Nigeria: Your future now
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Nigeria faces a shutdown as fuel becomes increasingly unavailable nationwide and prices doubled or tripled in some places.

    Petrol, diesel and even kerosene are longer being sold in 80% of fuel stations across Nigeria, according to reports by our correspondents.

    The situation is so critical that motorists are stranded at filling stations for a whole day. As a result transport fares have shot up sharply – in some places rising by 100% or more.

    Airlines have also cut flights by half, leaving passengers stranded and some angry for being forced to miss crucial business trips. All these are compounded by power generation which has dropped to all time low forcing critical services like hospitals, banks and telecoms to depend ever more on generator plants.

    What an epic fail - Nigeria being blessed with vast amounts of crude oil is unable to sustain a refinery infrastructure to satisfy the demand of its own. Add this to the poisoning of large parts of the Niger delta with crude oil, and it becomes clear that Nigeria is going to be yet another failed state. I'm sure somebody made good profits off this, and it's also forseeable that religous extremists will take advantage of the situation, just as they did in Libya and Iraq.

    I think the lyrics of Anne Clark's song "Abuse" pretty well match the history of Nigeria.

    It is not the epic fail. It is careful planning how specific colony must be organized.

    Yes, actually all of them are also magicians as they get all the food and weapons only using regular prayer.
