Come to the North and see how Hausa guys hustle, not engaging in fraud and scamming people up and down. Come here and see dignity in labour.
So there are no scammers in the north Abi ? It is only in the south they engage in fraud scamming people up and down Abi ? Shey Ganduje that was stuffing dollars inside his babariga didn't scam the whole people of Kano ? Abi those yahoo boys wey EFCC dey parade for their Kaduna and Abuja office no dey part of the north ?

Na only north dignity of labor dey; e no dey south Abi ? Later u go dey wonder what we learnt in university . We learnt to call thieves what they are " THIEVES " ! And we learnt to call incompetent bozzos like Buhari what they are " INCOMPETENT MANNEQUIN " !

https://punchng.com/fg-eyes-2-5-million-barrels-daily-oil-production/

2.5m bpd

I guess maybe that's the breakeven point.
This news article is very vague ; to me this is a shody piece of journalism from punch .

When they say FG eyes 2.5 million barrels daily oil production they didn't say the most important thing " HOW" . Is it that FG intends to achieve this by drilling more oil wells ? fighting crude oil theft heads-on with new approach ? Will they go about exploring possible crude oil deposit in other states outside Niger delta ? etc.

They just loaded the article with so many irrelevances talking about Minister for petroleum for state going to conference where he challenged the US diplomat .

They also mentioned that we intend to stop IOC's from leaving but didn't also mention HOW

What is this thing Buhari and NNPC know?
Buhari and NNPC know about our financial commitments as regards crude for swap towards the loan repayment .

U and I may not know but they certainly can't claim they don't . They know they won't have enough crude to supply Dangote in the nearest foreseeable future

That is left to be seen, There have been many projects that didn't achieve their initial aim but its left to be seen if the long run.

At a point we need local refining capacity, Buhari and govt thought helping Dangote will help the local demand. It remains to be seen
See u are just dancing around the point instead of admitting it was financial recklessness and incompetency at full display by Buhari and NNPC.

As at march 2021 Buhari had over 17 trillion borrowed as loan. They know fully well the repayment of these loans are tied to our crude production, at the same time they knew our crude production would not be able to support Dangote well enough after removing the quota already alloted to loan repayment.

Oya why did they still go ahead with tying Fx down knowing what they know ? Na ment?

Dangote has the potential to be an FX earner and reduction in FX needs. Key word is potential.

If we can supply with enough crude after meeting our own income need. Dangote will not reach full capacity in year 1 or year 2. It will take time
Dangote will be selling to Nigeria in Fx and naira in the forseeable future. Nigeria committed Fx to Dangote's venture when e could've used the FX in non-oil sector.

With or without FG's committing Fx to Dangote's venture he would still have completed his refinery and sell to us in Fx if we want to buy.

It's not a wise decision thus far.

Nigeria has to produce crude for export to generate income for the country that is very important. Now any excess we give to Dangote and others to refine

If due to whatever reason e.g theft and co we cannot

Say we need to export 20m barrel to meet our income needs, Dangote needs 5m barrels. Until we are able to produce 25m barrel before we can satisfy everything. If we produce 22m, Our income need will take precedent, Dangote will get 2 locally and source for 3m barrels anywhere he can get it
U are only pointing to the already established fact that Buhari's government was dishonest when they set in motion their propaganda machine singing Dangote refinery commencement of operation will lead to more FX for us and also lead to end in PMS importation.

The 20% stake in Dangote was more of NNPC tying scarce FX down to fund a business that will only generate Dividend for NNPC as an investor. It's not going to do all of the other stuff Buhari's government used propaganda to claim.

Simple.

I don't know why Dangote has to import crude, but i think importing crude is better than importing petrol

One the refinery will work and employ people even if na 500 or 1000 people that's some people off the unemployment lane

Versus we just import refined petrol alone
Nobody has disputed any of these. But the idea of importing crude was never discussed at any point in time when NNPC was acquiring 20% stake in Dangote's refinery.

All that was discussed in the media space was that the Dangote refinery commencing production will put an end to fuel importation and thereby earn save us more Fx . Now all that is looking like a pipe dream.

Employment generation has never been an issue; we all know people (mostly Nigerians) will work in the facility na.

I agree on the petroleum minister - but Obj set the precedent and when you see the madness that went on under diezani you will know why.

Unfortunately 234next that was reporting on everything was basically starved to death. No one would advertise in the paper.

When you curse Tinubu remember that the reason why newspapers can report a lot of things today is because an opposition rose and pushed pdp out.

Diezani was giving oil blocks to Chris aire a celebrity jeweler. Then her shenanigans with Kola aluko and some other guy I forget. The woman was something else in kleptomania and matters were made worse by the fact that she was born with silver spoons sticking out of all orifices.
Making the president minister of petroleum is certainly not the solution; Buhari has proven that. Look at this NNPC-Dangote joint venture now; does it look like a decision taken under a bright president-cum-Petroleum minister?

