brain54:

The key word here is "upgraded..."

Take note of the word.

The major reason why those illegal refinery sites are that way is because they are stealing crudeoil and can leave at a moments notice and they have not been certified to meet environmental laws and standards.

They are just there to steal crude and don't care about the environment because of course they operate illegally.

The point is you can clean up those sites were they operate, upgrade them to modular refineries and make them legal. That way you solve the damage they cause to the environment.

Now this upgrade would involve legalization, cleaning up the site they operated, infrastructure upgrade, technology upgrade, training of staff, regulatory compliance etc.

Don't be dramatic with your virgin and prostitute analogy.

It doesn't apply in this circumstance!

I don't know how that poster equates this with virgin issue.
You have a valid point

So why is NNPC importing fuel when we have local refineries?Give them licences to operate legally.

I tire O!

Even the army, when will they uncover where killer fulanis are hidding in Nigerian bushes nationwide?

Isn't Nigerian leaders cursed?

Build refineries, No

Repair exiting ones so it start working, No

give licenses to individuals to build, No

Even the ones that built, they want to sell at international market rate to Nigerians, aka Dangote

Allow Niger Delta boys refine these crudes and sell to the Nigerian market at local rates, No

Is Tinubu and his co brainless former Presidents not cursed?

Capital punishment should be meted to oil thieves and their collaborators but does the powers that be have the political will to do so?

There are a lot of more pressing issues than these petty crimes.

Nigerian military enter bush to secure our people so that Nigeria can be a haven for domestic and international investors and this will lessesn the crimes.

Get your priorities right for heaven's sake

The issue with capital punishment is that it has moral justification.
Every Nigerian has to be patriotic to Nigeria, so that once a person
commits a crime against the nation, we can all agree that he indeed offended us/the nation
And hence proceed with the capital punishment.
But even government officials ARE NOT patriotic to Nigeria.
They all lack the leadership skills required to make convince Nigerians about nationhood.
Instead, each person is fighting for his village, and villages are fighting each other in turn.
Tinubu clearly said, "It is my turn", which means, TRIBE-by-TRIBE mentality.
You can't justify capital punishment to anybody when the leaders have that kind of mind set

The military must have measurements systems to meet extant challenges.
We need to know monthly, how many kidnappers have been eliminated
The patterns of the kidnappers
The location
The MO
We are currently witnessing a security emergency and the military is the weakest link.

Secure Nigeria so we can produce

Re: Military Uncovers Over 50 Illegal Refining Sites In Bayelsa Forest by Ebeano49(m): 1:09pm On May 13

North extract their gold and sell, it is not illegal. Army and Navy pretend not to see it.
South refine and sell their oil, then it is declared illegal. Army and Navy are unleashed on innocent people for taking their God-given resources.

One Nigeria... two laws.

They don't have the finances for such work.
The small money they have is to buy one or 2 guns and buy food to eat.
It is expensive to run a military with technology, weapons, salaries...
Unnecessary stress when we don't even have any external enemies to fight.
Just fighting ourselves because we are not patriotic to our own nation.

The only problem we have in Nigeria is that we have irresponsible Leaders which was as a result of Criminally minded population.. If only in forests of Bayelsa we have 50 refineries (only discovered ones) this means we have the capability of refining the crude we need in this country even without Mega refineries. But irresponsible Leaders with Criminally minded population is just a deadly set back

SpecialAdviser:
I suggest they arrest those guys, jail them and sell those refineries to others and officially register them as legal. Especially if what they refine has all the qualities of good fuel.

We cannot afford to take them off the market at this critical time. But I know this government will not listen. They will destroy them or even burn them down.

Meanwhile, what useless Buhari and Tinubu cannot achieve, individuals are doing it.

Instead of arresting the owners is better they pay fine and continue they business and be paying tax to government if only they produce standard products.

If you said they should sale the site and equipment to another person trust Nigerians they will sell it to their families or friends at a cheaper rate without knowledge of what they are doing there.

Re: Military Uncovers Over 50 Illegal Refining Sites In Bayelsa Forest by Cmanforall: 1:25pm On May 13

Hope they didn't set them ablaze

When Nigerian refineries can't refine oil, locals are doing so with crude means. Maybe the government should empowering them with the real refineries so they can revive them cheesy

Re: Military Uncovers Over 50 Illegal Refining Sites In Bayelsa Forest by Lavor234: 1:26pm On May 13

Refine the methods of production
Create modular refineries
It creates employment and curbs capital flight.

They did something illegal and should lose it. Whoever sold to won't be the problem but the productivity

Over 50 sites? Why not legalize them, give them licenses and get them crude to refine, make a living and then satisfy the local market?

SpecialAdviser:

Well I just shared my opinion. You can share yours. Meanwhile, don't you think the government can ask those taking over to do additional work on the refinery and certified good to go before operations? Is that not a good way to go?

I may be wrong, but I think that's what they call modular refinery... Your opinion is very correct, why don't government just ask them to upgrade, that way, we'll have many of them refining this oil for us, with constant checks and balances from whatever government agency to make sure they adhere strictly to the rules

If that jagajaga refinery is worth investing, Dangote won't spend billions of dollars building a new refinery.

Those jagajaga refinery are scrap. They only thrive because they are stealing crudeoil to refine rubbish.

Thank you. Those things are not refineries. What these guys do is to cook crude oil in steel drums.
