Lmao.. My brother, a plant is not something you joke with by having things like corrosion appear.
Then if you watch the video on the day of the fire out break, you'll see people walking around the place burning. These are not fire fighters or even HSE officers with fire fighting equipments.
It also shows the slow response of the company's ERP.

Like I said, terrible safety culture.

Okay o, I leave it to u professionals to decide.

GloriousGbola:
You are a pure office guy and you will be very easy to bamboozle
we will walk you past leaking tank and tell you it is rainwater

you are the kind of gofamint inspector we want coming to site

I agree

afrodoc2:
It’s still not a good look. How many years have they been cooling it with water as you said? I have seen metallic structures which have been exposed to the elements survive for longer before becoming rusty.

Shouldn’t they be made of or coated with more resistant material?
I am not an engineer but I don’t think they should look so rusty so soon. You know the next stage after rust is developing holes and fragmentation. If there is already that much rust a few months in, how soon do you think holes and leakages will start happening?

I am also not an engineer but I don't think we can draw inference that the whole refinery project has terrible safety culture in place simply by looking at that pipe. For all we know, that may even be a water pipe and not a pipe that contains hydrocarbon or any other chemical.

Those bigger overhead pipes are the ones that most likely contain hydrocarbon.

afrodoc2:
Refinery that has not been operating for up to a year? It’s too early to have that level of rust, unless substandard materials were used.

It is more of a red flag. If that pipe that we can see is already showing signs of serious wear and tear, what about the other things that we can’t see but are equally important.

Those pipelines have most likely been laid since the commencement of the project . They didn’t just lay the pipe last year na

GloriousGbola:
i suspect that the last phases of the project were rushed because there was so much pressure on dangote to deliver from multiple quarters.
a fire is a serious warning because for you to have a fire multiple safety barriers in your system have been breached
visible rust on the joints of your pipes in a facility that is less than 6 months old is disturbing because it may mean that off spec pipes were installed. much worse is that a rusting pipe is a pipe that will fail under pressure. and the pipes in the facility will constantly be under pressure.

this is dangotes first foray into the oil ad gas industry. most newcomers have to learn the hard way. safety is time consuming. safety means adding four steps to a two step process. safety means a job that takes 5 minutes will take 30 minutes because of prep. so a person coming from a business environment may see this as a waste of time. it is also much worse in nigerian run companies because in a Nigerian company - the engineer will take the fall. in a Total, the ceo will take the beating for not promoting a safety culture

i can tell you dangote is going to have a lot of explaining to do to a lot of people, especially as the oil industry is very big on safety.as for the IOCS who he has been calling out - they will be quietly smirking at the JJC who want to play in the big leagues but cannot get small safety processes straight.

Baba, Dangote owns the Africa’s biggest granulated urea fertilizer plant which has been in operation for the past 2 years. This is not his first foray into oil and gas . The set up of both plants are similar .

Honestly I don’t think safety measures were circumvented in this refinery project . Accidents do happen even under the most safety compliant conditions . My bet is on the fact that the fire is more of an accident than negligence

liveLongNprospa:
Nah man.

Even this new Dangote refinery still has terrible safety culture.
Nawa oo.
And please why is a new facility already having corroded pipes especially at the joint??

How do u conclude a refinery has a terrible safety culture from this picture ? 😮

I have been in a plant similar to that before and I saw water being sprayed on such pipelines to cool it down. Definitely , overtime the water will wear-off coatings off the pipe and u will see traces of rust like this one u are seeing in the picture .

I don’t think u can just claim there is no proper safety culture in place by just looking at this picture .

The refinery is a multi billion dollar project with so many stakeholders who did not just put their money in it to have it burn via terrible safety culture . It appears u are looking at things from an agenda point of view .

This guy funny ahswear..

Btw, na truth e talk shaa

The verydarkman guy is as shallow as they come.

So Obi Cubana selling alcohol is a problem ? Is alcohol illegal or what ?

Make the guy go find somewhere sleep abeg. Does he know how much Obi Cubana pays as tax so that non tax paying adults like him can enjoy social amenities provided by government ?

He’s talking about the youths in the north being unemployed blah blah…. Is it Obi Cubana they voted in the north as their governor ?

Make the guy just change name to Very Daft Man

Amigoss:
They were let in eventually

Check my first reply to iamoyindamola, I stated it that they will probably be let in eventually.

I think the cloth they are wearing sef is same as one worn by Chioma's friends. It is just the embarrassment ni, and they made it to the internet

GloriousGbola:
It also does not help when you are going to a society wedding dressed like a tramp looking for clients. They may have seen them and thought they were some Davido ex baddies looking to make trouble.

With all Davidos checkers history with attention seeking skanks, security at his wedding would have been a priority.

Before one olosho storm the stage refusing to hold her peace

Another Angu!

