chaloskyx:Point 1 is very valid but from point 2, you just descended into half truths and pure conspiracy theories. What market is in Africa? We have the lowest PPP and HDI. Bad people beget bad leaders, our political leaders are the reflection of the people. Why does a person need N5-10b to become governor or as much as N100b to be president. Nigerians have turned political offices into a business and wherever business is done, a profit must be made. Will you spend N5b to become governor and not make(steal) money from government to repay those who financed you and keep some for yourself? Until Nigerians decide to tell the political class, we don't want your money, tell us what you're going to do for us when you enter office and the people proceed to vote in one voice without financial inducement. Nigeria will never have good leaders. The comatose refineries are just conduit pipes for stealing money and Dangote is only building a refinery now because the Dangote group can afford to service the loans needed to build the refinery comfortably without it being weakened. The electric car is still decades away from making oil cheap. Cars only account for PMS consumption, there are no electric lorries or trailers, jets or ships. These other means of transportation consume diesel and kerosene which is also a product of crude. Crude also has so many by products that are still very needed. The current price collapse is due to supply glut. When COVID19 is no more and the world returns to normal, the price of crude will gradually climb back up to the price range of before the lock down. 4 Likes 1 Share |

miltonchux: To buttress your point, why will Dangote be building a 650,000 bpd refinery when Crude Oil will be useless as being speculated in some quarters. For your information, marginal field operators in the country are also embracing the concept of modular refinery. Definitely, other forms of energy will come. But the question remains, how soon? Pending when the above question will be answered, Crude Oil isn't worthless yet. 1 Like |

Racoon: This is a crisis that can transform Nigeria, oil renting will always keep the country poor and recuring expenditure high. The government should sell assets to competent investors, the oil refineries and steel plants can easily raise $3-4 billion that can be invested in Mambila Hydro Electric dam. The emphasis should be on an added-value chain export-driven economy, based on finish products such as refine oil and gas, steel, agriculture products, fertilisers and petrochemicals. 1 Like |

Osidazz19: You are the fraudulent one because without crude oyel in the Nigerdelta washing your brain, you would have asked for dissolution of one Nigeria long ago. Your friends up north adopted unconstitutional sharia criminal codes in 12 northern states, it was like declaring a quasi new country in the north, but still clutch to one Nigeria because of crude oyel. Shorrruuuup.

TheAlchemist:There has to be restructuring of the country to enable states develop at their own pace, harness their recources, either human capital, natural etc. If a states resource is water, they should provide hydroelectric power and sell. If yours is agric, focus on that. If it is Lagos, let Lagos develop through its ports, human capital, huge tax revenue etc. If it is abia, let them be the China of cloths manufacturing, textiles etc. Rivers, let them use their oil, port taxes etc. See only this way can Nigeria move ahead, if not we remain the same way, poverty capital of the world for next 100 years. 4 Likes |

Lol...how much does it cost to even get one barrel from the well into the vessels? Heard it was around $30pb. So that's about $20 USD deficit per barrel. . . lol. Same oil Buhari was looking for in the north as his own diversification. 1 Like |

haywire07: We never built adequate storage. So we end up keeping crude on tankers at a cost that forces us to sell. Last week we sold at around $15. This COVID-19 implicati6gor our economy and exchange rate no be here. The country is technically in recession now. |

Prudency045: The majority of oil export is for cars, power generators and Electricity power plants with the advent of Electric Vehicle (EV), Solar Energy and Battery and Natural Gas there will be fewer requirements for crude oil export. |

stanisbaratheon:No refinery now. Let me give you an example. My country of residence is one of the largest producer of crude oil in the world, but our crude oil (heavy crude) is very difficult to refine, so we export to countries that have the refinery capacity majorly the USA. However, oil for consumption in the country is imported majorly from Saudi Arabia becuase the refineries in the country were designed to refine light crude. As a result, cost of buying petrol at stations is not cheap even though we are the number 2 or 3 with the largest reserve in the world. |

haywire07: You seem not to undeestand the whole story. Oil priceYou're right has fallen to its lowest in decades. No one is ready to buy our oil again even with discount. We have various cargoes on the sea unbought. Our revenue is largely dependent on oil. So how does storing up crude oil in reservoir help us now or in future when we dont have market for it? How do we survive as a nation now when our govt is only fixated on oil and wasted a whole lot of money in the morth looking for oil? |

peeps4u: At least they have something to fall back to. What about the Niger Delta region? They have nothing to fall back to. No fishing, no farming and oil is no longer selling. Amnesty was benefitted by individuals and not communities. They people still live in abject poverty only few where empowered. North has agriculture to fall back to as well. 1 Like |
