What is your opinion about the new petrol pump price of N97 (Fuel Subsidy)?

What is your opinion about the reduction of pump price of petrol from N140 to N97?

What impact will it make?

What are Nigerian's responses on social networking websites about the development? Please post.

President Goodluck Jonathan made a speech this morning to reduce (not remove subsidy) the pump price to N 97 from N 140. In this view, labour leaders have called for the suspension of street protests and rallies but said "Stay-at-home" strike continues... What NEXT?

Share your opinions and post the positions of Nigerians on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter. Thank you.

Definitely, the situation is not welcomed as the effect of the pump price increase can not be reversed with the new price. The prices of commodities have gone up by 200% due to fuel subsidy removal. Now that new price has been set (N 97), the prices of commodities will not come down. I am quite sure of that. Or what do you think?

You are definitely right! As far as I am concerned, it makes no difference. Read some of the opinions of people about it:

***My opinion is dat i want d fuel 2 go back at normall price because all d things dat we buy he we be back.

***Nothin has been done,for me the strike should continue untill the FG reaches a reasonable amount that is affodable to the masses.This increase doesnot affect people that earn good money each month,,what about those that use comercial transport to evry where they go,how much do they make from their businesses?

***Let FG consider d poor

***Finally, Finally PMS N97 per litre.

***Labour dis is unfair of u,when next b/4 taking a decision think it well.I'm disappointed in u. (4rm N65 to N97) Labour tell me by march ending 31st Jonathan will increase again. U'll see,have it in mind.

***They ve disappoint me,wit the trust i ve on them.

These are series of opinions and expressions by Nigerians on Facebook:

**this is so funny,after much struggle all they could say is for we the poor masses to stay at home make hungry kill us abi?

"In the meantime,we ask our people who have made tremendous sacrifices in the last few days to comply with the stay-at-home directive as a continuation of this mass action and await further directives". Pastor Tunde Bakare.
Convener,SNG.

**"The Labour of Our Heroes Past Shall never be in Vain".......Nigerian Labour have confirmed again that 'This is a rehearsed script' just like always. The moment they start 'Ungodly meeting with GEJ..I know it will come to this. We go back to our Suffering and Smilling life again. NLC has just must made those soul that was lost to be in Vain...But there will be another opportunity soon when NLC, TUC, GEJ,FEC, will face the wrath...the time is coming....And to those HEROes that lay down their lives on this course....You have written your name in Gold forever!!!

**what did you want the labour to do where military have been deployed to the streets? more lives to be lost? labour said its the unilateral decision of the government, meaning they have been threatened to accept it or.... so why blame them?

**NLC dashed the hopes of millions, in the end its like waiting for a boat at the airport... What a country!!!

**"Wats 97...wen last did u see naija coins?! Wen we stop fooling ourselves we'll realise dat N97 in naija is equal to N100. Dats d naija political arithmetics accrdin to d formula in patch- patch-go-razzle thoerem! Dats d more reason we're being ruled by a Robocop carryin out orders 4rm economical scientists...omo! I wan enter class joo!!!"

**Men see soldier pick race.wey the labour and the SNG wey say dem get strong head.soldier just flash their gun na him nobody show up again.fake SNG lagos

**NLC suspends the strike action! They have been bought again!

At last, Nigerians were upgraded from using Nokia E65 to Nokia N97. What a promotion! In my opinion, it is better for the price to remain N 141 rather than N97. So soon, government will revisit the fuel subsidy removal issue... Believe!
