Fuel Scarcity has resurfaced in Lagos and one cannot explain the reason behind it.

When Abuja scarcity started, it was attributed to flooding which has cut off the Lokoja-Abuja Expressway which has made it difficult for Tanker Drivers to bring the product to Abuja for Lagos depots.

But with most of fuel depots in Lagos, why is there scarcity in Lagos?

For over a month now we've been battling fuel scarcity here in Abuja
Due to flooding in Kogi

May God help us in this country. Life in Nigeria is really hard.

Prices of goods in the market are skyrocketing.
No light
Fuel scacity
Insecurity
Unemployment

Everybody are just suffering and smiling in this country. It is well

Yea! That of Abuja is quite understandable because it’s because of Kogi flooding.

But wetin come dey cause Lagos own now?

Tinubu will become the presido whether you like it or not

If things are not put in the right place in the next 15 years nigeria will no longer be a country but a jungle

same question everybody is asking. Found it difficult to get fuel for my car since last night for a trip to Asaba. Somethings have to give for this country to work!

This country is soooo annoying. I was very mad when I noticed that there was fuel scarcity yesterday.

Little things that other countries do and move on, when it gets to Nigeria, we introduce tribalism, religion, and other annoying factors to make it seem impossible.

It's hard defending why anyone who cares about the future of their children shouldn't make effort to japa

Honestly , till now am still looking for fuel.
Thunder fire any idiot that wants to vote for APC

I still don't understand how flooding in Kogi affects fuel scarcity in Abuja.

Yet there is no fuel scarcity in Kaduna, Ekiti and Nassarawa

Abuja has been more than two weeks now, no fuel.

The rumor is that government is having difficulty paying bridging costs..ie the amount government pays to balance the money the transporters of fuel spend transporting fuel from one point to the other....because of rising cost of diesel as a result of the higher price of crude oil.(The floods added another level of wahala).

Birdigng cost is an important component of subsidy, as without it, fuel would be more expensive in say Ibadan, than Lagos, and in Kano than even Ibadan and Enugu...due to transport costs

Here in the FCT, fuel has been scarce for nearly one month.

Hmm

Just started this morning, let’s hope it will be over before the week runs out

Weytin wey no scarce anymore self

Which area?

Which light? I have been on diesel for over 2 weeks now.

I'm not affected, got enough fuel for the rest of the week

We know what to do to solve the fuel crisis...simply remove fuel subsidy, and let the marekters and transporters determine the price.

Nothing to do with religon, tribalism, and so forth. Remove subsidy, and the marketers, transporters, et al would be able to afford the cost of transporting fuel and selling it. Plus the concept of domestic refining would become profitable.

But most Nigerians don't want subsidy gone...and that includes the rich, poor, slaves, free, Muslim and Christian and idol worshipper, ecist, buddhist, atheist etc...because MOST of us think that cheap fuel is 'beneficial'

Meanwhile, the cost of cheap fuel is a rising deficit in our budget. Made worse by rising costs of production due to rising refining costs....due to rising cost of crude oil, and a continous rise in refining costs...because it does cost money to refine fuel.

If we removed subsidy...like Ghana, Niger, etc...we won't have scarcity again.


Before anyone quotes me...yes I know people will suffer if subsoidy goes. But with subsidy in place...we have a rising deficit....in our budget....and that forces us to take loans. And we cannot eat our cake and have it. I know. And I know things would eventuallybe better if subsidy goes.

That's all I am saying.

Simply put, if you want free flow of goods and services, everyone on the chain has to make a profit for it to happen. If you don't get that, then I can't explain it any better re subsidy.

There's scarcity in all this place you mentioned

Enter transport N500 going & N500 to return back
Paid 500 compulsory fee to fuel attendant
Forgot to add the traffic ontop before getting to the filling station

Hmm... It will be interesting to see what Buhari's handover note will be.

I don't envy those tasked with writing it... As it stands, it's almost impossible for APC to properly campaign right now! They have no foot to stand upon!
