Lai Muhammed, Oba Akiolu, e.t.c.
There is no Fuel Scarcity here... There's enough supply.. It's just the price...

Maybe we're not on the same wavelength bro. Am talking about the one particular tribe/ethnic group that hypes itself and taunts every other group in Nigeria that it's superior to them in every way imaginable. The saviour of the African race, that develops everywhere else in Nigeria, the only "hardworking" tribe in Africa", the tribe of "no man's land", the Oga pata pata of chest-beating.

Am I getting across now? ?

Samchelsea:
Anything from the S/east always give you guys sleepless nights that's why you've rushed to create this thread with your bullsh*t story.

Well Sam, you may not think so but this is not a bullshit. I am just correcting the impression that we are above Nigeria's problems.

The last time I checked, we Igbos are still part of a united Nigeria. And Nigeria's problems affect us as much as it affects the others.

Boy listen up, the Nigerian economy is going through some challenge and every part of the country is affected, but the situation is not thesame in all part of the country. I am not happy that there is scarcity, the cost of transport have rised by 200% here in Lagos. The situation is not rosy in the east but it is not as bad when compared to the west and north. I pray this scarcity ends soonest. I am not in trouble.

ugojamali:


Boy if u don't understand the real situation of things then u won't. The entire nation has not had electricity for three days. Fuel is so scarce that you'd be lucky to find it. And most people can't afford to buy it at that cost. In a few days food prices will skyrocket. Telecoms may shut down.

Tell me again why you don't think that you're in trouble? Yes you!

I know but you shouldn't have bothered creating this thread cos you've made it look like all Igbos are too proud and arrogant and this is really bad. Your impression is that since the Igbos claim that the fuel scarcity is not affecting them then they are bad people and any news that will show that there is actually fuel scarcity in the east will be a welcomed development. Am an Igbo, I live in Lagos and so am also feeling the pain myself, I have called my relatives in the east and they too are facing the same hardship, so your intention of creating this topic is bad.

Boy pray very hard. And remain optimistic. Cos if this continues I still maintain you're in trouble. However rich you are.

The hope is that a new government is coming. Maybe things will change fast

Lol. Some of them have forgotten that they are still a part of Nigeria, at least until Nigeria grants them independence

When i tell most Nairalanders to disregard kids who come online and spew trash, most wouldn't listen.
I bought #200/L today along Limca road in Onitsha this morning, most fuel stations are closed.
Awka road, it's up to #300/L if you see, fares had all increased suddenly.
Can't believe it's same Onitsha that sold #110-150/L last week.

Again Sam you get me wrong. I made reference to posts I read yesterday here. I'm sure you saw it too. Many of us gave silly reasons why scarcity was not affecting us. I say they're silly because they were not economically valid arguments.

Now today scarcity has started affecting us. And it made me wonder... Where then are the illegal refineries and the big shot marketers? Where then are the brains that turn water to fuel?

I'm not bashing my people cos I'm from anambra, I live and work in anambra. I'm just saying that as long as Igboland is part of a united Nigeria, then we suffer what Nigeria suffers. We are not above Nigeria.

OduaVanguard:


Hello? ? ? GEJ is still the president o, last time I checked. So what do you mean by "now that he is out"? This scarcity is still his mess, he should clean it up fast coz APC won't take credit for it.

Some of them are so clueless like their leader, claiming now that we have voted for Buhari as if it's not jonathan that is in power

well there is no need of dragging issues here, my point still remains that as human beings we are sometimes sentimental and am sure the same thing would have occurred if any other part of the country was having access to fuel like the East does, its a Nigerian problem and the sooner or later we all tell ourselves the truth about one Nigeria the better, look at how some section of the country are bashing Ifeanyi Uba for deciding to lift petroleum products, even labeling him a thief and yet some people they know very well are still hoarding theirs. Something is really wrong with the Nigerian setup

The North isn't really feeling the scarcity, but if we continue like this it may begin to bite. There is no point bragging when the danger is imminent. It would be very easy for your leaders to exploit you while you keep bragging about imaginary prowess.

What would you say about the far north and middle belt? Apart from Abuja they probably have more access to fuel than the East but aren't bragging. Which is even relatively cheaper, sane humans don't brag with such situation.

Thanks. But to be honest, I do engage in the occasional bragging. Though it's only when it's sensible to brag. Excessive bragging makes u look foolish.

like I said its just a general assumption, if you ask a Benue man he'll tell they have fuel in their state just like someone from Bayelsa will tell you but if some from the eastern part says the same thing then it becomes a show off, my family lives in Enugu and believe you me, the fuel situation is affecting them, they haven't said anything but because a section of the populace comes out to say the are having fuel doesn't mean they speak for the general populace and its a "chest beating". Condemning show manship is good but labeling every Igbo man arrogant and proud is painful. Mind you most of those saying there is fuel in the east are not even residing there but are just corroborating what they heard. So in essence if you want to make a point always refrain from generalizing it and only condemn those involved.

Before nko? Anambra man and bragging are like 5 & 6. It is in their blood.

I totally get that. It's an African thing. I'm sure, with the exception of Hausa's, others would probably brag too. Hausas are probably not bragging because they have bigger problems to worry about.

If I hear? ? Those guys were GEJ mouthpieces -- they only hype GEJ and maybe themselves.

Talk true bro, we may be better than you guys at a lot of things but chest-beating surely isn't one of them!

Stop being irrational & tribalistic and face challenges that lies at your front.

Just yesterday most south easterners were boasting that we would not experience scarcity. Many Noelle names were mentioned. Others bragged that we have hundreds of illegal refineries therefore scarcity would never hit us. Many said we were all so hard working and industries and had the brain to change water into fuel.

Fast forward to this morning. Awka capital of Anambra. I bought fuel two days ago at 140 per litre. Also two days ago half the filling stations in awka had fuel do I can understand why many of us developed that false sense of security. This morning I went out to buy real...

All those stations were closed down. There was just no fuel. It took me a thirty minutes drive round the city to find fuel. I finally found it close to the anambra/Enugu border. The queue was massive.

And the cost? 170 per. Relatively cheaper you'd say... Across the road another station was selling but at 200 per. I got a frantic call from a friend who told me he bought for 250 in some village off Awka. He had to travel all the way to that village to get fuel.

I asked a friend in asaba. He said they now buy for 240 but it's so damn hard to get.

Scarcity is hitting all of us. We in the South East should not brag about immunity. We are all doomed.

welcome to reality..

You are a big fool for saying southeast there Is fuel scarcity in umuahia and it Is been sold at the price of 160 dude

Ok. Let the drum bit. And let the dance begins.

filling stations are hoarding Petrol here in onitsha. Those that dispense,sell between 200 and 250 naira per litre.

Demburrows:
lies, the awka pupulace can never run out of something to fuel their something, go to various homes in s/e and see cans in tons of already stored pms.
pic below awka boy fueling his ride with something even more expensive. fuel scarcity o man bu our portion, ewotago.

Me thinks you are an illiterate

Since you and your South West cronies voted him out, I hope your General has a plan to fix the current crises by Friday and yes, APC claimed to know how to solve all problems in Nigeria within 4 years so they'll be held accountable from May 29th.
