Politics / Re: Oil Companies Projected To Supply Dangote Refinery, Others 597,700 BPD Of Crude by COMPAQ(m): 5:58am On Aug 13
Faiththatworks:
I'm always amazed anytime I read negative stories about Dangote Refinery.
What I read online is totally different from the real situation on ground.
I can saw with all boldness that the Refinery is pumping out millions of litres of Diesel and Aviation fuel everyday.
Just last week Friday,I decided to take a trip from Ajah through epe to Ijebu-ode so I could link the Lagos-ibadan expressway,and what I saw was mind buggling.
I saw a line of more than 400 trailers queueing from the second toll gate at Ijebu-ode.
They were waiting for their turns to load these petroleum products,I was informed the Trailer park in the Refinery was filled with tankers and the trucks had to look for a place to park.
I daresay people in Ajah don't know what's happening in the Dangote Refinery axis cos the tankers don't go through the Lekki-Epe expressway to pick up fuel.
Only very ignorant people will believe all these negative propaganda against the Refinery,work is ramping up around that axis.
My own concern is the opportunities that axis presents for discerning Investors.
A piece of real estate on that corridor will be worth 3 to 4 times in the next few years.
Visit my signature now for how to invest in real estate on that axis now.
God bless Nigeria.

So all this your long post is too facilitate sale of your real estate. Not sure f why I want to be living within 10km of a refinery and chemical plant. When cancer starts in old age, one will be looking for the cause.
Politics / Re: Gas Pipeline Debuts In Eko Atlantic City by COMPAQ(m): 8:08am On Aug 08
SmartPolician:
This is a good development. This project must not fail so that other states in Nigeria can copy the model and replicate it in their states.

However, I personally think the properties in Eko Atlantic are overpriced in a third-world economy. Hence, companies aren't rushing to acquire lands and start developing their edifices. Those who cannot afford it hail the beautiful project while those who can afford it think it's overpriced.

However we are told that the entire phase 1 Eko Atlantic land had been bought. But most people have had their construction delayed by the economic crisis of the past 8 years.

And of course many other owners are land banking for future sales.

Botragelad:
I've been noticing a load of misinformation floating about, and I think it even made it onto the front page at one point. So, I'm just going to lift this(explanation below) straight from a source, not my own work, mind you and give a brief rundown of the whole thing.




It's quite straightforward, really, for those who can be bothered to read and do their own research without blindly following the crowd of misinformation.

Below, you'll find photos of her from when she was a youngster, as well as her record. And, might I add, she's had a few fight and come out on the losing end, too.

The explanation of her condition is understood, but that doesn't make it fair though. Testosterone is the key hormone that makes men who they are. A 'woman' having elevated levels of this hormone means she will have levels of muscle mass and stamina not typically associated with other women.

It is therefore not fair that she participates in women's sport.

Politics / Re: Lagos: Funsho Doherty Dumps ADC, Defects To PDP by COMPAQ(m): 8:44am On Jul 30
By way of quality,he was the best brain in the last election. Unfortunately ADC could never get him the ticket.

With PDP, he has much better chance. Also the fact that APC will have to field a new candidate means he has a bit more of a chance. Although APC still holds the benefit of incumbency.

Let's see if the Nigerian government has the balls to restrict BA from MMIA if they do not give us Heathrow.

Airport slots is heavy international politics though. Slots will not be kept idle for you. If your country has no airline, of course the slot will be given to someone else and they will not want to release it now .
Travel / Re: Lagos Red Line rail Begin Trial Run With Focus Group (Check Schedule) by COMPAQ(m): 9:08pm On Jul 24
seunny4lif:

Akure to Ore and Owena to Ifon via Akure, Owo road are the busiest roads in Ondo state
An average of 10K cars per month for those roads.
The roads are too narrow, which causes many accidents.
Imagine perfect lanes from anywhere in Ondo state to the coastline area.
Ondo state has nice beaches that can generate billions of dollars in investment for the state if only the governors had the sense to develop roads and trains.
Akure to Okitipupa is less than 100KM which can be done in a 1:15 hr if running at even 100KM/per but right now it will take you over 3hrs



First of all we have an over inflated opinion of how rich we are in this country. Even if our leaders were not corrupt, we are still not that rich.

