President can't enforce laws for 36 states, that's a fantasy! Give policing back to the states and let's go back to regional government......Issue of kidnapping should fall under terrorism and there should be a special unit for that, the unit should have autonomy and capable of overriding even the president as it is a matter of national security!

Those who have functioning IQ would ask this question first:

Why did you agree to be his running mate when you knew he would be a disaster? Are you not the real enemy of Ogun state? Because of your political ambitions, you preferred to stay silent and give calamity a chance rather than rebuke it..............Political ashawo

COOL STORY BRUH........Wale Adenuga himself could not have written a better script......10/10

Getting my person there?


this is your problem and the reason you supported Buhari for eight years and has nothing to show for it

You're definitely not talking about me bro, we no even dey the same time zone, just giving una insight into why your people keep losing elections in Nigeria......A smart person would think about it and adjust rather than lamenting on why Yorubas no dey vote for their candidates

zombieHUNTER:


Like Buhari was presented by Tinubu
and became the father of failure

North has ruled this country more,
I don't see how they're better off than the rest of the county..

my point, it doesn't matter where the president comes from, it matters if he's a righteous performer and has integrity.

When the righteous are in authority
the people rejoice

What yoruba people saw in Buhari and Tinubu should be studied in university, so it won't happen to mankind anymore
They singlehandedly killed Nigeria

You're still missing the point, what are you willing to do to make sure a righteous person gets there? You keep shouting Yoruba people as if no Igbo or SS or Northerner voted for them.

I've given you the recipe for getting your person there, it is up to una to use wisdom and apply it. Moaning about a tribe won't solve shin shin, study Obasanjo and how he and even Tinubu made GEJ palatable to Nigerians, it is a work of art by a Yoruba person, the same Yorubas you seem to despise now

Spandau:


But that fraud is not limited to Nija boys o. A lot of them Akatas too did it. I knew one girl who collected 22grands PPP from the government during COVID without owing a single business. I don't know if those ones will be picked up too.

Yes and 99.9% of them will be caught and prosecuted.......Government money na dangerous money o

zombieHUNTER:


Yoruba people are still supporting Buhari and Tinubu ... imagine what becomes of this country

Yoruba people will support anything if it is presented properly aka traditional rulers and market people's blessing. Once Igbo people figure out this trick, the road to presidency sure gaan!

E ti ri nkan nkan........I remember back in 2021 and 2022, guys dey cash out left and right, claiming 100 employees or more, I just dey laugh dem because the worst type of money to collect na government money.......The statute of limitation dey long gaan, money wey you fit don chop clean mouth, dem fit come drag you for old age and your yansh go dey show on CNN as Nigerian fraudster........Agba baller sha no drop soap for prison bathroom

Irrespective of one's personal experience, emotions, appreciativeness, simplicity etc. high paying should be do certain things.
Above average is something that covers decent accommodation, Average day to day bills, nothing too high, good healthy food, enough for healthcare or insurance, savings and Recreation/entertainments.
Then if it's well above this range, we say it's high paying
Is 70k, 100k, or 200k now anything close to high paying, objectively speaking & balanced, irrespective of how that earner may feel it go about life?

How's this objective and not subjective? So you mean irrespective of educational level, professional experience and expenses, the definition of a high payig job should be the same?

So you mean give two people 2 million Naira per month, one is able to maintain a small family, live within his/her means and invest while the other gives birth to 4 kids, carry oloshos and spends way above his means. You mean the definition of high income is the same for both of them and not subjective? No be juju be that?

Gerrard59:

The mistakes OP made are: not mentioning the grade of employment - experienced hire or entry-level; industry/field and state of residence. Even in the US and UK, salaries across fields and regions differ. The major difference between Nigeria and the US especially is the latter churns out jobs pretty regularly. Although some industries have had a lull in employment and inflation has devalued salaries.

Everywhere toff!

I agree to an extent, the USA also has high underemployment rate or even unemployment rate outside of the bullshit figures the government puts out. In the real world, people are going 6 months to over a year before getting another job after being fired or quitting. The problem with Nigeria is not enough companies and not enough innovation.

The USA had to go through a period of great depression which forced it to change the way people lived and earned. The private sector went through a complete rebuild and about over 10 government policies came into effect. During that time people hardly ate twice a day and basic things were considered luxury. If Nigeria is to develop and truly change, the government must rid itself of hardcore corruption and the people must change their mindset!

GreaterFuture:

High paying Job or pay is not Subjective. It is very much Objective. Standard metrics exist that define out human experience define it clearly.
Within the Nigerian context, high paying is not Subjective. Averagely speaking, there is an Objective point we can can call high paying or higher paying... From there onwards

You're caapping! I've specifically highlighted the different viewpoints, kindly read again. No such thing as averagely speaking! If you doubt that then can you please give me a figure that you consider high salary?

