tflow: What an interesting topic.I did it for 3 good year n never made a penil rather I wasted those years,time,money n dreamt of something dat wil never cum true.my only regret is my stupid friend dat introduce it to me.anyone telling u he or she has a product is just startin or introduce to the business.even if u ask a dog on the road in apapa if he has AGO d dog will tell u he ask just to know how stupid n crazy the business is.

I was in the bank with my buyer,all for the bank manager to bring out a fake document.there has never been a product in the first place.all dis that people say I have dis or dat is just a mere hoax.

Just imagine someone telling u that he has 20000MT of AGO that could worth billions of naira now send a common agent to start lookin for buyer is dat not insane.most of dis product are being financed by the bank so plsssss don't wast ur precious time n money lookin for fakers.the buyer n seller never agreed for once so they are just as stupid as the facilitator,cos they know they are not going to buy nor sell infact no product no money.I really suffered for that 3years but thank God I gat the experience about oil n gas.

Right now am the CEO of JollyGood Nig.ltd so I av my own company n do the downstream that is local supply of AGO,PMS n DPK.everybody in apapa are agents just wastin time n money most are just like dis agbero or taut.I really wish they could realise this on time n find sumthing better doing.anyone interest could call me on 08037699996.

GideonG: It has been very frustrating, buyers and sellers don't always agree,so the will be wasting your credit and time.
So many times I was close to hitting it but at the end a very small thing will change the whole thing.

Day before Yesterday I was in Abuja for some buyers that needed 5000MT of DPK NNPC allocation. the alerted the bank, their money is ready I was there everybody was there but the supplier f**kd every body up. could'nt come down to Abuja to present the Hardcopy of the documents that's how we lost that.

It's been like this for long. the buyers will contact you and you will start wasting credit calling suppliers at the end of the day it will notwork and you will loose everything.but we can't stop doing it one day it's going to work! No need to give up even if you spent N50000 on calls just one deal can make you freaking rich!

lucynkem: I agree with alot of post here, however I must say that I have made some good money from oil and gas products sales and marketing. There are alot of scams but that is mainly because people are not able to weed off time wasters from real sellers and buyer. If you are still inot it, we could discuss, the get you back into track. I am currently based in London but we talk on phone if you send me your email and number. I will give you some tips to help weed off time wasters. BUT YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO BE HONEST. My email is lucynkem@yahoo.co.uk

jesuspikin: yes i made some bucks co coordinating bunker badges for my boss,buyers who are ready to venture into the world of the creek amnesty boys should reach me timelexinterbiz@gmail.com.there is no great wealth without a crime.

The Nigerian oil and gas industry is a massive one with so many opportunities.Nevertheless,the not too friendly business climate in Nigeria and our bad international reputation is not helping matters at all.
I have seen guys who have made real money in facilitating crude oil deals in Nigeria.At first,I saw it as a waste of time as I could not understand how individuals could facilitate crude oil transactions between the Nigerian government and interested buyers.At that time,I thought crude oil deals were only between the Nigerian government via NNPC and government of other countries like the US and China.I was among those that would make jest of one of my friends who we thought was wasting his time on something that would never be realized but,we were wrong.
The guy in question was so wretched that at times,he would beg me to buy him time in cyber cafes or beg to make a minute call with my phone or send a text.All these changed one day he cruised into the cyber cafe where we usually browse with a brand new Toyota Camry and looking totally changed.He had new clothes,shoes,etc.
We got curious and asked hoe come and he told us that one of his deals ad clicked.What was his share?
$0.25cents/barrels of 2million barrels of BLCO totaling approximately $500,000.00.
He dashed us money and bought free time for everyone present that day.He even invited us to his church for thanksgiving.Mehn,I became interested in the business and he was good enough to put me through the basics which most people would not have done.From then on,I started pursuing it vigorously and it consumed the better part of my income plus savings - making calls,internet,going for meetings and all that.

