Politics / Re: Umahi Gets Presidential Directive On Sokoto-Badagry Coastal Highway Design by Chesster: 7:21pm On Apr 29
Max24:
Where is Tinubu getting money to do all these roads from within 1 year of his being sworn in ? That's the question on my mind these days. No president had been this project oriented in the first year. Not Jonathan nor Buhari. Buhari even spent the first year appointing Ministers alone. Even though things are tough, infrastructural development is ongoing. We need to find ways to key in to all these developments. Intelligent people will key in to these opportunities being created and leave unintelligent ones to be crying and wailing online about everything.

Tinubu hasn't even built up to 5km of the much talked about coastal highway

With the way this government is going..they will not beat the previous government in infrastructure development

Who told u he built oshodi Apapa road. Do u think if the project was fashola that was in charged, by now them never finish am.
For ur ignorance it was Dangote project for tax waiver with the FG.

Fashola actually revamped the almost abandoned policy of tax credit system..and made it easy for any company to apply..


Fashola tried in ensuring almost 90% completion of Lagos Ibadan expressway..

Finish the second niger bridge.

Finished and commissioned section 2 and 3 of Abuja Kaduna zaria Kano highway

Finished 90% of Abuja keffi Lafia Makurdi expressway.

Education / Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by Chesster: 3:32am On Apr 23

Sho Yano – Age 18
Yano is the son of Katsura Yano from Japan and Kyung Yano from South Korea. He was born in Portland, Oregon and is currently a physician. He was a child prodigy and was apparently reading at the age of two, playing classical music at the age of three, and composing music at the age of five. At the age of eight, he scored 1500 on the SAT, which, at the time, had a total score of 1600.

Yano entered college at the age of 9. He attended Loyola University, Chicago and graduated summa cum laude in three years. When he was 12 years old, he entered University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine. In this program, students earn both a doctorate and a medical degree simultaneously. He did his residency in the area of pediatric neurology. His PhD is in molecular genetics and cell biology, which was completed after his first year of medical school in the program. By the time he was 18, he was in his second year of medical school and was interacting with patients as a PhD on his way to becoming an MD.

University of Chicago sits in good company with Columbia University and Stanford University since all three are tied at #4 in the U.S. New and World Report Rankings for best school in the nation. QS Top Universities ranks University of Chicago at an impressive #10 in the world. The university is clearly built for research with a majority, 59%, of its student population doing post-graduate work. U.S. News ranks University of Chicago’s medical research at #11 in the nation, tied with New York University and University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, #14 in Biological Sciences, and #12 in Chemistry.

Yano is currently continuing his pediatric neurology residency at the University of Chicago.

Politics / Re: N438m Scandal: I Am A Shareholder Not Director Of The Company - Tunji-Ojo by Chesster: 7:47am On Jan 09
DeLaRue:
A company you founded and in which you continue to be shareholder secured a huge contract from another ministry in the same Government in which you are currently serving as a minister

And your defense is ... oh, but I am no longer a Director of the company, I am only a shareholder grin undecided

As a shareholder, you are a beneficiary of the contract. That is the koko. Whether or not you're a director is irrelevant. This is not allowed anywhere, exceptmay be Nigeria. It is a straight forward sacking offence.

Is the Minister saying that if he finds that the permanent secretary in his ministry got a large contract from the ministry through a company the PS owns with perhaps his wife, the Minister will say, ah well, since the PS is only a shareholder and not a director, everything is fine?

Foreign observers must be laughing their heads off at this, or more appropriately shaking their heads in disgust at the level of insane corruption in Nigeria.

Has the Minister never had of conflict of interest and abuse of office.

And how on earth can he say he was not aware the company bid for the contract. He must think Nigerians are fools.

If this matter is investigated properly, and the government is truly serious, this man will be gone with Ms Edu and the other lady. No ifs, no buts.





He did not award any contract to his ministry... He has no fault..he is simply a shareholder..no crime in that .

Politicians are shareholders in Julius beger ..hence they handle all the juicy Nigerian projects..
It's no crime..as long as the company fulfills the requirements of the contracts ..why not.

Business / Re: EFCC Didn't Visit Or Raid Our Office - BUA Group by Chesster: 5:15pm On Jan 05
Primusinterpares:
Selling at 3500 means spoiling business for other monopolistic business owners.

Especially in Nigeria where we don't have price regulations

The fact that we don't have price regulations means nothing stops BUA from selling at N3500 if he truly means it..


BUA selling his cement for N3500 will not force Dangote to do anything..

There are 10 cement plant in Nigeria..the top 4 largest are all in owned by Dangote..BUA owns 2 and Lafarge owns 4
Dangote owns over 55% market share..

Another thing to note is that the demand for cement is so high that BUA selling for N3500 will not make them sell more or make Dangote lose patronage..

