The Nigerian government will send its troops to Somalia for peacekeeping mission in early 2008. There will be one battalion from Burundi joining the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia and two battalions from Nigeria are expected within two months," said Nicolas Bwakira, the AU representative for Somalia.

This is the year 2023. Dear Op, I don't know if you're still alive or around, but Somalia is looking like one hell of a paradise compared to Nigeria 🥲

If there was no Nigeria, definitely your parents would never have met to conceive you, in order words without Nigeria, you wouldn’t have even existed in the first instance to support this nonsense illogical reasoning, in blaming Lord Frederick Lugard for your failure a 100 years after the officer of the British Empire had been deceased.

No wonder you are a failure in society, anyone with this myopic sense of reasoning must definitely be a Failure without any shadow of a doubt.

no disrespect, but I think your full name is DanBuroBa 🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂💔

Fraud Luggard. All the European Lords including the one worshipped by dumb African fellowsheeps and followsheeps are pure fraud.

don't forget that he had a drunk white lover, that Whöɍe called Fraudulent Shaw

Actually the fighters in BNL are from cross river state. It was later they contacted Ekpa to align with them after they've been operating for awhile cos they needed funds. I listened to it on one of his live broadcast cos Ekpa never knew of those group initially.

I'm not sure if Ekpa decided to fund them though. Maybe they are now getting funded by the sale of their crude in the black market.

well good for them. If Nigeria like, let them cede the whole of Cross River State to Ambazonia, they'll be shooting themselves on the foot

Sadwaste:


Obasanjo did Cross river people dirty. Are you aware that Cross river lost its right as a coastal/littoral state after Bakassi was ceded to Cameroun? They also lost their right as an oil producing state. Thus becoming a poor state. Calabar that was once a vibrant city is now a shadow of its former self.

Cross River is not poor. It's poorly managed

The real owners of Bakassi have come to reclaim their territory! Those from Cross River shouting "We are not Biafra" , you think you can get back Bakassi From either Cameroon or Ambazonia without Biafra being existent in the picture? If Biafra comes, we will get back Bakassi for sure. Any other ethnic nationality that wants to leave Biafra after its restored is more than welcomed to do so. Biafra will be a Confederation of ethnic nations, just like the UK. Anyone can join and anyone can leave. I know most people from Cross River still wish Bakassi could come back to Cross River State and it will in the coming years

How come I have never heard about this Ambazonian war except on Nairaland?

Who is fighting the war?

go to YouTube and Facebook and many other platforms, you'll see what's going on

Peacemaker5128:
una go kill him?

it's not the Biafrans that will handle him. It's the Ambazonian forces who don't like anything about Cameroon that's the issue here. Had it been that match was in Yaounde, no problem. But taking that match to Ambazonian territory and you know fully well that Amba forces are Anti Cameroon, that's the issue here. Samuel Eto is pro Cameroon and you would not want a group of angry Amba forces to invade that place where someone is promoting Cameroon on their soil. That's why the Ambazonian government sent a warning that they can not guarantee his safety as long as Samuel Eto is not a friend of Ambazonia. That's why

I think Okocha should back track. How about telling Eto to fix that match in Yaounde, instead of in Ambazonian territory? These Amba forces are more vile and ruthless, unlike the Biafran militants we have here. At least Cameroonian Gendarmes can confirm this. It's Amba forces that have been ambushing and killing La republique soldiers anyhow(that's why these soldiers resort to burning people's houses after being humiliated) so he should consider his safety first. Ambazonian territory is not like Southern Nigeria. That place is more dangerous than you think

@busy body where did u get such an info from, that people pple spend 30,000quid to abandon their country. Do u know what 30k quid is 7.5million naira.

this is the year 2023. £30,000 right now is about ₦45m now🥲🥲

Well if the people in this thread are still around/alive. It's the year 2023. The topic now should be, How on Earth can APC cease to exist?😒

$1000 back in 2013 was about ₦170,000.

Right now, it's over ₦1.1m! What a life! Hope those who bashed this thread are still alive

Hotice085:


Stop talking like an illiterate, the first licensed commercial minning Gold company in Nigeria is owned by a SS man
Do you know how long gold mining has been running in Nigeria before all you wannabes started shouting gold upandan
Plz shut ur mouth, Nigeria is run by cabals they don't care about you or their people only their interest

how many people from the South own Gold mine up north?

13 years later, he was right unfortunately

Rostikol:


I also believe that if Igbos are allowed to form a 'Biafra' that includes the south-south, it would be only a matter of time before they make war on the south-south to eliminate them and take over the oil and gas resources for IGBOS ALONE, which is the ENTIRE reason for their Biafra agitation, and why they will NEVER agree to leave with just their own 5 Igbo states.

They are thieves and criminals looking to loot Nigeria's wealth and run off into their ''land of the rising sun''.

That's why they never have a good word to say about Nigeria.

We're standing in their way.

Greedy, narcissistic, deluded idiots.

firstly, there are Igbo speaking parts of the South, if you would allow the Igbo people and their sub groups to go, then there won't be any problems.. so you think the ones in the East will agree to move without their brothers down south, so you'll come and kill them? Never!

