There's nothing wrong in having an iyaloja in Edo state. It'll only make them unite to achieve a common goal.

Did they ever tell you they needed one? And haven't they been achieving their goals all these years? Why can't you people mind your own business, and stop interfering in places where you have NO business, and nobody needs you?

Traders in Edo markets, know how to organise and coordinate themselves.

Tell Folashade Tinubu-Ojo to leave them alone, and to stop being greedy.

She is Iyaloja of Lagos NOT Iyaloja of Edo or Iyaloja of Nigeria.

What kind of nönsēnse is all this, séf?

CNG is different from LPG. it's currently being sold from between ₦230-300

Try to be smart. There are over 3,000 fuel stations in Nigeria. How many CNG refueling stations exist nationwide? Less than 25 places.

Secondly, you need two litres of CNG to cover the same distance that 1 litre of petrol will cover.

If the price is 230 per litre for CNG, then you will use 460 naira to cover the same kilometre that a 700 naira litre of petrol will cover.

Let me tell you the bad part, because CNG stations are far away, you will burn more CNG to cover that distance to refuel, your car.

The savings are too neglible and few to make sense.

Finally, the worst part is that CNG prices will soon increase. And soon, whatever savings you thought you had, may get wiped out.

Last but not the least, you will still look for 1.2 million to 1.6 million to convert your vehicle BEFORE you can use CNG.

Salewa97:
This is a commendable move by the FG. Investing N900bn in CNG vehicle conversion is a step in the right direction for our environment and economy.

Imagine the reduction in emissions and the boost to local industries! This initiative could create jobs and enhance our energy security.

It's high time we embraced cleaner energy solutions, and this shows that the government is serious about making sustainable changes. Let's hope they follow through effectively and involve local manufacturers in the process.

Kudos to the FG for thinking ahead!

Some of you are so unintelligent that it defies belief!

Since 2016 less than 20,000 vehicles have been converted nationwide to run on CNG Gas.

Most states do not have infrastructure for delivery and fueling of gas. So what do they want to use to refuel such vehicles?

To convert a vehicle to CNG is over 1.2 million naira per car. Who has that kind of money to waste these days?

They want to convert 750,000 vehicles within 3 years. How?? With what??

Your country does not manufacture one inch of the CNG conversion kits, so what are they going to do? They will import. With which FX?

Buhari promised to deliver 1 million Autogas conversion kits to Nigerians in 2020. Till today, what happened? Nothing.

The whole of Western Europe does not even manufacture up to 1 million kits in one year. It is not possible.

You people should stop insulting our senses with this shameless propaganda, please.

CNG to flood Lagos April .

Gazzuzz, how far? This is July. Has CNG flooded Lagos, now?? 🙄

GAZZUZZ:

4 stations in apapa , Mushin, Epe, agidingbi. Have u seen them? Awaiting commissioning

And this is what you call a flood? With 27 LGAs and 31 LCDAs in Lagos, you have just 4 stations, and you call it a flood. Issokay. 😆

7lives:

Fueling stations greed.
Imagine #400 naira profit on a litre.
And na Dem dey evade tax well well.
How I wished Shango can just visit all these mad people, so that we can have some sanity in this country.

It is not fueling stations greed. Price from Dangote may be a bit lower, but when you load at the depot you will still pay NUPENG charges, truck hire fees, PPPRA charges etc.

All this adds up, at the send of the day.

Cost of hiring a truck is now high. Not all fuel stations own their own trucks.

Even the ones who do, must fuel and maintain it. All this adds to logistics costs at the end of the day.

And the same costs are added to the sales price of the fuel at the stations.

It is even becoming increasingly expensive, to run a station properly.

You need to factor in cost of diesel for the generators at the station. You cannot change prices at the pump, when you change over your power supply to gen, after DISCOs take light.

Another thing is that state govt taxes have increased. Go and find out out much LASAA, LASPA etc are charging for signboard and car parks in Lagos.

