Congratulation Nigerians for the bullet we dodged

MightySparrow:
What pains did Obasanjo leave behind?
He met Nigeria in a mess, did his best as military, twenty years later, Nigeria Airways he left with 20 or 30 aircrafts had none.

Osinbajo held the helms of office while his boss was in London. Things changed. His boss resumed, then a relapse.

This is a yoruba person, the only black people that used television in Africa before any other tribes even before France.

Why are your people finding greener pastures in Yorubaland? If alone, do you think Yorubaland would have this problem?
I beg let him be jare.

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, has expressed sadness that most Nigerians will be celebrating this year’s Christmas on empty stomachs due to bad leadership.


He said this in his Christmas message to Nigerians, on Sunday.


Abure, however, called on Nigerians to let the lessons learn from the birth of Jesus Christ guide our lives individually and collectively in other to make the world a beautiful place to live.

The LP National Chairman said, “Nigeria is an example of a nation which God created and ensured that abundance of deposits of resources are huge enough to make us a giant nation.

“Nigeria must have been created as a perfect example of ‘heaven on earth’ but leadership has remain the bane and today, in spite of the abundance of resources, Nigeria is ranked as one of the poorest nations in the world.

“Today, most Nigerians would be celebrating the Christmas in empty stomach due to bad leadership.

“A few days ago, the APC led government with fanfare and heart-thumbing, came up with a policy that guarantees reduction by half, transportation for holiday markers.

“And I sometimes query the level of advise this government gets. In a nation of over two hundred million persons, the government employed the services of only 5 transport company, in addition to the rail services which completely excluded a particular Christian dominated zone.

“The beneficiaries of this social scheme will be less that 0.05 percent of Nigerians.


“The question has always been, what happens after the yuletide when the scheme would have cease to function. Would government also subsidize transport system in Nigeria as it boasted months ago?

“Schools will be opening in early January, how do the poverty stricken Nigerian grapple with that chaos waiting to happen?

“Did it ever occur to this government that a good percentage of those Nigerians travelling may never return to their base due to economic strangulation perpetuated by this government as one of its economic policies?”

He further said, “Christmas is known as the day of remembrance for the birth of Jesus Christ but beyond that significance, it is the remembrance of the day Heaven came down to the earth for the sake of redemption of mankind. His coming was to bring joy to the world by reconciling humanity with divinity.

“He came to make the world a better place but today that purpose is being defeated by the evil actions of men.


“The destiny of nations is being changed by men in the position of authority and the will of God is being continuously subverted by power hijackers.

“In all these uncertainty facing millions of Nigeria, I will still wish Nigerians a happy celebration and also plead with them to keep fate alive because a new Nigeria is not just possible but is already on the horizon.”

jara:
Only in Nigeria would IBB brag about his rule:

Murtala Mohammed gave up the loot he made during the Nigerian Civil War and paid with his life trying to clean up corruption. Obasanjo, the most benevolent dictator Nigeria ever had, said it: if Jesus Christ came down to Nigeria, he would be corrupt. So in his second coming as civilian President, he looted his own share of national cake. Gowon, became as poor as Obasanjo after his first reign as military Head of State. But under Ibrahim Banbangida, in a single audacious scoop, the $12 billion Oil Windfall disappeared in a jiffy. IBB, the first Head of State linked to the drug mule: Gloria Okon disappeared. IBB supported the Police and Army “family allowance” at roadside checkpoints. He canceled Nigeria fairest Election audaciously.

Rehabilitation has been completed on the 60,000 old refinery as promised while second one with 150,000 capacity would be completed Q4,2024.
You headless mobs always dey look for something wey no lost, your Agulu fraud has lost forever, make una rest.

Emefiele and BUHARI is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria


TULUMBU will be a plague

Contrary to information by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited that the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) has commenced operations, sources close to the rehabilitation project told
LEADERSHIP Sunday yesterday that it still has some way to go before it is fully operational.

The PHRC is capable of producing 60,000bpd (at full capacity), which, if refined, could yield about 10.1m litres of petrol or roughly one-third of Nigeria’s estimated daily consumption.

The four state-owned decrepit refineries with a combined 450,000 barrels per day, 110,000 barrels Kaduna plant in the north and three units in the oil-rich Niger Delta, including the 125,000 barrels Warri refinery, have been shut for years.

The four local refineries in Nigeria, including Port Harcourt, had stopped operations in 2019, causing problems in the country’s fuel supply.

In August, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, the minister of state for Petroleum Resources, visited the PHRC and announced that it would start working again by the end of the year.

The federal government had in 2021 approved the sum of $1.5 billion to fix the Port Harcourt refinery.

Subsequently, an Italian company, Maire Tecnimont, was chosen to do the repair work, in three phases. The first phase aims to get the refinery running at 90 per cent capacity within 18 months.

However, sources told LEADERSHIP Sunday that the refinery was hurriedly commissioned with ‘flare start-off’ on Thursday in Rivers State in order to meet the deadline which Lokpobiri set on behalf of the government in October this year.

