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.
My brother no matter how we take shout for this our country head them go still do waiting them go do, since I was born I never experience the kind of subsidy before, this one take time oh, this subsidy matter come make country be like one village place, I no even understand naija again since all this thing's start, since this subsidy matter start I Don see many people Don drop their car, they no won drive car again because of the price of the fuel, even to travel now don become big thing, and even for this Xmas I no sure say people go travel go their village's oh because some people go talk say instead of using that kind big money travel make them used am chop for house.
And about palliative, my brother E even better make they no share na nonsense they call rice and all that stupid things they call food stuff, food wey no reach everybody house, some local government no even see the good because the workers share the stuff and they are now sharing corn about instead of rice wey government bring and no be everybody still get the corn, thank God say them no bring am come my house I for chase them commot, because I no dey wait for government before I chop.
