That is why i love western countries. This is the type of news Fox news would have loved to air. It would have been tagged armed robbery in broad day light by uniformed men.

And the soldiers in question will be dismissed and tried for arm robbery. Meaning that there is equality before the law.

I guess Nigeria is a " democratic" country. And if this story is true, what are the media doing with their weapons of mass destruction. Or is it not the best time to roll out the communication drums?

Even the story got no picture, no prove. The country got a long way to go.

This kind of behavior deserves to be punished!

If I have to ask if this is legal then something is wrong with Nigeria.

I don't even know what's legal and what is not in Nigeria anymore.

Officials of the Nigerian Army on Monday took over the Ojodu Berger outlet of Capital Oil, buying petroleum products in drums, after scaring away thousands of consumers.

The armed personnel came in the guise of maintaining peace and order, but they soon abandoned their primary responsibility for fuel racket. They shoved, maltreated and sent away those who were on queue to be attended to, thereby gaining access to have their drums loaded with fuel.

As of press time, the unregistered white Isuzu truck they use for the ‘deal’ had visited the filling station for the fourth time.

The fourth truck was being loaded as of 8:50pm.

The vehicle, on each visit, left with at least 14 drums and dozens of gallons filled with fuel.

The helpless consumers, some of who slept at the filling station, suspected the soldiers were feeding the growing Lagos black market with the product.

The military officials who were fully dressed had taken over the only two pumps that dispensed the Premium Motor Spirit.

Those who protested the act were beaten and given scares on their bodies.

Meanwhile, consumers, who had spent the entire Monday at the filling station without getting the product to buy, had described the announcement by Ifeanyi Uba as a publicity stunt.

By 9pm on Monday, not more than a hundred cars left the station with fuel.

Besides the military, officials of the Nigeria Police Force and black market dealers took over the show while thousands of motorists who had crowded the place since 5am were abandoned.

Jonathan's tenure has witnessed the least fuel scarcity in Nigeria's history.

Yet at the end the children of hate want to taint him by hoarding petroleum products.

Most of the cabal members are staunch APC supporters who cannot replicate Ifeanyi Ubah's gesture.

Besides diesel has been deregulated for the past 7 years yet they refuse to supply the product.

What if ifeanyi uba connived with the uniform men? What if it was his plan? Military men with an unregistered vehicle, taking rounds and there is nothing a powerful man as uba can do about it? According to the news, the soldiers didn't come once, not twice, not even trice and you expect me to believe there was nothing he could do about it?..abeg use ya head

Olodo what makes you think ,I care about your useless invectives? If Ifeanyi Uba did not want to sell fuel like his fellow markerters,heavens will not fall and I bet you the strike will still be on now.You sophisticated haters should try and get a life.Your Frustrations should be directed to the likes of OANDO,MRS etc who refused to sell at all and not this patriotic Nigerian citizen.So you expect Dr Ubah to chase away the soldiers in this country? who doesn't know how crazy Nigerians soldiers are especially when it concerns "bloody civilians"

[quote author=Beremx post=34098538]Those in charge of Ifeanyi Uba's petrol station should be blamed. They cannot co-ordinate the sale of fuel accordingly and they prefer to sell to black marketers at higher price.

Ifeanyi Uba has done his best and he should be commended anyway.[/quote

During the fuel scarcity, everyone kept quiet, someone brought solution and instead of rejoicing most are pointing fingers and insulting themselves. Keep up the good work!

Please, note that GEJ is gone so take him off your radar, let's concentrate on what we can do for the betterment of the country with the current leader.

We have this powerful tool called social media, if the LGA chairman in your locality is not working, bring his pix and name here and we will be on his case until something is done. If the roads are bad, we will take pix and post it here until those responsible do something about it. We can discuss the light situation in our environment and ask why there's blackout and seek resolution.

The power is now in our hands, there must be efficiency now.

Let's stop with all the childish insults, nairaland has grown beyond childish tantrums.

Long live Nigeria!
