In Nigeria, the means of cooking and powering homes, and many other things comes by means of kerosene. Within the past month, Nigeria’s government has nearly doubled the price of this crutial gas, making simple everyday tasks like cooking an impossibly difficult task. The local markets were selling kerosene for 50 Nigerian dollars before, and now, Nigerians can no longer purchase the gas there. They restricted the Nigerian people to buy it only at certain filling stations that have the prices jacked up nearly twice the normal rate.
With Christmas right around the corner, many families who can no longer afford the rate, may be seeking for aid on the holidays. Nigeria has crude oil, but are expending their means to import foreign oils, which in return is raising prices for locals. The nation has upset the people, and the people are left to be upset. Due to the high price, many people are seeking the electric stove route, with only one problem… No electricity. Something has got to give, either the gas price, or the introduction of technology.
