The answer is simple.

Kano is where the ships bringing the imported petrol dock. They now add bridging cost to send it to the North where Lagos and Ibadan are. That's why it's cheap in Lagos and expensive in Kano.

Most of you know the answer if you weren't clouded by ethnic sentiments.

It cost money to transport the refined crude to the North. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize this.

The head of the NNPC is even from the North!

Can tomato be cheaper in Lagos than in Kaduna? Can yams be cheaper in Ibadan than Benue where it is produced in large numbers.

Oga, you can do better.

I think you meant Lagos is where the ships dock

I just saw NNPC new list and it showed that fuel will be sold cheapest in the South West and most costly in the North. Why such wickedness? Is it because Tinubu is a Yoruba man and has decided to punish other Nigerians more?

Is this what emilokan is all about?

Already, three of the people he has employed to work for him are all Yorubas!

I hope it's not what I'm thinking because Nigerians will collectively resist him and his bigotry.

Below is the new price list from NNPC!

Simple, subsidy has gone.

An important part of subsidy was the money paid to transporters to compensate them for losses made in transporting the fuel from area of collection to final destination. I think it was called bridging cost.

Now that has gone, and thus cost of fuel would differ per distance from the port.

Hopefully, NNPC is fixing its refineries. That means that crude would be pumped to NNPC's refinery at Kaduna to be sold to refineries across the North, reducing the cost.

Another way cost can be reduced is fixing the railways...which is why Lagos =-kANO has to be fixed fast...ditto Port HARCOURT-Maiduguri.

Look at this one. Do you even know the meaning of impersonation? You saw Proeast, yet you're saying gibberish about impersonation. Did I ever suggest or claim to be from North?

Igbos are known to be fair to all, unlike selfish people like you that want Northerners to pay more for fuel while you pay less as a yorubaman. That's wickedness!

proeast:


Proximity or not, it doesn't make sense! Nigerians in all regions have same minimum wage. Fuel is a basic necessity in Nigeria upon which other factors of production rely upon.

When you give SW such unfair advantage, you make other regions less viable and less productive relative to SW.

If this government want to favour only Yorubas against other Nigerians then he should be ready because Nigerians will collectively resist him!

we all know cost of transporting fuel each are not equal so the price of will never be equal

proeast:


Continue trying to be smart by half. Food is grown more in the North but is fuel gotten from the SW? So why using such ridiculous comparison?

If fuel should be cheapest anywhere in Nigeria using your analogy, it should be in the SS!

Just know that Nigerians are no fools and we won't accept such crass tribalism in government.

It can't be the cheapest in SS because its no longer subsidise, putting logistic and proximity into consideration:

(1) Cost of importation through Lagos port is cheaper compared to every other ports if am not wrong
(2) point of sale in SW is closer to the port through which it was imported, less will be spend on distribution of fuel due to its proximity compared to extra cost of transporting it to SS via trailers.

I'm not against removing subsidy, I even supported removing it way back in 2012! However, what I hate is injustice. It's wickedness for people in Ekiti that does not know what crude oil looks like and many of them have not even seen a ship or ocean to pay 500 while Akwa Ibom and Delta that are major oil producing states and equally coastal will have to pay more? Where is the justice in that

Are people in Delta and Akwa Ibom fools to you?

Why would a minimum wage earner buy fuel at 500 in Ibadan and another minimum wage earner buys fuel at 557 in Maiduguiri, can't you see you've automatically made them poorer?!

Is this how Tinubu want to transfer Nigeria's wealth to his people alone?

LegendHero:


Tinubu will transfer wealth to everybody because he is not a bigot like that Peter Obi who is a pretender of national repute.

Awolowo is a leader than no Ibo man dead or alive can overshadow. That’s a fact!

I was smiling when you were trying to reason with him diplomatically because I knew he would soon upset you with his irrationality.

There are more ports in SS than SW, or are you suggesting the government also made Lagos port the point of entry so that SW will benefit more at the expense of others?

proeast:


Yorubaman, will you say the same thing if fuel is cheapest in other places and most costly in SW?

You people should continue with your propaganda, Nigerians are watching!

well he is telling the truth, and its why nigeria needs to invest in ports and river infrastructure

LegendHero:


Peter Obi will cow at the end if he had implemented it. He would have rushed back to reverse it like Jonathan because he dosen’t have that balls.

If they do small protest in Lagos and threaten him, he will come crying on TV reversing his decision.

I always look at people that blame Tinubu for Jonathan weakness. Opposition will always oppose, a strong government proceed with his plan of its very sure it’s for the greater good.

Jonathan is a very nice man but he is a weak president. He shouldn’t have caved in to the threats back then.

So a president that disregards the objections of the people is one you favor? please just pack up and leave to north korea or iran, maybe russia, they call it
snowgeria

LegendHero:


Bro it is the market condition. Think nao!

Food is less costly in the North and more costly in the SW. How many times have you seen me as a Yoruba man blame the Hausa and Buhari for that?