As at today
There are 2 new cement plants under construction in Nigeria because of demands

Yar adua didn't think it through..he reversed it and still left the refinery to rot... GEJ who is naturally sluggish left it as well...so Dangote built one that can handle the demands of Nigeria plus 6 other African countries...so he own is government own a threat to him?

He has been touched already. News of EFCC raid on his headquarters and the allegations seeping out about the reason for the raid is tarnishing his reputation. What more evidence of touching do you want.

The idea that there is anybody in Nigeria that the Federal Government cannot 'touch' is funny.

If EFCC has good reason to believe he committed an offence, they will invite him for interrogation. If he refuses to turn up (he won't try it), he will be declared wanted and if found, arrested. Nothing will happen. Nigerians will go about their normal business.

I suspect Mr Dangote will be having sleepless night now, and calling some influential people to help him intervene for a soft landing.

Federal might is not to be sniffed at.


Saved this for tomorrow..

Nothing will happen..

The FG needs Dangote more than Dangote needs them..

So Dangote is the reason why Obasanjo , yar adua and Jonathan left our refineries to fail and kept approving billions in the name of TAM for looters..


Nonsense and ingredients..

The Nigerian government saw it as shameful if Dangote can build his refinery bigger than all 3 government owned combined..

It's that shame that is making them to rush and repair that dead and buried port Harcourt Refinery of meagre 60,000bpd when Dangote is doing 650,000 Bpd..even BUA is building 200,000bpd..

Stop saying what you don't know anything about
Only deaf fools doesn't know the atrocities DANGOTE had been committing with our forex

What atrocities..


Did he pack the money in foreign banks?
Dangote came open and clear that it is not possible for him alone to build a $19 billion refinery without government coming to help .. Dangote groups does not export anything large enough to generate USD...their revenues are largely in naira and the currency of every African nation they operate in..

Emifiele obviously maid the doors to reserves so easy definitely in exchange for bribe .. if Dangote succumbed to it would you blaim him...Do you know the wickedness of the average civil servant in Nigeria?..

Even if Emifiele knows the impact of his refinery project..he can fustrate it if his pocket isn't settled... it's the normal system in government.. Buhari approved it though and nothing bad about that..Emifiele mis used such right..

After all have you asked your self how other billionaires like Folorunsho alakija became rich?..what about Otedola who was caught after bribing law makers for subsidy scams...
Have you called them...what about shell who has been looking Nigeria in USD since 1963..


Now you have someone who built what no government in Africa can do.. employs more than the federation government and many state governments combined..and Una carry Una mouth dey wail..

His company is one of many operating in the country who bribe their way through the system..
..after all..Then no born Tinubu well to touch him..after recking the reserves..they will still depend on his refinery to regain back those Forex

The rich men you are referring to have thousands of workers in Nigeria..Dangote and Bua combined employs more than the Federal Government..
Those two own more than 15 factories scattered across Nigeria...they are one of the very few to take up the responsibility of the federation government by building federal highways..


Nigerians don't know their enemies..a witch stole billions as petro minister and is currently cruising in the UK... Nigeria is still recovering the loots of sanni abacha till today..those two have no single Nigerian employee..

Politics / Re: NNPCL Delivers Fourth 1 Million Barrel Tranche Of Crude Oil To Dangote Refinery by Chesster: 6:51pm On Jan 02
MeineMutter:


It won’t currently optimize the 650k capacity, so it doesn’t need crude every other two days.

You are not a chemical engineer because if you are one, you would know that 1m barrel of crude is not needed everyday to produce gasoline of 650k pbd a day.

Show us where the license reads 300k bpd. We want to learn more.

More so, subsequent crudes would be sent via pipelines from NigerDelta to Lekki, once everything around pipe-laying is concluded.

Ships cannot be bringing crude every week till eternity. That’s why DANGOTE laid the pipes.

The pipes Dangote layed are to channel gas for the 400MW powerplant and to be used as feedstock for the petrochemical plant..

Secondly..a read carefully before you quote..I didn't say 1m barrel of crude is needed everyday to produce gasoline of 650k pbd a day.


If a refinery is pegged at 650,000bpd crude processing capacity.. that refinery will require no less than between 600,000barrels of crude daily at least for optimal production and efficiency .. meaning NNPC should be supplying their 1 million barrels every 2 days..


Thirdly.. the refinery is only granted license to process over 300,000bpd

https://punchng.com/dangote-refinery-secures-licence-to-refine-300000bpd-crude/?amp

Even the license from DPR is 500,000 bpd license despite having 650,000bpd capacity

While this is commendable...

A refinery that can process 650,000bpd will need a stock of at least 1 million barrels of crude delivered every 2 days.. it took NNPC weeks to deliver this..

Anyways their license is around 300,000bpd..all we are waiting for is for the refinery to begin selling products

Which of these lines do you think will generate the most traffic by your statistics?
