He doesn't wish to be a dull famous man rather a smart average man!

Fair enough, you answered well.
Was just pointing out to him that there are many people who dropped out of school at one level or another and are touching the lives of people better than him with all his certificates.

Tecnonews24:
I HAVE made up my mind to endure whatever buhari comes up with . expecting anything Good will only lead to more disappointment. I don't know why some people are complaining now. I don't know what they are expecting from a man without certificate.

No insult but Sir how has your certificate made you half as popular as PMB?

RickRichards:
We'll agree to it on the condition that Mikel stays on at Chelsea. Not just that; he must start every league game. By my calculations, that should increase the odds of Manchester United being crowned champions of the 2015/2016 Premier League season by 35%.

lol.
Almost fell off my chair

Smallville (This was long ago though. It always made sure the last episode was a cliff hanger to ensure you come for next season. By the first two episodes of next season, the issues are resolved and the remaining episodes just irk. Finally axed the thing.)

Taking advantage of falling oil prices, China is buying less from Nigeria and going for the cheaper heavier crude oils, leaving the country with the need to find new buyers. China is the world's second largest consumer of crude oil and now that the US is no longer purchasing Nigerian oil as it has moved to shale production, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has a huge vacuum to fill.

Then from Punch
http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/india-china-cut-crude-oil-imports-from-nigeria/
China, which bought 1.9 million barrels of Nigerian crude in October, reduced its import from the country by 50.3 per cent to 946,913 barrels in November.

Now it's not this month that China started reducing importing Nigerian crude. It started last year. If I remember correctly GEJ was in power last year. Quit blaming Buhari for this news and let's move on and focus on agriculture please.

First review your salary and allowance structure then I'd know you mean serious business

Please give me some time still especially police CR77

I don't care if he lives at Kafanchan.

Baba just start work, the work de very plenty.

odomanis:
How come it is only now that they don't like Nigerian crude again? When USA started their Shale oil production which led to their drop in patronising our crude,China became the biggest importer of Nigerian crude. That time,was their refinery in love with our crude only to reject same now? China overtook both USA and UK in business partnership with Nigeria before PMB emerged,we therefore expect PMB to give them some credit,a little recognition,instead of relegating them to the background and hobnobbing with the west. International politics must be played right by PMB in the interest of Nigeria else,our economy and people will suffer real hard.

themanderon:
Please if I may ask did they just realize that what we have here is light crude just a few days after buharis election? You people must learn not to believe everything you are told on face value, believe me something has happened behind the scene that you are not being told the result is what u are seeing.

Dollyak:
it's a bit of a common sense that African countries are not that important in global trades as much as every other continent. Most countries(esp Asia) now have most of the natural resources we depend on.

Thank you. Some people still think this is part of a vendetta against US. I see many conspiracy theories on this thread while it's a simple analysis especially in terms of African countries who like you said are not key players in global trade.

Sudan has many sanctions over them at the moment but Sudan produces most of the Gum arabic used in the world. Guess what, there is no sanction in buying gum arabic from Sudan.
As far as people need what you are selling and don't have alternatives they'd buy it.
China simply doesn't need Nigeria's crude that much anymore.

Let's pick up agriculture, everybody needs that.

appini:
Do you believe china just discovered that our oil is light crude?

Forgiveness is a sin in china.

I just put two links where you can check to see that India too has reduced the importation of Nigeria's crude oil
See this quote from one of the links "

India is also the largest buyer of Venezuelan crudes and with refineries getting more and more complex in the sub-continent, Indian demand for light sweet crudes is expected to tail off. The world’s largest refinery complex situated in Jamnagar in the western state of Gujarat in India, operated by Reliance, runs primarily on heavy crudes, dominated largely by oils from the Middle East and Latin America."

So are you going to also say India too hates US and so hate Nigeria? Please answer me this.

I'm not hating, just wondering.
Why do these chics act drama and cry like they weren't expecting the proposal

AhmedMustapha:
So they shouldn't protect their interests

You probably didn't follow my argument with others above. I meant everybody is protecting their interests. And the one interest everybody protects is money they earn. There is absolutely nothing wrong in protecting yourself.

