PoliticsRe: 300 Trucks In Dangote Refinery To Lift Petrol On Sunday – NNPC by Deepthoughts: 12:34pm On Sep 15, 2024

https://dailypost.ng/2024/09/14/300-trucks-in-dangote-refinery-to-lift-petrol-on-sunday-nnpc/
There is something sinister about the involvement of NNPC with the dangote refinery operations,come to think of it,why can't NNPC sell the crude to dangote in naira n let dangote fix his own price n sell directly to his customers?,there was a story yesterday on another media that nnpcl will be selling to marketers at #765 while the marketers are expected to sell to Nigerians at between #850-#900 but no mention was made of how much nnpc would be buying from Dangote!,now assuming dangote is selling at #700,if marketers we're to buy directly at this rate then the pump price shouldn't be more than #800 or #850 at most which would be fair enough n going forward if the operations of the refinery can help to improve the rate of the naira the price could even decreased.Its now clear that all the noise all along was to create an avenue for the oil cabals to continue to feed off helpless Nigerians,most painful enough the government is undoubtedly not unaware or not part of it,I have a feeling dangote is not happy with this whole scenario but his hands are tied,someday in the future the whole truth would be exposed,why should something produced here in Nigeria has to go round so many entities before getting to the buyers?,why is this so particular with petrol n not other products?

The government through the NNPC are never sincere,they are the cause of the high cost,now they have reach an agreement with dangote for only the NNPC to offtake dangote's fuel then resell to other marketers who would then sell to Nigerians,what sort of evil arrangements is that for a product producted in Nigeria?,why can every customer buy n load directly from Dangote including nnpc retail?,they have craftly created a system that would guarantees their continuos exploitation of poor Nigerians n people are here justifying it with nonsense Gramma,,It was clear at least to me long ago that this was the ultimate plan behind all the hurdles n delays,at this point I don't know if dangote is helpless in this unholy arrangements or he willfully agreed to it,but someday the truth will emerge.
TravelRe: Why Airplanes / Aircrafts Have A Hole In The Back Of Their Tails by Deepthoughts: 8:50pm On Sep 13, 2024
farady:
Airplanes are designed to fly at much higher speeds than 40 km/h (25 mph). The minimum speed for most commercial airliners is around 250-300 km/h (155-186 mph), while general aviation aircraft and small planes can fly at slower speeds, typically around 100-150 km/h (62-93 mph).

Flying at 40 km/h (25 mph) is extremely challenging, if not impossible, for several reasons:

1. Lift: Airplanes need sufficient speed to generate lift, which is the upward force that counteracts weight. At low speeds, the wings may not produce enough lift to keep the plane airborne.
2. Control: Airplanes rely on airflow over the control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, and rudder) to maintain control. At very low speeds, these surfaces may not be effective, making the plane difficult to control.
3. Stall speed: Every airplane has a stall speed, below which it cannot fly. Stall speed varies depending on the aircraft, but it's typically around 50-100 km/h (31-62 mph). Flying at 40 km/h (25 mph) would likely put the plane below its stall speed.

However, some specialized aircraft, like:

1. Sailplanes (gliders)
2. Ultralight aircraft
3. Microlight aircraft
4. Some military aircraft (e.g., STOL - Short Takeoff and Landing planes)

can fly at slower speeds, sometimes even below 40 km/h (25 mph), due to their unique designs and capabilities.

Keep in mind that flying at such low speeds is usually only done in specific situations, like landing or taking off in short distances, and requires highly skilled pilots.

Copied
Thank you so so much for your very detailed answer,now please are there,1. passenger planes that are capable of VTOL(vertical takeoff and landing)?,2.passenger helicopters that can carry up to twenty persons at a time?

Now I think this is the real situation, because dangote imported his crude abroad n transported it to Nigeria couple with other expenses,it total cost was high,so the cost of pms from this production is high n not sustainable so dangote want the government to come in pending when he can get crude locally to beat down cost or the cabal are carefully executing schemes behind forcing dangote to work along with them to key in their interest before dangote hits the market,come to think of it,what would be the fate of the numerous large tank farms in Lagos and else where when dangote finally get fully functional?, will the owners of these investment just give them up like that without some manoeuvring?what about other entities with vested interest in the petroleum import business?,if Nigeria don't get a descent leader to lead her,we shall continue to lament indefinitely.

