In the video, the woman who spoke, addressed the unfairness of soldiers skipping queues to purchase fuel and resell to the people who have been standing on the queue.
A 30-year-old video depicting Nigerians queuing up and expressing frustration over fuel scarcity has surfaced online.
The now-viral video which was shared by a user of X on Tuesday, April 30, #JWEZEE had a caption which reads: "On this day April 30 1994, same day same time, only difference 30years ago.
"Nigerians in long fuel queues lamenting, 30years later they are still lamenting. And In another 30years will still lament, why? Because patterns don’t lie.”
In the video, the woman who spoke, addressed the unfairness of soldiers skipping queues to purchase fuel and resell to the people who have been standing on the queue.
She said in part: "You have the soldiers that come, they buy petrol, they put it in jerry cans they sell it right in front of these people, it's ridiculous.
"They get the fuel themselves, why do they have to come here, they don't join the queue, they just buy and they sell right in front of people, it's ridiculous. Something has to happen."
The video unfortunately coincides with the current fuel price hike and scarcity affecting almost every state in the country.
