@Bbnaija_09 said:
“if you had to wait 35mins to realize that the queue ain’t moving, then you deserve to waste that 35mins.”
@Esther Oyewole said:
“Humbled myself to queue at NNPC (which I never do) only to buy fuel at 998 per liter.”
@ennita16 said:
“That’s why you ask questions immediately you enter a place you have no idea what is going on.”
@The movie/series page said:
“With the current state of Nigeria I don’t understand why ppl are buying cars because even if you’re the richest of the richest unless you have connection for fuel you go see shege.”
Fuel price hike and scarcity
Nigerians have been battling an increase in fuel prices, which has led to petrol scarcity, skyrocketing transport fares, and a high cost of living.
TheTalk.NG previously reported that a Nigerian man had to abandon his car to purchase a Micra vehicle, which consumes less fuel than others.
Despite last month’s adjustments, it was also reported that Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited was gearing up to introduce a fresh pricing regime for the product.
In September, the company revealed that it purchased the product from the refinery at N898.78 per litre and sold it to marketers at N765.99 per litre, thereby covering a substantial subsidy of nearly N133 per litre.