Killerofpigs:
Where are those our Oyel zombies
Where are those N-Delta impersonators

IGBOs don't own any oil well, but you are so foolish to believe Propaganda from worthless yaribanzaaa media.

It's same Yaribaaa that killed Tinapa...but you are told IGBOs are your problem.

Now you see the Oyel well owners.

Good morning.

someone from North can own an oil well, but someone from South can't own a gold mine over there? This is sick!

spartachico:
Let’s stop the bigotry and focus on the judiciary.

Honestly I don’t see one person as Yoruba or Igbo or Hausa ,I see every as Nigerians and if Nigeria is to be divided do you think it’s gonna in two ,bro Nigeria can break into 5 countries if we continue having this act of bigotry

this is another Yugoslavia! Let them rip!

mariovito:
They had to take precautions before Nigerians storm the yard.

But why restrict your account if you have nothing to hide?

P.s. I see you all quoting me, name calling, being disrespectful and foaming in the mouth and doing the things you accuse Obidients of. I won't dignify you with a response.

A man who genuinely earned his academic credentials will be very excited to show the world without compulsion. Since, BAT has been found out to be a notorious serial documents forger and perjurer, he has been fighting ferociously to deny forgery and perjury are in his DNA. Shame!🤦🏻‍♂️

NNPC: Global Attack on Fossil Fuel Investment Will Continue to Worsen Energy Crisis

•$20bn spent on EPC, oil sector services in four years, says NCDMB

•Sylva optimistic about investments inflow


Ejiofor Alike in Lagos, Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja and Olusegun Samuel in Yenagoa

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited yesterday attributed the current global gas crisis to shortage of investments in the oil sector as activists, investors, and climate change advocates continue to mount pressure on banks and oil companies to withdraw funding for fossil fuel related projects.

NNPC said there might be no end in sight to the overheating of the oil market, which could even worsen if the required financing of major oil and gas projects continued to lag.


Speaking in Yenagoa during the 10th Practical Nigerian Content (PNC) Conference organised by Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), the Group Executive Director, Upstream, NNPC, Adokiye Tombomieye, urged Nigeria to look inwards for financing of major projects.

The event was attended by several industry and non-sector players, including the governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri; Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, who was represented by the Director, Human Resources Management, Dr. Famous Eseduwo; and the NCDMB Executive Secretary, Simbi Wabote.


Others at the event included Country Chair, Shell Nigeria, Osagie Okunbor; Group Managing Director, NNPC, Mele Kyari, who attended virtually; Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Petroleum Agency (NURPC), Mr Gbenga Komolafe; and several top shots in the oil and gas industry.

Tombomieye, who was represented by the Group General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) Bala Wunti, said there had been a downward spiral in investment in the oil and gas industry since 2000. But he stressed that with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) things would change from 2022.


Tagged, “Driving Nigerian Content in the New Dawn of the Petroleum Industry Act,” the NNPC top official, who spoke during one of the sessions, maintained that there was an on-going trend of upward movement in the industry.

“The reason is not far-fetched,” Tombomieye stated, adding, “We have seen the consequence of uncertainty in the industry. Investment and uncertainty never mix.”

Tombomieye explained, “Whether we go ahead with the energy transition or not we have already created a monster and that monster is that we now have finance activists, investment activists that have come into the space to create problems for energy investment.


“Energy investment is being attacked and will continue to be attacked in the fossil fuels industry. Investment capital is now very discriminatory against fossil fuels, but not only that, it has become more and more impatient.

“Everybody wants to invest today and recoup the money tomorrow. Nobody wants to invest that money for 10 years, but I need to let you know that the upstream space is not a day’s job. You will invest today and wait for 10 years. These issues have created an impediment to investment.”


According to the GED, the crunch on finance and investment has not created the new energy crisis across the globe, but has seen the prices of gas skyrocketing in the last few months.

However, he stated that the situation had also brought about significant opportunities for Nigeria, which would now have to look elsewhere to finance major projects.

He said, “If I’m not getting money from JP Morgan and I’m not getting money from Blackwell, if Shell is running away, where else will the money come from. And this is a challenge for the service contractors. We do know that there should be active collaborations by the service contractors.”


Tombomieye argued that though many players within the industry liked to cut corners, with the advent of the PIA, that would soon stop. He said major investments would start rolling in by 2022 as pending disputes are being resolved.

During the event, the NCDMB Executive Secretary, Wabote, formally signed a deal with Amal Technologies for the setting up a state-of-the-art factory to produce hardware, embedded systems, and other technological devices in Nigeria. He said the plant could produce as much as two million electricity meters.


Wabote stated, “The plant will produce smart gas/smoke detector alarm devices that monitor and detect smoke and all types of gas leakages (especially LPG), call the user’s mobile phone if the intensity of the gas is getting high, and automatically shut off the valve of the gas cylinder using Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence technology.”

