This is just saddening.
If you don't mind, can you please tell us exactly the law he broke and how he broke it.

But I don't know why you are calling him crooked....that is ingenious and was given birth to by necessity, which is the mother of all invention.

One constant thing and vital gift that God gave humans is the ability to adapt in order to continue to survive their environment, this guy is simply adapting to his environment, which is natural and God's gift.

We are all in a fight against the forces of natural selection that constantly weeds out the weaker ones among us, in this battle; those who can quickly adapt to the ever changing challenges we face, have a greater chance of survival.
sir I disagree with this as it would lead to maltreatment.. Nigeria has a population of around 180million .are we now to annihilate the weaker ones due to competition.. come on,there is high bias here. instead of common good of all, we then support only the elites like slaves

In a Nation where majority of the citizens rely on fuel to power their generators,why will the government ban their citizens from buying fuel in jerrycans?.Policies like this create room for corruption!!!.How do you expect the citizens to source their fuel for domestic use.The other day i had to plead with a fuel attendant to sell fuel to me in jerrycan and in the process his supervisor suddenly appeared and he panicked and ended up pouring fuel all over my boot.I was so annoyed because i wasnt doing anything illegal.

Drove into an NNPC mega station to refill my tank only to see this guy beside me. He had a bike who's fuel tank has been reconstructed to accommodate nothing less than 30litres of petrol.

As a matter of fact, there were three of them, but I was able to capture just this beside me.

It is such a shame Nigerians have become so crooked in nature- when you make laws/rules by which all must abide, they device ingenious means to break those rules. This trick of modifying fuel tanks has become a lot more bigger than how they were originally produced has become the most preferred trick adopted by black-marketers to beat officials and dispensers to their game.

Now I understand what they meant when they said "be the change you want to see around you".




What do expect from a country where even the president is mute to law of the Land..

angry Is that man responsible for the abysmally high price we have to pay for petrol currently? Is he responsible for the shortage we face? Your dysfunctional economy created these businesses. If these 'illicit' informal sector businesses are snuffed out through policies that give Nigeria a fake western resemblance, be ready to build a 20-foot high fence around your house. It's self employment, no more no less.
Gbam!!!! thank you

firstly, he has done nothing illegal. there is no law banning expansion of fuel storage tank. secondly, do not blame black marketers for this; the police, nscdc, FRSC and JTF should be arresting black marketers everywhere. those guys are a menace. they pose lots of risks and they create artificial scarcity as well.

OP, you have a deluded sense for your comment.Have you not seen even trucks been reconstructed?Who told you that the guy is using same to sell in black market or whatever ? Your comment would have made sense if you followed them to catch them selling same product they bought from the station. Did you observe that some stations refused to sell to some people with keg who wanted to buy for their gen and the stations refused selling to them?At that point, what do you expect some people to do knowing fully well that most places got no light and depend on gen to power their homes and offices.

Moreover, how much fuel will that tank contain that will change the life of the guy buying with that okada if he decides to be doing black market business?

You have no point here.

What is the crime?

I heard they don't sell to those with jerry cans.

So the okada man modified his tank to accommodate more to avoid incessant trips to and stress from gas stations thereby wasting valuable time he could use to make more money.

And the first thing that crossed your mind is black market? SMH

I see nothing wrong with that.

Black marketers don't force people to buy their fuel and they've also been a saving grace to many drivers during scarcity.
gbam! well said! anyone wey disagree with this comment should go and find job to blow.

@omenka Where is the illegality in this? Is there a stated minimum of fuel a motorcycle must buy at a time? So you mean if I decide to change the tank of my car to a slightly larger volume to fill more at a go. That's a crime?

Some people's reasoning is just low!!! cry
