Agreed.

Nigeria is filled with Nigerians.

Until we Nigerians begin to do what is proper as found in other climes, not even our Saviour can change our situation .

The scarcity is deliberate and we all know this, even if we deny it for whatever reasons that appeal to our prejudices.

My gut feeling is, due to the price of the barrel in the international market, marketers are not satisfied with their margins and they are pushing for an increase as they always do.

Unfortunately it would lead to a rise in the price of other goods and services should this happen.

Nigeria is made up of Nigerians .

We are not interested in the Nation but how much we can make today.

Sustainability is a lost word in the Nigerian lexicon.

The announcement by PENGASSAN to proceed on strike is believed to have worsened the fuel scarcity across the country as marketers hoarded the product in anticipation of the strike and petrol users resorted to panic buying.

The fuel scarcity across the country has resulted in price increase by filling stations in some states.

bia, who are you deceivin

pawesome:
not just ani kinda goat...a big fat ugly useless pathetic one

kettykin:
i give up on Nigeria

DaudaAbu:



Why are nigerians choosing to ignore PENGASSAN and instead focusing on the gov't.

All this scarcity was initiated becos d grp went on a day strike, but frm when they release word dat they might go on strike, dats when the scarcity started

Y do they hav to go on dat strike in Dec is the Question. And would the union undo all this sufferinb they've made people go thru if their demands are met?

Okoyeeboz:

Nigeria is a yeye country. America wey no geh fuel for ground sef no dey get scarcity....

davidif:
And here In lies the problem, govt intervention in the free market. Get the govt out of the petroleum industry and let the private sector take over. Sell NNPC, NLNG and those refineries.

The way to prevent this in future is for The govt to liberalize the petroleum sector and let the free market take over. This has proven to work in much saner climes but the Nigerian govt seems to hate logic.

PHILipu1:

Please does it also mean that people like you that were also supporting PDP and Jonathan to continue even when we were still paying subsidy and were still having queues every year are goats too?

thunderbabs:
Nigeria is a yeye country. America wey no geh fuel for ground sef no dey get scarcity....

blacknp:
Ignorance is a terminal disease,a country that produces 13.5 million barrels of oil a day does not have crude in the ground?

almsofgold:
A task force should be activated to checkmate hoarding
That is the main problem necessitating scarcity

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has intensified efforts to flood the market with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise called petrol, and other products.

Already, six major marketers: Total, Forte Oil, Oando Plc, MRS, 11 Plc and Nipco Plc, are now loading products round the clock from their various depots in Lagos for onward trucking to all parts of the Country.

The supplies are mostly from Cargoes of PMS imported to by NNPC which are daily berthing and immediately being made to discharge their products to stem the supply hiccups.

The imported products are also being supplemented by supplies from the local refineries.

NNPC assures Nigerians to remain calm and not to engage in panic buying as the end of the challenge is nigh.

Marketers are strongly advised against hoarding as security agencies, working with industry regulators, would mete out appropriate sanctions to defaulters.

Earlier in the week, NNPC GMD, Dr. Maikanti Baru, had stated that the Corporation’s 1billion litres PMS cargo imports had started to arrive, saying supplies to parts of the country had been doubled to 80million litres per day since the current hiccup in the supply chain was noticed a few days back.

and i never called who i was supporting....

At least even if i was,i was queing for it at a cheaper price without promises been made...and not been a fool at 145

PHILipu1:


So,you were still even queing for it even when PDP and Jonathan were paying half subsidy for it?

SalamRushdie:

But fuel prices will be increased early next year so what yiu gon do

fitzmayowa:



Nigerians should brace up for 200/ltr sometimes next year the current 145/ltr is not sustainable and the most annoying part is the APC led government not being sincere...

Nbote:
I thought d govt claimed these same marketers were d ones responsible for d scarcity in d first place?? D imbe even mentioned panic buying.. Where is d product before U talk of buying.. I was in a queue earlier dis evening and so many drivers left their vehicle there and went home becos no fuel in d cars. I'm supposed to embark on a trip tomoro and blew d little fuel I had jumping from one queue to d other and still haven't bought. If U still support dis govt U are no different from a goat and an Imbe..

Reference:


It is their cash cow and scam boat. They won't sell. They are no longer making money from telecoms and power is slowly ebbing away. Do you expect them to give up rhe petroleum sector just like that.

If I was in power I too will not want government to give up that sector because it could make me a killing in a few short weeks. That is why this country cannot develop without the active participation of its most vulnerable peoples, the people that suffer tbe most. Unfortunately they give up theur only powers (elective power) too cheaply and ignorantly. And as long as sentiment and propaganda can be used to manipulate them into cheap electoral decisions then anything goes.

What is stopping us from making concrete, specific demands ahead of thd 2019 polls that whoever comes into government must privatise the petroleum sector before its first term is over and start that debate, now. But the corrupt government will muddle it with ethno-religious sentimentality and the ignorant mases will lose track. The best they will then give are vague promises of 'revamping' the petroleum sector, refurbishment of refineries and other pie in the sky tales. Nothing concrete ever sells in this country.

I'm afraid we are just too ignorant a people to get the kind of quality government we desire.
