Nero fiddles, Rome burns...

Queues return as fuel scarcity (real or imagined) returns


Nero fiddled away, while Rome was burning. The Jews took the fall.
Those Nigerians who can't find fuel to buy are the Jews in today's Nigeria. Rumours of fuel price slash prosper; importers won't import, marketers won't lift. Fuel stations hoard as black marketers literally and figuratively set the country on fire. Nero fiddles away. Everyone walks on ice-tin ground.
Somehow, power has dropped and insecurity is taking a new dimension. Some people even blame it all on former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

Many more shades of ‘CHANGE’ loom and every Nigerian you talk to seems to know what is happening, but concludes with a helpless look. Throw in the prospect of having ministers without portfolio! Rome burns.