Secondly, everyone seems to think their areas deserves 3 lane roads. There has to be an economic benefit to spending money to dualise a road. Ore to Akure is a bit busy, but in my view not really busy enough to warrant a dualisation. It could get by on a well reconstructed single lane road in each direction. The issue is a poorly maintained road, not necessarily the fact that is it's single road.
If it was a spotless single lane road, the accidents you mention may not be an issue.

Culture / Re: How Ooni Companies Executed Biggest Fraud In Nigeria’s Real Estate History - FIJ by COMPAQ(m): 6:43pm On Jul 18
kolafolabi:
This is a significant allegation against Ooni Ogunwusi. I pray the claims are untrue, but if they are indeed true, it would be a major problem. Such allegations can undermine trust in the real estate sector and have wide-ranging implications for all stakeholders involved. It's crucial for thorough investigations to be conducted to ascertain the facts and ensure justice is served.

They are very true.

Politics / Re: PH Refinery Receives 1 Million Barrells Of Crude, Gets License For Take-Off by COMPAQ(m): 8:09am On Jul 16
JASONjnr:
The cabal that dangote claimed are more brutal than drugs cabal will likely stop this from functioning after a while.......



The problem with Nigeria is having food to eat as a family, but also having bad family members who wants to see others stay hungry because they can secretly steal the food to fill up their stomachs while pretending to be hungry with the rest of the family.

Cabals can only stop progress if the government is not serious and has no political will. Why did cabals not stop GSM? If PH refinery is set up as a profit center within NNPC, with no interference in its operations by NNPC and government and payment of refinery staff comes solely from what they generate, they will sit up to keep their jobs.

A friend who just arrived Canada said he is also receiving close to a million naira monthly pending till he finds a job.

Our politicians do travel to those countries, they have kids, friends and family there, but for them to replicate the same always hard for them to do

1 million naira might sound like a lot to us here, was in the US that's just $666! Trust me, no full grown adult can survive on that in a month in the US if he's paying bills, not to talk off with the family.

Politics / Re: FG Suspends Approval For Construction Of New Roads by COMPAQ(m): 9:02am On Jul 03
Max24:
Probably result of feedback. Tinubu is more responsive to good advice than Buhari. Buhari would have behaved as if he was deaf. What Nigeria needs is not a perfect leader but one that is responsive to constructive criticism. While Tinubu is not perfect he is a real democrat and the President Nigeria should have. Mark my words, Tinubu will end up being the best president Nigeria will have.

I sort of agree, but then he still approved his Coastal road project first, which is a contract given to his crony company Hi Tech.

Ordinarily, this coastal road should not have been awarded when we have the Lagos - Shagamu - Ore road in shambles!! As Well as most of the East West road, particularly Warri - Benin. The only section of the coastal road that is required and necessary now is the portion from Victoria Island to the Free Trade Zone to provide alternative transport to the over crowded Lekki - Epe expressway.

I know of the cost of production and a also know of the under declaration by the production companies.

The question now, should be, what happened to the non oil revenue which constitute almost 50% of the revenue shared at FAAC,despite the under declaration by the collection agencies and also corruption been displayed?

Guy, you no sabi. FG through NNPC owns only about 55% of the crude based on it's equity where in most joint ventures. Which silly under declaration? We always like to point the finger at others for our problems

Politics / Re: Dangote Refinery's Electricity Surpasses Nigeria’s Eleven Years Capacity by COMPAQ(m): 5:19pm On Jun 26
grandstar:


Discos and Gencos have never pointed fingers at generator importers for sabotaging power supply. Never!

The problem is that power companies are forced to sell power at a subsidized prixe which obviously does not cover the cost of producing and distributing it.The price isn't cost reflective.

Government was supposed to make up for the subsidy but hasn't. The government owe Gencos $1.3bn and Discos N1.3trillion. Government has no money to pay subsidies

Only Band A customers pay a cost reflective price. As long as consumers pay a subsidized price, expect epileptic power supply


In Nigeria, we love to find people to blame stuff on. There is always one cartel or cabal causing everything wrong with us.

If these smaller refineries exist, where are they getting crude oil? Even dangote refinery is unable to source crude oil locally and is importing from USA.

Are you comparing demand of 5,000 barrels to demand of 650,000 barrels?
