......that moment when u realize NIGERIA is d best country u could ever be...

Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade, has blasted President Muhammadu Buhari over the death of electrocuted University of Lagos student.
Omotola has said that she is not happy with the way both the states and federal administration handles matters particularly when human lives are engaged. According to her, the incumbent government keeps clamouring for change, yet they cannot show what they have been agitating about. The actress frowned at the how the Lagos State government and the Federal government have kept silent over the sudden death of a 300 level student of the Accounting department of the Lagos University. Omotola got angry over the matters after about three days gone; the administration was yet to publish a statement on the issue which according to her is a sign of ignorance and lack of respect for humanity. She said: “A Nigerian student is electrocuted and no statement from both state and federal government? Do Nigerian lives matter? How is there ‘change’ when this government can’t show its people they are valued? Who do they work for? Cattles, Aliens? Negligence and lack of respect.”

Protest?? For what?

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has
recommended the sale of the nation’s three
refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna due
to some challenges the agency described as
critical elements, which may continually hinder
their effective operation in the hands of the
Federal Government.
NNPC has equally finalised its position on the
protracted pipeline surveillance, with a verdict
that the protection of the pipelines be entrusted
to the military, which it believes can effectively
protect the critical facilities.
A source in the corporation, who spoke to one of
our correspondents on Saturday in Abuja, said the
corporation’s stance was informed by the position
of the NNPC Stock Reconciliation Committee,
which met last week in Abuja to assess the
performance of the refineries and associated
logistics.
The source, who is very close to the committee,
explained that the committee concluded that the
operation of the refineries could not be profitable
under the current arrangements, which the panel
described as unfavourable.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
explained that the Ship-to-Ship transfer, which
the corporation has employed to get crude oil to
the refineries, cost between $6m and $7m per
vessel and load one million metric tonnes of crude
oil.
“MC COSMIC and MC JEWEL, which are engaged
to transfer crude to Warri refinery because of their
carrying capacities of about one million metric
tonnes, collect between $12 and $14m per
operation(trip). These are heavy vessels that load
crude and transfer to smaller vessels. They then
transport the crude to where the product can be
transferred to the refineries.
“The same scenario is replayed to get the crude
to the Port Harcourt refineries. If you add the
amount to the already huge cost, you will realise
that the nation cannot sustain the refineries on
the prevailing conditions,” the source added.
The committee, it was learnt, also recommended
the stoppage of the SWAP and the Offshore
Processing Agreement (which had been carried
out), in order to increase local availability of
crude to the refineries.
“Crude business is done three months ahead. It
was already concluded during the immediate past
administration that the three refineries would be
sold, even though the government had stocked all
the materials for the turnaround maintenance of
the refineries.
“So, there wouldn’t have been any crude for the
local refineries if the SWAP deal and the OPA had
not been cancelled; so, the quota that would have
been exported was rescheduled to the three
refineries,” our source said.
Disclosing that the Kaduna refinery started
production from its Fractional Cracking Catalytic
Unit at 11.50am on Saturday, the source,
however, said the threat posed by pipeline
vandalism remained the greatest challenge to the
local refining of petroleum products.
“Kaduna refinery has the capacity to crack any
type of crude from any part of the world, be it
light or heavy. The FCCU, which produces all
components of petroleum products from the crude
supplied, started production at about 11.50 this
morning. During the week, it was undergoing
processing,” the source added.
“The fear of the committee, however, is that the
number of leakages along the Warri-Kaduna
pipeline will not allow the transfer of petroleum
products to continue. In July, when the Kaduna
refinery was about to start production, the
pipeline had been breached in 78 points between
Warri and Lokoja. The vandals have been able to
identify the difference between the pipelines
carrying crude, gas and refined petroleum product.
And once there is a breach in one of the pipelines,
other pipeline will be shut down.”
The source equally explained that the menace of
vandals would also not allow fuel tankers to
leave the nation’s highways soon, especially
Lagos.
He said the NNPC had recommended to the
Federal Government that the military should be
directed to take over pipeline surveillance, as the
agency would no longer be able to carry out the
protection of the pipelines across the country.
“With about 250 points being attacked on a
monthly basis, and the huge cost of putting them
back in shape, there is no way the government
can sustain such losses, which it had intended to
stop,” he stated.
The source said owing to the challenges outlined
by the committee, the panel believed the best
operation for the government was to sell the
refineries in their current state while holding on to
a “minimal stake” in the facilities.
“The recommendation is that the government
should sell the refineries as they are. The same
principle applies to our cars; it gets to a point
that we believe that they are no longer serving
the purpose for acquiring them. The refineries
have become a burden. It has been recommended
that if the government will not embark on outright
sale of the refineries, it should go into partnership
but hold a minimal stake in the venture, especially
with those who built the refineries initially,” the
source added.
It was also gathered that the government had
been advised to facilitate the setting up of
modular refineries, which are smaller but runs on
modern technology, to replace the existing
facilities, which are even obsolete.
However, President Muhammadu Buhari is said to
have disagreed with selling the refineries for now
on the ground of what the source explained was
based on “social and political” factors.
“You know the connection between the President
and how he facilitated the setting up of the
refineries in Port Harcourt. He is highly concerned
about what the people will say. He is also said to
be considering what the cost of petroleum
products will be after the sales; considering what
the government pays silently at the moment to
make sure petroleum products are readily
available,” the source said, while explaining that
Buhari’s reaction had been made known to the
top management of the NNPC.
Meanwhile, the NNPC has denied any plans to sell
the country’s refineries at present.
According to the corporation, reforms by its new
management have not suggested the sale of the
three refineries located in Warri, Port Harcourt
and Kaduna.
The corporation’s Group General Manager, Group
Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, told our
correspondent on Saturday that although the firm
had undertaken series of reforms since its new
management came onboard, it had not
recommended the sale of the national refineries.
Alegbe said, “There is nothing like that.”
When told that there are concerns that the NNPC
might not be able to protect the pipelines and
that the Federal Government should take over the
surveillance of the facilities, the corporation’s
spokesperson replied, “It is also not true.”
On the level of vandalism and how it affects the
respective capacities and outputs of the refineries,
Alegbe stated that the corporation had adopted
various measures to check the menace of crude
oil pipelines destruction.
Explaining how the corporation had been
protecting the pipelines in the interim since the
cancellation of various pipelines’ protection
contracts, he said the NNPC had engaged
security agents of different communities where
the facilities run through.
Alegbe said, “Firstly, there was no contract with
the OPC (Oodua Peoples Congress) please. We
have the police, the military and we also engage
with community-based groups. And it is not as if
the pipelines were left unprotected. We have the
military, the civil defense and the police, and
some leaders of communities that are bordering
some of these pipelines have been involved in the
protection process.”
One of the latest reforms of the NNPC’s new
management, which was carried out last week,
was the trimming down of the off-takers for the
lifting of Nigeria’s crude oil from 43 to 16.

