Abagworo: I can't even imagine suya made with LPG.

Ramtzy: Useless people....!!!!! Ordinary gas to sufficiently power turbine is still a dream, they are here telling us LPG to phase out kerosene.

thelastPope:

Nigeria produces LPG in abundance. The reason it has been difficult to get gas to run the power stations is because OBJ situated the power stations hundreds of kilometers away from the gas plants! Your ignorance is shameful!

thelastPope:

Why are you lot this ignarant sef? I just can't understand! In Egypt, corn is roasted on the street with LPG! Same for Tunisia and Algeria!

The amount of ignorance on display on NL is alarming! Is this how the next generation reasons? Terrible!

sean079: this is good move that should have taken place decade ago, because this only require infrastructure to be put in place and then gradually we can moved to the use of electricity as tym goes on inwhich those gas can now b utilised in steam turbine to generate electricity that will be useful commercially and domestically.

Walexz02: See mumu talk.... Try and make the LPG cheaper and affordable to the poor by building and repairing refineries and wait and see, wether pple wil start using it or not..

Demdem:

Lost pope, ur stupidity and lies i repeat are legendary. Read and learn.


I am constrained to say that the facts that pertain to the four plants established during the period and which can be verified by all, clearly show that nothing can be farther from the truth than Ngige’s assertion above. The siting of the plants namely, Papalanto (Olorunsogo), Omotosho, Geregu and Afam V were based on sound technical consideration and the prices at which the plants were procured were highly competitive by global standards and are the cheapest Nigeria has ever procured viz:

1) The Papalanto and Omotosho plants were located less than five kilometres to the existing Escravos – Lagos Gas Pipeline making the cost of connecting them to gas less than $5million each.

2) The Geregu plant was located less than eight kilometres from the existing Pipeline that takes gas to the Ajaokuta Steel plant.

3) The AfamV Plant was located within the existing Afam Power Plant and therefore did not need any special pipe laying.

4) The distance of all the four power plants from existing major transmission lines is less than two kilometres making the cost of connection to the National Grid infinitesimal.

5) The turnkey costs of all the four power plants were less than $500 per megawatt which was verified by the Due Process Office to be globally very competitive. The benchmark price used for the NIPP projects which came up later was more than $1000 per megawatt.

6) All the four plants were completed within 24 months from contractors’ mobilisation, making them the fastest of deliveries in the history of Nigeria. AfamV was commissioned within 12 months!

thelastPope:

You have started talking nonsense again? What lecture or research do you need to know that the power stations should have been built in delta or bayelsa state. Even a toddler would know that! Posting a stup1d link from a stup1d source? You have no common sense! This is the same thinking behind the laying of pipelines from warri to kaduna! Pathetic!

thelastPope:

The reason it has been difficult to get gas to run the power stations is because OBJ situated the power stations hundreds of kilometers away from the gas plants!

And i have been able to prove to u that its not so instead less than 10kilometers to gas source. Now u are talking of situating all these plants in delta, bayelsa cant u just see that u are simply useless.

Dumb, if the source i provided is stupid like u suggested, why dont u give us another that will authenticate ur hundreds of kilometers

Shameless He-Goat.

taharqa: And you dey call oda persons Mu.mu...what is d relationship bw Refineries and LPG (liquified gas) supply?.... KIDS

sean079:

kerosine ke in this new era abeg forget kerosine its just a tool of corruption in the hand of those bad eggs

coded guy:

The quality of your ignorance is top notch. Firstly the meaning of LPG is LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS and not LIQUEFIED GAS as you defined. So if the P in LPG means petroleum, ask yourself again "what's the relationship btw LPG and refineries" and who then is the ignorant kid?

coded guy: Why do we like deceiving ourselves in this country sef. Why not make the damn refineries work well and build new ones, and when they are working optimally the products would be made available to nigerians at a cheaper rate which will eventually make it more reasonable to acquire by the poor. This includes harnessing the gas that we flare every day. If it becomes cheap and available why would anyone want o use kerosene or go to the bush to suffer to cut wood to cook. If the right things are done some of our problems will die naturally or atleast be reduced drastically. They need to attack the proBlem from the top and holistically.

taharqa: Na wa o. Are u actuali accusing me of ignorance here? Who didnt know dat LPG means Liquified Petroleum Gas? When i said 'liquified gas', i wasnt trying to give d full meaning of d acronym dats why it was in small case, i only wantd to point out dat we were talking about GAS there (liquified one in dis instance) and wondering what d connectn is bw GAS and refineries?.... Tell us d connectn abeg? By d way, are u knew on NL? And i was also wondering if u tink dis place is FG or togo?...*smh*

Image123:
anything is a tool for corruption, money, crude oil, power etc
The point is that kerosene is safer for the common than lpg. We don't have good hospitals, fire services, 911, fire alarms etc. lpg is more insane than okadas ón the highway.

coded guy:

How old are you? Have you finished secondary sch? Let me agree you shortened liquified petroleum gas to liquified gas. I purposely emphasized on the PETROLEUM which u left out of your definition of LPG to make you realise that the word petroleum in the meaning of LPG makes the connection between refineries and LPG possible. Yet you did not get it.

Your silly question was "what's the connection with refineries and LPG" refineries process crude oil and in the process other products are gotten eg diesel, kerosene, LPG etc that's the connection between refineries and LPG. Haven't you heard of gas flaring before?

You have access to the internet yet u don't know how to use it, why don't you google you silly question and read up.

taharqa:

*smh*... You think LPG is only gotten from Refining Crude oil right? How many cops use Refinery process to get their LPG nowadays? What volume would intend to get if they solely relied on it as just a distillation component of the Refinery process? Do you think the LPG gotten in Nigeria is gotten from the Refinery?

Many questions, ehmm? Now, have you ever heard of Gathering, Processing and Compressing natural gas (either associated or not)? Do you know that tis fro many technical and economic/scale reasons is by far the preferred choice nowadays for obtaining LPG, esp in the Nigerian environment?

Amazing that you mention 'gas flaring' (i suppose you meant gathering the gas that would have been flared) and linked it to Refining? That shows how much u know about this!!
