In my own candid opinion, I disagree with this so called fuel subsidy removal. Standard of living was better during the era of fuel subsidy. It was better when public funds were misappropriated and Embezzled. Let them eat the money and allow us to buy fuel at a subsidized rate.
Imagine since the inception of this subsidy removal dating from 29th of may 2023, I have been unable to run my power generating set (generator) due to high cost of fueling. I now buy Ice block to cool my drinks since I can't use generator to power my refrigerator In my local grocery store.
The one that shock me again is that port Harcourt to owerri I used to pay a total fare #1,500 from my residence to mbaitoli in owerri, I now paid a total amount #11,000. This is disheartening.
When I fuel my motorcycle with #1000 just to go and buy something, I can't use that fuel for the next day because I will be having empty tank. My church generator always shuts down during service since we can't afford sufficient fuel.
The one that anger me the most is that, the so called palliative which was meant to cushion the effect of the subsidy was not evenly distributed, what got to my locality was one cup of rice for one person, I learnt that two bags of rice was given to our chief, he reserved one bag for him and his family and then share one bag to the whole community he also had share from this one bag meant for the community for himself again as though he has collected before. Just the same way he reserved one for himself I know that is how everybody that had come in contact from that top(federal) had been stealing, hiding and reserving for themselves. What a country.
This fuel subsidy matter still dey bother you? Ever since the day our president talk say he want to remove fuel subsidy, i know this is how we go take buy fuel through out this year, if next year reach we go dey look how they will take do about it, anything wey this government try to do, we no get choice than to follow am, even though we take shout say we no gree over what they are plan to do nothing go change am, to me most of leadership just dey fool us since we get new president for this country i never i hear any good news, all have been hearing everybody dey complain that economy is getting hard, i never see any positive changes from them, about this fuel wey cost so no be everybody take remember when he/she take travel last last, even this christmas no be everybody go travel back to their village as fuel don cost, no be everybody go fit carry their family say they should travel back to the village.
I dont know waiting this government take carry us sef, this palliative of a thing, una even see rice for una side, as rice don cost now, for my community, we just see one spag for one house and no be say each house received am o, some people sef vex say them no want, as your cheif take carry one bag of rice take share one for una, that's how all this leaders have been doing, if anything enter their hand they will remove their share before given out the remain one, only God knows how many bags of rice was given before two bag go reach una community.
