One of the rules of investing is to only invest money you can do away with...not to use your daily living expense money. That's bad advice
The rule of savings is how ever little money can be saved. That's why your house ends in your tummy and slippers

Good Morning My Good People of Nairaland. I saw a post sometimes in May this year from one GRAMMARJAMES on how he began saving from January through "MorteinBank". And I was motivated to do same. (attached is the link).

https://www.nairaland.com/5871337/check-out-what-saved-piggybank

I began saving also from that month and I decided to break open my "MorteinBank". I was so so shocked on what Ive saved from May 2020 to yesterday. Savings is good o, no matter how little you earn, just try and save something.
...and see me o, Na Barb I dey barb for one local koro like that.

I was able to save 95,000. Attached is the pishuur after the cut "as Una dey talk
.
Christmas don set be dat,
You Started well. Your finishing is bad

By saying Christmas Don set, it means you want to squander.


Let me advice you


Put the money in a fixed deposit for six months where you can't withdraw. Start another set. When it reaches 105k withdraw and add to the 95k. That makes it 200k.

Invest it in a year long business that you can make 200/300k. This means you'll have 400/500k. Then scale up your business activities


Don't be a waster please. Be investment-minded?

So you think everyone here is ignorant and you can bamboozle us with your nonsense.

Building a pipeline from Nigeria to Europe is the most ridiculous thing I have heard this year, Nigeria's entire annual budget would not even be enough to finance that project.

I challenge you to publish a signed document that lays credence to that project such as the Final Investment Decision (FID) and I will pay you $1,000 now

Atypical. Black race and the argument from emotions rather than actual events.


Anyways,since you assume I'm broke. I take up the challenge but give you back $960. Spend $40 look for a project research assistant on the forum. Pay whomever suits your desireability $40 to do the digging for you,in a week you'll have your reply. If I'm not correct,I owe you 100,000 Naira

A large percentage of Nigerian Citizens are Greedy, Ignorant, Myopic, Negligent and Nonchalant. What If I tell you more than 50% of her population doesn't even know exactly what Is going on, They are primarily concerned about Feeding, Shelter, Gossiping, And most Importantly PROCREATION.

That's true. I don't comment at all on the forum. Not done these in years. Perhaps next time I would,it will be in three years time. Just wanted to dish out some postulations and hypothesis of mine out

Stop talking rubbish it does not make economic sense to build an undersea pipeline from Nigeria to Europe.

Most countries in Europe are even phasing out fossil fuel powered cars and moving to electric vehicle therefore this project makes no sense!

I have explained a bit about risk management to you. Scale or miniature.....it's all about risk management. Risk management is a full blown course on its own if you would like to take, you will appreciate better.
I'm also speaking about overall cumulative impact. I've addressed this in earlier comments. Check page two. Where I spoke about decentralization rather than single production facility

you do know flaring was inevitable as a result of our own government who wasn't ready to develop our domestic gas market and invest in massive gas infrastructures. Some of the chaos you see in the niger delta and its environs are most times perpetuated by the locals who bunker crude from oil lines. Ofcourse EIA can't cover for that... grin grin

Bottom line is if a company like shell plans to construct any pipeline or build a facility work can't commence until an EIA study is carried out and an approval secured from DPR and FMENV. But for dangote who owns the country I doubt if any mumu dpr can stop him.
Not true


I've been offered work opportunity to work in Saipem/Agip refinery/petrochemical fields before now


On the floor of the Senate the IOCs were given many years to develop capacity to curtail gas flaring but they refused to take heed and didn't do anything about it


How many Nigerians know they themselves submitted a draft that they would work over a 20 years timeline to end gas flaring by 2002. Has that stopped till today?

Why not ?


Deliberate environmental sabotage. So when you see the Bonny and Ogoni communities sueing them to court,it's not because of money. But because they have come to know the damage done would gulp years and years and years and huge resources to clean up and reclaim.

an idiot is always an idiot anywhere. if the community has taken bribe to allow a Chinese company to pollute their environment for peanuts then whose concern is it? An EIA is a legal document. it binds the community and the Investor on environmental issues. therefore if the community want to chop kobo kobo at the expense of their future wetin concern agbero with overload.
The community didn't take bribe

Will any industry on Earth tell you they would be realewsojg toxic henicals into your environment

either way ppl are still gonna die. We have just 2 refineries and ppl are still dying daily meanwhile the USA has more than 10 and they are doing just fine man so the pros outweighs the cons. At least our chemical engineering graduates looking for jobs will reduce a bit plus more foreign investments to boost the already dead economy so if a few has to die for the greater good then so be it.
We speak holistically.

The environment safety mechanisms USA would put and Nigeria you should agree would be different


Ask farmers since two years there's been chaotic weather no rain in some parts,some parts flood. Why carbon emission

The pollutants our industries and automobiles generate is equivalent ten refineries now add five new refineries. You can never compare America with Nigeria



Go and check the gloabl rankings in Air purity and pollutants currently without functional refineries go and check and see the ratings yourself...

