L-O-O-K, I am against it for the following reasons;
1. them sanusis, okonjos and diezanis have not told us how many official jeeps, jaguas, lexus they parade without fuelling any with a single kobo from their pockets. They all do this from my tax, your tax.
2. They have not told us who chosed to subsidised the pump price whereas that huge money could have repaired the refineries, built two additional and the vandalised pipes line
3. They have not told us why the President and his Vice would take #1.0 billion naira as feeding pocket money for their families.
4. They have not told us why for 12 years running the refinries are still dead.
5.they refuse to tell us how much has been made since subsidy was remove from AGO (diesel) and Kerosine.
These and many more are begging for answers. So, for me there has never be subsidy. If the Govenment tells Nigerias it wants toincrease pump price, I think that will be reasonable to listen to.

this is a different issue with what they did in the telecommunication sector.what they are saying here is that they will remove the money that the government is putting into the oil sector to cussion or reduce what they call the landing cost,refinery cost since they were refined abroad,the cost of price of crude oil in the international market,the bridged cost and etc on the masses. i can not recall all the big grammars they used in trying confuse us so that they will loot our treasury once this time around.this people do not mean well for me and you"none of this agents of subsidy removal buy fuel with their money or even from the public filling stations where we buy ours from. if they are sincere with themselves the let them build the refineries here,make it function at full capacity and then the subsidy would remove itself without even them telling us all this trash. i have never heard or seen any country that have crude oil that refined or import their fuel product from abroad. they said that cost of fuel per liter after all the expensive is about 110 to 120 naira and it is because they subsidysed it that we can be able to get it at the rate of 65 naira" which means that if the subsidy is removed then we should be buying fuel at the rate of 110 to 120 naira and above.  Argentina do not have a crude oil and yet they have a functioning refinery where they refine all the fuel they use in their country.OBJ and even all the past millitary presidents we have had never increased fuel to that price because that is what is likely to happen after the subsidy is removed. why the importation of fuel for goodness sake?. there are hundred of Argentines,Phillipines and even Moroccans engineers working in the oil companies in Nigeria even when they do not have oil.  it is a shame

we also need them also to tell us why they are more serious of this subsidy removal than our national security and why our refinery can not work. they also owe us an explanation as to why we are still buying cement at the rate of almost 20 dollars while cement is cheaper than a bottle of beer in some other countries.

I DONT SUPPORT IT
SEE THEM FLYINY THE KITE OF 'IF WE CONTINUE WITH SUBSIDY, THE NATION ECONOMY WOULD CRASH'
THEY SHOULD START WITH THEMSELVES FIRST
THEY SHOULD CUT THEIR SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES BY 50%
THEY SHOULD START PAYING FOR THE FUEL THEY USE
THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT IS THE MOST SUBSIDIZED GOVT IN THE WORLD, THEY PAY FOR ALMOST NOTHING
THEY SHOULD GET OUR REFINERIES WORKING
UNTIL THAT IS DONE, THEY SHOULD NOT TOUCH FUEL SUBSIDY

If it is inevitable that the Federal Government of Nigeria must remove fuel subsidy, they must first and foremost lead by example. Let them reduce the number of cars in their convoys such that the President wont have more than six cars and Governors three. Let them abolish the office of First Lady of the Nation and that of the states and any programmes the wives want to embark upon should be from their individual purses not from the state covers.
Let the President sponsor a bill as a matter of urgency in the National Assemble that will change the current constitutional provision of one minister from each state of the federation to at just between two or three ministers form each of the geopolitical zones of the nation to be followed by a restructuring of the ministerial posts such that for example, Youth, Sports and Tourism can be one ministry; Transport and Aviation one Ministry, Works and Housing one ministry etc because in actual facts, it is the civil service that does the job not the Ministeers. The Ministers are just in office mostly as a compensation for roles played during electioneering or as a compensation for an old boy or old girl (whatever that means). What do we see after a FEC Meeting? Individuals who are merely satisfied with the photo-shots that will come after the meeting (not the contributions they made or value added). no. just let my townspeople/old school mates see their own in national dailies as one of the "choppers" of our collective wealth.
Let there be a sincere and thorough investigation of the Petroleum Ministry and her agencies from 1999 to date and bring all culprits who may be indicted to justice. This is imperative considering how much we are told has been sunk into "Turn-Around Maintenance" and yet we import close to 80% of our fuel consumption in the nation.
If Government can do all of these between January and September, then they can go ahead and remove the subsidy by the last quarter of 2012.
thanks.

I am for and against it at the same time. This means, according to my view, the subsidy should be removed and be left at the same time. Do not ask me that question again because I am pretty sure this is our ow making not anybody's. Majority voted for this man and they are responsible for whatever befall this country. I REST MY CASE HERE.

I am for it.  However, the fuel subsidy removal could have been introduced gradually and not so abrupt as it was done by GEJ and his co kabals. The fuel price could have been raised to 100 naira initially instead of 141 as it is now. I pray for peace in Naija....
