Nigerians express their anger over the current fuel scarcity being experienced in the country. See venting tweets below:
Your heart should stay inside your chest sir. You don't feel the same stress we feel, living in this country. You can never understand.
You've been living in luxury at least since you were V.P
You've never not had light or had to queue for fuel. https://t.co/vfPK9rIe7c— Makida Moka (@TheMakidaMoka) December 24, 2017

We met with Nigerians in fuel queues yesterday afternoon. Some of them told us they spent the whole night in the queue as they shared their experiences under the nationwide #fuelscarcity. Watch: https://t.co/OYyQ0qcgUu#VoxPopuli234

Someone should please tell @MBuhari that he is big time failure. His knowledge on how to run a nation is too low for zero; we don’t have a President in Nigeria #buharimustgo #fuelscarcity pic.twitter.com/8sKAZ6uUAu

In the east, a petroleum marketer around old artisan enugu sold fuel at #230 yesterday, DPR/DSS breezed in, forced him to sell at #145 for over 2hrs, when they left, he went back to #230, news filtered to DPR and they arrested him by 8pm later that nite. #DoYourPart #fuelscarcity

President @MBuhari doesn't give a damn about #FuelScarcity #EndSARS or whatever else those who elected him are crying about. The same man who understood what fuel queues cost in terms of man-hours a few years ago can't even be bothered to explain why this is happening now!

Good morning people, it is very sad that in a period like this when we should be holidaying we found ourselves in a horrible situation such as this #FuelScarcity, please give people ride, help someone going your route, this time will surely pass.
God bless you as you do.— Oluyemi Fasipe ?? (@YemieFASH) December 24, 2017
Tuface I really respect you but right now you need to keep shut. You're just as selfish as our leaders. During #EndSARS you said nothing. Now #fuelscarcity you want campaign because you're also concerned right?. Go and campaign with your extended family. #ourmumudondo. https://t.co/SpRrXhG8ej

6th largest producer of oil in the world but NO FUEL,
6th largest bitumen deposit in the world but NO GOOD ROADS,
Blessed with intellectuals and brilliant minds but RULED BY NESCIENT HOODLUMS AND SHAMELESS HUMBUGS…
Nigeria is a sorry case.#FuelScarcity

This is the 3rd fuel scarcity under Buhari in 2 1/2 years. First one was in Sept-December 2015. For 3 months Nigeria suffered but PMB didn't blink. Second one was in April/May 2016 which he cunningly increased fuel from N87 – N145 and now December 2017. Buhari and #fuelscarcity pic.twitter.com/hjw70oeshJ

Fuel is now 180 naira per litre and everyone is busy queuing to buy. No qualms at all. During GEJ’s tenure, we would have protested, locked down Abuja, Lagos, Ph. and even the trended #FuelScarcity on twitter and Facebook.#Nigerians #Oldfools ??? pic.twitter.com/ZJBmFMNqs6

The thing is, once fuel comes, Nigerians will forget the pain and just move on. Aren’t Nigerians special and wonderful people?
