THE SUBSIDY CONTROVERSY.



Come January 1st 2012,the federal Government of Nigeria will embark on an anti human policy on the removal of fuel subsidy.Ngeria will make history as the only member of OPEC that does not implement subsidy to better the lives of her masses.

The administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has once again shut its ears over the cries and voices of its people.Dspite the current pump price of (sixty five naira)N65,75% of Nigerians still live on less than $2.00/day according to the UN report.

Apparently,the price of petrol may hike above (One Hundred Naira)N100,thereby making life more difficult and hard for the common man on the street.During the campaigns of President Jonathan,he never mentioned the word 'subsidy',as he promised Nigerians 'A BREATHE OF FRESH AIR'.Is this the type of fresh air he was talking about?An air filled with suffering,poverty and untold hardship?

Nigerians have been praying for the resucitation of the country for over the past 4 decades,how long would we continue to pray?

The choice is for Nigerians to decide their fate or keep suffering in penury.
