I left my house by 8am, I didn't get home till past 3pm, all in the name of buying fuel. I was just walking from one filling station to another on an empty stomach. Thank God I managed to buy at last @ ₦100 per litre, even though the supposed 11 litres I bought was just about 9 litres.

Too toooo late for a fix.. nigeria needs a solution that involves destroying the cabal with vested interests in the country's progress. Crude prices are low. Revenue streams have dropped.. we export nothing but highly unskilled labour and we breed more buffoons than smarts. We must take matters into our hands if GMB is not ready to take the knife to the throats of the people who are making sure our generations never progress further than us.

It's funny how that we live in the same country and something this serious is going on and I don't even get to know about it till I read it online.

It's been drive in, buy and drive out in my end. Even though it's at N100, it's a lot better. Yesterday evening, on my way back after 7pm, the attendant told us or rather I saw the price to be N120, I told my companion to better buy it that I heard fuel was going to be scarce. Never knew it is this bad.

Anyway, it's been ages since we had this sort of queue. It's part of the transition. It gets darkest before dawn.

free2ryhme:
and we say we have a president in this country.


Yet he has choose to sit and watch this country plunge into chaos over fuel scarcity.

Just becos he lost an election he decided to punish the masses thus way.

GEJ is busy preparing handover notes. You still de blame Jonathan.

During the last time Baba was HoS, we had to queue for hours before we got items as common as sugar, tea, rice, etc. They were rationed to us as essential commodities by koboko-wielding soldiers, as we stood for up to 10 hours sometimes under rain and sun.

Since then, Baba never attend any school to better his knowledge about governing a country.

Did you not see the ugly treatment soldiers gave to civilians in the filling station yesterday? Before Baba won, soldiers no de display such harsh mannerism. Continue to blame Jonah.

When you were shouting Sai Baba, and people were telling you that you want change from fry pan to fire, hate for Jonathan and his people no allow you think.
Next time, a soldier can overthrow a civilian government, then after running military dictatorship, that soldier comes back to you and ask you to vote him president, why can't you vote the ex-dictator and he becomes president?

Last presidential election, you people gave serving soldiers a license to organize military coup d'etat.

bros how good is the fuel from black market ,hope it's not adulterated -my main fear

The saboteurs just want to sabotage all the efforts of incoming govt. so that it will be difficult for them to rule successfully. GEJ. there is God ooooooooo !

uyplus:
I wonder if you have a functional brain or you are simply thinking thru your spinal cord to ever desire Gej ruling us for another 4years. With all the revelations on funds misappropriation, corrupt public holders, corrupt politicians never getting punished and all. Tell me what has to be applauded in the outgoing regime? Gej couldn't even fix the damn refinery which is obviously the solution to this subsidy payment claims. What was the Sure-p funds used to do? Wasn't repairing the refinery part OT the agreement? This stupid talk about the railway is 70% funded by the Chinese government. So what has this outgoing administration done with our funds Pls? And someone in his right senses will spew garbage all in support of a clueless leader who has brought shame, suffering and pain upon the masses. Silly asss..

So GMB is the commander-in-chief?

You may have your sentiments about who you think is the better leader but it doesn't entitle you to silly statements.

There's a thing called sustainable development, not really a complex concept to understand.

You cannot continue to payout 'subsidies' at the levels we have had to over the years - please see PwC report.

Some would argue but ''Jonathan attempted to remove subsidies ''. My response to that is: he was a lilly-livered leader who could not stand by what he knew to be right all for the sake of wanting to be in power.

The refineries have not been fixed and fictitious sums have been spent on products never imported or delivered. Yet, you would prefer to blame the man who hasn't even been sworn into office.

I know your type: since Jonathan was voted out you would do anything to make sure the next president fails.

Endure the next couple of days, maybe months.

A situation is being inherited but it would be overcome. I know this because there are technocrats and visionaries on the stable of the new president. There is also a honest commitment for a change of debilitating policies.

It would do you well to join in to make things better, rather than throw insults at one who hasn't even worn his gloves for the fight.[/b]

Technocrats from the 40's and 50's abi?
There is a C in C, but foreign missions have ignored that fact,
There is a C in C and he appoints someone or sack someone y'all will shout.


I can't wait to see the New Government kick off, from May 29th.

If e good, na for all of us, and if e bad na for all of us.


But u calling GEJ "lilly-livered" will not be accepted! Y'all protested and called for protest around the national until it was partially removed, Now you all wanna speak.?

Fourwinds:
dis present government is confused. It cannt even defend or discredit claims on fuel subsidy.

