Politics / Re: Dangote Refinery Begins Polypropylene Production In October, Saving $268m Forex by bigpicture001: 5:21pm On Sep 11
Dannyset:
With the Forex Nigeria will save through this Dangote Refinery, if by early next year Naira did not strengthen against the dollar then Nigeria problem is spiritual.

U won't save any FX... Dangote doesn't trust the system, hence all his FX earning are kept in a foreign bank in Switzerland

Politics / Re: Why NNPC May Not Lift Dangote Petrol On Sunday by bigpicture001: 5:15pm On Sep 11
Dannyset:
Why is Dangote not selling to other Marketers? Must it be NNPC?

Or Dangote is looking for who will take the heat incase the price per litre is too high for Nigerians?

Because they allowed him to by the crude in Naira, they gave him a condition that only them(NNPC ) will buy all the products and sell to Nigerians, he agreed...now he is ready...Nd PPL ask him how much...he said it depends on the NNPC, cuz they will b his sole buyers...


Nigerians smell, shady arrangements and started calling NNPC names ,in a bid to appear as good coy, NNPC now backed out of the deal they earlier arranged .Nd told Dangote to sell to the people... Dangote, knowing NNPC as vindictive, refuse to sell to the people citing agreement as agreement...not because he wouldn't mk gain..but he fears after he finishes selling to the people, they will not allow him get crude again...

The date they previously agreed to start the deal is on 15th, which is on Sunday..so Dangote will not do anything till dt date to b sure NNPC actually refused to buy from him..

According to insiders at Dangote, he plans to sell it to d people anyways if NNPC refuses..Nd if the crude finishes Nd they refuse to supply him again. He will start to import crude but sell only to other nations to allow NNPC import Nd sell to Nigerians so they can continue to lie about their fictitious subsidies.. .

That is what's on ground

Didn't expect you'd have asked honesty. Don't tell me you didn't know how they destroyed Iraq under the pretext if WMD. Thereby, creating a hotbed of terrorism.and I'll want to believe you are quite aware of his Libya was destroyed as well


Of a truth, Iraq was a mistake..they also admitted but at same time ethnic cleansing was ongoing in Iraq which they actually stopped...Sadam keep boasting of having WMD which he didn't have...western intelligence failed there...

But on Libya..the US never stepped foot on Libya soil with it armies ..France and the UK led NATO into Libya..and the leader which called protesters cockroaches was removed ..he was actually killing his people. Firing the from helicopter gun ship.

In both Iraq Nd Libya, the west never aimed to permanently occupy a foreign territory unlike Russia...

Do u know the island of Hong Kong is bore beautiful Nd developed more than any African city..? The UK built it from scratch. ..Nd it's world recognised bank HSBC is also promoted Nd managed by BRTS then.... but when after 100 years of occupation the UK handed the territory in full ownership to China...

Russia did also occupy Siberia from China, Nd till this day never returned it .....call a spade a spade .Putin is the new hitler

I hope everyone can now see clearly this war has always been that between NATO and Russia all the while. All the weapons used by Ukraine right from the beginning of this war has been solely provided by the west, and by extension , NATO and non NATO members inclusive.

Russia shoots same long range missiles at Ukraine killing 41, just yesterday...Iran supplied it with even deadlier one just last week ..human beings are dieing in Ukraine...not dolls..Humans need to also die in Russia....

Russia will probably respond by providing long range weaponry to the Houthis in Yemen.

Even if Houthis shoot at the US.... Ukraine will kill countless Russian PPL and pressure will mount at home on Putin...

Zelensky promised the US that he has all of Russia's ammunition depot and airfield covered ..all of it..but no long range to strike them...

So u can image that the wars will end very very soon

Politics / Re: IPMAN: Petrol Price Will Determine If We Buy From NNPC Or Dangote Refinery by bigpicture001: 4:50pm On Sep 10
Dangote is scared that if he supplies to the public cheap and get appraisal for it...NNPC will stylishly cancell it's agreement with Dangote about the naira for crude...which means Dangote will seek for massive FX to buy from Nigerian explorers...


NNPC in conjunction with the CBN gave dangotes a fixed rate of purchase of crude to refine that's why he is honouring them by making them his sole buyers...but public outbursts is making NNPC fear the whole set up doesn't look open Nd smells of monopoly...

Politics / Re: NNPC Conditions: Dangote Refinery May Dump Local Market, Export Petrol by bigpicture001: 2:45pm On Sep 08
otherway:
I saw this coming.

"On Saturday, the NNPC stated that it would only fully offtake petrol from the refinery if the market prices of PMS were higher than the pump prices in Nigeria"

I knew that the moment NNPC decides to be the sole buyer, they will try to make the price so high so much that Nigeria will start to wonder if Dangote ref has brought succour or hardship.

Now they probably want Dangote to be the one to announce fuel price so Nigerians will hold him responsible for price hike...

