proeast: Fuel is never bound for Lagos. It originates from Lagos. It is from Lagos, after it comes from overseas, since we don't refine, that it goes to other places. If they tax them from the ports, it affects everyone. Or should should Lagos fuel.just be taxed for taxing sake? 1 Like |

A bunch of poor bitter communists in this thread. As usual to Nigerians it’s always about holding down Yoruba to them. They are so bitter. They broke up the western region because it was way ahead of theirs. They try to divide Edo and delta from the west to slow us down. They blame Yoruba for the civil war they they both started. The only thing that unites north and east is hatred for Yoruba progress. But we move regardless |

Haulage from Lagos to Abuja for instance costs around 900k while Lagos to Ado ekiti would be around 300-400k. Lagos to Maiduguri will be around 1.5-2m. Lagos to Akwa Ibom will be around 500-700k. Who covers those expenses? We shouldn't be sentimental in everything nah. @proeast |

olalat: Let's tell ourselves the truth for once, it will be grossly unfair to sell fuel 488 in Lagos and 500 in Ekiti but sell same fuel 557 in Maiduguiri and other parts of Nigeria! We all receive same minimum wage and would have to use same markets. So, by doing that, you have automatically made people in NE much poorer than those in SW by Fiat! This situation if allowed to take hold will cause serious instability. 57 lost in each litre would amount to hundreds of billions within months and its attendant job losses and impoverishment on those affected. You as a yorubaman will never accept that if you're at the receiving end so why do you want others to accept it? The way out is to tax fuel going to Lagos or other SW states more to bring the final cost at equilibrium with others. It becomes a win-win for all. |

WORLDPEACE: Point of correction, fuel doesn't originate from Lagos, rather Lagos is the point of entry. That also shows the faulty nature of Nigeria's so-called federalism because there are several other ports in the SS so why use only Lagos? Another point of correction, fuel destined for Lagos and other SW states can be easily taxed to bring their final price to equilibrium with others. This is how it can be done: Tankers conveying fuel to each of the 6 regions and Lagos should be painted in particular colors for easy identification. There should be a regulatory body monitoring these tankers effectively. Let's assume that tankers for Lagos are painted yellow, those for other SW states are green, those for SS are painted blue, those for NW white etc. Any tanker that is seen delivering products in any other regions apart from its designated region would be heavily fined! For instance, once a yellow tanker is seen on the Lagos/Ibadan expressway heading to Oyo state, that's already a red flag! Police, road safety or other regulatory bodies has the right to stop them! Same goes for others. I hope those in the National assembly will see this idea I'm raising here and act on it. Allowing fuel to be cheap in SW and expensive in other parts of Nigeria will cause instability. |

hakeemhakeem: Grow up and stop seeing everything from the angle of tribalism. Such primitive mindset is why Nigeria has refused to develop optimally. You can't have something as crucial as fuel cheap in one part of Nigeria and costly in another part. |

abbakacici: God bless you for bringing that apt analogy using indomie! You see most of them attacking me here are Yorubas and they're giving all manner of excuses in support of this unjust pricing because it favours them. Let the tables turn now and you see them crying blue murder. I'm Igbo from the East and we have an adage that goes thus: emenyere nwogwugwu, emeyere nwa-anosike which literally means be fair to all. So, I feel bad seeing the severe consequences of dealing others in the North such insensitive and wicked economic blow! |

proeast:Two things are involved here, either you don't understand the dynamics of the case you arguing on or you are deliberately mischievous. Lagos is the point of entry of the refined PMS. You don't expect the land cost in Lagos to be the same with even Ogun state which is the nearest. This is something a layman business person can fathom. Why are you arguing blindly nah. |
