Nigeria is not on this list ?
FTC for the first time in so many years
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by Softmirror: 5:24pm On Sep 04, 2025
These countries pose a very great challenge to advocates of green energy as a solution to the negative effects of global warming.
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by Rseven(m): 5:24pm On Sep 04, 2025
No Africa country make the list not even the giant of Africa... so with our population our oil consumption is low. Na waooo
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by braveboi4life: 5:24pm On Sep 04, 2025
Yet they are screaming energy transition, and this impacted in investment in the energy sector thereby spiking the price of crude
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by kaludestiny10(m): 5:27pm On Sep 04, 2025
Nigeria can't be on the list because we are not a manufacturing country. Also the population of Nigerians that own cars are minimal or less in number. Most of those countries on the list are among the top manufacturing countries in the world ranging from car, aeroplane, super machines etc.

We keep telling them that subsidy is a scam.

Subsidy is a scam.

Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by Jomonix: 5:44pm On Sep 04, 2025
The rate of Oil use is a function of industrialization. So, we cannot feature in the list.
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by sonnie10: 5:51pm On Sep 04, 2025
Aka , countries with most disposable income . Nigeria cannot be there., our crude is for export to those who have money to buy.

On the other news, someone was spreading false news that this guy Slawmorr was in jail with EFCC

Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by panpan(m): 5:52pm On Sep 04, 2025
Singapore 1.5%
How?
I thought Singapore was a small country.
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by Day169: 5:53pm On Sep 04, 2025
From the list of countries, I think it's a reflection of the level of development, since the processing of raw materials to finished products and the provision of other services (for both local consumption and export) require energy, especially fossil fuel energy.

How is Saudi with 35 million people consuming 4 million barrel daily. Nigeria population is just quantity zero quality
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by ednut1(m): 6:20pm On Sep 04, 2025
Majority of the oil we produce in Nigeria is exported to the usa and other countries
Re: The World’s Top 25 Countries By Oil Consumption by Eniolohunda:
For the people looking for Nigeria at the top of oil consumption, population have impact on oil consumption, also for the country where a car is a necessity for any adult and even the kids start driving at 18, some even 17. Those factors count and the two favors the US
