Very enlightening

FG should do more work and less talk on this CNG training and installation kits.

This initiative can create 100k jobs if properly implemented
Una don come again with propaganda, every small thing can create 1m jobs, that's how they told us NTA/Star Times decoder installation can create 5m jobs according to Lai Muhammed, so where are the 5m jobs?

Stop these talks of job creation when you know that only few people can afford to spend N460k on CNG installation kits

Which is cheaper between CNG and diesel?


CNG is 80 percent cheaper

Great work you have done Mr. gazzuz

Now thee question is... Is the government willing and ready to implement this idea?? Remember this is Nigeria... The politician that would make this work would still be the one to sabotage it for their selfish interest..

Anyways it's a great idea and best alternative and I hope the government sincerely and honestly look into it.

Nice write up but it needs to be verified by other people. I don't see a lot of people talking about the benefits of the CNG generator when it was a rave. How come you spent that amount? That's the amount for about 3kg of LPG. I don't know if CNG and LPG sells for same amount.

Secondly, you said CNG doesn't require refinery. Well, both filtration and fractional distillation are separation techniques. If it requires filtration, that's also refining. It may not be a s complex as fractional distillation but it's not like a borehole you put a pipe down and just get clean water. It has to go through a process and that process itself is refining.

The government is talking too much with little action. For same distance of about 250 km by appro. N2500 worth of CNG, you will need about N10,000 worth of petrol or diesel. CNG is just about 25% of petrol or diesel. Imagine if trailers and buses cut their fuel consumption by 75%!. Imagine what the effect it will have on transportation of goods and people. And the effect on the economy.

So many opportunities waiting to be given the enabling environment and policy, and we are good to BLAST as a nation.

Are you saying there won't be any future problem with it, don't think I am condemning you, after all my Oga at the Top Alhaji uses CNG for his trucks , I am just saying full disclosure is very important, at least you can talk to the FG and do three months or six months test run , as it is you don't know what might or might not go wrong and you know in Nigeria things are always different.

research was done before I jumped into this.

Check my older videos on my page, they are self explanatory.

There is a lower maintenance cost on CNG than on petrol or diesel or coal grin

CNG sells for between 200-270 per SCM .

100per natural gas generators are used by e.g the RCCG to supply power to the camp and environs, another example is BHN in ikorodu generates and supplies power to local factories in ikorodu using GAS generators powered by CNG.

Presently most serious manufacturers run their generators on CNG

Dey deceive yourself and be using lies to advertise CNG grin. Is it not same Akure i know? Did you pass through ilesha-Ife highway at all? If I could try it on generator and there was no significant difference, I wonder how it could work on automobile. When the cng was first being over-hyped here. I tackled the OP. Later when some Nigerians got carborateur and tried to convert their petrol gen to cng, they dropped the idea and kept silent.

Even in the USA, the country we used to copy in everything, there are barely 2,000 cng refuelling stations there. Today, petrol and diesel remain efficient means of powering automobile engines. Any Nigerian who falls for this lie the way they fell for the generator would only throw away money once again.

Oga, what you use for your generator is LNG. (Liquidified Natural Gas).
What the op used on this vehicle is CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)

There's a big difference here.
One is liquid the other is more dense
They don't burn at the same rate.

That is why it's also difficult to refill the cannisters because what you have all around is LNG gas plants and not CNG.

So as he said seeing is believing.

I truly believe his experiment....but the only deterrent is the unavailability of CNG refill plants

This is the better type of news we want to be reading here.

Can OP organize trainings for people too at cheaper prices?

Let’s liberate ourselves from the shackles of backwardness as a country.

OP is sitting on a multimillion dollar-worth of ideas.
At least you have practicalized your own rather that if FG and other oil producing states and yeye Ogun State and Lagos State governments who are full of empty promises.

A whole Lagos state having just two electric buses. S.hame on them on this. I expect them to have converted at least 50 buses to CNG in their first phase.
Anyway, we know how e dey go.

Sone other states are unjust there as figure-head. Only bearing state names for nothing. And the youth ls are there hailing and chanting their use.less governors’ names after being given a party of what legitimately belongs to them.

Anyways, this is an opportunity for road-side mechanics too. All the Kazeems, Semius, Sunny mechanic etc too should see this as an opportunity to uprage and add to their pool of knowledge and income.

Those who can’t afford the training fee can start watching YouTube videos on retrofitting of CNG ahead of when they would have money for proper training.

Those who feel watching only the videos can help them should go ahead and buy the kits and try one on their vehicles.

Let’s liberate ourselves.
One would be surprised to see how older and younger Oyinbos do all sorts things on a DIY basis.

An example is in the video below how a young chap has gone in making battery solar system.
I am sure electrical engineers can understand better:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2eXgiakD8U&ab_channel=DavidPoz

The internet is full of multi-trillion dollars-worth of free information.

Let’s dwell less on social media and utilize the real information on the internet to our advantages.

Did you perhaps think of the possibility that he bought those things when dollar was at 1200 and not the current rate? Did you see the weeks it took to order and for them to arrive?

Will you check again or just decide to replace your cerebrospinal fluid with ice water?


One thing you fail to understand is that importers would always take advantage of the current unstable fx issues in Nigeria to manipulate their prices to make urge profit.


The question is was there date of purchase?

Babangidapikin:

You and your biase mind, who invite you, as if it's not your Southern leader that impose Bubu and Northern leaders that impose Ebora Owu ..


You sound like an illiterate in Nigerian politics. Tinubu like Awolowo was disatisfied with the Nigerian's political leaders from the north and their mentality. He hated the oligarchy system of the north. Ha proposed secession clause but was frustrated by his Benjamin brother, Zik. Igbos went for war while Awolowo went for aggressive educational campaign. Years down the lane, you can see the difference. The northern leaders using Islam to deceive and suppress their subjects. Islam is not bad. Islam contributes so much to education. So much. The oldest university is built by Muslims before the western world.

Today, the insecurities that wants to engulf the north is the product of the greed of northern politicians.


Tinubu once kicked against one Nigeria. War in not an option. He had to team up with other parties to wrest power from directionless PDP.

He had an agreement to rule after Buhari. Northern elements want to thwart it, in what led to' emilokan' using Abdullahi Adamu.

Greed showed up again. Gradually, military intervention is no longer an option in Nigeria.
The eyes of the middle belters are opening. If the north is not careful, in the foreseeable future, they will lose all like the northern Cameroon.

They believe that Tinubu being a Muslim share the same philosophy with them. Tinubu Is firstly a yoruba man before being a Muslim. He thinks as a any yoruba man of any religion.
He thinks about good quality of life for all.

Why can't they just allow the refineries to work so that fuel will drop to abut N45 per liter. Nobody will bother about CNG. undecided

The CNG may have such challenges but the Fuel Factor X that reduces fuel consumption by 30 percent is something you can always purchase and put in your tank when you want to refill. Thousands of Nigerian drivers have testified about the efficacy of this product. And also, you can use it for your cooking gas, my gas lasts for one month and 2 weeks but my last refill of 12.5kg did 3 months.

Which refinery? That of DANGOTE or that of FG? If it is government’s refinery you are talking about, my brother, FORGET ABOUT IT. It can never work again. May be it can work in another life sha.

I don’t think you know the level of decay at those refineries.
Something they have been collecting trillions of Naira on for over a decade and no single drop of oil was refined. You better don’t raise your hopes on that.
