Nigerians Lament As Kerosene Price Increases To N220 Per Litre by annnikky(f): 11:30am On Jul 01, 2016
– Kerosene sells for N220 per litre in Lagos as against
the official price N50

– Some Nigerians have said this is not the change they
voted for as they complain of the suffering.

Following the dwindling economy in the country, the
price of kerosene has increased to N220 per litre in
Lagos, as against the official regulated price of N50.

According to Daily Sun, Nigerians complained that the
suffering they are going through is as a result of the
astronomical increase.

Funmi Olayokun, a trader, said the N220 pump price of
kerosene would further negatively impact poor
Nigerians, who solely depend on the product for
domestic use.

The mother of 5 said she was disappointed and that the
situation in the country was not the change Nigerians
prayed for. She added that the prices of foodstuffs and
other commodities, have increased by over 100 per cent
saying, “Nigerians now go to bed hungry.”

A taxi driver, identified as Seun Busari, berated the
organised labour and civil society groups, noting that,
“labour and civil society groups that Nigerians depended on to fight for their rights have sold out.

Onyemaechi Ukaegbu, a computer analyst, however,
blamed Nigerians for the development, saying “when
people sin, God will raise a wicked king to afflict them.
That is what is going on in Nigeria today, so the
affliction has just begun. Nigerians must pay for their
foolishness in voting for change.

Country Director, ActionAid, Ms. Ojobo Atuluku, said the
Federal Government’s decision to remove subsidy on
kerosene signifies a continuation of a worrying trend of
regressive policies that are emanating in recent -N220-per-litre/

These basics are the only things that the Nigerian masses ask for. Affordable and available food staples, essential commodities, kerosene. The prices of these items were more or less stable throughout Goodluck Jonathan's administration.. Only for Buhari to come on board and unleash a fierce agenda of immiseration against the generality of Nigerians.

Let the confused old monster called Buhari continue chasing shadows in the name of fighting corruption rather than face the basics of governance. It's a tragedy really.