If you were against subsidy, you would have expceted this to happen. (Someone educated me on that issue some years ago...so I am not surprised).

That's why we got to 1) fix the railways, and 2 ) Fix the refineries...already in progress...and the pipeline system that NNPC used to have that worked very well in the 1980's....which would ensure that fuel is piped as far as the North...ensuring a cut in prices.


But the day when we had cheap fuel is over. Selling and making fuel is really a business. It is not a socialist enterprise. Trying to make it one is why we entered the mess of bad refineries and supporting infrastructure in the first place.

Maazieze:

If point of entry is the reason, then SS has far more ports than SW. The question is, why is NNPC not using those ports to import fuel?

They use policies to kill those ports and channel all maritime activity to Lagos then turn around and tell you that fuel should be cheaper in Ekiti than P.H?

Oh please stop wt the wailing. All our petroleum is imported. Crude is not petrol. NONE of our refineries are refining anything!

All petroleum imports enter through Lagos. All the tank farms dt store them direct from the ships are in Apapa. Tankers go from there to the rest of the country. Many of the pipelines dt are built to reduce transport costs are usually damaged by we Nigerians, dts why it goes by road.
By the time the refinery starts working prices will fall and when BUA refinery also starts in Akwa Ibom, dt axis will be much cheaper.

Let’s focus on what’s important. The main thing we should be asking from this government is Power, now that fuel is not affordable for businesses. Whatever savings must be directed to electricity in order to drive down business cost.

The people will always object.

Almost all human being are afraid of change. They will always exert pressure and as a leader you should be able to go with conviction in your policy if you know it’s gonna benefit in the long run.

Almost all developed countries went through a period where the people had to revolt to some developmental policies, the government just had to forge on and people see the benefit later.

proeast:


What wrong impression? You're defending this gross injustice because you're a yorubaman and you think it benefits you.

Minimum wage is uniform across Nigeria but fuel will be cheapest in SW?!

Do you know the multiplier effect of having fuel cheap in the SW and expensive in other parts of Nigeria? That extra 57 naira on each litre would amount to hundreds of billions lost in other parts of Nigeria, particularly NE. It will lead to further job losses in those regions. Lead to things being more expensive there than in SW. It will also lead to massive relocation of people from the disadvantaged states to the SW. Are you willing to accept that huge influx? Won't you guys start feeling insecure as you're already doing with Igbos and Hausas?

You can't pay same minimum wage and sell fuel cheaper in SW. Never!

am not a Yoruba, but am only explaining to you, what could be their thinking.
you have a point there, that's why this stoppage of fuel subsidy without initially engaging the stake holders, where all these your misgivings could be addressed, is not the best.
however it's left for the citizens to seriously raise all these issues with the government and to make sure that the money that will be accrued from the fuel subsidy stoppage are not plundered by corrupt political elites.

Bigotry is all written over the thread.
I guess the OP can't stand any positivity from the SW. He singled out the SW. He didn't ask why it's cheaper in the whole south compared to the north, instead he singled out the region of President Tinubu.

Please, my people should stop replying the guy. At least you've tried to educate him why it's like that.

From page 1 up to this page 3.
If the OP has no ulterior motive, he should have relented by now with what has been discussed so far.

In reality, it most costly in South West.

Besides, I don't even see the difference in this price.

chidiokay:



Lets just say i am talking above your brain capacity, if not you won't miss the point

SS produces cruel oil which is not consumable until its refined, all refined fuel lands in Lagos and are distributed from Lagos depot .. cost of transportation to various state varies hence the variation in fuel prices across Nigeria, common sense should tell you why its cheaper in Lagos now olodo simple analogy o gbe gba gii

IF south south produces fuel ready for consumption plus depots.. fuel will be cheaper in SS more than any place in Nigeria .. olodo rabata

Thread like this makes Yorubas to be greatful to Pa Obafemi Awolowo for the quality of education he made available to us in the SW.

proeast:

I stated it that the cost of importation via Lagos port is cheaper compared to SS ports, this will also affects the prices in SS. Government isn't paying for anything again so, the importer will decide based on importation price to get to each destination. Government has removed their hand on subsidised fuel, the reason why the price is the same in the country before was due to the fact that it was subsidised. The price within countries will vary without subsidy.

Lol, I just dey look the olodo. It seems they've set a trap for him already and he fell into it completely

Did you say 2027? He won't even stay there till then if he doesn't reverse this nonsense immediately.

And you and your family is set to be miserable this way till 2031.

proeast:


These people can be very funny. Imagine trying to justify rubbish because it favours them. They think they're wise while other Nigerians are foolish.

Imagine fuel cheaper in Ekiti state that has no drop of oil and also landlocked but more expensive in Delta and Akwa Ibom that are major oil producing states and also coastal

Imagine selling fuel at 500 in Oyo state but 540 in Kano and 557 in Maiduguiri?

Tinubu has truly proven already that he does not believe in one Nigeria. He wants to transfer Nigeria's wealth to his people completely. Imagine the audacity!

I blame that guy for wasting his time with you. Please, do your worst.
