Nearing more than two months, we are on the verge of making history with longest fuel scarcity ever. Except for war situation, we are the most rugged people on earth when it come relying on hopes that may not come. More problems coming from no power supply and you are left with nothing but to choose between buying fuel at 87naira with N50 on 5litres, 100 on 10litres, N200 on 20liters, and N500 on 30liters as penalty fee for buying with a jerrycan respectively. How logical is it to pay penalties for buying on jerrycan when the government knows most industries rely on fuel to survive. Sometimes when the scarcity bits harder, you pay more. When you ask they say that is how they pay it (that is how customers pay without asking questions). However, where are the penalty fees going to?
1. The PPMC,
2. The PPRA,
3. The Marketing Companies,
4. The Station Manager, or
5. The Petrol Attendants
Which government agency is responsible for stopping this.

How much time you spend in traffic, at filling station; how much time you spend getting things together for the next day's work, your family, your personal life is not an issue to Nigerian government. in fact it is meaningless: I can confidently say that they usually say ' No be Nigerians; them go survive.

if we do not have enough power supply, must it be that we must pay penalty for what is not our cause without asking questions? even at filling stations people ignorantly negotiate how much the fuel attendant will charge as penalty for buying fuel to use to add to the country's value chain. We are willing to have somebody else slice our skin with us begging them to cut little. Even in death we are willing to die softly. how laughable!

Don't forget that you must pay for bills whether you use it or not: taxes, multiple taxes and penalties for offences you have not commited
