‘N10k for 25 litres’ – Customs to auction 15,325 litres of seized petrol

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) is firmly announcing the auction of 15,325 liters of seized Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) to the public.
This product will be made available at a price of N10,000 for every 25 liters, effectively addressing transportation challenges during the festive season.
The announcement was made by the National Coordinator of Operation Whirlwind, ACG Hussein Ejibunu, during a press briefing at the Customs Training College in Ikeja over the weekend, as contained in a statement on NCS’ Facebook page on Tuesday.
“The National Coordinator of Operation Whirlwind, ACG Hussein Ejibunu, has announced that 15,325 litres of seized Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS) will be auctioned to the public to ease transportation hardship during the festive season,” the statement read in part.
Ejibunu added, “The CGC has directed for Auctions of the seized product to members of the public at the rate of N10,000, per 25 litres”
The price of PMS at major fuel stations, including NNPCL and MRS, currently ranges from N899.50 to N970 per liter, with slightly higher prices at other stations.
This auction offers the public a chance to purchase fuel at a significantly lower cost, with the seized product priced at N10,000 for 25 litres, or N400 per litre. However, the statement did not specify the location or date of the auction.
The statement further provided that the auction is being conducted following the completion of all legal processes, including a court condemnation order.
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intensified efforts to combat the smuggling of petroleum products, focusing on preventing illegal exports to neighboring countries. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to address economic sabotage and ensure fuel availability within Nigeria.
Since 27 May 2024, the NCS has been conducting operations under “Operation Whirlwind,” specifically targeting the seizure of smuggled petroleum products.
According to the Service, this initiative has yielded significant results, disrupting smuggling networks and deterring further illegal activities.
In October, a similar development when the NCS disclosed it was selling seized petrol from smugglers in Northern Nigeria at a subsidized rate. Just weeks earlier, the Service in the Northeast announced the auctioning of seized petrol at N630 per litre, highlighting its commitment to curbing smuggling while addressing fuel scarcity in underserved areas.
The Comptroller General of Customs (CGC) has commended the operatives for their dedication and urged them to sustain the momentum until the activities of these economic saboteurs are eradicated.
This ongoing effort highlights the NCS’s resolve to safeguard the nation’s economy and promote equitable access to petroleum products.

“Nigeria Only Belongs To Hausa and Yoruba” – Fayose Declared; Netizens React

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has sparked nationwide controversy after declaring that Nigeria belongs only to the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups.
In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Fayose dismissed the long-standing belief that Nigeria’s unity rests on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
He claimed that the Igbos have been marginalized and not counted among the country’s dominant groups.
He stated: “They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, but that’s a lie… take out that Igbo, stop including them because it’s a lie.”
The remarks have triggered widespread backlash, with many Nigerians accusing him of promoting ethnic hatred and fueling disunity.
Others, however, agreed with his statement, describing it as “an honest truth” about Nigeria’s politics.
Netizens Reactions…
@olaoluwasunnyman reacted: “Honest truth.”
@chefnoka said: “History will never forget you, brother. I’m not Igbo, but I love the way you speak and stand for the truth. We need it to move this nation forward.”
@newbilliy commented: “I’m Yoruba but an Igbo President will make Nigeria great. I love Igbo people and their business mindset.”
@beautyjunctiongh wrote: “God bless you, my brother, for saying the truth.”
@benedictoguama asked: “Where is Jonathan from?”
@daveiyke_donnegro stated: “@isaacfayoseoriginal_ God bless you Sir for speaking the truth. I wish other Nigerians can shun tribalism and unite for the progress of Nigeria. Tribalism us a tool against Nigerians and the unity of Nigeria. Politicians have weaponized tribalism which enables them thrive in continued political and socioeconomic incompetence.”
@realtundr4 added: “I agree with what you said, sir, but look at it, does igbo really have d right candidate? Obi is just chameleon to me he’s not real, neither do they have the leadership experience as our current president @officialasiwajubat, the one and only politician that have ever created more millionaires and successful individual in the whole nation. Make we leave hatred, JAGABAN na baba.”
@wellingtonisgreat commented: “@wellingtonisgreat said: “Nigeria belongs to everybody not hausa, yoruba, igbo, Benin have not been president before let us go? You dey talk anyhow.”
@richeart4u said: “Those that have been president, were they given free or charge? Was there a law that stopped Igbo man from being a president? How do people become a president? Or do you mean Igbo have never been allowed to contest for presidency? Same things goes to women too, why are women not hugely represented in all positions even presidency? No one is stopping anyone from becoming anything, you just have to change your strategy and alignment. You can’t be doing same thing over the years and not get the desired result and still want to stick to that failed pattern to achieve a new result. Igbo people and their candidate must be encompassing. Hausa has been aligning more to Igbo people to get whatever position they wanted and why are they not returning the favour hugely? Align to anyone that can boost your change of winning and be well accommodating and understanding the power of choices and politicking. I might be wrong 0000. Na ma small knowledge I take respond oooo.”

Health challenges affect everyone, regardless of their social status or position in society.
These issues can arise unexpectedly and often catch individuals off guard, emphasizing the importance of proactive health measures and proper care.
This reality serves as a crucial lesson for political stakeholders and those in public office.
Elisabet Lann, the new swedish health minister, made a dramatic debut as she collapsed on her first day on the job during a press conference.
As reported by The Straits Times, Lann had joined Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and other political colleagues at the media briefing on Tuesday, September 9, the same day she was appointed to the role following the sudden resignation of her predecessor.
CNN also noted the scary moment.
Videos, which have gone viral on social media, show Lann swaying while officials are taking questions from reporters.
Following the collapse, Ebba Busch, the deputy prime minister of Sweden, was seen assisting Lann, who was later able to stand and address the media.
Lann told reporters, according to Swedish daily Aftonbladet.
“This wasn’t really a normal Tuesday, and this is what can happen when you have low blood sugar.”
