The video is unbearably sad to watch. They laughed at him after the first failed attempt at suicide by hanging. Then he went and bought sniper (some idiot actually sold it to him) and drank it. And the same idiot, or maybe another, was still filming. Even in his agony, yet another fool holding a machete dragged him out by the leg.

Police should just come to that area and arrest every living thing there.

and when you go to Facebook you'll see women saying the men aren't doing enough. Those kinda posts get me soooo annoyed

I never bother with those. I usually block them.

Sad but true. The average Nigerian man today is feeding his family with his own flesh.

No offense, but allowing underage school kids to carry a coffin is insanely stupid.

If you remove this religion, world peace would be achievable.

Sane question to ask: who were the attackers?

No Muslim should w..nk on this yet until we know who the attackers were.

nairalanda1:
Iran also has debt that is larger than Nigeria's and is also losing 5.2 billion dollars to smuggling to Afghanistan and Pakistan of subsidised fuel.

On top of sanctions.

The government has wanted to remove subsides for years. IN 2019 they did a partial removal of subsides. THe result was riots on the streets of iran that nearly brought down the government.

They can make components of refineries at home, so that helps a bit with costs, but it is still a strain on their economy.

Even what you quoted, it shows that their government can only afford subsidy to some level. If you e xceed that level, you pay more.

And Nigeria’s crisis is corruption first and too much of borrowing. Theyre fiscally paralyzed because debt servicing swallows over half of our actual revenue, leaving nothing behind to fix the economy

HacheNoire:
Who told you the lie?

Google is your friend!

So how much is a litre of fuel in Iran today?

Don't answer, let me help you.

Iran operates on a three-tier subsidized quota system. But let me just skip the first two and go straight to their non-subsidized rate, which is 100,000 rials per litre.

100,000 Iranian Rials is worth approximately ₦96.44.

Nigeria's fuel price of 1,400 naira (and still climbing) per litre is 1,351.7% more expensive than Iran's highest non-subsidized fuel tier. To look at it from the other direction, a litre of fuel in Iran is 93.1% cheaper than it is in Nigeria.

Iran is right in the middle of war right now and they still sell cheaper fuel than Nigeria, an oil producing state. Shame on all of you blaming Trump for your evil Islamic rulership problems.

She's doing runs.

He's riding okada.

To your tents, Oh Israel!

LOL! This is really funny. Let me just not say what's in my mind coz it won't sound funny at all.

Devil incarnates. They've been tolerated too much that they're getting more daring now. Everyone has the right to live their lives however they want and make their own choices. You can identify as a pig, cat or goat and choose to screw your washing machine...that's your choice. But trying to shove your dirty rags in the faces of people is skyhigh silly. Try this Uganda or Nigeria and learn the hard way.

Why Filling a Car Tank in Nigeria Costs 30 Times More Than in Iran

For the average Nigerian motorist, driving past a filling station has become a daily exercise in economic anxiety. With the current pump price locked at ₦1,300 per litre, the simple act of commuting now eats up a massive portion of the household budget.

But what happens when you compare Nigeria’s energy realities with another major oil-producing nation? A deep dive into the numbers between Nigeria and Iran as of September 2026 reveals a staggering global disparity in fuel pricing, local purchasing power, and government responsibility.

The Direct Currency Shock: ₦40 vs. ₦1,300

Both Nigeria and Iran sit on some of the world’s largest crude oil reserves and are prominent members of OPEC. Yet, what citizens pay at the pump couldn't be further apart.If you convert the Iranian Rial directly into Nigerian Naira using real-world open-market exchange rates, the pricing gap is jaw-dropping:

Subsidized Quota Petrol in Iran: ~₦40 per litre

Open-Market (Non-subsidized) Petrol in Iran: ~₦135 per litre

Current Petrol Price in Nigeria: ₦1,300 per litre

To put this into perspective, filling a standard 50-litre vehicle tank costs an Iranian driver roughly ₦2,000 using their monthly government quota. To fill that exact same 50-litre tank in Nigeria at current rates costs exactly ₦65,000.

The Minimum Wage Real-Value Divide

Raw price tags only tell half the story. The true impact of fuel pricing is measured by how much a citizen earns relative to what they must spend to move around.

When we stack Nigeria's national minimum wage against Iran's, the economic burden on Nigerian households becomes starkly apparent.

