From what I gathered, Afe Babalola owns a university,and here he is working with those bent on making Nigeria the mockery she has since become!

So much for those a lot of Nigerians look up to as having made it! A private citizen hording another private citizen for a matter best considered "Civil"

What a shameless class of useless elites!

Thank you too!

werisetogether:
LOL @ your vivid imagery

Thanks again for the public service. As more of us keep them on their toes, let's hope they wake up to their responsibilities

By the way, this is the week the Punch report referred to about the calibrations.

So let's see what happens next...

Hahahahaha . Bros take am easy!

Papi30:
Highest body you say. Can they build a petrol chemical plant from design, construction and operation. Its not by holding certificate and forming useless bodies

You people are always sad when it comes to the progress of the nation, you people are not happy that the refinery is finally working

Sweetheart... You don't need these paid hands, to know when Refinery starts work. You lots that don't live near Oil & gas installations don't know that a working refinery is as secret as a pregnant woman in her last trimester!

NA Community Liason officers go give you latest...when it starts working because of marching ground money they will collect....not this ones sitting all day in a cozy office waiting for hand out!

werisetogether:
Bigkoko, have you seen this?

Please what's your take?

By the way, aren't there any Nairalanders in Port Harcourt who can give us an independent report?

Them and fraud, deception impersonation and scams na 5&6... they are all over the globe impersonating and disguising identities...

here on nairaland, they have clown monikers...some of them having as much as 50 monikers to themselves for use ...

Typing:
This Yoruba man wish to be Urhobo. Urhobo do not behave like you and Tinubu

And if I am looking for sense, it will be from cunning, subtle and sneaky persons, right? Lol....

Honor10:
You need Sense, when was that up for debate and Yoruba said no?

They are illiterates...the Yoruba equivalent of Northern almajiris...

kaltonga:
But will that make you dismiss the show of solidarity coming from Ohaneze with your assertion? There is time for everything

Very foolish move! But you think he doesn't know? he does! He just knew there is always one useless NPF station and personnel to use and abuse power without fear...

Let him try it outside the shores of Nigeria, whether he will not loose half of his wealth faster than you can eat hot sushi..

maestroferddi:
I dont think ut is a smart move on the part of Elumelu to get involved in this kind of negative press with Dele Farotimi...

Dude is not someone you intimidate anyhow...There is a reason most politicians avoid direct confrontation with him even when he castigates and calls them out often...

When we are trying to make mainstream banks go out of business? Go and work the farms, living your life daily as a jobless free loader on nairaland wont help you!

sapele914:
Trust as usual, bad belle negativity Gift card man, abi Tony Elumelu no allow u use UBA facility?

This Eyepobian a staunch Bola Tinubu Hater, like his brothers Bobloco, Racoon, Tochi3 vexing, na because Anthony Elumelu follow President Tinubu go France.

I know illiterates like you are just grabbing straws trying not to die of hungry! But that's your problem not mine...

I dare Elumelu to try using the police to arrest someone for damafation any Western country, whether he will not loose half of his wealth in a twinkle of an eye!

Animals like you deserve the fiefdom they have created around you! Bigkoko is not the cause of the poverty, misery and backwardness plaguing you daily!

Go and work the farms...posting nonsense because of less than $15 per month will not help you and your miserable life on earth!

sapele914:
Yet we have Tinubu haters like bigkoko already blaming Anthony Elumelu in their bad belle because e follow Tinubu go meet Emmanuel Macron for Paris.

Stop enabling illiterates into power because it suits your political, religious or social whelms!

A civil matter should be treated as a civil matter.... arresting Dele is part of broader reason why some of you will die of hungry soon! If you enable these illiterates, they will devour you at the time you leaset expect because there wuill be no Institute independent enough to challenge them when they abuse powers through their connections to govt in power!

If Dele is ready, he should also go after Elumelu and his assets abroad.... at least he will be given opportunity to prove how he abuses the priviledeges conferred on hiim by wealth, power and closeness to the present Executive govt! He might be lucky and a judge will see reason to compensate him wirth part of his assets abroad!

Dear Nigerians, do you guys seriously feel comfortable allowing a man who became governors like others but left successfully converting Lagos to his personal fiefdom & purse? Do you know how indebted Lagos became because of this here fellow? Have you guys realized how indebted Lagos became after Asiwaju left? Do you niggas for once ever think about the role Alpha Beta is playing in Lagos, and how no one dare question the Company?

