Nobi today afonja disorderliness start ooo...the difference today is that it has been entrenched and now an industry of it's own run by an unending supply of agberos.

Agberos now run a good measure of filling stations in the mainland extorting motorists coming to fill up their tanks.

That is Lagos.

Apart from the beautiful ambience that matches the 70s look of Lagos,the people trying to buy fuel into their metal gallon container , the police officer and the fuel attendants were speaking Yoruba.

Ta lo ni eleyi? is still being said in that exact way it is said during fuel scarcity today, even after nearly 50 years!

Methinks the Yoruba Language has not changed at all cheesy

You can pass their conversation in Yoruba as one done in Lagos today. No difference at all listening to their conversations yet it was 48 years ago!
What were they saying?

Some of the cars captured includes a Volkswagen Beetle (Ijapa), Peugeot 504 and 2nd-Generation Toyota Corolla Wagon.

Others are the Peugeot 404 sedan, fourth Generation Toyota Crown, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover and Renault 12.

This present administration may have scored a very low mark in terms of the high price of getting petroleum products, but many will remember it for solving the problems of fuel scarcity In the country.

In the past, Nigerians, despite Nigeria being an oil rich nation, had to queue for several hours and at times sleep at filling stations just to fill the tanks of their vehicles.

And the scarcity of fuel isn’t a problem that developed in the last administration. A trending clip taken in the 1970s takes us back to the past to see how Nigerias struggle to buy petroleum products during fuel scarcity.

In the rare footage, a very huge queues of vehicles can be seen, as motorists fights each other while waiting for their turn to buy petrol.

And if you have ever wondered which cars plied the Nigerian highways in the 1970s, then this short clip will give you a glimpse of it.

Some of the cars that were captured in the clip includes a Volkswagen Beetle (Ijapa), Peugeot 504 Station Wagon and 2nd-Generation Toyota Corolla Wagon.

Other iconic cars spotted includes a Peugeot 404 sedan, fourth Generation Toyota Crown, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover, Renault 12 and Volkswagen Transporter bus.

Station Wagon! Datsun! Nostalgic moments back then when orderliness was a national pride. How PAN( manufacturers of Peugeot) and Volkwagen automobile companies folded up in Nigeria tells a lot how this failed country killed productivity.

Meanwhile, corruption have long taken over NNPC. Imagine the NNPC ceding its fuel importation responsibility to proxy companies being runned by cabals under the sitting government.
You people love talking nonsense. Where did you see orderliness in that video? Didn't you see where people were fighting for who the petrol attendant will attend to first?


Nigeria has never been orderly from 1960 to date.


Chaos, anarchy, dishonesty, cheating, arrogance, wickedness and lawlessness has always been the symbol of Nigeria since 1960....it only get worst every passing day.

There is no justification for the present scarcity,artificial scarcity was last card the FG played when subsidy removal hit the brickwall but to cover up this,adulterated fuel was put to the market by syndicate who work for FG so that couldn't look as if the proliferation of adulterated fuel brought about the scarcity.

The Lagos Yoruba has not changed a bit. I think that's because it is the Yoruba language in its most diluted form. Except a few insertion of English language words here and there, it's the same as it's always been since the incipience of modern Lagos.

Well, the contaminated fuel caused the fuel shortage across the nation.

Not until new export arrived, the queue might still linger on.

And who brought the contaminated fuel?

All this mumu praise we are giving the administration is circumstantial.

Crude oil price was low, so price of bringing in refined products too was low.

Immediately we cross, 90dollar per barrel, queue returned.

They haven't solve any problem.
