The alpha male is not a macho man. He is one, in whom the male and female energies are harmoniously balanced. The male who is strong, yet kind. Confident, but humble. Powerful, but tempered and calm. Firm, yet highly flexible.

Sometimes, a better way of showing how powerful you're is by not showing it (at least, in the manner expected of you).

Nkakat 001! I happy for you

Nothing indefensible here, you played the ethnic card by saying the aviation ministers neglected the airport.
I corrected that notion, by letting you know that the decision was above their pay grade.
And making it clear that the airport status as international only came to fruition under GEJ.
The neglect is still there cause even after over a year of closure it is not complete.
Abuja took 3 months for a runway expansion and terminal, Kaduna took less.

you've still not answered my question

With the condition that the appellant(s) have to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubts in all the polling units, it makes upturning a declared election result a Herculean task. And this is the major reason politicians do all to be declared winner.

eaglechild:
But who was president?
Or do you think the minister has the sole power to convert an airport to international?
Who will fund the project?
Stop and think objectively.

The airport got its first ever runway expansion to take wide bodied aircraft and automatic ILS, under GEJ with Stella Oduah as minister hence its conversion to international.
She started the international terminal building up to 50% completion,which has not seen a single brick laid on it since 2015.

This is a runway refurbishment which should actually be routine for every airport periodically, it was only done because ET cried out.

Even though it took over 365 days its is still incomplete, recall that Abuja which is much bigger took only 3 months for a fresh runway, terminal and Kaduna even took shorter to complete the refurbishment.

You're just trying to defend the indefensible. Let me ask you this: If this PMB (APC) led govt (having a northerner as Aviation minister) hasn't found it necessary to give that airport a facelift, who would you blame for the neglect and dilapidation of the Enugu Airport?

As a matter of urgency, Nigeria needs to revisit her foreign policy/international relations strategy. We need to present an Abacha-like or Trump-like foreign policy outlook.

But Kema Chikwe, Fidelia Njeze, Stella Oduah, Osita Chidoka were Ministers of Aviation between 1999 - 2015. Do South Easterners still require an oracle to tell who their enemies are?

Good job. Someone is sitting in a shade today because someone planted a tree long time ago.

Throwback:
Business is all about contract.

And every detail should be documented - in black and white.

"A so-called opposition party that keeps outsourcing its role to activists shouldn't be taken seriously.

When the contentious CAMA was passed, where were PDP lawmakers? NASS is planning to pass anti-social media bill, what are opposition caucuses in both Houses doing to stop it?

President Buhari has been borrowing money recklessly, what has members of the opposition done about it? A serious opposition can truncate government policies in parliament, even though it is in the minority. There are ways of doing this, including filibustering, walk out, etc.

No opposition party is more useless than PDP. Actually, PDP is not an opposition party. It is just a group of people who are waiting for another opportunity to resume looting at the federal level. You accuse Ganduje of playing politics of religion, how about the Zamfara governor?
A party that lost a national election should have made spirited efforts to win the sympathy of the people. But their members and supporters are busy insulting people for voting Buhari instead of their candidates which they consider to be lesser evils. Is that how to win election?

Since 2015, what has the PDP as a political party done differently from the APC in States under their control? Which PDP governor has complied with FOI requests? Which PDP controlled State has organized credible local government elections? What are they doing differently?

The corruption of the APC does not justify the rotteness of the PDP. Both parties are one and the same. The way they decamp so easily and exchange candidates buttresses this fact. They don't hate the stealing in Aso Rock, they hate the fact that they're not the ones stealing."

Just like Christ, he got signalled that the hour has come. When ours too come/approach, we'll definitely be signalled. Nothing happens to us without a prior notice/hint.

There is this unexplainable joy and peace that accompanies this period. You'll usually want to share it around, have a wonderful last impression and bow out on a happy note.

People need to understand that birth calls for no special joy, nor does death denote any special sorrow.

I feel if the guy truly loves you:
1. he'd have looked for a way to dismiss the girl without letting you know of her or the visit.
2. he'll allow you still visit (even with the girl around) him. This will be to show you that nothing dey sup between them.

However, guys do stupid things when in love. So don't conclude yet that he doesn't love you. Keep it cool on your side. So far, you're doing a good job.

This is similar to asking a 30 years old lady who she'll date/marry between a handsome 30-35 years old struggling young guy, and a 40-45 years old established man.

