I must count myself among the 'lucky' ones then. Have never bought fuel above N180/litre, neither have I stayed more than 30mins at any particular petrol station.

Quakertellicus1:


Here is a painful truth for you.

Deregulation of the downstream sector is the way forward. We will get there...we have no choice.

toprealman:
You work in a fuel station or knows someone who does.

Hahahaha. Not at all. Sometimes I'm just driving past a petrol station and I see a very short queue of about 3-5 vehicles, and if I drive in and ask for the price and is reasonable, I top up my tank. There was a time I drove round with a tank in yellow, and was lucky to find a station newly opened for the day & selling for N150!

1.Well speaking personally, in 2014....I bought fuel at N102 per liter in the FCT , N110per liter at Kaduna and N110 per liter near Kaduna. Also,I know someone who bought fuel at N170 per liter at Minna.....


Of course if one was patient, and queued at NNPC or some marketers like Total and Conoil....like I used to do and still do...you got fuel at the official price.

2.The poll was conducted across the country. You did not read my link properly then.

3.The reason why many marketers nationwide were selling above the official price was because subsidy was not allowing them to make a profit to import excessively. As a result.. they just simply ignored DPR...and kept on selling high high.

4.We are in this situation in this point because GEJ did not build the three refineries he promised in 2010...and signed MOU in 2012. And he only partially removed subsidy, and eventually ran out of money to pay for it...which left many marketers in debt...which is why we are in the situation we are in now.

5.Before you accuse me of excusing PMB.....here is what needs to be done now

-Oil subsidy must go. Yes...it means high prices ie as high as N250-300 per liter ....but they would eventually fall after a year of uncomfortable stress.

-We need to build new refineries...BIG and Little. Because our current refining capacity is just 17 million...and we need 70 million daily.

GambaOsaka:


At least we are 100% confident that this new loan will not end up in someone's pocket like during the days of your hero GEJ.

obajoey:
but banks have not started closing before their usual closing time now, network operators have not started sending messages to people that there wont be newtwork tomorrow due to fuel issue. And you said this is worst?

sarutobie:

since I noticed this moniker on nairaland it has been regurgitating one thing only "fuel subsidy must go, build more refineries"...is this the sermon you were paid to preach here? cuz we know a lot of them with paid sermons around here..you believe subsidy is the iceberg sinking Nigeria but you protested against its removal when gej tried it? you can call the past administration all sorts of names, BUT the one thing they wanted to do (which you have been preaching as the main problem of Nigeria) you vehemently rejected it then! so spare us your sanctimonious posturing, you all cut your nose to spite your face..

Quakertellicus1:


Correction....I did not protest against fuel subsidy removal in 2012....infact 2012 was the year when I saw the light so to speak about removal of fuel subsidy.Before...when previous govts brought up the idea...I thought it was wrong...but when it was explained clearly in 2012 why we needed to remove the subsidy...I agreed fully.

I opposed GEJ yes...but back in 2012...I was still in ''He is the new guy, let's give him a chance then''. And even when I went full opposition in 2013....I still thought...and still do think that removal of fuel subsidy made a lot of sense. Nigerians...unfortunately only saw the price increase...not the long term benefits.

GEJ should have built them greenfield refineries though....the ones promised in 2010.

Quakertellicus1:


Actually things were bad. We had scarcity every year of GEJ's regime. And part of the reason for the current scarcity is GEJ's failure to pay many marketers during the last year of his regime....meaning many of them had to take heavy loans from banks to import ....which they still owe...and which the current govt is struggling to pay thanks to the low revenues now from oil.

And there is a sense in which GEJ used high revenues from oil during his time in office to paper the cracks in the fuel industry in Nigeria.Instead of improving the refineries properly, and at the same time building the three refineries promised in 2010...for which a MOU was signed in 2012...and then nothing happened....we got promises on paper and massive importation. What we have now is left over business from the PDP.

What we need now,of course,is removal of subsidy, and eventually we actually have to build refineries.

SleekMallam:

With tinubu ameachi obj Atiku lurking behind? You should be worried it won't even be enough to share and settle debts they incurred while bankrolling buhari.

emmyblackky:
The lingering fuel scarcity seem not to be anywhere close to ending. it's still 4am but the NNPC mega station Makurdi is already filled.
what's your experience on this fuel scarcity so far?

GambaOsaka:


Do you think Mr President is not aware of the clamour for ' Sit at home and Dont travel.... Blah Blah Blah'...
Of course he is aware, yet he insisted on his numerous foreign trips. The fruit of which is the recent Chinese loan.
Are you telling me he is doing all that just to payback the so called bank rollers? Absolutely not!!!

You and I, including all Nigerians know that when it comes to the issue of Corruption Mr President is a non respecter of anybody, cabal or whatever it is called.
He has his integrity at stake here.

PIPPROF:
its part of the change

just manage okay, when dolllard comes back from china he will look into your matter

Tell that to the kids! Buhari an overnight non respecter of corruption? He was live and direct when ameachi flew in billions of dollars and bribing delegates on his behalf. Did he even ask ameachi the source? Fashola and tinubu Lagos history nko? Round tripping? padded budget nko? Aisha buhari the largest BDC nko? You should learn to stop whatever it is you smoke that clouds your ability to see reality.

Go and disgrace him out of office nah, ranting online cant change anything.

GambaOsaka:


Malla.. abi wetin you call yourself? What's the need for the dumb and unwarranted abuse? Why can't you argue your points like a normal, civilized, right-thinking, educated ( Maybe you are not- as your name implies) Nigerian. Do you think you are the only one experiencing Fuel scarcity in Nigeria? Behave yourself Mr Mallam, this is a PUBLIC FORUM.

Reference:


You just can't get out of first gear. After one year in office wouldn't it surprise you now that there are no working plans to build any refinery, that the existing ones are not working properly and that the subsidy issue is not resolved whether to be or not to be. I am talking about a year without direction thoughtless of action. All we are being fed with are historicals. If it was that easy, wither?

Indeed, there was a country. I wonder what legacies we would leave to the future generation.
