The Sudden and Scandalous Increase Of Pump Price of Fuel by the Nigerian Government



Here we are today 1st January 2012, 141 naira per litre, calm down, it is not the official pump price of our domestic water. Be glad that you and I were not part of the people that hypocritically aided and abetted the monstrous PDP in causing Nigerians to go through this hardship, and the most wicked economic measures awaiting us, worst than the unpopular IBB SAP. How I wish for the saying that "No one injures me with Impunity" holds even with respect to those in power, unpropitious we are, for it cannot be the case with those in Authority. Even after the outcry of the helpless masses against the incessant influence and sharpening our economic drivers by the western powers, solely for the for their business interest to prosper in west Africa.

In this New year message, what Nigerians will never forget is operationalizing the removal Fuel subsidy, via The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) which has already describe it as something that has come to stay due to the extensive consultation with stakeholders across the nation. One wonders knowing any stakeholder of Subsidy more than those intended for, the masses. Few of his apologist are still pleading for Nigerians to give him chance and see what he is going to achieve with the money saved from the subsidy. But to many of his appolgist, GEJ could no longer be regarded as one that would accomplished his promises, because he has already prove himself contrary to what they thought of him. The plea by the economic team leader, Mrs Ngozi Iweala assuring Nigerians that the funds saved from the fuel would be used for the development of the pressing social and infrastructural facilities. But the question is that what have they done, and what are they going to do with the fund that were gotten and those would be?

At least for a moment, one may choose sympathizing with GEJ, what do you think? Does he have any option other than heeding to the calls and yearnings of his masters? He has to if only he want them to go well with him. I now see the reason why even a totalitarian regime of Late Sani Abacha (of blessed memory, hitherto not!) chooses to boycott and resist any form of infiltration of this thistle of imperialist to becoming the architects of our economic growth. With this sort of economic policies' road map, I think the government are from bringing an end to the plight of Nigerians impecuniously living under vast resources. Blahs, I would have to still vote for and stay under the proletariat of our colonial masters than being directly under the masters themselves. Thanks to all GEJ apologist for visionary and sentimentally putting ethnicity before competency and patriotism, Sey na na like this we go de dey, Fresh Air continua Ascerta!
