I so much appreciate the effort and the brilliancy of the NLC president. I would like to ask the government why should the supposed money that has always been paid as subsidy be diverted into education sector revamp and others? What would be the hope of our already dead refineries? Would Nigeria still continue to refine crude abroad? For how long? I dont think this government is working in her right thinking mind. I really hope that this current administration would sit and brainstorm on how to get our refineries working rather than depending on Dangote refinery alone. Having said that, there ought to have been provisions to cushion the effect of this sudden pain and agony that was brought on the poor people of the society on the first day of a new administration. Transport vehichles for government workers for all parastatals must have been put in place and those vehicles owned by the govt like the BRT buses should have their fares either maintained or slashed by 50 percent at least, including that of the Railways and inter state transports. I just hope this hardship won't get much more than this in few days.
He is intelligent in deceiving the Nigerian people. He is for the cabal that are making all the money from the subsidy. Every time the naira depretiates, Nigeria has to pay more for subsidies. Nigeria now spends 95% of its income on paying debts because of the massive subsidy. The country will collapse if we carry on like this and the poorest would suffer the most then. NLC says what people want to hear but does what is not good for the people. NLC is in bed with the cabals in government. Make no mistake about it.
7:26 Remember, we were here 2011... Yes, we also remember that Oshiomole was once on the other side of the isle "fighting" for the masses in the NLC camp but ironically is pictured here on camera on the opposing side and we are still where we are in 2007 just recycling the same set of leaders. At some point we have to question ourselves as a people. These leaders didn't just fall out of the sky, they came from somewhere, from among the people/constituents themselves. Perhaps the real issue here is the kind of subset of followership from where these leaders emerge.
I not only understand you, I also agree with you. But here, when we make choices and those choices are not allowed to stand and we're not allowed to take laws into our hands, the result is what you get: they keep themselves recycled at our expense and our detriment.
@@Mr_noek 1.) Think of it this way: At the primaries, these leaders are selected, right? Okay, those delegates themselves, from among whom do they come from? Isn't it the constituents at the ward level?
@@Mr_noek 2.) Next, what about at the ward level, who make up the local leadership? Isn't that comprised of the people themselves? Don't those people come from families, from all works of life? From all tribes and tongues?
@@Mr_noek 3.) Okay, let's go down to the family unit: Imagine a situation where a son or daughter who is supposedly a FULL-TIME student at the Uni, comes back home with a smashing ride and the parents can't question the source of how that car came about, isn't that the origin of corruption at the family level? Now, when those same set of young people get elected in the community/ward/LGA/State/Federal level... isn't it their peers who vote for them? How do you expect they will handle the economy when they clinge the seat of power? Is it going to be with integrity?
Three refineries and yet none is working. Dangote has built just “one” where we can now refine our crude. In a country where prices go up and never come down, and salaries remain the same.
God bless you sir,Mr Joe Ajaero,we need more of you in power,your speech shows you were so concern about the effect of the change in price without considering the people or making provision for there convenience .
Thank you sir if they will listen to you .they don't have the masses in their mind ,removing subsidy without plan.

@@taiwoalimi4748 speaking from both sides of your mouth, Tinubu has not remove subsidy but he said subsidy is gone.

@@ebukamark1237 Yes, let us allow the government to continue stealing from us to pay for subsidies. The only people who really benefit from subsidies are those at the top who the subsidy money go to. Subsidy only makes living easier in the short term, it is a cancer that eat at the common man leaving him with nothing at the end. If Nigerians had any sense left we would stop asking for government handouts, which only give them more power.
You don't understand what is going on, removing the subsidy is the best, think of this, allocation for subsidy being more than allocation for education and health combined, check it na
@@israelopeyemi903 Since Govt partially removed subsidy, what has been done with the funds? Now you want me to belive that Govt will account for full subsidy removal under B.A.T? Hahahahaha!
This NLC does not understand the primary issues of petroleum subsidies. The negotiations will be difficult. Nigeria has kept on kicking the can along the road starting from the time the refineries stopped working.
