A Nigerian man has stirred widespread reactions online after a video of him lamenting the soaring cost of fuel went viral on X.
In the emotional clip, the visibly distressed man complained that ₦100,000 worth of fuel no longer fills his car tank, as he passionately appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reinstate fuel subsidy.
Calling the president by his popular nickname “Jagaban,” the man expressed deep frustration, saying the situation is taking a serious toll on his life.
“100K for fuel. E no go fill my tank. Dear Jagaban, please. Please, bring back subsidy. Tinubu, my life is on verge of scattering because of this fuel,” he lamented.
He went on to reveal the heavy financial strain he now faces weekly, stating that he spends as much as ₦300,000 just on fuel.
“Now I’m buying fuel of 100,000. E no dey full my tank. Jagaban, bring back subsidy. We are dying,” he added.
In a striking comparison, the man said the constant financial burden makes him feel worse off than a drug addict.
“I don’t know the difference between me and a drug addict. As at Nigeria today, drug addict is better than me because I’m buying fuel,” he said.
The video has since sparked intense debate online, with many Nigerians sharing similar frustrations over the rising cost of living and fuel prices.
