Bros there are thousands of refineries around d world,70% of refineries don't own oil wells.This is my field of specialization.The only requirement for owing a refinery is source of crude must be close.The companies u mentioned are NOCs including saudi aramco.Dangote refinery is a private enterprise.Shell is dutch,BP is uk etc....their govts hav alot of interest in this companies as no government or economy can go far without securing a stable source of power(fuel) to drive innovation
I would expect the bigger refineries would like to secure a stable source of fuel by owning [part of] their source, while smaller ones might not.

It just makes better business "as no government or economy can go far without securing a stable source of power(fuel) to drive innovation", as you've rightly stated.
Nairaland General › Re: Emir Sunusi And His Magic Wand by budaatum: 12:28pm On Jan 19, 2025
This reads to me like a paid character assassination of a certain "emir Sunusi", whom, thankfully, many would not have ever heard of. It is full of distorted facts to support untruths.

Those who own refinery around d world dont own oil fields. Normally, refineries are built close to source of crude supply be it via ships or pipeline
This would be stupid business practice if true. Most companies would own their input source if just to control their inputs and earn more profit.

But do some research and come back to inform us that all major crude oil extracting companies (Shell, Agip, BP, Chevron etc) don't have their own refineries.

I always wondered why Dangote would build a refinery without owning an oil field, and here it is. Don't know if just me, but it seems to have been kept very quiet.

This led Dangote to speed up his objective of initiating crude production at its two Niger Delta upstream projects in Oil Mining Leases 71 and 72, starting with around 20,000 barrels per day and scaling up further in the first quarter of 2025.

Ibime:
Most assets are so overvalued right now, it would be reckless to say, however sentiment is high with inflation dropping below 3% so I expect rallies to continue across the board unless there is a macro shock like war etc

One sector that is definitely undervalued and should turn when interest rates cool down are real estate companies (REITS or Real Estate Investment Trusts). Most are trading at 20-50% less than their Net Asset Value. That means if they liquidate, they will pay out higher than their share price just by selling their properties. This should ease as interest rates come down. Their valuations have been hammered by high interest rates and there is also some distrust of their property valuations, although all valuations are done by independent valuers. There is a potential 2x play there as interest rates ease over the next 18 months. A REIT ETF won't be a bad play.
I'd be cautious with that, if you include commercial RE. Companies been winding down space they rented hoping to grow into but never did. And with the spike in inflation, which is making the last cut seem like a mistake, I wouldn't bet on interest rates going south any time soon.

I don't suppose you'd understand how bad it would have looked if 10,000 troops had had to defend against dump's insurrection maga mob.

Personally, I wished they'd actually been there. Dump would have had to pardon some dead magas.

A booming American economy?

Our Drunken Sailors, as we lovingly and facetiously have come to call them, are in the mood to spend. The labor market has been solid, with an additional 2.23 million payroll jobs created in 2024, and with hourly earnings up by 4%, outpacing inflation for the second year. Consumers are sitting on vast and ballooning piles of cash in money-market funds and CDs. Stocks, home prices, and cryptos have soared in recent years, and consumers that hold them (64% are homeowners and many hold stocks in their retirement funds) are feeling flush.

Over the past 15 years, the US has averaged about 2% “real” GDP growth. If GDPNow is on target, Q4 real GDP would come in at about 3.0%. Over the past five quarters, there was only one weakling, Q1 2024 with 1.6% inflation-adjusted growth. The other four quarters ranged from 3.0% to 4.4% inflation-adjusted growth, which is huge for the US.

The Hausa's have long lost grip over the North.
Not only Governor's.
I doubt if any Hausa is presently a First Class Emir in the North. I stand to be corrected.
They focus on their onions and tomatoes trading while th Fulanis, Nupe and Gbagyi focus in grabbing power and politics.
Actually, they are oppressed and not properly educated, so they can't assert themselves in their communities.

Basically, some have made slaves of them and kept them from developing, and we should consider freeing them.

Its all I could shamefully think of. I did want to add education, but you will claim its not food, and we really don't send enough of it up North, yet.
Politics › Re: VATS ! Name Single Food Crop Produce In South That The North Depends On # by budaatum: 3:37pm On Jan 17, 2025
The south produces (or shall I say, produced) kolanut. And while it is eaten in the north, other uses qualify too.

But the fact that kolanut is all I can think of is hopefully due to my limited knowledge, and not because of our lack of production down south.

P.s. The North does not buy kolanut from us in my Orolu Kingdom anymore. Our kolanut trees are now being cut for cheap plank, and our kolanut (and cocoa) warehouses are used by northerners to import beans and maize, which they bag and sell all over the country.
