A Nigerian resident in the United States of America has claimed that 35 litres of fuel over there cost the average sum of N100k.
His claim however did not go down well with some Nigerians back home who started to question him.
The tweet has generated many replies with many giving reasons why Nigeria must not be compared with USA.
A Nigerian living abroad upset the apple cart after he tweeted that 35 litres of fuel in America is around N100k.
The man made his tweet in response to frustration voiced out by Professor Joy Ngozi Ezeilo who lamented that she bought 50 litres of fuel for N40k in Enugu.
High cost of fuel
Voicing her frustration, Professor Ezeilo wrote:
“Which way is Nigeria headed? I bought 50 litres of diesel for my car at the cost of N40, 000 in Enugu. I’m wondering how we will all survive this hardship.
As a Law Professor that has reached the last step and stage in promotion at a Federal University, I’m paid about 400k per month.”
But replying to Professor Ezeilo’s tweet, the Twitter user insinuated that fuel could be cheaper in Nigeria.
