Until we stop seeing everything as North vs South Nigeria will never get better.

I would assume that fuel should be distributed based on demands and not geographical location. Yes it is obvious that there are probably more motorist in the South (all thanks to Lagos State) than in the North but it would have been patriotic if the writer used the "number of consumers" angle rather than turning it into North vs South affairs.

I personally think that our media people do more bad than good in this country!

How many people are left over there in the SE? You are already part of SW/North, you always have a share of anything in the SW and north.

What of SS/SE?

You're crazy! The report on the newspaper clip says North and South. North includes NW, NE and NC. Southern Nigeria is made up of SW, SE and SS. Every Tom and Jerry knows that 80% of all economic activities in this country takes place in the South. So where exactly is my bias coming from?

The North is filling their big Reservoir in Kaduna refinery that GEJ ordered to be distributed to Nigerians in his administration, why wouldn't they have more tankers. They've been doing that since boooooohari came into power

How many of you actually use fuel in those 19 states? States populated by chronic Almajiri trekkers and people who don't give a flip about generators. You're using your number of states to confuse actual population of people who need fuel in the South? This is the same way you've been using your fake numbers to win elections. Incase you don't know...there are more people in the South than in the North but tribalism won't let you tell the truth

My Friend stop being bias and go by Population of each geopolitical Zone. And stop grumbling.
Which fraudulent population are you talking about? Fraudulent census figures that the North has used to hold down the rest of the country? Meanwhile it's not even about population here... It's about the volume of economic activity. That is what drives demand and usage of PMS. The last time I checked, 80% of Nigeria's economic activities happen in the South. Could you please tell yourself the truth for once?

Even images from Google Earth indicates a higher population density in the South, much more than the arid North. The deception called Nigeria will never last for long. It will end soon.

The question is does the northerners share your diplomacy? Based on many recent and past events, I think not. You can't give an handshake to someone holding a knife.
You're a special breed. Some of these people don't know what they're up against.

The sooner people start waking up to the reality of the scam being perpetrated by northerners the better. The southerners so far, appear as the educated fools.

My sister, it's only in Nigeria that population density is higher in arid and desert zones much more than tropical and coastal areas. There's so much imbalance, so much evil going on and people down South look on helplessly as if they're under a spell.

Only in the North will they bring underage kids to register and vote in elections and NOBODY dares say a word. The sad reality is that the outcomes of these irregularities are forcefully shoved down our throats and we still manage to swallow it and keep mute.

For goodness sake, while this is just a day's data and figures may fluctuate based on tanker queues etc. Yet, it is understandable that a tanker from the loading bay in Lagos will reach Lagos and other parts of the Southwest in 24hrs, while tankers loading from Lagos and going to the North will spend 3-4days on their journey to destination. Moreso,Buhari is not the one selling or sharing turns and tickets. Please let's grow up and reason above childish tribal and religious sentiments.

Fuel requirement in the whole of the North minus Abuja can not be more than the requirement for Lagos. OP should remember that cattle shave not started drinking PMS.
Re: 160 Fuel Tankers Allocated To The North, 40 To The South-West by Nusaf: 10:31pm On Apr 05, 2016
Pls we shouldn't confuse population density with actual population. Depending on geographical size, a state with low population density can still outnumber another state with a relatively high population density. Eg, Lagos is the most densely populated state in Nigeria but arguably not the most populous.

With all due respect save those diplomatic talk for the northerners who continue to bleed this country dry. Let's just buy your narrative for a minute, do you honestly think the Northerners should get the priority because of the distance? If there is fuel scarcity in UK or USA, do you think they will favour Newcastle over London or that sh¡t hole South Dakota over Newyork just because they are far from the port. Economically speaking, the south needs those tankers more than thr north.

It's simply another shortsighted decision.

The question is, of what economic benefits is this decision to Nigeria. If thr south stands still Nigeria stands still, so why give it to those who don't need it?
