So Ubah is just realizing that we have bad economic manager? When we sold oil for $120pb+ on a budget benchmark of less than $80pb and still borrowed, build no new refinery, fix old refinery or built modular refineries, he didn't realize there was bad management then.
We even exhausted over $120B in forex between 2008 - 2015 and Ubah didn't see bad management.
Suddenly his wisdom and 'love' for One-Nigeria has come alive when oil is going for far less.
He even thinks the idea of a modular refinery is new and is trying to say Nigerians don't know about it.
This man is delusional at best and parading as a grade A clown.

Forget about the person of Ubah. This present economic team is doing poorly though Buhari is doing his best to fight "corruption" (let's assume he's actually fighting corruption). You still need a solid economic plan which is lacking.
Remember, Buhari was voted to change Nigeria. He was not voted to give of excuses or to blame GEJ. As it is now, things have gone worse in his administration that's why Ify Ubah us trying to help out.

You are not open enough. If with excess fund we couldn't find the capital to implement IGR boosting initiatives, tell me, is it when we are running on deficit you want Buhari alone to now start forming 7-point agenda? It takes money to make money, as long as some people are not interested in recovery of looted money, then let Buhari go on at the pace of $50pb oil price.

is it a statistical fact that petroleum product importation gulps 75% of our forex? is there a citation for that? aside from this the idea of refining our own crude has been suggested over and over again by various persons and I think moving forward it is something that the govt has to strive to achieve.

How exactly can this be done in less than a year?... The nation has only dead and decomposed refineries which are approaching 40 years old, do you really think refineries can be built in one year from conception to commissioning?

modular refineries are not bogus projects like the ones we know... how do NA destroy illegal refineries operating in Niger Delta. those are examples of modular refineries. they have minimum capacity unlike the gigantic ones...

so bro. its possible if only the oil importers will not make it unrealistic..
they feed on this forex to defraud the government by so. doing,investors will not want to venture into building a new one..

also the hostilities in Niger Delta is another issue.. militancy and pipeline vandalism may discourage would be investors not to build.. will the refineries get oil to refined after completion?.

those are the questions we should ask and answers required..

I See sense in this statement but would government ever look into it? i think of these thing one day but what can i say when a poor man in Nigeria dont have freedom of speech in government issue

why not find a way to refine our oil in our country than taking it abroad and pay a huge amount of money in dollar to refine oil

why not send atleast 20 people to go abroad and study the course (how to refine oil) atleast in some years to come all the dollar issue will stop a little,not that it will definitely stop because we see ABA PRODUCT AS FAKE BUT WE GO DUBAI TO BUY OUR NEEDS AND BELIEVE ITS ORIGINAL, IMPROVING OTHER COUNTRY WHILE OUR OWN IS DYING


NIGERIANS LETS DO SOMETHING TO HELP OUR COUNTRY

They may not be massive projects, but they sure do require more than a year to complete from concept to commission. And no, those illegal refineries which are usually destroyed are not necessarily modular refineries, those are makeshift death traps.

This is the same thing Pst David Ibieyomie said as the only solution out of Nigeria economic and forex woes.Refine oil in Nigeria and export out.Ifeanyi ubah who is a strategic player has stated the same thing and quantified how to go about that.
How I wish the daft government folks would realise this only solution and make the right decisions.

It is not as if the government of the day does not know all these, I just perceived conspiracy here. They want to shield Dangote's refinery and shut the door against any other refinery so as to give him monopoly power and discourage competition. They are waiting for 2018 that is refinery will be ready b4 the economy get fixed. Dangote always enjoy government favour and back up even at the expense of the masses that is why he is where he is now. I call it north Agenda.

what sense did he make?what i read is a man who thinks he is so smart,the reality is when others took to investing in refineries ,he stuck to importation ,now other refineries are almost ready he is looking for how to get a monopoly to give him time to build his while at the same time enjoying government money,i got to give it to him he is a smart guy but there is no need for him to worry the free market would sort out the dollar from 2018 private refineries would come on stream and importers like him would be chased out of the market,my advice to him he better gather his money together and head to the east and build his own refinery that would be feed from crude oil in anambra state,so he can control the eastern market and he should delete the thought from his mind that Government would give him money to build when others built with there own money

There is no way 75% of forex can be used for fuel alone. Modular refinery concept is good but being exargerated by Ubah.

Lol guy which kind painment be this..

Why worry over how he choose to relate his ideas...

Re: How Buhari Can Crash The Dollar/naira Disparity- Ifeanyi Ubah by 19naia(m): 6:33pm On Nov 01, 2016
Isn't that what Dangote is already doing with his mega refinery in the far reaches of Lagos state?
Are there not other investors already working along the same track?

