Tinubu will transfer wealth to everybody because he is not a bigot like that Peter Obi who is a pretender of national repute.

Awolowo is a leader than no Ibo man dead or alive can overshadow. That’s a fact!

Bro it is the market condition. Think nao!

Food is less costly in the North and more costly in the SW. How many times have you seen me as a Yoruba man blame the Hausa and Buhari for that?

That’s because the food originate from the North. They will factor in transportation cost which will make it costlier when it get down south. It’s basic economics and you don’t need too much thinking to deduce that.

Every region have their own comparative advantage. It is not Yoruba people that says your Ibo ancestors should choose land without access to the Ocean.

I think the way out of this unfair situation is to do the following:

1. Raise tax on fuel bound for Lagos and other SW states to bring it to equilibrium with others.

2. Ensure that all other ports are viable and give ships going there tax rebates.

Many of those talking crap don't even understand the dangers of having such lopsided differentials in fuel price across Nigeria. There will be increased influx of people into Lagos and the adjoining states leading to instability. Already, Lagos and its environ control over 70% of Nigeria's economy, the figure will even jump to 90% if this discriminatory price differences is allowed.

Proximity or not, it doesn't make sense! Nigerians in all regions have same minimum wage. Fuel is a basic necessity in Nigeria upon which other factors of production rely upon.

When you give SW such unfair advantage, you make other regions less viable and less productive relative to SW.

If this government want to favour only Yorubas against other Nigerians then he should be ready because Nigerians will collectively resist him!

Continue trying to be smart by half. Food is grown more in the North but is fuel gotten from the SW? So why using such ridiculous comparison?

If fuel should be cheapest anywhere in Nigeria using your analogy, it should be in the SS!

Just know that Nigerians are no fools and we won't accept such crass tribalism in government.

What is wrong with you?

Your bigotry and hatred have reduced your sense of reasoning.

You deliberately refused to understand simple analogy because you have an agenda - to create another ethnic E-war.

Who told you it was tinubu that introduced the new fuel price?

Is he the md/ceo of nnpc?

Imported fuel lands in lagos before its bn transported to other states, naturally it will be cheaper because the cost of transportation to other states is no longer involved.

This is a simple stuff that your brain refused to assimilate because of bigotry.

Since the days of Abacha, Petrol has always be more expensive in Sokoto ,Yobe, Borno Adamawa than Lagos or Ogun State.

Some Petroleum Marketers like A.A Rano lift Fuel from Niger Republic to sell in Kano ,Katsina and Jigawa States which are closer to Niger Republic than Lagos.

There is never a time when the prices of Petrol is the same all over Nigeria. When Marketers take 33,000 Litres of Petrol from Lagos or Rivers and travel over 700 km to reach Katsina over 72hrs, do you think these Marketers will sell this petrol at the same price as it's being sold in Lagos or Rivers?

These people can be very funny. Imagine trying to justify rubbish because it favours them. They think they're wise while other Nigerians are foolish.

Imagine fuel cheaper in Ekiti state that has no drop of oil and also landlocked but more expensive in Delta and Akwa Ibom that are major oil producing states and also coastal

Imagine selling fuel at 500 in Oyo state but 540 in Kano and 557 in Maiduguiri?

Tinubu has truly proven already that he does not believe in one Nigeria. He wants to transfer Nigeria's wealth to his people completely. Imagine the audacity!

Bros, the Petrol being consumed in Nigeria are NOT from the Niger Delta but imported.

Even that template is NOT going to work because pump prices are determined by different factors and pump prices are not always the same throughout the same State e.g the prices of Petrol in Akure are slightly different from the prices in Ilaje,Igbokoda or Araromi, yet all are in Ondo State.

What wrong impression? You're defending this gross injustice because you're a yorubaman and you think it benefits you.

Minimum wage is uniform across Nigeria but fuel will be cheapest in SW?!

Do you know the multiplier effect of having fuel cheap in the SW and expensive in other parts of Nigeria? That extra 57 naira on each litre would amount to hundreds of billions lost in other parts of Nigeria, particularly NE. It will lead to further job losses in those regions. Lead to things being more expensive there than in SW. It will also lead to massive relocation of people from the disadvantaged states to the SW. Are you willing to accept that huge influx? Won't you guys start feeling insecure as you're already doing with Igbos and Hausas?

You can't pay same minimum wage and sell fuel cheaper in SW. Never!

Minimum wages are different from States to States.

With deregulation, Marketers can fix their own prices.


ProEast can be buying Petrol from Dangote in Lagos at #255 per Litre and transportat the Petrol over 500 km in 48hrs to reach Okigwe or Ekwulobia and still be selling it at #255/Litre.

Maybe just maybe if you had created this your thread with point number two as a solution to the seemng lopsidedness in fuel prices and not just picking on the SW, you wouldn't come off as bigoted, arrogantly ignorant while receiving this needless lashing! Hey, we all can see through your "justice fighter" facade!

Its simple: why would someone travel from Maiduguri to go to Alaba to buy electronics or spare parts? Its simply because it s cheaper compared to buying in shops in Maiduguri? Are Samsung electronics manufactured in Lagos? Nope! The farther that electronic has to travel the more expensive it gets!

When the railways come fully on stream, i mean like the PH-Maiduguri, it will cut down on the cost in the long run! Not forgetting the refineries such as the BUA refineries that will join Dangote Refinery and greatly increase our refining capacity thereby reducing costs as market forces come in to play.

Stop crying fowl where there is none. You are actually the one who is being smart by half or chose not to be smart at all.

Please educate us, tell us where 90% of the tank farms are located. This is what I hate about people who are not objective. You always deliberately ignore facts and appeal only to emotions.

Fuel distribution as it is now is not from where it is "sourced" but from where it is "stored"

90% if not all the major tank farms are located in Lagos. That's a FACT.

If you consider the logistics of moving it from Lagos to other parts of the country, it will cost less to move it to Southwest states than to move it to other regions. That's a FACT.


Stop being unnecessarily emotional just like so many others like you on this thread, try and be FACTUAL when you want to criticize.

Please correct me.

In a free market, if a marketer get petrol from the port and sell in Lagos for #500 because he dosen’t need too much transport out of state. Should the same marketer use like 1million for example to transport his tanker to like let’s say Owerri from Lagos and sell the same fuel for #500?