Whether you voted for Tinubu or Obi or Atiku, fuel subsidy as to go. It was not benefitting to majority of Nigerians. it is only benefitting importers who made life harder for Nigerians at any time before this decision. For instance, December 2023 to February 2023, there was no fuel supply and people were suffered due to the importers' decisions. This is the time to nail it. Spending $10 Bln on few people is a sham. The masses were eating the crumbles and the same time suffered or die in the quest of fueling their vehicles during fuel scarcities. Now, you can hold your leader accountable since there won't be any excuses as regarding the infrastructure and creation of jobs for the youths. Also, the minimum wage must be increased to tally with the removal of the subsidy.
If this is the time what happened in 2011 when Jonathan removed? Was it the wrong time. The same people who went on the streets is now swallowing there tongue.
It's interesting that the Nigerian approach is to administer treatment after death! You make a decision to implement a policy that will have such a severe impact on the masses and you're having meetings on how to make it better while people are already suffering! What happened to planning, strategizing, testing and gradual implementation? When medication is administered, you are advised not to take everything at once... That act is called overdosing! The country has been living with subsidy for a long time now, imagine the decision was rather to sensitize the masses on the negative impact of the subsidy and gradually bring down the percentage, say over a 1-2 year period until its completely removed, (rather than this about 300% overnight shock increase!?). While critically brainstorming on Strategies to help the masses survive. Would anyone have died if such an approach was made????
Err... In case you don't know, he is part of them... they are birds of a feather. Don't fall for their tricks. Oshiomole said more than this during his time as NLC chief in the name of "fighting" for the masses. But where is he today? On the other side of the isle.
Said what all? This clueless man thinks subsidy has ended as of today but he's dragging government. He's also insisting subsidy should be restored and govt should find ways to tax people to pay subsidy. If that happens, he's come out again so start crying. You people don't know what you want yet
I believe the government will use the money that will accrue from the removal to construct inter state electric railways and intra state government transportation.
Awon eleribu. They sponsored protests paid KWAM1 to play for free for protesters at Ojota in 2011, 2012, they told Nigerians to reject subsidy removal. Then our min. wage was N18k equivalent of $90, today min wage is N30k equivalent of $40. All they have for Nigerians is suffering and hardships. How do you expect a graduate who teaches in a Lagos private school (on a salary of 25k )to survive ? Now inflation is likely to move up from 22% to like 44%
Yes we know the meaning of deregulation. The price will keep going up because Nigeria is not producing fuel. Let the Refineries start working so marketer can purchase fuel in local currency and then the price will be determined by market forces . let there be mass transportation to control transport fares and manage the current inflation.
Pls NLC should not relent in ensuring that this policy is scrabbed otherwise it will inflict more injuries on the people. We have suffered much in the hands of this APC government
So you support subsidy that is marking FG to take huge loan and the same type of you are complaining that FG is taking too much loan. Can't leave hatred and emotions and say a single fact. Yes I agree there must be plan but TINUBU has never removed subsidy he ONLY said that it is GONE.
Federal government should give more licences to Nigerians to build more refinery. DANGOTE REFINERY IS NOT ENOUGH, IT WILL CAUSE MONOPOLY. TINUBU HAS OANDO WITH THIS COUSIN AS THE LARGEST SHARE HOLDER...
Define what you mean by being mischievous, or you are typing a word because it sounds good to your ear. What the NLC and TUC president said was apt and spot on. It is only in Nigeria that leaders just climb the podium and make reckless statements without adequate consultation. You don't just get excited about the new position and begin to talk recklessly; you need to calm down, could properly and then organise a press briefing with the appropriate agencies representatives and then collectively make the pronouncement after it has been agreed upon by all parties.
Agbadonians console themselves by saying Obi is also anti-subsidy. First, Obi will not remove subsidy without consultation, planning, alternatives, or palliatives. Second, Obi will not embezzle the money realized from subsidy removal (which Thiefnubu and his gang will definitely steal). Third, Obi won by a landslide so he will enjoy much more public sympathy. NOTE: Some Yoruba tribal bigots do not realize that the imposition of Tinubu (as Mr Yakubu’s Pestilence-select of Nigeria) is actually the lowest point for the Yoruba. A certified drug baron, grand-thief of public funds and murderer of his opponents (both real and imagined) who threw the Christians under the bus has now crowned his kleptomaniac career by stealing another’s mandate. He stole it by maiming, manipulations, intimidation, thuggery, killing, ballot box snatching; etc. It is fools who glory in their shame. “Tinubu’s entire life can be summarized in one sentence: He used drug money to buy Lagos State; now he is trying to use Lagos State money to buy Nigeria” - Seun Osewa (Owner of Nairaland). Yoruba ronu!

