Too much of everything is bad, I hate curry and thyme in soup and stew. |
Beautiful |
Just in case |
l need some answers to this question, how can someone who is not available score higher than one who is?.......how can he be persuasive, when he's not present?.........tanx in anticipation |
snoopy: Your statement is highly contradictory sir. You agreed infrastructural development started before the oil boom and they stated that infrastructural development wasn't implemented due to lack of funds....it is also pertinent to note that MOST of the basic infrastructure was built BEFORE the oil boom and NOT after. Our top universities were built and nutured to world class standards with proceeds from agriculture before neglect set in...most of the basic institutions were also built with such proceeds and the same government has failed to maintain these infrastructure with current proceeds from oil so i fail to understand your argument sir.Get your facts right sir, when did we gain independence, what year was University of Nigeria and University of ibadan founded, are you still on the fact that it was funded through Agriculture |
snoopy: They don't operate refineries in Nigeria sir plus these oil majors have in recent times been reluctant to pursue new investments in Nigeria due to security concernsThey still have the highest number of shares in the oil industry. A question for you: what do you use in cooking your vegetables ? Kerosene, gas.... |
snoopy: Again what sectors of the economy are these investments coming in? and i will appreciate some examples as well because these claims appear to be vagueSectors that deals with daily offering of goods and services to Nigerians, and who depend solely on natural gas, petrol, kerosene etc. |
snoopy: in what aspect of the economy are these "investments" because if you are referring to the oil industry, dominant players like shell are actually divesting their assets in Nigeria as a result of the immense corruption that abound in the system.The oil sector is the major force in which foreign investors are coming into the country, this serve as a tool for other sectors boom. |
snoopy: these "beautiful" statistics will appear to the ordinary man on the street as a disrespect to his sensibilities, as these are self-serving indices that has only benefited the ruling class and has not translated to a better life for the ordinary citizens, how do you reconcile that ma'am?I want to point it to you that the federal government generates funds from the oil and gas sector, which in the long run is distributed to other states of the federation. |
snoopy: 1 million? that figure is bogus and highly questionable ma'am, even to the most ignorant Nigerian, do you by any chance have any references to establish the credibility of these figures?The figures are not bogus, it should be noted that we have those drilling the oil well as well as those supervising them. |
Pls give my partner some time, he's just leaving the lecture room. He will post his essay soonest. |
My esteemed Judges, Coordinators, Fellow co-debaters, informed audience, all other protocols duly observed. I remain my humble self, gbemmie09, second speaker representing Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba Akoko and I'm opposing the Topic that says: IT IS BETTER TO EXTEND OUR FOCUS AS A NATION TO AGRICULTURAL SECTOR RATHER THAN MAJOR IN OIL AND GAS. The impact of oil and gas sector in Nigeria, can not be overlooked for the development of the economy. Therefore, the history must be given. Oil and gas operations commenced in Nigeria effectively in 1956, with the first commercial find in that year by the then shell D' Arcy. Before thus time that is, from November 1938, almost the entire country was convered by a concession granted to the company to explore for petroleum resources. This dominant role of shell in the Nigeria oil industry continued for many years until Nigeria's membership of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971, after which the country began to take a firmer control of its oil and gas resources in line with the practice of the other members of OPEC. This period witnessed the emergence of National oil companies (NOCs) across OPEC member countries, with the soil objective of monitoring the state of the oil-producing countries in the exploitation of the resources. Whereas in some OPEC member countries the NOCs took direct control of production operations. In Nigeria, the Multinational oil companies (MNOCs) were allowed to continue with such operations under Joint Operating Agreements (JOA) which clearly specified the respective stake of the companies and the Government of Nigeria in the Ventures . This period also witnessed the arrival on the scene of other MNOCs such as Gulf oil and Texaco (chevron Texaco), Elf petroleum (now Total), Mobil (now Exxon Mobil) and Agip in addition to shell, which was already playing a dominant role in the industry. These other companies were also operating under JOAs with NNPC with varying percentages of stakes in their respective acreages. To date, the above companies constitute the major players in Nigeria's oil Industry with shell accounting for just a little less than 50% of Nigeria's total daily production, which currently stands at about 2.4 million barrels of oil per day. The emergence of offshore oil and gas operations and the granting of deep water acreages to the oil producing companies has however witnessed a shift from JOA regimes to production sharing contracts (PSCs), with implications for the operation and regulation of the oil industry in Nigeria. This shift is attributable to a number of factors ranging from the complexity of operations in the offshore terrain. Furthermore, some of the impact of the petroleum sector on the economy would be highlighted. The question is: Is the Agricultural sector or oil and gas the only saviour to Nigeria economy. The petroleum sectors have contributed immensely to Revenue generation in the country. Right from the 1970s to present, oil has been the major source of foreign exchange earnings and government revenue. In spite of decline, revenue from oil today counts for over 90% of the government revenue. As stated by Egbuna (1989), the entire corporate workforce of NNPC has grown to about 18000 people spanning through their major areas of activities nation wide. Although this number is considered large for a single cooperation. It is even infirmitesimal when one imagines the up to one million Nigerians who are directly or indirectly earning their living from the activities in the petroleum sector of the economy from the upstream to the downstream sector I.e from exploration to drilling and refining down to distribution marking of the product. Again the oil sector has helped in the case of foreign investment. There had been a remarkable increase in the foreign investment and this is made possible by the oil wealth. This foreign investment have however, provided employment for Nigerians, created goods and services in the economy and stimulated the growth of subsidiary firms. It has also helped in positive economic growth and development since the oil revenue constitute the bulk of the government income right from 1970s, noticeable projects and investments have been carried out successfully with the revenue. This is evident in the rapid increase in the economy's wealth of infrastructural facilities and amenities within the period of oil boom. Revenue from the oil in the 1970s formed the catalytic substantially the height of development of the Nigeria economy. Thus, it was during the period that Nigeria was decorated with the accolade "THE GIANT OF AFRICA" REFERENCES: http://www.doublegist.com/oil-sector-impact-development-nigerian-economy http://www.hollerafrica.com/showArticle.php?artId=85&catId=2 |

Ayomitide77: I dnt think I have that time cos I hav lectures throughout 2day and 2moro.Maybe finestboi will have to consider me and my partner.Pls we are pleading, help us with d date of d debate. Aaua had resume and we are bombarded wit lectures. |
yuzedo: I was hoping you’d cite the source of this information and provide an immediate link to back up this assertion. Honestly, you didn’t put forth any argument in your opening statement; you only supplied known information.http://www.hudsongrp.com/1/post/2013/08/what-are-the-advantages-of-social-media-to-students.html |
damoskiy: i disagree ma....if i have access to all your information i can send kidnappers after you and get down with you.The above highlighted was made by snoppy, my question is: is social network the only means of perpetuating such vices? |
Nowadays, the classroom has lost its sanctity as cases of intimate harassments and other vices between teachers and students are increasing in geometric rates and the benefit of facelessness and anonymity which some social networking websites offer could help to further perpetuate such vices and even take it to an advanced level if a teacher-student relationship on social networks is encouraged. |
damoskiy: That is the reason every teacher must know their students.Social network serve as a medium of interaction, in which the teacher can give extra classes online to less participating students.Lead to what? Teachers have policy guiding them, so they know when to draw a line when interacting with their students. |
damoskiy: We have students who are stubborn, |
