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.
