President Jonathan also this afternoon in Abuja commissioned 1,100 interstate diesel buses, to, according to him, help cushion the effect of the subsidy removal.
How 1,100 buses will solve the fuel hike problem that's affecting 160 million Nigerians is beyond me

Jonathan is an idiot! Kindly post my comment,thank you.
He is just acting like an aimless woman. A man without direction and focus.
I thought it was 1600 buses. Pls can GEJ tell Nigerians how 1100 would cater for 160million pple. This is really sad!!
1,100??????? meaning 500 have entered voice mail... smh
Mumu president how i wish Boko haram will come and bomb his head off
BULLSHEEEEEEEEIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is subsidy removal only going to affect the transportation sector? What happens to the market (price of food stuffs, and all others), inflation control?. I think all these need to be addressed before we embark on the almighty subsidy removal.
GEJ will die a horrible death!
I strongly recommend his Phd certifcate should be withrawn- he does not deserve the title.
1100 buses for what is that what would also transport the food that we would eat, the generator tha we would use since we can't have 24 hours light, the good road and hospitals please let someone tell this man and his advisers to go sidon for one place abeg
Where is Boko Haram when you need them????
It's a patriotic decision the government took since last year. It's for the long term interest of the country.
Rome was not built in a day.
The President Goodluck Jonathan should be commended, not constantly cast in bad light or crucified.
Nigerians are hard to please and impossible to govern. May God save Nigeria from its citizens and leaders. Amen.
goodluck is a theif and a tortoise by nature!!! cunning idiot he is commissioning 1,100 buses for 160 million citizens...tufiakwa!! may God help us
Somebody shld help dis president i think he's losing it. What does he take us for? Dis is child's play honestly.
clueless goat. that will have little to no affect. how will that help folks that have to buy fuel for their generators or the skyrocketing price of goods? is it only transportation? and on what roads?
The buses are also a 'subsidy'
Linda post this documentary on oil subsiDIE by Femi Kuti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3KYJm-U7hU&feature=player_embedded#!
Hmmm who got the contract to supply the buses and when was it advertised in the newspapers for tender
Shebi the foooooooool initially said 1,600 buses ehn?? Now it's 1,100. Mchewww dis guy is a nuisance. God father please come and put mouth in nigeria's matter ooo!!! These thieves ruling us want to destroy us oooo!!!!
Common yoruba greeting is now eku subsidy, and any muslim male child born this month is named subsideen,female subsidat..
But wait we voted him innt? Can't we collect out country back from dis idiot?? Like we all write a petition against him or somn. Is it not allowed in the constitution?? Bloody asshole arrrghh!
Proposed strike without PHCN & Petroleum distribution unions is bound to fail. NLC & TUC should have a rethink if the above mentioned unions are not involved. the success or failure of strike centres around these 2 unions.
Y? Becos everything is connected to power. Majority of Nigerians will always find a way to continue to carry on economic activities & those who choose to join the strike may find themselves shortchanged & would therefore abandon the struggle. Strike ends and therefore fails. Hold those 2 unions & c whether all wont be affected. Even Jonathan, abi na im piss he wan take power the buses.
I give this advise becos if the srike fails, Nigerians are finished and Jonathan & his cabinet plus any other govt beneficiary SHALL never fear nor respect the Nigerian people. If the strike goes on as planned, there SHALL be no going back until we have achieved set out objectives which goes beyond fuel subsidy restoration and includes a clear plan to drastically reduce govt spending, renewed fight against corruption, ensure a secured nation where people's lives and property are safe and a clear electoral process that ensures our votes count at any election. The time to act is now.
Occupy Nigeria? We the people shall be the one to be forever occupied if not thoroughly and properly handled.
Hmm unbeliefable, even jonathan too.
