Russia already said they won't sell gas to those that follows d price cap. There is china, india and other asia countries buying Russia gas at discounted price, OK

U don't get it... If no one buys ur gas.. and u depends on revenue from the sale of that gas.. if u must sell it... Is it not at any price the few buyers demand that u MUST sell it..?

China and India abandoned sauidi gas and oil and went for RUssia oil and gas.... Because Russia is stranded with it and will sell at any price... That's why dey buy aat discounted prices

You guys do not research before you choose to ash your country left right center. I bet you all do not know the Russia invasion of Ukraine has been planned over 2 - 3 years ago, and it is not what you see. The west knew it will happen but maybe they didn't believe it will be too soon.

The west have put plans in place about 2 years ago to get ride of Russian gas and crude and Nigeria/Africa is their chosen supplier. Project have been started since 2020 to deliver gas to Europe from Nigeria through Morocco and other African countries. Research the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline (TNGP) and the AKK project, then you will know we have been positioning ourselves with the help of the west to supply gas to Europe before your beloved Putin decided to invade Ukraine knowing fully well he is about to become irrelevant in world affairs'. if he looses his biggest gas market.
If you guys read news and do your research then you will know this. But most Nigerians do not read. And you think the west is responsible for the terrorisms in Africa. You all are wrong. Russia is responsible for worlds global terrorism.



Don't mind them. They are all kids, deceiving themselves. Jokers. They don't know what they want.

Pally go and take a chill pill, there is no law which says that Nigeria must only supply gas to Europe through a gas pipeline.

Nigeria through NLNG has over 7 LNG ships which can be used to deliver gas; in the event that they're not available we can hire several Q class LNG ships from Qatar or Korea to deliver the gas.

The problem is that Nigeria's gas infrastructure is not even fully developed, the little we have is being blown up by militants in the Niger delta creeks.

For your info Nigeria is sitting on about 190 tcf of gas which is one of the largest in the world...to put that in perspective the crude oil Nigeria is producing can be regarded as a by-product of gas cos our gas reserves dwarfs our oil reserves by far.

You wey dey read news I'm sure you didn't know all these till now!

By the way who said the project is Nigerians? Funding is being provided by companies in other countries along with logistics and you turn around and said it is your project. Partner, when you buy a house and still pay the mortgage on the house, that house is not yet yours, That is why the lender makes sure you have insurance on the house so as to protect their investment. The same thing with huge investments like this that costs Billions. I got news for you if ever is a civil war in Nigeria you can bet your last dollar that the US will deploy Navy ships to Nigeria to make sure nothing ever happens to the flow of Crude oil. You can kill each other for all they care but that oil must continue to flow.

I didn't say the project is Nigerians. I know it is been funded by European companies. After all The Nigerian government was okay with the gas been flared all these years, it is only when the Europeans had interest in it and wanted to get off Russian gas they decided to fund it. it is left for our government to demand a fair deal from the European companies, but i am sure the made a horrible deal as a lot of us do not know what is in it for our country. And that is mostly because we do not hold our so called accountable, they are supposes to inform us about the full details of the deal they are signing with these foreign companies. I remember recently when some few Nigerians raised concern about the Chinese loan for infrastructure some time ago, as to how the Chinese government will waive our sovereignty a seize any of our asset in case we default on the loan payment, the government through the minister ameachi came forward to divert our attention and never gave details about the deal whether it is true or false and we all got distracted and forgot about the main issue then, until we later found at we are trapped when these set of evil leader are no longer around, then our eyes will become clear.

That's right, there are poor household everywhere, but that's not the same thing as when people think vaguely that "nepa go cease light" for Europe, its very funny when you ear people in Nigeria talking like that. And I am not downplay it. I gave an example with myself. And I live here and know how people shout if the cost of things increase by even €2. So someone in Africa will see it and think people here are suffering

I don't think Europeans will freeze but reduce the level at which you downplay everything. Even without Russia/Ukraine war, we knew that some households even in USA sometimes found it difficult to afford warming their house properly due financial constraints

I like people who know what they are saying.

Side note: America and Europe shouldn't have pushed Russia to the wall, they didn't believe that Putin had liver.