Western countries has a reason they protect their countries from people like Asiwaju, like Death, people like him are never ok! But it will culminate in him eating up himself like the Greek legend! Outside politics or drug dealing they have no life, no soul or anything you can say makes him a normal human! Don't think I am attacking him. As i am that kind of person that prefers to watch the actions of a man and judge him based on that`, rather than some shitty documents that would be changed last minute to reflect their true intentions...I think you and no sane person should support Asiwaju Reform to more fraud!

If he is so serious about taking Nigeria to a new El Dorado, not that of Lagos, he should first of all, or accompany it forthwith, two other Reforms that makes States feeding the whole Country through Oil & gas to get at least 80% of the oil & gas earnings. This will help Deltan Niger states. He should also,make any reform that targets the Food industry...making sure all food items coming from the North are tax from a Value chain point of view. But I blame the Daura clown! he was busy sending funds to terrorist in Afghanistan and other societal misnormals, and forgot he has a country to rule! But if ASiwaju claims he has more sense than Buhari, he should do the job Buhari failed to do!

Reforms in three key sectors will kick start Nigeria on the path to true federations! But illiterate, self-centered regional tribalist will think otherwise.

VAT = Value Added Tax. It's simply that extra payment you add when ever you make a purchase for a service or a goods. Most of my companies scattered across the globe pay all sorts of taxes and in some situations get tax refunds and other perks from sane govts.

Tax politics.
Tax politics is simply a tendency to use tax reforms to foist advantages on your cliques, region or govt. Taxes could be weaponised to make others do your bindings... recently the incoming POTUS threatened BRICS nations to unleashed sanctions as well as 100% tax on their goods & services.He didn't threaten to nuke them because at least three of the BRICS Nations all have their own Nukes fully cocked, primed ready to reciprocate. He simply used TAX...Yes...TAX could be weaponised as a legal license to fvck you and your descendents till Pluto become a planent again.

Now baba Emilokan, sensing he might not return to ASO ROCK post 2027, is in a hurry to do something for his family...baba don old. What do you think he is doing going around with bros Seyi? OHH yeaaa...you guys said I be drug bagman...no problem ni, my pikin Seyi no dey do drugs, I will hand over my kingdom to him...you all should serve him. Well, ronus can serve him faaa, nothing concern an Okoro with what happens in ronu enclave..except they bring it out to national mainstraeam.

Babab Bulablu has been advised that in other to make Lagos continually attractive to everyone and by large ensure the spread effects gets to other SW region, he should focus more on TAX reforms that would end up as a dagger to the throat of other Region! Is Lagos not a dagger to the throat of other regions with its Monopoly of shipping, even though other regions possessed more economical avenues to make shipping hubs too? Baba Emilokan poisoned charlice is good, but no thanks, keep it for Oduduwanistan.

Why? Someone would want to ask!!!! If you takes your taxe reforms so serious because it confers some advantages to you in Lagos, while it is overly disadvantageous to Abia state...why should Abia state still be forced to share the chunk of its huge gas & oil resources with you! Go check all true federations, states get to keep the chunk of their resources, while states that has only population to offer get to use tax and other incentives to sustain their population.
To this end, Asiwaju tax reforms that confers unimaginable advantages to Lagos & SW should hold their peace and shelve their reforms. If Asiwaju is keen on effecting reforms. This is what he should do!

Reform the food Sector to confer advantage to the Hausa Fulani region. The region can and should foist taxes on every grain of bean or rice grown there and shipped down south, including carrots. This will increase the cost of food, while also putting more money in the farmers hand. The locas with more money, will have more reason to turn against Boko Haram and reclaim their farming region. But the evil, wicked always competing blacks will never want everyone else to grow as they grow! This will put more money on the hands of the North and clearly show them that free money can also be sourced from the North! Recently

Lastly, like the terrorist sympathizer DR Isa Patami rightly observed, there is a deep mistrust between a govt led by a man who converted a State in the federation into his private fiefdom and the innocent Nigerians seeking means to survive the calamity same appostle of tax reforms brought!
Say No to Asiwaju planned Alpha Beta Pro Max! Lagosians were busy eating Amala and dancing owanmbe while baba Emilokan stole their state from them...ever since, baba no wan leave Lagos alone!

It's not perculiar to Nigerians, its Blacks in general. Nigerians, sometimes if you jam those from same conservative religion or tribe like you might help.... But in general, blacks are something else in the West!

