So Iran that is at war is still buying petrol cheaper than Nigeria in far away Africa?

Also how come Iran has a higher minimum wage than Nigeria?

Iran is a nation even though they are terrorist while Nigeria is just an organized crime movie ..

Nigeria 🇳🇬 have a long way to go.
Not as if when new politicians come in, there will be changes in the minimum wage.

I pity all of you that believes this fake news. Iranian economy that is in comatose

What comatose?

Nigerian politicians needs to be hanged.

Why should we compare Nigeria with a war torn country?

Shey Na statistics we go shop. Guess who said the above?

True. Anyone arguing with the apc blind supporters no get time . They make use of every opportunity to thrive in bad situations in Nigeria. Imagine them stopping crude sale to dangote, the masses' rescuer, so that so that someone's blending facility could thrive. God is watching all of them.
Some people will still mumuciously vote them despite hauling so much hardship on them.

Nigeria is a finished country, the last welfare President we had was Yar'adua/Goodluck 📌💯

Truly, this government needs to augment workers salaries..... But this will affect private sector and other smaller businesses.


But we hope for a better pay that will allow workers to live better lives.

Whoever cooked Easter rice should pls send for me. I'm only hoping on neighbours, but none has brought anything for me yet and it's seems nothing is happening.

They’ll say Iran has a population of 2M people. And they produce more oil.

Iran still subsidizes fuel but There is a limit to how much each person can buy at the subsidized rate per month

Once you exceed the limit you pay the international price for the excess.

As of April 2026, the maximum monthly limit for gasoline at subsidized and semi-subsidized rates for a standard private car in [Iran](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/03shp&q=How+much+is+the+maximum+limit+of+fuel+that+a+citizens+of+Iran+can+purchase+at+subsidized+rate) is 160 litres. [1, 2]
Following the implementation of a new three-tier pricing system in December 2025, the quota is structured as follows:

* Tier 1 (Fully Subsidized): 60 litres per month at 15,000 rials (1,500 tomans) per litre.
* Tier 2 (Semi-Subsidized): 100 litres per month at 30,000 rials (3,000 tomans) per litre.
* Tier 3 (Market Rate): Any consumption exceeding 160 litres is charged at a "rate three" of 50,000 rials (5,000 tomans) per litre. [1, 2, 3, 4]

## Recent Restrictions & Regional Variations
Due to recent regional conflicts and strikes on energy infrastructure in early March 2026, additional temporary restrictions have been reported: [5]

* Tehran Province: The personal fuel purchase quota for each visit to a station was reportedly cut from 30 litres to 20 litres in March 2026 following strikes on oil depots in the capital area.
* Vehicle Eligibility: Subsidized quotas are now limited to one vehicle per household. Newly manufactured domestic cars, high-value cars, and imported vehicles are generally excluded from these subsidized rates and must pay the Tier 3 price for all fuel. [1, 5, 6, 7, 8]

Normally what you produce should be cheaper in your country. We know Nigeria's case is poor management and bad leadership

This tinubu government is a plague, a weapon fashioned against the prosperity of Nigerians.

This is how a demon operates. They kill the joy you have and render you useless.

tinubu must be pushed out of our political reality and anything associated with tinubu.

You can relocate to Iran.

Nigeria is really a despicable system. We actually don't have a government.

Till now, do you know many federal civil servants have not been paid for the month of March.

You'd think a country that's the largest producer oil in Africa will have things easy and cheap fuel. In reality, many African countries that produces little or no fuel buy fuel much cheaper.

EVEN ON THIS THREAD, JUST WAIT TO START SEEING COMMENTS LIKE
- WHY CAN'T YOU RELOCATE TO IRAN etc

From those Satanists and terrorists supporters.
God bless Iran.

lordm:
I pity all of you that believes this fake news. Iranian economy that is in comatose

If PO becomes president and there's no significant improvement on the minimum wage then I will gladly surrender my life to you.

Even the terrorist nation is more responsive and humane to the needs of their people than Nigerian political leaders.Emilokan who was posing as a freedom fighter and political activist some years back has brought out the bestial nature in him which even his ardent supporters can hardly deny it deep down in their minds.

Go research bro and stop your blind defending

Of course and even Syria and Iran in the face of war have more stable electricity than Nigeria.

Time for Nigeria to hold the regions responsible for our cursed fate

AnniversNIG:
You can relocate to Iran.

Maybe after the US of A finish decimating the terrorists over there.

What's the population of Iran, how many barrels per day do they churn out stop comparing apples with oranges. Plan stupid.

Please tell me how much is the limit?

Iran population is almost 100m. Go figure.

This is the leader that claim he wants to relief people burden.
Tell me one thing that this regime has done good.
Medical not affordable
Education....highest cost
Electricity...use irregular tariff to close company
Fuel. 80% of salary goes on fuel and transport.
What a wicked leader
Food item : 220% rise . Rice jump from 25000 to 60000.
Yet people are praising them

What people fail to understand is that Nigeria is at more troubling war compared to Iran.

Nigeria war is far more complicated than that of Iran.

This is why during the media chat when they asked President Tinubu about the high fuel cost and all and he said he increased salaries, I just shook my head. Our government is deepening poverty among the people just to enrich the government.
