Fuel in Benin is N489 right now.

And right now, fuel in Nigeria is N488-540 per liter.

At the end of the day, smugglers cannot make a profit at all. Removing subsidy has made it difficult for anyone to smuggle fuel across the border.

And people ask me why I say subsidy must go...well here is one good reason.

Modified

If fuel was still N195, and I was living on the border, I can buy fuel into two 50l jerrycans, at N19500, cross the broder and sell it at dobule the price, and earn a cool N40000. Note that it was not only big cabals involved in the smuggling...it was also small poor boys and gals too.

This is pure propaganda

How is these products finding their way to those countries. No one have been sacked for not doing his job in securing our borders or arrested by the security agencies for smuggling



Instead of tackling the issues, they keep running
around

ZombiePUNISHER:


Where was this your sense in 2012 when Jonathan removed fuel subsidy
you went to ojota with Tinubu to embarrass your generation..

Why can't a responsible government man her boarders... just like saying because of bandits farmers can't go to the farm.. why can't the government eradicate them?..

where you a tout in 2012?

Bobloco:
I knew that they will come out with this propaganda

We are waiting for Niger, Togo, Chad and Cameroon

All to justify this thoughtless decision by Tinubu

Instead of fixing refineries, blocking leakages, having an effective and efficient border patrol to arrest and prosecute these smugglers

It is true. I was in Port Novo last year and I saw how they all buy fuel from road side instead of petrol stations.

Ken4Christ:


Nigeria should fix our refineries to operate to full capacity and supply other West Africa countries fuel. And by so doing, make so much money.

But because of selfishness, they destroyed our refineries and buy share in Dangote refinery making themselves rich at the expense of the nation. What a country.

All I know is that Nigerians don't take this country seriously. There's no way Benin Republic will be enjoying our subsidy without Nigerian customs and other border patrol agencies getting their share of the largasse.

He can subsidize and block leakages

Those of you doubting this smuggling stuff know nothing.

These people even transport/smuggle petrol in jerrycans with boats.

nafisu:
my time there, I didn't even know they had fuel stations, almost everyone bought from roadside.fuel everyone knew where it came from.

At the end, we can't be subsidizing the whole of West Africa.
