Fortunately your opinion doesn't count!

Mine counts, but yours doesn't because our 10% is already giving us hundreds of thousands of jobs

The best and the largest refinery in Nigeria, in Africa and the world

The largest petroleum products plant in sub Africa

The largest fertilizer plant in Nigeria

The largest Gas plant in Sub Africa

1,100km sub sea gas pipeline

And the best part is it's costing us only 10% of our forex...


You see, your silly and irrelevant anti Nigerian ipob sentiments doesn't count and never will..

OfBiafra:
Hausa's refer to themselves as Arewa constantly e.g. AYC

Yoruba's do the same with Oduduwa e.g. OPC

And the Igbo's - Biafra.

There is no identity crisis here.

The only crisis is tin an unworkable Nigeria. Where criminals, e.g. Fashola, are political heroes.

We Biafrans want out and make no pretence of it.

I don't remember Yoruba and Hausa people forming ipobs carrying terrorist flags around and terrorists groups trying to destabilize and break away from Nigeria ..

Like I said, worry about your ipob nonsense..

Why should he be encouraged to monopolise our common patrimony? Is it to thank him for the hundreds of people his blood thirsty drivers kill on our roads?

What monopoly are you crying over?


The FG gave out refinery licences to tons of entities so the question is how many of them made use of the licenses?


You tried to build a refinery and the FG denied you?


You people just argue and spew rubbish with zero thoughts and sense..

revolt:
Woow!! Ok how about not giving 10 percent of your scarce forex and radically pushing for the PIBs quick passage, that way FG gets to not just save her forex, but also allow for loads of investors, that will come in with their funds and build their refineries. NOTE I ddnt say REFINERY! Atleast the sector becomes competitive, price mechanisms come into play and the govt make loads of cash from taxation. All these without spending a dime. You are finished, if u can't reason along this path.

Dangote is going to be a monopoly.

Apples and Oranges analogy and totally irrelevant comparison..


1. Solving nearly all our problems and create hundreds of thousands of jobs with 10% is prudent and just 10% of 100% so what's the headache when we are not talking about 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or even 100%?

2. Do we still not have 80% left to go around?


Please find something better to cry over...

Sadly, I'm still an Nigerian (although against my will ) and that gives me the right to comment on Nigerian matters.

As a Nigerian (although under duress ) I simply called out another crook within our political class of criminals.

Even the best of a bad bunch may be below average.

Plus, I think you are taking this entire conversation rather personally and I cannot match that with my passive interest in the matter.

So, I'll leave you be.

Don't get mad, just highlighted what's shaping your irrational and illogical arguments.

Common sense should tell you that with low reserves, you prioritize based on strict national, economic and interets that solves your practical and imediate problems.


Giving 10% of your forext to eradicate completely solve the fuel problems you'e been unable to take care of for decades and still have many more left to export for the same foreign exchange is a good and huge bargain.

Giving 10% of your forext to eradicate completely the petroleum products problems you'e been unable to take care of for decades and still have many more left to export for the same foreign exchange is a good and huge bargain.

Giving 10% of your forext to eradicate completely the fertilizer problems you'e been unable to take care of for decades and still have many more left to export for the same foreign exchange is a good and huge bargain.

Giving 10% of your forext to eradicate completely the GAS problems you'e been unable to take care of for decades and still have many more left to export for the same foreign exchange is a good and huge bargain.


Giving 10% of your forext to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and in the same process sole multiple problems is a good and huge bargain.

Your problem is shortsightedness and a serious case of penn wise, pound foolish mentality..

OfBiafra:
It may help if you read my first post again. I did not challenge the signing.

What I highlighted, when I quoted you, was that Fashola, like other politicians, was in the habit of signing grand agreements with no results afterwards.

But alas, your blind love for Fashola has impacted your comprehension.

In any-case, enjoy your flag offs in darkness.

OfBiafra

You brought up and discredited solar programs in Lagos to discredit and challenge my comments about 14 new solar power plants agreement singed by Fashola at the federal level. PERIOD. Unless you did that for pointless, meaningless and absent minded reasons.


Fashola have singed tons of contracts and achieved so much in return that he remains the most accomplished leader in the history of Nigeria. Let me know if you need facts because I have a whole lot to kill you with.

Bringing up irrelevant arguments that has nothing to do with what you are arguing against means you are void of any capacity to read and comprehend what you read so go back to elementary school to lean how to read and comprehend simple English words..

I don't even know why an ipob and biafrud is killing himself over Nigerian issue?

Cypost:
@bolded
The same way others are completing theirs. case close !

Who are the others? You mind listing them and also explain to us how they asked for foreign exchange and was denied...?

OfBiafra:
I never challenged your comment concerning the signing. Actually I believe an agreement was signed.

