Well, the contaminated fuel caused the fuel shortage across the nation.

Not until new export arrived, the queue might still linger on.

Unusual under this government

When Nigeria is still meaningful

Station Wagon! Datsun! Nostalgic moments back then when orderliness was a national pride. How PAN( manufacturers of Peugeot) and Volkwagen automobile companies folded up in Nigeria tells a lot how this failed country killed productivity.

Meanwhile, corruption have long taken over NNPC. Imagine the NNPC ceding its fuel importation responsibility to proxy companies being runned by cabals under the sitting government.

Nawa oh

So dirty fuel is not a new thing in this Country? I should have known

.

Notice how young the police sergeant was. Today you won't see a police sergeant that looks younger than 50.

Wow! Interesting.

What is the essence of this topic.?
I think time has come to teach our rulers a bitter lesson of their life

Always read post before commenting. No where in the story that says dirty fuel in 1974 caused the scarcity

That is Lagos.

Apart from the beautiful ambience that matches the 70s look of Lagos,the people trying to buy fuel into their metal gallon container , the police officer and the fuel attendants were speaking Yoruba.

Ta lo ni eleyi? is still being said in that exact way it is said during fuel scarcity today, even after nearly 50 years!

Methinks the Yoruba Language has not changed at all

You can pass their conversation in Yoruba as one done in Lagos today. No difference at all listening to their conversations yet it was 48 years ago!

Blackman .....the only creature that can remain
redundant for 50 years.... damn the same issues ....still facing today .

The military generals ruined nigeria.
Oloriburuku oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

For too long, our infrastructures have been neglected. Governments in the past were only good at making cheap food and other luxury available to the masses. We are not in this World just to eat food.



This administration has prioritize infrastructure, by the time the ongoing repair of ph and kd refineries are concluded, subsidies and fuel queue will be gone for good. Dangote refinery is also coming on board.




One can only hope that the next government ( Whichever party he comes from), will continue in the path of aggressive infrastructure development of the Buhari administration, that is the only way we can have sustainable development.





I AM DONE TALKING

Since 1974 same thing, no change

Bad road
No fuel
No light
No water
No security

In fact Nigeria is 5th world country

Noticed the cars are all neat....the Peugeot and Volkswagen car spotted are known cars. Possible the other cars should be nissan cars.
Land Rover series 3 spotted
