Fuel Scarcity Commotion - Which Way Nigeria?

Scarcity of the PMS product or petrol, persists in Lagos and other Nigerian cities.

This lingering development has caused undue hardship and restriction on movements, increase in transportation fare, grid locks on our roads among others.

This "no fuel" situation, coupled with the '0% electricity supply, is negatively affecting the economy as Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs), most of which depend on electricity are frustrated and at the rim of folding.

Prices of goods and service very steeply increased, commuters endure the heat under scourging sun, as they wait long hours for commercial vehicles in the various bus-stops across the city. And when you get home, no cold water to cool you down as our refrigerators have turned to cupboards where we store water and non-perishables (them no born you well to store perishable). 

At nights, you are forced to sleep under immense heat or open the doors and windows to attract hungry mosquitoes; better still, sleep outside in mosquito tents as seen in the picture below.

Sound sleep under air conditioners and fan is now a luxury, for those who can afford to buy diesels and a 25-liter-gallon of fuel at the black market for =N=8,500, for generators. 

Currently the economy is ran mostly by the private sector, as Nigerians await Mr President to give consent to the budget. Talking about 'budget delay'.... some civil servants are yet to receive their wages for some months now. 

Which way Nigeria?

Taiwan Toddler Killing -Mother Urged Well-Wishers To Transfer Goodwill Into "Action For Society"!

Claire Wang, 36-year-old mother of a four-year-old Taiwanese girl  nicknamed "Little Light Bulb" who was brutally decapitated by a seemly insane man, has urged well-wishers to transfer their goodwill towards the family into "action for society" instead, to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Taiwanese public, exploded in anger after the killing of "Little Light Bulb", as angry mob dealt severely with the perpetrator (pictured below).

Claire Wang's message below:

"Since young, I have always felt that I am very lucky during my growing-up years and throughout my life. The people around me are such good people and I have always felt so much love and care. Be it my family, school, work, or society. I have always felt contented, because of all of you... who made me believe in the good of this world... Perhaps, Little Light Bulb felt the same too, as she has always said that this world is a beautiful place.

"However, in this society, there are still many people in less beautiful worlds, they still have many inadequacies, psychological inadequacies, materialistic inadequacies.

"Psychologically, let's wait for everyone to slowly regain that kind and beautiful piece of mind.

"Materialistically, let's implore everyone to turn their kind wishes for Little Light Bulb into concrete action, and help pass on her love for this beautiful world.

"Like what we have told the media, what we have written on Facebook, really, we have received all your sincere wishes, and as for material comforts, please turn them directly into real action to support those organisations in need.

"However, the memorial area remains full, and it was so full that we were overwhelmed... As always, we have benefited from society, but have yet to repay society anything. In this moment and time, it is still so. David and I are unable to accept so, so many blessings, we truly feel incapable of repaying them in the future. Such overwhelming blessings and the inability to reciprocate have made us very afraid... afraid that our lives will be shortened.

"In the future, we still have a long way to go, many children to take care of, we are truly afraid that by receiving too much, we will be extremely indebted as well... We really hope that everyone can transform their good wishes into action for the society, let Little Light Bulb continue shining on brightly, which I believe is what she came into this world for.

"Do your part to fill every corner of our society with love, do your part to make every person in our society feel content, only then will such incidents never happen again."

Britons Will Be Fattest People By 2025!

A recent largest ever obesity study conducted by researchers at the Imperial College London found that nearly four in 10 Britons will be dangerously overweight by 2025.

The experts blamed this development on the government for failing to bring in higher taxes on sugary foods and drinks, stating that the crisis has become a ‘national tragedy’. The study also showed within ten years from now, a lot of people will be severely obese so much so that drugs as statins and beta-blockers which lower blood pressure, cut cholesterol and taking by millions of older people will stop working, leaving them with surgery options to prevent disease and early death.

UK Renewables Break New Records As Electricity Bills Drop!

A recent publication (new figure) by the U.k indicates that renewable electricity generation in 2015 increased by 83.3 TWh, a 29% higher that 2014’s 64.7 TWh, resulting in drastic fall in electricity bills.

According to the report, wind energy grew 26%, currently powering 9.8 million households in the UK. Solar output increased to 86%, while bioenergy grew a modest 28%. 

Due to the closure of numerous coal mines around the country, coal output was  at 27% lower than it was in 2014. Indicating that coal imports are dropping 39%, as generators’ demand for coal fell 24%, reportedly its lowest level ever.

With an almost 0% electricity supply all over the country, why cant this be replicated in Nigeria?
