1) No matter how many times you tell a lie, a lie is a lie and it won't become truth.

I provide information for those who want it, but I am not interested in convincing anyone about anything. That is a complete waste of time and doesn't do anything for me. The troll keeps repeating this story about "convincing" and "encouraging", but repeating it won't change anything. These people are adults and they can make up their own minds. Whether they choose to use CNG or choose not to use CNG, it doesn't add anything to my life and I couldn't give a damn about it.

2) The idea that a user experience will change the mind of a troll is false. It has already played out on my threads.

I have often said that these systems are hybrid, that is, they use both CNG and petrol and you can switch between the two sources of power. The chairman of Innoson said it, Gazzuz said it, etc. Yet this guy came and said that it is not possible. Did you see me try to convince him? No, I left him in his ignorance.

However, two people that have owned CNG vehicles came and gave their testimonies and told the guy how it works. Did the guy accept it? No, he simply said that it was a lie. So what did the testimonies of the owners do? Did they convince him?

Like I said, I can say anything, I can say, "Yes, I have converted my car" or "No, I have not converted my car", it won't change anything and I am not interested in wasting my time trying to change anything.

Let's ginger them.

Wake up, wake up, it's time to get to work. We must hit 18k.

Looks like the game is back on.

Are we going to get to 18k?

(What the hell is my business with encouraging anyone to do anything? Am I their father?)

@Naptu2,

Succinctly stated.

I appreciate the EXTRA clarifications you've made here. it's a free market like you've stated and people have a right of choice to patronize whoever they want for their CNG supplies.

In the final analysis, since there's a national emergency OR sense of urgency by the governments at all levels in Nigeria to lower the cost of public transportation and haulage of goods by food trucks from the farm gates, thereby driving down hyperinflation and cost of goods by over 60 % in the medium to long-term, it then becomes VERY important for NNPCL and NIPCO which sell CNG within the N200 to N250 price band to build more CNG stations in states that have the most registered vehicle concentrations. The N450 cost of CNG per standard cubic feet at the engineering companies CNG stations (though still way cheaper than the more expensive PMS), could lead to excuses by some greedy transporters who would still want to make quick profits by charging the normal higher fares and hence affect the uniformity or harmonization in the long-awaited cheaper public transportation fares. A strict price control will have to be introduced immediately because based off of what an Abuja-based female NL poster said about the FREE CNG conversation kits last month, an Abuja-based taxi driver who she had an encounter with told her he benefited from the Presidential FREE CNG conversation kits and yet, this taxi driver dude was still charging the old transport fare while making huge average daily profits of up to N50,000!

The NNPCL boss did state in July 2024 that the reason they reduced their original percentage stake from 20% to 7.2% in the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery is because they wanted to use the funds to invest in the deployment of CNG infrastructure.

2 things.

1) There are a lot of energy companies that are now building CNG stations and the NMDPRA have stated that they will not issue new licenses for petrol stations unless the petrol stations also have CNG pumps.

2) The issue of controlling the fares of public transport operators is in the hands of the state governments and some state governments have actually gone ahead to regulate the prices (I think Ogun State, which has taken the lead in the CNG and EV campaign, has done that and some other states too). I will post articles about that in my next thread.

@Oluwaseyi0

What city are you located in? This alleged increase is hard to believe because the NNPC CNG refill stations are still selling CNG at N200 per standard cubic feet of CNG.

The first ever NNPC CNG refill station in Lagos State opened on May 30, 2024 with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in attendance and based off of what I've read and seen online, private car owners and truck drivers who use dual CNG PMS fuels in their vehicles have been very happy because of the major cost-savings made in using the CNG fuel over the use of the more costly PMS.

The reason that I didn't bother responding to that post is because the issue was addressed right inside the first article. There are 2 sets of companies that are involved in this CNG programme, you have (1) energy companies that sell CNG and (2) you have car and engineering companies that carry out conversions.

One of the engineering companies stated that it sells CNG for 450, but that is because it buys it from an energy company. It was also stated that other companies sell CNG for around 200 to 250.

One of the key reasons for switching to CNG is its lower cost compared to petrol or diesel. With PMS prices soaring, CNG offers a more affordable option. At MBH Power Limited, CNG is sold for N480 per Standard Cubic Meter (SCM).

“We sell at this price because we buy from Falcon Gas at N450 per SCM,” Chandra explained.

Joseph added that CNG costs between N230 and N260 per SCM at other stations in Lagos. He also noted that CNG has a higher-octane rating than petrol, leading to improved performance, fewer carbon deposits on the engine, and better emissions.

Basically, as I wrote somewhere else on the thread, it is a free market. If one company sells at a price that you don't like, sack it and go to another company.

That's an impressive post.

Thank you.
