A Nigerian man has generated outrage online when a video of him complaining about the rising cost of fuel went popular on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the emotive footage, the man moaned bitterly about how ₦100,000 worth of fuel could no longer fill his automobile tank, and asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restore fuel subsidies.
The man, who appeared extremely distressed, repeatedly pleaded with the president, also known as “Jagaban,” claiming that the current scenario was pushing him to the brink.
“₦100,000 Cannot Fill My Tank”
In the video, he said, “100K for fuel. E no go fill my tank. Dear Jagaban, please. Please, bring back subsidy. Tinubu, my life is on verge of scattering because of this fuel.”
The speaker revealed that he spends up to ₦300,000 every week on petrol expenses.
“Now I’m buying fuel of 100,000. E no dey full my tank. Jagaban, bring back subsidy. We are dying,” he added.
Compares the situation to drug addiction.
The man also offered an interesting comparison, suggesting that his predicament seemed worse than that of a heroin addict because of the ongoing financial pressure.
“I don’t know the difference between me and a drug addict. As at Nigeria today, drug addict is better than me because I’m buying fuel,” he said.