You still don't understand this?
Every single project will have different EIA. It doesn't mean they are right or Dangote was wrong. Every single project will be separately analysed. No basis for comparison.
I've been to several developed countries and so many major industries are cited in the cities including refineries.
Capacity in question capacity. 65000 bpd is different from 650000bpd

Never said industries can't be in cities as many industries are in cities globally. But, extremely heavy scale 650bpd. I also expressed myself with 50% cyance of being wrong

However perfect it's operational systems are,there will be bcklash and you should agree with me Sir.

funny enough these EIAs are much enforced for IOcs operating in the country. Infact without an EIA approved no site construction can commence. But I do know other companies can bribe their way through.
I took a tour back in the years when the whole Niger Delta issue broke out to the media

I was young but wanted first hand reports of my hand report of my own. On touching ground I was crying. Where are the so-called EIAs.

Example gas flaring was sanctioned by the Country to oil extractive and producing companies as far back as second term of Obasanjo. I don't know if till date Shell and it's crook peers has stopped the madness they do in ND


EIAs appeal to mid-term companies. For higher companies, organizations and individuals we all know there's a seperate law altogether..
Let's just hope we skeptics are wrong which I'm open to


I want to assume it's designers in its blueprints put everything together for smooth working without issues to the environment.

While I speak against, it's simply to the soul of the society. I'm happy if I'm wrong and if they did the right thing.

bayelsaowei:
youre correct. And again the regulstors that approve these permits are dpr and federal ministry of environment. A huge bribery sum can just close the EIA thing out.
I can bet my coin on it that as long as Nigeria is concerned that's nothing like EIA. If EIA is considered realistically as we assume no abbatoirs in Nigeria will still be open.

I speak realistically. All abbatoirs I've seen in my life in this country, if not God has so much bastardized all the water bodies around it in a way that it's only God that has/is preventing breakout of epidemic. From Kara to Cele Ijesha to Oko Oba etc. I've never seen EIA swung into action in any industrial activity if not what's happening in Niger Delta won't be happening


I stay close to a Chinese firm. It you see the hundreds of thousands of chemicals pumped into the water bodies you will fear. Why has any government organization not closed them. An entire large water body miles afar off is smelling badly from these chemicals.

I'm not a yoruba man. The era I was born and all through growing up, we were thought to reason and discuss intellectually without adding emotions and all to it. And it's easy for a blind to see that the refinery is stationed where it is for fast access to the ocean for fast access to the international markets and for profits. And whatever assessment was looked into before its establishment blinded it access to an holistic impact of its presence there.

Would Italy just sit back as the presence modern era of Libya while Germany pulls of a mega deal with them. Use your brain


Is the Nordics not exposed to the exact or rather even more extreme weather conditions than Germany who was sourcing for what it termed stable alternative to gas



Please. Go do your studies about the successes of Gazprom and Russia as a while around the 2000/2004 window as against the time after Gazprom became a hit. Even if we assume it considered Russia.


I feel sorry for all your abroad living. You're nothing but a fool who sits on the fence has nothing to contribute to societal issues but only seeking for loopholes to puncture to drag colour and discredit..


After you date back your thinking faculty to the window of this deal, then ask yourself the conditions of those your so called alternatives. Even to as far as Iraq and Iran that recently came onstream

They must have done the Environmental Impact Assessment / Analysis with the state government. And I'm sure there will be quite robust risk mitigation / control measures in place for all foreseeable hazards.

You are quite wrong in your general conclusion that industries are cited in the forest. Whilst it could be a very good practice in reducing the effect of a "major top-event", Risk management in the business world is all about bringing the risk to ALARP/ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Practicable /or Achievable). Both of which is a function of cost/projected revenue.

Ever wonder why airports are cited in the cities?
With all the noise pollution, with the risk of plane dropping/ditching on you while you are sleeping?
Why city? Why not in the forest? This is what risk management is all about. You go into the business despite the risk and you CONTINUOUSLY and PROACTIVELY manage the risk.

So, they look at the POTENTIAL and the FREQUENCY of the risk then put adequate controlling/safety MEASURES in place.

Potential: Can a plane drop on your roof? Answer is Yes.
Frequency: How often does a plane drop down unto people's roof? Maybe 1-in every 50,000 flights, or once in 10years.
Measures: Pilots are re-trained, technologies are improved, Planes are regularly serviced and Inspected. etc.

Is the risk brought to ALARP with all the measures in place?....hmmm. Maybe the frequency has improved to 1 in 75,000flights or 1 in 15years. So considering the money to be made have we managed the risk well.... Certainly it has improved.

In conclusion, no business is risk free. You only manage the risks. And if you think you have totally eliminated all risks...how about the "act of God, natural disasters et al..... (Earthquakes, volcano eruption, flooding, tsunamis etc)
2 refineries that follows the ranks of Dangote are earmarked to be situated in forests.