The sources and top industry players told LEADERSHIP Sunday that the Port Harcourt refinery was not yet completed.

On Thursday, in a brief ceremony at the refinery, Lokpobiri had announced the “mechanical completion” and the “flare start-off” of the country’s biggest crude refinery during a media tour of the Port Harcourt refinery.

He said: “Just to announce to Nigerians the fulfillment of our pledge to bring on stream phase one of the Port Harcourt refinery by the end of 2023 and the subsequent streaming of phase two in 2024. We happily announced the mechanical completion and the flare start-off on the 20th of December 2023.”

The source said: “Imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was fed into the bottom of the flare to provide fuel, to light the flare instead of the normal flue gas produced from the refinery.

“This action allowed a picture of the flare to be taken, pretending that the refinery had started operations. The picture was taken within a few minutes. The flare was shut down immediately after. The rehabilitation work was not completed! That cannot happen in the foreseeable future.”

Another top official of NNPCL in the refinery told LEADERSHIP Sunday: “The Port Harcourt refinery cannot make any products in the foreseeable future, because the units cannot take in crude oil for processing. The rehabilitation work has NOT been completed. The federal government and NNPC know this truth but will not admit it publicly. In fact, no crude oil has been supplied to the refinery to date, for the same reason.”

Another senior official said: “Look at the flare! Look at the crude cargo! Look at the inspection visits! All meaningless.”

But the oil minister Lokpobiri said the ceremony heralds the commencement of production of petroleum products after the Christmas break.

He thanked Nigerians for their patience and trust in the NNPC to deliver on its promise and mandate of rehabilitating the refineries.

“This is also another landmark of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Congratulations to NNPC and congratulations to Nigerians,” he stated.

The chairman of Board of NNPC Limited, Pius Akinyelure, on his part had expressed satisfaction about the new development.

Akinyelure said his team had promised President Tinubu that the refinery would begin operations in 2023.

He recalled that the refinery had undergone several phases of rehabilitation, noting that the commencement of operations would keep fuel costs stable.

All efforts to get information from the Italian company, Maire Tecnimont yesterday were abortive as emailed enquiries sent to the media consultant of the company were not responded to at the time of going to press.

However, responding to LEADERSHIP Sunday’s enquiries, chief corporate communications officer, NNPC, Olufemi Soneye, said that over the past month, NNPC Ltd had released a three-part documentary detailing completed works, equipment installation, and mechanical completion of the Port Harcourt Refinery.

“It’s crucial to note that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery (OPHR) being rehabilitated is 60,000 barrels per day, not 210, 000. The NNPC has communicated that the mechanical completion phase will be ready by December. The remaining steps include testing lines, checking for leaks, blowing and drying lines, flushing, steam out, equipment calibration, and then introducing hydrocarbons. Testing for air in the lines is vital to prevent potential explosions, aligning with global best practices.

“While eagerness exists to complete the project, it’s essential for NNPC Ltd, as a global energy company, to conduct all necessary checks and testing,” Soneye said.
Commenting on the developments, general secretary, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASAN), Lumumba Okugbawa, said the refinery was still undergoing test running, adding that Nigeria should be happy that something is happening to the refinery after many years of abandonment.

“They can cut the tape. Work is still ongoing in the refinery. In the refinery, there will be a calibration test, and other test-runs. The refinery will come up fully for production after all test-runs have been completed, hopefully by first quarter of next year.

“Nigeria should also note that the coming up of the refinery will not automatically crash the price of fuel in Nigeria. Fuel from the refinery will be sold at international price,” he stated.

We Nigerians never said Peter Obi cannot attend burials or be taking selfies with Davido and Charlie Boy. That is his right duly guaranteed by law.

What we Nigerians are saying is that Peter Obi can never be president of Nigeria 🇳🇬

The wife of the President, Oluremi Tinubu, said on Saturday at the State House that the year 2024 would be glorious for Nigerians.

The First Lady said this in her Christmas message after she held a Christmas party for the children of Nana Berry Orphanage in Abuja.


She also advised parents to continue to give hope to their wards, saying: “As we go into the year 2024, our message should be how to transform the lives of the young ones.


“Whoever we are, we should stop talking about poverty in front of our children; we are not a poor nation; the wealthy ones should also take care of the poor ones and make them wealthy; that is all it takes.

“We have taken the issue of poverty out of context and it is really polluting the hearts of the young ones, but we have to give them hope and show them the life that is positive.

“We are entering a glorious year and those who believe that it is going to be glorious will enjoy it.”

The first lady, during the party, told the children a Bible story and advised parents to also imbibe the habit of teaching their children good morals for them to become great adults.

“Parents are supposed to tell the children Christmas stories; that is what we all grow up with. For this year’s Christmas, we have decided to change the trajectory of what Christmas represents in the State House.

“For us in this dispensation, we have to adopt a home per year; next year, another orphanage home would come so that the children can have a sense of well-being and give them a sense of belonging.

“They are all Nigerians; as you can see, they all have dreams like every one of us; bringing them here is for them to know that nothing is impossible; they too can become the person whom God will put in place of power like this.”
