I saw various posts on the social media, criticising federal government's reduction of gasoline(PMS or Petrol) pump price from N97 to N87. More worrisome is the fact that some of our youths join the bandwagon in the criticism.
I wonder why we have some youths of our country who can not make use of their brains to ponder on issues that would further enrich the country. Present day youths are being tossed around by the older ones and sometimes, by illiterates.
Drivers paid an average of $2.2021 a gallon for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps of recent in the US (do some confirmation) 1US gallon = 3.7854ltrs $2.2021 = N398.58 (@ exchange rate of N181/$) Therefore, 1gallon = N398.58 ÷ 3.7854ltrs = N105.29/ltr in the US
Meanwhile, in Nigeria, after taking into consideration, landing costs and other expenses, it is N85/ltr for the same litre of gasoline yet people are ignorantly ranting on social media and elsewhere. Between Nigeria and the US, which is better? What has happened to some present day youths in my dear country, Nigeria? Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan has indeed shown that he has the interest of Nigerians at heart.