The wedding had in attendance state governors, an ex-president of the country , billionaires and creme de la creme of the society. If one must attend dressed like that, then u must be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that u the celebrant's expressed permission to enter.

Na dem do themselves.

obainojazz:
If true, I go like identify as tyre

The State House spent a whopping sum of N244,654,350 for the purchase and supply of tyres in a single day, according to findings by Daily Trust.

Investigation and data gathered from govspend, a portal documenting the Presidential Villa expenditure, showed that the State House made payments for the supply of an unspecified quantity of bulletproof tyres and Westlake tyres, shortly before President Bola Tinubu government marked its first year in office.

Documents showed that the sums of N200,583,390, N38,070,000, and N6,000,960, were respectively paid for these items, on May 21, 2024
The documents revealed that two separate payments were made for the purchase and supply of tyres (no specified quantity) for bulletproof vehicles and another five armoured bulletproof tyres to Obi-Wealth Enterprises Nigeria Limited (RC-640684) for the sums of N200,583,390 and N38,070,000.

A quick search on the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) website revealed that the company is inactive.

Hommy & Fay Investments Limited, active on the CAC portal, handled the other part of the supply of an unspecified number of Westlake tyres (315/80R22) for N6,000,960.

Attempts to get reactions from the presidency over the tyre expenditure did not yield result as several calls made to the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, did not go through.The message sent to him had not been replied as of the time of filing this report.

24 hours after the tyre payments were made, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Atiku Bagudu, apologised to Nigerians over the nationwide hardship.

They just paid over N200m to a company that is inactive on CAC portal just like that!

And dem say make their supporters bear with them over the hardship....Issokay o

the only thing that can make me ask for assisted suicide is only in the case of physical incapacitation..

So far as I have my 2 hands and 2 legs intact with no reoccurring critical health related issues

I have not yet seen nor imagine what can ever make me go suicidal route

This is u talking about when u still have the mental capacity to take decisions by urself .

Some of the people who commit suicide are not in charge of their own decisions ; some of them do it because they are mentally incapacitated .

iamoyindamola:
I don't like access card party
It's an indirect way of telling people they are not invited

That’s just what it is ; a party where u select the attendees before the day of event . Anybody without access card should automatically know their presence is not required .

But we get strong head for naija

liveLongNprospa:
But this is a common situation.
There are people that are actually invited but the security moves mad or something.
Especially in events.
So they have to call so that it gets sorted out.
Me sef don go sort out issues like this as part of hosts.

The major issue is being recorded and posted online for people to insult you.

This particular case is not the same as what u narrated .

Davido’s wedding was strictly by invitation . The invitation was in two forms, the hard copy and the soft copy . Both form of invitation had a bar code which will be scanned at point of entry before u are allowed in.

Everyone that got the IV was aware the access code grants u entry . The moment u failed to present the access code u don mess up na.


They ought to know such type of parties is not one where u will be able to sweet talk urself in or the security will understand ur plight.

I never said recording and posting them online is right o; in fact I pity them cos the whole thing is embarrassing . I’m only saying people should be more intentional about not putting themselves in such position

iamoyindamola:
This is just me
That was how my colleague handed us one access card to her wedding
Even though we came in staff bus the bouncers didn't let us in until we saw a familiar figure
I was already disengaging myself from the group because na embarrassment if they didn't let us in

That's the disadvantage of doing Access card parties. While u are trying to control the crowd and prevent people u don't want at ur party, u will end up shutting some important people who either forgot their access cards or were too nonchalant about it thinking they will be allowed in on self recognition basis.

Once u tell me it is an access card party, I won't leave my house without the card.

But then, this is Nigeria. Most of those bouncers will collect cash and allow gate crashers enter; I have seen it happen wella. Those bouncers sef dey run their own small side business for gate

iamoyindamola:
Look well na areola you see

Areola West Ham keeper Abi which one ?

Omo see wash and disgrace

They will probably be let in eventually ;
But I don’t know why some people do this thing sha .

As I Dey like this ehn, I Dey respect myself gan and I hate embarrassment . Where dem no call me, I no Dey go and even where dem call me I Dey make sure I get full gist about the event before I even commot house .

When we were in school we did a lot of funny stuff , crashing convocation parties , going to mosque to collect iftar during Ramadan as non-Muslims , dressing up to attend wedding ceremonies hosted within school premises , crashing naming ceremonies in our hostel area , etc. But all those things ends once person graduate .

I still attended a party in April where access card was required for entry . Though I went with 2 other people , I made sure I got access card for them from the host before the day of the event . I no like embarrassment at all; make person come Dey outside Dey beg bouncer . No matter how well dressed u are , dem go rubbish u

iamoyindamola:
Now he's foolishly dragging those who he shouldn't indirectly

Funny thing is he's the one that got 5pm wedding IV while the people he attempted to drag got the 10am wedding IV.