At first,I thought it won't take me up to a month to seal a deal but I was wrong but I did not relent then until February, 2010 when I thought my breakthrough had come.Actually,the deal was 2million barrels of  BLCO and it pulled through successfully.SPA was signed,ATB given by seller,clearance paid by buyer,vessel moved to Cotonou for Q&Q which was done successfully.To tell you the truth,I had written out a cheque for the purchase of my church land which was a vow I made then and I had started pricing the new house I would buy but something happened.
When it was time for payment,the buyer said he cannot pay all the accounts on the SPA (there were about 8 a different accounts) because if he did,he would have to explain some things to IRS and the FBI which he said he didn't want to do.So,he instructed us to come up with a two paymasters among us.One paymaster was to receive $0.50cents/bbl which is approximately $1m.My own share from the whole thing was $0.20cents = $400,000.00
The paymaster for our group was a Nigerian based in Ukraine so we all agreed for the money to go into his account while we all signed MOU with him.At the end the payment was made into his account but he started telling us cock and bull stories which I cannot share here because of time.At the end,till today,I am yet to receive my $400,000 which I worked for.His phone number is no longer going through,he doesn't reply his emails and he's no longer online on skype and yahoo messenger as he used to be.I got word that he left Ukraine and is now in Turkey while some said Germany.That's how I lost a life changing $400,000.00 to one untrustworthy he-goat.That's why I always say "a Nigerian will always be a Nigerian,whether he's abroad or not.You can take the person away from Nigeria but you can't take the Nigerianess away from him"

So,with this I am more than convinced that it is real.I didn't stop there although it affected me a lot but I did not relent.I have since then kept on pursuing it and I know that one day,it will click again.That's my personal experience.

From my own observations,I have come to understand that there are lots of fake people in the industry - both buyers and sellers.Guys that can barely pay telephone and hotel bills not to talk of having the money to purchase big volumes of crude oil as they claim.I remember one that came from Cotonou one time claiming he's a buyer.After meeting him in Maryland,my partner and I ended up paying his hotel bills that night.
The truth is this,most of these so-called Nigerian/Cotonou/Togo/Ghana buyers who claim to want to buy 2m barrels are fakes.They are time wasters.that's why I always avoid them because I know at the end of the day,the deal would never pull through because once the chips are down,they would start giving excuses or asking for things that are not just possible.How can someone ask a seller to move his loaded vessel to Cotonou without commitment or proof of funds? It's simply shows they don't know what they are doing because if not,they would know that vessels don't run on waters - that you need millions to bunker a vessel with AGO.

For me,I deal directly with recognized sellers/JV Operators who are proven to deliver for example TOTAL,SHELL and MOBIL.If I must deal with other sellers,then I must see and confirm the seller's NNPC allocation.On the other end,I deal with foreign buyers based in US,UK,Germany,Netherlands,etc who have the financial capability to buy crude but it does not mean that there are no fake foreign buyers.But,with due diligence and check ups,you will know those that can perform.

With the above said,if I had like about $20,000.00 right now,I would have closed a deal long ago through TOTAL.
TOTAL only requires the buyer to charter or precharter a vessel and they will give NOR is 48 hours after which the buyer is expected to give POF before transhipment.My buyer has told me that because of their past experiences in Nigeria,they can no longer charter vessels waiting for a seller to perform.There have been times when they ran into debts after chartering a vessel for 3 months and the sellers could not perform.So,they told me that if I am sure of my TOTAL connection,I should use my money a precharter the vessel on their behalf after which if TOTAL sends NOR,they will POF and take up the product from that point.But,where man fit get that kind of money from?

To precharter a 2million barrel vessel from Fleet Managers,Dubai through their registered agents in Nigeria,it's about $12,500 which will last for two weeks.Within the 2 weeks validity of the precharter,the transaction must have been concluded as TOTAL will send NOR to the prechartered vessel within 48 hours.Their price is 10/8 which is very good and if I offer my buyer 10/6 they will take it.This will leave another $2.00/bbl to play around with.
Making money in this is very easy provided you have the right connections to the real people.
In this business,it's not all about working hard,it's all about working smart.You can work hard with the wrong people for 10 years and get nothing,but with the right people,you only work smart and become rich in not more than two weeks.

Always try to get it straight from the beginning.Tighten the seller's end by being sure of his performance and tighten the buyer's end also by being sure of their financial capability to pay for the products.
I have seen TOTAL send NOR to a buyer's prechartered vessel but the buyer could not POF and the deal stalled.Then the guys that paid for the precharter lost their money without getting anything back.

Enough said,Nigerian crude oil business is real but there are certain things one must know and do to succeed and with due diligence,success is guaranteed.

If anyone with good connections and is interested in working with me,you can drop me a line nanichient@gmail.com

Thanks.
