It's 2weeks and nothing to show

Apparently, we have crude oil but no buyers but we don't produce enough because of pipelines.

Oh. And I think Kyari meant April 2025, or 2055.

Continue beating her like that whenever she disrespects you. With time she'll learn to watch her mouth and give you your space.

No she wouldn't. And even if she were his daughter he'd pay for the beatings later in life.

Nigeria need to do away with all most of these subsidies, increase minimum wage and let reality drive the economy so that people can invest in the economy .

We should start by getting rid of Youth Service, which is a backward way of subsidising labour costs.

Rip.

Always imagined how hard their living must have been.

Competition from Russia too.

The only thing I get from this is how and who programs you.

See how your fellow magas have not fallen for it.

Pity it cost so much to short or it would have tanked a lot faster.

When it's cheaper to buy Texas Wti instead of Bonny Sweet, we would wake up to crude oil competition. Eventually.

Nigeria risks losing oil buyers as US expands footprint

By Dipo Olade­hinde · Apr 2, 2024

OIL suppliers in the United States have muscled their way into the markets once dominated by Nigeria and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), posing a challenge for Africa’s top exporter.

Since the imposition of Western sanctions on Russia in 2022, US oil exports have surged,
setting five new monthly records, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The sanctions, coupled with trade restrictions on Venezuela, have significantly altered global oil trade dynamics, enabling US suppliers to capture markets traditionally dominated by OPEC and its allies, analysts at EIA said.

This shift is particularly evident in India, a major buyer of Nigeria’s crude oil, which has increasingly turned to US crude, displacing sanctioned Russian oil, partly due to Indian refiners refusing cargoes from tankers owned by the sanctioned Russian firm Sovcomflot PJSC.

“US production is going up and OPEC and Russian production is going down — so the US, by definition, is going to have more market share,” said Gary Ross, an oil consultant turned hedge fund manager at Black Gold Investors LLC.

Data from the global ship tracker also showed the US oil shipments are expected to hit a record 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in March.

Experts said this surge is not solely a result of sanctions against Russian oil but also due to the inclusion of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) in the dated Brent benchmark, which has integrated US crude into the European oil diet.

For instance, imports into the Netherlands have surged since WTI was included in the dated Brent benchmark last year, ensuring US crude would become a part of the European diet.

Data from EIA also showed US imports to France jumped nearly 40 percent from 2021 to 2023, while those to Spain rose 134 percent.
“As US production continues to gradually grind higher, every incremental barrel that’s being produced is likely going to be exported,” said Matt Smith, lead Americas oil analyst at Kpler, a global trade intelligence platform.

Analysts said the increase in US oil imports by European countries, such as France, Netherlands and Spain, highlights the growing importance of US crude in ensuring energy security and diversifying supply sources away from Russian oil.

The Netherlands received more US crude oil exports than any other country in 2023, averaging 652,000bpd, according to EIA.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed the Netherlands bought Nigerian crude oil worth N2.5 trillion in the first nine months of 2023, while India’s imports were valued at N1.6 trillion.

Indonesia and France occupied second and third positions as they purchased Nigerian crude worth N1.72 trillion and N1.65 trillion respectively as of September 2023.

The Federal Government hopes to generate N7.69 trillion as oil revenue to partly finance the 2024 budget of N27.5 trillion.

The resurging shale oil
production will be scary for Nigeria and most OPEC members who went into recession after shale caused a supply glut that sent oil prices crashing to a historic low in mid-2014, while also making the US the largest producer of the commodity.

In terms of both volumes and value, US oil exports were the biggest of all categories in America’s trade with the world through August this year and are likely to be such for the full year 2023—for the first time, according to an analysis by Ken Roberts at Worldcity, a company that tracks US exports.

Africa’s biggest oilproducing country needs the oil price to rise or in the worst case, remain above its revised budget benchmark of $77.96 a barrel to feasibly raise N7.69 trillion.

The proposed oil revenue for 2024 is over three times the amount budgeted for 2023, which was about N2.23 trillion.

This means that the Federal Government plans to triple revenue from a sector plagued by challenges, such as oil theft, and infrastructural deficit, which led to declining revenue over the years.

“An unprepared life beyond crude oil could be catastrophic for Nigeria where millions of its people already live on less than $1 a day,” Aisha Mohammed, an energy analyst at the Lagos-based Center for Development Studies said.

Veecruz:
See how mad you are proving you are? First you, tried to dodge answering the question, Then you confess that he was in a Garden but not a tiny one. And the bible did not say it is a tiny garden.

Looks like you have reading issues.

Compared to what the creation in God's image was meant to rule over and subdue and multiply in, any garden is obviously poxy and tiny and small.

Veecruz:
Too many books spoil the knowledge! One good book is better than 100 books.

And yet, I know a man who disagrees with you.

Veecruz:
Where was he before he got reduced was it not the same Garden?

"He" being the first humans God is written to have created in his own image, both male and female?

Definitely not in a tiny garden, since the first humans created in God's image were to “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”, unless you want to argue that the sea was in the Garden of Eden.

