It seems there are some things igbos have seen that other Nigerians are yet to see even with all the intelligentsia at their disposal

LordofNaija:
Wike is doing campaign after elections. He has become unpopular because of his greed

jkpbestseries:
Everyone knows Appeal court has bleeped Up, but that is where the cases of the legislators end. He should not start another problem, 2027 will right all the wrong.

flokii:
The video here proves nothing.. it's more of a rally for votes for his political party APC at the grassroots.
In order to avoid trouble.. Sit at home.

BluntCrazeMan:
3rd-February-2024 is very close.

You will see for yourself.

vanbonattel:
You opened this thread to curse, and spite the people of Rivers state. I know your type, the types that are still not comfortable to drop tribalism and ethnic profiling.

Try and change your life this year.

Blackfire:
Can I slap thus man?

ManirBK:
petrol @200 with Tinubu as head of state before end of the year

immortalcrown:
Nigeria is rotten. Is IPMAN supposed to have this kind of relationship with a governor?

An independent body? This reminds me of the day government teachers were mandated to gather together to campaign for a governorship candidate. One day, INEC will congratulate someone for a political victory.

Hopefully the cabal doesn't sabotage this

THE Dangote Petroleum Refinery has sought the approval of the Federal Government to hit the domestic market with diesel and aviation fuel.


The approval is expected from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, which is responsible for the regulation of midstream and downstream petroleum operations in Nigeria.


Meanwhile, checks by Sunday Vanguard, weekend, indicated that refined products are currently stored in the refinery’s storage tanks while awaiting approval.

In a statement, the company stated: “We have started the production of diesel and aviation fuel, and the products will be in the market within this month once we receive regulatory approvals.

“This is a big day for Nigeria. We are delighted to have reached this significant milestone. This is an important achievement for our country as it demonstrates our ability to develop and deliver large capital projects. This is a game changer for our country, and I am very fulfilled with the actualisation of this project.

“The refinery has so far received six million barrels of crude oil at its two SPMs located 25 kilometres from the shore. The first crude delivery was done on December 12, 2023, and the 6th cargo was delivered on January 8, 2024.

“The Refinery can load 2,900 trucks a day at its truck-loading gantries. The products from the Refinery will conform to Euro V specifications. The refinery design complies with the World Bank, US EPA, European emission norms, and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) emission/effluent norms. Employing state-of-the-art technology.

“I must extend our sincere appreciation to our Bankers and financiers, both local and offshore, who demonstrated a great deal of patience, in seeing us through many difficult times. In the same vein, we thank the Government of Lagos State, under the leadership of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who has been incredibly proactive in ensuring that the many challenges we encountered in the course of executing this project were quickly resolved. I thank him immensely.”

“I also sincerely thank our host communities and their Traditional leaders for their sustained patience, forbearance, and admirable willingness to work with us to find amicable and win-win resolutions to the many issues we have had to deal with as the construction of this huge facility progressed. Our staff have also contributed so immensely to the success of this project. I thank them profusely.”


Meanwhile, President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support, encouragement, and thoughtful advice towards the actualisation of this project.


Dangote also thanked the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Limited), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), NMDPRA and Nigerians for their support and belief in the historic project.

He said: “We thank President Bola Tinubu for his support and for making our dream come true. This production, as witnessed today, would not have been possible without his visionary leadership and prompt attention to detail. His intervention at various stages cleared all impediments thereby accelerating the actualisation of the project. We also thank the NNPC, NUPRC and NMDPRA for their support. These organisations have been our dependable partners in this historic journey.”

In a telephone interview with Sunday Vanguard, the Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber, NJ Ayuk, said: “We are excited to see that the Dangote Refinery has secured its crude cargoes. This is a significant milestone, both for the country and the West African region at large. With a capacity to produce 350,000 barrels per day, the refinery holds particular significance for the country, where reliance on fuel imports has been a defining feature for decades, despite its over 37 billion barrels of proven reserves.”

“This cargo will see diesel, aviation fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas produced, followed shortly thereafter by the production of Premium Motor Spirit. These products will enable the country to become self-sufficient while exporting to regional neighbours. This, in turn, will strengthen the fiscal dynamics, putting an end to fuel subsidies, high prices and inconsistent supply, thereby setting a strong benchmark for other resource-rich countries in Africa.”


