Really, so where in Nigeria do people driving high end cars get their own petrol?
Everyone in Nigeria regardless of what they drive buy their petrol from the same station at the same price.
Here in the US, if you drive high end cars, you have to choose Octane 93 petrol which cost more or else your car will break down.
Go and verify.
People driving RR, Rangers Rover, Mercedes and other high end cars in Nigeria are using the same petrol in Nigeria.
That's not the case here in the US.

If you use that 2 70 petrol in your RR or Mercedes, it will break down.

See bro the Nigerian fuel used is not premium and it has flash point that is lower than the standard. Please do not deceive yourself bro.

What use is a nation's wealth if it is not deployed in the service of its citizens? Let Nigeria's oil be a blessing once more, not a bitter reminder of inequalities entrenched and lives disregarded.

Which wealth? Nigeria federal budget is $23bln. Add states and local government, it's $35bln.

Texas budget is $200nln.
America defence budget is $900bln

Which Nigeria is wealthy!?

Of our population were 15mln, then maybe we could be called wealthy. Not with 230mln people to cater for.

Mumu analysis, the U.S. government is still subsidizing petrol for its citizens , in fact it subsidizes most of the essential commodities one way or the other, this is a country with over 30 TRILLION USD of DEBT!

Let's be factual when comparing and contrasting with other nations, yes governemnt is useless and economy is a clown show but take it easy with the LAMBA!

Tinubu came to power unprepared and ill- equipped.

The fact is, A man like tinubu cannot give what he doesn't have.

Is it the billions pumped into subsidizing the dollar by the patch-patch certificate CBN guy. how far is dollar to naira today #1,700 + to $1.

Is it the CNG gas ?. howfar..

The recent Fabu is to Rebase a dieing economy. i hope they will be bold enough to add the number of Multi national companies and Small Scale Business that have closed down, since Tpains arrival.

Tpain is a man of misplaced priorities, running after low hanging short term quick wins.

quiet unfortunate.

May God Almighty bless this person.
This is the best analysis I've seen so far regarding petrol price /standard of living of Nigeria and other countries

Kukutente23:
Which fuel in Nigeria is premium. You better keep quiet and stop writing rubbish. Most imported fuel in Nigeria are the cheapest products available.
Why do you think they bring them from places like Malta

If it's not premium, where do people driving high end cars in Nigeria get their own fuel from?
I have always driven high end cars that required high Octane of at least 93 in Nigeria and I always buy my fuel from the same filling stations like every other Nigerians.

It's how they molested you😂

Many premium cars like Banz, BMW ,Audi etc premium fuel is RECOMMENDED not REQUIRED. RECOMMENDED means for more power the manufacturer says is 93 but you can use 87. You just lose maybe 20hp, which is not material in a 240hp car.

It's maybe the Bugatti, RR, Lamborghini.etc real performance cars where it's REQUIRED, which means manufacturer expects 93 at all times. And how many of those do we really have in Nigeria .

I don't know about that but it's being proven over time that Nigeria's fuel is not of highest quality
Just early this year, they had to call back some imported fuel because they were knocking cars
So you even realise Nigeria does not have a facility to confirm fuel quality

And your hero T-pain has been doing a lot of serious harm in his time.

It's not even about that. Nigeria gets most of its fuel from countries and refineries that can't supply Europe and the same US. So claiming that Nigeria uses highest quality fuel is a big fat lie

Ok, I'm more likely to accept your expectation.
It is indeed recommended for some cars but it is required for some too.
But from my own personal experience over 20 years of bringing high end cars to Nigeria, I have never experienced any reduction in power oo problems due to using inferior petrol in Nigeria.

It's a reminder to myself and you. Let's say only things we will be proud of when we meet our Creator.

