this is good

the suffering go touch APC PDP LP and everybody

samomoli:

Many countries in Africa do not even enforce minimum wage so it's not necessary to consider it when comparing prices

Yet the price in this country is no different from theirs

I want to see the price in Angola, Libya and Algeria. Nigeria shouldn't be compared to countries that doesn't have much crude oil

Still, the issue is that the price in Nigeria is on the lower side... And you have a valid point with the minimum wage comparison with those countries as well.

Don't mind the idiots they think everyone is a fool like they are

Whether you are an oil producing nation or not your refineries must buy crude oil at prevailing international price!

I bought yesterday, and it was ₦1,230
And that is the cheapest in Nigeria for now.

Propanganda don start. Abeg make una add Libya and Algeria that are Oil producing countries like Nigeria also add the minimum wage. Ozuors.

Fuel wey be N31 for Libya with all the unrest. Useless leaders and followers.

What do you mean by "who's actually winning the fuel price battle"? Since when has high fuel price become a battle??

Una dey post rubbish for here o

Propagandist have started again
The #1250 to most of the countries you listed is as little as #200 to them

Fuel is N1,300 per liter on average in Nigeria

The Nigerian price is incorrect.

However, we could have been faring better if the NNPCL had not already mortgaged our crude oil still untapped for loans.

Even Dangote Refinery isn't getting enough supply of crude oil because of this problem created by the Buhari government.

Dangote Refinery now has to source for more crude oil from abroad in order to meet demands.

Only God knows when this crude oil for loan problem would be over.

But whatever be the case, it can only get better!
