Following the long queues that has greeted most filling stations in several parts of the nation, and the continual reassurances from the GMD of NNPC that the nation has enough supply of petroleum products to go round the federation, most Nigerians still continue to bicker about the chronic state of the nations petroleum sector amid recent crisis of fuel shortages and hike in price.
Consequently, the Nigeria National petroleum commission NNPC has revealed that only this year, a total of about half a billion liter of petroleum products have been stolen from the oil pipeline that link north -east from Lagos through the unholy activities of vandals and oil thieves.

Seemingly, While the above bask in a cuspidal political fashion, the European community wasn't left out in the dissection as they watched closely with tight-fisted arms. For the records, Brexit means Brexit. Nobody gave Jeremy Corbyn a chance as all eyes became fixated on Prime Minister May, in whose decision brought about the now anticipated snap election.