Since NNPC has denied being the sole off taker from the refinery, cab the refinery tell us how much a liter will cost from them. At least we can compare with the imported ones and decide.
Be sincere with yourself, considering that dangote imported his crude as NNPC has failed or refuse to sell crude to him,how does anyone expect dangote's petrol to be cheaper?,these people are only out to frustrate dangote but las las dangote will laugh at Nigeria

Grandstar has broken down the cost of refining a liter of petrol. It is 720 naira. Add transport costs which are going to be high because diesel is not subsidized, and taxes and loan repayments , and you see the issue.
Let dangote speak for himself,but what I know is this,if dangote buys crude from abroad the refined pms would certainly be higher but if dangote can get crude from nnpc which is very doubtful,the refined pms would be lower in price,the government n nnpc are never sincere n transparent in this matter at all, it's such a shame.
PoliticsRe: Mystery Of Dangote Refinery In Nigerian Oil Politics By Farooq Kperogi by Deepthoughts: 1:40pm On Sep 07, 2024
nairalanda1:
cheesy

The answer is simple

Once fuel starts coming out of the refinery, fuel prices will jump up to over 1000 naira. Otherwise, dangote refinery would be scrap in ten years time.

The tinubu government knows that if that happens it is game over for them. They may not even last till 2027.

That is the real reason..forget all this long story.

The government does not want to increase fuel price or remove subsidy. They know it would destroy them.
No, rather what I believe about all these is that,if dangote is allowed to freely fix his price it may be between #700-#800 per litre n majorly, dangote functioning fully will render all the numerous tank farms built for import business useless,cut out the massive corrupt benefits of the oil cabal n other looses,so they are all trying to ensure that dangote agreed to a price regime to cater for their continuos interests too.

Everything Reno the obi avid hater wrote up their is true in this case,but let Tinubu allow dangote refinery itself to fix their pms price like they did for diesel, I'm sure on his own dangote's price would be below #800,the government is surely manipulating the who thing to key in their selfish interests.

Is there anything about this administration that clean clear n straight forward at all?,if not fraud n deceit how can the FEC be the one to determine the price of the product of a private company where the raw material for production is not subsidized?, it's now clear that all hurdles placed against dangote n the increase in fuel prices were all planned schemes to force dangote into an unholy cooperation n fix an artificial fuel pump price to factor in their selfish continuous exploitation of Nigerians,I don't blame dangote as he was boxed in n had to make a choice out a terrible situation,now going forward we should expect a government crony to be spokesman for dangote who would always be giving reasons to align with government position on any fuel matter from Dangote refinery where the same government couldn't even pay for there forced shares!, Nigeria don really enter, everybody go hear am

Olaide1295:
The problem with petrol usage in Nigeria is that it's being smuggled across borders.
There would be no scarcity if our people were not smuggling. There is little govt. can do because custom officials are also Nigerians like us.
There's surely something the government can do,generate revenue massively locally and stop borrowing to strengthen the naira to make our fuel not attractive for smuggling,how can government generate the revenue?, here's how,get a list of the top 20 already registered n public quoted construction companies in Nigeria n other reputable foreign ones,divide the network of Nigerian dilapidated roads into lots of 200km each, contract out the lots to the companies to construct n toll the roads on an agreed sharing formula,talk to Nigerians sincerely to understand your intention,let the companies immediately make the roads usable n build the toll gates immediately n let the revenue rebuild the roads to standard n the excess to be use for other things, establish security camps on the road n eliminate unnecessary check points,you can imagine the millions of jobs this scheme would create n the trillions that would be generated, this is all possible within a year with decent leadership.

RomanceRe: Why Are Guys No Longer Persistent, When Chasing Or Toasting Ladies? by Deepthoughts: 1:56pm On Aug 26, 2024
essentialone:
There's this guy who started working at my workplace in February last year. Of all the ladies that were there, he chose to make only me his friend. We got along well. He asked a lot of questions, and I gave him detailed responses, I was indirectly orienting him. Within a few weeks, he was already receiving accolades from our boss for working hard and being diligent.

All the ladies started throwing themselves at him, but he didn't really mind anyone. He kept only me as his friend, and it made me happy and proud.

About two months later, he invited me for dinner at a restaurant around the airport residential area. I went, and after we had spoken for long, he made it known to me that he admired me and would love for us to start a relationship.

I was already in l0ve with him before he made that proposal but I didn't want him to feel like I was yearning for him or I already wanted it like the other ladies so I turned down his proposal at that moment. He didn't talk much, he just said it was fine and then we went home.
Days later, he got me a flower and some perfumes and added a note that he wanted me to reconsider his proposal. That was where I fell completely in love with him but I wanted to play hard to catch so I told him I wasn't ready, that I was still recovering from my ex and was scared of men.

He tried again for the third time by taking me to the beach and trying to convince me he was different. I told him at the beach to give me some days to think about it. Three days later, he asked if I had thought of something, and my response was simply "not yet."

Bro Kwaku, can you believe that from that time till the guy never asked me anything concerning relationship again? I waited days for him to ask, so I tell him I was ready, but he never did. He only discussed work, work, work with me. I was single and waiting for him to just raise it.

What should I do now as a Lady?

To solve this problem is so simple,most of the money being recieve by the NASS members is for constituency projects which is an abnormality,so if Tinubu is serious about stopping it,he should simply send an executive bill to the NASS on strict seperatio of powers n activities of the various arms of government barring each arm from playing roles of another arm n let's see how the NASS would react to that.
