From 70s to early 80.
It was stop because of dubious practices by marketers selling ordinary petrol as super.
But you may still be lucky to buy super petrol in Nigeria if the fuel is locally refined. No importer brings super petrol into the country because most of them go for the cheapest option.
But I don't know that of Dangote's nao ooo.

I don't know about Petrol, but I heard from various Users that Dangote's Diesel is good.

Probably through eye test sha.

MorataFC:
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I was reading too but I got tired as some point.

He made a lot of sense to me sha.

The Shia Muslims have a different ideology than Sunni Muslims. The ones bombing Nigeria everywhere are Sunnis

So if Iran says they are actually going to support Nigeria to fight terrorism, it's definitely to fight Sunni Muslims, which they don't even like at all.

The Shia Muslims are the oppressed ones in Nigeria

MorataFC:
Nigeria once operated a two-grade petrol system too.
The lower grade was known as “Ordinary,” while the higher grade was called “Super.”

I think it was due to economic challenges, the dubious practices of some petrol marketers who sold ordinary petrol as super, or importation issues that both grades were eventually merged into a single petrol type.

Thouh ordinary petrol and super petrol still exist in Nigeria. You might be lucky to buy super petrol if you happen to get fuel that is refined locally, but they are no longer differentiated by price.

Really?

Was this like in the 80s or 90s?

I would really love to see us have the rated options for vehicles.

Most of our Petrol and Diesel these days ehn.

"Check engine light" don dey permanent for almost all cars for Nigeria

I know no Nigerian born of a woman can do better than Tinubu, but how can a data like this make sense to you?

If 4 years cannot change Nigeria, should it be enough to make it worse?

The way Dangote and Importers go exploit this war issue ehn, na all of us go beg Trump to stop.

Nothing stops Petrol from getting to 1,500 this week.

I bought 1200 somewhere in Ogun state today.

Ellexy:
One of the hardest things these days is to go online and not see one disturbing news after another about this country.....

It better be that Baba don japa, sign for another club for another country.

Abeg oh

Emaprince:
Nigeria is sinking deeper and deeper into a mess...and people are seriously starving and dieing. But instead of focusing on the issue at hand, na Peter OBi or Atiku wey no get hand in how the affairs of the country is being run out be their concern. Smh

We don see Starboy at work nau

GloriousGbola:
Well they are in the running and it is a platform for them to tell tell the world what they will do better.

Of course, when the election draws near, they will have that space to tell us.

But I would wonder what level of convincing one needs to let Tinubu handle security, after hearing that 11,000 plus died alone in 2025.

That's worse than 8,000 plus he achieved in 2023

GloriousGbola:
now that APC has been thoroughly dismantled, is ADC ready to send peter obi and atiku for an interview with Medhi tho?:

What part of Nigeria is Obi and/or Atiku responsible for?

Ellexy:
.

"Daniel Bwala disowns his past words"

That headline would stick forever

A Nigerian woman ke?

Abeg oh. Make una carry una trophy

Diesel = 1,420
Petrol = 920

raumdeuter:
Watching the whole thing, It wasnt as bad as I initially thought from those snippets

Like I said, Daniel didnt have to deny, just say you have new information now and every rational human change their opinion based on new info

Also Mehdi is a fast talker and trying to match him will do you no good cos Mehdi is reading questions and you have to think of responses

Also I give Bwala credit, cos If I tried to keep up with Mehdi's speech speed I will likely start stuttering, Bwala didnt which is a positive

Na people like you dey make these people mediocre day by day

Even Tuggar that was grilled was not bad.

Daniel didn't have any rebuttal for most of what he was asked by Mehdi. At some point, he said Amnesty doesn't say anything good. Just beer parlor defense tactics

This is a Media and Publicity figure for a country. I can tolerate Seyi being roasted, but someone who cannot even do his job well is something else.

Sotey, audience begin laugh.

Credit ko, Debit ni

killsmith:
That guy was grilled. The smile was a coping mechanism.

This guy spoke my mind.

A Media adviser should know who he is up against, not casually rocking the chair like person wey wan come collect Chieftaincy title

patrickmuf:
Bwala just disgraced himself and the administration. I am sure that guy, Ajuri, who resigned, would've done much better.

Thank you.

There's nothing brilliant about this at all.

The guy had data. Why not use data to buttress your own point?

Kept on smiling unnecessarily

semid4lyfe:
Daniel Bwala wasn't flustered or agitated at any point in the interview.
He was calm, composed, genial and conceded a few points.

He even launched some offensive salvos using Keir Starmer and Donald Trump to draw comparison and push back at Mehdi Hassan.

He emphasized that context matters for a lot of the things he said in the past.

He disputed some data and figures that Mehdi Hassan was reeling out.

I could go on and on.

Again, considering how difficult it is to defend PBAT , I think Daniel Bwala did okay.

