Fuel Scarcity Discussion: NNPC sells petrol for N148; private depots, N215+

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Petrol shortage has persisted yesterday across the country, as Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria, DAPPMAN, continued to sell petrol at N215 per litre to marketers. This is an excess of N67 per litre or 31 per cent when compared to N148 per litre being charged at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL depots.

Independent marketers that patronise the private depots sell the product at over N220 per litre, while the major oil marketers sell at N170 per litre at their filling stations. Checks by Vanguard showed that many filling stations across the country were shut and the ones with stock continued to sell the product to motorists and other parties at far over the official price, while the ones selling for below N200 had long queues.

Yes this really a major issue for the country and even my place now sef to get fuel buy na very serious issue. This fuel scarcity problems na one of the issues wey our politicians dem just dey overlook, at least you fit try see am for 270 buy. for my Area here na so so black market retailers na dey sell fuel for road side with the price of about 350+ per liter.
Me i just feel say this bunkery business too dey affect the fuel price because when this bunkery cookers dey always temper with the oil pipeline, dem dey suck and divert this oil go other places and this dey cause some shortage of oil for the country somehow and sometimes the pipeline sef fit burst resulting to serious oil spillage and the rest. But the funny thing be say even this bunkery wey dem stop sef don make fuel and other petroleum products scarce because i fit recall many times wey i don see this fuel station tankers too wey dey buy bunkery fuel and kerosene wey dem dey later sell to us say na better products them. So this na serious issue and government need to do something about am

[Davidvictorson]

It still beats my imagination that a whole Nigeria wey baba God don bless with oil like dis dey suffer incessant fuel scarcity like say we nor get any oil well. This kind suffer too much. Alot of drivers dey go queue for petrol station for Night so that them fit buy. Some kind petrol station sef no dey different from boys wey dey sell black market for road side. To burst your head eh, you know these petrol stations get this oil o, na hoarding dem dey hoard am. We don too suffer sha. 

[Obari]

This matter na really very serious matter  and e dey pains me whenever I reason the matter.
Nothing wey government don so for us wey pass subsidizing fuel price and I been feel say na the only way we take dey chop government money be that but no wey subsidy no dey, I don dey one other day dey reason am, one of the major challenges we dey get and the sudden hike in prices of commodities na the increment in the price of petroleum.
Because ever since price of fuel go up, na so every other thing price begin fly go up without any consideration to drop down.
My chairman, this fuel price affect everyone even those wey dey buy or not, we all follow dey suffer the fuel matter and I dey hope say the next government go try considering subsidizing fuel price.

[Labeladono]

Na so e dey happen for this country, We go stand for an hour plus just to buy fuel. Here dey sell 300 per litre, this country be suffering us but I wish the best for all

[uchegod-21]

Anything wey concern fuel, crude oil etc for this Nigeria na serious business to strong Abuja politics wey dey milk on our national treasury.
Nigerian leaders no get better conscience. If you begin trace matter from subsidy removal issues, if go understand how far dem don play us for this country.
E get when I bin read say Government don give oil dealers 48hrs to fix the scarcity problem. How far?

[Agbe]

Fuel scarcity is purposely caused by di Nigerians bourgeoisie (capitalists) join with di politicians. Can imagine di conconbility day, Dangote  fuel refinery dat dey were saying dat will reduce fuel scarcity 4 di kwantri, nd wen finally Dangote finished di refinery na out kwantri im dey carry im fuel dey go sell. Dangote fuel e no dey sell in 9ja. But nai imported fuel nai we still dey buy. Nd all dis things wey dey happened like dis, the leaders no fit do anything to help di matter, bcos di bourgeoisie e dey more stronger Dan di kwantri leaders. Bcos na dis capitalists nai dey select who go become di leader in di kwantri

It's a pity that a country blessed with crude oil could be facing the situation we found ourselves in Nigeria with regard to the fuel of all classes. Particularly, the petrol as @CryptopreneurBrainboss put the figure at N215+ per litre, but specifically in my neighbourhood, the private stations are selling it at N300 per litre. This is preposterous! It started like a play with a country that is being ruled by corrupt and selfish leaders. I don't know what happened to our refineries that no one is talking about it.

Is it that Nigeria as a country could not build new functional refineries from the scratch, let alone not have the capacity to revitalize the old ones? This always baffles me, and I hope God will deliver us one day.

One problem Nigeria get as a country na we no sabi maintenance, the building no be problem but how maintenance go be and the major reason for this na because we no get continuous government. Every government wan create their own legacy wey go help them contest for the next election so instead of focusing on maintaining wat we already have, dem go abandon am go build their own wey we fit no even need.

Oya see our teaching hospitals them and other government buildings wey dey available, na so so unkempt wey all of them dey now if them build this refinery who go look after am. Personally I think the government should privatized the whole refining l industry make companies come in come make things easier and make dem pass law wey go prevent demselves or relatives to get involvement (but dem no go gree). The government is too corrupt to be incharge of the refinery instead dem fit they regulate am but make dem allow private industry take charge to see how the thing go play out.

[SmartCharpa]

My broda the matter choke dis fuel scarcity sef e just tire person per liter for my side sef na 2900 and the kind line wey you go do before e reach ur turn, even black market per liter na 400 and our leaders see this kind things con carry eyes as if nothing dey happen in the country.
But all this thing na because dem no care about the citizens dem always dey worry about their own problems, we too dey suffer for fuel matter.

