Are Nigerian petrol prices really doubling? [View in browser](=.TDgqr-L0YFND1q23GaTcfiIenuXDbJYB1XNjIXVX8lw) [Zikoko Daily] 3 January, 2024 Hey . Your besties at Zikoko have resumed for the year, so we’re back to our daily 4 p.m. gist sessions. I’m stoked! Meanwhile, fuel really saw all our “New year, new me” posts and decided to follow the memo, because why did I wake up this morning to hear we may soon buy it at ₦1200/litre in Nigeria? God, abegeth thee. 😭 Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [₦1200/Litre of fuel: Here’s why Nigerians are worked up about it](=.PbMOw82IVf2dF8A9pft9vab4SPXrdQ-74ZXEFNClZWE) - 2 [6 questions we have about “A Tribe Called Judah”](=.E2HKpgf09jerPpdgd1uS73uKUjcnpuw5GHxWjOeeYxM) - 3 [How to sleep your way to the top in Nigeria](=.9X9iGClhHaBE5GKP3T77K_QKinMHY-lGCXjCtha7giM) SHORT READS What’s Wrong With Lagos People? =.DI8gqh4lIK7yOfNSZXednEY-fDGz9TibeRnF5ygo9pU “Before I moved to Lagos some months ago, I’d heard stories about how “mad” the people are, but I wasn’t prepared for the level of insanity I’ve seen so far. I knew my biggest struggle would be the yellow buses, conductors and drivers. Maybe it was beginner’s luck, but I didn’t have issues with them at first. They all seemed nice and always tried to involve me in conversations, which I didn't mind most of the time. That was until one particular day when I sat in front, close to the bus door. A man was sitting beside the driver. When we got to his bus stop, I had to step down to let him leave. Unknown to most of us, the driver had parked wrongly and was trying to get out of there in a hurry. According to him, I was too slow to get back in, so he proceeded to scream at me, hurling insults and ranting about how I wanted him to get arrested. I was so shocked I started crying. Since then, I’ve seen and experienced worse situations that always make me pause to wonder, “What’s wrong with Lagos people?” — Rii. Your story could be the next one featured here.

This time, it’s rumours of an increase to ₦1200 per litre.
