NNPC TAM 89% of the time is designed to fail so they can keep budgeting for it every eke market days.

Just like the Police, nobody that grows up in that system will be able to sanitize it because they are part and parcel of the rot.

Ojulari is from the private sector, hopefully we see some turnaround efficiency in that company in the nearest future.

Tinubu delays some some important decision and sometimes rush some important decision. Everything just seems uncoordinated.

I think NNPC should just be made regulator and not a player in the industry . If they take the refineries off NNPC’s hands and just have them remain regulators we would be surprised how effective the new owners of the refinery will be .

GloriousGbola:
we are now in a conundrum

the refineries were sold in 2010/11, but yardua reversed the sale

imho they were at scrap value in 2015, but buhari decided to revamp them. i believe the vendors engaged were actually competent, but NNPC is NNPC.

now NNPC hase an asset that on paper has a value of 1billion dollars that no one will want to buy.

Yeah , NNPC is the problem .

Buhari should not have tried to revamp the refineries under the leadership of NNPC . Selling the refinery still remains the best decision Buhari didn’t take

liveLongNprospa:
We did TAM in EGTL escravos that shares the same fence with nnpc and it took a year for that project to be completed. Just 1 year and everything was back to normal.
See ehn, some people nor suppose dey see day break with the kind of evil they support

As in….. Amoto wey never Dey involved in TAM before Dey tell person say e Dey ignorant because NNPC pour am spit 😂

He’s not concerned about over 2 billion USD Buhari approved for the TAM of Warri, PH and Kaduna refineries that now seems to be gone down the drain ; he’s talking about reveling in merriment . SMH 🤦‍♂️

larride:
There will still be plenty revelation regarding nnpc in coming weeks. I believe it's part of the reason why Tinubu sacked Kyari and the entire board.

Kyari should've be removed since last year but "some influential people" kept pressuring Tinubu against appointing Ojulari and rather appoint a core Northerner to take over from Kyari. All those news of refinery this and that were to use to buy Kyari some goodwill to either remain or someone he recommends take over from him.

Wale Edun already announced that a proper financial audit of the entire nnpc including subsidiaries is currently ongoing, we'll begin to hear plenty stories and scandal soon enough.

I mentioned it back then that immediately Tinubu sacked Emefiele , Mele Kyari’s sack should’ve followed immediately. There was no justification for Kyari to have kept his job till 2025.

The Port Harcourt refinery restart date was postponed for almost 7 times if I am not mistaken . Yet, today we are told the plant is barely operating at 40% capacity sef .

Private operators in the oil and gas sector do Turnaround Maintenances as at when due and they carryon after its successful completion . They import parts and spares months before commencement of any proposed TAM, they have contractors mobilized as at when due , they have project managers working around the clock and deadline after deadline met . Plans are made , KPIs measured , strategies implemented, etc. There are consequences for actions and inactions .

But u will see NNPC failing over and over again and some people because of partisan politics will be defending their failure . Shior !

Amoto94:
You don't know what you don't know- and this is the worst form of ignorance. People will deliberately throw spanner in the work just to maintain status quo without minding the harm their acts of sabotage will cause. But you can revel in your merriment alongside your cheerleaders.

See u going philosophical after NNPC pour spit for ur face . 😂

You appointed urself NNPC spokesperson making outrageous claim that the refinery was delayed by audio saboteurs when almost everybody knows NNPC’s major issue is inefficiency in their workforce and systemic issues .

Some of u just cap gibberish to defend what u don’t know .

For your information , I have been privileged to work in an organization that has done successful Turnaround Maintenances ; the same TAM NNPC spends hundreds of millions of dollars on and always have nothing to show for . I may not be a technical/engineering person but I have seen TAMs done in the private sector ; not the yeye waste of our common resources NNPC always do without result .

