How Oil Fraud Fleeces Nigeria
With queues returning to filling stations everywhere, it is altogether fitting that someone took out time to investigate how these import crooks defraud Nigerians through illegal subsidy claims. Of course there is always a way around a system designed to protect the people especially when the guards are not committed to securing the people.
The practices are not only devious but evil. They prove that a bulk of the importers are in the trade of exploitation and not importation. They and our very indolent, yet very well paid Federal Government make sure that Nigerians are always at the receiving end of such bad service in a court where the ball, raquet and game is theirs.
In every trade, there are honest traders, it is improper to declare that all fuel importers are of the same breed. There are actually legitimate fuel importers that do not claim subsidy payments for unimported fuel. They are the ones responsible for our having fuel at all. Credit or rather kudos must be given to them for staying true in an era of mega wealth.
The progress that is being made by the government in tackling corruption is simply put laughable. The above article confirms that these claims ascended between the incumbent president's ascension and the latest fuel scarcity. It suggests that the importers knew when a lazy guard took over and took opportunity to bring in the goods sorry the claims.
The ultimate loser, the Nigerian people.
