Can you guess the biggest export of britain to Nigeria? ? ? Petroleum Products,
am very sure many people couldn't have guessed that right.

We export crude oil to these countries and yet they export the refined ones back to us
Is this not modern slavery, Robbing Peter and paying Paul. (Bribing a few to get their way and placing this country in perpetual poverty).


And i am seriously hoping that we don't export crude oil to them and they export back the refined to us and still make a profit off it.

This is so pathetic, The earlier we all put up a thinking cap and find solutions to this corruption in high places especially these politicians, the better off our kids will be.

The problem with Nigerians is that we are so docile, and don't know the implication of what these crazy politicians are doing to our country.

They gather all the money they can, and lodge it with foreign banks, these same banks use this money to develop their economy and rub it in our face in the name of aids and loans.

God save us.

GEJ is trying to reverse this age old trend and that's why he has been calling for the removal of subsidy in order to enable the increase of local refining capacity. By the time we can refine more than what we need, we can then start exporting refined products. The argument has however been which should come first. Subsidy removal or increase in local refining capacity.

Let's not also forget that it is not only in the product import the west has been making money from 9ja. Even in our oil exploration and production, the IOCs have been in charge. You cannot imagine the billions that they have made off us over the years. Added to that is the employment opportunities to their citizens, repatriation of operatorship income to their base countries etc. That is one area the PIB was supposed to address.

There is so much to say. These issues are very serious and we have a long way to go. I have interacted with professionals in this sector from all over the world and they keep expressing their astonishment at the Nigerian situation. It is truly unbelievable for a country to be so endowed and yet so foolish!