You think this is me reveling in merriment ? No this is me telling u that u actually didn’t have an inkling about what was happening in NNPC But u were sticking ur neck out for them claiming imaginary saboteurs . Let private sector investors handle the refinery and see if it won’t work .

Back then in 2024 Amoto94 said it was audio saboteurs that delayed the “restart” of the PH refinery .

The question of the day is : Do we still blame saboteurs for the current state of the PH , Warri and Kaduna refineries ?

Amoto94:
Saboteurs did serious damage hence the delays

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So no refinery is actually working?

Wow![/color]

Wetin u see wey make u talk so ?

diggz:
Dey play! You see that purging no go change anythIng. Dem go just replace dem with their people, nothing changes.

The only commodity this present government sold us is “hope” ; we can only hope . That was why they called their campaign renewed hope agenda .

We can only hope they turn things around in that NNPC since they said the person leading the country is the master strategist

NNPC sacks over 200 staff members .

I hope this purging will improve the efficiency of the organization in the long run. The organization has been due for restructuring for a very long time

Income per capita is the most important metric in migration not any megedefegede. China is big because of population, most of their population are still poor, same with India. What matters is the average man welfare and that's what drives Japa. China per capita income is $5k, a third the size of Estonias per capita income

Yeah I agree , most citizens in countries like Indian and China are still not as rich as people in the west and it’s a major factor when people in developing countries are looking for greener pastures to japa to. Nobody wants to japa to countries where citizens are still struggling to get the bread .

I remember when a relative wanted to japa to Malta and I made inquiries about the country . Ur advise and further personal investigation about the country shock me . Japa to places like that na just struggle continues .

Theflint1:
Lol, thank you!

They know who they are and can't help but be vile, but it's perplexing that they now insist on playing victims as well.

I don talk am before say mentally imbalanced individuals Dey both camp .

Anybody who claims otherwise is just being dishonest deliberately

Theflint1:
Is Macaroni one of the persons promoting vileness on social media or he's simply been a victim of APC hired thugs and e-rats that won't leave him be?

I know u don’t like to dig , but I feel u might need this .

Although the guy folded after much public outrage , but trust me he did threatened to unalive macaroni simply because he felt Debo’s opposition to APC government in Lagos is getting too much .

Don’t mention ! 👍

GloriousGbola:
Now we get to the root of the matter

Tinubu economic policy has reduced the number of players available to receive the bluerayD at optimal budget

Ah, No o…. I’m a happily married man o 🤷‍♂️

GloriousGbola:
BlueRayDick knows so much about these owambe and celebrity matters. Man has range from politics to acada to corpo to yeyebrity matter

I actually do go to parties a lot in the past; I been dey see some of these things wella .

It’s of recent under Tinubu I’ve been trying to turn down party invites because outside don cost . 🥵

yewit37486:
they wan spoil Nigerians' reggae and blues.

Some Nigerians don already Dey spend prop money for parties .

You would go to the party with ur real Naira notes which u will exchange with the prop money from any of the money changers designated at the venue by the event planner .

All the real money deposited with the event planner automatically goes to the celebrant . So when the guests are being entertained ,the prop money will be sprayed . As a guest who got sprayed , u can always go back to the money changers to change the prop money back to the real money . But las las na the celebrate will make more money from this arrangement sha

yewit37486:
One comment there struck me: And yet, people around the world are dying to come here and live the American Dream you hardly ever hear about anyone dreaming of going to China to chase the Chinese Dream.

China has rapidly developed in the past few decades but you still don't see people aspire to go there... ?

Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn .

I also don’t think china makes its migration routes easy like western countries do

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested a popular Lagos socialite, Emeka Okonkwo Daniel (a.k.a. E-Money), for allegedly abusing the Naira note.

Our correspondent gathered that he was arrested on Monday night at his residence in the Omole area of Lagos.

Sources within the commission on Tuesday said E-Money was arrested for allegedly spraying United States dollars, an act said to be in violation of the Foreign Exchange Act.