He was actually confused and even began to laugh. Mehdi had to caution him for laughing.

When he was asked about Bagudu; a man who returned $163 million and is now a Minister of Budget, he was laughing.

You cannot be representing a country and be laughing when they are throwing rocks and shades at you.

raumdeuter:
I didnt watch the entire entire, Just the snippets posted here and Bwala didnt do well there, He seemed unprepared

One of the best tactics in political argument is to be ready to concede some grounds. You cannot defend everything. And be prepared

Nowadays what stops Bwala from having some talking points jotted down or even have an iPad where he can use to juggle his memory

Its not a difficult task defending Tinubu at all, Only Insecurity is the hard part, which you can get ahead of. Others are very easy to defend

No one is easy, to be honest.

You can only enjoy some breather in economy, and that's all. The rest needs you to be able to stay on at least one strong point, or concede quickly.

It's always the loudest and empty headed that usually go to defend Tinubu. The Bright minds of his government no fit do all these ones

Emaprince:
Guy it was shameful.

Those oyobo ladies especially.

Nigerians already know the drill..and how these crooks give barefaced lies to the public because nothing will happen. Bit those oyibo ladies arent used to this kind of shames lies and denial of everything he said.

I understand that some of these appointments are political, but you wey dem appoint, at least brush yourself with the necessary skills and research.

You cannot be the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, and you cannot even try to deflect well, or even put up something coherent as a defense.

E come be like Stand up abi na Sit down comedy

raumdeuter:
na our anyhowness we carry everywhere without planning for fairly obvious questions

You know as a spokesman of Tinubu, in 10 questions 4 will be about insecurity, 3 will be of past records and 2 will be of current economy

He just went there to freestyle and got stripped nakeed

No use of data in anything he said.

No part where he projected ways in which Tinubu is trying

Just embarrassing himself.

raumdeuter:
Why cant Nigerian spokesmen think on their feet

Bullion van issue, How do you know what is inside a bullion van

Bwala will say I claimed it was "alleged"

Bwalas defence should have been that no one saw money in the vans. Anyone that saw money should state how much they saw with evidence and be ready to defend it in court

Exactly!

I know it would be hard to defend most of what was said there, but the sheer will to be dumb is what's disgusting.

See as those small girls wan choke with laugh

So, I don't know if these guys personally do a research or even prepare for such invitations.

I can understand if the defense would be tough to put up, but the kind of poor delivery they give should get them sacked to be honest

Someone told you that the Air Force made accidental bombings twice. He actually read from the Air Force report.

Bwala: I don't believe it's true

See as small small girls dey laugh Bwala

She wants to run for Senate in 2027. That's why!

May it never be well with all these enemies of Nigeria

Please what does NRGC mean?

Na IRGC I know!

Amoto94:
The cost of cooking gas in 🇳🇬 increased to N1400 per kg because of the Israel/🇺🇸 - Iran conflict

Let's rejoice because Iran's warships were sunk by the USA .

Petrol - 930 (Lagos being the cheapest)
Diesel - 1140 (Lagos being the cheapest)

But but.....Iran cannot assemble any structure of leadership again.

By the time we pay 1200 for Petrol, understanding will come by force

Mtcheeeeewww

Odunharry:
Didn't know Egunje is tax until now. 9ja my country

It is not Egunje tax oh.

There are many taxes that are extorted from Motorists on highways

All those trailers that carry food items, wood usually pay Produce tax along the highways. Within a state, you can see up to three check points on the road

There are also those Local government taxes they collect. They will be selling it as tickets and stickers.

It's usually rampant in Southern Nigeria. The Northerners don't have all these nonsense as such.

But SE, SS, SW? Na the home of extortion

The money wey dem don release nko?

All these ones na story

Until I see the Government arresting those touts who mount roadblocks in the whole of Southern Nigeria, na tales by Moonlight be this

GloriousGbola:
$100 bills are the preferred note for buying and selling dollars on the black market

You may not get the same amount for 5 $20 bills as you will for 1 $100 bill

Unfortunate skill issue \learning point

When I enter okada I have exact change or I ask to see change before we take off

That's not Nigeria nau. That's SA.

Abi na me no understand well?

And besides, the difference isn't much. Maybe 50 naira or so.

raumdeuter:
WHo is at fault shey na izzou wey carry all night and paid her $140 in $20 notes or the lady who is insisting on $100 note

VIDEO PROOF!

They agreed on $140 for a one-night knack.

They finished and the guy brought out the agreed amount to pay, but in $20 notes.

The lady saw he had $100 notes and refused to collect the $20, insisting he pay her with the $100 notes.

Who is at fault?✍️ https://t.co/bukJJQqooU pic.twitter.com/AohREHdYDx

Seems like there's an underlying issue already.

I refuse to believe that this is all to the story
