What I Saw Last Night At A Fuel Station by Tripitaka: 3:58pm On Mar 14, 2022
Its popular knowledge that the country is currently facing an alleged artificial fuel scarcity. Worse so is the fact that you can't source for fuel even if you're fortunate to own a generator; match this with the scorching sun during the day and sweltering heat at night especially in the northern parts of the country.

Theres this gated NIPCO fuel station just a stone throw from my place that normally start sales around 7am and close around 6pm with the excuse being that fuel is finished but they will receive new supplies at midnight against the next day's sales.

As I was strolling out last night around 9pm, I noticed that there generator was powered. Quickly I ran home to get my fuel gallon hoping to buy fuel.

When i got back, i was refused entry and told that there was "no fuel". I saw that there were 3 Hilux trucks there each filled with yellow 25L gallons and a mobile policeman manning the gate. Everywhere was dark as the lights were turned off. Lo and behold, these guys were filling all those gallons with fuel and loading them on the hilux. Same people that closed gates to customers, saying they were out of supplies.

The gateman now told me in confidence that those trucks belongs to a rich man in the community. That what he does is, buy the fuel at 200 per liter, then give to people who will see for him at 350 per liter. Hence, he makes 100N profit on each liter while the Station manager makes 35N on each too. This is because, the same fuel would have been sold to the public at 165 instead, they sell it to this man at 200, while he resells at 350.

My question is why are Nigerians so wicked and heartless? We capitalize on every situation to rip our countrymen off. Yet we complain about the govt. Despite my pleas to fill my small gallon, they told me to go back and that theres no fuel. While I could clearly see gallons of fuel being filled and loaded.

My major concern is the masses who've refused to receive sense. When it's time for election, we allow these politicians to let us vote based on ethnic and religious grounds, some even sell their votes with no sight of the big picture.

It's high time people realise that these politicians don't care about you

They deceive and divide you based on religious and ethnic grounds, but they Unite at the top to milk the country dry

Now that there's fuel scarcity , you won't see specific fuel stations for APC or PDP supporters, neither would they give you fuel because you're a Christian or a Muslim .

Whether you vote good or bad leaders, na everybody go hear am
ASUU Strike all their children are abroad getting quality education , you that voted based on ethnoreligious ground is at home, no special school for you that's Christian, Muslim, APC or PDP supporter

Una must receive sense by Force

Very true.

Hunger, starvation and deprivation knows no gender, tribe or religion.

Worrying is the fact that some are already drumming up support for "same same" against next year.

We truly deserve our leaders.

In some filling stations, they even give preference to those buying with gallons as there is a separate "service charge" on such gallons. Lalalsticlala have you seen the situation of this country?