One of the sources said, “On Monday night, we arrested E-Money for Naira abuse and defacing foreign currencies. Specifically, he was alleged to have sprayed U.S. dollars, which is against the Foreign Exchange Act.

So spraying dollar bills is also a violation of Foreign Exchange Act ?

Does that mean Nigerians can’t spray money again since Spraying dollars is against Foreign Exchange act and spraying Naira is against CBN act ?

semid4lyfe:
I agree with you 💯.

Lizzy contracted Tope Alabi for the birthday surprise through a middleperson who is kinda close to Tope Alabi and even got a discount from TA's management and as a result paid 2.5m instead of the normal 3.5m rate.

The middleperson refused to divulge the identity of the celebrant so TA went along with it.

It was when TA & hubby got to Lizzy's shopping mall the venue of the birthday that they realized the celebrant was LA. They turned back without even getting down from the car and have refunded LA the 2.5m but Lizzy is dragging TA all over social media saying the money was paid by her fans bla bla bla.

I do not blame TA at all. LA contracted her with deception and she did so because she knew TA would have refused if she knew it was for her.

Lizzy Anjorin has released dozens of videos to drag TA and is spilling many things about her since the episode which only proves that TA was right not to honour their birthday arrangement.

People like Lizzy Anjorin live for controversy ; it is only wise for any decent person to avoid them at all cost because u don’t when u will become a target of their numerous tantrums online .

semid4lyfe:
BlueRayDick, wetin you see for this Tope Alabi vs Lizzy Anjorin matter?

U mean Tope Alabi refusing to perform for the birthday surprise for Lizzy Anjorin when she found out the identity of the person to be surprised is Lizzy ?

I support Tope Alabi’s position , I only blame her management (Her husband ) for not verifying the identity of the person Tope Alabi will be surprising before the D-Day.

Lizzy Anjorin normally is a very vile person whom most decent people don’t really want to identify with. She goes about cussing people’s kids on the internet . She’s full of toxicity and always storing one controversy or the other . It is understandable someone like Tope Alabi would not want her brand to be identified with such a character .

It’s just that Tope Alabi’s management fumbled by not telling her Lizzy is the celebrant they’ve been paid for her to surprised . Anyways I heard Tope Alabi’s management refunded Lizzy’s fans that organized the surprise performance her . I think they should both move on .

Recognition na water 💦

I never said that blocking someone is a sign of mental weakness. What i said was that quitting a platform simply because your posts are criticized or not widely accepted or some people posts are not in line of what you can stomach shows a first-class mental weakness. As Raumdeuter pointed out, if someone insults you on the highway, would you stop driving your car because of it?
Every sphere of life is full of challenges, facing them only makes us stronger. Some people will insult you for no reason, but as a man, you have to stay focused and move forward.

Stand your ground. Let people know you for what you stand for, even if you don't receive much support. If you are on the right side of truth, one day the truth will reveal itself and vindicate you. That’s how true winners emerge. Winners continue with a strong mentality, it is only a weak mind that quits halfway.

😂

But the whole discussion has always been about blocking and not quitting any platform. You are the one that shared the blocking post here , I don’t see u share any link about anybody quitting platform na. 🤷‍♂️

This one wey u Dey talk about quitting and winners , e come dey muse me o 🤩

He actually made sense on this one . There’s indeed hunger in the land ; he’s not wrong if he decides to speak the obvious truth .

I won’t be surprised if his party at the ward level decides expel him for anti-party activities anytime soon. Saying truth to power seem to be a recipe for explosion inside APC under this current dispensation

MorataFC:
You got all the posts twisted, maybe deliberately, or maybe you didn’t understand my message. I never mentioned "blocked" in my post, and I never said anyone was blocking anyone because of a mental health issue.

