Its a pity you are the certified dullard here with a badge of honour. A consuming economy like Nigeria cannot borrow her way to prosperity only a producing economy does that and come out prosperous.....yes Fayose is right.... Do you understand now?

How do you go from a consuming economy to a producing economy without borrowing?

Someone who borrows to pay salaries is talking about economics?

Specialist900:
It is my fault then. These people need to start taking responsibility for their actions.

Can you read?

Actually, I think Buhari will hit 10,000MW.
The NLC guy made so many assumptions which are wrong.
1) The total installed capacity in Nigeria is about 7500MW (2014 data) which leaves a short fall of 2500MW. Now you don't have to build large power plants, you can build lots of small ones.
2) The guy assumes all generated power must pass through the National grid, which is false. I know for a fact that Sahara has taken unit 6 off the National grid and is supplying IKeja Disco which they own directly. That's the way forward with power in Nigeria.

I agree, it's gon' be hard to take their "feeder" and say goodbye.

The cabals need to be re-integrated into the future plans of the gov't; not by bringing in products, but by going into PPP on some government owned facilities like depots, refineries, and pipelines.
Either way, they won't have a choice by the time Dangote's refinery starts running.

If Singapore (5 million population) with little or no oil, refines over 1 milion barrels/day, and Japan with all the earthquakes and tsunamis refines over 4.5million barrels/day, then we have a problem -- I mean, we should be refining all the 2.2 million barrels that we produce and more -- exporting refined products only.

No, we can't even refine a third of the 445,000 barrels that's allocated to NNPC daily -- we threw our country, our lives, our future, our kids future, our prosperity to the dogs (the cabals), we let them own this country and dictate at will, we then go to church to pray for prosperity by proxy a la 'miracles' . . . LoL.

Can you imagine Mobil has a 592,000 barrels/day nameplate refinery in Singapore, what do they have in Nigeria?

So I just watch the Kachikwu video were he was talking about tying upstream to the down stream...
I guessed as much when I saw Mobil buying filling stations.
That's one way to reduce government forex spending. It's actually the best bet at this point.

I believe this is the direction Kachikwu is heading. In recent times, Mobil has been buying up filling stations so I believe Kachikwu wants the oil majors to be players in the downstream sector.

As for the cabal, it would be hard for them to change because it means no more free money.

989900:
You know the economic situation in the country since the mid 80s has taken it's toll on our populace (education-wise), churning out literate-illiterates, unemployable grads, and intellectual midgets (with knack for inanities like Toyin A, Tonto D, and e.t.c) with 'too long can't read syndrome'.

Our older uncles and aunts with the old 'standard 6' and 'modern 3' are more studious, literate, and civil than this new lot.

Great post, you are probably my favourite poster on here for now.

As for importing petroleum products, a whole industry that includes a cabal has been built around that, it would be very very hard to achieve what you are proposing.
I also believes Kachikwu knows this and that's part of what is causing the present fuel crisis.

I really don't know about our swap deals but we should be able to get PMS for crude without having to pay( transportation excluded though)

U are a fool and probably one of the dullest zombie from the north!!! Rubbish

Yeah right.....

ORIGENAL:
Are u in Togo?

Where is that?

NLC should find something better to do.
You want electricity but don't want to pay for it?

Only in Nigeria.

onatisi:
Dont mind fashola ,now he realizes that managing the power ministry alone for the whole nation is more tasking and demanding than governing the whole of Lagos state. The challenges of the power sector has completely overwhelmed him.

Do you seriously believe what you just wrote?

Lots of people blowing hot air on this thread.

1) Its not against the law to have offshore accounts
2) Danjuma is not an elected official (I don't believe he has contested for any post) so the CCB can't try him.
3) I don't know about Military rules and registering companies, and even if that is illegal, its left for the military to "try" him.

bolabolabo:
na hin market nau,

if dey wants to sell, fine.

If dey dont wanna sell, still fine.

abi do dey arrest fish sellers whenever they refuse to sell their fish ni

Rubbish.

Seriously?
Can you wake up tomorrow and start your own filling station?

coolscott:
[size=13pt]What you say here does not make sense because the bill itself is about no other people but the Fulani people who rear cattle.
Not other Nigerians.
Not even all Fulanis.
It is specifically about only Fulanis who raise cattle and therefore need to graze them[/size]

stonemason

What is stopping you from grazing?

PROVACATEUR:
Liar.my friend in Laspotech area is groaning also. Osun should be in the North with their almajirilike behavior

You can believe what ever you want, it doesn't change the truth.

You are asking for a chance for a party that has been in power for the last 16 years while berating a party that has been power for less than a year?
Seriously?

PROVACATEUR:
plz tell ne tge area in Lagos lemma prove you wrong

Ikorodu area. more than 20 hours.
Osun state also has close to 20hrs or more because of NCC. Anybody who served in Osun can testify.