Is not about the news source. It is about how credible that news source is.

Why hasn't the news been carried by CNN, BBC, Aljazeera, and other reputable news agencies.

This story is not even on NASA website.

This is a mighty hoax and it is the kind of story that Christians like. On a normal day, they would have flooded this thread shouting about the end of time. I wonder where they are today.

And the worst part is that some people are already believing it without asking questions.

First and foremost, Jupiter and Venus are very far apart. They are about 0.634 billion(0.634 x 10⁹) kilometres apart when they are on the same side of the Sun. Not to talk of when they are on opposite sides of the Sun.
Their orbits are not anywhere close to each other.

The orbit of Venus is fairly circular with the Sun at the centre and at the point when it is closest to the Sun,its distance from the Sun is is about 0.107 billion kilometres.
Jupiter's orbit is elliptical with the sun at the centre and at the point where it is closest to the Sun, its distance from the Sun is about 0.741 billion kilometres. So at the point where they are both closest to the Sun(which, logically, is the point where they both are closest to each other), they are still 0.634 billion kilometres apart.

And Venus and Jupiter are separated by two other planets: Earth and Mars.
So, OP, there is no way Venus can get close enough to Jupiter to cause the reaction you're talking of.



Secondly, the Sun is made up of hydrogen gas (75%). And coming in contact with hydrogen gas from any other source will not have any negative effect on the reaction processes already going on in the Sun.

Thirdly, u said that the Sun, after the reactions will return to being a Red Giant. Meaning that the Sun is already a Red Giant. But that is very false. Our sun is not even a giant. Our sun is a dwarf. A Yellow Dwarf. And before the sun turns into a Red Giant, it will not dim to a bluish colour, like u said.
No.
The Sun will become hotter and even burn brighter than it is today and the Earth will become very hot (i.e. As hot as Venus is today). Then the Sun will double in size and metamorphose into a Red Giant. And this process takes a very long time. In fact, according to scientific calculations, the Sun will become a red giant about 5.4 billion years from now.

So, OP, stop posting Fake News.

