Fake news . The op is a bastard posting stale news.

Hez143:

A modular refinery is a simplified refinery requiring significantly less capital investment than traditional full-scale refinery facilities. The initial process, or Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) allows for simple distillation of crude oil into low octane naphtha, diesel, kerosene and residual fuel oil.

Abagworo:
Modular refineries are restricted from Petrol production that's the problem. The refinery has been operational for years producing mainly AGO and other products

eghuan1:



I'm not doubting the refinery becoming operational but the capacity put here is not correct.

The capacity of refineries is measured in barrels and not in liters.

The three refineries owned by government that has served Nigeria for long produce approximately is 33,000 barrels per day at maximum production. Though this has fallen to about 6,000 per day.

Dangote had the capacity to produce 6,500 barrels of crude per day.

Then you're talking of a modular refinery approximately 37,000 barrels because a barrel is 159 Liters.

If you divide 6million Liters by 159 (which is 1 barrel) it will give you 37,735.85 barrels per day. Knowing that a modular refinery is a simplified refinery requiring significantly less capital investment than traditional full-scale refinery facilities.

So if three full scale refineries at full capacity is producing 33,000 barrels per day, then you don't expect one modular refinery to produce more than the three full scale refinery put together.

Gajagojo:
600 million is not correct

God1000:
Good news, too many innocent people have died.

It appears netanyahu government is finally bowing to international pressure, though we need more than 5 days of truce.

We need a complete cessation of hostilities, Israel should not expand military offensive into southern Gaza where it has told civilians to take shelter because they are planning to do so.

I have no problem with any country fighting a terror war, but it becomes an issue if you end up killing tens of thousands of civilians and not the actual terrorists you claim to be fighting and then disregard international humanitarian law by cutting food, water, fuel and electricity to civilian population

such collective punishment is evil and it's against christian values.


To my fellow christian brothers and sisters supporting the genocide, where is your good heart?

MoU turn streetlight Governor, He would be remembered for fighting all his benefactors.

A Nigerian graduate, Olutimain Ilenre, has narrated why he burnt his original certificates.

The History and International Studies graduate from Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) in Oyo State set his certificates on fire.

Ilenre burnt his Bachelor of Arts, West African Examinations Council (WAEC), University Degree and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Certificates.

In a video released on social media on Monday, Ilenre said he burnt his certificates due to a lack of a job, adding that the current situation in the country has rendered his certificates useless.

“To get a certificate in this country is like a waste of time,” he lamented.

The Nigerian graduate added that even when travelling out of the country, the certificates are rendered useless.

He noted that he had been unable to sleep in the last week after he recalled that all the jobs he had done for the past 13 years were jobs for which his certificates were not needed.

Ilenre, therefore, advised Nigerian youth to learn handwork due to the country’s present realities and urged parents to empower their children to learn handwork and trade.

“I finished school in 2010 and did my NYSC in 2010/2011; till today, I haven’t used these certificates to get a job,” Ilenre said

The JAPA syndrome is like an epidemic and it is very contagious. Over the years, I have seen people who don’t need to relocate do it. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Even when it is, the species of grass might choke or purge you if you feed on it. The UK and Canada are facing similar challenges. They have been stretched thin by a high migration rate.

Below is a list of people who don’t need to JAPA even if it is for free:


(1) Big earners (N2 million and above):

If your monthly salary is in the range of N2 million and above, it might be in your best interest to stay back in Nigeria, except if you are coming with an employment letter with commensurate pay with your local earnings. As of today, the blue-collar jobs that constitute the saving grace of migrants have become scarce. The white collar jobs have also become harder to get due to the high influx of people to the UK.

(2) Corrupt politicians:

If you are a serious contender and not a pretender in politics in Nigeria, you have no business in the UK. You can travel there for tourism purposes anyway. We all know politics in Nigeria is the most lucrative business around. Despite the cash crunch, the members of the House of Representatives still took delivery of 360 brand new exotic cars costing between N160 – N200 million purportedly. Only an established footballer or a mega music star can live like that in the UK. For a footballer, you have to be constantly banging week in and week out like Erling Haaland of Manchester City.

(3) Popular pastors:

If you have a growing religious ministry as a pastor and your position is putting quality meals on your table either directly or indirectly, you should stay back in Nigeria. Culturally, people in the UK don’t give. It is like a taboo to give out money without a concrete reason. They are largely irreligious and no scripture in the Bible can convince them to do so.

