Consequences Of The Fuel Crisis, How It Affects Nigerians. by tobeetoe(m): 2:03pm On May 24, 2015 |
Goodday Nigerians and Happy Sunday, I bring you greetings from an intrinsic heart of mine which clamours for positive change and increment in developments. I woke up this morning not suffering from cold but from the versa. I then asked my uncle who is into oil and gas if this was the worst fuel crisis, he replied yes. A part of me nodded and confirmed it was true, after remembering the news I read last night on some popular news blogs and forums which talked about how mtn will shut down in the next 24 hours if there is no or less availability of diesel, same with beat fm and city fm. So now, here are the consequences of fuel scarcity. Water: We all know that water is been pumped out from the ground with a machine powered by generators which uses fuel and basically electricity, since there is no light, the usual way is to switch on your generator and pump, but with the advent of the fuel crisis, we at a zero point of having water in some days from now if this continues. Starvation : Virtually all food are cooked and made using kerosene and maybe gas. An little-less-than average Nigerian uses Kero. Now with the advent of fuel scarcity most fuel stations don't have kero and even those that have, has refused to sell, since there has not been fuel, which they all assume is the main source of income to them. Minor production in candles: Based on my little knowledge in chemistry, an sure to know and tell you that candles are made from petroleum. An average man falls back to candles when there is no fuel or other cases, but candles might also become gold in some days from now. Poor transportation: We are quite sure that buses, cars, lorries and trailers uses fuel and some uses diesel to power their vehicles and bikes. Now that there is no fuel, we would have more trekkers in every city who won't get rewarded for it unlike the past few days (lol). Power Supply: Generator uses dynamos to generate electricity and fuel for other stuffs in the generator, now that there is no fuel and power supply, there would be an increased rate in darkness, and our phones, laptops and other devices won't be powered as a result of the fuel scarcity. Poverty: we might not really know about this, but if this fuel stuff increases there won't be money anywhere, transporting foods would be very expensive since transportation is costly, prices of foods and other things would increase drastically and would Move Nigeria and Nigerians to a concrete level of poverty as a result of prices of goods and even services. Even banks won't work, ATM's I mean. Hospitals, banks, newspapers, television stations, phone companies, radio companies would probably close down as a result of this fuel scarcity, which is not good in a nation where there are still strong cases of insurgency. Nigerians would be in the dark. I am therefore pleading on behalf of other citizens, to the government, Nupeng and those who are concerned, to please rescind this strike and allow free flow of fuel in Nigeria, unlike other countries, we have crude oil in our nation and yet we are still suffering. If there is no action taken, Nigeria of 2015 would be similar to the Nigeria of the 80's. No technology can survive without power. I also implore the Electricity distribution of Nigeria to Pity us. I would also like to tag this post as the "Consequences of voting out an incumbent president" . Farewell Nigerians. The main source of this article and where it was posted is http://tbthealth..com |