Hayden pls shut up!hu even gave u dat kinda name sef?is dat ur real name?so fake!pls give urself anoda name!and as for ur point of view hu asked u 2 speak dumb ass!rome wasn't built in a day by sighting dat say are u arguing for or against?bcos dats d exact reason why subsidy removal dsnt make sense!u can't expect dis country 2 run @ same pace as developed nations!its a gradual process but u wnt know dat cos ur name is hayden which is so lame...
GEJ might well as have donated 100ltrs of PMS to each Nigerian to help cushion the effect of the subsidy removal. He should do that every fortnight. How about that. He's obviously clueless, I even get sense pass am!
where are we 4rm? Where are we? and where are we goin in thes contry???
Meanwhile I heard the buses are even the remnants from his campaign sef. If not how did he get dem so soon? And how do u 'order' 1600 buses and only 1,100 are delivered. He must really think we are mad. Mad man.
This guy is really an Idiot...
Thank you Linda Oh. Ask the guy how the buses will help the country. Which road are they going to drive the buses? Foolish politicians set your priorities right and not on frivolous expenses that have no backup or maintenance strategy in place. You think this contract will blind Nigerians while you steal from the back abi. We are not fools oh. Any Nigerian that thinks this is a step in development lacks common sense.
We nigerians shld be crful how we talk and abuse our leaders. Even if we think they dnt perform that does not giv us the right to verbally abuse them (or other fellow citizens)
Again, we should focus our protest on how the subsidy fund will be used. Removing the subsidy is not the prblm but judicious use of the money. lol.
I'm actually glad this is happening. I begged pple not to vote for PDP, but they did not listen. They claimed they were voting for 'the man, not the party'. That statement was as dumb as 'the man' they voted for. The funny thing is now they are all attacking the 'the man, not the party'.
Since when did not growing up with shoes become a criteria for good leadership?
All this talk of buses, is that the real issue? Are the buses going to be free? What of electricity? Or is he gonna share generators too?
All this talk about ill timing, in my opinion is bullsh*t. Why do we have to carry the pains of the failure of government? Why don't they fix our refineries and then there will be no need for subsidy? Why do we always have to be made to suffer, all in the name of 'necessary measures'? Meanwhile the mumu and his deputy spend billions in their kitchens.
Abeggi.. Make we hear word!!
Oooohhhhhhh, what is all this now? firstly 500 buses have gone AWOL, secondly this computes to about 30 buses per state( abi na only for Abuja dem increase fuel?) In Alimosho local govt in Lagos state 30 buses no go reach ooooo talk less the whole of Lagos. Oga Jona, abeg make we hear word jooo. Yeye Man! I have promised to stop responding to Mr & Mrs Anonymous and all their family,(sons, daughters, in-laws et al)but Mr anonymous @7.29 you are spot on, couldn't agree with you more.
People are complaining that 1600 buses are not enough and now am seeing 1,100. What happened to the remaining 500 buses?
For Christ's sake nigerians have some RESPECT for the man elected as our leader. Because we are angry does not mean we shud lose all decorum and begin to address him as a tortoise, idiot , goat and sorts of vulgar language. If not for anything else he is a father and a husband with grey hair on his head and is just trying to do what he sees best for his people in the long run.
I hate calling names, but GEJ's really showing how empty-headed he is.
Just heard over the news that the emergency NASS sitting today voted against removing the subsidy for now.
#occupynigeria.
I have observed that most
commentors on this blog are stark illiterates, the buses are to ease up things for the poorest folks who solely depend on public transportation and not people like you who are well off enough to buy a car or even sit in front of a computer!1100 buses through out the 36 states shuld be 30 buses for each state, thats a good start.
There is no such thing as
'free lunch',if y'all want a better Nigeria, then the citizens should be prepared to suffer a little to get there.
Anyway, hope the bus fare will be subsidised???
Give the president a chance. He is a human being. He is not TB Joshua, magician or miracle worker.
He is trying.
As long as YOU cannot walk on water, hold your tongue. Stop criticising, offer suggestions or solutions.
Be patient, please.

