Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the removal of oil subsidy is as a result of Nigeria's poor economic state. According to Mohammed, Nigeria is broke. Mohammed said this while speaking with State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja yesterday May 18th.
“The current problem is not really about subsidy removal. It is about that Nigeria is broke. Pure and simple! It is like somebody who has been earning N100,000 a month and he is faced with a situation where his employer says henceforth you will be earning N10,000 a month. He would need to make some very painful decisions and some very painful adjustments. That is the situation with Nigeria today. A few months ago, we were earning as much as $100 for every barrel of crude. We no longer have the resources, the foreign exchange to bring in refined fuel products. And our economy is shrinking. We appreciate the fact that the decision is going to affect everybody. We appreciate what we are going through, but Nigerians should also know that the government has the responsibility at times to take very difficult decisions. So, it is not always about popularity.”he said

Nigerians all voted for change so no need to complain or go abt strike thereof.
Long live LIB.
Nigeria has always been broke
Excuses everyday abeg una no dey ready for the so called change.wait ooh u say Nigeria is broke... abeg come make I borrow una money. rubbish
And yet u could request for millions to travel for no purpose.
Ofcourse we failed to save during oil booms, now the price of oil has declined internationally and this is the price we have to pay.
May something like GEJ never happen to this country again.
. ~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
BUT U WANT N13M THIRTEEN MILLION FOR TRAVELING.
Ogbeni lai....sharap naija broke only u and 3 abi na 5people dey use 13m go china...
Thanks GEJ. Fuck you very much. Ole buruku...Oma baje fun gbogbo yin! You and your entire cabinet that bled this country dry
That's the simple truth...simplest explanation. In 2014, we were earning over $100 per barrel for fuel, and now we earn like $30 a barrel. That's like someone that has been earning 100ks a month and now earns just 30k a month...he is bound to feel a little uncomfortable from that.

This outrageous statement is coming from a satanic mind garnished with chronic wickedness...but he has the guts to demand 13m.
Who E Epp abeg?what about all the so called money you people claimed recoverd
Mr Liar Mohammed, we bet you would not have believed it if the past administration had said the same to Nigerians.
Also, we bet when you were in the opposition you did not this.
Now this is your problem, DEAL WITH IT;
And this same government claims to have recovered billions of dollars from looters....na wa oo
What about the looted funds u guys said u've recovered??? Fools
Oh shut up!

We are broke and u want 13m plus to go and sleep with them ur ahsewos in China? Rubbish...
Agidi na agwuo ofe, mtuchhhhhhhhh, old liar, u will not go and rest
Lai Mohammed said Nigeria is broke, but he's asking for 13 million naira to traveled to China. Chai, Nigerian is screwed under this administration, only God can delivered us from their hands.
Rubbish, am tired of hearing this
This APC leaders are very selfish. So you know that Nigeria is broke and you still have the mind to request for millions so you can go abroad for useless treatment. Call it borrowing or whatever, money is money. Mcheew!
Dis man is a big HEGOAT, he knows naija is broke and yet was asking for 13million Naira for china trip. Idiotic hypocrite.
Amen...it pains me that many young people here either dont follow world economics or deliberately choose to be very shallow or subjective on intelligent issues!
If it not about breasts or bums, they cant analyze it!
Tomorrow's leaders,indeed!!! That is why your grandfathers will continue to lead you!

The moment i saw the list of Ministers in PMB cabinet i know there cannot be any change. how can you constitute former governors and former ministers and former former and expect change. we cannot be doing the same thing and expect different result. If we want CHANGE (in capital). New ideas, new Nigerians has to be involve in this. There is nothing new this people will offer. It is business as usual.
Nigerians don't be deceived. Open your eyes widely.
I'm sorry, but, this guy needs to be fired and sent back to party headquarter where his utterances does no big damage.
Idiot! Do u know how much the budget is?
Do u know what is responsible for our foreign exchange,majorly? You know how much we earn these days? If yes, why are you so stupid?
Change is come. Let's face it boldly.
The country is so broke yet u wanted to go lavish 13m in China. Next pls!

