Dear Nigerian bannies,if any man should help you fill your gas cylinder these days, please that's a great sign of love . Cuz e no easy

My 10 kg is full, I no dey pay to fill gas again, you gerit 😀

The wife came knocking at my gate begging for assistance cos of the bad economy. As I drove out reach junction, passed at a joint, the husband was busy arguing with his friends loudly dat APC is the best government ever.




I don't understand again o....

This incompetent yeye president finished this country looting hell from the nation resources no dey tire am. Devil 👿

The one I filled on Monday was for #16,800 at Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State

Stastics have constantly proven that south east have the best of economic managers

Well, as a SW person that I am I must blame Obi and Igbo people for this.

We don't care about the prices so long our brother tinubu is president till 2087. Obi will never see aso rock even though Fulani terrorists they brand as bandits wants to Kpai us all, we're good

Those top two zones are the gas producers. Op you repeated north west.

Mt president is working he is winning primaries so that means Nigerians are happy. If your un happy you are simply nit a Nigerian

I filled #16,500 in kaduna last week, it’s not easy seriously

You people will just post nonsense to create fear

I bought 8kg at 1,350 per kg at offa garage Ilorin kwara state on 11th of may yet you people were just posting things to create sadness about Nigerian economy

For those of you that hate this country to the point of looking for news to make us sad you will never know peace until you repent

It's better that office is occupied by a spider cause it seems we don't have a president leading this country.

Today it is #18k in Lagos Ajah

Today it is #18k for #12.5kg in Lagos Ajah
