A man bought 1 litre of petrol for β¦1,300. Then he poured it inside a 4-litre container and stared at it. The amount was so small, the container looked almost empty. π³
He recorded a video. He did not shout. He did not cry. He just showed the fuel and let Nigerians do the rest. And they did. π£οΈ
“What is happening in Nigeria? Before, if there is any increase in fuel, protests everywhere. But now, we seem not bothered,” one person wrote. π
Another user dragged the system hard: “I keep saying it β the literates wey de work for office like slaves still de hold this country back!!”
Then someone else dropped a painful truth bomb: “Buying fuel β¦1,300 per litre inside generator to power your mobile device and come online to defend a failed government is another sign of mental illness.” π
The video has since gone viral. Not because it is funny. Because it is real. Too real.
People are now calculating how much it costs to fill a tank. How much to run a generator for a few hours. How much just to charge a phone. The numbers do not add up. But the fuel keeps climbing. π
Some Nigerians are angry. Some are tired. Some are just numb. But one thing is clear Β β¦1,300 for that tiny fuel? Everybody is feeling the pain. π
