What Nsikak discovered about her gas cylinder

When the gateman returned with her gas cylinder, Nsikak, who had given him her ATM card to run the errand, enquired why she was charged less than usual.

"...He said first it's no more N1200 but N1250. I said no problem. But why the lesser amount. He said he told the attendant 9kg - it should be filled. The attendant keyed in 9kg but when it got to 7kg it was full. It was full and no hissing sound. He told the attendant it's showing 7kg. She told him that's because it's full. He asked how come. She said but it's 7kg size nau. Ah!

"He said the previous place him and my cousin has been buying from. Even after telling them 9kg, the cylinder makes the hissing sound (to show that it's not full) but he always thought it's normal. And that the attendants over there would even tell him my cylinder is 11kg that it expanded bla bla," Nsikak wrote.

What Nsikak deduced about previous gas station

Nsikak concluded that the previous gas station was shortchanging her. She wrote:

"So this means, at the previous gas station, they probably were selling 6kg or even less worth of gas at the price of 9kg for the past 3yrs (since I moved here). Cos how is it their so called 9kg never filled my gas of 7kg. Hey God!

"Ah! My mom was around. So the scene was very dramatic 🤣. It's not funny o but I can laugh about it now.

"I thought it was only fuel pump that is altered. I had no idea gas pump can also be altered.

"It is well sha!"

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Nigerian government had halted the export of locally produced Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas.

Ekperikpo Ekpo, the minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), disclosed the directive. The order seeks to prioritise domestic supply over exports to alleviate the burden of rising costs on Nigerian consumers.

His spokesman, Louis Ibah, shared the minister's statement after a high-level meeting in Abuja between the government and stakeholders in the cooking gas value chain.
