Kasssandra:


We are not like all those countries because our population is larger than what our earnings from oil can sustain.

That is why we need side Hustle as a country by diversification

Our population grew higher because our leaders that are supposed to invest funds in the right places keeps stealing them...

Around 1980, Nigeria population was 73.42 million... if they pump the right funds into Immigration and border control... we could have stop illegal migration into our country... I'm not saying the foreigner makes up the 130m added today... but our border was too open... we we're giant of Africa... everyone wants to migrate to nigeria... and it was easy for them to do till today!

stevnwigw1:
When I told you north is the problem of this country, this is one of them

No, it is because fuel costs 175 naira here while over the border it costs 300 naira and above in Benin

Smuggling of this kind happens across all borders and involves all Nigerians

I even have seen a southerner on this site state that he was involved in the business

The simple way of ending this is removing subsidy so that fuel costs as much as it does in Benin , Niger Republic and Cameroon. Smuggling will end.

No, it grows because we have a high birth rate, not because immigration.

If we want population reduction we should aim for a birth rate of 1 per woman, not the 3-8 per woman that we have nationwide

Also, resource dependent nation's that are rich have small population less than 40 million people. Even if we closed our borders we would still have a population that cannot be sustained by just oil.

If we want to be like the UAE, we have to produce 3 million bpd and have a population of 15 million people,. If we want to be like Saudi, 10 million bpd and 40 million people.

Nigerian leaders have failed to make us an industrial nation. Which we could have been if we did not subsidies fuel and power and followed our National development plans to the letter.

Slawomir kindly borrow me ur lighter I wan test something

This is a regular business on that route. It's like they changed some people on guard.

It all result to the fault of the Government
Nigeria is just a total failed state...

I just a wish someone new can just turn things around

Please, they should go ahead to burn the petrol just the same way those seized cocaine were burnt.

Lol go find one square meal for your hungry papa first before you attack rich man

Where is that mumu Kasssandra abi na backbencher or even subsidywise? Come and see what is making subsidy increase to unsustainable level.

WTF? How do you smuggle fuel in sacks? Only in 4ucked up zoo called LIEGERIA!

Kingpele:
Wow...the solution to all this nonsense is to have a working refineries that can atleast produce the daily needs of the citizens because I feel is madness and wickedness to the highest level to export crude oil and then import the end products...this is why we should vote out APC and prevent PDP from winning the presidency next year..this two parties are real disaster and badluck to our polity ...if u want to borrow money use it to build good refineries but no they will rather borrow money they will share among themselves..

Truthfully you're point..... BUT do you realize that Nigeria's problem is not about political party but the people involved?


Our "leaders are corrupt to the extent that....they don't mind dinning with the devil to remain politically relevant"


No matter whom you vote for ( APC ,PDP LABOUR PARTY) you'd be surprised to see the same people insulting one another during campaign defecting to the newest ruling party and they corrupt the new candidate thereby diverting all his/her goodwill for the country cos "a single tree can never make a forest"



Change begins from the family through schools to the society cos "charity begins at home"

BigDawsNet:
What belongs to population of about 200m is been stolen daily...

Imagine if our leaders are normal human being! by now... we will be competing with countries like Canada, Yankees, United Kingdom, UAE/Qatar and many more....

But we really don't have the courage to fight for our right! So we just allow them to keep stealing our wealth...

Next year pls vote for the right candidate guys..

Come up with a plan you think we should use since you concluded the majority don't have courage.

Please, let's have deep thoughts before typing words

What of this APC government wey dey dash Niger Republic our resources?

Fiscus105:
Nigerians can take any dangerous and risky paths just because they want to get money. Even if it will wipe out a whole town, they are less not concerned.


I doubt if there is another place called hell apart from naija.

You are also part of the same Nigerians you mentioned and same goes to you

No be small thing here....

Working refineries won't resolve this problem. The end of the fuel subsidy and the deregulation of the price will. Diesel and kerosene aren't being smuggled any longer as their prices have been deregulated.

Many believe this myth that local production will bring down the cost and make it super cheap. It's all a myth. These prices are determined globally and not locally. The international price will be the criteria on how much it is sold locally. Dangote already informed Nigerians that the prices of his refined products will be in dollars.

Nigeria and money are first to die, they rather die

This regime has been the worst ever from the existence of this country. What do expect when there’s hunger in the land? People are ready to do the unimaginable things juz to survive... l

Femich18:
Cool business. The owners of this smuggled product didn't pay that is why they were arrested. Smuggling of petrol is a norm in that axis

Gbam!!

The owner didn't comply

Or probably he is new in the game

Some people risk their lives for money.

.yes o

The higher the risk, the more you gain

Perfectbeing:
End fuel subsidy to stop this.

Without subsidy
Na like N400 you go de pay per litre and every other commodities price go shoot up

Dja1:
Dem no settle from the top

I'm telling you. Especially that idiroko axis, the customs, soldiers and other security agencies there are very good business members.

Only those who fail to settle will be declared arrested.

If you know, you know. It has become part and parcels (I.D).

Kasssandra:


If you want refineries to work in Nigeria, you have to make them profitable
And the only way to make them profitable is by removing subsidy and allowing the market determine the price

But why Dangote never wait for subsidy removal before started building refinery?

This petroleum smuggling has been going on in connivance with customs.The customs are hypocrites.See their big fat belle.Criminals.

Kasssandra:

What about building refineries or giving licences to those Buhari allied illegal refineries operators working in the creek to make them legal?

bonnyhope:

A small price to pay for a better Nigeria.

Even without removing fuel subsidy fuel keeps increasing. Let dem koko remove everything.

They should just wait for Dangote and PH refinery to be finished first tho

Do you know that the crude oil is bought at an OPEC price of maybe $100 per barrel.They will now export it,refined it and import it back without OPEC price.There are many products that is derived from crude oil O.Fuel,diesel engine oil aviation fuel,gas and kerosene.Do you know how much will come out from that $100 barrel of crude?

ednut1:
End subsidy this nonsense will stop.

How many times una wan remove subsidy?Was it not #89 that gej left it before Buhari removed it 3 times that Jack it up to #180?Which subsidy una wan remove again?

These ones just no settle well.

Fix electricity and remove fuel subsidy and no one will complain.

Nigerians are high petroleum product consumers not because we have too many industries or cars. People just need fuel for their “I pass my neighbor” generators and what have you.

In Benin, it’s different. [/quote]
