Ishilove this was supposed to be a reply to your comment to borrusia on your use of a power bank because of the erratic power supply and lingering fuel scarcity in the country. But after typing an epistle like reply, I thought I should rather convert it to a thread and hear different views about the situation.

Talking about the use of a power bank, mine that was designed to charge my phone for approximately 5 times is already experiencing bankruptcy. By the time I eventually post this, I probably won't be online to read comments.

The looming fuel scarcity has put frustration in the hearts of many Nigerians. Who ever thought it would get to a point where we would purchase kerosene on the black market.

Just a few hours ago some guys angrily killed a dog by smashing blocks on it at a filling station close to my place. They claimed the dog had bit one of them which I am certain isn't really the cause of such brutal and barbaric act.

Most of them have been queueing under the heavy down pour as early as 5am today, only for the fuel station to stop selling before they could purchase. I guess the dog strayed by walking into the midst of very angry men who decided to vent all their frustration on the poor creature.

With the way things are going I just hope people don't start getting extremely violent. These days everyone is so touchy, some even bring the frustration to NL. This is the wrong time to accidentally step on a stranger. You might be given a very hot factory reset slap.

Reminds me of some days back when I was alighting from a BRT bus and my hand accidentally hit an elderly man. Omo!!! the man just wipe me better slap for back. The pain was out of this world.

The man literally used all the strength he had to inflict pain on me. I just held myself together, smiled and told the man that I was sorry and that I didn't do it on purpose. Can't blame him though, the old man was standing in the bus, with the hot weather and traffic not making the situation seemingly easy to bear.

PHCN on the other hand have chosen the wrongest time to be highly ineffective. The power situation in most parts of the country has been completely epileptic.

I keep wondering what goes on in the mind of GMB. He definitely has a lot on his plate, more like 3 course delicacy of national issues that need immediate attention. Only hope he has a ravenous appetite for it.

Someone should please find a magic wand for GMB. Wherever merlin is, we sure need him and all the magic we can conjure up to fix this madness.

So how has the fuel scarcity been in your area and how has it affected you? Let's talk and vent a little online.

TheSonOfMark:

Luckily and thankfully in Uyo we aren't experiencing any of that. Petrol is in abundance here. No queues and the shuttle rates by public transport operators are still the same.

Truly this is the "LAND OF PROMISE".

People don humble for Nigeria.. Even people way dey jump from one thread to another to bash GEJ no get either power, fuel, [b]energy or zeal [/b]to criticize am today.. Does this mean that if you want to humble Nigerians, take fuel far away from them?

GMB hope you're learning from this? When people go all out on you, take their fuel and dey crawl to your feet to beg..

TheSonOfMark:

Hold on a second; what brought you to Akwa-Ibom state in the first place?

*whispers* NYSC

Setaje:
My dad na sure man. We still have more than 200 litres of petrol at home. Popsy dey always plan ahead and he knew that there would be serious fuel scarcity. Infact he has said that we should expect more after Buhari enters because he is sure they will remove fuel subsidy. This will not go down well wiv labour union because they will say why should they remove fuel subsidy wiv no increment of salary and our law makers would still be earning very high income. That is where another problem will start. There is no way Buhari will want to continue paying that subsidy. So my advise is, after this one people should go and buy enough kegs at home and store so u don't be caught unawares. The days of fuel scarcity is back.

This is wat happens wen we spend all our time n energy playing, having sex, partying, watching ball, making babies,lazying around in jobs, being hypocrites etc.
Rather than being a serious nation, thinking of alternative means of power creation and solve other problems.




We never smell anyting.

Uyo.

Aha!
God's own city. The city of refuge, of peace, of progress and the quasi-Seoul of Nigeria. Flanked on the east by the cultural city of Ikot Ekpene and on the far south by the industrial town of Ikot Abasi demarcated by the Atlantic ocean and on the southwest by the oil-rich Ibono and its famed beach.
Uyo, the abode of the son of Mark.

200 ltrs?! Please, where do you live? Just drop the co-ordinates and I will find the storage, I mean your address using Google Earth.
Thank God for NL, would not have known about the rising cost of fuel and the hardship going on. Rush out this morning and bought 50 ltrs at 140. Was fuming at the cost but on reading the comments on NL went back to fill my car.
Thank God I did. Just passed the same station and it's now 160.

Haven't had electricity in a week. Bought three rechargeable small fans that cost about N1000 and attached USB cables to them. They now run off power banks after the inner battery dies. Working on something that will make energy saving bulbs run of finger batteries.
Starting from this week, some banks will work part time due to lack of diesel.
The situation will not break me.

francizy:



Hahahaha, 10 litres of fuel na like diamond oh! No sane man will give that much for a girl's hand in marriage, at least not now... Maybe two litres go do...

My guy, errrm, abeg, you fit waybill me like 20 litres of fuel from UK?

naija1stpikin:
