Another e-f00l/warrior comes to the party.

Some things are just beyond your wheelhouse kid. And, it's never mandatory (actually presumptuous) to meddle into things you know next to nothing about.

That officially, Nigeria's Opec 'export-cap' is 2.2-2.5 mbpd does not necessarily translates to 'drilling/smuggling/bunkering cap'.

While, the 250k or 1m bpd speculation needs to be verified, it does not mean it is not doable.

Even the past admin alluded to over 400k bpd in oil theft. And any 10 year old raised in Nigeria with half-a-brain, can easily decipher that, if the gov't alludes to 400k, simply multiply that by 2-3 times for actual loss.

Now, what part of the above is beyond your comprehension, or you do have a better factual explanation for; as I will like to 'shut up' now.

In order to have "sellable" crude oil you need to process what you get from the oil wells a bit. Oil has to meet certain requirements like SG, water content, GOR etc before it can be sold. That is what "oil facilities" do. As you know oil facilities are usually rated by the number of bpd they can process. I do not think that we have the capacity to process 1million barrels per day of "sellable" oil in addition to our OPEC quota.

So are you saying that they steal this oil directly from the wells?

Which one be "President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected the gay marriage offer by the United States of America," ? Did Obama offer to marry PMB?

Nigerian politicians should please stop taking Nigerians for a ride.

While I agree that the figures being bandied about ( 1 million barrels per day) are outrageous, the fact remains that Nigerian crude oil was and is still being stolen daily.

We Nigerians should be proposing solutions to this issue of bunkering of our crude, but rather than do that we are here on Nairaland arguing about the quantity of crude oil that is stolen.

I am only interested in what is good for Nigeria. While PMB has his reasons for tarrying with the ministerial nominations, any objective Nigerian knows that this delay is causing serious problems for our country.

Instead of facing the issues, we Nigerians have formed a very bad habit of defending a position by all means possible irrespective of whether that position is right or wrong.

The issue here is that ministers have not been nominated and this is causing problems. So how does this thread help in solving the problem?

It is quite clear that PMB was not entirely correct with his statement, but the question is why are we Nigerians arguing over a statement when we should rather be trying to assist the present administration in solving the many issues facing Nigeria.

Naija na wa ooo! So NNPC no dey pay salaries? NNPC no dey do JV funding? I know say e dey likely say them chop small thing ooo but for person to come dey yarn us say them "chop" 47% of their entire income for the past three years is a blatant lie!! Our wahala for naija na say we dey use everything play politics. Nobody wan know the facts na just wetin go suit the politicians. And we sef the masses go just chop any story wey politicians yarn us. For developed countries anything wey politicians yarn them dey chop am with plenty salt and pepper!!

Originalsly:
From your writing....I think you are not ready for university level education. If you successfully completed secondary education you would know how to study, to retain and apply what you learned. University is not the place to learn and practice how to study.... and whatever course you are doing... you need to have above a certain level of knowledge and understanding or the lectures and work would be above your head. If you find it is then maybe you need to take a break and reapply later when you are better prepared.

Bros na wa for you oo. So e don be bad thing to talk say person get problem? The OP has don no wrong here and should not be crucified.

@op don't despair. It is not just about reading and cramming. It is more important to actually understand what you have read. During my uni days I tried to read and also ensure that I wrote a short text stating what I understood from what I read. Overtime, I discovered that the way I read actually changed. I realized that in every paragraph of a book there is a key sentence that conveys the message. The key is to find that message and understand it. This will have a profound impact on how you study and ultimately on your grades. You have to study smart and hard.
And also, you need good food and sleep. Don't be in a rush to spend 6 hours straight at night in a class room under the guise that you are reading. Trust me it is counter productive. If you plan your time well, you may not even need to go to class at night. Use the nights to sleep.