Human beings always compariing nonsense......Some even dey use USD calculate, job wey you started for 70k 3 years ago and they now increased your salary to 150k, some mumu go convert am to dollars and expect the companies to increase salary to something suitable in USD. ......No be juju be that? Is the company making twice as before in profits or you just expect it to perform magic?


Let's all go back to common sense reasoning, high paying job is subjective, for someone earning 60k, 150k na very high paying job. For someone earning 150k, 500k na very high paying job and for someone earning 500k and above, 2 to 3 milla per month can be considered high paying, while someone in my condition won't even consider 15 milla as high paying.

All in all, even if na 100k you dey earn, what matters are your expenses, more than 50% of all workers in Nigeria earn less than 150k per month, how dem dey do am? Figure it out and you'll discover the difference between knowledge and wisdom!

Except Sony also released a statement that this wasn't authorized, Trump has supporters like his fellow white supremacists country singers, use that instead, leave Celine alone

Read what I wrote again, the song is available for commercial use, anybody can purchase it for an event, I've purchased several for my business marketing. What was not authorized was her image being used as a prop for the event......Know the difference!

Y'all really think Trump controls the music at his rallies? This is another classic example of left wing desperation using cheap sentiments to portray a false narrative.

Music such as this one has commercial license that cna be purchased from Sony itself, this is not an endorsement but permission to use the music publicly. Even Sony can't deny this, what they are probably against is playing the video and for some to get the worng message that Dion supports Trump!

Lawyer that does not know the difference between technicalities and outright wrong. Nigeria has always been a nation of medicine after death, so many lawyers and genuises but none of them noticed the ambuigity in INEC's operations guide and the Electoral Act until it was too late.

The Einsteins of criticism would rather talk about blame and faults than to be proactive and point out errors before they occur......A nation full of saboteurs

PHAYOL81:


Nigeria still import PMS, to begin with, because Dangote refinery is yet to supply the market with it. And in addition, even if we have 60million litres daily requirement of PMS in line with our recent consumption rate （which I later found out to have peak at 64millions in June）in support of your claim, yet with the Dangote refinery configure to produce exactly 55% （as against my goof of 35% in previous post）of PMS from each barrel of crude, then the refinery is self sufficient with little to spare.
A 55% of 650000bpd will give us 60775000litres. Now, consider there are other private players already onstream, with one or two having capacities as big as 100,000, then Dangote would always have spare for exportation. We should also bear in mind the lost to smuggling. And moreover, there's the PH refinery in the picture too, if you're an optimist like me.
You made an allegation of refineries not ever performing to the fullness of their capacities but findings show that's not always entirely the truth. Majority of them in USA and China do 98 or 99% throughput which is as good as 100% and the challenges for others underwhelming performance to hit the height of their capacities had often been identified as FEEDSTOCKS supply insufficiency, DEMAND insufficiency, and MAINTENANCE issues. So, it ain't like none has ever produce as much as its potential stipulates.

I'm not going to argue with you too much, see the part in BOLD, prove it! I live in the USA and I've audited all types of companies from energy to the government. Majority of refineries in the USA are struggling to reach 90% efficiency not to talk of 98%. This is a country with no vandalism, advance technologies and so on........You want to compare it to Nigeria where all sorts of factors comes into play? No be juju be that?

See how hypocritical you are.

The same US, you accuse of stealing Nigerian's crude oil wealth, is the same US you are proudly claiming?

That's if it is true , you are on US.

What made in under level is that you live on the US?
What a childish talk.
Is that how you express your level of intelligence?
Young Man grow up.

Whatever makes you feel better about your misery my boi

blueAgent:

Clown.
You go 4 fit dey debate with me?

You way no get facts or evidence, dey form woke.

Again what's the point of debating with you? We're not on the same level, I'm a Republican living in the USA, so forming woke is alien to me.....Nice try tho

blueAgent:


My friend you have no arguments, just sentiments.

Who dey follow you argue? No be you dey mention me....Move on with your ignorance!

blueAgent:


Sighs!!! As if it makes any difference.

So were are the facts? Or state department dies not have files and statistics?

You want files and statistics to prove Western influence over the Nigerian oil sector? No be juju be that? I resemble whistleblower for your mind

blueAgent:


Veru useless writeup without facts.

Was it not your government that carried out the indiginization of the oil refineries, that lead to its present failure?

Is there any country in the world that is not a borrower? Including US,China, UK e.t.c.

So your claim is totally void.
You blacks and Africans over estimate your resources and capacity.

The West have all the money in the World they don't need to steal what they can afford.

