She’s beautiful, well-spoken: Nigerians seek woman who spoke out against fuel scarcity in viral 1994 TV clip

Nigerians are on a quest to uncover the identity of a woman who eloquently spoke in a TV story about fuel scarcity 30 years ago.

A social media user Jackie, who identifies as #JWEZEE had shared the video with the caption, “On this day April 30 1994, same day same time, only difference 30years ago.

“Nigerians in long fuel queues lamenting, 30years later they are still lamenting. And In another 30years will still lament, why? Because patterns don’t lie.”

In the video, which has since gone viral, Nigerians were seen queuing to purchase fuel and lamenting their predicament as citizens waiting in long queues with their gallons to buy fuel.

The woman passionately addressed the unfairness of soldiers skipping queues to resell fuel, highlighting a longstanding problem.

She said in part, “You have the soldiers that come, they buy petrol, they put it in jerry cans they sell it right in front of these people, it’s ridiculous.

“They get the fuel themselves, why do they have to come here, they don’t join the queue, they just buy and they sell right in front of people, it’s ridiculous. Something has to happen.”

The 30-year-old video which recently surfaced coincides with the current fuel price hike across the country. Currently, the country is facing fuel scarcity and price hike, with fuel being sold at N900 per litre in some states. This has affected the price of goods in the nation.

Nigerians are intrigued by the woman’s articulate speech

Social media users have expressed admiration for her eloquence and seek to learn more about her.

Dele Ajala, wrote, “That lady spoke so eloquently and passionately like an activisit, wonder where she is today, 30years after….interesting. I wonder where the lady speaking in the video is today?”

A social media user, The Anon who identifies as #btisin_advocate wrote, “Make social media find that woman or her offspring”

DJ Sammie who identifies as #Sammie10111 said, “If she is still alive she will probably be in her 60’s while experiencing same pattern 30 years ago. Nigeria is not a real place”

Hillzy writes, ” Unrelated but I need that lady’s number.”

The citizens are really funny. Admiring a beautiful lady that spoke out against the lawless of soldiers in fueling the fuel scarcity of 1984. Meanwhile, have the situation changed 30 years thereafter? Absolutely no!

The speaking ought to have been more louder now with more affirmative action, but most have leagued with their corrupt oppressors. Ask the chalartan Occupy and Save Nigeria groups of 2012 - 14.

Misplaced priorities

1994 during the dark years of Abacha.

The truth is that Nigeria isn't moving forward. If you listen to Fela's songs of which most were sang in the 70s and 80s. 95% of the problems he highlighted are still being experienced today. Infact, they've become worse.

Una don start again


I'm waiting for the go fund me and razzle dazzle of cash donations

Nigerians and priorities

E-BOLA Tinubu Amoda is a Criminal


Hahaha hahaha


Ewedu and Amala government in the mud

Hahaha hahaha

I hope she's still alive tho

She is probably in her late 20s in that video and that designer wear she adorns says a bit that she's likely affluent and well educated. She would likely be approaching 60 today.

That fuel station looks like the conoil fuel station in Obalende opposite the BRT park in Obalende.

The kombi bus, merci oloye and Ijapa cars are so hilarious looking today

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

The only thing am seeing in the video is the blue tortoise car!

Your mandate was not stolen,

Your candidate tried but sorry the truth is that he came third .

That is why he’s running to the north now because he now know where he missed it .

The more reason he couldn’t provide figure in court ,

That was why they wanted to use gbajue by getting it through back door.

All of a sudden you now remembered he had a 1993 plea bargain with FBI , you come know say he no go Chicago university.

He stole mandate , yet he lost Lagos even Osun his home state he lost it too , so how did he steal your mandate ? 🤷‍♂️

That alone should tell you that na ur candidate wan steal mandate , no body stole his mandate! ✌️

That is Ojota bus stop

Bored children on social media. There is nothing special about her accent. It’s a regular Nigerian one. She will be nothing less than fifty-six years old today. She fit be person here mama, maybe even R.I.P.

You sure she is alive?

No be today naija don spoil imagine I was 1 year old 1994... now am 30 still it even worse

Agbadorians will be running helter skelter

ukaface:
Make I talk true
Na my mama be that woman

Who nor like better thing

Hmmmm, interestingly, 30 years after, someone was reprtedly shot at a filling station due to a similar occurrence

We have oil under the ground yet citizens queue for fuel.. very funny if you visualize it… you’ll see that we’re not really free from slavery… if you’re not benefiting from one Nigeria like me, you’re just a crash dummy in this whole western experiment.

COMRADES, honestly I don't understand the content of this thread

She should be in her 50 now
