The hardship of the subsidy removal is too much on d masses but i believe is something we will benefit from in the near future. Let us look at it from the point of view that we can now see the movement of our own crude in and out of our nation and how it is that we for a longtime now have unable to manage it and how much it has cost us for other nations to manage it for us.
