Please can we stop all these stupidity?
So what if there was fuel scarcity in the past.
Is that enough reason to continue suffering it now?
Where is the CHANGE this government promised us?
Instead of you guys to be looking for what we propel us forward we are going to the past to dig up one of our worst moments just to make up for the ineptitude of this present administration.
I spit on this thread and whatever it stands for!
Tufiakwa!

In my personal opinion i believe what we are facing in Nigeria today is just a little sacrifice needed to make things right. And am not surprise if Nigerians prefer to choose GEJ administration to that of PMB because most Nigerians are the descendant of Philippines who prefer to spare the thief life's to nail jesus the savior.

OP, you're utterly sick. Famished brains like you are the reasons Nigeria will find it difficult to move forward. How can you use an event that took place few weeks to the end of Jonathan's govt to judge his 5-year tenure?

obailala:
The point behind this thread is simply to deflate the folly which has been spread across Nigeria by the usual suspects that there was never fuel scarcity under GEJ and that the present scarcity is the worst in history. The fact is that the fuel scarcity which happened under GEj in his last days was actually the worst in history and it was also caused by the revenue loss due to oil price drop.

@ op, be sincere it was not this bad under Jonathan, mind you the shortage of fuel towards the end of Jonathan's tenure was a grand manipulations from the detractors of his government just to whip up sentiments from the already angry electorates who are hell bent to get him out. Jonathan's government had the singular honour of stopping our seasonal December 24th-28th shortage of fuel we witnessed for 6 years under Obj's eight years.... This is the noble truth.

Nigerians in diaspora STFU! Fuel is now N300/ltr STFU.

Where are you? No filling station is selling at that price except NNPC.

You really don't need to respond. One of the ways to know a daft person,is that He/She would use a one-off situation that occurred towards the tail end of a particular regime,which was more of a sabotage of the system,to compare a situation that is gradually becoming a norm under a new government,which is being caused due to bad monetary and economic policies. That's like comparing apples and lemons. Before you pass a verdict,ask yourself what the underlying factors responsible for both scarcities are. Under PMB,importers are not able to access forex to import fuel;only NNPC is importing at the moment. Under GEJ,marketers suddenly held the nation to ransom over exchange rate differentials incurred in the process of importing fuel...

obailala:
Oh! it's no longer APC sabotaging, it's now petroleum marketers that went on industrial action because they feared a Buhari who hadn't even been sworn in?... You don't even think the GEJ led government which owed them their arrears since August 2014 should be blamed?... But you think a Buhari who hadn't even been sworn in should be blamed for fuel scarcity which happened when GEJ was still president?....

And now, you strangely don't think the marketers who refused to import fuel (because they aren't making enough profits any more) should be blamed, you rather think the blame should all be on Buhari's head?.... What a bizarre theory!

You know, as a normal concerned Nigerian, I should also be wailing over the shortcomings of PMB's government and the sufferings of Nigerians, but when I see the way some jonathanians defend the indefensible with the weirdest conspiracy theories, I would be silly if I abandon Buhari now and start blaming him for anything.

One of the major problems wrong with Nigerians is that we forget easily. This is the reason why hardened criminals and looters in the past can easily come back and contest for public office to the extent of winning. It is so sad that some people, mostly youths who are the leaders of tomorrow are going about with the slogan "#BringBackOurCorruption". They say they want the last administration presided by Good luck Ebele Jonathan back in power cos they can't stand the current fuel scarcity amidst other challenges that I believe the Nation will breeze through in due time.

This brainwashed blind bats who love to view things ethnically are quick to forget that the fuel scarcity experienced towards the end of the last administration's tenure was really unbearable compared to what we are currently facing now. Then, major sectors were shutting down, from telecommunications to the media, from aviation to banking. Nigerians were literally cut off from the rest of the world during that period. A period in which getting a bus to the bank to withdraw money was difficult cos buses had no fuel. When you manage to get to the bank, you are told you arrived late cos they close early due to shortage of diesel. Was the power sector any different?

Take a look at the pictures of fuel scarcity events that took place in the last administration below and tell me that Nigerians didn't make a good choice in voting them out.

bloodyBLOGGER:
why would anyone want to make Nigerians go through pains by shutting down fuel supply just cos they want GEJ out, a man that had already being voted out?

cc lalasticlala there's a debate going on here o!

fujirice:

So what problem has that solved now?
Has that removed the suffering of the masses? Of you and I?
Abeg we should stop making excuses for these guys that's why they are messing up.
A good standard of living is our right!
They promised to make life easy for us but we are yet to see it and the only thing a rational thinking human being will do is to go dig up this mess?
I still spit on this thread again.

Montaque:

ok. there is a practice with which subsidy is paid that made it assessible in arrears. and it has been ongoing without hitch till may 2015. because of the legitimate fears I explained earlier. The payment of subsidy isnt a matter ofcourse, it needs be verified before payment, after the product is discharged, and because of the volume in the whole country, it takes time to verify and offset the debt, but the marketers wanted an all at once payment which resulted in the lockdown, although uba broke rank and sold despite the marketers agreement not to sell. mind u, their were enough pms in the marketers depot but they refused to offload n supply until their demands r met.
Presently, the importers did not refuse to import fuel as u said. NNPC took over the business of Import cos govt thought they can import alone and supplement with the 40% produced locally. but they saw they cant do it since the one locally produced isnt guaranteed. who do u blame now, the marketers that were stopped or the govt that couldnt do their forcast well to understand that they cant monopolize import effectively?
Shalom.