They have started with their endless and fruitless meetings where sitting allowances are paid to them, elbows are greased and the situations remain the same.
I have to agree with Labour here. Somebody is definitely lying. Subsidy is the only thing the Nigerian people enjoy from the government. Subsidy exist because of government mismanagement. Should the citizen pay for their mismanagement ? Shouldn’t this refineries have been sold a long time ago to private parties like it is in other part of the world.
The new president had made it clearer that no matter how long protest would last, he will removed gas subsidy. So, why are wasting workers monthly deduction for paying hotels bills and travelling bogus allowances?
Look at people telling Nigerian to have hope for a better Nigeria, the same people from 1999 that corrupt the mother Nigeria, i pity labour chairman for allowing this people to foul him.
How does the price of crude going up and the price coming down, aftect the nigeria people. The last time i checked we have crude in this country. U live near the river and u r saying u r thirsty- who do una this thing- i really dont understand.
Adams Oshiomole used to be like this 20 years ago fighting for the masses. But now, he is doing the opposite. Fighting against the masses for his pocket. Keep fighting NLC. The government should do the right thing else, we shutdown as we did in January 2012
Elenunla 😂 will ensure talks are on-going until they have chopped what the previous gov budgeted for it until June ending while you pay the new price 😮
@@theblxckstoic_ So, where will a country long in huge deficits get money to reactivate her refineries? Besides, I remember Buhari came with the zeal to repair them but under the former minister in his first tenure, they were advising against going forward bacauses of sabotage culture that crippled them in the first instance. But at least, PH refinery is on its way to live. And I think another one too
@@247BRIDGE stop making excuses for inept leaders, you are part of the problem. Buhari had 8 years to make already existing refineries function. It took Dangote 7 years to build a refinery from scratch. Buhari and APC took Nigeria 20 years back. Facts do not care about your feelings.
They even brought oshiomole to come and prevail or form boss over Joe Ajaero and TUC president,but you shall all fail, And we all love NLC presidents stand.
If the removal of subsidy won't favour Politicians they won't consider it at all. They're all criminals. Why can't Tinubu deal with insecurity, killings, poverty on his first day in office.?
ADVISE FOR LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR: 1) Install gas stations for BRT buses and pipe gas straight to the stations same way industries now get gas. 2)Begin the conversion of existing buses from petrol consumption to gas. 3) Put your tribal bigotry aside and negotiate with Innocent Chukwuma of IVM and buy new buses that uses natural gas. That way BRT buses can be operated cheaper to serve the masses. Same can be replecated in our capital cities to help the masses. A sensible FG will subsidise conversion to gas usage for logistics operators especially for those moving food items. FG also need to install gas stations across the nation so that transpoerters can have a choice.
Clearly NLC and TUC are corrupted and want to keep subsidy that mostly benefit the elites of the nation. These leaders need to be removed by the Obidients. Imagine asking for a return to the status quo, not even saying lets find a way to adjust so poorest suffer the least from it. NLCnad TUC argument is why Subsidy has not be removed till date and has left Nigeria at the brik of collapse.
It should now be clear to everybody that this so called union leaders are fighting for themselves and not for Nigeria. They are the one enjoying the subsidy and do not want to let go and so Nigeria Should be very careful with them. They are the masquerade
Dele Alake is a liar he was speaking as if there was a concrete agreement between them and labour but the labour president make it clear that no agreement reached

@@bensunday1805 lies… this is how they’ve been blackmailing us for years. The study shows 90% of the subsidy goes to the rich class because they use it more. Btw there’s subsidy on education, health, and some food
Removal of subsidy is not the prob....what caution effect do you have in place????!!! You took the cow to the slaughter before asking if the cow is sick
@@NASDAQ_commander That’s the point to be honest. Jonanthan negotiate and tried to remove it but failed. Buhari tried to remove it and failed. May be it’s time it time to slaughter the cow before asking. Let’s find solutions after it’s done just like we are doing now.