I thought this man had a plan I just realized he is stupid... very very stupid. what will 1100 busses do?????
WHEN GEJ BECAME THE DEP GOV IN BAYELSA WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOODLUCK, WHEN HE BECAME VICE PRESIDENT,WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOODLUCK NOW WE VOTED HIM IN AS THE PRESIDENT AND REALISE THAT HE WAS A WICKED AND MEAN MANIPULATIVE DEVIL AND THE GOD OF NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS WILL NEVER FAIL TO DECEND HIS WRATH ON HIM FOR DECIEVING US TO BELIEVE HE IS A CHRISTIAN.
Watched the commissioning live on NTA in my living room, somewhere 40 miles north of London, If not that I bought the tv with my hard earned money, i for destroy the telly as i vex reach. There are toooooo many problems with this project, where do I start.....sod it! can't give myself hypertension over this man. He just ain't got a clue. I was so vexed but then read some of the comments and just had to laugh! Lawd hav mercy!!!!!
HAYDEN, SHUT UP!!!!!!
I am sure you are typing from the comfort of a home in the western world where you enjoy consistent electricity. Alot of Nigerians depend on fuel for their generators. How do you want them to cope? Do you know that it was a 200% increase in fuel all at once? Where else in the world is it done that way?
Even in America, the government keeps extending unemployment insurance due to the large number of people who are currently unemployed. Nigerians cannot boast of uninterrupted power supply, good infrastructure, good healthcare system, NOTHING! For how long will we keep up like this?
You probably work for the government or have relatives who are politicians for you to be so insensitive to the sufferings of the masses! Shame on you and your wicked insensitive soul!
MRS PATIENCE JONATHAN THE PRIME MINISTER OF NIGERIA THE MOTHER OF THE ORPHANS THE SUPPORTER OF THE WIDOWS,THE HELPER OF THE HELPLESS YOUR DEAR CHILDREN ARE CRYING THEY ARE DYING OF HUNGER MAY YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW AMEN!!!!!!!
Shame! Shame!!Presidents of other countries commission, nuclear facilities, aerospace projects, world class refineries etc. GEJ is commissioning buses, not even made in Nigeria. Shame!!!
This president and his cabinet are either retarded or on cheap adulterated ogogoro. What is a whole president doing commissioning a thousand buses. Is he that jobless?. He should be commissioning refineries and uninterrupted power generation plants. Space missions and allow is minister for transport to do his job. He should look n see what functions his mate attends.
Please we all should join #OccupyNigeria tommorrow!
I apologize before hand but this guy must really be retarded!!!
A population of over 160 million people and he commissioned 1,100 buses only?He should have waited for more buses to be brought in before commissioning anything.The number alone is an insult to Nigerians.Lagos alone can absorb that number without sweat.This guy is clueless!!!He has surrounded himself with sychophants!!!
Nigerian's can we give GEJ a chance, let's learn to be patient, you can't eat ur cake and have it, if the removal of subsidy is what we re goin to do for our country, let's join hand together and support it, we must learn to sacrifice, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN". GOD BLESS NAIJA..... Stj
I hope those buses are from INNOSON motors that way there's less capital flight. Nnewi might the best place to look for a job now.
WHAT A JOKE!!!
He hav just told practically told us dat d state Nigeria is ment 4 d politicians and elder states men. 50 thousand sitting and 100 million standing. Dnt let wat happen in liberia happen in Nigeria.
The problem is not the fuel subsidy removal. Jonathan and the so call coordinator of body of ministers Ngozi should have put in place necessary logistics that will help to reduce the hardship we are facing now as a result of the removal and subsidize transportation and agricultural sector 1st b4 implementing their policy.
Gej what kind of public show of stupidity is affecting urself and ur wife?
