TINUBU 30 DAYS FUEL DISCOUNT.

[Smartvirus]

Nobody is paying for the discount and that's why they aren't calling it a subsidy, I don't like it, you don't like it, that much we can agree on but sometimes we really need to stop pushing our own narrative in order to make something suddenly seem like what it's not, at the moment we don't know how much of a discount they are going to give but the fact that it will only happen at NNPC pump stations already creates a problem, what about the private stations? If you want to complain then that's what you complain about.

Well said, although the discount is no longer hidden now and it’s about #66/litre which you can only claim by scanning a barcode and downloading an NNPCL app that allows you access to this. Heard it extends for about a week or so.

Don’t know if this is Tinubu’s discount and don’t even care any less about it. I suppose it’s just one means for NNPCL to get people into using their app, a way to have it launched into the market and their isn’t any much difference from this and what we experience with other businesses.

What I don’t like however, is how obligation government owes to the people is made to look like privilege, that’s not okay.

Such news are clear signs that the Nigerian government government doesn’t value her citizens because what will a 30 days subsidy do in this poor economy, instead of government to bring policies that will strengthen local investors and bring lasting economic stability they are busy talking about a temporary cushion of 30 days simply because the elections are closely, Nigerians already know Tinubu and this failed APC administration, no amount of eye service in form of subsidy will prevent the masses from voting him out.

 Nigerians have felt hardship under previous administrations but this Tinubu own is far worse, the killings and economic hardship is alarming and i doubt that any Nigerian will want to accept this petty reliefs called subsidy from them, what Nigerians want is a complete reform and not subsidy.

Is it even all about the so called discount which I’m still trying to figure out what it means in clear terms. The minister called it a discount but I don’t think government can give or should give his citizens a discount other than the subsidy we know or maybe tax rebates or other targeted welfare programs like we saw with the National Cash Transfer Program but an outright discount is something which comes dlrectly from the seller who in this case are the NNPCL. The company is standing alone as an entity and should make such pronouncements themselves and not the minister during a gathering comprised of different politicians and that’s when and why the minister deemed it fit to make such pronouncements there so it can in a way add to their political scorecard which is the main reason why he did so but we are patently waiting for the day we will also have the opportunity to show our strength and voice, I hope by then the minister will be more than ready to intervene else they may all vacate their respective positions.