I hope you know, just 4companies alone in US have revenue and market capitalization larger than the entire African Economy.

I live in the USA and I'm the son of a man who worked with the state department for over 20 years, I'm not here to convince you of shit, you only know what you know so go on with your ignorance young man!

[quote author=blueAgent post=131374478][/quote]


The story long o but make I give you hint, from Shell being given the sole rights to drill oil to the eventual creation of NNPC and the bastardization of the refineries in the 1990s to complete dependence on importation of oil.......The West in conjunction with IMF would rather continue to give corrupt leaders loans in exchange for oil based agreements that ensures oil exportation and pertrol importation levels remains constant.

The threat of having working refineries that would stop such agreement is tantamount to a declaration of war!

PHAYOL81:


I doubt Nigeria consume anything around 60 million litres per day. The number is between 30/33 million litres which is well short of the 53million litres dangote refinery would produce （of PMS）. A monthly consumption rate or better put, our regular monthly importation of PMS data stands at an average of 1billion litres. [b]So with the refinery configure to produce 53million litres everyday, it should be able to produce close to 1.6million litres monthly which covers our need and still leaves around 500million litres for FX generation. [/b]Remember, a chunk of the number we import （in PMS）are smuggled out through our leaking borders.
Besides, Dangote refinery ain't alone in the business in the country. We have many modular plants to help out and hopefully, some ongoing construction to help too even if we have to accept the national refineries are doomed never to function.
And to further correct another misinformation, Dangote refinery is 650k bpd capacity, not 600k.

Stop using Google AI and do actual research, bfore you shout misinformation, go back and read what I wrote, AS OF 2023, the daily consumption was over 60 million. Moving on, even if Dangote's refinery could work at full capacity for the whole year, it still would prefer to sell its product to international clients than Nigeria. Remember this is not a public/government owned refinery.

Lastly, let's even assume you're right and that single refinery along with the local options could cater to both Nigerians and international clients, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT STILL SPENDING 1 BILLION MONTHLY ON PMS IMPORT? Either your data is incorrect or the government sabi pass you. Either way do more research man, you clearly don't understand the difference between capacity and actual output!

lovinhubby2wife:


In Nigeria, we consume 44 Million litres per day, Dangote's refinery at full capacity will output 55 Million litres per day.
So, what exactly would we need 2 additional refineries for? Except you want to come from the angle of excess supply to lower demand curve, thus leading to a downward price chart .

So you believe a refinery is supposed to work at 100% capacity and that a country like 9ja would use it all just to service Nigerians? Una funny on this site o

PHAYOL81:
Dangote refinery is at number 7 on overall capacity list but is the largest single train of such facilities in the whole wide world. And, as a thoughtful advantage, the facility is designed to accommodate expansion that can take the capacity to a million bpd.



YOUR submission is misinforming and outrightly inaccurate. Nigeria hardly consume up to 300 million litres everyday while the refinery is designed to output PMS at around 35% of a barrel of crude. Mathematically, there should be surplus for exportation on daily basis as a barrel is equivalent of 155 litres which can increase as far up as 170 litres after refined （considering the addition of chemicals substances at the refining process）. A massive refinery like that should take care all our petroleum needs and generate massive forex too by the time it operate at full capacity.

Nigerians consume about 60 million liters per day as of 2023, that's approximately 400,000 barrel of oil per day. If Dangote's refinery is only producing 600,000 barrels per day, what will it do with it's obligation to refine oil for international clients?

Even if efficiency was increased to 100% WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE as the best refineries in the world only operate at 80 to 90% capacity). How much of that 600,000 barrels per day will go to Nigerians rather than international clients where more money is made?

Whether we like it or not, we need at least 3 of such refineries to reap full benefits! The U.S has over 130, U.K has at least 6 and South Korea at least 5.........What makes you think one refinery can service Nigeria's oblgations?

Omoawoke:


There’s zero excuse why Nigeria since 1960 should not have functioning refineries operating at full capacities and able meet local demands and even serve at least entire west Africa.
It is pure failure , Selfishness and wickedness of just a few people benefiting from this failure of a system

We're not talking about 1960 here, we are talking about now that Nigeria has a functioning refinery. Once you understand the role the West, OPEC & IMF plays in the situation, you'll understand that Nigeria will never ever stop importing refined oil!

Omoawoke:
This is just crazy..
Nigeria among the biggest oil producing country in the world and now has one of the largest refinaries in the world, yet fuel scarcity and high prices of fuel still our problem

Many of una know shin shin about economics, una just expect magic button wey go solve all problems. How much fuel is consumed monthly by Nigerians, now compare it to the maximum capacity of Dangote's refinery, you'll see that it would take at least 3 of such refineries to achieve the things you've listed above assuming they function at full capacity.
