Meanwhile angry Nigerians took to the internet to vent their frustrations following the new price hike. Popular singer Joeboy stated on X (formerly Twitter), “We’re an oil-producing nation with fuel scarcity. Nigeria is unbelievable.”
Another X user #Seriousist added, “Nigerians finished protesting, and after seeing how weak the protest was, President Tinubu hit them with another fuel price increase for wasting his time.”
Tomi, with the username #tomiwebstr, expressed bitterness following the latest hike, saying it would make life even harder. “Fuel is likely to stabilise at N1300-1500 per litre. The dollar has stayed above N1600, electricity is now unaffordable, and food? It’s a whole other issue. And when you try to complain, they accuse you of treason. I’m exhausted.”
“Nigeria is learning a tough lesson, and only God can save this country from the cold grip of APC,” Moses Emeka commented on Instagram.
Oluwabukolami Agboola prayed for God’s intervention amid the hike. “You all have done enough; it’s time for God to intervene. This is too much,” she stated on Facebook.
Iorwuese Geshi believes that if Nigerians weren’t peaceful people, the fuel price increase would have triggered severe repercussions. “In other places, no one would have had to tell Tinubu that there’s a problem,” Geshi wrote.
A frustrated John Odey stated, “Will there ever be a day when we wake up to the news of a significant price drop for anything in this country? Just one day?”
“Nigeria is the only country that’s giving God a headache,” Ezekiel Emmanuel jokingly remarked.
David Jacob expressed his disappointment saying, “They keep intimidating Nigerians, and yet some still support this ruthless government. They’ve monopolized Dangote fuel to profit from it, making life difficult for Nigerians. The scripture says, ‘The wickedness of the wicked shall be upon them.’”