I do not believe that Buhari and APC should make a national address. For God's sake we have a sitting president and it is only the president that has that right. This is over reaching. Yes GMB is president elect but he must realize that he is not president until May 29th and does not have presidential rights until then. If he wants to address his supporters he should do so by having a victory rally rather than a national address!!!!

dotcom_na_me_na_me: I remember my first party outing in London 9 years ago, i was helping the celebrant picking some empty drinking bottles so as to keep them safe not to get broken. LOL

Everyone were looking at me and asking me if i am okay ! LOL

Same thing happened to a friend of mine that just arrive here few days ago. I couldn't stop laughing until a lady calmly excused him and told him its not done like that here, but in Nigeria

Anyone with similar?

Bros picking bottle make sense for where I dey oo. The bottle na money ooo so nothing strange about that. I know some guys wey dey make more than 50K naira equivalent from pickin bottle.

One thing you have to note is that once you start beating a lady it only gets easier to justify beating her more often. So the probability that he will change is next to zero. It will only take a life changing experience to change such a man.
It's like pointing a gun at a human being and pulling the trigger. It only gets easier after the first time. That is why we have the saying "once a killer always a killer"

Based on the little information I have, petroleum engineering deals with the processes and operations that are carried out to bring oil or gas from the reservoir to the surface. Typical aspects of petroleum engineering are drilling, reservoir studies, well operations, seismic studies etc. In some universities petroleum engineering is studied under earth sciences.
Chemical engineering on the other hand deals with what happens to the oil and gas from the point it is extracted from the reservoir to the point it is used. Typical aspects of chemical engineering are processing of oil or gas to sales specifcation, refining of oil to produce petrol and other products (plastics etc), gas to liquid processes (GTL), natural gas liquifaction (LNG) production, pipeline transport of oil or gas and other such issues. Chemical engineering is not restricted to the oil and gas industry.
In my opinion with regards to job prospects, chemical engineering gives an individual the opportunity to work with a wider range of industries than petroleum engineering.

homesteady: And by the time our national carrier is lunched, there will be more air travellers!
Fresh air!!

It is only in Nigeria that somebody can eat a whole airline for lunch

Yoshi-Master:
I think I might do that, I just don't like the way political parties operate in Nigeria, where they oppose everything by the opposition whether good or bad. I heard you can run as an independent, but I don't know how much success one can get from being an independent candidate within the current political atmosphere in Nigeria.

Guess I will have to join a party, and hope that I get there someday to be able to make a difference.

The political situation can only change when people who want positive change start by participating in the process. You may not win at first but your mere presence sends a message.

Yoshi-Master:
I want to be a Governor, but don't know where to start.

You should start by joining a political party.

Nigerians and hypocrisy go hand in hand.
In a country where 17 year old girls see having a sugar daddy as a normal part of growing up; where rape has a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment; where lecturers demanding and receiving sex from students in exchange for passing grades is seen as normal runss (note that I did not specify the gender of the students or lecturers); where you can find pornographic materials on most smart phones; where government officials host lavish parties where anything goes; and we are here complaining about a reality TV show (which by the way is rated 18) showing half baked pornographic scenes.
We need to grow up and face the reality of the present day.

Naija I hail thee. We will always come to Nairaland and rant without actually taking any actions or proposing any solutions. We all know that we have rogues in the legislature and that they are very well paid rogues but every election year we go to the polls and elect the same set of rogues into office again.
I am sure that most of the people here ranting will not do any better if put in the same situation. Naija is the one country I know where people who are actually qualified and suited for elective offices actually shy away from politics. These same people will now come to Nairaland and say all sorts of things about the thugs that they allowed to take those offices in the first place.

OAM4J: Why is it still not possible to send money through western union from Nigeria but one can only receive in Nigeria? Or has that changed?

I think that should be the 1st thing Western Union and the likes of Moneygram should address.

I think it is more of a governmental and economic strategy issue. Officially Nigeria has very strict controls on outgoing international wire transfers to help control capital flight and money laundering and also to try to reduce the demand for foreign currency in the system.

