This is a post written by Audu Bulama Bukarti and he writes about the lingering fuel scarcity that is lingering in the nation. According to him, this is not the change the APC led govt promised us. Read more below..

I am currently at a filling station at BUK road in Kano. My car is the 70th on the queue. This means if it will take only 3 minutes to fuel every car, I will take about 3 and a half hours to get fuel. That’s all things been equal.

I can vividly remember that when the PMB-led APC government hiked PMS price from N87 to N145 per liter without prior notice, it promised us that that would be the end of fuel scarcity in the country. They said the price will crash in six months.

When there was minimal scarcity last December, hailers took to the social media with headlines like “The First December without Fuel Queues”, “Fuel Scarcity is now History”, “The Change has Come”.

Today, we are back to yesterday. we have to queue for several hours to fuel our cars. This is a text definition of the PDD days. The only difference is that we have to pay almost DOUBLE the PDP price we resisted with the last atom of our energy. This is the change they promised, I think.

The Big and Little Ministers for Petroleum have pretended ignorance of the current situation of things with us. Hailers have buried themselves in the sand of shame. They may be awaiting the slightest opportunity to yet again Jonathan for this one too as if that is what we voted them for.

It appears obvious to me that the Change Government has scammed us yet again. We shall, however, continue to struggle until we get it right as a country. So Help Us, God!

We've been scammed by them right from the onset... All the promises from them is nothing but a mirage.
Watch out how Lai Mohammed will claim it was due to the just concluded PDP convention that the downstream sector is finding it difficult to supply Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).

Good morning mr OP. Shey na now day break?

Hahaha... wetin concern PDP convention with fuel biko?

It's now that the writer is just waking up to the feasibility of the APC made & cancelled promises Good morning nnam.

Explanation is on its way, be patient.

This government instituted the most dramatic price increase in Nigeria,astronomical 60%!
This was the basis of the worse inflation this nation has ever witnessed,along with the ill thought out foreign exchange policy.
There is therefore no basis for any fuel queue because this government told us subsidy was the cause,they are no longer paying subsidy but still giving us queues.
They are no longer paying subsidy but still can't use the savings to give us roads,forget how good.
They are no longer paying subsidy but have not increased Nigeria's power generation from where they met it.
They are no longer paying subsidy,but still even find it difficult to tell Nigerians the truth of the fuel situation and indeed of any other thing!

Oga are you still asking questions..

wia the matter dey obvious to the blind..

Buhari must go.. that's all.

APC is useless

Next year's fuel queues would be unprecedented

APC: ALL PDP CROOKS...

mtcheew

We need to raise petrol prices to N215/litre. - APC

na now this one eyes dey open?

I am disappointed at all so called activists that called for mass protests in January 2012. All of them have gone deaf and dumb now. How can we queue for fuel at N87 and also queue at N145? This is not the change Buhari and his cohorts promised Nigerians.

lol. kind of surprise as APC have not blame PDP for this.

Today, we are back to yesterday. we have to queue for several hours to fuel our cars. This is a text definition of the PDD days. The only difference is that we have to pay almost DOUBLE the PDP price

Hunger and hardship is beginning to reset some brains, Alhamdulilahi.

Oga,calm down...de always hv an xcuse..probably na PDP convention n Atiku's defection dt caused fuel scarcity

Wailers form don finish. no one to issue again

Remember again there is no scarcity its simply marketers and trailer drivers trying to rip the Nigerians off.

The fuel scarcity is artificial

Its a ploy to milk Nigerians

It's December...and they know the weather is hot..All man must contribute to their pocket, by fueling their gen

December is an enjoyment month so all man go Wan flex and fuel their car too so fuel must be bought and money contributed to the Cabal...most especially needed for next year's elections

Nigeria is amongst the worst places on planet Earth

.

we never see any thing

Jonathan scourged us with whips


Buhari is scourging us with scorpions!

There is no scam.

Just Nigerians refusal to face reality.

The truth is, most Nigerians don't want to pay high for fuel. They want govt to subsidize fuel...

Which is what PMB is doing. All this 145 naira is partial removal of subsidy. It is the same thing GEJ, and OBJ and Co have done.

Meanwhile, cost of importing fuel is 142 per liter. We import 50million liters of PMS daily, and produce less than 18 million PMS daily at home.

Oil price has fallen, from 120 in 2013 to 64 today, and somehow Nigerians expect govt to find money to knock down fuel to 97naira per liter.

Even when oil was high, we wasted billions subsidize fuel, that we could have used to do things like increase refining capacity at home. (See why GEJ could not build refineries).

Nigerians should stop deceiving themselves and embrace deregulation. Yes, fuel will cost 200 per liter initially. Yes, poor people will suffer. But investors will come, and eventually, due to competition, prices will fall.

Time we stopped deceiving ourselves. Oil subsidy must go. So that we can have money forbetter things.

It is obvious our current crop of leaders have nothing to offer. It will take something miraculous to rescue this country

Something I love about nairaland! They are not one sided.

Biko support some of us hustling in the non oil sector by downloading my recent app:

In our effort to snatch nigeria back from the path to doom obasanjo forced the country into, we elected a wrong person as president.

APC: ALL PDP CROOKS...

;DAll pdp crook. This one week.

If Buhari did not win the last election and become president, some people somewhere would have been thinking that there was one man of "integrity" out there who would have solved Nigeria's problems. At the end of the day,the suppose"integrity" man seems to be the worst of them all.

nigeria is a country whereby yesterday always better than today.