How is this anything new except another scheme to pull finacial strings for chop chop opportunity.

It is a sound idea but suspicious when we consider that things are already in the works to make plenty of locally refined petrol happen.
Dangote and others are already working on a good plan. And there is a good reason why dangote has one mega refinery in his main focus rather than a spread of multiple refineries all along the coasts. Other refineries will follow regardless of the mega refinery, but they will come as the export of local Nigerian refined petrol grows in demand.

Nigeria as a whole, is a management calamity. A disaster of good ideas used and abused. Digging deeper with more of the same is not going to help.
Dangote is tried, tested and proven. Including that he is already on the job of making Nigeria refinery needs happen.
Also, Dangote already has Government finacial backng on his side plus the added advantage of private investors. He commands good faith among private investors from across the globe who make the government financial risk minimal because the investors bring in huge inflow of finance as well as international connections for ensuring the best possible success for the venture.

This idea of sufficient local refined petrol is already tapped and in progress of being made reality. It is being done by the best, the most proven and tested people who have their own finances to add, and the good faith of the global market.
No need for more. Besides, they would rather give Dangote the 2billion and have him make several quick pop-up refineries to start production in 6 months. But, for some reason in their tried and tested experience, Dangote team decided to take their time and do it right, do it bigger and do it better.

Leave good enough alone, the job is already taken and the niche already filled by those who know what they are doing. Be patient and buy more made in Nigeria good and diversify into non oil based forms of production.

Oils prices are falling as we speak and the expansion of electric automibile and solar powered homes is increasing around the world. Soon the impact will significantly affect the world oil markets until no matter how much excess refined petrol is produced, there will still be slowing amounts of oil $ coming in from petrol products sales. Also for the African niche of refined petrol needs, Ghana and other countries are working to produce excess to export. It will eventually drive the price down so low along side the drop in crude sale income, such that the overall value of sales will be low due to low prices of petrol and slowing demand for crude on the international market. The time is coming sooner than we think. Maybe in our very lifetime.

The Long term future is growing nearer and nearer every day. Ford has just released the all electric ford focus vehicle at a reasonable price.
Tesla is on the way with a lower cost version of their electric car as well as highly efficient solar electric systems for the home.
More Auto makers are following with their own electric cars just to stay relevant in the market. Nigeria will need to greatly diversify from oil production if the Nigeria economy is to remain relevant. Even China is up on the Alternative energy movement and they can take the lead soon to supply enough to the world to change the relevance of the global petrol market.

There are laws and resolutions placed all across the world in many nations to ensure a steady decrease in the dependancy on petrol.
The time is coming to change the CD in the music player and dance to a new song. Get with the times and don't be left behind scratching your head cursing Buhari for all that has come about as a result of your own over-reliance on imports while neglecting to produce locally beyond just Oil, oil and oil -for a world market that Nigeria has no controlling hand in for the price and stability thereof.

If Nigeria were the head of OPEC, the world oil economy would quickly resemble Nigeria's economy because of Nigerian Market culture of corruption, mismanagement and unstable price ranges due to shameless price gouging. Nigerians can over price and still sell rubbish for twice the price of good products in very strong economy Nations.
Dangote is a rare breed though, he will honor good market practices in terms of sales to customers. His prices will the closest to fair anywhere in Nigeria.
The global telecom industry giants also rose to massive wealth as billionaires when they moved to make network access cheaper. Their sales exponetiated and they earned more from selling cheaper than from selling higher.
This is why i have no reservations against any Dangote monopoly. All other options are Unproven and born of Nigeria prevailing Market culture. They will just try to become their own monopoly and most likely without the discipline and self control proven by Dangote. They will come in the spirit of the prevailing market culture to lie, cheat, steal and price gouge the customers into slavery. Dangote is a rare and well proven exception in Nigeria.
Keeping up the work against corruption is as important as anything else, because all good things will crumble in Nigeria under the wild beastly feeding frenzy of the prevailing corrupt elitists culture.


See what other innovative billionaires are doing across the world in a way that will redefine what much of the world relies on for Energy.

What most gullible people don't understand is that it is in the interest of some powerful forces for the country's economy to remain comatose. country no good but e get people wey e good for.
we should not have resorted to importation of fuel but some oligarchs felt it was in their interest that the refineries be grounded and importation becomes the one and only viable solution to the problem they created. Mr ubah, the dollar is not going to return to N200 because its not meant to return to that amount in fact if care is not taken self it might hit a N1000 naira soon.

This solution is not new! Governments since Obasanjo have been giving out licenses for investors to build refineries. None of them has except Dangote that got his licence last! The only new thing Uba is saying is for Govt to give them him and other interested people $2B to build 10 small refineries! I don't support that!