It is possible there may be some respite if nnpc can sort out their shit and supply crude directly to dangote, but that remains to be seen.
How will they do that when we have part of our future oil production tied to Buhari loan repayment?

Honestly, the idea of president being petroleum minister should be discontinued in this country. Normally Senate supposed invite the petroleum minister to come and analyse to Nigerians how much oil production do we have currently, what proportion of it do have pledged to future loan repayment and how much can we spare Dangote. These things should not be shrouded in secrecy.

But I'm sure even if they invite the president who doubles as minister for petroleum , they won't really drill him like they would an ordinary minister. It's just going to be about sham show.

You have answered the question.

If nnpc want to take 20% stake and pay for it - why say no when you need the FX and also being part of nnpc will immediately eliminate all their nonsense red tape?

The onus is on the clowns at nnpc to get their shit together. One can only hope.
Dangote has no problem na ; who go see free capital being invested into his business and he go say no ?

So NNPC and Buhari the substantial minister for petroleum carry a couple of billion dollars go tie am down for private business that will not make PMS price reduce on the nearest future and dem dey do propaganda up and down. 🤦‍♂️

maybe not so much intellectual dishonesty as intellectual laziness - or maybe everyone just convinced themselves that oil theft would somehow magically disappear or maybe no one wanted to tell the ogas at the top what they did not want to hear

or it is bleeped up project management where all the variables and risks are not thought through
That's a whole lot of maybes in there.

No progressive economy is run on this much uncertainty . I don't want to believe the people in NNPC are not dunces , the people who worked in Buhari's government are dunces and Dangote and his expatriates are dunces .

In fact I read Dangote planned everything really well and knew what he was doing siting the refinery in Lagos . If he was planning on banking on naija crude he would've sited his refinery in Rivers , maybe Bonny Island or anywhere in the south south closer to our oil fields .

Instead he sited it in Lagos and designed his refinery such that he will receive feedstock via tanker vessels

thats a chart of our production

i cannot say, because i dont know if oil theft can be really and truly brought down

ironically, that may be up to wicked wike.
See let's look at it this way:

1. In September 2021 NNPC acquired 20% interest in Dangote refinery for $2.76 billion

https://www.thecable.ng/nnpc-35000-bpd-pledged-to-raise-funds-for-20-stake-in-dangote-refinery

2. As of March 2021 Buhari's administration had borrowed N17.06 trillion , using the N381 exchange rate with repayment of those loans tied to our oil production

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/489041-inside-nigerias-debt-crisis-how-foreign-loan-under-buhari-triples-past-govts-combined-figure.html

3. Remember NNPC is in charge of our oil and they ordinarily ought to have historical data and current data of oil production.

Now My question is this: Why did NNPC acquire 20% interest in Dangote refinery and busy selling dream of cheap PMS consequent upon operation of Dangote refinery when they know we don't have enough stock to feed Dangote for that happen?

Is that not intellectual dishonesty on their part? And as Izzou pointed out too; the modular refineries they are licensing here and there.... Where will those ones get their feedstock ? Shey they will also import crude like Dangote?

When we say Buhari took the country backwards by 50 years this is what we mean cos the Fx pumped into this Dangote-NNPC joined venture is one of the problems we have today

dangote is importing crude because nigeria is not producing enough crude for export and internal use - because oil theft has been allowed to become a malignant cancer

it is one of teh ironies of Nigeria that we have to live with - Tompolo was being paid huge sums in what was basically protection money, but once he was declred persona non-grata, oil theft rose to a point where nigeria was producing at 50 to 75% capacity

it is only now NNPC is really attmpting to stem oil theft. before now it was just another source of money for task force and co.

so here we are.
Are u saying If Nigeria was producing at 100% capacity we would have enough to give Dangote ?

Let's take these issues one after the other. Is it oil theft that has made us unable to have enough to supply Dangote or our future pledge of crude for loan repayment?

These are the issues !

Something stinks about the Dangote refinery matter . So Dangote will be importing crude oil as feedstock which means whatever product he defines will be sold to Nigeria in USD .

Then u begin to ask why did NNPC buy 20% stake in the company knowing we don't have crude oil to provide Dangote as feedstock ? Yet they sold fake dream to the people that price of PMS will be cheaper once the refinery becomes functional ?

This is another evidence that the Buhari led APC propaganda-run government was the worst we ever experienced in this country making head scratching decisions here and there.🤦‍♂️

the Lagos blue line and red line projects were supposed to be completed in 2014 as an example

i have also worked within a situation where the company was broke and we had limited moeny and had to completely neglect some parts of the business.

on a personal note

i have a client owing since november who have delayed ny payment for multiple issues accrual, we are under audit [ i just heard they had a fire in their server room and i freaked out]
i had a falling out with a client who we invested a lot of energy into at the expense of other opportunities
i have a contract which was supposedly in the bag since novemeber - but everyday a new requirement comes up.
i had an engagement that was supposed to commence in april last year - which finaly came through in december

all of these mean cash flow issues which will impact on plans and commitments

now take my expereinces and apply a geometric progreesion to them. that is how it is. yes you will plan and strategize. but there will always be one setback or another. you have to keep moving.

the irony is YOU know and understand all of this because you work in a business enviroment where targets objectives and aspirations are confined by budget/funding and operating enviornment .
You lost me on this one bro.

