Fuel is Cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi Arabia,UAE,Angola,US,Ghana,Cameroon etc by Nobody: 3:32pm On Jan 05, 2018 |
http://www.businessdayonline.com/oil-producing-saudi-arabia-uae-raise-fuel-price-nigeria-digs-subsidies/ Additional comments: Average price of fuel in United state as at January 2018 is $2.52 per US gallon (3.785 liters) Converting to naira, price of fuel is 203 naira per liter in the united states. Uk sell fuel at 1.2 pounds (500 naira) per liter Note: United states produce 9.9million barrels of oil per day Saudi Arabia produced about 10million barrels of oil per day. UK produce 1 million liter per day Nigeria struggle to produce average of 1.8 million per day (Nigeria potential is 2.3million barrels, but don't produce it on the average due to millitants and bunkering activities) United states, UK and Saudi Arabia refine all their oil in their countries. Nigeria import almost all the fuel we consume. Why should fuel be cheaper in Nigeria? for those who says fuel should be cheap in Nigeria because Nigeria is poorer than Saudi and UAE, they should also know that poorer countries than Nigeria like Ghana, Cameroon, Benin Republic sell fuel at much more expensive price of around 300naira to 400 naira per liter. For those that will say Ghana, benin republic dont have crude oil, Angola produce the same quatity of crude oil as Nigeria, fuel price is 177Kwanza(293 naira) in Angola http://www.mytravelcost.com/Angola/gas-prices/ 1 Like 1 Share

Even though Saudi Arabia produces far much more oil, and have tiny population... I am patiently waiting for the coming oil crash. When it comes, Nigerians will be wishing that things can remain the way it is now. |

life2017: I think it's quite disingenuous to compare absolute prices alone when there are a number of other factors affecting/dictating the price of pms in nigeria. Aside from the fact that the standard of living in those countries is way higher than in Nigeria, this country remains an economic basket-case the like of which this planet has never seen before. PMS price directly affects every single aspect of the livelihood of Nigerians, from electrical power (which every Nigerian home/or business has evolved to privately generate via millions of gasoline powered plant) to transportation (mass transit is the cheaper alternative & nigeria lacks it). 6 Likes |

Apart from low price of fuel, what else do Nigerians have to benefit from the corrupt government? No jobs, no electricity, even small fuel to power your gen. Self the govt don't want to reduce the price. Rubbish |

With the overdrive, it seems the govt wants to increase pump price.. Can you aswell give us the minimum wage of saudi arabia and other countries mentioned compared to Nigeria... What is the standard of living in those countries compared to Nigeria.. You have an economy that just lost 7m jobs.. Unemployment and underwmployment at its peak.. No electricity.. No pallatives that the masses enjoy.. Haba mana.. you want to kill people? Cost of petrol has a domino effect on cost of everything in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Re: Fuel is Cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi Arabia,UAE,Angola,US,Ghana,Cameroon etc by Nobody: 4:29pm On Jan 05, 2018 |
EarthXmetahuman: It is 177 kwanza (293 naira) in Angola. Angola produce same quantity of oil with Nigeria. Actually sometimes, angola do produce more oil than Nigeria. Angola has less population. Ghana and Cameroon also produce and export oil. |

Esseite:I think the OP made a mistake of comparing Nigeria with some oil rich Gulf countries and the west, he would've done a better job comparing Nigeria with other countries in our league. That said, the price of refined oil products would've been cheaper if the past government had truthfully invested in our refineries but now we import almost every drop of petrol we need, added with the battered naira because not enough dollars to shore up its value, the price of petrol is bound to rise with the upward movement of the price of crude oil. |

Re: Fuel is Cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi Arabia,UAE,Angola,US,Ghana,Cameroon etc by EarthXmetahuman: 4:50pm On Jan 05, 2018 |
life2017:this is why comprehension is important in schools. He asked why petrol is expensive in ghana? Ghana is not an oil producing nation, you expect oil to be more expensive. Just like you would expect oil to be more expensive in uk or france. Then he talked about angola? angola is another failed nation like nigeria. Even at that, angola's still having it good because their currency is stronger than naira and their minimum wage is not less down 70 dollars like nigeria. Same things goes for uae or countries with strong currency and not shitty minimum wage. |
