Opinions: Stand of Nigerian Citizens About Fuel Subsidy Removal

[Jobbers]

Magnus Abe stated this ...."All this issue of subsidy is overblown. We were all here in this country when they told us that if they create television and radio stations Nigeria will scatter. The country will collapse. Today, there are private radio and television stations , very successful in that regard. They are giving voice to the voiceless, millions of Nigerians have jobs working in these private stations. And Nigeria is still here.

If you go to Ghana, there is no subsidy. They are doing business. They are living . We need to actually focus on what is important. We have this culture that everything is being shared; everything must be shared. Anything that looks as something is affecting your share, you go to war. Fossil fuel is a generational wealth. It is created from the bones of our ancestors. Is it right for one generation to take that resources, use it to buy petrol, shoes, for payment of their own salaries and go. What of future generation? This is a generational wealth; it doesn't belong to any one generation. What is our contribution? What are we creating? How are we paying our own bills. If we take oil money and pay our recurrent and die off, what happens to the children who are coming?

If you look at England, England was a very small country but with the opportunity they had they created an infrastructural base in maritime, conquered the world and created a financial base for their country that has outlasted all those other opportunities. They could have eaten all those things that time and left the place derelict and these other children would be like us struggling the way we are struggling. But their fathers didn't do that.
The whole conversation about fuel subsidy to me is overblown .

We need to actually look at what direction this country is heading toward. This is not a productive society. We are not producing anything. We are not creating wealth, we are sharing everything. Every position is being given to people on the basis of what to share. Anything that will affect sharing is qoutarized and becomes a problem. How can you grow a country like that? And nobody is concerned about it.

The current budget that we did is not N4 trillion. How much is that in dollars? What is the budget of Harvard University? And we have a population of 160 million people. Are we thinking? I don't know where we are headed. I don't know what people feel, I don't know what they are thinking about, but I think this is a country that needs to sit up. If you have a country of 160 million people, you don't run it as if you are running a country of 30million people . You can't share every thing. You must create wealth."

"The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, is a medical doctor. He, like every other minister in the President Goodluck Jonathan cabinet, has been drafted as a foot soldier to defend the government's oil subsidy removal policy. In the course of doing that, he has been giving reasons why government removed the subsidy without proper consultation with the people it claims to represent. While defending the policy, Chukwu assured Nigerians that the Jonathan administration was also working on palliatives. But when he was asked, as a medical doctor, which one comes first: operating on a patient first or administering painkillers before performing the surgery, Chukwu kept mum. It was a question that suddenly turned the minister, described as a brilliant scholar, into a stammerer"
