This listening to loud music via earpiece is making people nonentities. Imagine my neighbour's kid was home alone and she forgot the front wasn't locked when everyone had gone out. She had loud music playing from her earpiece when some gentlemen came in and carted away their belongings inculding electronics and valuable jeweries. The nuisance level of listening to loud music with earpiece is indeed very high.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Withdraw OPL245 From Malabu And Dan Etete by coldasice11(m): 9:46pm On Jan 25, 2016
NavierStokes:
Probes here and there, there is an inherent danger in doing too much or having your hands full at a time, I hope this government doesn't keep the country stagnant these coming 3 years and 4 months.

The real questions should be, are the companies competent? are they credible? Will they evade paying taxes etc. The real corruption to me is awarding an asset like that (huge plus located in deep waters) to an individual company malabu oil, with no proven evidence of experience etc. So they should rather be fixated on who awarded that contract in 1999 rather than who worked out an amicable solution.

Look anyone who is knowledgeable about the oil industry will tell you that this move is a no-brainer.
The asset in question was awarded to an indigeneous firm and since 1996? or so they have been unable to do nothing, or do you all think exploring or drilling in deep waters is a business for a novice indigeneous coy or even our NNPC? Shell already has the expertise and i think provide the technical experts on this project. Everyone knows our government has been battling even to meet cash call obligations these past years. And you find people who are willing to invest and all you can think of is to retrieve the asset. I think there is a clause shielding the companies from litigation on this particular deal.

They better rethink the multiplier effect of this action, both companies (shell and eni) are credible, technically competent and will effectively manage that asset paying their taxes and royalties in the process. Retrieving the asset from them will send a very bad signal out there, and will be a sort of deterrent to other would be foreign investors. Already there are complaints of lack of working systems here (one government cancelling agreements legally entered into by her predecessor), plus over-regulation and interference by governments plus the multiple fronts our governments use to extort money from them, 85% taxes on profits, rotalties, JV or PSC payments, partnership for sustainable developments etc.

Already a lot of companies have designated Nigeria as high risk, and making attempts to limit their exposure so its left for us to continue on the ego or power trip.

PS: conocophillips pulled out of Nigeria a few years ago and till date the brass lng project has still been on a standstill.

All I know is that every government or corporation around the world, sets her priorities in line with current realities at the time, and also in taking decisions people face tradeoffs.

BP the great had her assets seized in Nigeria and became the African Petroleum and today what do we have, a rubbish business that was finally sold out as peanuts.

Let he who can see the big picture, ensure this government is properly guid ed.
Very valid point, but the thing is was this asset issued correctly with equity and probity? A lot government officials have their hands soiled in dirty deals that probing will take the whole tenure of this adminstration. If cancelling and fining these oil gaints and also correcting whatever shady alocation was done on behalf of the government would send the right signals then it should be done and another transparent bidding process be put in place. What makes Nigeria risky? Nigerian government officials wanting kick backs for bids that can be tranparently done, thereby when another adminstration comes in, these guys will have to "settle" again... Its a vicious circle. The Buhari administration should take one probe at a time. Finish with the arms deal, jail or even kill the looters nad you see that all other probes will be seamless. That's my opinion.

PoliticsRe: South Africa To Stop Buying Crude Oil From Nigeria, Opens Talks With Iran by coldasice11(m): 8:25pm On Jan 19, 2016
MansaMoussa:
Nonsense!
We can boost the domestic market in Africa For our oil.
Secure a low interest loan from China and build a west Africa gas pipeline extending all the way to Gambia...then sell at rock bottom price, govt to govt..
Russia did it in Europe...we can do it
I totally agree with you, we can even look at it this way, the Nigerian govt and Nigerin business men should build refineries in the west african sub-region , send their crude to these refineries and sell refined products at rock bottom prices to the whole of west africa and some central african countries, pay tax to the government of these countries and repartrait the proceeds back to nigeria. These countries will have no other option than to buy and use your refined products. The money repartraited back to the country will be used to develop other sectors of the economy like agriculture, tourism and mining just to mention a few. That is what a call a true giant.

Its alarming that its still same story since I last used the airport in Nov of 2011 enroute Lagos. The departure lounge was a canopy and the excuse we were given was that the airport is been 'reconstructed' please bear with us. 4yrs later nothing has improved.

keep quoting me but i insist that Ado-ekiti looks way better than Akure in terms of beauty.

My ranking goes:
1.Lagos
2.Ilorin
3.parts of Ibadan
4.Ado-ekiti
5.Akure
6. Abeokuta
7.Osogbo
8.Benin

have been to all d above
My dear don't compare the two towns, Akure is bigger and way modernised compared to Ado-ekiti. I live in Akure (oba-ile) and my job allows me cover the two towns. The OP didn't place the pix of the new Akure mall area that houses shoprite, filmhouse etc...

FamilyRe: I Am Falling Apart With My Mom by coldasice11(m): 3:34am On Dec 25, 2015
Bro, I think you are at that age when peole do this. At this age, you want to be labelled responsible and not people policing you about. And when they keep an eye on you, you become rebelious. Your mom wants the best for you. I know they can be over bearing, but its for you welfare. You know I used have same fights with my mom even till I turned 28. But now I can't go a day without talking to my mom. She is arguable by best friend. Growing up, my dad was working in Abuja, while we were in lagos. And I tell you taking care of 5 children, preparing them for school, doing household chores and taking care of her business was a hand full and one son will misbehave, she go just carry cane follow you no matter your age. Yet I chose to misbehave all the time. My mom could cry to nobody face to face except over the phone when my dad calls in the morning. Bro, you are your parent eldest child. Do you know you are your moms confidante if your dad isn't there? Your moms next husband incase of your dad's demise (God forbid). So bro, calm down with your mom, get busy if you aren't busy. Read more, get a job, no matter the job, at least what will take you out of her face for a while, get into a good relationship with a good lady probably your age or 2yrs younger. Do things that will make your mom really know you are growing up to be responsible. Get close to her, Confide in her. She still loves you so much and just said those awful things in the heat of the moment. Nothing can replace a mother's love. She still prays for you. So reconcile with your mom and turn a new leaf and things will work out fine. Its well with you.