But I guess you are one of those who believe the humans created both male and female in God's image is the Adam created from mud, despite the fact that their foods were different, with one given "every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it", and Adam having the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil deducted from his food.

Veecruz:
Just like cooking, too many books spoil the knowledge.

You say this despite the fact that it is written that it is the lack of knowledge that kills?

Guess next you'd tell us scull na scam too, but hopefully only a few will heed your words.

oteneaaron:
Thank you for your kind words.

I agree that finding out the truth about Gnosticism is a big blessing.

If only billions of literalist Christians today could study the past and learn about the true origins of Christianity...

Moreso, when I realize that the teachings of the Gnostic Christians can be traced back to the ancient African country of Kemet aka Egypt, it warms my heart even more.

Our forefathers weren't savage after all, they gave the world philosophy, science, and now religion.

What an empowering idea!

Many don't wonder why it is written that out of Egypt I called my Son, but it is a huge clue to the gnostic.

Veecruz:
The bankers have already confessed that they are slaves. So end of the road for you.

I would rather check if they work for free without a paycheck and with chains around their necks than just accept their words for it, but that's me I guess.

Veecruz:
And the bible shows us free blessed Adam male and female who female Adam foolishly and fatally believed the lies which a devil like you sold and she killed a whole world because she stole and took what was not given to her.

Your so called "free blessed Adam", who was ignorant and reduced to working in a garden instead of “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”?

May you not be demoted like Adam was, and if you are demoted (gods forbid), may you have an Eve to save you.

Veecruz:
If you had thought it properly, then you would have remembered that your education or lack of it does not prevent a person from being inslaved as proven by those who work in banks and places where they are not even allowed to take calls. And the slaves who work there have knowledge

Those who work in banks are not slaves, and actually beg for their jobs in banks, and wouldn't be hired if they lacked knowledge.

But this is not about banks, but about a story in a book that does describe the naked ignorant slavery of Adam and Eve and how Eve freed them from it.

Are you aware that Faucci visits to CIA before COVID outbreak are being investigated?

By Rand Paul.

When he finishes his investigation, do let me know his official findings and not his or your conspiracies please.

Veecruz:
If you were sane you would have known that the Egyptians did own gardens and they stood over afflicting their slaves.

Now think carefully about what you wrote above.

Would Egyptians not have afflicted their slaves by depriving them of knowledge?

basilico:
I finally came up with this theory ...

And you seriously believe I would read past the above?

Veecruz:
You call people who had no tasks masters like the Egyptians did to the hebrews and were free to even disobey, slaves? Badatom, i have always told you that you have gone mad.

Guess I don't need to listen to those who can't bother to spell my name right, but if you knew anything you'd wonder if the Egyptians owned the garden, and Adam and Eve their slaves, since those keeping them Ignorant already ensured they lack freedom.

Were they not already gods even before eating the fruit?

Adam and Eve were "not already gods". They were naked ignorant slaves who were made to work in the Garden of Eden.

Another letter by Coken lawyer to FEC saying Trump knew nothing of the payment's.

How about Cohen admitting he lied, and Stormy saying she was bound by an NDA.

You need to learn to control your anger!

And next time boil your own eba water.

I don't know why you don't go represent these magas in court and instead spend your time defending them before Judge buda.

Aimee Harris, 41, pleaded guilty in 2022 to providing Ashley Biden’s personal belongings to the conservative group Project Veritas for $20,000. The nonprofit organization is known for deceptive tactics in targeting what it says is liberal bias in the mainstream media, including an attempt to infiltrate The Washington Post in 2017.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York called Harris’s actions “despicable,” the Associated Press reported. Harris tearfully apologized for her actions during the sentencing hearing and said she regrets making the president’s daughter’s childhood and life public, according to the AP.

Zaheertyler:
Did they become Gods?

I'd say, yes. Though, becoming Gods is an ongoing process that only began with Adam and Eve and continued to Jesus and us today. According to the Bible, that is.

We might not have learnt not to say "Nepa", after our "Let there be light" fails, but we definitely have evolved from lighting the night with palm oil and might one day go nuclear.

Devil pikin, If they had used the fruit for football as we used oranges, they would not have been harmed,

Apart from God being pissed off that they would be playing football with his precious fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil instead of "put in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it", how do you know the God would not have harmed them for playing football with his precious fruit?

And why is it that you are so insulting?

soulhelper481:
He doesn't

I missed the gambling bit. Sorry. And the beating too in fact. My bads.

Family therapy is a solution. They'd sit you all down so you can more effectively communicate your feelings so they are openly confronted and resolved, but I guess that might not be available where you are. Social services is an option too so he gets done for child cruelty, but ditto.

At the end of your learning here, write to him explaining how you feel and how his behaviour is affecting his children and destroying his family and ensuring the future would not be as good as it could be if he spent his time and money and effort nurturing and developing and loving his family. You write well enough for him to be shook up enough to need to decide if he wants to continue being a selfish pig or not. Keep a copy!

Then leave him if he does not stop beating his child, who will blame you for not loving and protecting him if you don't.
