LeoDeKing:

Possibly only the driver was in the car and had reportedly escaped. Also, the word "survivor" doesn't necessarily refers to only the occupants, it also means others in the vicinity.
Okay

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Incidence like this are the reasons for some enactments. I'm expecting legislation in respect of precautionary measures against similar incidents.

Why are these containers merely mounted without actually fastening them on the trucks?

The report says "zero survivors".

But the screenshot above says, no life was lost.

Which do we believe?
How could they be any survivors in that scenario?

Politics / Re: Fuel Scarcity: Depots Dry Up, Nigerians Face Bleak Christmas by Respect55(m): 10:35pm On Dec 22, 2022
Kobonaire234:


NNPC has been forced to sell fuel below the production price for decades to 'help the poor'

Thus they haven't been able to make enough profits to keep refining fuel here

Thus by 2010, we were a net importer

The subsidy paid to cover the loss nnpc sustains is not enough to allow it make a profit.
Just like I asked earlier, who is the person(s) forcing them?

Because since 1973, NNPC has not been allowed to make a profit refining it here at home...short answer.

Long answer: In order to help poor people, government controls the price of fuel, which means that profits are not sufficent to keep the refineries running well (unlike the GSM sector, where MTN, Airtel and Glo set their price, make their profit, and are able to pay for all the antenna and facilities without government help)

And yes, Buhari is to blame because he has not removed subsidy.

Good am.
Who hasn't allowed NNPC to make profits wile refining it here?

Here is the problem

1.NNPC is bringing in fuel above N510 and selling it at N148 to depot as at this month...that is no longer sustainable.

2.From the article above, some indepdendent depots are buying from major marketers...at high prices...which means that they have to sell at a loss to keep to NNPC price of N179

3.Diesel costs are impuigning on overall fuel costs.


At the end, subsidy has to go to bring an end to the crisis.

I know, Nigerians will suffer. I wish it was not so, and to all those who insult me about my support for fuel subsidy removal....I have heard, I have considered it, and God knows that if there was a way to keep petrol at even N20 per liter for the sake of the poor and needy, I would take it.

But we cannot import fuel at N500 AND ABOVE , and sell it at N179, and expect miracles.

Even if we refine at home, we cannot refine fuel below N200 per liter. Before transport self.


You can insult me, you can abuse me, you can call me names, but if you won't sell at a loss....you cannot expect the petrol industry to sell at a loss...because you will encourage them to do sharp practices...which is what is happening.

It is wishful economics to import fuel at N510 and sell it at N148 and pay subsidy, that would have been used to pay for refineries , new and old...to cover the losses...while the cost of production goes up

The DSS move was lipstick on a pig. Lipstick on a pig won't turn it into Miss World...it will still be a pig. At the end, people were not moving product out because they could not afford to do so at a loss. DSS should have stuck to security. Economics is not their forte.



Either we pay the market price of fuel at the pump...like they do elsewhere...or we pay it at the IMF HQ, with them dictating the terms.


GEJ, in a way, was right in 2012. As was NOI and SLS.

Good morning.



Anyone quoting me to abuse should remember....NNPC brings in fuel at N510 as at November and sells it at N180 now. In June last year it was N261, in 2011 it was N99 and sell it at N65.

Also remember that we have been doing the same thing for several years....decades

Then a lot of things will make sense.

Thanks for playing.

Just answer this simple question, why are we importing fuel?