Similarly, the Chairman of International Energy Services, Dr Diran Fawibe, said: “This is a welcome development that will create many multiplier effects, including additional job opportunities. Any producing country would want to allocate a share of its local production to refining and that makes the industry complete.”

Mr Seun please caution Pakute . We love peace but when violence is presented, we threat it with equal and opposite reaction

A former governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, has described the recent Appeal Court judgements which removed some lawmakers elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the National and State Assemblies, as a miscarriage of justice of a great proportion.

Jang, who once represented Plateau North in the Senate, said the judgements by the Appellate Court have robbed the people of their rightful representatives.

LEADERSHIP reports that some PDP National and State Assembly members from Plateau State were recently sacked from their legislative seats by the courts over disobedience to court order by their party to conduct lawful congresses in the State.

However, the state governor, Caleb Mutfwang, also elected on the platform of the PDP in the 2023 general election, survived when the Supreme Court on Friday affirmed his election.

Jang, in a statement issued in Jos by his media consultant, Comrade Clinton Garuba, while reacting to the legal victory of Governor Mutfwang at the Supreme Court, said the government of Plateau State and the PDP had already petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC) to review all the judgements involving the state that were delivered by the Court of Appeal which effectively stopped those that have been elected to the National and the State Assemblies from representing their constituencies.

Referring to those pronounced winners by the Appeal Court, Jang said: “It has become an abnormality for them to remain as legislators when they could not win elections at the poll, this should not be allowed to stand.”

According to the former governor, the authorities must give back to the people their true representatives and restore their mandate, adding that they will continue to support the government of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who in his only eight months of stay in office, has done what the previous administration under former Governor Simon Lalong could not accomplish in eight years.

Jang called on the good people of Plateau State to stand very united as they are going to come out strong at the end of the day, stressing that the governor’s victory at the Supreme Court was a victory for democracy and against the wishes of anti-democratic forces, recalling with sadness how anti-democratic forces tried as much as possible to manipulate the will of the people without success

“We must thank the justices for upholding the Rule of Law thereby affirming the long-held belief that the judiciary is the last hope of the common man. We thank them for not allowing themselves to be manipulated because we are aware that the same forces of darkness, in their usual manner, had wanted to thwart the mandate of the people, plunge the state into disarray and set us years backwards.”

NwaAmaikpe:



Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I will never endorse violence, but was it fair of him to be having a threeesome in the same hostel where another woman was dying from conji, and still rub it on her face by moaning so hard?

To live at peace with your female neighbors, ensure you allow all of them have a taste of the P before bringing in women to your house for the same.

NLCreator:
Some vengeful supporters of Tinubu are urging Seun to reconsider his stance on tribalism, particularly the name checkers association, as they label the recent regime as boring. They claim that the Igbos have already had their turn with bigotry and insist that it's their turn now. Their argument revolves around the perceived unfairness of Seun restoring sanity, deeming the decision as making Nairaland a dull place.

In an open letter, Mr. Pakute pleads with the moderators to refrain from deleting their hate speech, stating that it's "pushing them away from this forum."

Godwin4444 alleges that Seun implemented the rule to compel people to vote for an Igbo person, claiming Seun did the same thing during the last election but lost.

Last week, Omenka grew frustrated and attempted to deactivate his account, but an algorithm prevented it, he claimed. Accusing Seun of holding Nairalanders hostage, Omenka labels Seun a coward for allowing himself to be manipulated by "the dogs" he "created." He concludes by begging Seun to delete all his posts and to "enable those of us who desire to leave the forum to do so in peace," as anything otherwise is equivalent to holding them hostage.

While Seun's decision to end bigotry on Nairaland is celebrated by well-meaning members, the opposite sentiment prevails in Tinubu's camp, raising suspicions about who the perpetrators have been all along.

The ban is a pure violation of the freedom of speech and right to expression. The ban should be lifted. Nigerians should be allowed to say what they like on this faceless forum. This is not a government forum that's geared towards national unity. It's a faceless forum designed to promote free speech for everybody.

Wisereborn:
You can go and add it yourself

And for the record, that man stole money enough to be rich than many countries

So please drop the state

Salubata:
It's of expectation for him not to speak too much.

The judgement came with negotiation because the electoral law is very clear as regarding unstamped ballot papers
