That's the most level of stupidity

Any serious-minded government next year should forget any form of TAM on our refineries. Privatise them all and issue modular refinery licences, not the type of selective issuance as witnessed in this government.

This should shock Nigerians...

Diesel refined from thjse illegal refineries are as pure as the imported ones. Anyone who had worked around the creeks in the past wouid affirm this. Invite them, give them the needed skills, empower them to do more by issuing them licences with financial back up but with close monitoring. Fuel go be like water in Nigeria. Then, stop subsidy completely and improve surveillance at the creeks. As of 2 days ago,an illegal vessel loading crude was still intercepted.


What you stated here is the only way to turn things around in Nigeria. That $2.7B Nnpc gave to Dangote could have been used to empower lots of modular refineries in the Niger Delta.

It's small businesses that will lift Nigerians out of poverty.

We Niger Deltans have to be smart. The agitation should include modular refineries. So we can pump out as much fuel as possible.
Re: Petrol Imports Gulp ₦‎17 Trillion, Refineries Stay Dormant by Nobody: 8:16am On Nov 13, 2022
The only way a new government can stop importing fuel is to remove fuel subsidy

That is the first step.

Remove fuel subsidy, allow the market set the price, and refining crude oil becomes profitable

You cannot sell something that costs 500 naira at 180 naira and expect miracles

[quote author=owobokiri post=118347130]Rogues!
Petrol imports gulp these much simply because we are the ones supplying all the fulani republics in West Africa. Like Peter Obi said, we are importing 4 times the amount of fuel being used by countries of similar size like us, eg: Pakistan. So where are the whole products going to?

They are being shipped to Niger, Northern Cameroon, Chad and Northern Mali them. The North has caliberated a very effective imperialist scheme of looting the resources of the whole country and using same to enrich their tribal kiths and kins in different African countries. This has gone for far too long, it now has to stop.

Obviously, "Fuel subsidy" in Nigeria, is the biggest fraud going on anywhere in the whole world. This fraud generates billions weekly for the crooks in power and their subordinates. The calculations are spurious. These are all elite invented projects to defraud a country they NEVER believed in but are willing to kill for, because it's their cash cow.

stop quoting peter obi he is as useless as Buhari and other candidates is he not one of the number one importer in Nigeria

Those illegal refineries are an environmental disaster. The destruction of the Niger-Delta ecosystem might force massage migration to the south-west that will lead to another security disaster.

Your earlier point on privatising the refineries to suitable operators and building modular refineries is the correct solution as it will open up the oil downstream sector to multiple actors that will provide Dangote with competition.

Not a new thing. Refinaries will not work as people are making billions daily. It is institutional, entrenched. We said it then when they were sold, allow it to go, but Nigerians protested. Now we spend billions maintaining refinaries that don't produce a drop of petrol. Why has Dangote refinary not worked despite packing almost all our forex over the years and even the recent Nnpc imput of about 3b dollars?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Brilliant suggestion. Wish government would listen and implement those ideas. Though Atiku has promise to privatize them if elected.

Atike has not even displayed much zeal in changing Nigeria compared to how much Buhari did. Yet, Buhari failed. Isn't that an indicator that he would fail should he become the president?

Judging by the fact that both Buhari and Atiku belong to the same generation

You're right. I'm also not in support of the illegal refineries and that's why I suggested the govt should give them the right skills and support them financially to scale it up with close monitoring of their activities

Whereas in 2015, that short memory man called Tinubu who is hell bent in becoming the next president of this great nation opened his old smelling mouth to say that fuel subsidy was a scam. They all should keep looting and killing this country as they don't want to fix the system to work. Bunch of thieves and hyenas.

Anybody campaigning or planning to vote for APC in 2023 seriously need his brain to be examined. See what Nigerians got themselves into by allowing Buharii and Tinubuu deceive them in 2015 and 2019.
Nigeria needs a technocrat to reset the nation in 2023 otherwise it is finished. Obi/Datti of Labour Party is the face of a new Nigeria.

You can't train desperate people, that only started illegal refineries to ward off the impact of poverty. It's better to provide them with low-skilled artisan skills. The illegal refineries operators have limited latitude of health and safety; Refineries are a very complex system that requires years of training and experience to operate efficiently.

Nigerians are short-sighted, they are not good students of history.Our refineries started going down during the military regime of IBB and ABACHA,they gave the TAM job to their cronies,which they never did,the rot started from there.When OBJ took over, remember he was installed by the Fulani's,he continued to toe the same line that destroyed the country's refineries,he started the round -tripping game of taking the crude outside to the refineries they built in other countries to refine and bring back to the country at a huge cost,
GEJ followed the same pattern,it only became glaring during this incompetent administration where nothing works.It is even more annoying to note that those jostling for political positions in the country now are part of the problem.Nigerians need to revol against these self serving and unpatriotic political leaders.Our PVC cannot bring the desired change.