WendellSimilin:
You're one very big foool. Once anyone opens any thread on politics section these days, your foolishness is always displayed on the thread. Your hate for Buhari would soon make you a deranged fellow. Sore shameless TANoid loser.

espn:
OP I was at same filling station at dat period with my cousin.. I left at abt 3:30pm after I lobbyed one of der sales guy to buy 1500 for 10litres.. because dey stopped selling for cars so we had to revert to gallons. I experienced d tear gas iish buh not d soldier beating d manager..yea d black market fin was real. d lady was feeling herself.. most of d gals der were not fanimorous except for a very few of dem.. we lifted 1 on our way out though we promised to give er part of our petrol..in d process of dragging with my cousin..we didn't realise she was almost at er destination. Fun though! Those stupid tout collected money from us b4 our car was allowed in.

Slimborne:
Nigerians are the most ungreatfull humans ever present on earth, a govt took the pains to try dismantling the cabals that held Nigerians to ransom for years with 6 months intervals of compensatory scarcity to oil marketers to quiet them from the steady loot that was going on in the industry,
GEj took the painful decision of turning from this cabal whose back he rode to power against all odds by attempting subsidy removal, ie let the market be competitive n people patronize the cheapest,
the cabals got angry we didn't support him, he retraced his steps,
even at that keep the country wet with fuel for more than 3years although not at very friendly prices, ask yourself, since march 2011 till February 2015 when was the last time you had to bribe an attendant to get a litre of fuel,

OBJ was minister of petrol himself in his regime but scarcity was every 6-7months

when GEJ needed us the masses whom he worked for, we joined the cabal who held us to ransom for years to castigate him.

A strong leader makes the right call regardless of what majority think.

What's right is right.

Can there be concessions? Of course. Countries like SA (2nd biggest economy) suffer no fuel shortages, yet they have no oil.

If a leader cannot make the right decision because of his hide..he need not be there.

If he cowers to conceed knowing it cannot be sustained he is lilly-livered.

No apologies.

eagleeye2:
I guess we are both in the east. Here in Aba, is drive in and by. Just slightly higher. like you said, #120.
Since this year I have been buying at #100 most of the time. Except when I get lucky to see a major marketer selling without much queue.

Daykoozy:
It's the apathetic attitude of people like you that is plaguing naija. Naija is owned by the people and not the elites. Once we resign to the idea That some few own us then the nation is doomed. Also do not let your party affiliation becloud your judgement. This is isn't about A PC or pep,this is about the travesty you all experience on a daily basis, and the cause of laughter in places like Ghana or Kenya. Even Benin does not have this sort of crisis.
Buhari should just come in and rule by decrees; this nation is clearly not ready for a true democracy and our legislators are incapable of reforming this mess.

This country tire person
2015 , No Light 2015, Fuel still dey scarce

ocelot2006:
Hold up....so GEJ is now "lilly livered" for not refusing to end the subsidy payments? Were you clowns not the ones that were baying for his blood and head after his initial decision to end that fraud, all because you were not ready or willing to make the needed sacrifice. Didnt you clowns also call him names (eg clueless, etc)? Now you.have the useless audacity to blame him? Abeg free the man. YOU ALL ASKED FOR THIS MESS SO ACCEPT IT WITH OPEN ARMS. Nonsense.

rusher14:

Funny enough, if there was one policy I supported him for, it was the removel of subsidy.

I have known it to be a scam, a conduit for looting the treasury and largely an unsustainable mechanism.

I would gladly acccept its removal today as i was back then.

So, before you think every single person in opposition of his leadership is in opposition to all his policies, realise ....it simply isn't true.

scippy:
What is PhD and school sat got to do with administration.GMB may not hv PhD but has lots of administrative experience and lots of trainings on administration.Our major in Nig. Is selection based mainly on qualificatn and not experience.Also,GMB has minimum qualificatn which is enough for any public office administratn in Nig. GMB is competent and has wealth of experiences.He has been tried and tested before and he can still do it again.Please, don't condemn him.Nigerians believe in him and he will not fail us,provided people like u do not frustrate his administatn.Anyway he has ways of dealing with people like.

chuna1985:
Nah, that is not the case. The present government has long clarified everything about subsidy as far back as 2011, but Nigerians who feel that fuel should be 15 naira per litre started rioting/demonstrating.

Even the NLC is now saying "subsidy is scam" at the same time is also screaming that it has been removed.

There is nothing to defend.

There is nothing to discredit.

Point is that anyone who understands fuel subsidy in Nigeria will call for its end immediately.
