From Dubai and London, one by one, let them start bringing it back home and be investing it as Dangote has decreed.

Dangote miscalculated a lot of things...

He just rushed to build the biggest refinery in Africa because he was striking shady deals with the last government and expected things to go his way.

This whole situation was fueled by his deep greed... All he was seeing was the end of making so much money because he was thinking of how much he was going to exploit the system.

Unfortunately, this government had other plans.

He was actually expecting to get crude for free from the last government. Reason he spent so much money building such a large scale refinery infrastructure without the importance of finance to actually purchase the crude oil which will be refined.

What is a refinery without crude.

His high level greed brought him here!

The plan to build predates Buhari's govt.

What happened to the 450k bpd that's suppose to go towards local public refineries?

Content creators in Aso rock. Since BBNaija is on, they have reduced th frequency of Emefiele's headlines.
They are just creating contents and eating fat.

PDP is light. The PDP era was Nigeria's best era

They just created an audio solution to a real problem by deploying 10000 guards to farms. Why deploy audio guards when the bandits are few and well known.

bdon123:
It cant work...d only way is to defeat terrorist n bandits.u cannot create a force to guard d whole farmlands in Nigeria

Just the normal content creation stunt this admin is known to address real issues with. With this headline now, they can focus on looting and 2027.

Content creators in Aso Rock have done it again o.
Audio recruitment and preparation. They dont want to confront the bandits so they generate a headline content to silence the masses.

It happens every year around August-November period

Zonefree:
The landlord should arrest him. No one mandated him to put tiles in a rented shop.

Wrong. As long as the landlord knew and didn't oppose installation of tiles, he has every right to relocate tiles along with wooden shelves. They are all his properties.

What landlord is entitled to is a floor as good as the original one tiles were installed upon.

Subsidy is finally dying a natural death as it should. It should only cease to exist when Nigeria is bankrupt and cannot afford other wasteful expenses.

At least we know the refinery is working unlike the ones under our blending NNPCL.

Nigerians feed with 60% of income.

Is Evan's a fulani?

Toh

This is what we need, support for our local industries. Let's see the impact on job creation and economic growth.

Yes o. Support them with N200k but turn a blind eye when bandits destroy same businesses. Clap for yourself.

IbeOkehie:
This is a real thing. Back in 2008 to 20015 or so there was a Director in the Ministry of Mines & Steel or whatever it was that basically lived in Europe! No joke!

Why not simply abolish the ministry and sell off all the mines and factories to private investors and be done with it all. Even if Ajaokuta is sold for $1, it's still better than generating this level of losses every year. That's simple economic math, but THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE will never support that, they want the government to FIGHT CORRUPTION.



The PEOPLE of Nigeria support such laws, that's why they get passed.

Congrats to that Senator Akpokiti or whatever, this is one of her causes that got her elected by Kogi people. She just kept spinning tales of how a corrupt cabal was determined to keep the people of that State from enjoying the riches of Ajaokuta.

I watched some of her speeches on video and I couldn't stop laughing. Her whole schtick is that the government must not sell Ajaokuta but make it work.... to the point of your comment, the people voted for her. The woman is good, I tell you.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

The sensibe thing to do is to fight corruption irrespective of whether it is sold or not. If you leave corruption, you end up with a petrol subsidy scenario. It has been reintroduced today after all the cry about scrapping it. In fact the one who scrapped it is the one who reintroduced it. The country needs to be free from corruption more than any single other thing. Govt should make attempt to sell to competent and reputable group with ample experience in steel industry or excellent business minds like Dangote that can take that plant to the next level. Above all, a sizable stake should be maintained by the govt, that will minimize the volume of forex needed for profit repatriation(if sold to a foreign incestor), as well as split the profit with the govt and thus the people.
The problem is every group in power want to own as much of the country as possible. Even if sold for $1 as you opined, it is still a function of who buys and runs it that will determine if the profit comes back to govt and the people.
If that plant is sold to me for $1 because I am connected somehow, I can turn around, do some shady upgrade and resell it for much more to a bigger steel industry player. The key here is getting rid of corrupt practices and retaining vital stake in the business.

