I Have Noticed There Has Never Been Petrol Scarcity Since Tinubu In Power by HEAVEN4444(op): 7:03pm On Sep 05, 2025
No scarcity and long lines like the one that wanted to wound us in Buhari era every other week. At least that's a positive sha. For those looking for positives

Propaganda no dey taya una for this platform, when last did you see your neighbours running their generators at N1000 per litre compared to N180 per litre on the day that Tinubu came to power

Why would there be long lines, when Tinubu made sure people reduced the volume they buy, and how often they buy?

Tinubu did not do any magic, it is because he is able to put petrol prices at a rate that both the government and the dealers makes abnormal profits
The scarcity that occur before is usually for price negotiation, when government wants to jack up prices,since everyone involved is now smiling to the bank except the masses, the oppressors are delighted, what will they withdraw supply for

Fuel consumption in Nigeria keeps on diminishing because fewer and fewer people can afford it.

I notice fewer cars on the roads these days and traffic jams are now a rarity except when there's a road obstruction.

This guy, you can lie sha.

Traffic jams are a rarity. WHERE? Name the place!


The REASON there is NO MORE FUEL SHORTAGE is because of the SUBSIDY REMOVAL which discouraged SMUGGLERS from shipping out our oil through the borders, supplying the rest of Africa with our Petrol!

So SMUGGLING OUT our petrol and diesel to Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, Sierra Leone, etc, is now UNPROFITABLE, hence the widespread availability of fuel in Nigeria, and disappearance of the notorious fuel queues of the past.

Thanks Mr President. 🙏

Tinubu propaganda agents are looking for anything to sell market.
Why should there be a scarcity of fuel when market forces now determine supply and demand since the removal of government subsidy?

Dangote refinery and reduced consumption are the major factors that eliminated queues, though smuggling was a factor as well.

Nigeria was not the only country giving subsidies. The inability of the government to fight smuggling that should be considered a national sabotage and national security issue is a big fail on the administration. Rather than national security operatives go to lagos house of assembly to intimidate lawmakers, this should’ve been their primary assignment. Big Fail!

So which is better, a return to the every day queue where a few still have to steal trillions in subsidy and government gave to keep accumulating debt to pay for the subsidy that goes into the pockets of a few individuals and also help to develop other countries where the PMS are refined - or now that we all can drive into any fuel station at any time of the day and buy fuel? We now spend less on importation and government is no longer accumulating debt on subsidies. So, which is better for the country?

America with its heavy weapons and sophisticated security systems still can’t stop illegal migrations across its borders. So, how on earth do you guys think any government can effectively stop smuggling in Nigeria? Since 1960, has any government been able to stop smuggling? So, how exactly do you realistically want a two years government to have been able to effectively police all our porous borders? You all think governance is a joke, right?

Which fight is your country fighting already? Show me the sophisticated work the DSS is already doing before you come here to talk rubbish. Who said crime can be eliminated? But you come here to compare a country fighting to minimize it to the barest minimum to a country doing almost nothing based on the useless excuse that it can't be eliminated.

Do you know what America would've been like if they folded their hands saying it can't be eliminated? and Yes, that was America before the 80s when they waged a war against narcotics.

By the way when America started fighting illegal border crossings, in just 8 months it reduced by over 90% so let’s stop kidding nobody but ourselves:

fuel are not scarce all year round only occasionally when government wants to increase prices, it is artificially induced, the only thing Tinubu did is that he lacks empathy like the others because no difference in what happens to the money, just that the share that goes to the masses through cheap prices have been removed and added to what goes to the elites, in short Tinubu is using the blood and suffering of the people to give himself and his friends the baby lifestyle, that's all
Apart from hardship did you see anything the people have benefited from your genius action?

Petrol price is out of reach,alot of people have abandon their vehicles. Another thing I noticed in my area is that electricity has improved so most people no longer worry about fueling their generator.These factors made the demand for petrol drop drastically.

It's hilarious when people show their ignorance proudly in public space. As in, what did I just read? So, Tulumbu now fix the price of petrol? What other prices does he fix again, oh wise one? Probably the price of tangerine?.

The MAGIC, Tinubu did was to return Petrol to the pre-1965 era, when Petrol was like bread, newspapers, palm oil or beer, whose prices were determined by demand and supply,rather than by the President

Eeyaa, Kemetian! Sorry for the difficulty you're encountering in this space. I know it's not the typical tales by moonlight that you're used to where facts are just an inconvenience and fantasy is upheld as truth!😂
So let me offer you some help.
You see in this space, we deal with facts. So kindly look at the news in the image I attached here and supply me with your own facts which contradict it.
Remember, we're in the real world here, not Wakanda or Kemet😂
