Nigerians Bear The Ugly Cost Of Fuel Scarcity As May 29 Draws Near!
"The security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of the government"... section 14 (1) (b) of Nigerian constitution.
With almost every sector of the Nigerian economy threatening fire and brimstone should the federal government fail to meet their requests at this vulnerable transition period; Nigerians are left with no option but to, as usual bear the ugly brunt....
The persistent scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or petrol is really taking its toll on the average Nigerian, especially having being warned that this situation may linger till June, after the incoming administration must have been sworn in, on May 29,2015.

The persistent scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or petrol is really taking its toll on the average Nigerian, especially having being warned that this situation may linger till June, after the incoming administration must have been sworn in, on May 29,2015.
This is because oil marketers appears not to be in a hurry to further import the PMS product, due to uncertainties surrounding the payment of their outstanding =N=200 billion. It will be recalled that the Federal Government recently paid marketers about =N=154 billion as part of subsidy claims.
Situation Eating Deep Into People's Pocket
As a result, there is an alarming hike in transport fare, without a corresponding increase in the income of ordinary Nigerians...

Most commercial vehicles are either parked away, or in long queues at various gas stations across the nation.
NO PETROL / NO ELECTRICITY SITUATION
 |
| People on queue to buy the non available product, either for their cars packed at home, or for their generators, as coincidentally, electricity supply has been epileptic. |
- A trip of about =N= 100, is now doubled to about =N=200 or more.....
- A 10 liter gallon of fuel sells for =N=4000 at the black markets, on whose mercy the average Nigerian is abandoned.
- A 25 liters gallon of petrol that hitherto costs =N=3000 is being sold for =N=10,000 or more, at the black markets, that is three times the normal price.
School Children Not Left Out
Our correspondent was engaged in a conversation about this situation with a 'kabu-kabu' (carb) driver, and the man recounted how his son alongside other school children, trekked the very long distant (over a mile) from their school at Sangotedo to their home in Lakwe, along the Lekki - Epe express way.
The driver said he gave his son the sum of =N=200, being his to - and from school transport fare, =N=100 for each trip, unaware that the fare has been increased to =N=150. Unfortunately, the boy, who could not reach his father to pick him up, because he does not have a phone, was left with no option than to trek home with some other school children under the scourging sun, stopping along the way, at Fara Park area, to pluck some mangoes to eat, because they were hungry and tired; the young man got home sick that afternoon.

"The next day, my son told me he was not going to school, obviously afraid, as he did not want to go through that same ordeal again, even after I increased his fare. May God deliver us from this situation". he lamented.
Pictures of vehicles waiting for their turn to purchase fuel, which some stations sell between =N=130 or more, as against the =N=87 per liter official price.

While filling stations with no fuel supply is deserted....
We hope the various authorities and stake holders get to read this, we also believe they really mean well for Nigerians.
People are suffering as a result of the persistent fuel scarcity, the old, young, even school children...Nigerians don't deserve this.
A transition period should not leave the people it is supposed to bring 'goodwill to' in perpetual peril.
Tanker Drivers taking Over 1st Mainland Bridge....See Pictures!
Tanker drivers and other heavy duty vehicles have taken over 1st mainland bridge (Coming in from Custain/ Alaka), causing serious traffic ..
The road is only free when you get to the descent bridge leading to Ijora - Apapa...that is if you are headed inwards Lagos/ Victorian Island...
On the other hand, if you are headed towards Ijora, Apapa, or Ajagunle axis from the bridge, you are done for...."e'ekpelle" (sorry) is your name.
A journey of about 15mins from Costain - CMS in the afternoon and evenings, now takes almost an hour, we hope this is resolved soon, that the tanker/ heavy duty vehicles are told which route and times to ply the roads and that they are also made to comply.

Death Trap At Sangotedo, Lekki - Epe Express Way!
This bad spot, eating deeper into the express road, was spotted along Sangotedo, on Lekki - Epe express way, Lagos - Nigeria. It is one of the many danger zones along the Sangotedo - Ibeju-Lekki axis of the Lekki Peninsula.
Another bad spot as seen at Sangotedo, coming from Ibeju- Lekki, inward Ajah, Lagos.
These bad spots caused by erosion pose great danger to motorists, especially at night...The Lagos State Ministry in charge of roads should look into this and redress.
Shaiii.....See Inside Our BRT Buses!
Barely 7 years after it was introduced into the Lagos state transport system, as a means to encourage white collar executives to leave their cars at home, and go by commercial buses if possible, in order to check the unnecessary and inexplicable traffic situations on Lagos metropolis especially in the mornings and after close hours....
For this, the BRT and LAG Bus copied from the London metropolitan buses, when they first appeared on the scene, was the envy of other commercial buses, most of them had functional air conditioners and fans, good seats, and were very comfortable, making some executives actually leave their cars at home, to join the buses to and fro work...
The Brt and Lag buses, initially of high standard, is now a shadow of it's former self...
See pictures of inside an Ajah - Obalende- CMS brt bus....
Our maintenance culture is 2nd to none in Naija...
