIONS: Going by the statement released by the Minister for State for Petroleum Dr. Ibe Kachickukwu, the TUC, NLC and other stakeholders in Nigeria were duly consulted before taking this decision. Forget the threat by NLC they just want to make it look like they 've not failed Nigerians. The question is were they not represented in the meeting? What is their take on Saraki still occupying The Senate Presidency? What is their take on most of our universities on strike etc. Why is it that NLC only knows how to cry when it involves oil?

2. SINCERITY: Even the President's worst enemy knows he means well for Nigeria. They know whatever decision he takes is for the overall good of every Nigerian. Many will ask if the previous Government never meant well for the country? The answer lies on the characters and personalities of the two leaders and their stance on corruption and mismanagement. Many believed the former's Petroleum minister was corruption personified who said she was untouchable while the later is a man of proven integrity who will make judicious use of the proceeds from subsidy removal.

3. TACTFULNESS: Even till this moment, no one can say for sure that Petroleum subsidy has been removed. The government in their wisdom wants to go about it in the best possible ways as not to generate public outcry on the issue. The statement by the Minister proved that. The government knows the implications of removing fuel subsidy and has deviced the best possible ways out of it. Unlike the previous Government who woke up on January 1st when most Nigerians were still returning from Christmas and New year Celebrations and announced fuel subsidy removal.

4. FAITH IN THIS GOVERNMENT: Believe it or not there is an overwhelming belief in this Government. I dare anyone to conduct a sincere public opinion poll on their perception of this Government and you will be shocked on the percentage that will affirm their support for this Government. Forget some of the comments by some nitwits online who does not have grasp of economic issues and present economic woes but do so out of religious or ethnic sentiments that has kept them where they are. Most Prominent Nigerians are sympathetic to this Government this may be connected to their belief that this Government is still in its nascent stage and it's meaningless criticizing it this early.

5. UNCONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION: The present opposition in Nigeria are headless, directionless and has no moral right to criticize or call for civil disobedience because it's not in their modus operandi and has failed woefully when they were there. The present opposition led by uncouth, crass and crude Ayodele Fayose only flex their muscles when its religious and ethnic issues. Recently, the one who might have seen the issue as only affecting the South East or Christians just to create chaos in the land is answering to his involvement in money meant for arms purchase that was traced to his account. The other one who claims to be their media aide is busy looking for who to fight in the nearest night club tonight or spreading false news.

DIFFERENTIAL OIL PRICES: In 2012, When the previous administration removed fuel subsidy oil price was on the high side. Global oil market sold for over $90 per barrel as at January of that same year while today oil price is very much below $50. The powers that be made minimal or no significant impact on the lives of Nigerians in the mist of plenty why won't they be able to pay for Petroleum subsidy hence the occupy Nigeria during that time. Today, Sane Nigerians would wonder why they should involve themselves in meaningless protest when the current global oil price is nothing to write home about.

When I see posts like this I weep for the educational sector. @ OP You are simply yet another APC propagandist paid to misinform gullible Nigerians like you aka zombies. Ibe kachukwu came out clearly to state that no subsidy was removed only that the fuel price was recalculated based on 285 to $1 as against 199 before. Why are you coming out to spread this myopic and biased trash? To imagine calling yourself public affairs commentator. It is obvious you did not pass WAEC

The only difference was unwarranted hatred that induced absolute antagonism/resentment coupled with sophisticated bigotry.

And you didn't know that the election in the SW was landslide in favor of Jonathan. One of the reasons he won was because he had over 90% vote in the SW. So why the sudden hatred like you claimed. Maybe he did something wrong for them to hate him that much. And its not just the SW alone. What did he do wrong for. Nigerians to suddenly turn on him.

This is the stupidest and the most sufferhead- oriented piece of writing I've read this year

Please Princewill or what do u call urself,keep ur foolishhh thoughts to urself.

Do you know why most people are not fighting or protesting like before, People are tired

That we are Tired doesn't mean we are happy about the present state of the country.

Sorry to say but this new government has only made things even worse

Mention that good thing that has happened since they started and mention that good that seems likely to happen

People are just tired and they saw that they will still be the ones to suffer if they protest

So don't start some stupidddd propaganda here and think ur idea is welcome

The reason buhari has not made any public statement is because what happened is price hike. For goodness sake Nigerians should be wise! There is a saying that "once beaten twice .." In a few months time when you guys realise the truth and decide to hold PMB responsible, what you will be asked is to provide a video or any newspaper where Buhari said anything about subsidy removal, they will then begin to make reference to Osibanjo's statement.

Do you really think Osibanjo would have made that statement if it was a lie?
