What a season! Endless queues at fuel stations, black market sales in broad daylight and fuel sales in unauthorized and unsafe locations where a mistaken strike of a match stick can result in agonising infernos.
There is absolutely no reason why Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria residing among us should be subjected to this indignity, especially in a season of love and peace, at a time when the country is taking her place in the comity of nations.
Beloved Nigerians, there is no dignity, no love in subjecting fellow Nigerians to the indignity of endless long queues at fuel stations no matter the season. It is not only a flagrant abuse of our rights as a people called by the name, Nigeria, but it is also a way of telling the whole world how cruel we can be to one another.
Painfully, this is a conspiracy by both big and small fuel business owners to make quick money. How terribly disgusting and inhuman. This should not be allowed to continue. It is time we told ourselves some home truths about oppression at whatever levels and how it all boils down to the trampling of the peoples rights. It is sheer evil to hoard and deny fuel to the people whose taxes help subsidise the importation of the fuel that profits you.
A word they say is enough for the wise.
