Naira Becoming Worthless! 4k To Small To Buy Petrol by kYjelly2(op): 7:24am On May 15, 2016
I am just coming from the petrol station where I bought N4,000 worth of petrol and my gauge didn't even get to the half marker point sad

I used to be able to fill up for between 4k - 4.8k when my fuel warning light starts showing.

Would probably need like 8k now to fill up.

This is no laughing matter.

I pray so men. I hope they get better as well.

We have to stop this downward spiral of our currency now.

I remember when I was younger, a bottle of coke was 10 naira. Now N4,000 can't even get me to half in my car sad

This government has to figure out a way to add value to our currency now!!

Bro, no be laughing matter at all! Same here, mine was even at nnpc mega in katempe(abj), normally d indicator will be after d full mark, yesterday, i was practically pleading with it to go after d half tank mark at 143\litre? Generally, it used to be enough for 3-4days, as it is, i have to go back today or tomorrow mrn!

All things work together for good!

It will be manageable if u can get to ur place of work within 10min but what if u always encounter traffic of like 1hr, how many days will the 4k last.
These guys didn't consider the masses when they took this decision.

The government needs to provide buses to alleviate this . . . I guess there was a thread suggesting this.

Men, I love a v6, but yeah, u pay for what you get grin

I used to race up and down with an 8 cylinder before and watch my gauge literally drop down before my eyes in minutes shocked

My 4 cylinder Toyota now is pretty fuel efficient, but I'm still hurting.

Can we ever get UK style planning in this shhitthole country?

Planned bus routes and scheduling would really help.

Extreme bus maintainace is required also, so that even if its just a screw that needs replacing, it gets replaced asap. Buses need air conditioning to be fully functional at all times. As a matter of fact, there should be a rule were buses without air conditioning can't be used for public transport.

Before people call me a dreamer, if it can be done and is presently being done abroad, why can't we do it herehuh I'm tired of suffering in this country, high fuel, no electricity, blah blah blah.

In the UK, you even have bus maps for crying out loud. So you can sync with Google maps and plan your trip via buses even if you're a first timer. Here, just rackety danfos that wouldn't even agree to come to a full stop before they let you out and ratchet brt buses.

I'm tired men