(4) Yahoo Boys:

If you are part of the Easy Money Gang, the UK isn’t for you. You are advised to remain in Nigeria where you can play ‘catch and release’ with highly corrupt law enforcement agents. The UK is arguably the most surveilled country in the world. It is a place where action and consequences strictly go hand in hand. If you get caught doing internet fraud, you will head to jail faster than you made it into the country.

(5) Music Artistes:

If you are making reasonable money from the entertainment industry as a musician, Nigeria is the right place for you. Since relocating to the UK might give your public profile a boost, your account balance might compete with a mustard seed in terms of size. If music was easy here, Naira Marley would have remained in Peckham, London where has was a kingpin.

(6) Business Owners:

If you are an employer of labour and you have a decent staff strength, you don’t need the UK to better your life. All you need is patience and concerted efforts to expand your network. Your business might grow and become a force to be reckoned with in the league of businesses in Nigeria. On the contrary, if you are struggling to pay a monthly salary of N20,000 or N30,000, people leave Nigeria immediately and stop being a part of the Nigerian problem.

(7) Runs Girls:

If you clandestinely work in the informal ‘hospitability and pleasure industry’, and the job has earned you a car that is uploadable on social media, continue the ‘good work’. There is a saying that ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. Making money with the honeypot is extremely difficult in the UK. Men would rather stay faithful to their wives than pay a nominal leg to a lady for just some minutes or pleasure. You will also face competition from other women who passionately give it out for free. You might have to wait for ages for a footballer to come your way before you can experience the Indian Summer.

8. Age range: 50 and above:

In my honest opinion, I think relocation suits the youth more compared to the elderly. As an older person, you can only be shielded from economic uncertainties if an unscrupulous politician hides billions of Naira in your bank accounts. If you are in your 50s, life in the UK could frustrate you except you get an executive job. Working your way up as a student, family man, and part-time carer or warehouse staff will be overwhelming for you. I will not be shocked if you wake up one day and decide to run into a moving train or jump out of the window of a high-rise building in a bid to end it all.

(9) Father Abraham:

If you are the father Abraham, I mean you have many children – This is not unconnected to the fact that you would require domestic and family support in catering for them. For domestic support, it is not easily affordable. Family support is hard because everyone is busy. A colleague of mine has massive grey hair at such a sound age. I found this very mind-boggling. He recently confided in me that he came to the UK with six biological children of his. Trust me, those hairs will soon start to fall off.

(10) Civil Service Director/Bank Manager:

I will explain this on a personal note. I have met some former Nigerian bank managers hustling in the UK. Their reasons for relocating have never convinced me enough. Most say they did it for the future of their kids, others say it was due to the level of insecurity in Nigeria. In my view, leaving for the UK as a top management staff in the private or public sectors isn’t worth it. Your mental health would suffer significantly due to adaptability issues.

On a closing note, before you Japa, get your facts right. Don’t do it because people are doing it. What nourishes Emeka’s body might incapacitate his brother, Nnamdi. Don’t join the long list of attention-seeking Nigerians who hastily relocate and later open the Book of Lamentations on YouTube, just to vent their frustration.

Israel reveals lavish lifestyle of Hamas leaders as Palestinians in Gaza sufferVideo

Israel reveals lavish lifestyle of Hamas leaders as Palestinians in Gaza suffer.
FOX News' Eric Shawn shared details on Hamas leaders' luxurious lifes tyles of private jets, hotel suites and mansions.

They are living the Hamas high life.
While the people of Gaza live in poverty and have suffered under the horrors of Hamas, the terror group's leaders apparently are living high on the hog.

Israeli officials say Hamas leaders are billionaires, amassing an overwhelming jackpot of terror money for themselves.

"It's just really the numbers that are shocking, looking at the sheer amount of money that some of these terror chiefs have been able to sock away," Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for research at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News.

ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT HITS 1-MONTH MARK; IDF SAYS HAMAS HAS 'WAGED WAR ON HUMANITY'

"There is no accountability in these countries that support terrorism, that are effectively state sponsors of terrorism. They could care less whether the Hamas leaders are doing things that are unjust."

Hamas bosses Khaled Mashaal and Ismail Haniyeh are worth an estimated $4 billion each, and political bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzouk is worth $3 billion.

"The longer they stay away from the Gaza Strip, the more they live in the lap of luxury," Schanzer said.

