Exactly!! This is the real reason.

I'm very happy with this situation.

megainvest:
Of course. The volumes being smuggled out of the country have drastically reduced because the incentive has been removed.

kITATITA:

And they were receiving subsidy for the smuggled products

My brother,I don't use heavy equipments o. I noticed the consumption when fridge isn't on and when it is on,isn't much. How much is that yamaha gen you're talking of?

Project400:
Fact remains that sales on rice and tomatoes have equally dropped. It doesn't mean people stopped eating, they simply changed their taste - from fresh tomatoes to pepper and onions; from parboiled rice to garri; from air conditioned SUV to keke; from kerosene to bamboo sticks and charcoal.

I do not think the new transition is worth celebrating. Reduction in PMS sales is not good for anyone. It is bad market to the CEO of gas stations, to the people, and to the government.

AntiWailer:
That is better

Instead of them claiming they paid billions of subsidy on Petrol nobody bought.

The right thing is to adjust when the economy calls for it is to sacrifice for the future.

I hope our useless leaders sacrifice too.

In my house we now use 600 naira petrol for 3 nights (7:30pm-past 9) or anytime the fuel finishes. People hardly drive around unnecessarily $ I have stopped going out except it's "very important". Also,those that use gen in my area like it's Nepa light have stopped.

Ademat7:
how do u iron your cloths?

doingood:
No money to buy fuel. No light. Nigerian are use to managing their life anyhow, and some how.

blackpanda:
Why are they complaining. The day price of fuel was increased, all the petrol stations rushed to increase the pump. Even those that were still selling old stock. So dont complain when nigerians cant afford ur fuel. Is better u start drinking it or use it to make soup!

Eyop:


It depends on what you are powering with your Gen. An original Yamaha 950 sold by John Holt should last about 9 hours full tank which is just 4 litres of fuel.

TheTransformer:
Since I bought a 500 watts inverter and 200AH battery in May, I use 10 litres of fuel per week, previously I was using 4 litres of fuel per day (which is equal to 28 litres of fuel per week)!

PS: I am off the national grid. EKEDC (NEPA) cut my light in September 2015.

That 600 fuel will almost fill the 5litre keg, so I divide it into 3,tilt the gen towards the fuel outlet $ open that outlet slightly, forget it aye ti gbon,it will last ova 2hours $ i'll charge my phone $ do everything I need to do before it goes off, meanwhile i'm complaining that the gen is consuming too much fuel $i have taken it to the mechanic now for better conservation of fuel.