The problem with Nigerians...always sentimental for whatever reasons. Someone said Nigeria now spends 95% of its income to service debts. Who incurred the debts? How were the debts incurred? Has the homologous debt profile transformed Nigeria and Nigerian's lives on the streets? Or did it enter the pockets of some cabals and patronizers of the last administration? Why can't we just be rational as Nigerians? Some of you people supporting this inept and abrupt subsidy removal fiercely kicked against it in 2012 when GEJ wanted to implement it. Then it wasn't going to even have the kind of impact it now has on the masses since the Government had a well-laid-out plan to cushion it. Now, that perhaps those you considered to be your people are now in Government, you are supporting it forthwith, even when they have no plan to address the effects it will have on the poor masses. If they do have a plan, they will have confidently reeled it out even before announcing the removal of the subsidy. They even made the announcement one month earlier than the scheduled time in the budget. What a dubiousness! So they want to spend that money that has been earmarked to run their expenses without even considering the masses. This is the height of insensitivity! I also see a comment of someone comparing a non-oil producing country and a small one in resources for that matter (Benin) with Nigeria. It seems you must be among those gaining indirectly from this government or you just like to suffer and smile out of sentiments! Why don't you compare Nigeria to other oil-producing countries, let's not even go far to Europe, you didn't even think about Algeria, and other Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Qatar, I will even leave out UAE and Saudi Arabia. Until we become honest with ourselves and begin to hold our leaders accountable, Nigeria will sadly remain where she is and even go down the more!

You don't just get excited about the new position and begin to talk recklessly; you need to calm down, could properly and then organise a press briefing with the appropriate agencies representatives and then collectively make the pronouncement after it has been agreed upon by all parties.
Na Yoruba man dey talk
Agbadonians console themselves by saying Obi is also anti-subsidy. First, Obi will not remove subsidy without consultation, planning, alternatives, or palliatives. Second, Obi will not embezzle the money realized from subsidy removal (which Thiefnubu and his gang will definitely steal). Third, Obi won by a landslide so he will enjoy much more public sympathy.
NOTE: Some Yoruba tribal bigots do not realize that the imposition of Tinubu (as Mr Yakubu’s Pestilence-select of Nigeria) is actually the lowest point for the Yoruba. A certified drug baron, grand-thief of public funds and murderer of his opponents (both real and imagined) who threw the Christians under the bus has now crowned his kleptomaniac career by stealing another’s mandate. He stole it by maiming, manipulations, intimidation, thuggery, killing, ballot box snatching; etc. It is fools who glory in their shame. “Tinubu’s entire life can be summarized in one sentence: He used drug money to buy Lagos State; now he is trying to use Lagos State money to buy Nigeria” - Seun Osewa (Owner of Nairaland). Yoruba ronu!
I've asked government to scrap refineries and sell the metals...clear the land and built a new one .ain't we wicked and stupid in this country
Look at Osho baba the handsome man at the back 😅
Ajaero, why don't you advocate for the sale of the refineries so as to make them work?
He is not the president. A smart president will make all these options available before jerking up prices.
@@tristandeportivo4990 you ppl will still complain that they sold your birth right. Birthright that is collecting salary for 63yrs without producing one drop
Very shameful that government cannot management functional refinery , NNPC is stealing money
It's not shameful. Govt had no business in business
They have started with their endless and fruitless meetings where sitting allowances are paid to them, elbows are greased and the situations remain the same.
Very correct Adam did exactly the same thing. They have turn Nigerian to football. Now that we have the highest corrupt people in government …
A vibrant daddy
Contrary to the TUC person's comments, the NLC president's are constructive.
I have to agree with Labour here. Somebody is definitely lying. Subsidy is the only thing the Nigerian people enjoy from the government. Subsidy exist because of government mismanagement. Should the citizen pay for their mismanagement ? Shouldn’t this refineries have been sold a long time ago to private parties like it is in other part of the world.
The new president had made it clearer that no matter how long protest would last, he will removed gas subsidy.
So, why are wasting workers monthly deduction for paying hotels bills and travelling bogus allowances?
Nigeria does not belong to 'the new president' but Nigerians. Autocratic despotism has no place in democracy.
@@oofsv what about money have finish despotism?