My point was that these sort of agreements have been signed before by this same crook with no results to show for it.

However in your haste to defend your political icon, you misconstrued my argument.

So, I'll make myself even clearer so you do not get it twisted.

Fashola, like EVERY other Nigeria politician, is a crook and a thief.

Its no coincidence that they are the richest class of Nigerians. They simply sign these agreements to get richer.

Crooks and thieves, the lot of them.

I hope you get it now?

OfBiafra.

1. You challenged my comments hence you still talking about other irrelevant nonsense that has nothing to do with my comment about 14 new power plants. You brought up solar programs in Lagos state, I did not so stop lying.

2. There is a clear difference between Solar programs in schools and clinics in Lagos state and federal power infrastructure contracts so where is the connection or the meaning of your apple and orange, pointless and illogical argument?

3. Have you visited the schools and clinics with the solar program in Lagos state before making your baseless comments about their functionality? Of course you haven't, just ignorant and baseless rant.

4. Your views about politicians in Nigeria is your opinion and I'm not interested in such nonsense so you are on your own..


If you can not dispute my initial comment about 14 new power plants, please keep quiet and go away..

you guys don't travel outside the west and uk,so u decieve urselves.. I can guarantee that aside lagos, there's no part fof the west that's more developed than the east.not forgetting there was a brutal war across the niger.

Good for us we know what's driving and behind your anti Nigerian and illogical rants..

Beats me why you keep boring us with your illogical and irrational rants when we in fact we know that you are ipob, anti Nigerian and what's best for Nigeria is bad news to you.

OfBiafra:
Your stupidity is outstanding.

Do schools and clinics in Lagos have regular power supply as we speak?

Yet Fashola (Lagos governor) flagged off solar power then. And now, Fashola (super minister) flags off solar power for Nigerians.

Its only a fool that repeats the same action and expects a different result.

Fashola was a crook then and still a crook now. This solar power crap was a ruse then and still a ruse now.

Its your choice to remain a fool. However I expect the same result - Darkness.

I'm not interested in your pointless nonsense...If you want to discuss solar power in lagos schools and clinics, start your own thread and I'll meet you there with facts, but this is about you ignorantly challenging my comments that Fashola singed agreements for 14 new solar power plants..


Does the unintelligent rubbish you keep derailing with means Fashlola did not sign agreements for 14 new solar power plants like I stated?

Did he sign agreements for 14 new power plants? Yes or nO?

You approached the CBN for funds to invest and was denied? Abeg keep quiet with your bigoted rant...

The Nigerians with enough money and capacity to invest and create jobs like Dangote have refused to do so because they are too scared to openly spend their looted funds and since it's only Dangote who is bold enough to do something, then he should be given preferential allowance to succeed.


He is building the largest refinery in Africa to eradicate our fuel problems once and for all with many left over to export for foreign exchange so is fertilizer, gas and petrochemicals..

It is very prudent and justified to make sure he has all the funds needed to see his projects through and it's also in our economic and national interest..

What economy?

The one built on corruption, looting and sharing that finally crashed under the weight of the same corruption?

The same economy that Jona was borrowing billions under every year to pay salaries?

The same economy Jona told us was about to crumble and warned us to be ready for pain and suffering in 2014 when oil was selling for $80?

Nigeria's economy was poo, the banks existed based on corruption and lodgement of stolen funds and TSA money, foreign reserves was drained, infrastructure was trash, darkness existed from PDP's day one till they were kicked out by Nigerians..

You jokers must think we are dumb, clueless and have zero clue what happened and how we get here....

Who doesn't know that Fashola is the Super Minister with three large portfolios - Power, Works & Housing? Any well educated person would know that I meant since he couldn't do anything about Power, he has abandoned that to face Works which he'll most likely not be able to handle too.
The problem here is your taking everything so literally due to your poor grasp of the English language.

lol @ grasp of the English language. after ignorantly asking why the works minister was talking about roads?

Smart you are not ..

16 years of PDP and looted $20 billion power funds and 55 years of Nigerian as a country couldn't give us stable electricity even after Jona your uncle sold our power infrastructures to his cronies, but Fashola after barely 1 year in office without all the PDP looted funds can give you stable power...


Let me educate you since you are used to ignorance...

Under Fashola and first time in the history of Nigeria, we generated over 5000MW last February, something your PDP uncles with all their looted funds couldn't do in 16 years...


Barely a year in office, Fashola singed agreements to build 14 solar power plants, something your PDP uncles with all their looted funds couldn't do in 16 years...


Abeg stop boring us with your elementary school rant...

It's not rocket science, but unfortunately for you and your unintelligent rant, 16 years of PDP, Jona and hundreds of billions of dollars looted and shared couldn't rescue our roads, bridges, thousands of abandoned projects or even rescue us from darkness after embezzling and sharing $20 billion power funds..

