People’s view A report exclusively for ucheosefohblogspot.com Uche Osefoh As the fuel scarcity continues to linger long without an end in sight ucheosefohblog reporter decides to go around and seek for people’s opinions about the fuel scarcity and how they have be managing since the scarcity started. Some of the people who spoke with ucheosefohblog laments how they are finding it difficult to get fuel because many filling stations are locked or out of business .Mr John Okoye a phone repairer around oye olisa market Ogbunike narrated how he finds it difficult to survive in his phone repairing business, Said that he opens his shop at 8am, but always take around an hour to get fuel for his generator at a cost of two hundred and fifty naira per liter because the only functioning filling station is always filled with people. He wonders how long this scarcity will last because his business is at a risk of shutting down if the only functioning filling station stops functioning. How am I going to cope, when one thousand naira can only get me four liters unlike before when one thousand naira can get me eleven liters, Buhari better do something before people like me stays out of business. Mrs joy ezeugo a stylist at Nkpor junction said that I live in Ogidi, each morning after taking my children to school I normally take a bus to my shop at Nkpor junction before 8am but not anymore because I find it difficult to get a bus in time and it has become expensive, I now pay double the amount for my transport fare. At home no light for the past three days and my generator has been laying waste because I can no longer get fuel, all the filling stations around my area are not longer selling, imagine this suffering because APC government deceived the masses to vote for them, we never had it this bad during the last administration. Ebuka who only gave his first name, is a student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Awka said, as a student I need light to read for my exams but for the past one week I am yet to see light. I now read with lantern which is not good for my eyes because getting fuel to power the generator is now difficult even the ones selling are expensive as a student how will I cope. The cost of transportation has doubled and a bag of sachet water is now one fifty naira against the pervious price of eighty naira. I am tired of this country nothing is working even after graduation to get work is another work because our political class has abandoned their responsibilities. Chikelue a friend and lodge mate of Ebuka affirmed with Ebuka that they are suffering. bros imagine we now trek to school and back sometimes because transportation fare has sky rocketed. A distance we use to pay thirty naira is now fifty naira, okada nko we now pay hundred naira for a distance we used to pay fifty naira, if you have exam around 8am and you don’t have money to pay for okada for faster transportation ojo na your name. Bros this government na one chance we enter be that, he lament in pigin English. Mr Edward Amaobi a civil servant working with ministry of education Awka said I now take public transportation to work because I no longer get fuel for my car because most filling stations are not working and I cannot stand the long queue at the NNPC mega station, the few places I managed to get fuel, I brought it at two hundred and fifty naira per liter. After all the day’s stress I will go home to meet darkness, for one week no light and sleeping with this heat is unbearable, thank God for the rain yesterday I was able to sleep well without waking up in the middle of the night because of heat. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the fuel crisis I believe it will soon be over but I am losing confidence on this government because I am yet to see any economic direction from them. This reporter met an hausa okada rider at Awada Obosi Onitsha metropolitan when I shouted sai baba the hausa man who gave his name as Ibrahim Musa from Bauchi state said baba no de try oh, since morning till this afternoon I am just coming back from filling station because of long queue. I traveled home to vote for him and I still believe in his ability but baba no de try oh and I am not happy. This reporter noticed that large numbers of people were trekking and some were patient enough to wait at the bus stop at Nitel, upper iweka I approached one, who gave his name as Ejike Emma a trader of foot wares at Ochanja market Onitsha. Bros I don stand for here tire no bus de go my side for Obosi even the ones heading towards that direction are always filled up and it is double the price, this country is a big zoo, When I asked him why he think so, he reply, I am a member of IPOD fighting for actualization of Biafra state I believe we must get Biafra whether they like it or not. When I asked what the connection between the issue and Biafra. He said that he is tired of this zoo where nothing is working, as he became abusive by calling Buhari unprintable names which I cannot publish, I had to cut him short, bros e don do, as I left him. A walk around a busy neighborhood in Awada Obosi around 7pm where the deaf noise from generators are enough to make somebody deaf was unusually silent despite the darkness except noise from few generators. Outlining the effect of the fuel scarcity is having on people of Anambra in southeast Nigeria which is what is obtainable nationwide. I had to sleep at my friend’s place in Awada because of my inability to get bus heading to my home town Ogidi by the time I was through with the report around 7:30pm.