Obi's campaign worked with a budget and LP has most likely submitted the reports of their spendings on Obi's campaign to INEC in compliance with electoral act by now since it's already past six months since the election.

Obi making the report public was his prerogative at the request of a party chieftain. He has further requested that the report be audited.

For now all u can do is wait for the audit to either indict Obi or acquit him of any financial recklessness as a candidate of the party. U do not get to be flay him for acting right given the circumstance of things.

Yeah , I know the law expects them to submit the report to INEC and not public .

But Peter Obi made his own public at the request of his party members . Now APC supporters want to drag him for being transparent and instead of acting like Tinubu who was spending dollars to hire lawyers to block FBI and CIA from releasing his past records in far away America .

Which law abeg, like prosper said PDP don't need to submit nada
Did they ask anyone for money?
In order to promote accountability and transparency in political finance in Nigeria, the political parties are expected to file three reports to the election management bodies, i.e. INEC. The first is the annual report. S. 86. (1) of the Act says “Every political party shall submit to the Commission a detailed annual statement of assets and liabilities and analysis of its sources of funds and other assets, together with statement of its expenditure including hard and soft copy of its list of members or in such a form as the Commission may require”

The second is election contribution report, S.90 (4) of the Act says “A political party sponsoring the election of a candidate shall, within three months after the announcement of the results of the election, file a report of the contributions made by individuals and entities to the Commission.” The third is the election expenses report. S.89 (3) of the Act says “Election expenses of a political party shall be submitted to the Commission in a separate audited return within six months after the election….”
No be write the law bro. The PDP will submit report of all contributions they received from members, private individuals and entities just like other political parties. They will also submit report of their election expenses. Na electoral act mandate them to do so

at least he admits to what you have been denying - that he is the defacto leader of the party. the buck stops at his table and he is ultimately responsible for anything going on in his party. we are still waiting for the audit firm to be appointed. any minute now . . .



Peter obi ran as atikus vice in 2019. he would have run again as his vice in 2023.

Wetin be this? That's English now. He says he's a member of the party , but they say he is the leader. Like u don't get his point ?

He further went ahead to say he has gone ahead to discuss with the party's leadership.

For the party (LP), I am a member of the party and they have chosen to say that I am the leader. What we need to do in the party and I have discussed it with the leadership is that we must now appoint a reputable audit firm to audit and be able to deal with the account of the part
What excatly did I say that was different from what he said there? He is a member of the party, they chose to call him the leader but he, me and u know that's not true. He then went ahead to discuss with the real leaders who are the NWC to carry out an audit.

What excatly do u want him to do again? He should kill himself while Tinubu mismanage the country ?

U have only waited 21 days after he released the campaign financial records. We have been waiting for almost a year for UAE to lift visa restrictions on Nigeria, We have been waiting almost a year for CNG buses to hit the streets, We have been waiting almost a year for student loans to materialize, We have been waiting for almost a year for dollar to go back to at least N600.

It is not apc members who are wilding out on social media accusing each other right left and center while Tinubu looks on helplessly, unable to maintain unit discipline and coherence

I can only hope his silence is not because he too is implicated in this.

https://punchng.com/understanding-new-campaign-finance-law-in-nigeria/

By law the presidential expenses of a campaign should not exceed 5bn

Maybe it is only businesses that are supposed to track their funding and spend to ensure they are not in contravention.

Your argument is that a political party should not have a proper framework for finance and a proper set of rules, but should be freestyled.

You are seeing the results of free styling in real time. Hopefully this mess will lead to properly laws of campaign finance going forward.
Ok, Good! I like this.

1. In January 2024 A chieftain of LP in an open letter requested that Obi gives an account of his campaign funds.

2. In February 2024 Obi releases records of his campaign spendings made available to him by his party's leadership. He didn't stop there, he called for his party's National Working committee to further. (The news was actually reported on February 15th, 2024)

3. The link u posted stated the maximum a candidate is allowed to spend on campaign is N5bn and Obi's campaign had cost N3.5bn .

Now anybody who read ur post earlier would've thought Atiku and Tinubu had released their respective campaign financial report, that they had appointed auditors to audit the records and that only Peter Obi is lagging behind on this.

U might no like to admit the fact , but definitely Peter Obi is a different stock from those other candidates u are trying so hard to equate him to.

As regards being incoherent and looking on helplessly; that is exactly what Tinubu is doing as far as our economy is concerned. This is evident in how things have fallen apart and we are closer to anarchy than we are to a renewed hope. Like the economy and the balance in this country is shaking like Tinubu's arms during the campaign bro