[HajiBagi]

This petrol issue just be like say no be Nigeria we dey because how come nigeria wey be ground of oil, oil go scas for the country, seriously this issue suppose to be solve very fast because fuel wey we dey buy use before from 4k now don turn to 8k now even the transport money now don increase, like place wey you will go before with 1k don turn to 2k and still money no dey, seriously this matter is getting worse every day I just pray that the new people we dey plan to choose as our leaders we help us commot from this matter.

[Hyphen(-)]

I never know why e be say na during Christmas and New year we de get too much fuel wahala for this country.
The mata self de tire me because person no fit just travel anyhow now cost of transportation don high because fuel don cost. Even fuel wey person go use for Generator now come be like say person wan buy fuel to travel because d money don triple the former moni wey we de buy am before.
The most annoying thing be say na our President be the minister of Petroleum

No be playing o bro. When I dey see #215 per litre for the OP, I con dey wonder say no be the same country we dey abi the petrol station dey set prices base on zone. Your own high small shah, na #260 per litre I buy the last time and that na early this month. Normally I jst carry previous pice for mind enter the fuel station. Tell them to put x amount way suppose full my rubber normally. Omo, I look my rubber, e con be like say I still dey short of 10litres. Na then I carry eye look the fuel price per litre for the dispenser o, e shock me to see #260 per litre. I still ask if them dey whine me and na confirm.
Omo, dey need do something to put all our refineries in shape. How can a nation way get oil go dey go through this kind scarcity and soaring fuel price, e no soft na!

D hunger wey dey for the land dey too much couple with fuel scarcity and hike in fuel price kum skyrocket the price of things for market. A friend in Abuja told me that fuel is been sold at N148, but I don't know how true is this. As at yesterday some filling are selling fuel at N350 - N370 in Port Harcourt.

[Dzwaafu11]

E no make sense as fuel scarce for the country people they suffer too much if fuel scarce na so everything dey cost for the country that NNPC suppose to do something about these

[Mr.right85]

As at yesterday some filling are selling fuel at N350 - N370 in Port Harcourt.

I jst buy few minutes ago nd na #350 dem put am. My broda, dis tin weae rch my bone. Like, watin de happn 4 dis we nation cef? Hw we govmnt dey tak identify nd profile d wahala way dey d nation 2 knw d one of highest concern mak dem 4 tackle dat one first first. Dis kind tin no suppose dey happen 4 dis we nation na. Nation way get natural resources na em dis kind hike nd poverty rate dy worry lik dis...!

Issues lik dis fuel mata way get chain reaction on evrytin way dey sup 4 d nation nd security mata 4 b were were go place mor concern. If dem ft tackle, issues wth light, security, road network and transportation wth respect to fuel price, d nation no 4 hard lik dis.

[Pokapoka124]

Na 295/litre I buy today o I don see say them dey find way to make the price balance for 300/litre. God how we take reach here, transport for my side don cost even sef price of everything don high. E Dey pain say this kind thing dey hapun for this kain time, we just Dey manage the flood problem way sup last month people way the thing affect never still see where to shook head put. Instead of government to dey find way to balance the country make countryman fit see where e money dey enter na campaign poster and rally them dey spend money put. Port harcourt to Warri road wey flood spoil na patch them dey patch like this. If we nor jas up nothing go change

[Asiska02]

Omo dis scarcity na for everywhere for this country oo. I been travel recently and all the three states wey I pass through na so so fuel queue you go dey see everywhere oo. For my state, some fueling stations dey sell for N195 per litre, na d lowest you fit get am be that because even the NNPC mega station there na still N195 per litre. While most of the fueling stations there are selling close to N300 and some more than that, those kind places no dey get queue sha.

Wetin dey bother me always na why is it always like this at the end of every year, a country blessed with abundant fuel and there’s no enough fuel to supply to its citizens and a sudden rapid increase in the price of fuel. Sometimes, I feel maybe this marketers are just keeping the fuel deliberately to make it scarce so that the price will increase and they’ll cover up for all their losses for the year. I hope a lasting solution is found to it soon.

[Frankolala]

Abeg,make una  no vex o,I won know who dey always make the fuel scarce ? Whether na tanker drivers or na federal government or filling stations owners.

I just see say this country na we dey kill ourselves by ourselves. Christians during Xmas dey use the opportunity dey extort people to hammer for the season which is bad. For second world country this period na wen them dey make everything cheap,do some promos like buy one get one free,so that even the poorest person go fit take care of e needs for Christmas. Muslims during their sallah everything dey go smooth because them like themselves and no go use their celebration flog people with hardship. Una go see say from Tuesday scarcity no go dey again,study your country well,you go see say everybody na scammer codedly. We need proper orientation to change our mindset,no be leaders we get na scammers.

E don reach again oh, new year to take select the person wey go give us original treatment as leader oh, but I wan ask, this nah so we go line up just to buy fuel or exchange our moni for bank or when we want vote?
Why things for this contri dy always hard like maleria wen e dy start? Fuel wey I sabi before nah #75 per liter now nah #370 per liter and Dem still expect us to endure, till when na?

This things we dy experience for this contri no fit make person carry em church mind go vote dis same piple wey handicap us like this oh... Why we no fit do things the easy way? Who we really offend? The slave trade as of yester-years na scar wey no fit comot from our body as e comot from other contri piple body?
Make God help comot this suffer from we contri, na we prayer oh.
