PoliticsRe: Group Warns Against Sabotaging Dangote Refinery by budaatum: 3:08pm On Sep 27, 2025
See the "lovers" of their own interest!

Newsextra014:
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has directed its members to halt gas and crude oil supply to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, escalating the ongoing dispute between the union and refinery management.

The directive followed the alleged disengagement of over 800 Nigerian workers who recently unionised at the facility.

In a memo signed by PENGASSAN General Secretary, Comrade Lumumba Ighotemu Okugbawa, and circulated to branch chairmen of TotalEnergies E&P, Seplat Producing Nigeria, Renaissance, Chevron, Oando, Shell Nigeria Gas, and NGIC, the union instructed immediate shutdown of crude oil supply valves, suspension of vessel loading operations, and disconnection of gas supply to the refinery.

The statement accused the refinery management of “illegitimate” actions and of engaging in “misinformation and propaganda” instead of addressing labour concerns.

> “As you are aware, the Management of Dangote Petroleum Refinery has disengaged our members in reaction to the exercise of their constitutional right to being unionised.
They have gone further on a mission of misinformation and propaganda to justify this illegitimacy rather than engaging meaningfully with us to right the wrong.
Consequent to these, you are hereby directed to cut off gas supply to NGIC effective immediately. All crude oil supply valves to the Refinery should be shut, and the loading operation for vessels headed there should be halted,” the memo read in part.

This pains me!

I am a great fan of the Tour de France, the Giro, and the Vuelta, and every time I'm watching I'm dreaming in my head of a Tour of Nigeria, and here's Rwanda beating me to it.

In fact, Yoruba me, after thinking Tour de Odùdúwà one day, brought out a map and designed a Tour of Biafra to show us. Yes, I was being tribal. If Igbos can design such a thing in their own region showing all their beautiful terrain as the riders go by, that will pique interest I thought,

Of course we Yorubas can be first, but I somehow wish the Igbos would steal this thunder.

I'm also a fan of F1, and dream of F-Bajaj somewhere where cars are designed with Bajaj engines or those that will be made in Aba. It's a start. And made in Ibadan is not as much a thing, to the best of my knowledge.

Please forgive my îgnorant tribal bigotry. I'm just pained that Rwanda, that I know has been working at this for years, deservedly beat us to it.

Kukutente23:
If you have not experienced Nigerian education, it sounds racist to summarily dismiss it as inferior to British system.
I recall you claimed the Nigerian education system is modelled on the British, so let me now ask you to consider.

First, lets start with education budgets. How much does Nigeria and UK spend on education?

Do both countries spend the same amount per student?

Does the difference in expenditure per student make a difference?

Second. I hope you are aware that Nigeria uses a lot of Youth Coopers as teachers in schools. A school in my own Orolu Kingdom has a principal and five permanent teachers. The rest are corpers. Some are teaching subjects they did not major in, like a history major teaching English, and an engineer teaching chemistry.

Would you claim corpers are as experienced and capable to educate students as qualified teachers in UK are?

Would students, in your opinion, learn as much from corpers, as they might have learnt from experienced subject specific teachers?

Third. Do you know why our politicians steal our money to send their children to very expensive UK schools instead of leaving them in Nigerian schools?

And last. The minimum wage for a newly qualified teacher in UK is £32,916.

Please tell me what teachers get paid in Nigeria. Also tell me if, in your opinion, that Nigeria pay will sufficiently motivate and provide the resources that teachers might need to educate their students like they might in UK.

Other considerations would be the state of the class, the equipment and books available, the ideologies in the societies themselves etc, but I'll wait your responses to the above for now.

Indoctrination is to accept without questioning.
Education likewise has the same demand at its base
Education might indeed be indoctrination where you are (where are you by the way?), but the education system I have described to you that UK has that puts the 5ws in breast milk and is designed so senses are used to critically reason, is not the same as indoctrination, and is in fact it's opposite.

Stop being disingenuous. We are not talking about "all of humanity's problems" here, and no one is " painting" it so, yet, though I'm tempted.