Dangote wants NNPC to announce price since they are the ones selling to Nigerians but NNPC don't want to take the heat from Nigerians.

If Dangote is given the freedom as a private entity to sell at his desired price to any marketer he wants be it agip, con oil and so on, I bet Nigerians will have respite.

But as we all know, NNPC is a currupt system and they will always want to make insane detrimental profits, they will do whatever they can to stop dangote from supplying the fuel at his desired price.

U truly have been follow...so so spot on!
Politics / Re: How Much Does Dangote Pay In Taxes And How Much Does Lagos Generate From Alaba? by bigpicture001: 8:11am On Sep 08
Goodvibes007:
Alaba markets traders pay extremely little tax. They keep two bank accounts. You go to buy a TV, they give you a private account to pay into. You go buy oraimo cord, they give you their business account to pay into.

Large cooperation drives the economy of states and countries. This is common knowledge.

They pay little but multiple taxes...now that multiple taxes are monthly and some yearly....then multiply them by the number of traders...and know Ur result.....

Politics / Why Do African Leaders Do This..? by bigpicture001: 3:39pm On Sep 07
Every year they have a continental conference with world leading blocks, the US, Russia, China and the EU...

The EU and the US usually fly down to Africa and have them converge in a gigantic conference centre in the continent's unity building and then address them...but China especially summon them to show up in Beijing as Dou they are small children and am usually suprised at the speed these African leaders heed the summons...

Foreign Affairs / Re: The Isreali Munich Olympics Massacre by bigpicture001: 11:25am On Sep 05
The isrealis never gave up


Following the incident, operation commander Michael Harari ordered the mission to kill Salameh be aborted. The Kidon team, however, elected to ignore the order and tried one more time to kill Salameh. Intelligence placed Salameh at a house in Tarifa, Spain. As three agents moved toward the house, they were approached by an Arab security guard. The guard raised an AK-47 assault rifle, and was immediately shot. The operation was aborted, and the team escaped to a safe house.[31]

In the aftermath of the Lillehammer affair, international outrage prompted Golda Meir to order the suspension of Operation "Wrath of God".[32] The ensuing Norwegian investigation and revelations by the captured agents compromised Mossad assets across Europe, including safe houses, agents, and operational methods.[33] Five years later, it was decided to recommence the operation under new Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and find those on the list still at large.[34]

Mossad began surveillance of Salameh's movements after tracking him to Beirut during late autumn of 1978. In November 1978, a female Mossad agent identifying herself as Erika Chambers entered Lebanon with a British passport issued in 1975, and rented an apartment on the Rue Verdun, a street frequently used by Salameh. Several other agents arrived, including two using the pseudonyms Peter Scriver and Roland Kolberg, traveling with British and Canadian passports respectively. Some time after their arrival a Volkswagen packed with plastic explosives was parked along Rue Verdun within view of the rented apartment. At 3:35 p.m. on January 22, 1979, as Salameh and four bodyguards drove down the street in a Chevrolet station wagon,[35] the explosives in the Volkswagen were detonated from the apartment with a radio device, killing everyone in the vehicle. After five unsuccessful attempts,[36] Mossad had assassinated Salameh. However, the blast also killed four innocent bystanders, including a British student and a German nun, and injured 18 other people in the vicinity. Immediately following the operation the three Mossad officers fled without trace, as well as up to 14 other agents believed to have been involved in the operation.[36]

The hunt for main mastermind

Ali Hassan Salameh


Mossad continued to search for Ali Hassan Salameh, nicknamed the Red Prince, who was the head of Force 17 and the Black September operative believed by Israel to be the mastermind behind the Munich massacre. This belief has since been challenged by accounts of senior Black September officials, who say that while he was involved in many attacks in Europe, Salameh was not at all connected with the events in Munich.[29]

Almost a full year after Munich, Mossad believed they had finally located Salameh in the small Norwegian town of Lillehammer. On July 21, 1973, in what would become known as the Lillehammer affair, a team of Mossad agents shot and killed Ahmed Bouchiki, a Moroccan waiter unrelated to the Munich attack and Black September, after an informant mistakenly identified Bouchiki as Salameh. Six Mossad agents, including two women, were arrested by local police, while others, including the team leader, Michael Harari, managed to escape back to Israel. Five of the captured were convicted of the killing and imprisoned, but were released and returned to Israel in 1975. Victor Ostrovsky claimed that Salameh was instrumental in leading Mossad off course by feeding it false information about his whereabouts.[30]

In January 1974, Mossad agents covertly deployed to Switzerland after receiving information that Salameh would meet PLO leaders in a church on January 12. Two assassins entered the church at the time of the meeting, and encountered three men who appeared to be Arab. One of them made a move for his weapon, and all three were then immediately shot and killed. The Mossad agents continued into the church to search for Salameh, but did not find him. In a short time, the decision was made to abort the mission and escape.[31]