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 Everything about it!
God bless Ajaero
Let them fix d refineries and stop paying impottation fees in d name of subsidy
This man is smart.
Not on fuel.
Removal of the subsidy has been the best because the allocated to that sector is also a means of stealing funds
The fund removed,goes where???, This agbado govt I fear lacks accountability.... tighten your seat belt 😭😭
We don't need any meeting like this. It is completely not useful
Okay let us continue with chaos like today. 😅🤣😂
Look at people telling Nigerian to have hope for a better Nigeria, the same people from 1999 that corrupt the mother Nigeria, i pity labour chairman for allowing this people to foul him.
How does the price of crude going up and the price coming down, aftect the nigeria people. The last time i checked we have crude in this country. U live near the river and u r saying u r thirsty- who do una this thing- i really dont understand.
Adams Oshiomole used to be like this 20 years ago fighting for the masses. But now, he is doing the opposite. Fighting against the masses for his pocket.
Keep fighting NLC. The government should do the right thing else, we shutdown as we did in January 2012
He realize masses are sacrificial lambs to become governor.
God bless Nigeria labour executive.
Elenunla 😂 will ensure talks are on-going until they have chopped what the previous gov budgeted for it until June ending while you pay the new price 😮
Dele Alake has got the position he had long wanted. Lies and bullies begin now just like Femi Adeshina and Garba Shehu.
133 million are poor How do u find them?
Good luck Jonathan tried to remove the subsidy the same tinubu and is members protect against it. In good luck regime
I trust NLC president as of now workers can not go to work due to transport
We pray for best solution
This Man is more than Oshimohle
God have mercy on us
NLC should be forward thinking and not belligerent.
You think removing fuel subsidy without building refineries to refine your crude in a top oil producing country is forward thinking?
A forward thinking government will make plan this to not suddenly make food too expensive for poorer families to feed their children.
@@theblxckstoic_ So, where will a country long in huge deficits get money to reactivate her refineries? Besides, I remember Buhari came with the zeal to repair them but under the former minister in his first tenure, they were advising against going forward bacauses of sabotage culture that crippled them in the first instance. But at least, PH refinery is on its way to live. And I think another one too
@@ade008 well, I believe the WB loan of $800 million is part of the temporary cushion.
@@247BRIDGE stop making excuses for inept leaders, you are part of the problem. Buhari had 8 years to make already existing refineries function. It took Dangote 7 years to build a refinery from scratch. Buhari and APC took Nigeria 20 years back. Facts do not care about your feelings.
They even brought oshiomole to come and prevail or form boss over Joe Ajaero and TUC president,but you shall all fail, And we all love NLC presidents stand.
There is one thing that I can take from all these.Buhati was incompetent to handle Nigerians problem.APC should never have presented Buhari.
the fact that you can see members of board in governors speaking to the Press shows a lot in aw d government is changing
So, if the country cannot afford to continue oil subsidy what do these idiots want the Government to do? The fuel subsidy must go.
This NLC is talking crap, instead of talking to fuel marketers to stop price gauging, he is making noise, fuel subsidy cannot be sustained.
If the removal of subsidy won't favour Politicians they won't consider it at all. They're all criminals. Why can't Tinubu deal with insecurity, killings, poverty on his first day in office.?
If you don't understand what's going on just keep quiet
First 419 apc is fooling Nigerians
ADVISE FOR LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR: 1) Install gas stations for BRT buses and pipe gas straight to the stations same way industries now get gas. 2)Begin the conversion of existing buses from petrol consumption to gas. 3) Put your tribal bigotry aside and negotiate with Innocent Chukwuma of IVM and buy new buses that uses natural gas. That way BRT buses can be operated cheaper to serve the masses.
Same can be replecated in our capital cities to help the masses. A sensible FG will subsidise conversion to gas usage for logistics operators especially for those moving food items. FG also need to install gas stations across the nation so that transpoerters can have a choice.
Typical APC style. Never proactive, always reactive.
Tinubu ended subsidy without an intervention plan already in place. Horrible!
The next thing that is going to happen is that Tinubu and his cohorts will lay the blame for this karfufel on the feet of Peter Obi
I don’t like this Alake man, he is rude during election period and very loud man. Well done NLC president.
