The first problem, of course, is assuming that we are an oil-rich country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAnd this has always been the big joke for me. I remembered in 2011 when we were talking about the fuel subsidy debate when President Jonathan rightfully wanted to remove the fuel subsidy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI said to people we are producing two million barrels of crude oil for 160 million Nigerians, that is one barrel for 80 people. Saudi Arabia produces one barrel for three citizens. That is a rich country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cYou are producing one barrel for 80 and your share of the revenue of that barrel, maybe half, so you are producing one barrel for 160 people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThese people (referring to Nigerians) need education, they need healthcare, they need infrastructure, they need electricity, they need telecommunications, they need agriculture and you decide that what they need more than anything else is cheap fuel. That does not make sense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He argued that successive administrations continue payment of fuel subsidies because some people in power are making billions of naira from the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He also alleged that most of the numbers from the country\u2019s importation of petrol are \u201cphantom\u201d, stressing that \u201ca lot of the petroleum subsidy that will say, it being paid is from phantom fuel that never came into this country\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe only reason it makes sense is that there are a number of people who control the levers of power, who are making billions and billions of dollars out of this scam that is called fuel subsidy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOtherwise, there is no reason why government after the government will continue, when the argument is clear that the damage to the economy is clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWe have this scheme called the subsidy, which is really a scam, and practically everything that comes in, goes right back out \u2014 to import petroleum products and pay subsidies on those products.
