I don't think there is anything like storing fuel safely; na when yawa never gas person dey think say he store fuel safely.

Itsrm:


That one no be problem na. If fuel no dey for gen, everybody go rest. As long as we can charge phone with power banks and laptops

BlueRayDick:


Na wa o. So what do the governors now do with the allocation they collect monthly? Chai!

Nothing to worry about if you no dey smoke or no dey move with smokers and drug users and if your house is large

GloriousGbola:


If you live alone in the house and if you have industrial Jerrycans, it can work. But it is very very unsafe.

Theflint1:
I'm targeting 250-300 litres, I work from home, so whatever I'm storing would be primarily to fuel gen when devices are down and at night. One of my neighbours said he's going to store 1000 litres, have another that always stores fuel throughout the year, scarcity or not, and he has at least 15 jerrycans. Store according to how you use....

nihilistjnr:


Honestly doc, it's like where do you even start to have these kind of conversations.

Up to 67% of Tory 'Senators' had zero local link to the constituencies the represented in Parliament.

People in UK largely vote for party not individuals. I don't even know who my MP is, I just know I vote Labour.

BlueRayDick:


Electric spark can lead to serious fire if u store fuel anywhere within ur premises.

Theflint1:
You know where one can get these industrial jerrycans?

afrodoc2:


Safety is relative. Maybe one can say as safely as possible. Some are very careless with their storage.

BlueRayDick:


The best form of safety is not to store it at all. I once witnessed a building nearly razed down due to this fuel storage wahala; even the road for fire fighters to access the building was not accessible. They had to stay on the main road while stretching their hose to reach the building in a tight corner.

BREAKING

INEC has scheduled supplementary governorship elections in Kebbi and Adamawa states on April 15

GloriousGbola:


If you live in lagos and you go to anywhere where plastic containers are sold and say you are looking for chemical Jerry can. You will be directed to someone selling. They are used and have been used to store acid or peroxide. They used to be very cheap and maybe they still are if you can get to their ground zero, because Las Las these are containers disposed of by chemical companies.

GloriousGbola:


No 1 is thick containers
No 2 is no source of flame outside the house.
No 3 is responsible and paranoid end users

This fuel subsidy if removed will bring the mother of all sufferings, buying fuel around the country for 750+ is different from buying fuel for around 300/litre in a couple of states...I don't think they're selling fuel at the moment anywhere for that 500 range.

Our leaders have failed us for too long, Nigeria isn't poor because we didn't and still don't have enough to be okay. If they remove this fuel subsidy, it'd be incredibly rough.

raumdeuter:


What is your opinion about the subsidy thing and if you are president today what will you do about it

We have been kicking the subsidy stone down the road ever since and it looks like we cannot expect any meaningful development as long as we have subsidy

Theflint1:
Phased removal over a three to four year period.

larride:


We have to keep kicking it down the road till necessary cushion are in place. Until electricity is stable to a large extent, fuel subsidy should remain in my own opinion.

Cost of fuel is associated with almost everything in the country, small fuel scarcity we know how prices of things use to skyrocket, now imagine fuel going from 180 to 750, price of everything will go over the roof with salary and wages remaining constant.

It’s the perfect recipe for chaos and anarchy.

larride:
The kind riot and protest that will happen once fuel subsidy is gone without the necessary cushion for the masses will be unprecedented.

Buying 400 due to scarcity is different from knowing you will be buying it 750 everyday. Everywhere go burst.

raumdeuter:


Its this phased removal thing they have been selling to us for the past 20yrs and nothing has changed. If we don't do it, in another 20yrs we will be talking about subsidy removal while a few will be feeding fat on the subsidy money

nihilistjnr:


We spoke about this thing last year.

Like play, like play, it's finally here.

Weren't you advocating for subsidy removal before election or did I mix you with someone else? Maybe it was itsrm

Theflint1:
I posted a rejoinder, there's been periods where it was easier to remove subsidy, during Jonathan's era I think it was supposed to be a 100% increase or so...today were looking at around a 300% increase.

The mistrust between the Nigerian government and it's people has made this subsidy removal thing a difficult issue. BATs government is shaping up to be one of the most mistrusted governments in recent time, don't know how he's going to pull it off successfully and prevent chaos.

Theflint1:
I've always favored phased removal... yanking it off at once might prove too difficult for a Nigerian populace that has little trust in the government.

There will never be a time when it will be better. Under Jonathan everyone thought the 100% was outrageous, Now you think 300% is terrible, In the future we will be saying 500% 700% is bad

Its like chloroquine, bitter but close eye once and swallow it. I am not sure it will get better

The mistrust of govt will never go in any democracy, even in America there is mistrust of govt by almost half of the country
