How Nigerian Media Is Gaslighting You With Egypt's Fuel Hike

Since today, several Nigerian outlets have screamed that Egypt raised fuel prices by 30%. They want you to believe Nigeria isn’t alone and should stop complaining. But the 30% refers only to CNG, not petrol. Egypt’s petrol hike was just 14–16%, bringing the price to EGP 22.25 (~N623 per litre). Meanwhile, you now pay N1,300 per litre, up from N800. This is clever propaganda. It uses half-truths and confusing headlines to normalize your pain. Next time, pause, check the numbers, and ask who benefits from you not being angry.
