The Adeleke's feed their LGA and about 3-4 LGAs in Osun state, neighbouring their own.The Adeleke's are quite people,a quite Dad including other siblings,if not for Davido,nobody will hear their noise. David's father is a billionaire since late 90's. A good friend of Dangote since late 80's, a major player with strong hold in Power sector, Properties then Oil and Gas

I have a complaint to make concerning one of your officers by name OLAGOKE WASIU OLAIDE.

I had a bike accident last week Thursday when I was returning from the ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja. A Lexus 470 hit me and the bike and it was not even on a one way. It happened at Pako Bus stop Isolo. The hausa bikemen rallied around the drunk driver and told him to take us to the hospital. This happened at exactly 10:46 18th Feb 2021 Thursday. The driver then drove us to Okota police station. On getting there, the said officer OLAGOKE OLAIDE WASIU collected the sum of 3K from the hit and run driver and allowed him to go that very night. He then seized my international passport having searched my bag and sent me out of the station. I came the following day with my sister to retrieve my passport and he told me I will pay for the wind shield of the mans glass that was broken by the hausa boys. I asked him who will pay for my hospital bills which he said wasn’t his business. To cut the story short, I sent 15K to the hit and run driver who was present on the meeting held on the 19th feb last week Friday and the officer gave me my passport and still extorted 2K from my sister

Presently I am on the verge of having my right leg amputated. The hospital results and X Rays examination is here. I am supposed to have my leg cut this evening but I want to reach out to the Police Force Complaint Unit first.

I called the officer today and he insulted my mother and told me to go to the commissioner of police and nothing will happen

This is his number +234 803 525 9579. This officer collected bribe of not up to 5k from a hit and run driver even when he saw my damaged and swollen leg and sent me away from the station at Mid night. my leg will be amputated today.

SavageResponse:
If you need proof that I have the money say so and I will show you an extract of the balance in my US$ dom account.

I can afford to wager that amount because I know you will never be able to prove the nonsense you're blabbing about!

Building a pipeline from Nigeria to Europe is akin to importing coal from South Africa to be used in Enugu when even a fo0l knows that Enugu is sitting on a huge coal deposit; only an idiot would embark on such a project.

I'm sure you're most likely an ignorant backroom technician or engineer in an oil installation somewhere who is not even in the decision making cadre but who wants to run his mouth by arguing blindly.

Let me tell you something, it's the financial guys like myself that determine whether a project in the oil sector gets done or not!

We do this by building financial models and risk heat maps etc to determine the economic viability of a project.


Analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors for an undersea pipeline from Nigeria to mainland Europe
- It costs an average of $200,000 to construct one mile of oil pipeline on land; that cost will triple if you want to do it underwater

- For each mile of oil pipeline depending on the diameter you need to have a compression station to pump the oil; an undersea pipleline of that length would require thousands of compression stations and each would would have to be powered with electricity supply.

- Crude oil is thick and viscous therefore you would need to heat it depending on the viscosity; under water this cost would more than triple because sea water is cold therefore you would need more heating capacity to keep the crude in a fluid state.

- The environmental impact of a ruptured under sea pipeline is more severe than that which happens on land

- It takes more time to determine where the actual leak happened, when tracing a leak time is of the essence

- Even when you and able to determine the leak and shut off the supply from the nearest valve or compression station the crude oil that is already in the pipeline alone would be enough to fill a super tanker of VLCC class due to the length of the pipeline; all this oil will leak into the ocean and the damage would be catastrophic.

- The world is gradually moving a way from fossil fuel to electric vehicles; a project of this scale would take at least 20 years to complete and by that time 80% of the cars in Europe would be electric powered.

- There are other factors which I have not included but which also have huge financial implications for the project

Cost
The sheer cost of this project alone is more than enough to build a fleet of at least 300 ULCC supertankers which is a better alternative to ferry crude from Nigeria to Europe.

Availability of crude in Europe
Europe already has oil in the North sea, Norway and Russia which are nearer therefore it is just plain foolish to want to run a pipe from Nigeria. Even if they want to run a pipeline it makes more sense to do it from the middle east which has the best grade sweet crude available in the market

OPEC quota
Another challenge is that Nigeria is a member of OPEC and has an allocated quota of crude. It does not make any economic sense to build a pipeline with an infinite capacity when you know that you have a quota which you cannot exceed. it means that once the pipeline is able to meet Nigeria's monthly quota in 3 or 4 days it will have to be shut down for the rest of the month resulting in underutilisation of installed capacity...how very wasteful!

Conclusion
Your plan of running a pipeline from Nigeria to Europe is just plain daft and stupid; whoever proposes such a foolish project should be shot in the head!!!
You have done a balance analysis of your view,your points raised are equally convincing atleast for a layman and an expert.
From your analysis,I can guess the IoC that you operate from.

Bros leave dat regret stori,part of your anger b say,u still one knack on top triplet and madam no gree u.
Now to d koko.
I understand you are on 55k but my advice is to set her up in business. 25k no go work for 5 people.
The woman needs to be stable to run a business,triplet no b joke o,some of us went through the journey of twins and we no as e b.
My advice,if you can get 50-55k for this month end,hand it to her,she will calm down a little then as a man seat her down outside your home (maybe chicken republic,buy promo rice of 600 naira with two coke,let the atmosphere be calm and talk to her, plead with her that situation of the country is not easy but you have plans and you are working hard. then look for anywhere you can raise 10k for your mum and another 15k for yourself to take care of your going to work and other runnings.
Honestly the woman is stressed and the triplet are burning her out, hence you need ALOT of wisdom, calmness, strength and focus to scale through this early stage, it's a stage in marriage that even those with plenty cash often don't scale through, You need to talk less and action more. Fighting and all the drama won't change nothing for you. Also learn to ask for help,I don't me beg for money o,I mean ask for job or any side hustle even here on nairaland,alot of people here already know your situation and am sure someone might help

For a start U can private chat me, I am willing to give a little financial support for the 50-55k that I mentioned.

This is not about polygamy, it's about wealth and one person wanting all to themselves.

It is too late. After the arrest and before I was charged she had actually gone to the police and made a statement saying she wanted to be no part of the prosecution (found this out during discovery/disclosure) but about 3 months later, she went back and said she wanted to support the prosecution.

My ex wife is/was not a bad person. She is totally into her new man so will do anything he says. He is the one pulling the strings. What kind of a man moves into a married woman's home when he was part of the reason the woman's husband was barred from the house?

I begged my ex wife, cried sent people she respects, pastor e.t.c. but no success. I can kind of understand he predicament though. She probably doesnt want to lose her new man. There are things that may come out during the trial that will very damaging for her but despite being aware of this she is determined to see it through.

I am past the worst and this trial and potential criminal record doesnt faze me. If I didnt kill myself in 2020 when I was at the lowest I have been as a human being, anything that befalls me now na moimoi.