PYO is intelligent, younger and appears smarter, but will lack the political will and depth to deliver as President.

Its very easy to throw jabs at people, but taking one becomes a problem. I'm very disappointed at that journalist. All that "sorry sir" were totally unnecessary and highly demeaning. He should have kept mute and stood his grounds.

Same FFK and his friends - Reno, Deji and co - that keep attacking and asking PMB very stupid questions, yet he couldn't take one.

You are a good writer. I really like how you colour words

am aware time bomb is been poorly refractorted in the creeks ...without chemist on ground to take flash points but some ogogoro drinking boys thing organic chemistry and hydrocarbon na play .....abi chemist no worry to explain

You call someone skilled in the art of fractional distillation an "ogogoro drinking boy"? Those guys are very skilled and highly literate.

CAN and some of its members should get sound legal counsel and interpretation of CAMA 2020.

ahiboilandgas:
refinery tends to be profitable from 100 thousand barrels daily... smaller refinery can only produce deseal and the grade can compet with the one from real refinery.....grade (density)

.

Are you aware that quality PMS is illegally refined in the creeks in Niger Delta? If this can be done illegally, why not also legally?

sonnie10:
The first question an investor would consider is, what is the closest alternative? Import of refined products or alternative energy source (like electric vehicles) are the only two businesses that could compete with or hinder the market shares of a modular refinery.
Now, compare the economic value of these alternatives, considering availability and sustainability of each and you will have the answer. What advantage does modular refinery have over others.

Well, refining locally will definitely be cheaper, because transportation and other logistics involved in importation will be greatly reduced. On alternative source of energy, I don't think Nigeria is ready for that. Remember that Ben Murray Bruce present a bill on this, and the House overwhelmingly voted against it.

I feel the greatest problem against modular refining in Nigeria is political, and this really scares the willing foreign investors.

SavageResponse:
I'm not sure it's commercially viable to profitably operate a modular refinery in Niger because it have very high fixed costs but prices are regulated in Nigeria therefore it will be difficulty to break even because the capacity of the refinery is limited

Will this narrative change if/when the downstream sector is fully deregulated or PMB finally decides to accent to the Petroleum Industry Bill? Or are there other problems? e.g. the "Nigerian factors"?

Godlylifeoneart:
It is obvious, you are writing a research proposal and need diverse information from readers.

And you feel this is a good place to source for research materials?

ahiboilandgas:
are u writing a thesis for the award of a degree

lol. NO. This is not an academic exercise, and why its not in the Education Forum. Besides, NL is definitely not a place to get referenceable materials.

How are my babies?

Nso ke ababa mkpo ntom? Is your "something urgent" trade marked®? And for your question, send me a message on WhatsApp now! I have something very urgent to tell you. It is very important.

ahiboilandgas:
why not appoint me as business consultant to the projects for a fee......u want to build refinery na us small investors u dey ask are you for real

I know how capital intensive investments in the oil sector are. However, every project starts with a single idea, and most times, this doesn't come from the money bags.

So tell me, why do you think the Modular refinery project hasn't so far been a success in Nigeria. I've read of and heard several reasons, I just need more. Its always good to know more (if possible ALL) of the disadvantages/possibilities of failure before venturing into anything.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Of course, yes. Lol.

Send me a DM and I'll furnish you with all you wish to know. Even if na my body count. Afterwards, go ahead and share whatever idea(s) you have for all to benefit.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Try to be more expository when asking questions.

Are you asking this for yourself or generally? Let me give you a business idea that suits your personality.

Do you require my personal details or temperaments to share a business idea that others stand to benefit from? You don't have to be this petty!

I've gone through the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resource's General Requirement and Guidance Information for the Establishment of Modular Refineries in Nigeria. I'm also aware that license have been given to about 38 firms to establish modular refineries in Nigeria, yet only about 3 have constructed or are constructing.

For those that know more than I do, I seek to know if its advisable to invest in the downstream sector (modular refinery operation) of the petroleum industry. Considering the technical economics and operational elements required to make it commercially viable.

Within the confines of 3-5m (loan), which business idea(s) do you think will flourish in Nigeria, particularly in the agro-allied sector?

Factors worth considering include: Its viability, operational economics, good, timely and guaranteed returns and less expertise requirement.

Otondos! They've not seen their posting. When they do, their body go calm down.
