SOUTH SOUTH, SOUTH EAST AND THE NORTH ARE THE PROBLEM IN NIGERIA

Wetin dey worry dis one?
Apart from the south west you omitted, is there any other region in Nigeria?
Ewu!
The south west is not exempted!

This's exactly how someone from Osun state thinks

A white man will do what you suggested and even do more— open them to the stock market, bring in investors, ensure they are made more technological and safety compliant, even encourage research students to develop papers and frameworks on these refineries, etc. It was from shanties like these that many of the white man’s inventions started.

A black man will destroy them and boast about it on TV, emotions puffing. And he would have people defending him. Some of them are on Nairaland.

That’s the major difference between the black man and the white man. The white man is largely driven by logic and pragmatism and the black man, largely, emotions.

Which white man? They are just boiling crude the same way local gin is produced. There are better technologies - including catalytic cracking after fractionating. The method they use is wasteful, and extremely dangerous to the environment. Whiteman will jail you 200 years if you try this in the US or Europe

hmmmm

Navy doing good job.
Kudos.

Are you with your senses at all?

They shld direct such energy to fishing out marauding Fulani-herdsmen and destroying them.

That's why we will continue to lose our talented citizens to England and America. Nizooria is indeed a shit hole.

GoroTango:
The fuel grade they produce is substandard and can cause damage to engines

Additionally, who wants to pay for crude oil when you can drill a hole into crude pipelines many of which run on the surface and siphon as much crude as you can .

LionDeLeo:
I don't get it, is it that these illegal refineries actually separate crude oil into its popular consumable components like PMS, AGO etc?

If that is the case, why not simply licence them, monitor them, supply them with crude oil at reduced price. I think that will, to some extent, reduce the importation of fuel, provide job, etc?

I still don't understand this concept of destroying illegal refineries.

yes but den dey r highly risky...u ought to see one wif fire literally showin nd one tin metal in a dirty muddy crude oil area like dt of a local mechanic workshop

lordsharks:


The fuel they produce is Bad, don't you get it?

The ones you buy at petrol stations might be worse.

Sometimes its good for one to expirience things b4 speaking about them,I have seen teh Diesel produced by this guys, its way better than the one I bought from petrol stations.They are getting better are producing thier stuff.What teh Fg ought to do is Licence them and apply strict quality control plus introduce Health and safety, see if Delta,Bayelsa,River dont provide all the fuel we need!

Boiling it with waht exactly ?
Hope you know that even in teh refinary The Power the generate to heat up crude is not enough to brake the carbon into produving the fuel wee need, they add a Catalyst to it!SO on teh back of that bross, what do they use to BOIL the CRUDE

just dey destrou people hustle for nothing

SOUTH SOUTH, SOUTH EAST AND THE NORTH ARE THE PROBLEM IN NIGERIA

And the SOUTH WEST that helped installed an illiterate to power in 21st century is not the problem..
And the SOUTH WEST that always defend/support the same north you mentioned while betraying their fellow SOUTH is not the problem?
Sincerely, SW is the problem of Nigeria because if they have merged with other south, I don't think that no northerner will be a president of Nigeria or at least they can be formidable in restructuring or dividing..
But as usual, an average afonja not all is always a betrayal..
Pathetic

Everyday we keep hearing of illegal refineries that are functioning why not put them in proper use and stop wasting the scarce resources when is the legal ones going to be of use?

hahahahah destroy and you are still paying ton export oil to refine and pay to import it back.

Na the only problem wey Nigeria government get be this one

The same white man will give a job to a brilliant hacker who’s hacked into a government protected system and left no trace— he won’t let the talent either go to waste or to be used for crime again.

There’s nothing special that the white man does; absolutely nothing. It’s just trying, no matter how hard, to make decisions via logic over emotions. Why should the army destroy what can be commercialised and turn into a money-making venture which will add tax to the economy, bring in jobs, etc?

Makes no sense.

Have you heard of black soot in Rivers State ? They are spoiling the environment. Nothing to commercialize, you won't understand. Refineries are not generally very profitable even with advanced methods.These guys method are very primitive. Nothing to commercialize

The memory card you have in your phone or camera didn’t start off as a tiny device. The first memory device was so big that a cargo plane had to carry it. If the inventors had baulked and complained at the size and inconvenience of the component, we probably wouldn’t have had the development we had today.

Of course the local refineries can be modified and redesigned. Do you realise that, during the Biafran war, it was local refineries that was used? Did you hear/ or read of mass deaths due to local refining? What would have happened if that technology was developed? Or if the local refineries being blown up (another environmental hazard) is made to develop?

Our gallant navy r doing a good job
Keep it up
RESPECT! !!!

You lot just come on line to type trash.The black Soot in Rivers state was as a result of the Burning of Oil badges by JTF

There's nothing to modify. I've worked long in niger delta. These illegal refineries are a mess. Graduate students of FUTO can design much better refining towers if you so desperately want traditional refining methods. We can encourage mediocrity when we have technology to do better. Illegal refineries are a mess to the environment, there's no special technology they use that needs to be modified. They boil the damn crude, extract bad fuels and dump residue in the creeks. You guys don't understand

GoroTango:

pls they only produce gas and small kerosene

I hope you don't expect me to clap for you for destroying illegal refineries?
I would have clapped for you if you've told me that these men operating these refineries without any knowledge of petroleum engineering have been sent abroad by the government to acquire up-to-date skill on crude oil refinary and that the government have either upgraded the illegal refineries to modern ones or that the government has build their own refineries.
If none of these things were done, there should be no need to be proud.
This is a country where people who have the natural endowment/talent to move the country forward are tagged criminals and are kept hidden in the dark so that THEY can continue with their nefarious acts

I work in a field that’s made me to see old steam engines— and the environmental mess and noise pollution their engines produced. Today we have high speed trains— noiseless, electric machines. I agree that it is a problem but I disagree that modification can not be done on it. I disagree that strict controls can not be implemented on it. I disagree that this ingenuity, rough as it may seem, can not be transformed.