Arobaga:
If I was from SW or north and be buying fuel for 1200 I for no even complain because oil no deh my region





Wetin dey pain me be say even with the oil in my backyard as a rivers son




I dey follow barren region dey buy high price because of their stupid son of Tinubu who doesn’t know his left from right

E no go better for all of una ... Was Jonathan selling cheaper to your region before, onikure

Arobaga:
Oya 33k stipend bandits come and defend




Bloody Unity beggars from a barren region




1…2..3 go type your rubbish in defense of your maggot of a Tinubu

The werey with him analysis no write their monthly expense give you ... Make all of una dey deceive una sef there .. Na Nigeria he wan spend the money na ... Ask am how much them dey save

SmartPolician:
It takes a lot of hard work, creativity, sacrifice and patriotism to be as populated as America and still be functional and powerful. This is a milestone that Nigeria can never achieve with her kind of leaders and followers.

Moving on, nobody should be comparing the price of pms in Nigeria to that of America because no country in the world has more crude oil than America. Yet, they are still buying from others just to preserve it for the unborn generation and for times of uncertainty.

You dey mind them

cococandy:
If he used California to compare, he’ll also have to use California minimum wage to do the calculations. Which will still come out to similar numbers.

He used minimum wage of around 7 dollars to calculate it. The lowest dirt paid Californian makes 3x that.

You must not know how percentages work.

Are you happy paying that exorbitantly for petrol? Why defend the indefensible

The comparisons still doesn't make sense. He's using selective amnesia whereby he uses specific arguments for his case.
The poor uses kerosene and when subsidy was removed years ago, there was no noise.
Industries uses diesel and when subsidy was removed years ago, there was no noise.
What should make petrol different?
Govt have shown to be a bad manager so open up the sector, let the private players take charge. The same thing happened in the Telecoms sector will happen in the petroleum sector. Not getting emotional over a "patchy" piece.

Ringstonermasks:
u are even far dumb than i thought

Like you even have any understanding of what is being discussed!

We're paying more than the true or actual value of petrol price in Nigeria, NNPC and FG are scamming us. Dangote refinery is even under their control

helinues:
Come down to Nigeria and stop wailing from afar

This Farooq is just so inconsequential that he has no influence ordinary his family not to tan of his loca government but for his mind, he has ideas

Off point

CodeTemplarr:
The analysis doesnt touch the pressing issues. How many businesses will stay afloat if they start paying just equivalent of $500/month of minimum wage?
Even govt may have to sack over 80% of the visibly idle civil servants they employ.
The informal sectors are largely manual driven and largely unprepared for the kind of productivity that will sustain even $500 minimum wage. We are still doing theoritical manipulation and have not started yet.

I don't think he's advocating for higher wage or salary here but he's talking about the overpricing of petroleum products in Nigeria most especially pms

pafun:
If we pay the most, then why is petrol still being smuggled from Nigeria to other West African countries ? You people should use common sense nah.

That’s a good question for your leaders.

It’s not emotional to not want to overpay. Far more than your wage can afford for petroleum

I’m convinced you guys just see a female monicker and the first thought that comes to your head is “emotional”. Whether it’s applicable or not.

That’s not very common-sense-having of you

Kperogi was supporting Tinubu during the election.....
....

Please stop lying publicly!

Kperogi is not a hidden figure that you'll lie so blatantly. He even has a blog where all his election time articles are cataloged.

You're very dumb. With ur secondary school explanation.

When men are talking here, u better go to celebrity trend to beg.

Same region your people are dying to come.... SW will remain your dream place to live 1000 years to come.
Your children want to come to SW for school.
Your elders want to come to SW for medical attention.
Your graduate want to do their NYSC in SW.
Your ladies want to marry from SW to avoid drinking corpse water should be incase of death.

Mumu cheast beating who wants marry dirty skull miner ?,'
Who want come South West! ?
People only come to Lagos because it was the format Capitak territory and the reputation has persisted and the population and their relatives in Lagos,, South West is backwards

Na you suppose to use common sense. Why would anyone who is not mad snuggle petrol from Nigeria where it is “more expensive “ to Benin where it is “cheaper “?

Mr Ero Ogi must be living in a different metro Atlanta from where I am this morning.
But as you people never even see airport before nah he can always lie to you and get away with it. I wonder what he is trying to prove other than tell you all he lives in Atlanta 🤷🏾‍♂️
