A Nigerian tricycle rider has caused quite a stir on social media after using Power Oil as an alternative fuel to power his tricycle engine, opting for the cooking oil over the significantly higher cost of petrol in the country. The incident gained attention after a TikTok video went viral, showing the rider filling his tricycle’s fuel tank with Power Oil, and then discarding the empty sachets on the ground. Despite the unconventional fueling method, the tricycle was seen running smoothly in the video, sparking a mixed reaction from online viewers.
The viral video quickly spread across social media platforms, and concerned viewers flooded the comment section to express their thoughts on the matter, some jokingly and others more seriously questioning the safety and sustainability of the method.