Gabbysky:
Who is this dude? Are you a child?
Just the same way the US said they don't need our oil anymore cos they now have shale oil, yet they keep buying from the Saudis in Millions.
Wake up bro and start planting cocoa or cassava.
No more free meals for the monkeys

Yup another person who likes conspiracy theories. Let me ignore your "child" slur and respond to your post.
Each country does what earns it money. As for US-Saudi oil deal, look at this link
http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2014/11/07/u-s-saudi-arabia-oil/
A quick quote from the story
"Indeed, the Saudis are dropping their prices for oil exported to the United States so low that it’s cheaper for us to import foreign oil than use our own." The Saudis are willing to do this because they already have enough cash reserve and still want the world dependent on them for oil.
If you think it's solely because of gay-marriage that made US quit buying from Nigeria, How likely do you see Saudi-Arabia saying yes to gay rights. I agree that the gay-rights thing is also an emotional trigger that made US quit buying from Nigeria but people really need to understand it's simply because of money that many people do things.

atlwireles:
I prefer Chinese companies to come built the $13B Southern rail track with their workers, materials and funds. Than listen to some cheap promises from USA/UK.

I agree with you on this

atlwireles:
That's is not correct, China does not want their energy security to be dependent on a western stooge. Buhari has already signaled to be a puppet of USA/UK. China is just defending China.

First both crude are not similar, I just researched this now
Pazflor is a heavy, sweet crude with a current production rate of about 200,000 b/d. Its FPSO, which is operated by Total, is located
offshore Angola and is fed by one of the larger fields in Angola.
Plutonio is a medium, sweet crude with a similar daily production volume as Pazflor. It is operated by BP, from its FPSO also located
offshore Angola.

Angola produces heavy and medium which Chinese refineries like, Nigeria produces light which they don't really like.
Please let's deal with facts. It really isn't everything that has a conspiracy story attached. Some things are just plain black and white when it comes to earning money.

atlwireles:
China is buying more than 50% of Angolan crude, both products are almost the same. As we speak today, the President of Angola is in China for a $25B package. Keep waiting on Obama and Cameron , all you get are photo ups and a good handshake.

I really wish you'd read this link
http://news.yahoo.com/angolas-dos-santos-china-seeking-cash-ailing-economy-123805919--finance.html

It's much more than just buying crude. It involves chinese companies working on projects in Angola.
A quote from the link "Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos met Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Tuesday on a state visit to seek financing for projects, including a $4.5 billion hydropower scheme, intended to revive an economy hit by low crude prices."

I repeat every country is selfish and would not give you one thing without asking for something in return.

DickDastardly:
The message is that China wont be patronizing us and thats trouble. So what politics are you yapping about. APC and Buhari should better start shopping for replacement.

Definitely I agree Buhari should start shopping for replacement. The OP blamed the refusal to buy crude oil solely on Nigeria frolicking with the US. I just pointed out this is not true.

dlox147:
My friend they most come up with an excuse, just like USA sited human rights abuse for.not arming the Nigerian army when all that was cos they were no longer comfortable with GEJ .... Think

Now we are supposedly frolicking with the US, why don't they start buying our crude oil again na? The first and foremost thing for every country is to seek how to progress. The main reason China is ignoring our crude is because they don't need it that much again, simple and short.
In terms of global politics and Russia-Europe-China-USA relations, trust me Nigeria is virtually non-existent

It's a wonder this OP didn't even read his link
You just rushed to fish out the political side to just heat up things.

If you read the two quotes below in that article, you would have understood better. Nigeria's crude is light.

"China likes crude oil that is heavy and sweet, as it fits the appetite of its refineries that produce a lot of fuel oil to keep its industrial and manufacturing economy running, according to a data from the US Energy Information Administration, EIA."

"Consequently, China ignores Nigerian crude for now, as their demand for light sweet crude oil is very sparse."

Probably the way to win against a team Messi is playing on right now:
Sneak purge medicine into his drink before the game

I laughed at the part where OP said Mark Messi out.
Do you know how many people have tried to mark that man. Don't look too far back. Just go and watch Copa del rey final.

Some people deserve to be resurrected and killed more slowly
