Kasssandra:so the scarcity in Lagos is due to bridging costs that transporters will incur when moving petroleum product from loading points in Lagos to other states, but somehow still affected Lagos the loading point in solidarity. No be so? Lmao. This guy! Na only go enjoy this your pot of beans. Cheers. 1 Like 1 Share |

Treadway: The transporter companies also have to transport fuel to other parts of the country. So under the current circumstances, a profit made in Lagos by transporter company Treadway, is eaten up by the losses the same transporter company Treadway makes when transporting fuel to Kano, Enugu, Owerri, Lafia and Yola, as well as Ibadan and Abuja. I hope you get it now. If not, I can't help you. Good evening. |

Treadway: P.S We have been talking about transport...we havent even touched the main subsidy thing...which government is finding difficult to pay, and has been over the years. It costs money to pay for subsides as a whole...not just bridging costs. As at June, NNPC was saying that without subsidy, fuel would be costing between N300-400 . From the hints government has been dropping, it has been difficult to pay subsdies, and debts and so forth. |

Kasssandra:you can't even help yourself to start with. Which is why it is wise to pace yourself, as too much talk eventually comes with the risk of nonsense slipping in, exactly what has played out here. Cheers |

Kasssandra:yea, i have said nothing about subsidy..just pointed out the illogicality in that statement you made in response to that question. Nothing more, nothing less. |

Treadway: Well, enjoy your cheap fuel.,it;s why you love and worship Buhari. I don't. I am a realist. Lord Buhari will soon give you N40 fuel. Reality would tell you that costs you a lot, in debt and deficit. Good evening, and grow up. You are more mature than you look. |
Re: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Nobody: 5:24pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
Treadway: Well, you want cheap fuel. So go and vote for your lords and masters in APC and the other parties who promise you cheap fuel. |

Kasssandra: How has the privatisation option worked out for our power sector? What about LNG? NNPC? How has removal of subsidy on kerosene worked out? How are industries coping with diesel now that subsidy has been removed? How is aviation sector coping with aviation fuel now that it's not subsidised? Why is bunkering thriving in Nigeria if not due to the hardship of high pricing on subsidized fuel elements and the quest of the common man to survive in our harsh economic clime? UAE and Algeria are not where they are due to their population size but due to governance. Look at what's happening in India and China... Why is our own different? 1 Like 1 Share |

Kasssandra: ^^^ I described Nigerians as longsuffering. I didn't say 'the Nigerian people would suffer'. There is a difference - both in meaning and context between what I said and what you claim I said. Kasssandra: ^^^ You have a viewpoint on this matter and you argue persuasively in favour of it. You have no idea who could be reading your argument. And to be honest, no one knows who is who here. You could be Buhari seeking validation for your next line of action. Anything is possible. Kasssandra: ^^^ Still more labelling... Apart from the labelling your subsequent points are clear enough. Nobody is arguing that or are they? Kasssandra: ^^^ Ok. It is a pity you didn't address some of the specifics I raised in prior posts - some of which I also asked in prior threads. To your credit you did respond to some but you left the key ones unaddressed and kept up with the "subsidies are bad", "cheap fuel is bad" argument. But when I asked how much it costs to produce and refine a litre of petrol locally here in Nigeria, you couldn't give me an answer. We don't even know what the subsidy actually is if we cannot answer this question. I don't make policy. The subsidy will go, that's for sure. When the market is fully deregulated - and investment pours in and local refining capacity increases (by your argument) then the supply bottleneck will disappear. We'll see. 1 Like |

] obi58: As well as can be expected...when government sets their prices, and not only that, sets their prices below the cost of producing power.... What about LNG? NNPC? What about it? Gas is sold at market price, and mostly exported. How has removal of subsidy on kerosene worked out? It is not scarce, sonny.
Avaition fuel is avaialable, the problem is government does not want to allow airlines raise their prices to reflect increased cost...which is bonkers, really. UAE and Algeria are not where they are due to their population size but due to governance. Look at what's happening in India and China... Why is our own different? 1.UAE produces 3.4 million barrels per day...nearly two to three times what we have and have 15 million people...while we have more than ten times that? You are pretending that population is not part of it. It is. Very much so. 2.UAE and Algeria have corrupt and repressive governments. Algeria has had protests and riots over bad governance. It isn;t good there. 3.And by the way, Nigeria has bad governance....BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT DIVERSIFIED AWAY FROM OIL. Oil money IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A NATION OUR SIZE. That is why APC has failed. |

Fujiyama: In summary, you want cheap fuel. Accept it. I won't blast you for that. But I will tell you that either you let the market set its price, or subsidy will wreck havoc. I am not addressing your points because you don't want to accept that businesspeople and manufacturers have the right to set their prices. Simple. P.S I believe that NNPC said that if subsidy goes, fuel would cost N462 . Take it as you will. And by the way, I am not Buhari, nor do I work for the government. My views on subsidy formed in 2011/12 after I had to actually read up about it. And if you call me Buhari again, or imply I am an opppressor, I will be very angry with you. |

Also not forgetting that neighboring Economies selling the bread at 1000 benefit from diversion of cheaper subsidised bread from Nigeria thereby jacking up the figures of consumption cost to be born by the Federal Govt.

Dude I would like to know how and why you started thinking like this. You're a rare breed!!!! You're wasting your time trying to teach Nigerians but I understand, sometimes the ignorance is unbearable. Sometimes I do try. LOL!!! |

Kasssandra: at that price still less than 50c wait a sec is that per gallon or per liter? Since Nigeria does not have any functioning refineries what do you expect? |
Re: Fuel Scarcity In Lagos: What’s Your Experience? (pictures) by Nobody: 6:24pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
t2luv1: 1. Per liter 2.With functioning refineries, it would still be expensive. Ghana has two functioning refineries...and sells fuel above N600 per liter. Niger republic...around 350-400 per liter. The reason why? We don't make any of the components of refineries in Nigeria. We import the spare parts, plus crude oil costs a lot to refine... |

IbeOkehie: I know... Back in the year 2010, I was pro-subsidy, and even knew all the talking points...subsidy is what poor Nigerians benefit.. In 2011, when GEJ tried to remove subsides...I got angry, like many times before...but this time, I decided to actually find out what a subsidy was(to under stand why governemnt wanted to remove it)......and it woke me up. I've been reading up ever since....and it only makes me more convinced that it is damaging the economy. But to be frank, if subsides go...there will be price increases. Even then.... 1 Like |
