MY COMMENT ON THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL

Disclaimer: This is my honest opinion. So I hope I won’t be crucified by my fellow angry Nigerians for airing my views #lolz#

Looking at the removal of fuel subsidy and its effect on average Nigerians, one would be so angry at this present government. So placing my emotions and unsatisfaction aside, I decided to look into what this fuel subsidy really means and entails. And at the end of the day, I came to a conclusion that the removal of fuel subsidy will actually do more good to Nigeria and Nigerians than harm. But how many Nigerians want to see it in that way. Even some who knows that the removal of the fuel subsidy is actually for our benefit would not want to agree in as much as they have never been in good terms with the current government.

Yes, when Jonathan tried removing it then, we all went nuts and form what was popularly known as #OccupyNigeria. If I can still recall vividly, for a whole week, cars were not allowed to move and tires were being burnt on usually busy commercial roads which even turned into a football pitch. The campaign was successful and Jonathan couldn’t go further with that decision anymore. So I really can’t stop but wonder why Nigerians are really keeping quiet on this one. The only places they have been venturing their anger is on social media.

Well I think, unlike the Jonathan led regime, Nigerians are now more informed and has begin to see that with the way Nigeria is going; fuel subsidy can be one of the best decisions to save this Country from its current crises (Only if you know what fuel subsidy really means though) Besides, during the past weeks, Nigerians have been used to buying a litre at 180,200 and even 250 per litre. So official price of 145# per litre should be manageable so far we wouldn’t have to queue for hours to get it.

So Mr President, I really do hope that the aim/reason for which the fuel subsidy was removed would be sincerely gained and at the end of the day make Nigerians smile again.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours. Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year, this, was, consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year. The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March, I woke up, looked into the mirror, told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed, sometimes, too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain, I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them ...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

2016 Review: Niyi Olu Emmanuel, 2016, The Blessings And Lessons So Far

My life has been a testimony as far back as I can remember. I've been through a lot in this little life I've lived so far. Facebook has been an escape world for me and I find strength in my God as I fought my way through in life. After failed attempts to graduate two (2) years back, (I spilled twice), I was discouraged and depressed, but my Jesus is ever sweet to me, I've had beautiful life in Christ Jesus. To HIM alone be all the glory. Hallelujah! Hmm! Facebook has afforded me the opportunity of meeting friends, beautiful ones at that. Alphagirl Anthony, a tiny voiced, long legged friend of mine, her crazy posts and character made my days most times as I laughed heartily, you're such a darling. Norberts Cindy, she was first my partner in attacking Rita then she became my Bae, she possess a good heart and "shy", (although I don't believe she's shy sha). I cherish you girl, (still waiting for my birthday post from you sha). Ujam Emmanuel is my g...
