Does Supporting Market-Based Petrol Pricing Make One Responsible for Nigeria’s Hardship?

I argued that petrol must be sold at a profit to cover operating costs, product losses and the wider supply chain. I also believe consumption subsidies harm Nigeria by draining public funds, encouraging waste and failing to reach the poorest people effectively. However, each time I state these views, one forum user responds by accusing me of having “blood on my hands,” regardless of my views on corruption, insecurity, industrialisation or the 2027 elections. Is this genuine political debate, or simply a refusal to engage with economic arguments?
