Can we pump 2m BPD? If so, it’s straightforward to maintain our contractual obligations while ensuring the needs of our local refineries are met.

I think Nigeria can’t produce more than 1.5 million, which is a shame. Sometimes, we don’t even hit that 1.5M mark. roughly 20 yeers ago, we were doing 2.5M PBD.
No, we can not produce more than 2m BPD. We are only currently capable of producing an average of 1.483 mbpd, which represents 88% of our OPEC quota of 1.5 mbpd.

Lack of competence to start with, and climate change educates that crude oil isn't infinite.

Funny thinking some Nigeriane. For years we were anti-DEI so oga was hiring family, but now the rot is set in they blame it on the DEI that opened the jobs out to everyone.

wished and pray you don't have a bad woman or bad wife then you will relate with what the Op is saying. Not every Mother is a nice woman after all they say witches and demons dy
The op does not have a bad woman nor a bad wife yet, but is assuming however that the woman he meets in the future that will be his wife will be bad because his "momsi" was bad to his father, and he will therefore treat her his wife badly accordingly.

He has decided this before meeting his future wife, because of "momsi".

Your opinion please.

This is where I think Education on Democracy is very very important. The biggest problem I think that exists in Nigeria today is that people don't fully understand democracy. They don't understand their role in democracy.

Democracy is an agreement between the people on how they want to be government. When parties breach the agreement, it's still the participants who can push for reforms or fix the problem. Democracy doesn't execute itself.

Democracy has different branches: Executive, Judicial, Legislative and so on. These branches are meant to counterbalance one another, but they can also connive with one another and work against the people. This is where many people get confused.

The people are the ones meant to protect democracy. Once the branches of government fail, the people are the last resort before the system collapses. In democracy, people are supposed to be watchful of everything the government does. You don't just pay taxes and go home to sleep, hoping that the government is doing their job. You stay vigilant on every action the government takes. It's your responsibility to ensure the 3 branches don't collude against you. It's your tax money that funds them.

Once these branches connive to become more powerful than your collective voices, you become powerless.

What am I saying? Those things you're asking for will never happen, if you're waiting for them to happen before you do your job. Nobody will give you power on a platter, the power is yours only if you can recognize and take it.
I will sing like you when I grow up!

You can not claim that indigenous people have the right to choose if in doing so they are forced to relinquish their ancestral lands which is part of their indigenous heritage.... you are free disconnect from the thread.... Thanks smiley
This is actually worth staying for. I appreciate its lack of ad hominems.

Yes, I am familiar with "Indigenous land rights", it "affirms rights to self-determination, culture, identity, education, health, and land ownership", and I do not disagree.

As a Nigerian, I can determine myself, practise my own culture, identify myself by any name I want and go and learn if I want to. My health is according to my wallet, I confess, but I can buy land wherever I want. I can even use my better pass my neighbour to cool myself at night while my noise disturbs their sleep, so I must have my "indigenous land rights" and more in Nigeria as it is, but I will understand if you are telling me that you can not affirm your own rights to self-determination and practise your own culture and identity however you want and go to school for education and maintain your own health and buy land so you own it. Our situations may not be the same, and that I accept.

A confession. I have not known your tribe so far as I have not done the research, and up till now have worked on the basis that you could be Yoruba or Igbo or even from the North. Just thought to ensure you know. I will go to find out after posting this.

I am from the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun in Osun State in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which is in West Africa in Africa, which is one of the continents on earth. I am from the Yoruba land where I feel I can say most have such rights, and yes, others should have those rights too, even people from other places must have those rights whereever they are and when they are amongst us, hence Hausas in the Orolu Kingdom since the late 1800s and lots of Igbos here too. We even given a whole village to Christains displaced from their own "Indigenous land rights" in the North of Nigeria. So, yes, "Indigenous land rights" for everyone who comes to our Orolu Kingdom, is literally our motto.

Voting, which I'm upgrading to democracy, and as a consequence of the Nigerian Constitution, which forgive me assuming you'd claim is imposed on you, or rather, us. You are campaigning for a national referendum, which you get by getting a majority in the House of Senate and a majority in the House of Representatives and perhaps a majority of Governors, all elected people we go out and democratically vote for at an election because they offer us a vote on a national referendum that we say we want, but you seriously think elections are pointless and a waste of time?

It's like you are asking me to support a national referendum but not vote for those who would give it to you.

That's ironic.