When I was very young, my father made it clear to me that a good name is better than silver and gold. When you are a politician, your job is to accomplish what you are elected for, not looting public funds. The president of Nigeria, have no respect for the people, so therefore, deserves no respect from his people.. WHEN A THIEVE ROBS YOU OF OF YOUR LIFE SAVINGS. DO YOU COMMEND THE THIEVE FOR HIS ACTIONS. Integrity is doing the right things, when others are doing the wrong things. Mr Jonathan has no integrity. His yes is never yes, and is no is never no. TO THE STUPID IDIOTIC PERSON ASKING PEOPLE TO RESPECT MR PRESIDENT, PLEASE F...K. OFF. Nigeria is blessed country, we need a revolution to sort things out go good. God bless you Linda. Plrase
where s boko haram....
160m divided by 1100 equals 145, 454.55 Chei Nigerians are in trouble. Dem go wait for bus tire. I told my cousin in Lagos to come and join me in the village and he said that he must return to lagos. Ngwanu, come and go make I see u. My bicycle no need petrol. I use solar power (Anyanwu) and I grow my own food.
Anonymous, 8:53; u are a bloody fool for saying that. if u don't know wat to say shut the f**k up and go do something with ur life. decorum my ass.

Pls we all av to b smart. The governmemt is been manipulated bec even a 5 yrs old child wunt tak sme decissions been takin by mr president. The fuel subsidy is a distraction. They v got bigger wicked things goin on underground. Pdp is d most courupt party eva. Govmnts wit no benefitsfor d citizen. First it was plate num they werechanging, now its fuel theyr increasing. Who knowswats next.
If only we could have Patience, maybe Goodluck would follow. Oh we have both! Yet life sucks... It is about time we made our own destiny.

Boko Haram, abeg go bomb the aso rock specifically this idiot guy named Jonathan Badluck, then you guys can bomb yourselves. Mscheww.
I used to pray for him but he's been pissing me off lately, I can't stand him.

Hahaha, the leaders treating foolish Nigerians like they foolishly deserve. Come 2015, they are free to vote in another fisherman because he once had no sense. Like I said, Nigerian's should go home, sit the fuck down and enjoy their fresh air.
Ano 8:54 do u mean we hv not suffer enough ... I hv look at this whole subsidy removal thing , bad politically , economically n even socially ... Even very bad st this time ... Just the way I ll always say on this matter , we don't trust the govt anymore n we r not about to charge that , still they prove theirselves worthy of our trust
Jonah, his wife etc r no longer in Nigeria. They are in south Africa as we speak.Linda,
U can find out. The man don flee d country. He is such a coward. This shows how clueless and uncaring he is of the common Nigerians' sufferings.
I am proud to say i am from bayelsa but i didn't vote for Jonathan last year. When he was governor here he did nothing, so i never trusted him to b able to do any of those things he promised. Well i guess this is just the beginning. He doesn't want to be a messiah but he wants to join our past leaders that looted us.
Jonah forgets this is a new era.
GEJ sabi mathematics ooo! that's good! 1,100 and the remaining will do what? trek? so a million people will use 1,100 buses abi! this guy is so smart! pls someone should check what he got in maths in GCE, SSCE! WELL YOU CAN'T REALLY TRUST ALL THESE RESULTS THESE DAYS!HMMMMM! PROF! PROF! it'll be better if a carpenter becomes our president 'cos even the carpenter are good in measurement, addition,subtraction,division, multiplication, size and variations!Even a market woman knows better!
1,100 buses for a local government area or the whole country???....smh...
@anon 8:34. You just made my morning!got stuck on your comment! God bless you with 1,500 liters of fuel ooooooo!Amen. Linda! how are you doing? doing good!xoxo
@ Ayo! no vex jare! at least you don comot nah! nah your pals wey de here go hear am, as for me i'm ready for the strike! Enjoy your tv, you fit see me sef inside am, i'm wearing green white green, protesting okay!
I love the comment that "the buses are also a subsidy"... LMAO.... I hope they will not remove this one too. OMG... What a funny man this GEJ fellow.
