Nigeria has always been like it is today

In 1974, Nigeria faced severe fuel scarcity, causing long queues at stations like the one in Yaba, Lagos. Despite being a top oil producer, Nigeria's leadership has historically lacked foresight, failing to preempt or resolve such crises. This ongoing issue reflects the leadership's disregard for the nation's future, undermining their credibility. – Henry U. Orji

In 1974, scarcity of fuel brought about a long queue in so many filling stations across Nigeria.

This is one of the fuel stations in Yaba Lagos, where Nigerians were practically begging for fuel; a product that is said to have placed Nigeria as one of the highest producers in the world.

The 1974 fuel scarcity is evidence to show that Nigeria has been so unlucky with leadership.
Nigeria has never had an articulated-minded president.

The leaders Nigeria ever had from time immemorial to date have no plan for the future of this great country.

Just like Nigeria claims to be the giant of Africa, a claim I believe in force.
If this fuel scarcity started long before now and is yet to be experienced now and then, and in recent times, then Nigerians should not take their leaders, past or present, seriously.
It is a shame.
