Nigeria is now the second largest oil exporter amongst the OPEC nations (an improvement from seventh place last year) as a result of several factors especially the hugely successful Amnesty Programme which this administration will continue to pursue with vigour. We have also seen an expansion of our oil industry leading to the creation of jobs and reduction in casualisation of workers. GEJ

I have said it before and I will say it again, His Excellency's great vision and brilliance never cease to amaze moi.

whats the point here?

The point is that you should jump for joy at this monumental achievement.

How high should i jump

As high as the heavens will allow you. This is wonderful for your ego, you can now brag to your foreign friends about it with a great sense of pride that we are good at pumping oil from our lands.

^^ Hey Mac, don't go yet!

We need to broadcast too that having gotten to number 2, we excel in using the money on 11 (or is it 12) presidential jets when our colonial masters who remain much wealthier, use commercial airlines for Queen and PM. And when Obama has guests on Airforce-1, he pays commercial rates out of his own pocket on behalf of his guests so the USA is not cheated.

We need broadcast too that we spend Billions of that money handing over power from left hand to right hand of the same person while there are no jobs for millions who are bombed daytime by BH, shot evenings by soldiers, robbed nights by robbers and obtained mornings by police.

We need to broadcast that even now, a significant portion of what's will be earned this year is likely being earmarked as "compensation" for the 2 legislative houses to thank them for changing tenure to 10 (or more) years. Note that "or more" will induce larger Ghana must go bags.

Yep, let's keep celebrating- hip hip hip < fresh air!

You must be one of those bad-belle people Mr. President has been praying for to "repent". Victory na Victory! Achievement na Achievement!

and nothing to show for it.

Nigeria's profile is really on the upward swing under GEJ. Good signs of greater things to come. The naysayers might want to eat out their heart.

Who are you talking to?

The second highest Opec exporter that cannot refine its crude oil and spends billions to import petroleum products instead of using same to build schools, hospitals and roads.  The second highest Opec exporter that cannot provide its citizens with regular electricity and pipe borne water in the 21st Century!   Is the post a sick joke or what?

it has no impart on in the country

it is not reflecting on our economy so no need.

Right. I didn't realise Mr President is capable of sick jokes. At least he's good at something.

My friend, you are 100% right on the bolded bit. Absolutely right.

what has this feat translated to for the ordinary nigerian?
has it put food on the table of the ordinary 9ja man?
has it reduced the price of fuel by half?
has it propelled the govt to refine its own fuel internally and not to keep exporting?
these are the pertinent questions gej needs to ask himself.

you term this an achievement? For real?
Even if we usurp saudi as the largest exporter/producer, it doesnt matter and is not an achievment. What we should define as such is infrastructural development. This news doesnt make me smile. Good roads would make me smile.

Nigerians are too cynical and are unappreciative at GEJ's transformation agenda. If you do not know what transformation means, I suggest you go and watch the Transformers Trilogy.

ATTENTION PLS

The title of this thread on the homepage is wrongly spelt

'Nigeris Now 2nd Largest Oil Exporter In OPEC'

You see our Admin. was so excited by this great achievement that he forgot how to spell Nigeria. Such is the power of GEJ's transformational abilities.

How does this stop corruption, mismanagement of the public fund and rising unemployment in the country?

Is there really unemployment in this country? Just yesterday, one of our distinguished Senators was saying that the employment of about 500 special advisers/assistants by some our political office holders is a form of job creation. Those 500 special advisers/assistants will also go on to help their kith and kin with positions in their own office. So you might have a position that reads something like this: Assistant to the Special Adviser [/b]to the [b]Senior Assistant to the Senior Adviser to the Senior Adviser [/b]to the [b]Senior Special Assistant [/b]to the [b]Adviser to the Senior Special Assistant to the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor.

You can see yourself that this is one very long chain of employment. So, how can you be complaining of unemployment when there are so many "opportunities" to make money and earn a living under the current transformation agenda? It is these kinds of comments that makes GEJ feel unappreciated inspite of his tremendous efforts.

Jump for joy ke? Into the lagoon?
Somebody pls tell these guys that our clocks are ticking away, We are losing patience, person wey no sabi, make e talk am now make we commot am find replacement, nw wey we never dey fully disappointed. There shall be no excuses when we demand account of stewardship abi na presidentship on the da judgement day sorry election day (but wait O! Dis guy say im no dey come 2nd term , ).

Fine we are not saying its bad, its good for the economy. But how those it translate into Human developments or how those it benefit the average Nigerians on the street. If you tell this to a woman selling stuffs in the market or someone selling gala in traffic, how those it benefit them. The only people it benefits are the the oil companies and the government.