What do you think? A man whose feeding allowance is =N=1bn per annum cannot be thinking right. Someone whose brain has been cushioned with food? This man is a mega fool. I thought he said the buses were 1600 or does he think that we have forgotten? Those buses should be sent to Bayelsa to move his people around bcos I have no clue how that number of buses will cater for all Nigerians. Jonathan should resign in his own interest or else God will settle our case the way he settled us with Sani Abacha. We cannot be stopped. GEJ be warned - a foolish man cannot rule Nigeria, not after you have shown us how foolish, directionless and senseless you are. He even had to do the commissioning on a sunday. GEJ is like a blind man moving without a guide.
Now I recall when CNN anounced that Nigeria borrowed one hundred million dollars from France to import buses.So these are the buses. Another debt!!!!!
Soon someone will sell off all the buses and pocket the money.The problem is with each and everyone of us.It certainly started before Jonathan.Same old,same old politicians...
Removing GEJ from office is not the answer.PDP is not the problem. Other parties are not better. They are still made up of the same corrupt Nigerians. Even if GEJ has good intensions, how about the person that will manage these buses.How much money will he return to the government? If he spends two hundred naira on gas, he will report five million.If he spends hundred naira on repairs, he will collect one hundred million. GREED!!!!
Shame on us Christians. During the polls we matched out en-mass to vote Jonathan, a southern Christian, now here we are. We should try and look beyond religion o.
Hayden, please quickly return to ur home - Hades!
What about water? electricity? good roads? jobs? etc... I hate this man.
I also wonder how this canopy nose president can still come out in public and not get shot. He must be using jazz or something because the nigger got balls.
Someone should shoot his right butt cheek so that he can feel some type of pain. Nonsense!
phd in stupidity n ignorance. GEJ
@ Bazo who the hell were we supposed to vote for? All the candidates made no sense? Would you have preferred that womanizing fashion magazine editor, Dele Momodu? Or that Boko Haram member, Mallam Shekarau? or former refugee turned Mr. kiss yansh, Ribadu? or another Boko Haram member, Buhari? or Church biz owner, Chris Okotie?
Who? We had little to no option. We were cursed with hopeless presidential candidates.
This is nt d way out.we dont nid his buses.we want pump price to remain #65 per ltr.period!
Nigeria is like a country without a president. *smh*
on a lighter note, i think its a bit funny that they even had time for a rope cutting ceremony. now that was amusing. the ish here is that the buses can only do so much, i hope they have other plans other than just these buses. what about power supply which the fuel has also been used for? will he give us generators too or fuel voucher? all i ask is for the government to provide constant power and then they can do whatever, trust me, nigerians will complain much less
Will the buses pay for food in my house or pay for my children's increased school fees? Insensitive liars in govt.
If this govt can provide 24 hours uninterrupted power supply, it will ease a lot of pain. There will be no need to fuel our generators and it will also reduce the operational costs of most businesses. That will be a step in the right direction instead of this joke of 1,000 buses.
Nigerians come out oh!
Sharing this buses is just too simple and straight forward. No argument!!!
774 Local Governments = 774 buses
Six area Councils (Abuja)= 6 buses
36 States+FCT = 37*8 buses
6 Geopolitical zones = 6*4 buses
TOTAL = 1,100 buses
Ajike,

To think that we'll believe this act (launching of 1,100 buses - which president in this generation elsewhere does that btw?) and have the whole FEC cabinet present at the pathetic event, the PR team for this govt no dey try at all...

isn't diesel (N165.00) more expensive than the newly priced fuel(N141.00)... I don't get.. are these buses free 'cos as an economic student in her first year... expensive fuel = expensive transport, more expensive diesel = more expensive transport... o ga oh! so even the (formally) highly respected segun Aganga is a myopic dumb fuck...
Good talk.

You are a silly cow. If he was your dad or member of your family would you wish the same?
Wishful thinking, but you wasting your time. Get a life.
