She's obviously in her 30's then. So she's either dead or wrinkled by now

This is to inform you that Nigeria in 1994 is the same as Nigeria in 2024. Nothing changed and will never change. For those of you who kept saying that Nigeria will be good one day, keep dreaming. Your unknown great, great grandparents were born in suffering Nigeria, great grandparents, your parents, and now you are in a system that never changed and will not change. The only change is that you are getting older and dying away while the system continues to get worse!!!!!!!

The OP has a different intention: that Tinubu should not be blamed for the fuel scarcity as it has existed as far back as 1994. Ass licker!

This NONSENSE has been happening since 1994. The biggest casualties of one Nigeria are those who still believe that this shithole can work.

This was the year Sowore was beaten black and blue by cult boys in Unilag. He was treated at LUTH.I don't know if he went to other hospitals later.

Nupeng was on strike for like 3 months which led to fuel scarcity. Officially, a litre of petrol was 22 per litre (not too sure) but was sold black market for 50/litre.

1994 during the dark years of Abacha.

The truth is that Nigeria isn't moving forward. If you listen to Fela's songs of which most were sang in the 70s and 80s. 95% of the problems he highlighted are still being experienced today. Infact, they've become worse.

Fela is nothing but a critic who has no moral values whatever. You can imagine if Fela is the President of Nigeria. grin grin grin.

Nigeria to be very honest has moved forward. Very way forward. That's the truth.

She’s beautiful, well-spoken: Nigerians seek woman who spoke out against fuel scarcity in viral 1994 TV clip

Nigerians are on a quest to uncover the identity of a woman who eloquently spoke in a TV story about fuel scarcity 30 years ago.

A social media user Jackie, who identifies as #JWEZEE had shared the video with the caption, “On this day April 30 1994, same day same time, only difference 30years ago.

“Nigerians in long fuel queues lamenting, 30years later they are still lamenting. And In another 30years will still lament, why? Because patterns don’t lie.”

In the video, which has since gone viral, Nigerians were seen queuing to purchase fuel and lamenting their predicament as citizens waiting in long queues with their gallons to buy fuel.

The woman passionately addressed the unfairness of soldiers skipping queues to resell fuel, highlighting a longstanding problem.

She said in part, “You have the soldiers that come, they buy petrol, they put it in jerry cans they sell it right in front of these people, it’s ridiculous.

“They get the fuel themselves, why do they have to come here, they don’t join the queue, they just buy and they sell right in front of people, it’s ridiculous. Something has to happen.”

The 30-year-old video which recently surfaced coincides with the current fuel price hike across the country. Currently, the country is facing fuel scarcity and price hike, with fuel being sold at N900 per litre in some states. This has affected the price of goods in the nation.

Nigerians are intrigued by the woman’s articulate speech

Social media users have expressed admiration for her eloquence and seek to learn more about her.

Dele Ajala, wrote, “That lady spoke so eloquently and passionately like an activisit, wonder where she is today, 30years after….interesting. I wonder where the lady speaking in the video is today?”

A social media user, The Anon who identifies as #btisin_advocate wrote, “Make social media find that woman or her offspring”

Man Go, who posts anonymously as #shareorgasm wrote , “Let’s look for the lady ?”

DJ Sammie who identifies as #Sammie10111 said, “If she is still alive she will probably be in her 60’s while experiencing same pattern 30 years ago. Nigeria is not a real place”

Hillzy writes, ” Unrelated but I need that lady’s number.”

Best African Actor who posts anonymously as #yosoye_elisha wrote, “Where is this Lady now? Who has her contact?:

Segun, who identifies as #1Segun1 wrote, “What’s her @?”

Mustapha who posts as #ctrlaltmustapha wrote, “You cant get 100 people who can pronounce “ridiculous” like that in the whole of Lagos, who’s mum is this?”

That's a nostalgic video clip.

That was during the late Chief Frank Ovie Kokori-led nationwide oil workers strike in protest against the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Presidential elections.

That young lady in the video wasn't more than 30-years-old as of 1994... So, she gonna be in her late 50s right now if she's still alive.

Racoon:
The citizens are really funny. Admiring a beautiful lady that spoke out against the lawless of soldiers in fueling the fuel scarcity of 1984. Meanwhile, have the situation changed 30 years thereafter? Absolutely no!

The speaking ought to have been more louder now with more affirmative action, but most have leagued with their corrupt oppressors. Ask the chalartan Occupy and Save Nigeria groups of 2012 - 14.

I told ariesbull, in the next 20 to 30 years, Nigeria will still remain where it is. Things will even get worse. Nigeria will never be better in this generation until something drastic is done about those cabals tieing down the country with corruption.

You can imagine! As at 1994, I was a 6 years old young boy still wearing pant dancing in the rain. A young boy who had always used to the phrase Nigeria will be great again. Now, 30yrs later, I am now a full grown man, and still, Nigeria still remains the same. Nothing has truly changed. Electricity has not been stable. If nothing has changed for the past 30yrs, is it now that things will be better? Of course not.

Only a revolution can save Nigeria and make Nigeria great again. Without that, we go nowhere. We will just be going through same cycle year in year out.

A revolution that will make corrupt leaders run helter and skelter. After that, a new country will be born whereby all leaders will be held accountable in offices. You mess up, they kick you out. That's it!

But before that, I will surely secure my unborn kids future in a saner clime. We will return when Nigeria turns a new live.

Seun needs to help investigate this fuel stuff.. I was driving to idiroko border.. Imagine a small boy telling me, he wants to check my fuel gauge. He was saying this to me while stretching hand to receive 200n from a bike man carrying fuel. Since we have removed fuel subsidy.. what are we afraid of?

No, Nigeria is making progress but at a terribly slow pace. Fuel scarcity is not the only factor used to measure whether a country is growing or not.

Over 30 years this problem has been consistent.
Now somebody will tell you to believe in a better Nigeria.

Grandstar, how's it going? Did you also attend Unilag back in the day for your Uni education?

Omo! Omoyele Sowore was dealt with by those campus gangs who didn't like the fact that he was leading an anti-campus gang war.

They got hold of him and injected him with a substance that till date, Omoyele and the rest of the world don't know what the syringe contained.

I still had a copy in my archives of the 1994 Guardian newspaper that featured Omoyele's picture after being injected and hospitalized in Lagos.

Unilag was that brutal back then.
