Fuel Scarcity Hits Lagos, Litre Goes For 120
DAILY POST observed that while some of the independent marketer claimed that petrol was not available for sale, some that were selling sold the product at the rate of N120 per litre rather than the official pump price of N87. When DAILY POST visited some filling stations at Iyana-Ejigbo area on Wednesday, they were under lock and keys while others were selling at high price. When this reporter tried to inquire from one of the fuel attendants, she simply replied, ‘go and ask Buhari’.
Speaking with DAILY POST, a motorcyclist, who gave his name as Oriade complained bitterly that he managed to buy five litres from black marketers for N700.
“Bro, I just bought five litres for N700 around Chris Idowu. This sudden fuel scarcity is annoying. I have gone to all the filling stations around Ejigbo here but no one is selling. Even the people selling are killing us with price, aside the queue”, she said. Oriade called on the federal government to do something about it before it went out of control.

The Fear Of A Corp Member
Let me start by introducing myself.
I am Gozie and I graduated from Geology department from one of our Federal Universities in Nigeria (name hidden for confidential reasons).
Well, I am currently serving in Akwaibom state and will pass out next year by April, but I have great fear borthering me sometimes, and that is LIFE AFTER NYSC.
I am an ardent visitor of Job and Vacancy section and I always read some threads created by Job seekers complaining of how Nigeria is devoid of employment and each time I see it, I feel disturbed.
REASONS WHY I AM AFRAID OF LIFE AFTER NYSC
1......My parents are both in the village and I dont have anyplace to go to after service while waiting for employment because I wont like to stay in the village.
2.........Though I graduated with Second Class Upper, I dont have any single connection in the industry and I have been reading posts of how life without connection can be miserable for a job seeker.
3........The highest I can save from this NYSC scheme is 100k, which is not enough capital to venture into any reasonable thing in Nigeria.
Please I seriously need your advice on what to do in other to get Job immediately I finish service next year April because that is the only surest way to raise capital.
I plan to relocate to PH and rent house there while waiting for employment because PH is well industralized and there are lots of oil companies , construction companies and other companies related to my course located in PH.
Looking forward to hearing your response.