Forget the nonsense of been implicated... if you accommodate someone and the person turns out to be some else, the West are pudent enough to find out and let you off the hook.... but black hearts filled with tribalism and competition or fear to let the other know they are not doing well compared to the pictures they upload on Socail media wont let so many of them to be human!

Poor baby!

Onegai:
So painful!

I wish she had a support system, even the local mosque she attends or Nigerian community to rely on.

The Nigerians in the UK are not very communal-minded, everyone is in their own enclaves and mind their business. Even when they form groups, it's rarely to help out but how to benefit from taking advantage of one another.

Nigerians are not very helpful in general.

If she was Indian, a family would have taken that toddler in.

We need to do better as a society.

Here on nairaland they are everywhere. Some of them have as much as 50 monikers to themselves, designed for different task...some for begging, some for impersonating or disguising as though from other region, some for swaying public opinion etc..... I don't know why they like forging identities, documents, public opinion.....

agadez007:
They do the same things over here in the Homeland
There are thousand of youba opening accounts and claiming to be other Nationality to attack people,I even saw one open an account to claim South African on X but when you read Yoruba grammar you can easily know it’s them,they always have the H factor even in their writings

Ronu and FRaud+deception na 5&6...these are some of their greatest asset; home and abroad!

Possibly taking clue from baba emilokan and his fake Bishops,,,,


My only anger now is that FBI have revealed some secrets regarding supposed private comm.

I agree 100% with you...

There a wired, red hot propensity for most Nigerians to behave foolishly, irresponsible and brazenly Stupids when tribes, religion or politics is involve. The so called elites are not spared from this ugly scourge..... If not, those who supported the Daura clown from 2015 t0 2023 even when it was clear he was running the country aground, majority still support the usurper in Aso Rock... Check well, the propensity to behave foolishly is always there.

Krucifax:
Fantastic write up and very insightful. Especially the bits about truck drivers requesting refunds and the bit about obsolete machinery parts for the refinery. But like all wise words will fall on deaf hears, with comments like "give baba time" "Its because your'e Igbo" "you're a wailer" "etc etc". I often wondered if these are genuine people saying this or paid political bots trying to sway opinion,but alas i came to realise with great dismay that these voices represent a scary mass of Nigerians.

The truth i learned a long time ago is that the majority of Nigerians (easily 85%) are not very bright. They also have below average intellect when faced with matters that goes beyond football,food and procreation. They excel in ignorance,bias,bigotry and their personal favourite religiosity.

Unfortunately the small minority of right thinking Nigerians do not form enough of a powerful cluster to cause any change. You have two options left,join them in squalor or take advantage of them. The latter has been adopted by religious and polictical leaders and foreign entities to amass power and wealth at the expense of the gullible and irredemable masses.

Its like being on a farm, the cow's only function is to provide milk and meat as it can not be reasoned with. So too the majority of our people can not be reasoned with. Sad as it is, it also presents opportunities once you adorn yourself with the cloak of amorality. If you can't help them and they refuse to be helped,you might as well eat them.

Even Customs dont allow 1989 cars come in due to old age...you are here talking! I bet if you are given a 1980 bicycle, you wont accept it calling old ride....

Eboofa:
1989 refinery technology cannot be said to be obsolete..............1965 tech maybe but certainly not 1989!

Quite shameful for a country like Nigeria to be in the hands of clueless looters

adecz:
NNPC is basically a private limited liability
company, with Kyari as MD and the president
is chairman.

The Nigerian public pay for the running of
the company while Chairman, MD and their
cabal share the profits into their private pockets. 😠 😡 👿 😤

My friend, using the name "Oyedel" or 'Okoro"does not connote an individual but a generic description of realities on ground! If you have been following govt policies and the part it plays on people now resorting suicide in SW, the latest been that which happened in Ogun state few days ago.

Nowhere was a single tribe singled out I this write up. pray tell if you find a place!

The message clearly portrays a greedy fellow purportedly cursed by the gods for been too greedy! That person is Asiwaju, not the Yorubas...and I do not believe hose Yoruba miscreants here on Nairaland speaks for all Yorubas.... does hellinus the legendary clown speak for y'all? He is out in another threading calling for extra judicial execution of a man illegally redentioned and who no court in Nigeria has been found wanting despite been in court under two different presidents!

I assumed you have sense, that is why I spend time with this vawulence -free response!

yommen:
Why is it that simple write-ups cannot be done without bringing tribalism into it? The same refinery was there under Jonathan but he couldn't do anything. So why tribalise corruption?

