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?

Nna fuel no Dey here ooo...Do u knw we buy fuel now at #180 per liter as filling station...but it's clear that a certain cabal is behind this scarcity as earlier said by tinubu....let's just be patient with kachuku...things will definitely be ok soon

Nusaf:
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.

I am glad you said arguably lol. Which state is more populated? Kano?

Image123:
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.

My Friend stop being bias and go by Population of each geopolitical Zone. And stop grumbling.

And who told you north is more populated? Ya'll only have land area. Also can you compare the demand for petrol in lagos alone nd zamfara/sokoto? Not 2 talk abt other western states

Lool.

Northern republic of Nigeria the banana republic.

I know some idiotic BooHarry slaves would come here to defend utterly dumb and bigoted cow jockey.

How many people have cars and use fuel in the North compared to the SW (including Lagos) that shelters all the misplaced refugees, has over 70% naij's industries, home of the country's seaports, and the home of the single biggest ethnic group in the country?

SW just keep getting shegged in the scheme of things - disgraceful.

Dollyak:
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.

It's not priority, it's just common sense. Tankers going North will use about 6days go and come. Tankers in the West would go come in 24hrs or two days. Meaning that they'll make more trips or equal trips in a week. Nobody is favouring anybody, it's just the logical thing to do.

The oil that belongs to us here in the south

You know these people are crazy when they announced that one of the country's refineries would start working in two weeks and shockingly, it's the one in the North that will serve Northerners.

BooHarry is a clown. I guess that's why he looks like he has full blown AIDS.

It's not logical in any form. Economic benefits tends to get more priority over everything else, apart from national security. What is the overall benefits to Nigeria? Left to me 90% of everything should stay in the south to kick start the economy. What Lagos alone lose in a day as a result of fuel crisis is more than what the collective core North will probably contribute in a year. Histories are littered with similar events.

Sorry if my post makes you feel inferior, being childish or immature is not in age but in behavior and thinking. The point made is that it will take about 6days for one tanker to leave from Lagos depot to the North and back, while a tanker will do go-come three times or more within the same 1week period if carrying fuel within Lagos and southwest. It is therefore not absurd but logical to send more to farther distances.

shut up your mouth dia! those northern human beings, what do dey use petroleum produce for!! their canals and cows need no fuel for transportation unlike the well learned south with state of the art cars that need alot of petroleum produce

Just pity my guy who's coming out under the umbrella of APC. Weti we go dey tell people campaign now? He go beta abi na Jonah chop money? Plsssss quote me for advice.

I am sure probably half of you are cretinous agents of "Corruption Fighting Back", who are paid to come and whip up public annoyance by the people who destroyed your life.

Lets pack that for now. Let me focus on the **** who have been whipped up.

Apart from the news being from an unreliable set of cretins calling themselves journalists, do any of you fuuktards think Capital Oil or other distributers are owned by the government?

Even if this news was through, and so what?

If a private company chooses to transport his products to a certain region to cell, what is your business?

They are not free to take their products to wherever they deem it fit to sell and profit from?

If they are going to spend their thousands of dollars to transport to place where it cannot sell or does not profit them, is it you that will lose your money?

****

My brother. I tire o.

The first question an educated person would ask is what Govt has to do with a private venture

Fmartin:
Op to be sincere, among north and south, wic geo political zone is more populated

Do u mean:

north east + north central + north north

South south + south east

I'm ashamed of you bros and wonder your level of education.
What is north-north and who taught u dat?
Meanwhile what justifies 160:40 and what's d ratio of diffrence in population compared to which was used to share?
Let the south suffer seriously for betraying their own.
Una never see somthing.

Nusaf:

Oh, the census must be right then. I am sure he was everywhere to oversee the polling.

Rajosh:
op from your topic, you said NORTH and SOUTH WEST. there are 19 northern states(including Abuja) while the south west has 6 states. so I think the sharing formula is fair. what I don't know is how many tankers the south east and south south will get.

19 northern states xcludin Abuja. Addition of Abuja will sum up to 20 states.

Why not take ur time and take a second look at the caption. 160 tankers to the NORTH and 40 tankers to the SOUTHWEST (not SOUTH as a region)

A lot of these folks are just stark illiterates with the IQ of monkeys. So because the vessels arrived at the facilities of private companies and were loaded into tankers, that automatically means private companies did the allocation, no?

By applying common sense, you'd know that private companies would prefer the much more densely populated SW, especially Lagos from a business sense...than anywhere up North. Business is always about profit and less spending. To even move the oil to the SW is much more cheaper than anywhere up North. Evidently, it shows that they were following directives from the government based on how lopsided the allocations are.

Common sense, m0rons.

Voice of reason,. Nothing more to add.

The fuel consumption in Lagos alone, due to industries, multinationals, companies, population with cars and generators, etc., should be more than the whole North combined. So if I run a private business - it's cost effective to focus on Lagos, since the ports are there, to maximise profits - rather than going all the way up North, where the population is disperse and hundreds of miles apart.

It's obvious that the allocations were done by the government.

Ignorant southerners everywhere...

woodcook:
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 than good in this country!

I don't even think the population is the issue here. The port is in Lagos. Tankers will get even to the farthest parts in less than 24 hrs. The south south and south east are also relatively nearby. When other vessels berth, a good number of tankers that have done their rounds within Lagos will be available to lift the product even while some northbound tankers are yet to arrive. I totally agree with you. The media guys just learn to repot without sentiments.

Well you are the stupid one in the end, any good resource manager would have done same, given all the fuel is unloaded at Lagos and sen t throughout the country, the far Northern states of NE and NC usually taking 4-6 days for tankers to travel means to truly wet the northern axis after a period of scarcity of over 2 weeks would require a very large quantity, giving a positive influence to the scarcity.

Also the journalist used the sensational term North, to encapsulate over 19 states including the NC,NW,NE and Middle belt while he described the three states of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo as south west, the slowpoke ethnic jingoists didn't take long to bite the bait.

By the time the far northern states are receiving their first few tankers; Lagos, Ogun and Oyo would have received two loads from ships, a trailer that lives Lagos by mid day without much traffic delays would be in northern Oyo / Kwara by mid-day the next day at slow creep rate.
