I live in the US and I know for a fact that gas has gone from $2.57 to $3.57 per gallon. I dont

What do u mean by hypocritical statement please?
You guys should stop supporting rubbish Pls.
Oga try to understand and tell your Obi that not everything goes to blame the leaders. It sounds nonentity to blame the hike price of oil on Tinubu. Is it only experienced in Nigeria? The whole US feel it . No be everything he must talk about once he knows he can't grant any meaningful interviews without blaming.

EponObi:
Thank God you mentioned gas is up 30c in the US, even though your figure is wrong. Gas has increased by 50–65c since the war started. Convert the 400 naira increase in Nigeria to cents and let's see what's up.

Also gas price has increased in China, India, UAE that you mentioned. Check your figures before coming to lie here. Only in Saudi is the price stabled because it is being subsidized by Aramco. Last I checked, Nigeria has stop fuel subsidy.

If the USA and GCC's 400m barrels of SPR can't tame price, tell me what can. If that Iran war doesn't stop, we shall see what impact they will have in the next 1-4 months. I even thought you would be smart enough to come in through the subsidy angle... but alas.

20% of the world's daily supply is gone and you are coming here to talk about SPR. The worst we've ever witnessed in history is a 5m barrels daily shock; price wasn't tamed then. Is it now that we have a 20m shortage that it will be tamed? You probably know better than Trump who has accepted the higher gas price.

BTW, Nigeria has a SPR, with plans created in 2025 by the NMDPRA to boost it, somewhat modeled after the US system. Our current reserve will last about 30 days. Can you stop the lies already? Linus!

Choke on this bold text too
Typical of zombies to turn around on their own vomit. You initially started with telling us how useless SPRs are and why Nigeria shouldn't listen to Obi because all countries are affected. Now you're back to telling us Nigeria has SPR. You guys always end up ridiculing yourself like a Bwala of the half-fool or half-empty fame. Can you tell us where Nigeria's SPR is stored and the volume?

China petrol price has not changed. I have the facts with me. The fuel price has remained the same since January. Same with Russia and UAE. You don't need to tell lies to defend your initial false claim that all countries of the world are affected. In 2008 during the Global financial crisis, Nigeria was not affected because we had strong buffers. In the 1970s during the Gulf blockade, Nigeria was rejoicing while Americans were suffering. To claim that Nigeria must be at the receiving end of every global turnout is ridiculous as much as it is infantile.

And to correct you, US fuel price shot up to over $5 per gallon at the start of the war but has dropped steadily now and is below the $4 mark as at today. As at today, US fuel price is just 30cents above the price before the war started. Fact check me!!

What Obi is saying is that we should store petroleum products strategically so during period of scarcity the stored products can be released. This way the price fluctuation can be better managed. I see nothing wrong in that. He is saying the truth. Let us learn to accept the truth because it is constant no matter who is saying it.
What do you want to store! Water? Or don't you know that over 50% of our crude oil has been encumbered?

Such a callus statement again from this man. Even America that has been planning for decades and are years ahead of us are also suffering from high gas prices due to the iran war.
Must you talk and criticize everything all in the name of opposition, just talking rubbish up and down.

Re: Lack Of Planning Behind Nigeria’s Fuel Price Hikes — Peter Obi by Tareq1105: 6:58pm On Mar 13
More dollars from crude sales is also due to lack of planning.

Only God knows what Obi scored in Economics when he was in school. Obi is otondo. A grandpa carrying the sense of a fish.

Thank God Nigeria and Nigerians rejected him. How can a sensible person claim that the increase in fuel price is bcoz of lack of planning.

We're talking about an international product here whose price is determined by market forces and international dynamics.

Obi needs deliverance.

This man get sense so or is it that he is aware that the sector is fully deregulated? I am not sure he even understood when he was also advocating for removal of subsidy, he probably was just using it as a slogan

I wish FG can just find a place far away from here to buy like 5 plots of land and make this lamba king president there and tell all hoevidients to relocate there, I can bet that within 2 years that they will be queing to return back to NIgeria. People like Obi are not even fit to be estate presidents

Alright broda were get sense.
How much is a creat of egg?
How much is chicken?
Who increased the price of feeds?
If the price of feed has reduced will farmers carry their farm products on their head and trek to the market ?

In 2015 how much was a crate of egg and a chicken compare to what u have now?

How many household can afford egg since it is very cheap?

U don't use fuel to power your generator for pumping of water.
Or your chicken doesn't feed at night?

Okay what about hatchers how do they survive during this time that the fuel price is up.

Go to the street and do a little survey ask people how they are fairing in this regime, out of every 10people u meet 8 will be complaining and 2 will say they are enjoying.

So don't fan yourself because ur relatives are crying also.

Or are u telling me that is the best we can get in this regime and that u are comfortable with the situation in the country?

grin where is the verifiable stats to prove your claim? Because the last i checked , Lagos is the 5th largest economy in Africa and all that was made possible by Tinubu who reformed the tax and revenue systems in Lagos which as made Lagos the destination of economic migrant from failed and deprived regions and that can’t be said about bitter obi in his 8 yrs of failed leadership in tiny Anambala grin
Lagos is not the 5th largest economy in Africa. Stop this propaganda.

tinubu is destruction and destabilization personified.
What tinubu touched he destroyed.
Nigeria has suffered greatly under tinubu's poor government.

There is hope, because PETER OBI is taking over in 2027. Let's make it happen through our votes.
Between Lagos that Tinubu touched and the Anambra that Obi touched, which one would you like to govern if the opportunity comes? Please before God and man be sincere.

Kemi Badenoch was also using the fuel crisis to attack the UK government just like Peter Obi but she was disgraced. Peter Obi is lucky because Nigeria government does not have time for him.

😂😂😂 muumu…..if people can’t ford egg or meat, then why are farmers still in business? It is only logical to know that a reduction in the cost of production will have a ripple impact on the consumer which is why the price of food is going down, even though we are not there yet but there are significant progress but you can choose to live in denial but it doesn’t change the fact that majority of Nigerians are seeing progress and are willing to renew Tinubu mandate….Tinubu till 2031 grin

What he is saying is beyond tye vomprehension of yoir small mind.
If we had an efficient system the state owned refinery ahoukd have enough crude for local consumption
Dangote is not receiving enough crude so he has to source for crude abroad at a higher rate thatswhat he meant since you are now an olodo

This only works in theory, in practice it does not work like that and I will tell you why.

The price of crude oil is set intentionally and you must sell at that price so even if you call up a strategic reserve that was stored since 5 years ago you must sell it at the current high price even if you are selling to your local refineries...anything other than that it means the government is subsiding the price but the government has banned subsidy.

If the government insists with subsiding the price it means you will create scarcity of refined products because the prices in your country will be cheaper than the prices in neighbouring countries meaning that people will prefer to smuggle it across the border to sell in countries where it is more expensive because their own governments are not subsidising the price

You claimed the price had reduced by 100% but you said it was N18,000 and now N15,000. How is 18,000 to 15,000 100% reduction?
I hope you're not using this brain to run your audio poultry farm o because you're simply playing with debt
If feed has gone down, why has price of eggs not gone down or do you think you can just lie and get away with it?