Why your whole write up is a trash is the fact that you claimed it's Oyedele that voted Buhari and Tinubu. Can you kindly do a personal analysis on the last election results with the same energy? 60% of the votes that brought in Tinubu is from the north. Tinubu lost in the South. He lost in Lagos, his domain. If the election was by the south alone, Obi is the president but Atiku even lost to Tinubu in the north but it's still Yorubas that bear the blame.

O course dear... anything that would make life better for innocent Nigerians is a welcomed developement.

Unlike you perhaps, I know where the refinery is, and the significant importance of its business there. The Ogoni women would sell more beans The ashawos will get more drivers to service. The bribe taking security agents will get more to remit to OC...the list is endless. The impart on the informal sector is huge. Even lazy ass community people will have a chance to implement their own taxation on innocent Truckers...one of the reasons why the News leaked.

But must Asiwaju lie about the reopening of the Refinery when its not Only the flaring alone will tell you production is ongoing. But wetin Kunle wh lived all his life in Ogbomosho sabi? He doesn't know what is flaring or or the noise around Huge complexes like that when Production begins! Kpele Kunle... I am not the reason why you have never left Ogbomosho!

Softmirror:
Production will continue or don't you want it to continue?

Sweet heart we still dey wait for production for Ajaokuta Steel plant ni...but sha, Kunle will still be fine even if production no start!

Softmirror:
By the time production resumes shortly we will see what they will write again.

Sweet heart I no dey mock you biko....... i will never mock any hard working man on a legit hustle...but you see you miscreants? Mocking you guys is a CSR I own the sane people of Nigeria!

Even Farooq Kperogi daughter one day salary is higher than what Bulablu pays you guys. And you guys are actually not Normal, by now una don supposed go on strike until Asiwaju at least raise una stipend up to $100 per month. See it as a friendly advice. Even mumu na mama born.....Abi una no get ambition too? Them swear for una?

sapele914:
They mock yourself, how much u dey make from 1 koko gift card a day?

Hahahhahahaha ... dispute the fact listed.

Pasta Reno failed even on the easiest hustle in Nigeria: Fake pastoring! Politics in Nigeria is harder than pastoring...

What else can he not fail?

sapele914:
Please gerrout, Nonsensical Empty Barrels will always purport to make the loudest noise, nothing wey u get.

To get results now, Asiwaju need to increase the 30k to at least what Farooq Kperogi 13 year old daughter earns in the US in one day. By Farooq own admission, his daughter earns $13/per hour. So working on a five hour shift... her one day wage is more tha what Asiwaju dey pay old men & women.. no be so comrade?

floss:
There’s no challenge, as Nigerians are getting wiser to catch Apc on their lies, Apc is doing more research on the new lies to counter their old lies and confuse the people. Their agents are currently undergoing training, once they finish, they’ll flood here to come and put to action all they were taught and at the end of the month get paid their normal 30k

If na by appointment be your yardstick.... na laugh I go dey ;laugh you!

In case na pasta Reno Omokri dey use this moniker... I only ask him to tell which business he don ever set up since dem born am!
Pastor work...he fail.
Marriage life...he fail.
Online work...he fail.
Politics...he failed, he never contest even varsity union elections.
Business..he no get.
Even activism work... we know how he use Leah Sharibu take get donations......

Leave pasta Reno joor. Naim he belly he dey find. For this, Asiwaju dey try for Reno life!

sapele914:
Short man shut up, wear Reno hang em pant, too high for your short hand to reach.

here he goes! Leaving the message, and attacking innocent people! No normal human being will allow a lying govt to get away with their lies. But, sha kunle... we know those who love supporting ex convict into leadership positions!

Try rest, no be must say Asiwaju go be president.

sapele914:
Already wailing @ 5.26 am, Guy u no get joy for house?

Whether refinery work, or e no work, how that one go add money or value to your life?

You these enemies of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, wanna be citizens of Eyepob Republic, these una Almijiri mentality no go lead u & Bigkoko anywhere positive o.

Like someone rightly pointed out... there are telltale signs of a working Refinery!

I guess you don't live anywhere near the Oil producing region. When I was in Nigeria, I can sight the flares from Eleme Petrochemical (Now run by Indorama). Since its a Distillation colum, the flares will be seen from as far as Aba, not to talk of Rumumasi or Eliozu.

89green:
Normally there was never a refinery there, they tot they could sell the lies to us without people exposing them.

But what if there was a functioning refinery there and they told us it's not working but in actual sense it's working but only the cabal want to reap the fruits??