If you let yourself be put in a scenario where your education is the indoctrinated type, your school is very likely scam, and you definitely will not have a brain that is trained to solve any problem at all.

And the opposite will be true if your education teaches you to use your brain instead of just believe what you are told.

Are you blaming the abuse of democracy in Nigeria on education now?
I think it's more to do with poverty than education
No, I am not "blaming the abuse of democracy in Nigeria on education".

I would however say, the faulty inadequate democracy we practise in Nigeria is because of our inadequate education system, which is insufficiently funded due to our poverty, and because we have not yet spent enough time practising democracy to learn it sufficiently yet.

Democracy itself educates. Not only do you learn from the consequences of your votes, you also learn to be democratic through practice, which is education.

Now, you might think democracy is just voting at elections, but it includes how you democratise information so it's easily accessed by the electorate. And that doesn't just mean giving information to the electorate, but includes the ability for them to critically consider, which involves the educated use of the senses so they are not just indoctrinated.

Electing ọmọ wa ni my same tribe or religious person, or the person giving out the biggest loaf of bread, does not show critical thought, and usually ends up with results that disappoint.

I would resist a religious imposition but the question is my reason for it. Is it because I genuinely detest imposition or that I'm not cultured to accept religious imposition as divine will?
The deeper one goes in religious indoctrination the more amenable one is to its imposition however illogical. Then, the religion takes a form of defence and its boundaries expand beyond personal comforts to a more legalistic realm
In my own opinion, you are not 'educated' if you are indoctrinated.

Take our conversation to date as an example. If you accept anything I say without questioning it like you rightly do, I will have indoctrinated you and you will ignorantly believe whatever I've said, but you would not have practised the 5Ws and as far as I am concerned you would not have been educated by me at all.

But if you refuse to accept whatever I tell you, and decide to go do your own research and find the truth out for yourself, then I have educated you, or to be more humble and more accurate, I would have facilitated your learning.

So, please know that the reason you are getting so much of my time and effort is because you are rightly opposed to my imposition because you are not amenable to my undivine will, and rightly so.

You seem to think these 5W are more critical to the stability and correct evolution of society than other social and economic factors.
Your description of learning makes it a bridge and not a base. You admit there was economic domination but think education led to liberation. It seems you're describing France more than England. You haven't shown that education and not economic repression led to the evolution of democracy.
If we leave education and remove economic domination, would the conditions still lead to democracy? Does history support this
People must be educational aware to fight for the removal of economic domination, and that fight is what made their rulers who economically dominated them to reluctantly accept democracy. Otherwise, they were ruled by emperors or kings who ruled by a heavenly mandate that no one dare oppose.

Democracy itself is educationally spread. Greece where it began was one of the more educated societies, as in more of its citizens were educated than many societies, and that's why they were advanced enough to democratise.

The 5Ws is at the core of the scientific revolution, which is very critical to the evolution of Britain and resulted in where we are today. Remove it and we'd be no more advanced and developed than some back water village full of ignorant people somewhere.

It however has nothing to do with your so called "stability", and is more likely to destabilise, as in, disrupt the status quo.

And there's nothing called "correct evolution", because there's nothing particularly correct about evolution, which just stumbles along blindly according to the environment in which it happens.

My question is if Rome forced Christianity on the inhabitants of England.
I see you want to admit no without saying no.
If you see me wanting to admit saying no, then I'm afraid you are making stuff up to see.

I'm telling you Christianity was literally forced on the inhabitants of England who had their own gods which they were reluctant to relinquish.

Kukutente23:
The fact is that Christianity has never been forced except for a brief moment and even that was after majority of Europe had become converted.
Britain is not majority of Europe. We were the outskirts of Europe that didn't particularly matter to the Roman Empire until much later in their empire history, and not much to the Church in Rome until even much more later than that.