Here is the truth America knows that China with all the noise they are making will never invade Taiwan. Why !!! because China is an export dependent country. America thought the same about Russia. When Russia warned that accepting Ukraine into NATO is a red line that mustn't be crossed we thought they were just making noise. Well it turned out they weren't the problem now is finding a face-saving way out of this mess. US was already pivoting towards Asia as the next conflict area. We need to find a way to end this conflict fast. I am looking toward the G27 meeting in Malaysia in October Biden Putin and Xi will be attending I expect something to happen. Ukraine will be thrown under the bus. Russia will be allowed to keep some territories they have conquered and some pittance of territory will be given back to Ukraine. Assurance will then be given to Russia not to allow Ukraine into NATO, also included will be not to station nuclear weapons in Finland and Sweden even if they are in NATO. Ukraine is small potato in the grand scheme of things JAPAN is main straw.

There is very little you can tell me about the energy industry in Nigeria that I don't already know!

And you think I do not know that we supply gas to Europe through LNG ship. Mind you i have worked with the NLNG before and I know all about the LNG fleet the have supplying gas to Europe from Nigeria. And you think transporting LNG through the sea by ship will make the gas cheap. Mind you they are complain for the product been expensive now and and they want to make it cheap. Do you think it will be cheaper suppling gas by ship or through pipelines. Answer. Even the NLNG you so boost of was built by a British company Shell.

Rest assured whatever deal is struck will need the State Department's sign-off. With that sign off comes congress oversight. Nigeria's interest will be protected and amicable compensation will be given. If not the print press will expose the whole thing. One thing most big Companies try to avoid is picking a fight with people that buy ink by the barrels.

Lol. They won't though. They have enough nuclear power to heat up homes via electric heating.

Emergency procedures will include large office complexes shut down so workers can work from home.

It's their factories and economy that will suffer. Nobody will freeze. Europe too solid sha.
It's the Ukrainians that will freeze and that is why they are bursting their veins with mouths dripping saliva over the large nuclear plant Russia seized. If the power gets cut during winter its game over for Ukraine.

Nevertheless WINTER IS COMING grin

The Winter, Russia's General January and General February at the behest of Czar Putin:

The invasion of Russia
demonstrates the importance
of logistics in military
planning. Napoleon and the
Grande Armée developed a
proclivity for living off the land that served them well in
the densely populated and
agriculturally rich central
Europe with its network of
roads. Rapid forced marches
dazed and confused old order Austrian and Prussian armies
and made foraging difficult. In
Russia, many of the Grande
Armée’s methods of
operation did not work and
they were handicapped by the lack of winter horse shoes,
which made it impossible for
the horses to obtain traction
on snow and ice. Forced
marches often left troops
without supplies as the wagons struggled to keep
up. Lack of food and water in
thinly populated,
agriculturally sparse regions
led to the death of troops by
exposing them to waterborne diseases through drinking
from mud puddles and eating
rotten food and forage. The
front of the army received
whatever could be provided
while the formations behind starved. In fact, starvation,
desertion, typhus, and suicide
would cost the French Army
more men than all the battles
of the Russian invasion
combined. Following the campaign, a saying arose that
the Generals Janvier and
Février (January and
February) defeated Napoleon,
alluding to the Russian Winter.
While the harsh weather was an important factor in the final
defeat of the French Army,
historians point out that most
French losses took place
before the winter and the
common narrative that identified the extremely cold
weather as the main reason
behind the French loss is a
myth (perpetuated also by
Napoleon’s advisers).

Their storage doesn't mean their demand for winter.

Russia won't destroy Europe or anything, but they can make them sweat.

It's not about winter cold. The benefits of. Russia oil and gas to Europe is the pricing. They buy cheaper than market price that makes their products competitive. With the current frenzy, the energy prices will be like like Nigeria, their income will not be able to pay their cost of living.

Nigeria has the 9th largest natural Gas Reserves in the world. Some consortium of US energy companies are already planning how to construct 4000 kilometers pipelines from Nigeria all the way to link up with Algeria's current pipelines going into Spain. I read that in Wall Street article. The main hold up appears to be political stabilities in some countries. Right now the Fifth fleet is based in Qatar and UAE, a similar Navy presence will have to be developed to guide against saboteurs in some African Country.

I hope the gas you're bragging about is the one in your Papa compound and not the one in Igboland. Anybody entering any part of Igbo land for gas that he doesn't know how it got there will not live to tell the story.

The moment Nigeria gets a good leadership, EU can call the bluff of Russia cos Nigeria can feed the EU foe years if properly harnessed.
