generally made life difficult. Businesses are shuttering up,
non-essential services are closing, Lagos’ infamous traffic snarls have

have taken to Facebook and Twitter to express their frustration at a
broken economic system that continues to squeeze hard on consumers and
make an already torturous living even more hellish. And they have done
so with humour.
Today’s trending hashtag – #ReplaceAMovieWithFuel. Here are some of the top takes.
Enjoy your time at the fuel queue – if you had the tank to make it that far.
