Petrol Marketers in Nigeria Lament Ghost Buying At Filling Stations.
Petrol marketers across Nigeria have expressed frustration over the issue of “ghost buying” at filling stations, a practice that has disrupted sales and created challenges in fuel distribution. Ghost buying refers to instances where individuals or groups pre-purchase large volumes of petrol but do not immediately collect it, leaving station owners uncertain about stock levels and disrupting regular customer service.
The marketers note that ghost buying has contributed to artificial shortages, as pre-paid fuel reserves appear sold out even when the physical fuel remains on-site. This practice not only misrepresents actual demand but also creates operational headaches for petrol stations, as they struggle to manage stock and serve walk-in customers efficiently.
Industry representatives have called on regulatory bodies to address this issue, emphasizing the need for transparent fuel purchase systems and stricter controls to prevent such practices. According to marketers, ghost buying has also complicated efforts to stabilize fuel prices, as pre-purchased stock often sits idle or is held back to be sold at higher prices when demand spikes.
In conclusion, Nigeria’s petrol marketers are facing a growing problem with ghost buying, which has skewed sales dynamics and complicated inventory management. They call for urgent action from regulators to tackle this issue and promote a more stable, transparent fuel market.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