Monthly Minimum Wage:
🇳🇬 Nigeria: ₦70,000 per month

🇮🇷 Iran: 166,255,500 IRR (equivalent to about ₦230,000 on the real market)

Estimated Daily Income:
🇳🇬 Nigeria: ~₦2,333 per day
🇮🇷 Iran: ~₦7,666 per day

Price of 1 Liter of Petrol:
🇳🇬 Nigeria: ₦1,300 per litre
🇮🇷 Iran: ~₦40 (Subsidized Quota) | ~₦135 (Open Market)

What 1 Day of Minimum Wage Buys:

🇳🇬 In Nigeria: A worker can buy just 1.7 litres of petrol with their whole day's wage. One single liter takes 55% of their daily earnings.
🇮🇷 In Iran: A worker can buy over 190 litres of subsidized petrol with their day's wage. One litre takes less than 1% of their daily earnings.

War, Sanctions, and the Myth of a "Fuel-Less" Iran
This disparity becomes even more profound when considering geopolitical contexts. Mainstream international media narratives frequently suggest that Iran has entirely run out of fuel or that its economy has ground to a total halt under the weight of external pressures. The reality on the ground as of September 2026 tells a more nuanced story. While it is true that Iran is navigating an active regional conflict, a severe U.S. naval blockade on its ports, and devastating infrastructure sanctions, the country has not run out of fuel. Despite supply chain bottlenecks, lines at filling stations, and strict rationing protocols designed to curb panic-buying, the Iranian government continues to successfully maintain and distribute heavily subsidized petroleum products to its citizens.

The fact that an administration under siege, dealing with wartime disruptions, can still guarantee ₦40-per-liter fuel for its population directly challenges Western narratives of total domestic collapse.

A Question of Government Responsibility
For Nigerian citizens, Iran's wartime economic resilience raises a painful, unavoidable question about domestic governance. If a nation battling economic blockades and military threats can insulate its populace from energy poverty, what is Nigeria's excuse?

Nigeria is currently at peace, has access to open global shipping lanes, and is celebrating the launch of major local refining assets like the Dangote Refinery. Yet, the Nigerian government opted to fully dismantle its fuel subsidy program, exposing its citizens to a crushing ₦1,300 per litre price tag while national minimum wages remain stagnant at ₦70,000 a month.

Critics argue that this speaks volumes about the priorities and structural irresponsibility of the Nigerian leadership. Rather than managing local resources to protect the vulnerable—as even blockaded nations manage to do—the local administration has transferred the full weight of economic mismanagement, currency devaluation, and inflation straight onto the shoulders of everyday citizens.

The Bottom Line
The comparison highlights a painful reality. While deregulation may be defended as a fiscal necessity by policymakers, the transition has placed an unprecedented, crushing energy burden on the average Nigerian. Until local wages rise to match the true cost of living or domestic refining yields true relief, the simple act of buying fuel will remain an unaffordable luxury in Nigeria—proving that even in the midst of a war, some governments prioritize citizen welfare far better than those at peace.

The Falconets lost to Spain in their u-20 W opener, while D'Tigress fell to France in the FIBA World Cup. Naptu2 saw it all and just kept quiet. No problem.

The Indian accent is horrible. Thanks to the ai subtitle that struggled to keep up so we could get something out of the news, at least.

I think I lost some brain cells when I heard the reporter say "Straight or Homos". Whatever that mean... Good luck to them.

Clutching at anything to find consolation. The fall of terrorists is indeed great.

Nigeria is once again giving these gwara-gwara animals another justification for Nigerians living in South Africa to be targeted or killed.*Spit.*

Because he knows how to "murder" her in the other room.

It's just so sad how Nollywood actors, especially the veterans end up poor. I can't begin to count the number of Nigerian actors who have lost their lives to sickness due to lack of fund. Nollywood is so underrated.

We don't care whether Israelis hate Christians or not. We are just comfortable that they know how to deal with terror Muslims. So your attempt to inject that anti-Israeli venom in Christians will never work. Deal with your nemesis alone.

It's really hard to be an Islamic terrorist supporter at this time that Iran is being decimated. Anything to make them happy.

A decision she's going to regret in a week's time.

Bunkums already blaming Iran war instead of owning up to their failure.

madridguy:
The majority of EU power block has told Trump to face his war alone. France, Germany, Spain, and Italy

US is 101% stronger than your terrorist nation. Iran can also set up bases near US border and bomb them, let's know who would cry last.

I know you're hurting. Wipe them tears. The main pummeling is yet to begin.

Wait, did Messi provide the last assist with his right foot? For someone so famously left-footed, that is absolutely incredible. Next level wizardry.

At least, this match will tell haters that Argentina win against Egypt wasn't a fluke.

Suddenly, Tuchel is a bad coach because he lost to Argentina. How about accepting Argentina have a better team? If not for the keeper, it would have ended 1-5.

So they're going to bury this old evil Islamic terrorist like that without his nose?

Israel blew off his nose and they couldn't locate it. Now they want to bury him without that body part. That's evil.