The terror group is estimated to earn more than $1 billion a year from a global network that includes cryptocurrency, real estate, legitimate business and taxing and extorting Gaza residents. The U.S. Treasury department has slapped sanctions of dozens of Hamas honchos, but the vast number of shell companies and financial maneuvering has made Hamas one of the richest terrorist organizations in the world.

Photos show Hamas leader Mashaal playing table tennis, as well as squeezing in a workout on a treadmill in what appears to be a hotel gym.

Reports have long claimed that one of the Hamas leaders' base of operations has been the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha, Qatar. In 2015, Mashaal held a press conference in the hotel's ballroom, where he attacked Israel. And it was said he spent a lot of his time at the property. Four Seasons touts its property as being "reimagined with modern grandeur and sparkling with sunlight and sea views. From the elegant lobby to energetic restaurants and lounges, our beachfront urban retreat has been transformed into a vibrant hotspot."

ISRAEL KILLS TOP HAMAS WEAPONS DEVELOPER, IDF SAYS

In a statement to Fox News, the company said, "Four Seasons confirms that Ismail Haniyeh is not living at or staying at Four Seasons Hotel Doha. Information circulating on social media suggesting otherwise is not true." Requests for comment from Fox News about other Hamas leaders have not yet been answered.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has introduced legislation, "The Hamas Sanctions Act," that would block Hamas’ ability to find safe havens abroad, including in Qatar or Turkey. The legislation would impose sanctions on "hotels, landlords, banks, and similar businesses in allied countries that provide services to Hamas leaders," and would potentially classify countries, like Qatar and Turkey, "as state sponsors of terrorism for hosting Hamas."

"The United States needs to reevaluate our policy toward these billionaire Hamas leaders and the countries that provide them shelter," Cruz told Fox News. "These leaders live in the territory of American allies, where they live in luxury in mansions and exclusive hotels. The Biden administration should sanction everyone involved in these outrages. And if they don’t, Congress should force them to."

Schanzer said Qatar and Turkey, two countries that have provided safe havens for Hamas honchos, should be singled out, too.

FAMILIES BEG HAMAS 'MONSTERS' TO RETURN LOVED ONES 1 MONTH AFTER TERROR IN ISRAEL BEGAN

"Both of these countries openly harbor and finance Hamas," Schanzer said. "They should be designated as state sponsors of terror. They should have their banks cut off from the U.S. system. We should start to impose real penalties on these governments."

He claimed Doha and Ankara pitch in about $150 million a year each into Hamas' coffers, but that the terror group's sugar daddy has long been Iran.

"The first and most meaningful step that the United States can take to cut off Hamas funding would be to stop giving money to Iran," said Schanzer.

"We helped sponsor Iran’s proxies. That cannot continue to happen. That means no more hostage diplomacy, no $6 billion in exchange for hostages. None of that can happen if we want to cut off Hamas and Hezbollah and the other terrorist organizations."

The Treasury Department said it is "taking swift and decisive action to target Hamas’ financiers and facilitators… to deny Hamas terrorists the ability to raise and use funds to carry out atrocities and terrorize the people of Israel."

The Biden administration sanctioned numerous Hamas officials and financial operations after the Oct. 7 massacre, including cash transfer operations in Gaza and operations in Qatar and Turkey.

"Much like many Russian elites, senior Hamas officials often live in luxury, while the average Gazan faces dire living conditions," Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said during a speech at the Royal United Services Institute in London last month.

"The United States has targeted nearly 1,000 individuals and entities connected to terrorism and terrorist financing by the Iranian regime and its proxies, including Hamas, Hezbollah and other Iran-aligned terrorist groups in the region."

Despite the crackdown, Hamas' big shots continue to be ensconced in Qatar and Turkey.

Qatar said it will revisit its relations with Hamas after the war, and the government of Turkish President Recep Erdoğan said it has no plans to change its backing of Hamas.

Israel-Hamas war: Oyo Muslims protest, hold solidarity rally in support of Palestinians.

Hundreds of Muslims in Oyo State on Saturday staged a peaceful protest in solidarity with Palestinians, who they described as the victims of the ongoing war between Israel and Palestine militant group, Hamas.

DAILY POST reports that the protest started at the Iwo Road under bridge around 9:00 am and culminated at OTM Mosque in Iwo Road around 12:00 pm.

The protesters, who gathered at Iwo Road, noted that many innocent lives have been lost as a result of the war.

They explained that they organised the rally in solidarity with Palestinians, who they said have been adversely affected by the war.