With Huge Gas Reserves of 650bcf, Lagos Joins Oil Producing States

Of greater significance also is the disclosure that the oil field holds untapped reserves of about 650 billion cubic feet (bcf), which if harnessed in two to three years’ time, according to a company source, could supply Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, all the gas feedstock it needs for the thermal power stations and other manufacturing concerns domiciled in the state and its environs.

The much anticipated first ever crude oil export cargo from the Aje field, offshore Lagos, will be shipped to the United Kingdom in September.
Following the commencement of the first oil production at the Aje field in May 2016, Panoro Energy, the London-based energy firm in partnership with operator Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company Limited (YFP), announced in July that the first crude oil lifting for export from the Aje field would begin by the end of August.

The company, while announcing its second quarter 2016 results and operations updates on Tuesday, however said it expected to sell the first cargo of Aje crude during September and that Glencore Energy UK Limited had been selected for its offtake.
The firm confirmed that Nigerian regulators recently officially approved production and the export sale from Aje.
It said in the update that the average gross daily production at Aje as calculated from May to mid-August was 5,500 barrels of oil per day (bopd), which included the entire testing, commissioning, and approval period completed in mid-July.
Commenting on the results and update, the CEO of Panoro Energy, John Hamilton, said achieving oil production at Aje in the second quarter was a milestone for the company.
“We expect to sell our first cargo of oil during September, representing the start of positive cash inflows from the Aje project.
“Realising the full potential at Aje is the key priority for the company and we remain focussed on moving the Dussafu project forward in Gabon,” he said.
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode had in May announced that Lagos had officially joined the League of Oil Producing States in Nigeria following the discovery of crude oil by YFP in the state.

https://cdn.guardian.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Ekweremadu.jpg
Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu

A move is underway by leaders of the southeast geopolitical zone to forge economic integration and reposition the region for development.The initiative will have five governors and an array of prominent Igbo leaders from religious, economic, educational and political platforms rubbing minds together to tackle decrepit infrastructure and leadership void in the region.

Under the aegis of South East Leadership and Development Initiative (SELDI), the move stems from “a near state of hopeless that has befallen the southeast since the end of the Civil War and in particular, since 1999, when the present democratic experience took off.”

The leaders, it was learnt, reviewed the state of the zone in the past 17 years and concluded: “The present democratic dispensation has not helped the area.”Besides governors of the region, the initiative is also being driven by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu; former Commonwealth Secretary General, Emeka Anayoku; former Ministers Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Prof. Charles Soludo, and Prof. Barth Nnaji.

Other include Dr Idika Kalu Idika, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Prof. Pat Utomi, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Prof. Pita Ejiofor, Prof. Elo Amucheazi, Rear Admiral Ebitu Ukiwe (rtd), Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), former Governor Peter Obi, Dr Orji Kalu, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Prof. Philip Emeagwali, and author, Chimamanda Adichie.

A source told The Guardian: “The assumption that the Federal Government should play a leading role in reactivating the moribund infrastructure that stares the zone in the face is the greatest undoing of the region.”

If you look at it, critically, you will know that over 80 per cent of our active youths have remained without jobs, thus wasting their productive age. If we have the quantum of investments that have remained moribund working, we won’t have the level of unemployment existing in the southeast.”

A document obtained exclusively by The Guardian said SELDI “is dedicated to transforming and fostering the development of Nigeria, especially the southeast region, focusing on leadership development in order to change the fortunes of the people, and giving hope to present and future generations. SELDI is the response to the developmental gaps and challenges that confronted the southeast after the Civil War, which devastated the region.”

Alphaoscar:
I am not moving any post bro but just trying to measure their performance from your own perspective.


You believed Fashola is the best among the two simply because he built more infrastructures than Tinubu but you failed to consider the volume of money available to each of them. The government with more money is expected to build more infrastructures.


The least budget under Tinubu's regime was #14b (1999) while the least under Fashola was #389b (2010)


The highest budget under Tinubu was #240b (2007 with Fashola) whereas Fashola budgeted #489b for three consecutive years.


The difference is very very huge and you can't expect the same regime to deliver equal amount of infrastructures.

There you go again with another pillar to post argument..

I stated already that they all did great regardless their situations while in office so what's the meaning of the new argument about who has this or that money?


I also pointed out that same way Fashola had more money than Tinubu, Ambode in his first year already budgeted N100 billion more than Fashola so it's safe to expect him to do better than Fashola

No regime is the same and government is continuum.

The only thing sane, rational and progressive people hope and pray for is for the next governor to be better than the last governor, not for the last to be better than the next.

Lagos is moving forward so abeg move forward..