First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -- Arthur Schopenhauer

Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye, a historian
who served as Nigeria’s ambassador to
the United States, has died in Washington,
DC, SaharaReporters just learned. Mr.
Adefuye died at a yet to be disclosed
hospital in the US, a source in the US told
our correspondent. Mr. Adefuye was
recalled to Nigeria after President
Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as
President. He was still waiting to hand
over to a new ambassador when he
suddenly died today.

A former professor of history, Mr. Adefuye was in
2010 appointed by former President Goodluck
Jonathan as Nigeria’s ambassador in the US. An
outspoken person and fierce defender of Nigeria,
the deceased diplomat tackled critics of Nigeria
in the US. He vociferously lobbied against
Nigeria’s classification as “a country of interest”
in America’s terrorism watch list.
Mr. Adefuye hailed from Ijebu-Igbo in 1947, and
studied at the University of Ibadan where he
earned his first degree in 1969 as well as a PhD
in history in 1973. He also received a Fulbright
Fellowship that enabled him to do research work
at Columbia University, the University of North
Florida, and the University of Florida in
Gainesville.
Ambassador Adefuye, who wrote several history
texts, taught at the University of Lagos, earning
a professorship and heading the History
Department 1985 to 1987.
Prior to his appointment to Nigeria’s Embassy in
Washington, DC, Mr. Adefuye served as his
country’s ambassador to Jamaica (where he
was concurrently accredited to Haiti and Belize)
from 1987 to 1991. In 1991, he was appointed
Nigeria’s Deputy High Commissioner in the U.K.,
leaving to work for fourteen years as a Deputy
Director at the Commonwealth. On leaving the
Commonwealth, the former professor accepted a
position as an advisor at the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Zonacom:
I did. My comment still stands.

Do u understand it? Or should I try and xplain it to u?

Zonacom:
Second Niger Bridge, the most publicized project for about 6 years now, sacrificed on the altar of politics.

Do u even bother to read d write up??

The immediate past Minister of Works,Mike
Onolememen, has debunked the widely reported
allegation by Edo State Governor, Adams
Oshiomhole, that N140 billion was expended on
consultancy services on the 2nd Niger Bridge
Project, and that there was nothing on ground to
show for the amount spent.
Onolememen, who refuted the allegation, accused
Oshiomhole of not getting his facts and figures
correct before his widely publicised statement.
The former Minister, who debunked the
allegations with photographs to back his claims,
explained that the 2nd Niger Bridge Project
was procured as a Public Private Partnership
under the Design, Build, Finance, Operate and
Transfer (DBFOT) model.
According to Onolemenmen, this arrangement
implies that the successful concessionaire, The
Julius Berger-Nigeria Sovereign Investment
Authority (JB-NSIA) Consortium, has the
responsibility for the design, finance and
construction of the project, as well as its
operation and maintenance for a period of 25
years.
In a statement he made available through his
media aide Tony Ikpasaja yesterday, the total
project cost is N108 billion (excluding Duties
and Value Added Tax), with a completion period
of about 48 months. The cost he disclosed was
arrived at after Bureau for Public Procurements’
review of the Concessionaire’s submitted cost of
N138 billion.
The Federal Government of Nigeria, he said, was
guided by the Transaction Adviser, Roughton
International while agreeing to provide a
refundable ‘Catalytic Funding’ of N30 Billion.
He also confirmed that the sum of N10 billion
Catalytic Funding was paid in May 2015 by the
Federal Ministry of Works’ SURE-P Budget
to fast-track the early and sub-structural works
of the bridge.
It would be recalled that former President
Goodluck Jonathan performed the ground
breaking ceremony on March 10, 2014 at the
project site in Delta State.
The Bridge located at about 2km downstream the
existing Niger Bridge in Onitsha has, according to
Onolemenmen, recorded impressive progress.
Onolemenmen also said that he is worried about
the intentions of Oshiomhole in misinforming
Nigerians on the true status of the Bridge.
He, however, disclosed that rather than give in to
what he refered to as ”misinformation and
sensationalism, the completion of the project, vis-
à-vis sustaining the interest of the international
investors that have signified interests in the
project should be paramount.”
He called on Oshiomhole to ”for the sake of our
collective national interest, tell Nigerians the
source of his information
about his alleged N140 billion consultancy cost
for a project with a total cost of N108 Billion.
As a senior public officer, it is expected that the
Governor would have crosschecked his facts
before jumping to make such wild and spurious
allegations. Otherwise, Governor Oshiomhole
should tender an unreserved apology to Nigerians
for misleading the public on [the state of]this
project.
