Two days ago,Ifeanyi Ubah, managing director of capital oil and gas industries limited, promised to ease the suffering of Nigerians as the fuel scarcity hits hard by releasing about 13 million litres.

This step was to ease off the fuel challenges already eating up the nation. However, an investment banker who writes as a hobby on trending topics in Nigeria, Joseph Edgar, has blasted the Capital Oil boss saying he should keep his fuel. Joseph Edgar made it known that it is childish to have attempted to think that his 400 trucks of petroleum products including premium motor spirit, popularly called petrol will solve the fuel scarcity problem that the country. See his write-up below

[b] Look, me and some very reasonable people are not being carried away by this Andy UBA’s hemlock. His decision to release 13 million liters of fuel is nothing but crass betrayal and a childish attempt at populism in the face of imminent disgrace by the incoming government.

We are tired of this kind of symbolism, this is what has put us in this place of global mockery and national helplessness. How many filling stations does Uba have, what is the national fuel usage, he releases 15 days worth of fuel to the Nation and after that what next, we are still faced with the same issues that led to the strike in the first place.

Has he resolved his wahala with AMCON? Has he cleared himself of the fuel subsidy mess? Has he paid back Coscharis and other investors he has been owing. Abeg he is part of this problem and should go sit down with the union to engage government in a bid to finding lasting solution to the issue of subsidy and fuel supply in the country.

What Uba is doing can lead to the inevitable destruction of the country. If unions decide to go on strike to bring to the fore the underlying and covered up issues of corruption, back handling, favoritism that has bedeviled not only the subsidy regiment but the whole gamut of the demystification of the petroleum industry and one person decides to break ranks and moves fuel, he should be arrested because he knows that by the time the country is on complete lockdown all the underground schemes would come up in the open.

To me, Uba’s move is aimed at scuttling the cleansing process this strike would have thrown up. He wants us to continue to be held to ransom by his ilk hence his decision to break rank so that the strike will collapse. This we must fight. We must reject his poisonous fuel. Let the strike continue. Let companies shut down, let there be no light, let there be no fuel, let schools, hospitals, radio stations all shut down. We are ready for the sacrifice, we will not die if the aim is to clean up the system and throw people like UBA who have held us in contempt by their nefarious activities in the downstream sector into the dustbin.

The incoming Government should immediately engage the unions and assure them of their genuine desire to look critically into all the issues with a view to bringing lasting solutions to this matter. The outgoing Government have given themselves the last disgrace with this show of shame. They have prefabricated and run into their holes, we no longer are interested in them. Let the probes start, let Uba come out and tell us how he got his 13 million liters.

We are tired. We are tired. I don’t want his fuel. He should go and dump them in the Lagoon.

The man has said nothing but fact, I was surprised when some people on my network started praising Uba , I was confused if it was the same thief or a different person.

I don't know when Nigerians turn to complainers they complain at every venture attempted by everyone be it good or bad

They are all birds of the same feather, their wings would be adequately clipped

Edgar who?
Is this not the publicity stunt we hate so much here on N/L
#badbele.

.

no offense but what cleansing process are you talking about? few days to an administration change you want to cleanse what? we all know how this would end.. the old would leave the new would come and renegotiate with them oil cabals restating their importance. then who ever negotiated will be hailed as a messiah abi?
black market sells for abt 400-500 naira per litre here in lagos.. who can afford this? definitely not those your "cleasing"..
you want to clease something? then do more than bad mouth people online. take to the streets and show the few privileged that the masses wont be their footstool any more..

Abeg who is Joseph Edgar? He should for now appreciate what Ifeanyi UBA chose to do. The hardship out of this is just too much. I have never seen it this worse before on this soil. Whatever case he has can be addressed after this period when then tension has gone down. But for now,we just should appreciate his gesture.

Andy Uba is deceiving people he is among the group who caused the problem , he is no better than the devil snake in the garden of Eden , Eve likewise Adam were sure it was helping them at the time to eat fruit.


Andy Uba and his fellow marketers are just trying to get their last parting paycheck before Jonathan leaves and the daft one for once is refusing to budge. Maybe he just doesn't have the money.