Local government taxes nkó? Those ones are constant.

Abeg, forget this APC government. As they are giving 1 drop of ease to you with one hand, they are using 2 or more hands to take away the same benefits, through the back door.

GAZZUZZ:

Great topic of discussion.

Diesel (compression ignition) conversion to CNG (spark ignition)

Full CNG conversion would involve replacing

Head cylinder
Pistons
Timing and ignition components
Introduce a distributor.

Aim to run engine on CNG . Only other fueling that can be introduced is petrol.

Is the other option petrol?

No, there is no other option. Only CNG was adopted as a mono-fuel.

Oga, you need to read my previous post with an open mind.

Every detail was covered and the whole conversion was clarified.

GAZZUZZ:


diesel engine , retrofit CNG .

Blending a mixture of intake air and natural gas , aim to bring down the amount of diesel burnt.

Same compression ignition engine used. Ecu and CNG injectors introduced to monitor performance.

When you run out of CNG , system switches back to diesel .

When you run out of diesel system shuts down

Is this what you are talking about?

No, this is not what I am talking about. After the retrofit, there is no diesel usage in the vehicle. Only Autogas CNG is used all through, because it is a mono conversion.

Diesel tank is even taken out. So nowhere to store diesel in the vehicle.

Dual-fuel conversion will mean that the vehicle uses both diesel and CNG, and can switch between both sources of fuel.

Kewtt:

I only quoted the minimum

Minimum of what?? Different vehicles use different types of conversion kits.

Kits from places like India and China are cheaper than those from Germany and Poland, for small vehicles. Oga, abeg rest.

GAZZUZZ:

No one does a mono retrofit for CNG in vehicles.

You would know that if you researched.

I have seen people who do a mono retrofit for their petrol and diesel engines, in order to convert to gas. Stop talking about what you do not know.

I have friends who work for an Autogas company in Lagos. I was even part of one of their workshops in Lagos in 2021, and we saw vehicles they converted to run on mono Autogas CNG.

The owner of the vehicles was an expatriate who was tired of their drivers stealing diesel from their large trucks, and siphoning petrol from their official cars.

Their factory was already running on natural gas as they were located close to a pipeline in Ogun state.

Kewtt:

Jarigbe said Nipco Gas Ltd obtained N25 billion (N25,000,000,000.00), Nipco Plc got N5 billion (N5,000,000,000.00),
Total of 30Billion yams

Is this fact or hearsay?? Any link to any government publication, where this can be verified?

Kewtt:

It is NOT half a million naira. It is approximately one million naira at least.

Cost depends on the type of vehicle being converted. Different types of conversion kits are used for different models of vehicles. OEM conversion kits cost, is also different from one another.

So the cost of conversion kits & labour, varies.

GAZZUZZ:
CNG to flood Lagos April .

CNG will not flood Lagos. Stop misleading people! Haba.

So only 4 stations that have been opened in far places will make CNG flood Lagos?? Really? Or you think the readers of your page, are not educated enough to read between the lines?

Must you exaggerate and use propaganda to get your point across?

Kewtt:
Nonsense .... Anytime gazzuzz talks about CNG....ask him for the explicit conversion costs.

He will only give you the price in USD, and not in naira, so that people will not easily be able to get clarity on the costs.

There is NO component of the CNG conversion kit, that is manufactured locally.

How much do people earn? That they will spend over half a million or more to convert their vehicles?

Gazzuz is just promoting his new found business.

He is not interested in whether it is a sustainable solution or not.

I advise people always to do a dual-fuel conversion that can use both CNG and petrol, and NOT a mono-fuel conversion that uses only CNG.

Otherwise, if CNG runs out in your car and you are far from an Autogas CNG station, you will be stranded on the road.

Just rent a towing van when this happens to you....

Kewtt:

Not true relative to how much billions of naira they collected from the government.

Tell us please, how much did they collect from government?

jmoore:
It is 1 million times better to use electric cars than CNG powered ones.