Anyway. And in case you don't know.

In international law, the right to self-determination for Indigenous peoples is almost universally interpreted as internal, meaning it occurs within the existing borders of a state.

Being in your mother's womb or depending on your parents while growing up doesn't mean you've no freedom, it only a temporary stage you must pass through before you can stand on your own.... I do not agree with your submission because slavery simply means dehumanization, I am certan you won't want to live as a slave, knowing you've no freedom.....
You do not need to agree with my submission. We have elections so everyone can cast their votes so the person with the most votes wins and gets to decide the way forward.

You keep campaigning for the destruction of Nigeria, and if you get the votes, se la vie. Until then, Nigeria we hail thee.

If you truly love the other tribes, you will support their right to choose..... You will support national referendum because you will want the best for the other tribes.... What I see from your utterances so far is fear of unknown and obsession not love.....
You have every right to choose whether you are Nigerian or not. Just leave the land known as Nigeria and burn your passport after you've left.

What you don't and never will have is the choice to reduce the land known as Nigeria and call it something else. And all your attempts to destroy Nigeria will most surely fail.

Now, know I am almost done with you, and will only resoond if you say something worthy if a response. You repeaing the same thing will be ignored.

You don't know what you are saying,
Just last week US president Trump said he is considering cancelling his planned trip to China because of certain decision that China took in regards to the US Israel war against Iran. That is a president that put his country and people first. Tinubu does not care about you. VDM is doing the work of Tinubu visiting the families and victims of people that Boko Haram and bandits attacked .
I trust Obi, will not make such trip at this time.
Anyone who thinks dump puts his country first should please come but the bridge I made to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

Someone could hate a specific Black person and use a slur out of rage, without hating Black people generally. That's what I believe.
And I appreciate the fact you say you "believe" that since it implies you don't really know.

I know that people who use a racial slur for whatever reason against anyone is a detestable racist person, and I just need to wait long enough till their rage is against me for their racism to be directed at me.

And I know this from years of experience and knowledge, and have terminated the employment of a few just because of their racist rage slurring.

Then don't twist my analogy to imply what I never inferred please. It's dishonest, and shows how lame your position is when you do.

You don't need to murder more than one person for reasonable people to call you a murderer. And you only need to be racist once to be labelled a racist, especially if you don't repent and desist.

Would you care to point out where I opposed "out of glaring selfish tribal instincts you mentioned in an earlier comment you made here" please, so I can know exactly what you refer to and not just conclude you are intentionally trying to provoke me to anger!

As for your so called "national referendum on Nigeria's unity", I hope you've noticed that no person willing to lead or occupy any position in Nigerian's leadership is offering any such nonsense and asking you to vote for them so they give you a referendum. You would at the least need enough of those in the Senate and House of Representatives to vote for a referendum and you currently have none.

Smart people know that splitting Nigeria into what could end up being like a hundred different nations is not viable. My own Ifon Osun would want a separate nation from our brethrens in neighbouring Ilobu Osun. Lots of parts of what could be Biafra don't want to be in the same nation as the Igbos, and you can not possibly separate an Hausa nation from a Fulani nation even with a surgical knife despite some asking for a split like you are!

Diversity and culture are two different things.
Diversity is a broad term. Diversity of cultures does not help a country.
Golly, your knowledge is very limited indeed.

Ancient Rome was very diverse in culture. The went to Greece to learn about law culture, and that contributed to their becaming an empire.

Ancient Britain and modern is a nation of diverse cultures. People migrated there from all over with their own cultures and added to what helped create the British Empire with its diverse cultures on which the sun never set.

Ancient and modern China is a nation of diverse cultures. They even adopted what of the culture of USA that they could adopt after the Treaty of Wanghia, having found how inferior to USA they were. So was ancient and modern Germany, France, Italy, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Malaysia, UAE, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Mexuco, Venezuela, etc etc etc. All had and continue to have people of diverse cultures living withing their borders.

Every nation on earth has diversity of culture. Even we Yorubas don't all have the same culture, nor do the Igbos and Hausas have one culture. I'd even go as far as claiming siblings may have different cultures, but I'd need to educate you on what culture is for you to understand, and you haven't paid schoolfees for me to bother. The sum of it however is that not everyone in the same place may necessarily have the same system of behaviors, beliefs, values, customs, and norms that define a group of people, and the diversity enriches, as USA with its diverse cultures from all over clearly shows.