Boss solar panels are not very practical. What happens in a place like PH where you can have rains for one week continiously? If your plan is to build large solar farms in Northern Nigeria and then set up a "Solar power grid" then that is a different case. If you are talking about mounting solar panels on an individual house basis then I am sorry to have to burst your bubble.
Also there is no way you can make me believe that solar power is cheaper than the grid.
Nigerians buy generators because they are the most practical solution to the problem as it is now. In my opinion the only selling point of solar panels is that they produce so called "green energy".

MAYOWAAK: In December, however, Madam Evangelist Oluwasola, asked her to have a special test in her laboratory wherein the red blood cells were separated from the white blood cells, and that was it – the result revealed that she was pregnant.

Mrs Adeoye menstruated till January 2013 and vomited everyday in January till she had the baby on January 15th in the night at the mission house.
“The delivery, though painful, was simple. I was not in labour for too long before I had the baby, may be three to five minutes and the baby came, a girl. And we christened her Emmanuela, Opelope-Jesu, Ite-Oluwa-kii-si Adeoye,” the new mother stated.

[b][quote author=MAYOWAAK]Naija I hail thee oooo.
Question 1: Doctors in the house can you please educate me on the type of pregnancy test that requires red blood cells to be seperated from white blood cells? I always thought that pregnancy tests were looking for specific hormones in the body! But I am not a specialist in this so I may be wrong. Can someone please enlighten me?

Question 2: Why should someone with a 25 month old pregnancy give birth in a "mission house"? Maybe we do not have any hospitals in naija that are capable of delivering a 25 month old baby.

Question 3: What type of labour lasts for five minutes?

Anyways naija police na wa. Them no go see real case here to solve na to dey open office for highway dem sabi!!!!!
Na only for naija wey person go "borrow" another person baby come dey announce am for newspaper.

wetin be the need to rank jobs where the pay is based on how effective you are in making sure that anoda man becomes richer. Me I know say no job dey pay like owning your own biz sha.

Anybody know wetin them put for water works and electricity company? Maybe the go put "Mushin Borehole drillers" and "Yomoha I pass my neighbour" I laff in yoruba

My papa teach me say no borrow person money wey you no go fit lose. Also the easiest way to get rid of a "friend" wey you no need na to borrow am money.

Chedarking: Remove the log in your eye and all that...

Boss e be like say you sef no dey read something fully before you run come comment.

@poster: Man no need to complain ooo just carry your cross the best way you can. Do what you can and bone the res. Afterall you no go die for person.
On a lighter mode sha, you for dey complain if your papa dey 95 years and get like 1billion naira for him bank acct? No be u for dey remind the guy say you be him first pikin and also first son at that?

Olboy ehh, real soldier don sound me wella because of babe ooo (believe me difference dey between policeman slap and soldier slap). Well it was worth it sha cos after the slap the babe fall in line straight :

Naija and dreams. Make we siddon dey look sha. Shay na next year them talk?

@poster: Englishman talk say person dey siddon for seat and not "sit". Try ammend am na

Men see brodas with pepper. I wan be like you when I grow up ooo. Oya see as we go do am here: Just use 20K bake cake for the babe, add one Moet at about 10K, buy 2 candles for 200 and then give your babe 50K for shopping. I swear your babe no go ever forget you. Make sure say you apply CD for the after parry ooo. And for this advice me no want plenty money oo na just the small change wey remain wey you go give me

Man see cars oooo Them go soon sell all these cars as flood damage cars. Any man wey wan buy tokunbo from NOV ending, make sure say the ride no come from NYC ooo

Hey poster, I think this depends on how much you earn. If you earn 85K and spend 80K then I would say you have a problem. But realistically, I do not think that spending 80K monthly is extravagant. Based on the fact that you have a wife and kid, I actually think that you are quite frugal. But like I said earlier this all depends on your income.