Our conversion was not, they brought it and we just accepted it. The first attempt to Christianise Britain was in the 3rd century. There was resistance. The next concerted effort was in 597 AD, when Pope Gregory I sent St. Augustine to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. That was more peaceful but it's spread was limited. The eventual conversion of most of England was in 1066 when William the Conquer led the Norman conquest, and I hope I don't need to have to explain the implication of Conquer in his name and the conquest he achieved.

We valued our gods far too much than to just abandon them and peacefully accept some foreign God from Rome.

Kukutente23:
Neither did Africa or Asia ever experience force in receiving Christianity. This distinction is important in relation to the other religion and its political ideology
Are you saying Christianity was not imposed on Nigeria? Like they brought Christianity to our shores and we just abandoned our gods and accepted Christian gods?

I think you say this because you don't want to accept that it's imposition was pretty much similar to how Islam was spread. And that makes me ask, are you a Christian? For that will explain why you protest so much.

Wherever we British took our illustrious KJV, we forced people to abandon their gods and accept our God, usually after we had enslaved them. In most instances, the people capitulated much easier than some where a bottle of scotch did the job. But if scotch didn't work, we had these big things called ships that had these big noisy things called guns that we could intimidate you with if by the coast, and we had smaller guns we could point at you like from 500m away and shoot you dead like we were magicians, or sell to you if you served our purpose, which involved you abandoning your gods and accepting our God.

Go on, resist our God we brought you if you dare!

Know that we wrote the history of how we spread our KJV God, so don't expect us to write in our books we let you read, how barbaric and backward we were. Still, it's not too hard to know we came with a book and guns and a bottle of scotch and took you away to slave in our plantations around the world and forced our God on those we left behind.

Lol
Oya I ask
I'm honoured.

Learning, as in, education, and experience, and knowledge, is what has made those people evolve democratically out of the oppressive effects of being dominated economically.

You'd recall I said in a previous thread that the education system in UK does the 5 Ws of Who, What, When, Where, and Why. It sounds banal and simplistic, but the type of mind developed learning the implication of those simple words from a baby is different to that of a people who's emphasis is on belief as it is in some countries. Both minds will evolve in different directions and at different rates. There's also history, which is very important in some countries and not others.

These are what create the "will of the people" you mentioned. And the lack of these very simple things is what makes the will of a people less dominant and less able to democratise themselves out of the oppressive effects of being dominated economically.

In fact, those who lack the sort of learning I mention here would likely get colonised and enslaved and have their country formed and named by those who have it, just like Britain was 'established' by Rome, and as Nigeria was created by Britain.

Now, I don't expect you to accept what I've said here and I definitely hope you don't believe a single word I've written. I even suspect you might not understand it completely, and that's no fault of yours but of mine for not explaining it sufficiently. So, question please. Make me work hard for it.

Many will agree with you, except when I say "education", I do not mean "Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life", as Charles Dickens parodied in his novel Hard Times, but education that teaches the use of the senses to question and learn instead of merely believing what one is taught and told to believe.

To think that the mayorship is the singular point of institution of Sharia is to be unaware of the extra-governmental influence that can shape society. Most times when these things happen, you'll simply find yourself at the receiving end with no room for a say.
The mayorship is obviously not the singular point of institution of Sharia. And that's why it's ridiculous to claim a Muslim mayor of London will impose Sharia on UK or even smaller London. A mayor has no such powers.

In fact Londoners will not elect Sadiq Khan as a bin collector if he does too much Islam not to talk of attempt to impose Sharia on predominantly godless metropolitan London. Golly, we wouldn't likely even elect a Christian who does too much Yahweh because we have evolved further than that as a nation.

You see, we've been there. In my previous I mentioned Christianity was imposed on us. Rome came with their Latin Bible which the English could not read, and whatever the priest said was from God. Then Bibles started being translated into the vernacular (banned for century's too), and the natives finally read it and told Rome to go do one.

After years of reading it themselves, they then acquired their own understanding, and formed their own religion called Protestantism, which is what was the British brought to us after imposing it on their own citizens. There were times if you were not seen in church on Sunday and didn't send your tithes in somehow, you wouldn't be sold anything in the market.

