How it was implemented is the issue, the rug was pulled without a cushion laid out. Now imagine Obi went about it as he said he would.

Infact imagine Tinubu had discussed it in detail in a presidential debate against obi grin grin

Obi is talking from a very unprofessional point of view lacking in insight to be honest.

Mr professional professor, what have you achieved in life that qualifies you to label someone's plan unprofessional?
Have you been a bank chairman before? Chairman of SEC? A governor?

So if you support local refinery, they will now sell petrol at #400 after subsidy removal?

Do you know Nigeria have to agree to sell at international crude price? So if those refineries get crude at they certain amount, after additional cost of refining, will Obi pay them to sell below the price they got it?

The difference between Obi and Tinubu is that Obi is a weakling and a deceiver who prey on Nigerians emotion by lying to them continuously to seem like a saint.

The mumu want to reduce subsidy by 50%, is that not still Subsidy? Buhari did the same thing by reducing subsidy a bit, that was why Petrol was up a bit from the #87 price. Did that solve Nigeria problem?

Obi is lucky, his base of Obidient are bunch of unintelligent mob. So anything he says is taken as the word of some tin god.

No amount of palliative handouts from FG in the world can cater for 200+ million Nigerians such that everyone will be happy when the price is almost 3x increase. If you like increase it after 2 years of prepping Nigeria, the moment you pull the plugs, they are on the street protesting.

The best palliative is for the government to fix roads, education, hospitals, electricity, agriculture and general standard of living so Nigerians won’t depend on hand to mouth.

Apart from the political talk, you're technically correct in the fact that full removal means opening it up to the market force

It is no longer the government's role in determining the price
Re: Why're People Upset About The Fuel Price Increase? by Davidtalo121: 1:25pm On Jul 19, 2023
That's why it's called fuel subsidy removal. If people want to protest, they ought to direct the anger at private companies not the government
