^^^ if public electricity was just a little constant then not many people would be buying in jerry cans in Port Harcourt but alas the people suffer.

The period in question was when the subsidy fraud hit the heavenly clouds. The availability of fuel then was a good cover up. Mr President and his team was very right about deregulating completely.

Right now, it is no longer business as usual but as far as goverment is still paying subsidy, fraudulent activities including diverting and hoarding of fuel will continue.

In Port Harcourt Amechi is threatening to shut down filling stations selling fuel to jerry cans: I think he should better mount cameras that will send a 24 hr feed back to him. Nobody will hoard or divert fuel if government removes hand from it.

Nigerians are being fooled; subsidy regime is penny wise.

It hurts when Nigerians cook up the absurd in order to explain the unexcusable.

What period of subsidy fraud are you speaking of? The one that after which the Government finally admitted had nothing to do with the so-called Cabal which he initially made all believe existed? Or the period in which we are now where the same Government that told us that the cost was pumped with fraud has gone ahead to pump equivalent amount as before into?

We need to learn to deal with what reality is more and more, rather than continue to find for our minds, escapes and delusions.

The current situation is that the same Government that told us the reason the cost fuel subsidy program hit the high tag, previously at about N1.3 Trillion for per litre cost of N67,  was because it wrought with fraud, only some days ago, budgetted over 888 billion  for the new per litre cost of N94.
Simple Math would tell you that does not make, and should not make sense at all if we are to believe what we were fed by the Government on this. It should even make you wonder why, if truly is the case that there was fraud in the last caused mainly by the marketers, why the new, supposedly less fraudulent program, still costs almost as much as the old.

So, sorry but your claim that it is no longer business as usual is yet to be proven.

Nigerians are definitely being fooled, and unfortunately, it seems people like you are the ones who are being fooled into thinking all is SUDDENLY well . . . . something that seems to be the pattern with those who choose to escape their reality down there. 

Any who,I believe this scarcity is to be expected what with the SUDDEN witch hunting of Oil Marketers in response to the continuing belief that they are to blame for the high cost of the last subsidy and party to blame for it's removal. Marketers are bound to be cautious as they are not likely not certain what this Government now plans to do next.