One can use generator to charge electric cars. But there are no retail CNG refill stations.
There is no infrastruture for CNG in Nigeria.

That is what we have been saying since oh! There are 774 local governments in Nigeria. Less than 8 have Autogas CNG stations where motorists can refuel their cars using CNG.

Yet some folks are beating their chest about doing conversions and also making noise about how Tinubu set up pCNGi committee!

Let me laugh very well in my language.

If not for the fact that LPG costs has gone up, it is still much better to convert to Autogas LPG, since so many LPG gas skids and LPG Gas plants are all over the place, in every single state and in majority of local government areas nationwide.

GAZZUZZ:

Compression ignition and spark ignition are 2 totally different systems.

While you can lower the amount of diesel burnt by feeding a blend mix of CNG or lpg , it is still a technology I currently do not subscribe to.

A full conversion which involves , cylinder head swap, pistons, and the introduction of a spark ignition system is a more expensive but stable approach.

"It is a more expensive, but stable approach?" Stable, in what sense? For how many people? So other options are not stable?

Right now, you do not even have adequate infrastructure in-country, to retail Autogas CNG into cars and generators. How many places are close to a gas pipeline? Very few.

So people will need to depend on a virtual pipeline with mobile cascades etc, as well as just very few gas stations, in case they need to refuel.

So of what use is the total conversion if a car cannot refuel with Autogas CNG in his own neighborhood? In the entire southwest region of 5 states, only 2 Autogas CNG stations exist. Ibafo and Ikorodu. Period.

Dual-fuel systems make far more sense, because if the car runs out of gas, it can keep moving with the other fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, until it finally gets to where it can refuel, or until new stock of CNG is obtained.

So Öga, no need for this long story. We all know how it goes. pCNGi was set up to chop money, and do very little.

There are other committees and associations, that have been driving the adoption of gas for years, using private efforts with very little government support, that have achieved much more than anything this pCNGi can ever hope to achieve.

When NIPCO started converting taxis in Benin to run on CNG before 2014, where was government? Which committee was set up to drive them?

Other bodies like NLGPA, and NGA as well as NGEP have done so much work in the gas sector. But since this government wants to create food for the boys, it had to set up pCNGi.

Una well done. Everyone is watching in 3D. Man must wack, not so?

GAZZUZZ:


The government through the PCNGI already started by converting a number vehicles in the public sector for free. It is a continuous quiet process that is not heavily publicized reason we all don't get to hear about it. Currently The army is receiving free training and free kits for a number of military vehicles via the PCNGI, gradually it will trickle down in phases as the kits arrive .


For number 2 there are 2 options. One is attaching the cylinders and reducers to a vehicle .

The other is a standalone device which I have invented but not released pending a patent .

The standalone device should become very popular very soon. You can dm on Whatsapp for more info on that .

"Conversion of cars for the public for free," is nothing more than empty propaganda. Please do not peddle this false tale.

Most of the vehicles converted so far, are just for govt ministries.

Even under Buhari, cars were converted to run on Autogas LPG for PPPRA, and NNPC subsidiaries.

Then they claimed that over a million Autogas kits were imported, which was a big fat lie!

Autogas conversion kits are expensive. They run into hundreds of thousands of naira, per vehicle. Not cheap. A few Innoson buses were also converted for Labour, which was less than 10 units.

So for government to offer free conversion to the public, it would cost multimillions of naira, which they cannot do for now.

Finally, you did not answer his question about converting diesel generator to gas. How would this be done?

To the best of my knowledge, only EGORAS in Anambra has been able to do this successfully, with minimal issues.

FreeStuffsNG:
Adegboye said she sees the deportation order from federal immigration officials as a death sentence for her family, which now includes two more children who were born in Canada.

She issued a plea for Canada to reverse the deportation so she can continue to build a life for her children and care for her patients.

