Petrol Again!

And finally finally petrol now retails (officially) for N70 per litre across the nation (Nigeria).

Who are we to blame, Obasanjo, NNPC, Hugo Chavez, OPEC.

Since Obasanjo has vowed to privatize everything, alas this is one of the dividend of privaization, LOL.

Since we now buy fuel based on world market indices, we should now be able to stomach the resultant effect of what is probably going on in Venezuela, at least this should show us that the problem going on around the world is of utmost significance to us now.

For so long we have been able to take for granted the subsidy on fuel prices; now that Obasanjo is running a proper capitalism, we now see that nothing come for free.

I used to think that it’s bullshit for OBJ to be increasing fuel prices anyhow, but now I think they have a “genuine” reason. According to Minister of Information (Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr. Frank Nweke Jnr.,) he said 19 new power stations are now in the pipeline;( e be like say Nigeria go get some Nuke reactor sef, courtesy of N Korea).
The current increase won’t kill us at least, it will only make us “stronger” we have been groaning under this administration and am sure this is not going to be the last straw!

Nigerians, world market now determine our local market this is a true reflection of globalization. OBJ need to educate Nigerians on global economy and world matters.

I hope OBJ and his cronies will stop deceiving us about some “phantom” palliatives and safety, oh sorry un-safety net.
