I want answer too.
Not only that petrol is not been sold at the normal price, it is also scarce because some filling stations refuse to sell

You see buy? The thing is scarce now. If the ones that have are not selling at inflated prices, they force you to buy some other products from them before they sell to you. And if you try using a can to buy for your gen, the petrol attendant will tell you(usually whispers) that you have to pay N100 for each can! Nigeria is working! undecided

The situation is worrisome, I bought petrol at N110 today and was also charged extra N100. Why are we suffering in this country? And what is DPR doing about this since it is their primary responsibility to put a check on this horrible situation?

The attendants in my area will not tell you because they believe you are aware already and if you try to be funny...I'm sure you wont want to

There is this pumping station called Altas cope on d Nigeria water sea , this facility is responsible for d supply of petroleum product to d five loading depot within south west(System 2b)it was reported therefore an eruption occure on the line 2 d installatin. Base on dis fact a team of enginer frm the NNPC were deployed there for it quick restoration and unlucky 4 them they were confronted by gunfires from petroleum vandals who initially occassion the breakage. Two of the engineers died instanly while the rest held hostage with d corpse of d decease unrelased. This led to the unavailability of the product in the government owed depot and subsequently open large market for the private owned depot in lagos who are not oblige to sell this product at NNPC fixed price to independent marketers. To this end the whole bulk of fault is on the govt not the marketers at various service station, for they buy above the 97 pump price frm these private depot excludin transport cost to their fillin stations. In conclusion govt shld deploy arm military personnels to d location of this facility 4 adequate security frm d vandals and award handsome compenstion to d family of d deceses so as to enable PENGASAN commence repair on d erupted lines.

Its all conspiracy right from bursting of pipelines to PENGASSAN. Government is trying its best to reduce the amount paid for subsidy. Ordinarily those private tank farms are not meant to sell to the filling stations above 92 Naira while Government pays them the subsidy. However because FG refused to pay subsidy, the private importers are now selling at 107 to marketers who in turn sell from between 110 to 120 depending on the adjustment of their metre. The more accurate the metre reading, the higher the price.

NNPC came out after the incident claiming they have enough fuel to last for months.

Only fools will believe subsidy removal will solve any problem in Nigeria.

How much was the dollar selling for before subsidy and how is it now selling for after partial de_subsidizing.

Nigerians we have been conned fooled by our president and his gang.

Removing subsidy will lead to an eternal price hike. Businessmen will always find a way to make profit.

No subsidy means no price control.

I see this more as a sabotage from government with the oil marketers as collaborators. Were are the refineries GEJ n Diezani bragged about pre election time and the deal they signed with Vulcan plus those given license to operate private refineries? Nothing is explicitly allocated for the PSF scheme in the 2013 budget. This looks more like a decoy from government to renege on its promise to put palliative measures on ground before privatising.

It shows the lawlessness of Nigerian,I see no reason why it should be sold at a higher price than the legal price.

What I sensed is that the govt has increased the fuel price, without wanting to announce it officially,to avoid chaos or reaction. Our leader are insensitive to the common man.I see no reason the govt can't come out openly,as if all is well..

There is nothing like Subsidy at the first place, let the GEJ government go the Venezuela and borrow a leaf on how they make their price at that lowest rate.GEJ led federal government has vowed to starve Nigeria poor masses to death, in the best interest and benefit of the cabals. No one is hearing about the Fuel Subsidy criminals any more. Nigerians should expect more of the hard times ahead as he will stop at nothing to shoot up the price of fuel to 250 Naira per liter by next year. This is really bad luck for Nigeria.

Are you not bn really foo.lish as usual? How can govt remove subsidy in order to protect the 'cabals'? If the govt really wantd these so-calld 'cabals' to continue to hv access to free money( subsidy), wouldnt d govt be fighting to keep the conditn of Economic rent that it met so that their 'cabal friends' wud continue to fleece d nation just as they hv bn doing since d time of Obj? Why did the President put his then considerable political capital on d line in order to cut d source of the 'free money' from the 'cabal' thieves if he wantd to keep supporting these same 'cabals'. Your stu.pid reasoning is akin to saying that dis govt removing Fertilizer subsidy that have always bn paid to 'political farmers' who never supply d fertilizers to d real farmers anyways, and which was d main source of corruptn in d Min of Agric for years, but instead now pays it directly to the farmers themselves is somehow a way of supporting those same 'cabals' in that ministry.... Logic needs to be reintroducd in our primary and secondary schools i swear; sm ppl are literate but barely educated

Mad Cow:

Reason a little for yourself. Do you realize how many petrol stations are out there? They are not Big Brother so without reports being filed by customers, they will not be able to determine all the dubious petrol stations.

Just yesterday I reported one such petrol station. I got to the station and was informed by the attendant that they were selling for 110/liter. I immediately left and bought else where (not even up to 5 km away on the same road) for the standard 97/liter.

Pls who paid the free money(subsidies) to the cabal? Government. Government itself aided the cabal because NNPC,DPR,PPPRA,Min of finance, budget office,Office of the AG and the Presidency paid monies out without verifying their claims. Though I may not subscribe to the view that removal of subsidy was to protect the cabals because govt itself is part of the cabal
