Buhari and Tinubu have jointly destroyed the Nigerian economy. Money for Tokumbo Toyota Corolla,is now money to convert your viechle to CNG. It shall never be well with them.

Free market = the right to choose.

If one source of energy doesn't satisfy you, sack it and switch to another one.

If one provider of energy doesn't satisfy you, sack it and switch to another one.

If one company doesn't satisfy you, sack it and switch to another one.


I intend going to Warri tomorrow morning to do this cng conversion, does the address you provided for Warri, does the CNG conversion? I really need that to know please, so I can be assured before hitting the road tomorrow morning.

This is elementary knowledge.

I have done the above mentioned, but mine is on locked balance, any hope of sending it out?

E go get wetin una dey anticipate especially with this 800+ you’re willing to pay 😂

Hahahahahahahahaha

Obviously you are not serious and I was simply waiting for you to prove it, which you just did.

You came here to rubbish the thread in any way you can. You used multiple accounts to post negative stuff in the hope of drawing me into an argument, but it didn't work. Then you quoted me and posted false things and tried to attribute them to me. That didn't work either.

Mr Man, it is clear to anyone with a brain that I have not forced anyone to convert. Ranting and raving won't change that.

The good thing is that, unlike you, I DON'T GIVE A Bleep!

You can continue to rant, post negative stuff, etc, I couldn't care less.

If you continue to mention me, I shall simply use you for my entertainment.

Having said that, you can have a nice life, I won't read your posts any more because you have nothing sensible to post.

I didn't read what you wrote with your Incredible128 account, but that goes for it too.

This toy is a good toy. The previous toy ran away without completing his task. It was a simple task, get the thread to 3 pages, but he ran away without accomplishing it.

This toy is a good toy. He came and said that the thread is a promotion, yet he is helping me to promote it by increasing the numbers. He has already accomplished the task of taking it to 3 pages, the next task is to get to 18,000 views. He is even using multiple accounts to achieve the target, even after being banned. So he's very good, but I hope he won't run away before accomplishing it.

Thank you for getting it to page 4, but don't stop now, the target is 18,000 views. Bring all your other alternates (I won't read your posts, of course, but keep increasing the numbers of the thread).

That's an impressive post.

Imagine CNG that is 200 is now 450

naptu2:
Thank you.

Sosqui:
The truth is that the above cost from these firms are quite outrageous. You can do your CNG conversion at NIPCO stations for NGN750,000 for 4 cylinder engine with 55kg tank and NGN775,000 for 65kg tank. 6 cylinder cars with 65kg tank cost about NGN815,000.

@Oluwaseyi0

What city are you located in? This alleged increase is hard to believe because the NNPC CNG refill stations are still selling CNG at N200 per standard cubic feet of CNG.

The first ever NNPC CNG refill station in Lagos State opened on May 30, 2024 with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in attendance and based off of what I've read and seen online, private car owners and truck drivers who use dual CNG PMS fuels in their vehicles have been very happy because of the major cost-savings made in using the CNG fuel over the use of the more costly PMS.

One of the key reasons for switching to CNG is its lower cost compared to petrol or diesel. With PMS prices soaring, CNG offers a more affordable option. At MBH Power Limited, CNG is sold for N480 per Standard Cubic Meter (SCM).

“We sell at this price because we buy from Falcon Gas at N450 per SCM,” Chandra explained.

Joseph added that CNG costs between N230 and N260 per SCM at other stations in Lagos. He also noted that CNG has a higher-octane rating than petrol, leading to improved performance, fewer carbon deposits on the engine, and better emissions.

naptu2:
The reason that I didn't bother responding to that post is because the issue was addressed right inside the first article. There are 2 sets of companies that are involved in this CNG programme, you have (1) energy companies that sell CNG and (2) you have car and engineering companies that carry out conversions.

One of the engineering companies stated that it sells CNG for 450, but that is because it buys it from an energy company. It was also stated that other companies sell CNG for around 200 to 250.



Basically, as I wrote somewhere else on the thread, it is a free market. If one company sells at a price that you don't like, sack it and go to another company.

@Naptu2,

Succinctly stated.

I appreciate the EXTRA clarifications you've made here. it's a free market like you've stated and people have a right of choice to patronize whoever they want for their CNG supplies.

In the final analysis, since there's a national emergency OR sense of urgency by the governments at all levels in Nigeria to lower the cost of public transportation and haulage of goods by food trucks from the farm gates, thereby driving down hyperinflation and cost of goods by over 60 % in the medium to long-term, it then becomes VERY important for NNPCL and NIPCO which sell CNG within the N200 to N250 price band to build more CNG stations in states that have the most registered vehicle concentrations. The N450 cost of CNG per standard cubic feet at the engineering companies CNG stations (though still way cheaper than the more expensive PMS), could lead to excuses by some greedy transporters who would still want to make quick profits by charging the normal higher fares and hence affect the uniformity or harmonization in the long-awaited cheaper public transportation fares. A strict price control will have to be introduced immediately because based off of what an Abuja-based female NL poster said about the FREE CNG conversation kits last month, an Abuja-based taxi driver who she had an encounter with told her he benefited from the Presidential FREE CNG conversation kits and yet, this taxi driver dude was still charging the old transport fare while making huge average daily profits of up to N50,000!

The NNPCL boss did state in July 2024 that the reason they reduced their original percentage stake from 20% to 7.2% in the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery is because they wanted to use the funds to invest in the deployment of CNG infrastructure.

naptu2:
2 things.

1) There are a lot of energy companies that are now building CNG stations and the NMDPRA have stated that they will not issue new licenses for petrol stations unless the petrol stations also have CNG pumps.

2) The issue of controlling the fares of public transport operators is in the hands of the state governments and some state governments have actually gone ahead to regulate the prices (I think Ogun State, which has taken the lead in the CNG and EV campaign, has done that and some other states too). I will post articles about that in my next thread.

Raf4:
The conversion cost is too high and not cost effective for low-medium users. E.g for someone that is consuming about 50k worth of fuel in month, it will take more than 2yrs to cover the the conversion cost.
It only makes sense to the heavy users like travellers, commercial transporters or someone who just bought a new car that will be used for 4 or more years.

tete7000:
CNG powered vehicles I have known since the 90s when I did an IT on a shell oil production field, it's what one of the police van that works for them used. If the technology has been around for so long and it is not promoted by the car manufacturing companies, it can only mean it is not as viable as it looks on paper. As for the cng easily dispersing and not likely going to cause explosion, what if the vehicle is parked in a closed confined space where the gas concentration can build up? What if the source of the leakage happens close to an ignition source? This is where education and regulation need to come in.
