From ₦97 to ₦1,350: Why Are Nigerians Less Outraged Over Fuel Prices?

I remember when petrol cost ₦97 under President Jonathan. People were outraged. Protests filled the streets and social media buzzed with anger. Now under President Tinubu, petrol stands at ₦1,350. Yet the reaction feels softer. Some still voice complaints. Others defend the increase. Is it really about the price or the person in power? Politics. Loyalty. Fatigue. Or simply shifting expectations. The contrast is striking and hard to ignore.

What factors do you think explain the muted reactions to the new ₦1,350 petrol price compared to the large protests at ₦97?

We don dey used to constant price hikes and limited options now, so reaction smaller.

I don't think people are merely indifferent; it's likely a mix of protest fatigue and budget strain.

It feels like many Nigerians have simply grown weary of protests and resigned themselves to high fuel costs without any real sense of optimism.

I'm not convinced that people defending the price have thought through the impact on daily budgets—they might just be tired of complaining online.

We could start small by organizing community meetings to map out affordable transport alternatives and build collective pressure for policy change.
