my country people, I just say make I bring this new as the thing really dey pain me Wella. the country matter don tire me and many off us don confirm say the country dey worst even more. just dis morning, as I come dey check news na e I see this one wey talk
say cooking gas now na 1000 naira per kg and go likely increase for some places to 1200 per kg.
dis one pain me Wella as I come dey wonder weather our government want make people die for this country. normally, if all these petrol product dey go up, we no supposed dey fear if we get other source of cooking like light. light no dey, fuel price no be here. even kerosine come cost pass all of them. how common man go fit take survive for the country. watin dey cause the increase nobody knows and government jus dey silent. well, I no go took shout as we all don dey used to the problem for nija and no be new thing. but I wan use this topic take recommend another better alternative wey one of our members for nija board don drop with us for here to take battle these hard time together. I go advice make una also share Dem with una friend and neighborhood make Dem still try am if e go work for them.
Another better source of household fuel Available(methane gas)by DubemIfedigbo001this one na better and easiest source of gas wey I don hear about so far. I never try am sha but I go like make all of una try check am. Lastly, we should all add Nigeria to our prayers everyday because this country will not grow if we just sit down and don't do anything.
Please stop blaming the government over mediocre stuff. First lets do some review on how gas price surge to this level.
We need to understand that the government don't subsidized cooking gas as they does back then with petrol, so the marketers import the LPG(Liquified petroleum gas) and sell slightly above what they bought at the international price, they can sell at any how price because there is body that regulate sales price for all the marketers. The reason why we saw increment in sales of price of gas was because the price of crude oil has increase and that makes all the refined product from crude oil to increased in price as well, not only the price of gas that has increase, the petrol has increased as well but there speculation that the federal government has resume subsidizing of the petrol and that is why the price has remain the same, the marketers are not fools to sell at loss.
From the chart, you can see the price of oil was trading around $94 towards the end of September and that was when marketers raise their prices, the price went down to $84 but now it is currently trading around $87 as of today, so expect the price of petroleum product to reduce a little. This is not the first time price of gas does fluctuates, it goes up and down, its not a static market.
In addition to the price increment, the dollarization of the country is getting to an edge where solution need to be profound before things go out of hand, the naira has been depreciating against dollar which is also bad for people that import goods to the countries, if they sell gas in local currency and dollar increases, it means they will add more money to their capital before they can buy anything.
Various alternative means to get gas has been carried out and many research has been done but they have been abandoned. Do you know why?
That's because:
1. Cost of production energy might exceed the throughput.
2. Not readily available for masses.
3. They are not as clean as the LPG gases, there is possibility of more treatment after extraction of those gases because home gas is not a pure butane but propylene + Isobutane+ propane + butylene and butane. It's possible that other sources might not have these constituents or might even have an effluent which need adsorption to remove the contaminants.
The cost of gases might become affordable for poor man if the government interven and subsidize it but I doubt if the current government has any plan to do so right now.