My message was a response to semid4lyfe's comment about a fellow who abandoned this thread due to the mental stress he claimed to have suffered from other contributors.
If you excommunicate yourself from a thread with fewer than 1,000 contributors because their opinions cause you mental stress, how can you cope with apps like Twitter, news channels, and other media platforms that host millions of contributors?

No matter how good your contributions are, not everyone will agree with you. And no matter how bad, wicked, or even devilish your behavior is, there will still be some people who support and follow you.

Anyone who thinks everything he posts on social media will be accepted by everyone, without criticism then he or she have a weak mentality.
If opinions on Nairaland don't align with yours and you leave, only to find that opinions on Twitter don't match either and you leave again, and the same happens elsewhere and you leave then perhaps the problem lies not with the platforms but with your ability to cope.
Such a person might need to check his or her mental health.

Lolz 😂

In the first paragraph u said u weren’t talking about blocking or no blocking . Then u spent the rest paragraphs talking about why nobody should block nobody . Lmao.

Anybody can block anybody , it has nothing to do with being mentally strong or weak. The primary purpose of blocking is controlling the content u consume online . Shikena!

If u feel someone is too stupiid for u to waste brain cells reading their post , u are well within ur rights to block the person . That one no be mental weakness kan kan 🙅‍♂️

Theflint1:
Lol, I dunno sha, just felt there were ways the man would have gone about things differently, but I guess his APC party members wanted maximum effect

They want to give him opportunity for EFCC to forgive and forget his case ; yet u Dey expect make dem no demand open/loud defection ?

Theflint1:
So Okowa sef follow for the defection

https://www.nairaland.com/8411080/okowa-apc-national-secretary-ajibola

My assumption was he'd surrender his party machinery and abstain from the PDP without necessarily making it official, but to defect so openly...omor. No greater L has been served Atiku than this, not even his previous election losses.

Okowa wey get fraud case of N1.3 Trillion with EFCC, u say make he do secret-ballot defection?

Just dey play!

MorataFC:
Thank you for the bolded. I don't understand how someone can claim that other people's comments or opinions are affecting their mental health. It’s simply not realistic to expect everyone to think the same way. You air your view, and I share mine, none has the power to force his or her opinion on others. Even in heaven, where everything is perfect, the Devil still think otherwise.
Back in 2006, I worked with one oga in Lagos who said that, the best president Nigeria ever had was Sani Abacha. He is entitled to his opinion. Interestingly, this same person has always been appointed multiple times as an ambassador to represent the country. Now, if I were to say that an ambassador’s personal opinion is causing me mental distress, then clearly, I’m the one who needs to check my own mental state.

Nobody is blocking anybody because of any mental health .

People block each other because they don’t want to see each other’s contents ; it’s that simple .

It’s just like choosing not to see Reno Omokri’s GBA takes on issues ; it’s one’s prerogative to block him. It’s the same way u can decide not to see some people’s status on WhatsApp simply because they don’t post things that u really think u should be seeing on ur timeline . There are some people whom by virtue of u saving their number u see pornnn on ur timeline ; would u say one is being immature if he decides to mute such people’s status view or block them completely ?

There’s no big deal blocking anybody on any social media platform ; it’s basically controlling the content you feed on.

iamoyindamola:
Seun no do well, why I no fit block mods😡😡😡

U wan block him on both iamoyindamola and ur Sod account , Seu.n carry u handicap

TemporaryHansel:
Omo this thread no go sweet again oh.

Blocking one or two people you don't want to see their content wouldn't actually make the thread boring or stop you from learning from the thread na.

It's advisable u only block people whom u have assessed and believe their contribution to ur learning experience/general discussions here is actually of no value to u.

TemporaryHansel:
So I no fit block am back?
Na cheating be this oh

Once u block someone, the person too has blocked u automatically . Whether he blocks u first or u block him first it doesn't really matter, the goal is both of u will avoid each other sha

TemporaryHansel:
Why can't I see the feature or is my guy gbola a super mod? 😳

He don block u first be that
