Kerosene is ₦2000 a litre and a human being with a functional brain who buys petrol at ₦1050 would tell you there is no more Subsidy on petrol

Note ; diesel is the most expensive petroleum product followed by petrol then kerosene... It's impossible to gave petrol cheaper than kerosene by almost 50% without subsidy for the ignorant ones who can't read

Nigerians are so of the most ignorant people on earth

Fuel stations doesn't sell kerosene though.
Most kerosene are products of illegal bunkery

💯💯
