What the High fuel price has caused in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State

 

While on Okada moving along Afikpo road today, I saw people on long queue in a petrol filling station. I asked the Okada man carrying me if he knows the reason for the long queue and he said that it's because the petrol station is selling at ₦617 per little. Immediately my eyes were engorged with tears 😭😭

How did Nigeria get here😭

Fuel that was ₦97 in no distant time! How do the commoners adapt to the sudden adjustment which is not gradually but skyrocketed from the least to the highest!

How will the Okada man survive the sudden surge in fuel price? Fuel is ₦650 per litre but those who patronize the Okada people price their service to a distance place at ₦200 😭. The motorcycle occasionally spoils and the services of repairers will be needed, Parts will be bought.

Severally, I have said, to me, meaning of subsidy removal in Nigeria is to build Nigeria owned and controlled refinery, and there won't be need to subsidize anything again. Anything far from that is to intentionally subject the masses to untold agony.

May God help Nigeria and force good purpose into our leaders.
