Subsidy
removal a political plot by the invisible hands from the North and
the South west by Obasanjo groups to prove that the South South and
the South East are not capable to rule the Country. If not why didn't
Yar'Adua and Obasanjo removed the fuel subsidy during their regime?.
Jonathan is a disgrace to the South South and the South East. if his
government fall, the Niger delta militant should not blame any body.
you can not remove the fuel subsidy without first put all the
refineries in a good condition. To tell you how our so-called leader s reason,
could you imagine in a Country where the minimum wage is 18,000 and
the government want people to buy a liter of fuel at the price of
140-200 Niara per a liter.
Okonjo Iwuala is trying to compare Nigeria with the Western
World where the price of the fuel is 1 euro or 1.50 euro per a liter
which is 200- 300 Niara. Without knowing that the minimum wages in
some of these Countries is 1000 dollars or more. Without asking how
much is the minimum wages in those Countries? And how easily is to
secure a job in those Country? That is to tell you that our
government do not care about her citizens.
I have read on the news
paper about how president Good-luck Jonathan had justified his action
on the subsidy removal by saying that “ that
it was dangerous for the government to continue to use one third of
its budget to support fuel subsidy. It said the country was sitting
on a time bomb with its N5 trillion debt profile, using N500 billion
to service the debt and borrowing its entire capital budget, warning
the economy would not only collapse but companies would be forced to
cut workforce”.
Theses is an ill explanation,.
The same president budgeted 1 billion Niara for his food allowance, I
wonder what he will be eating. And to pay for fuel subsidy is a
problem to him. We need to say no to all these, enough is enough.
Take a look at the Countries with the highest debt. The United State
of American debt stood at 13.98 trillion dollars. The United
Kingdom's debt stood at 8.981 trillion dollars. German debt stood at
4.713 trillion. And many more. And our so-called president is
claiming that our debt stood at 5 trillion Niara not dollars. And these is the
reason to inflict pains to Nigerian. ill explanation.
If I should
advice Mr president that if he want to remove the so-called fuel
subsidy, he should first put all the refineries in a good condition
to meet the local demand, and secondly put our transportation system
in a good condition then if he bring the issue of fuel subsidy
removal no one will care about that or no body will protest against
his action. How could our so-called government are tormenting his
people, and inflicting pains by exporting fuel and importing them
back. This is an evidence of lack of competent and corruption.
One of
my professor in European History said that, the difference between Africa and the Western
World is that the West often buy their row material very cheap,
refined it or use it to produce something and sell it back to them
in a higher price. And these is what is happening in Nigeria, because
we produce crude oil, we export them to refine it and import it back.
Is this not
crazy and a lack of leadership and an act of corruption. The above
mentioned Countries borrowed to put things in order and that made
these Countries to be attractive and made every body want to live or
travel to these over mentioned Countries. So it will not be a bad idea if
our so-called leaders often borrowed money to fix the Country. But
our problem is when they borrow money, that money remains in their
private pocket without using the money to do the things that they
borrowed if for. enough is enough.