On the board’s 10-year roadmap, Wabote said while there was a total of 96 initiatives, 56 were on track, 24 were on-going, 16 initiatives were not yet due, while overall, 75 per cent of the roadmap was on-track as at November 2021.


According to Wabote, “Five areas monitored for evaluation of Nigerian content are engineering, procurement, fabrication, project management, and services. Based on projects covered by our monitoring and evaluation directorate, a total of $20.4 billion was spent on these five categories between 2016 and 2020.

“The top three industries’ spend are $8.07 billion on fabrication, representing 39 per cent of spend; $4.74billion on engineering services, representing 23 per cent of spending, and $5.67 billion on procurement of manufactured materials representing 28 per cent of spend.


“The low spends were $1.18 billion on services, representing six per cent of spend, and $746 million on project management, representing four per cent of spend.”

In his remarks, Sylva called for closer collaboration among the various agencies of the ministry with implementation of the PIA about to come into force. He said the conference had continued to grow every year, adding that the NCDMB had consistently broken new grounds with the implementation of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act.


He enjoined the board to continue its upward trajectory and stay focused on the implementation of the Nigerian Content 10-Year Strategic Roadmap to grow Nigerian content to the targeted level of 70 per cent by 2027.

Wabote said, “Government expects that with the PIA now in place and supported by the enabling structures to ease doing business, new Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) should begin to happen rapidly in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.

“With over $42 billion worth of investment agreement signed by various Nigerian entities at the just concluded Intra African Trade Fair (IATF) in South Africa, there is strong optimism that so many new projects would soon commence in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.”


Komolafe, in his comments read by the Senior Technical Adviser NUPRC, Mr. Abel Nsa, said over a decade since the enactment of the NOGICD Act, so much had been achieved by the NCDMB over the years in the development of indigenous capacity. He said this had helped in stimulating the local economy and brought about the resurgence of new businesses, creation of jobs for the youth and unemployed, in addition to the retention of wealth in the country.

Shell Chair in Nigeria said the company in 2016 spent over N2 billion in the construction, upgrade and provision of equipment for the Nigerian Institute of Welding (NIW) in a bid to enhance welding technology in-country.


“With this investment, the institute is now able to perform destructive and non-destructive testing of materials in Nigeria,” he said.

Diri urged the stakeholders to create “local contentment”, to foster a conducive environment for the operations of the oil companies.

Shell MD, Okunbor Urges Nigeria to Optimise Energy Resources

Okunbor said Nigeria should adopt a two-pronged strategy for its energy transition programme in response to global calls for reduction in the exploitation of fossil fuels and production of Green House Gases (GHG).


Okunbor spoke while delivering the 51st Founders’ Day Lecture of the University of Benin, titled, “The Global Energy Transition and The Imperatives for Nigeria.” He called for an urgent optimisation of Nigeria’s energy resources for speedy economic and industrial development of the country.

He said, “Nigeria has gas in abundance – around 202 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves and about 600 trillion cubic feet of unproven reserves. Harnessing these vast gas resources, and on time too, is key in the next decade of Nigeria’s existence.”


According to him, the second approach for Nigeria’s successful energy transition would be an intentional growth of the off-grid power and renewables industry taking advantage of foreign financial support and technology transfer.

Okunbor stated, “The on-going energy transition is here with us. As with other transitions, it is a journey that will involve multiple approaches, collective action and undoubtedly present new challenges and opportunities.

“Nigeria is well positioned to ride the wave of the current energy transition with its abundance of natural fossil fuels and renewable solar energy. We need to move with a greater sense of urgency and a clear sense of direction.”


Okunbor, who is also the Managing Director of The Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC), said, “Nigeria, as a country with abundant natural fossil fuel resources, cannot afford for international and multilateral agencies to stop funding the development of fossil fuels, particularly gas projects.

“The transition is underway,” Okunbor said, “but it will move at different paces and produce different outcomes in different countries, depending on local factors. Society, as a whole, faces a dual challenge to transition to a low-carbon energy future, dealing with how to manage the risk of climate change, while also extending the benefits of energy to everyone on the planet. This is a challenge that requires changes in the way energy is produced, used and made accessible to people.”


Despite the efforts at decarbonisation, Okunbor said oil and gas would remain in the energy mix for some decades to come. He said, “This is partly a consequence of the time needed for renewables to reach the necessary level of materiality. In part, it is also a consequence of the lack of substitution options in some parts of the economy. But the world will need to meet its energy needs at the same time as it tackles climate change.”

He noted that to make the federal government’s ”Decade of Gas” agenda a success, the country would need to unlock the domestic gas-to-power value chain; accelerate infrastructure development; drive gas-based industrialisation; and deepen domestic liquefied petroleum gas penetration.

Chummynoni:
it is a nice thing preaching about sexual chastity, but talk about what you are so sure of please. I disvirgined my girlfriend now wife more than 8 years ago before marrying her few months ago, and I never for once disrespected her while dating, not to talk of now while married. This life is a mystery, some ladies that have fvcked all deek and Harry are fortunate to meet a good man, while someone that marries a virgin is being maltreated by her husband. That is life, it is all about luck