Clearly NLC and TUC are corrupted and want to keep subsidy that mostly benefit the elites of the nation. These leaders need to be removed by the Obidients. Imagine asking for a return to the status quo, not even saying lets find a way to adjust so poorest suffer the least from it. NLCnad TUC argument is why Subsidy has not be removed till date and has left Nigeria at the brik of collapse.
I've never seen a union leader this clueless
Joe Ajero is the Man!
Lol the man .They already know about this from Buhari regime
Minimum wage should be 1k per hour ...
What really is the purpose of governance? To strangulate the same people whose lives you claim you are meant to better?
They will never Support good policy because they have their party.
where were they when the Congress is making all the laws...NLC is fighting for the cabals
All of you that voted Tinubu has not seen any thing yet
Who did you vote for? Did the person you voted for say he won't remove the subsidy? You are just a hypocritical sore loser clown. The subsidy is gone!
You're just dumb.
Most this nonsense keep repeating, incompetent elites, shame on all of them.
It should now be clear to everybody that this so called union leaders are fighting for themselves and not for Nigeria. They are the one enjoying the subsidy and do not want to let go and so Nigeria Should be very careful with them. They are the masquerade
In all the sensible things they said this is your conclusion. I hope you buy at 65
@@proflanky don't mind him it is obvious He was part of the gullible ethic voters of BAT now desperately trying to defend his gullibility
Dele Alake is a liar he was speaking as if there was a concrete agreement between them and labour but the labour president make it clear that no agreement reached
Lolzzz 😂😂😂😂😂😂...chai chai chai
Oh it is all about the people now, it wasn’t about the people ASSu was on strike, where was NLC? These guys have been paid by the marketers, they are all thieves.
Old man that lies. Can't you see that these people.cannot represent the common man? He is already lying before the end. He is protecting Tamgote and his pocket. The Zooooo.
Which people?? Nigerians made decision to remove subsidy already. The only thing Nigeria is looking forward to is how to sustain through the hard time. This labour people want us to keep financing subsidy that we can’t see
Subside is the only benefit d masses get from government
@@bensunday1805 lies… this is how they’ve been blackmailing us for years. The study shows 90% of the subsidy goes to the rich class because they use it more. Btw there’s subsidy on education, health, and some food
Removal of subsidy is not the prob....what caution effect do you have in place????!!! You took the cow to the slaughter before asking if the cow is sick
@@NASDAQ_commander That’s the point to be honest. Jonanthan negotiate and tried to remove it but failed. Buhari tried to remove it and failed. May be it’s time it time to slaughter the cow before asking. Let’s find solutions after it’s done just like we are doing now.
@@adeshfishfarm5032get it right Jonathan did not failed it the same your drug president went on the streets and now swallowing what they rejected.
The problem with Nigerians...always sentimental for whatever reasons. Someone said Nigeria now spends 95% of its income to service debts. Who incurred the debts? How were the debts incurred? Has the homologous debt profile transformed Nigeria and Nigerian's lives on the streets? Or did it enter the pockets of some cabals and patronizers of the last administration? Why can't we just be rational as Nigerians? Some of you people supporting this inept and abrupt subsidy removal fiercely kicked against it in 2012 when GEJ wanted to implement it. Then it wasn't going to even have the kind of impact it now has on the masses since the Government had a well-laid-out plan to cushion it. Now, that perhaps those you considered to be your people are now in Government, you are supporting it forthwith, even when they have no plan to address the effects it will have on the poor masses. If they do have a plan, they will have confidently reeled it out even before announcing the removal of the subsidy. They even made the announcement one month earlier than the scheduled time in the budget. What a dubiousness! So they want to spend that money that has been earmarked to run their expenses without even considering the masses. This is the height of insensitivity! I also see a comment of someone comparing a non-oil producing country and a small one in resources for that matter (Benin) with Nigeria. It seems you must be among those gaining indirectly from this government or you just like to suffer and smile out of sentiments! Why don't you compare Nigeria to other oil-producing countries, let's not even go far to Europe, you didn't even think about Algeria, and other Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Qatar, I will even leave out UAE and Saudi Arabia. Until we become honest with ourselves and begin to hold our leaders accountable, Nigeria will sadly remain where she is and even go down the more!
