See, Nigeria is a corruption seen, except you rate evil based on interest or selection otherwise you will agree with me that CORRUPTION is breed from kindergarten to higher level, from local councils to federal level and unfortunately it cut across all regions and religion.
NO SINGLE PRESENT NIGERIAN ELITES IS EXCEPTED OF THIS.

"On what have I done", I tried to do right always basically because of my faith and conviction although, I can't deny failing my maker on several occasions.
how does than answer my questions?

1. who are the "us" that are guilty of corruption?

2. how did you arrive at your conclusion that "almost all of us are guilty of in one way or the other"?

3. when you say "let's join hands" what have you done SPEcIFIcALLY so far to fight the corruption?

i think we were already consuming 45 million litres per day as far back as 1999.
they suspect about 15 million may be smuggled to the borders.
petroleum subsidy has been removed so the government should protect the borders more and prevent smuggling.
so all these talk of consumption is meaningless unless someone wants to benefit from it.


Reference:
So is it the government you believe. A government that doesn't have solid population data, oil production and export data and even disputed economic performance data.

You only need to understand the relationship between energy consumption and development or economic growth.

The better your economy the higher your consumption generally so it is counterintuitive to imagine an economy declining from about 2014 till date to have a constant or even increasing energy consumption over that time period.

Most folks I know are consuming a lot less petroleum products than they did a few years ago and until the economy, revenues and disposable incomes improve I don't see that changing.

Obi used logic to arrived at this conclusion several years ago. He compared our consumption to that of Pakistan.
Benin republic and Niger share in our consumption

It can never be 35million , at peak under Jonathan it was 26 million a day and it was heavily padded then for subsidy fraud , Buhari came and took it up to to 100 million litres a day and the dropped it to 60 million litres before he left ...Remember people don't buy as much petrol like they used to buy under Jonathan because of the price so there is no way it can be 35m litres