Obviously, she's lying! The family is lying by raising religious persecution. They are Yoruba and in Yorubaland there's no religious persecution. The 3 religion of Christianity, Islam and Yoruba traditional Isese religion exist side by side even in every family and community. She should have been honest enough to state the main reason instead of denigrating her place.

This is what you get when you build your lives on lies. Truth will eventually catch up with you.

If you check her background now, she's probably one of those educated with tax payers money and on graduation deserted the nation for a foreign country that made zero investment in their public education before leaving Nigeria.

We have patients in Nigeria too and we need more health workers too. Please come back home with dignity, your children are watching and learning from you if you build their lives on lies. They will grow up not seeing anything wrong with lying and denigrating their origin.

God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

You need health workers, but you refuse to pay the ones that work in public hospitals in Naija. That is why they are always going on strike, in the medical sector.

Some of you just make empty noise.

GloriousGbola:

The Government is seriously planning on CNG. As I write this I am working on part of the design of the second of over 50 projects converting /upgrading petrol stations to autogas ie supplying lpg and cng for vehicles. Unfortunately these things take time. Design to tender to construction to handover. There is a lot of pressure and it is made worse by bizarre cheaping out by the project sponsor. A single project will probably take 9 months from contract award, if we are lucky.

The other major marketers also have their own plans. A friend had me do a quick mockup of a multi energy retail station.

A company named Greenville rolled out preliminary cng stations as far back as 2013 and seem to now be bringing them online.

We will have to hang in there

I only hope once cng comes on stream we will not see the same weird spike in price that we saw with lpg. Lpg has risen from 6k for 12.5 kg in May to 11k now. And it is not imported but sourced from nlng. At some point the govt may step in.

As for electric cars, electricity is only commercially viable for bikes and keke napep imho

A regular ev will take 8 hours to charge on a normal outlet. On a fast charging outlet 1 hour will require 30kva. 30 minutes in the range of 50kva. Izzou can do the maths. We don't have steady power yet so you are spending on diesel

A 50kva gen brand new and unfked with burns 11 litres per hour. Cost of diesel at 1200 is 13200 to charge the car in 30 minutes. That is the base cost as other costs will be factored in. So a 30 minute charge for a consumer vehicle may come to 20 or 25k or more. Now multiply that for buses. For buses it gets much harder as you have to have a central charging hub and the buses must have enough charge for a working day. And a bus may require 200kva for an hour charge.

Solar power cannot replace conventional fossil fuels. You want solar in your home, you understand immediately that it is a spartan existence. Acs, iron, kettle will immediately hammer your battery life. You keep it simple and stick to lights and electronics and new fridge / freezer. Unless you have DEEP pockets and can invest in expensive solutions. But this can't work commercially. In the places where it is used, there are govt subsidies in place.

Fast charging may be cheaper for smaller vehicles. Keke napep bikes, korope. However the the technology for these is out of China. Oyibos get apple designed in California quality from China. Nigerians on the other hand get designed in cottage industry with collaboration from dodgy hustlers quality. What I like to call showroom warranty. Works fine in the showroom but after that you are oyo.

You said you are working on "part of the design of the second of over 50 projects converting /upgrading petrol stations to autogas ie supplying lpg and cng for vehicles..."

What kind of design again?

Is it not to put LPG skids in the forecourt of petrol stations, and work out a revenue sharing agreement with such stations?

Are you building fresh petrol stations from scratch? Why do people like reinventing the wheel?

As for CNG fueling, you need to installed mini CNG cascades and skids in fuel stations. But because of size constraints since these things are large, it would be better to install them in big mega stations that have a lot of space.

It is not rocket science.

So what design work is needed again? Or is it the design to be submitted to DPR for the licenses?

Abeg, this government is paying lip service to the deployment of Autogas nationwide.

When NIPCO deployed Autogas in Benin over 15 years ago, how much design work did they do?

Till today, some if their stations trading under the name NIPCO/Greenfuels, is still dispensing Autogas CNG into taxis and buses, in Benin.
