PERSONAL experienceVanguard INSIGHT’s experience at NNPC Kosofe bus-stop, along Ikorodu/Mile 12   Road, in Lagos was an eye opener in this regard as some motorists who were on queue for more than three hours on a particular night could not get the commodity to buy. However, information later  filtered in that it was being sold at a nearby taxi park.  Approached for information on fuel purchase,  one of the attendants actually advised our correspondent to go to the taxi park to source for the commodity.

FUEL scarcity has over the years become a recurring decimal in Nigeria, a problem that has intractably defied every solution by successive administrations in a country which is a major crude oil producer, but ironically a major importer of refined petroleum products.

Beginning from 2016, we have continued to devote significant capital budgetary allocations in our annual budgets as government counterpart funding for the railways

Collectively, as a people we have failed Nigeria; destroyed it! Castrated it! Right now, the nation is being built on falsehood because as a people, we have filtered away its pride and strength as the most populous black nation in the world. We have lost the foundation upon which the nation was created by the founding fathers that fought for our independence. We have lost a country. This is the irony of a country called Nigeria.

It was Thomas Hobbes, the 17th century English philosopher, who in his seminal work, Leviathan, put a magnifying lens on what he termed “the natural condition of mankind.”
