streetzdreamz:
no matter how hard you try,some people wouldn't still get the picture,in my school the accommodation is solely private owned,and since the beginning of 2015 there has been no electricity in the entire school/environment,the s.u.g did nothing, the school did nothing, the government equally did nothing!we students had to rely on generators all through the year,when the fuel scarcity was at its peak,the gas stations were all locked up,it was only the nnpc mega station that was functional, with a mammoth crowd on daily basis,no student has the time to go line up for hours,more so jerry cans were not sold,so how do we survive if not for black market sellers?the price was high but we were grateful we at least still got the product,I don't see y the op is mad at some guy who decided to adjust his tank capacity to suit the stations policy,rather than direct his anger to the appropriate authorities,he is here screaming bloody murder!!!!!!!!his kind burns petty thieves at the stake,and justifies the real treasury looters,confused beings..
As in, you just murdered this thread!

Thank you very much.

But that's my point. When you patronize black marketers you are perpetuating illegal supply. I know sometimes it is unavoidable but i am under no illusion that it is a good thing.
Some black marketers buy from the service stations and sell to villages where a service station is not situated. Some of the villages even about a 30 mins drive to the service stations.

Some people live behind service stations but they can't buy fuel because they don't own a car or a motorcycle.
In the situations above, is it illegal or legal? In normal circumstances, where everything is in place, it would be illegal regarding the laws against it, but since the government have refused to address some issues that encourage black market, what do you have to say?

NB I'm talking about those that buy from service stations and resale to petty consumers.

I don't think you really understand what black market is. Don't let emotion take over reason. It is never a good thing. Imagine that i am the owner of a filling station in a remote town in Nigeria. I am the only station for miles. You have no choice but to buy from me. I could easily create a black market situation by not selling fuel and creating scarcity. instead of buying from the pumps you would be buying at four hundred percent the price from my agents scattered all over the place. Now, would you still say that is a good thing?
Yes marketers hoard petrol to sell at a higher price in black markets which is very bad and should be tackled by every legal means.

I get what you mean and that's why I used the poor man and gallon example. I'm only making a case for the masses who the government has refused to provide with alternative means of readily getting petroleum products at service stations without a Jerrycan.

I agree with everything but the above. Your argument could as well be used by an armed robber. There is nowhere in the world where black market is a good thing. It exists, yes. But that does not make it a good thing. The ends does not justify the means.
Black market might not be a good thing in America, Saudi Arabia or in Europe because those countries readily have petrol for both industrial and home consumption of their citizens. That's not the case in Nigeria where a poor man cannot buy petrol with gallon just for home use while he is suffering lack of electricity.

In Nigeria, black market is a good thing, the advantages out weighs the disadvantages.
I'm not saying if the man resorted to crime he is justified, no. I just acknowledge his sense of adaptation to law/life rather than lazying about.

omenka:
What sort of warped thought process is this?? How does patronage justify the propriety of their actions??

Why do you always fiercely defend illegalityhuh
Firstly, I didn't exhibit any warped thought process, just appropriate way of thought.

Secondly, I wasn't defending illegality as there's no law in Nigeria banning the use of motorcycle from buying fuel, whether the tank is adjusted or not.

Thirdly, it's not a crime devising a means to adapt to bans/life, stop deriding Nigerians unnecessarily. Would it have been better if those three guys resorted to crime as a means of survival after the ban on black markets? If you haven't seen the usefulness of black market during scarcity, I have and that is why I don't see anything wrong with black market, they don't force you to buy their fuel.

Finally, those guys might not be black marketers. They can be employees in a small scale industry/factory or anything other than black marketers as accused. You can again call it warped process of thought, that's your opinion.

Car Talk › Re: What I Saw At NNPC Gas Station. by Lordave: 2:25pm On Jan 02, 2016
I see nothing wrong with that.

Black marketers don't force people to buy their fuel and they've also been a saving grace to many drivers during scarcity.

I foresee APC gather 200 young girls and present them as rescued Chibok girls. I also foresee their followers raining encomium on Buhari for the successful rescue.

I guess your 80% is that ant vote Otti got from the minority ohuhus? It is clear to everyone that UkwaNgwa vote will always topple whatever number the entire ohuhu's in Abia can produce. Let's see if supreme court will also ask us to create our own state.
My brother, Ohuhus or whatever you call them are not a minority I Abia. If every clan/tribe should unite against the Ngwas, who would have the numbers?