That understanding has now been, or to be fair, is being abandoned, for our new religion. But I'll wait for you to ask what that is before I tell you.

Now, you mentioned "extra-governmental influence". You see those 26 bishops in the House of Lords you say just ceremoniously sit there in fancy robes? They are one semi extra extra-governmental source of influence out of many, and are not going to let some startup Sharia nonsense come and usurp them from their ceremonial seat now, would they, even though the priests of the newer religion have already curtailed their influence somewhat. And the priests of the new religion, who happen to be the majority will definitely not let any religion come and drag us back into the dark ages of the old religion of Christianity, and definitely not to the more backward (forgive me) Sharia rubbish ever.

For that would be like de-evolving. And I doubt we are ready to abandon the teachings of the high priest Darwin, amongst many others, that we have preached all around the world and do it's opposite and go backwards, considering we preach our new religion to our babies in the breast milk we feed them in school.

There are lots of "extra-governmental influences" countering Sharia apart from 26 bishops, is my point. You got schools from age 4. You got BBC in every home. You got loads of museums and libraries in every borough. There's even church in every parish. And there's your peers too. And they are all forever vigilant against religious bigotry, because, well, money, to be honest - our gdp depends on it - and we are far too enlightened for some startups to come impose some seven century Sharia law on us considering how much further than that we have evolved. I imagine it and can just see us fighting a war against anyone if they dared. And to crown it all, Muslims here are predominantly not as extreme and fanatic as they are in some places, and must love their neighbours or be hated. Or have you not read reports of some of the more îgnorant bigots amongst us placing pigs heads in their mosques?

Even Muslims in my own Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun are not as fundamental as some, and would dare not attempt to impose Sharia on all of us, because the Christians will not have it for starts, and Ogun and Sopona and all our other gods will definitely not sit there in their dead states and let themselves be Shariad without rising up to impose them.

I mean, just think of it. Would you not resist if someone imposed a religious law on you? Now imagine what an entire nation like enlightened UK will do if anyone dared.

And this is the rub. You assume authority you definitely do not have to tell me what I should be concerned about.

Britain already does a lot to counter radicals and extremists. We take your children from age 4 and teach them British liberal values so you do not end up radical and extremist wherever you are from. And we have counter intelligence monitoring extremists and fanatics of any type and take prompt action against them.

If you delude yourself into believing that the UK system is impenetrable due to some Bishops sitting in a ceremonial House, consider the Anglican church itself and how its attitude towards homosexuality has continued to change over the years.
I feel you'd rather I let myself be deluded by you. And I hope I am showing you how woefully you are failing.

In 1290 we persecuted Jews. In the 1600s we persecuted Catholics. In the 1900s, we threw homosexuals in jail, and up on till the 1980s you would not have been employed in many professions in UK if you were outwardly gay. Now we've evolved into people who are tolerant of homosexuals and Jews and Catholics and blacks and whoever lives amongst us.

Our acceptance of homosexual, and people of diverse tribes and religions is a thing we've evolved into. It's called progress. And even our Gods obey us when we change.

As for the House of Lords, it is not ceremonial, and calling it so shows a deficiency of knowledge of the British parliamentary system, which I hope you spend some time correcting.

Islam is a political ideology in its basest form. It demands the full integration of the society under sharia laws. The founder fought wars to establish an Islamic caliphate and after him, more wars were fought to establish the religion.
Our Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan has not started forming an army, and is not stockpiling arms yet to fight any war, and has not given me any indication that he intends to impose Sharia law on us. When he does give an indication he wants to start a war and Islamise London, we shall deal with him democratically as we do.

Your problem is that you do not understand how bigoted the British society was in the past, and how we've evolved into the liberal multicultural society we are today. And you think we'd de-evolve back into what we were in the past. And I am telling you that is not a fear I have because we are constantly vigilant and always evolving, and so can not de-evolve like you think

Basically, you sitting wherever you are trying to convince me that the sky is falling in UK where I am. And I disagree because I see the sky standing firm where it is and always will be, so I fear not.