Idiot
This Olodo government are yet to tell Nigerians wat the problem is,they keep speaking in olodos ways !!!DONDEES
Ewu npama anonymous 5.18 pm,why should ur liar fly first class in the first place since d country economy is bleeding. Before I forget I thought d change mantra is on no official should fly first class? Make una kip on contradicting una selves. Ppl without vision,only full of deceit.
If Nigeria is broke as you said old man, is not a common sence for the house of rep and senators to have reduced their salaries and cost? And cut down all the waste in the budget? Your APC prefer to allow the citizen. Instead of rendering sacrifice.
Pls tell them o. And some people are praising him .
Google "Saudi Arabia paying workers with IOU". Perhaps you can influence Linda to help enlighten some of these young fools in Nigeria
NAIJA IS BROKE! NAIJA IS BROKE!!!!! ITS A STORY WE HAVE HEARED TIMES WITHOUT NUMBER SINCE THIS GOVT CAME TO POWER. BUT WAIT UNLESS MY MEMORY FAILS ME, IS IT NOT THIS SAME "LAI MOHAMMED" THAT REQUESTED FOR N13.12 MILLION FOR A JAMBOREE TRIP TO SAME CHINA THAT NAIJA BORROWED MONIES FROM??!!!! AND THESE MONIES WAS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE IN LESS THAN FIVE (5) DAYS???? (NAIJA MUST BE REALLY BROKE) THIS OLD MAN SHOULD RETIRE AND GO AND REST IT IS BECOMING OBVIOUS THAT HIS UTTERANCES HAVE NO CONSISTENCY AND PUTTING THIS GOVT IN BAD LIGHT
Let me take my time and answer you this idiot, first amaechi,oshiomole and co put us in this mess, if you had a bit if sense you will remember that they sued the federal govt to court for refusing to give them money from the excess crude account.next time you want to talk examine all the facts and may a useless sperm like you never fertilise an egg.
It seem dis country is fill with confuse persons, our leaders embezzle bcos they dont believe in their children n family they feel dis people are week to Carter for themselve dis change stole jona ideas
Since nigeria is broke how many sacrifices have u made that u r asking the poor masses to suffer n be patient in it? Yet you want to use 13m to travel on a fruitless journey
That's Buhari'svsppointeesBuhari's 2018 campaign funds.
That's Buhari's campaign funds for 2018 elections.
And the monies returned to EFCC? Are they Buhari's campaign funds? 2018 calling!
Why da fuck would he say that.. what is a potential investor supposed to think now.. am so or does every idiot that speaks for TV actually think about wat they are saying first. I am in no doubt that ppl within the government are working hard to right the wrongs of the past. But for some fuck ing idiot like him to make a comment like that now... if this was a serious administration Lai would have been told to tender his resignation by now for such a stupid comment. And all our broadcast stations would be playing his stupidity over and over..
That is the point.....they should tell us where the recover money is.....
Mr Lai, do you mean after removing the fuel subsidy, there will be scarcity of fuel again? we can't get good road, electricity or what are you trying to say now.
Bloody lier
Na that oil money go kill all of una
Clueless people. This man should go back to his village.
Nigeria is broke and Buhari and flying around with his entourage and "Lie Mohammed" wants 13 million for five people trip to China. Tell that to the birds oloshi nie..m
Where is all the money u and ur oga said u are recovering
What is the need suffering the masses to pay 5k a month to few people. These is giving apples with snake bite at the same time. Why is Nigeria such a big joke. All the looted monies collected can fund the budget. If it's not enough then collect it from your ministers and cabinet members, ex presidents like Abacha and Co. They have Nigeria treasury with them. Why ask the masses to keep suffering for the theft of politicians. Enough of the blame on GEJ. What a change?
Don't mind him, he wanted 13 million for his frivolous travel, God almighty will judge all of you.
Where did Lind's dog find and drag in this dead rat, Liar Mohammed?
I quite agree with you 105%!!! Was utterly disappointed with d ministerial appointments too. They don't make any sacrifices but yet dey keep preaching dat we d poor citizens shud do d sacrificing. Double standards at d highest order!!!
I laugh in swahili.. APC - congregation of confused fools.. Not sure I can stomach d utterances from dis idiots till 2019
No be you for talk am? The Chukwu Merije of our time. Then all the refunded loots what have you people done with them?
13.12m naira transferred to china will make the country richer lie lie mumu
A na akonu!!!
liar mohammed are u back from china with the 13m u collected and yet u came out here to say nigeria is broke,haba oga u no fear GOD. If nigerian Is broke am very sure 100% that's not effecting u in anyway,cos u ve lie a lot and take all d money. #Lindatakenote
God will help Nigeria. Today broke, tomorrow not broke
Anon your entire generation is aleafy fucked. U and ur almajiri president will never know peace for the miseries u imbeciles bring to naija.
Anonymous u are d only idiot, goat, fowl, nama here. I know surely this country will be divided one day and we will not have to share the same air with bigots like u. No one should open mouth and talk bcos they gave ur almajiri group the presidency abi? U will all rot in hell. Imbeciles
Assuming the PDP is still in power today,i honestly don't think they will be saying we r broke tho...even tho stealing which everyone does,they manage to make make economy work and increase workers salary,benefits from time to time...I'm now susprised how after almost a year a half of crude oil production,all other forms of revenue,they are still saying this same shii of we r broke..i this Govt. Going to generate money at all or their administration just only depend on loots a stashed funds? Cuz thts all we hear nw...
My thoughts exactly...
@anonymous 4:49pm why should she shut up? She spoke the truth not like you that is blinded by tribalism and Religion.
