FUEL SUBSIDY A MOUNTAIN-CLIMBING VENTURE

       FUEL SUBSIDY A MOUNTAIN-CLIMBING VENTURE

I am calling on the president and commander- in- chief  of federal republic of Nigeria, Dr.Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, not to allow some greedy Nigerians to advise him wrongly to stick to the removal of oil subsidy.

Should he refuse to listen to the voice of reason crying from the wilderness  not to remove the subsidy, this may lead to crisis in Nigeria, which those in government could not contain.

What any sensible government could do in things like this is to hold wide consultation and feel the purse of the people before embarking in such destructive venture .

The president should be aware of this that those of them that are advising him to remove petroleum subsidy, are enemies of the people. They will be the first to run away to another country when the crisis of this removal subsidy begin.

Mr. President you have no excuse to give if you fail on this because the bulk stops at your table, you must take responsibility of failure of your government.

Ignorance is not an excuse to law. If one goes contrary to the law he faces the consequences.

Instead of your  government embarking on this fruitless journey, I will advise you to urgently refurbish  the four refineries in the country, so that they would stop this senseless  importation of fuel from foreign countries.

We all know that the importation of fuel is as a result of corruption, the cabal  who w’re milking the country dry will not let go such opportunity or allow it, to slip their way.

Prices are determined by market forces, but here in Nigeria once prices has gone up it hardly come down. Nigerians must enjoy subsidy, if in the actual sense this subsidy has been effectively carried out all  this years.

A regrettable danger is around the corner if this government insist in the proposal of oil subsidy, it will negatively affect the masses of this country, this will aggravate the sufferings of the so called common man instead of alleviating it.

It is going to carry chain effect, other products, services inclusive will be unimaginable.

This government should concentrate on addressing the welfare of the people, and take more interest on the poor state of infrastructure, with the resources from the excess crude oil revenue.

From all indication corruption is the only thing that is militating against the working of the refineries. If the government themselves are not corrupt  they would have blocked the loopholes where funds are looted. 

If the effectively block all the loopholes there will be no need to talk about removal of subsidy.