Our correspondent reports that the protesters were surrounded by security men, including men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Police, to prevent a breakdown of law and order.

Those who were at the rally organised by Congruence of Islamic Organisations in the state
include top Islamic scholars, clerics and leaders of various Muslim organisations.

Some of those who spoke at the rally include Grand Mufti, Conference of Islamic Organisations, Lagos, Sheikh Dhirulahi Shafi, Dr Daud Amao Alaga, Barrister Abdulrahman Olaiya and a professor of Chemical Engineering, Modiu Durowoju.

The protesters, during the rally, called for an urgent peace process to bring the war to an end.
The professor of Chemical Engineering, Modiu Durowoju, who addressed journalists on behalf of the protesters, said that the international community led by the United Nations must retrieve the peace process from the monopoly of the United States.

He also suggested that the UN should prevail upon Israel to cease its bombing campaigns of Gaza and other areas.

He said, “The international community led by the United Nations should prevail upon Israel to cease its bombing campaigns of Gaza and other areas which has brought horror not just to the Palestinians but to the world.

“The United Nations should lead efforts at creating humanitarian corridors and ensuring that aid and relief packages have access into Gaza and other places.

“Any interim peace process must as a matter of necessity, incorporate the lifting of the siege of Gaza.

“The international community led by the UN must retrieve the peace process from the monopoly of the United States which has become part of the Israeli occupation machinery.

The world must work to bring Israel to the Two-States solution, compel it to halt settlement building and lift its siege of Gaza."

MrEverest:


More like propaganda to deceive gullible ones. Firstly, they claimed it 6000 bpd and later claimed they will refine 300,000. They didn't make it clear the 300,000 is their feedstock that would last for long time and not daily production.

Foolish people.

As the Supreme Court commences hearing on the February 25, 2023 Presidential Election Appeal, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says it is confident that, guided by the provisions of the law, the body of evidence, circumstances, and facts presented before it, the Apex Court will deliver justice in the matter.


In a statement signed by Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, the main opposition party said it believes that the issues of the February 2023 Presidential election—the alleged violation of rules and laws, the brazen manipulations and falsifications in perversion of the country’s electoral process—have put democracy in a precarious situation.

According to the party, Nigerians and indeed the whole world look forward to the Supreme Court for justice in the hope that the Court will apply the laws, including the express provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2022 and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Guidelines and Regulations in delivering substantial justice in the matter.


The PDP said the earnest expectation of Nigerians and lovers of democracy across the world is that the Supreme Court will use this case to firmly validate the maxim that the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.

“Nigerians are therefore optimistic in hoping that the Supreme Court will dispense substantial Justice according to law and fact in the Appeal,” the party said.

E-hailing drivers under the aegis of the Amalgamated Union of App-based Transporters of Nigeria have decried the increase in the level of job loss among its members following the withdrawal of investors.

The union lamented that vehicle owners were selling their vehicles due to the country’s dwindling economy.

Speaking in an interview with Saturday PUNCH, the AUATWON spokesperson, Jossy Olawale, stated that investors were finding it difficult to cope due to the increase in the price of petrol and maintenance costs.

He said, “Now, some investors who bought cars and gave it to drivers are finding it hard to cope. They are selling out their cars and withdrawing from the business. This is reducing the numbers of drivers daily which is really affecting some of our members because many people are losing their jobs.

“On our various platforms, we see people requesting for cars because their car owners have withdrawn their cars as they cannot cope with the current situation. The issue is that once your car becomes faulty, the amount you had saved for three months may not be enough to repair it.”

Speaking further, he said, “That is why we have been calling on the government to support us with the alternative CNG that they have been talking about because we are the worst hit by the removal of subsidy and increase in the pump price of fuel.”

In June, the union protested against the high commission rates set by Uber and Bolt despite the increase in petrol pump prices which dwindled their revenue generation.

They also demanded the protection of the drivers, as some attacks and killings were recorded in some parts of the country.

He also said the details of passengers should be revealed to the drivers before pick-up for safety precautions.

He said, “During the protest in June, we requested that there should be a reduction in our commission and increase in fare as well as the security of drivers because we don’t know the identity of the drivers. Up till now, there has been no significant change.

“When there are attacks on drivers, the application company, most times, conceals the data of the passengers. We’ve had a situation whereby there was an attack on a driver but there was no information about the passenger he carried before the attack.

“That is why we are calling for adequate data collection and the government should regulate this sector. The National Identification Number can also be utilised in this regard.”