Persevere. Rain cant hide forever.
Govt can give cheap drip irrigation kits to farmers to reduce their stress.

Believe this at your on peril. Our born-to-rule folks have perfected the art of churning out negative data about their region that attracts the lion share of the national cake.

Basicend:
The power of God begins to diminish amongst his people when this wealth - wealth (prosperity gospel) became prominent.

It's all about money and influence in the society and God's spirit of course became irritated.

When people do not see power, the go to where they can see it.

Nonsense

Cromagnon:
Why didn't he steal atiku and obi 12 million votes in north and east?

he spread it just enough to clinch the mandate.

Few years down the line, tinubu too will claim he laid a foundation for future leaders.

Mad somebody. He left the guy they claimed came second to be demonising the guy they claimed came third.

God did not withhold the waters, they only changed form. Two days ago, flood destroyed Kano Maiduguri Maiduguri highway. This is failure to mechanize farming and irrigate.

Food and fuel are two things we have capacity to produce locally and on the short term. The inability to do that is a huge minus to the content creators in Aso Rock.

They carefully masked fuel under industry. Fuel use for gen set to watch BBNAIJA or do Owambe is not industry.

Food prices continue to rise despite the harvest of fresh foods.

Very convenient for you to point fingers at the politicians as if politicians do not come from your families yet you all turned them to your punching bag while most of you do far worse, including you unpatriotic elements who waste and steal the resources of your private employers , come late to work and even use the company internet to feed on worthless social media gist/entertainment, idle away on social media, watch useless films and porn during official hours!

You are completely ignorant if you think they don't steal and it's unfortunate that I can't help you.

The part I left out is that they probably don't have low self esteemed, ignorant, unpatriotic elements who can be irredeemably lazy so much that they blame everyone and government for their unproductive and horrible lifestyle choices and low self esteem except themselves.

trutharena:
Bode George should focus on his own failures instead of criticizing the FG. The government knows what it's doing; palliatives are necessary for the people.

We all know how Tinubu stole the mandate with the help and cooperation of the lanky general. We also see his results clearly enough. We also know your job here and on all of SM. We know.

Palliative is temporary. Let him rid the bushes of bandits so we can farm and eat what we like instead of reactionary palliative that wont last 2 weeks.

Reactionary palliative. . . Lol.

lailo:
See advice
So he should discard his long time and dependable loyalists for strangers?
That's why una no reach anywhere for life. Instead of Tinubu to listen to u who has achieved no feat in life, u should rather study Tinubu's blue print to success in life. If u sabi this life well better than him, then u should be at least a local government chairman of ur area.
Nope but u want to teach someone who has achieved it all, someone who as a private citizen removed a sitting president, install a perpetual presidential failure and after 8 years came back to install himself as a president. Go and use that advice to raise your own life first. Efulefu

Lol. So the evidence of Tinubu excellence is his ability to get power?
The ability to get thugs to snatch power for him is now part of his brilliancy.

OkCornel:
Nigerians want affordable fuel, not stories!

There is no stories there. Go and fetch the crude free of charge if you want affordable fuel.

Random food that have tripled is what a stale blog post is passing off as budget meal.

donbrowser:
Tell it to America and UK

They use theirs for productive things and not for mega projects to loot the populace like duplicate highways or useless flyovers.

I am sure their own refineries too lack crude and prefer to pay idlers then import refined crude products. I m sure they blend substandard fuel in Malta then import same to create massive smuggling operation in middle east as well as vibrant auto repair industry. Nonsense and ingredient.

You idiotically blamed lifestyle of lazy unpatriotic citizens but forgot the leaders just finish stoning the devil with around N200B(state and FG). They approve salary of these same unpatriotic lazy comatose refinery workers because of political loyalty. They loot everything on sight. They use 120 car convoy. They have door openers for the cars being paid.