The guy no get class and he's ready to drag everybody inside rofo rofo with him

iamoyindamola:
God I hate that guy with passion
Everything about him, even though those he's fighting ain't my favourite too
I just hate guy with loose mouth, portable is not like this na

I don't even hate, I just get amused that some Nigerians stan someone who is shallow and lacks decorum like him.

Imagine person wey dem invite go wedding begin drag fellow guests. Smh

A40:
Soft porn una

Na una sabi that one. Let's be pretending we don't see women like these everyday for real life

Nobody is pretending those girls don't exist.

All we are saying is macaroni is doing same thing Nedu wazobiafm was doing; trying to push skits that are not funny with girls with big booobs and backside clad in sexy cloth. That's not comedy.

What could have made this big man commit suicide

Maybe depression or any mental health issue.

iamoyindamola:
This stupid boy verydarkman should be returned to jail
Who they give assholes like this relevance

Na bloggers wey dey give am relevance I blame.

People like him are a nuisance to the society and do not deserve to be given the kind of attention bloggers give him. It is the bloggers that are always pushing his nonsense videos to our face.

I never person wey shallow like that guy in a long time

Ibime:
I can't wait for all these people swallowing Govt propaganda how Russia loves them to move to Russia. I've been in Turkey for the last week. I mistakenly booked a hotel where 90% of the clientele are Russian. It's one thing to swallow propaganda, it's another to live with these people. People wey no dey even smile, when black man walk past, they will move away, you ask them questions, they will just stare at you and start nudging each other.

One guy from Kazan came to take picture with us, and couldn't wait to tell us how he is one of the good guys and there is no difference between us (black) and them, that we are all human. I come dey reason why he feels the need to tell us that that unless their society is completely unused to black people. One German-Turkish guy dey commiserate with us and wish us good luck tell us say we make mistake to book this hotel. Nothing concern me sha, I dey do my thing dey go and spend most of my time in the gym. To be fair, one or two friendly ones dey but few and far between. One of them I met in the gym does sets with me and spot for each other etc

Once Okpa shows them his Putin fans club, they will treat him with utmost respect 😁

GloriousGbola:
okpa has still refused to run to russia to earn rubles and knack russian chicks in a simple military operation that requires stamping on a comedian

People like Okpa only profess their love for dictators, terrorists and communists from afar. They never grow the balls to go where the action is to experience it live and direct

liveLongNprospa:
Yeah this.
My prayer is the citizens avoid tomorrow's protest and the president has to look for a way to atone for the death of those heroes that died to make this come to pass.
He just has to do something sha

Which one is tomorrow prostest again?

Is there more to their protests? I though the reason behind the protests is to force the government's hand to repeal the finance bill. What other thing are they protesting for ?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
But the US government is also promoting terrorism by
supporting and backing Ukraine's neo nazi group. They should pick a side and stand by
their words. You cannot promote and support terrorist groups thousands of metres and kilometers away from your national boundaries to destabilize sovereign states and be complaining when the citizens of these countries flood your country.

You destroy Libya, destroy Iraq, destroy Syria, Palestine yet you don't want their citizens in your country. Na ment dey worry you.

How does US providing military aid funding to Ukraine(an ally defending itself against an aggressor) the same as supporting terrorism?

Which kind mumbo jumbo false equivalence be this ?

Anybody that wants to support terrorism should go and live with the terrorists and side with them in flesh and blood

liveLongNprospa:
How far

Was it worth it?

Kudos to Ruto for doing the honorable thing- FOLDING by Listening to the voice of the people.

I think one thing that worked to the advantage of the people in Kenya is that the country is one with no single dominant tribe like we have in Nigeria. The country is one with several minority tribes unlike where have like 3 dominant tribes which makes it easy for politicians and people in government to always use tribalism divide the people.

raumdeuter:
Most of them fled terrorism in Syria and Middle East yet go to Germany to promote ideals of what they fled from
Like fleeing Boko Haram or ESN and getting to a safer place and promoting what you fled from

Their hypocrisy stinks to high heavens

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
No wonder our abroadians dey support Israel or some even maintain absolute silence The fear of deportation is real.

The law is a right move in the right direction .

Why will u be living in a civilized world and enjoying the privileges of living in a civilized world only for u to be promoting terrorism ?

If u want to promote terrorism maybe u should go and live with the terrorists themselves and enjoy the ideals of terrorism . Put mouth where ur money is ; don’t support them from afar when u can do it right at home with them.

What kind of operation are they running that they have a fire within months of operation? Na real wa

Their insurance premiums are going to shoot up.

Someone may have been stealing product

Fire can happen at anytime when it comes to this kind of plants .

The problem with those kind of plants is there are some component that are expected to be cold at all times and there are some components that are expected to be hot at all times. Any slight issue maybe due to human error or negligence could lead to serious catastrophic consequence for the operation of the plant.

The insurance will surely settle them . But the incident will give them a major set back in their operations
