Mogidi:
Thank God for GEJ, fuel scarcity used to be daily occurrence with past governments.

queensmith:


I live in a country that doesn't produce a fraction of the oil Nigeria produces - yet I have never waited more than 10minutes at the plethora of stations available to me neither has the cost deviated to that extent for the past 5 years.

The spade you should be calling GEJ is a nimwit, whether fuel scarcity happens daily or on occasion the recurrence is ridiculous in its entirety. It's a result of having a clueless govenment that feel no sense of responsibility to the citizens they govern.

Stop praising mediocrity and demand your government deliver, this isn't acceptable anywhere outside of Nigeria why are you taking it?

Sanchez01:

! Did you really mean to type 300 naira per litre

Ikegift4real:


sorry to disapiont u. am a graduate n I am a working class citizen.

kraftykc:


I priced the fuel and the kind black-marketer said N250 per liter. So that's something...

Sanchez01:

This is really serious. Little wonder I spent almost an hour at a fuel station on Saturday. Worst of all, the queue was as long as a BRT lane. Electricity is erractic and barely around, our hopes of using generators are gradually been dealt a mild blow.

kraftykc:


I just left the area in Abuja CBD, the station had several queues running next to it. I joined what seemed the fastest moving one, only to learn after a wasted 30 mins that that was no queue, it was a line of cars driving past the station that got so choked people began to mistake it 4 a fuel queue.

Naija....you better vote this man out oh. Hmm.

blackandbold:
... ..pdp national chairman muazu just said apc is responsible for the fuel scarcity.i am waiting for some tanoid to say this is apc propaganda again... as they are always notorious for...chai

Mogidi:


You bought a loaf of bread at #50 and still expect to pay same 10yrs later, Bros, its seems you missed your econs class.

TristanReveur:


#ArgueLikeFFK
The reasons for this fuel scarcity include...Tinubu has mouth odour, Rotimi Amaechi used to wear one shirt before, I used to Bleep the Igbo pride Bianca...she was a moaner. Thank you.

Mogidi:


How can you compare the prices you paid decades ago to present day? Prices of goods or services don't remain constant.

Mogidi:


Compared to the past, you would agree the fed govt has almost eliminated the need for endless stay at petrol stations.

It can't be done on in 4yrs what took decades to decay, a lot needs to be done, but we're getting there.

Reference:


But when the government wanted to remove subsidy you said no. Does the government of the country you live in partially pay for the fuel you use or you even have to pay VAT on the fuel you buy. Be factual because if there is one thing Nigerians are good at it is importing. So if it is scarce then it must be a question of pricing.

queensmith:


Subsidy where? In Nigeria? Subsidy is no longer paid. So subsidy cannot be used as an excuse for oil being scarce in the market.

Theres plenty of taxes on the fuel we purchase here, if anything the taxes are the reason fuel prices are higher than in Nigeria.

I will assume the main reason is the fact that Nigeria does not refine enough oil, the export price will be of no consequence if we didn't need to import fuel. Another reason why devaluation was a bad idea - it now costs more to buy the fuel than you will make trying to sell it. Even in the face of NNPCs dodgy swap deals.

Mogidi:


Berem you should call a spade a spade, we've never had it this good. I remember spending hours at petrol stations in the past, we seldom have that now.

rusher14:


Maybe under previous PDP governments but under Buhari and Babangida (in as much as he damaged the system) we never suffered fuel scarcity.

erico2k2:

what was the demand for petrol then.howmany of us had Generators then?

queensmith:


you are having a laugh and a joke at the same time?

UK where? Please go and sit down somewhere. Where have you ever heard of long queues for fuel at ridiculous prices?

in a 2mile radius of where I live there are over 7 stations that I know of from the top of my head (meaning there is probably more that I don't) most are 24hrs and they dont even close on Sundays. Prices of fuel are tightly regulated and we're not faced with having to go to one black market or the other for fuel.

In a country with adequate supply how will any marketer hold the population to ransom? Please gerrout.

Mogidi:

erico2k2:

but wont that force local producers to refine and take advanyage of the situation rather than exporting crude?

erico2k2:

this is what I meant by some petrol station run oit of fuel.That was shell near my work place.

queensmith:


I highly doubt the station ran out of fuel. More like those pumps are out of service its not uncommon for that to happen

Mogidi:

erico2k2:

sevule:


And what exactly are you trying to imply? That the UK also suffers from fuel scarcity? Please if you have run out of incredulous lies to tell think of something better!!
