Kx: You have a choice to buy at that price or move elsewhere and buy at the normal price.

FYI.
Fuel stations along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Berger Bus Stop, Ibafo, Mowe, Redeem etc sells for N110 per liter worked out with a calculator while the metre still read N97 per litre.

However, fuel stations in the island, precisely Total-Sura, Mobil-Onikan, Oando-Marina etc still sell for N97 per litre with no queue.

2Mekus: Got a rude shock this morning when I drove to some filling stations at Ago-Palace, Okota in Lagos to top-up my car-fuel tank. The attendant calmly told me they sell at N120 per litre. Yet, the metre still indicates N97 per litre. Clutching a hand-held calculator he grinned at me as he announced the price. I could only mutter a curse on him as I speedily made a U-turn and drove away. But my check at the next three stations indicated the same. There was no queue; in fact some were empty and with the product available, it is brazenly being sold at such high price.

Whatever happened to the government Regulatory Agency tasked with the responsibility of checking the excesses of these Shylock Marketers?

Thank your stars... It is sold at N280/litre in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State as at yesterday! Shocking?

2Mekus:

[b]Now what kind of rude choice is that? There has not been any announcement on official increase of the price. Why would it be the same marketers who are paid billions of dollars in subsidy that will give me such a devilish choice to make?[/b]

Am suprised Lagosians are just getting a feel of what people across the Niger have been suffering since!! Just so you know we have been buying fuel for 120 /litre ever before the sallah holiday and you can only get fuel at N97/litre at major marketers (with very long queues). We haven't complained cos we have since been used to buying petroluem products far above pump price, and that was the major reason why peeps at these side didn't join Lagosians in the Subsidy strike protest and not reason because GEJ was our tribes man like many people were made to believe!! Tell me why I should go and protest for fuel subsidy when I know I won't enjoy it??

What? And you haven't occupied Yenegoa since? Then, you guys have inelastic shock-absobers. Wait, make the thing spread for Lagos and you will see occupy Lagos Season 2. Just watch.