Unless the is a specific section of the bill that says only Fulani people can herd animals then you are just saying rubbish.

How much is a plot of land in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Ethopia.

Those are non-compass directional systems, which we obviously don't go by, as evident from our cardinal references usually used, e.g SouthWest (SW), South East (SE), North (N) and so on...

So if you are going to stick to a system with a standard, why then deviate from said standard when it doesn't suit your warped intentions?

Yes, in the U.S they may refer to areas using the coast as a reference, but as I said earlier, that is a non-compass directional system, which obviously we haven't mainly adopted, else we'd also be using terms like west/north/south/east of the niger more commonly.

However, you and I both know that when in Nigeria, using the cardinal system we've adopted and someone mentions the SW or the SE, we immediately know the area they are referring to. Sadly the same can be said for the SS, but again I ask what is SS in a compas cardianal system, which we have adopted?

Dude, you have no point here please, psss South South Doesn't that sound like the makings of an illiterate

Even google knows not about any "South South", just suffering and smiling Nigerians, mtcheew

Like i said earlier, south south is a reference to south central, its called North Central in Nigeria..
The standards are set by the authorities involved, not Geography. The cardinal system has 4 ( 5 depending on the system you adopt) points but in the world today, people call the Arab area, the middle east (can you show me that in the cardinal system)? There are also places described as Far East but that would not be taught in any Geography class.

As for the bold, when you say SS, everyone knows which region you refer to. That's the reason why some people use it interchangeably with "Niger delta".

The government of Nigeria decides which part belongs where and not you.

kYjelly2:
If you don't mind me asking, can you explain to me exactly what you mean by SS (South South)?

When you did cardinal points in geography throughout you school years, did you ever come across such nomenclature?

How come Nigerians never mention such acronyms as NN (North North), WW (West West) or EE (East East)?

However, when it comes to the oil region with is clearly located in the SE (according to the world renowned cardinal system), you guys then begin to conjure up such things as South South.

What really is South South?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself and if you indeed attended anytype of school, then you ought to be doubly ashamed of yourself.

South South is the same as South Central. Its called the North central.
Cardinal points are not fixed, you can decide what parts to use and what not. E.g the US is mainly divided between the East Coast and the West Coast, there's no North coast.
There's Weste rn Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Europe.

Stop displaying your stupidity on the internet and get an education.

We can't take this... You mean upon all the effort TonyeBarcanista spends on writing rubbish he doesn't get a look-in?

Amadioha must here this.

Saying the Naira should be devalued just proves that Fayose talks for talking sake.

What's the role of being the vice president in Africa? Anybody irrespective of your discipline can fit into that role.

A lawyer can be head of an Oil company but cannot be a minister of Petroleum or power? What do you think is the work of a minister?

butanep:
Go and check key position they have held over the years if it's ralated to their portfolio or not...

Use ur Google very well boy.

The UK minister of energy worked in finance before government, nothing related to energy.
The Chinese minister was a lecturer in political theory before politics
The Russian minister worked in finance, he was even deputy minister of finance in Russia.

What else?

butanep:
I don't quote people that can't reason. What was kachikwu role in mobile? Ask yourself that question?

Executive vice chairman Exxon Mobil Africa. The head of Mobil in Africa.
Oh the Russian minister of energy studied Economics and Management, the Chinese own studied political theory, the UK minister studied history and the French's minister of energy also studied an art related course.

butanep:
Keep deceiving yourself. Go and see what is obtainable in foreign countries.

Google the ministers I Russian, US and China, then see their portfolio and their discipline if it is related or not...

Why did agriculture have a boom during GEJ time, check the minister career path?

Current minister of health in the US studied government and economies.
Current minister of energy in Russia studied economics and management.
The Director of the National Energy Administration (the Chinese minister of energy) studied political theory.


You better use Google before you say what you don't know.

butanep:
@ bolded... when you give key position based on sentiment rather than merit or technicality, you keep having problems. I said it before, fashola can't do anything meaningful in the power sector. Give that position to a competent engineer and see the difference. It will be so clear.

The same thing is what is happening in petroleum sector. Imagine a lawyer managing NNPC and also minister of petroleum. What does a lawyer know about generation, migration and storage of hydrocarbons or what does he know about the technicality of a refinery?

This government is really dull.

You are clueless.
Kachikwu was heading Mobil West Africa, I guess it was sentiments that go him that job.
By the way, energy minister in the UK studied history or political science (can't remember). The French minister of energy also studied an art related course, same at the minister of health in the UK.
A minister job is administration not technical.

Dull people calling others dull.

Trump would be the first President of the US to be impeached if he ever gets there which I highly doubt though.

On another note, it would be nice for Trump to win. Americans need a reality check.

I hope Ambode has collected a copy or is drafting his own law?

Those churches that disturb me on Friday night need to be closed down. Also those idi.ots that start preaching with megaphones need to be arrested.

Devaluation favours foreigners but not Nigerians.
