Bunch of clowns. So with all the problems currently plaguing Nigeria APC is more concerned with witch hunting PDP?

Sule Lamido, the same man OBJ once referred to as one of the incorruptible competent fellas worthy to become the next president of Nigeria?

saintbukie:
Militants started their grievances like this and nobody cared until it boomeranged. So also Boko haram started the same way and Govt. failed to curb it but they are now Cancerworms to the entire nation.
Are we going to continue on the bad legacy laid by our Leaders on Bsc. and HND discrimination. Why are we so myopic in our thinking as Youths of this great Nation. It is only here in Nigeria that this discrimination is well pronounced.
My message to the University graduates who see themselves as being superior over HND is: I hope you've all prepared for a showdown that may be more brutal and bloody than militants revolution or that of Boko haram insurgency. We've all heard and seen inter-ethnic, inter-tribal, inter-religious crises,etc. May be it is high time we watched inter- qualification(Bsc - HND) saga. And I bet you it will be a longlasting one. Watch out!!!

damilareoye:
Am tired of the so called discrimination. why should one be rated above the other. even in some field of study, a polytechnic graduate is far better than a university graduate. no wonder one of my lecturer was telling me university graduate are meant to be boss and I was like 'smh' for these man.
mind you, am a uni student.

Jakara:
Imokay, you spoke fine and I must commend you for a constructive point. My question is, where in Nigerian law or constitution is it written that you pay HND lower than B.Sc or that Nigerians should discriminate among the two certificate holders. The same group of B.Sc holder that brought about this discrimination for their selfish interest, are the same people that projects corruption in Nigeria.
Nigeria should do away with this selfish interest and look for intellectuals & ideas that could save Nigeria from its state.

OrlandoOwoh:
Incèst, permiting one's friend(s) to have sèx with one's friend and burying heads of people with kings are issues in Nigeria, why are our courts and Constitution silent about them? Are these things not enough to be issues in Nigeria? Why are we so concerned about what is happening in the US? Why haven't them taken a stand like the US Supreme Court on gay?

aresa:
You can not as a public official sit right there and say to a gay person that you can not issue marriage licenses because of religious beliefs. It's against the law and what comes next is getting sued, fines and paying damages which the governor's charade can not prevent legally. His silly law can not shield them against lawsuits, contempts, fines and damages.

If your religion is more important to you than your job, then resign like many are doing and go look for another job that has nothing to do with offering services to gay people..

The governor apart from giving these clarks false sense of legal security is a damn hypocrite, you can not defend and uphold other people's rights while they deny other people in his care their rights.

This is the legal and laws of the land concept I need you to get into your head.

MKO4ever:
I agreed with you completely

Three weeks ago, the people of Alade market in Ikeja went on a demonstration to Alausa when they heard the news that government wants to demolish Alade market
But surprisingly, it was discovered that the chairman of the market has been notified and she was being carried along on proposed demolition. but she did not notify the other users of the market

"while Dangote Group would mine coal in Kogi and Benue states."

Who will mine Enugu coal, since Dagote is scared of stepping his foot on ibo land?

Where are the rich ibo men to get licence and mine enugu coal mine, this is business and stop blaming Dangote.

barcanista:
Illiteracy/ignorance is really a disease. That a country borrows doesn't mean she doesn't have reserves. The $30bn and $2bn left in the External Reserve and ECA are not subject to debate. Nigeria is indebted but we still have monies of $32b in total left in our savings. Kai Buharists o


America is Heavily indebtyed yet she has billions of dollars in reserve. Only a foooolish country will empty her reserve.

Wsdm:
He only gave the contract to his colleagues. Just like Buhari is also giving the contract to his colleagues now(the soldiers). I have come to realise that a president employs most of his associates when he was an ordinary man because they are people who have lived with him for a very long time- jonathan is not an exception.

Who is going to give you 71 million liters of crude daily?

Liters of crude oil does not automatically equate with Liters of petroleum derivative.

Please quote the person exchanging comments with you. He is doing a good Job pounding some sense into your head. By way cattles are the children of alamjiri dullard from Daura, you are one of his douchebags.

You can't even start production with a working but redundant obsolete refinery like ours without routine minor maintenance.

Let me help you as an Automation Engineer and Process Control Expert. The continuous function of our refineries are dependent of so many functions which the most is availability of spare parts and modules.

Our Refineries are obsolete hence the availability of most of the spares and modules are very scarce as they are no longer manufactured/supported by the Original Equipment Manufacturers rather by a third party whose budget is dependent on orders received hence the high cost of maintaining Nigerian Refineries which is irritating and economically not viable.

From every indication, I suspect our Refineries are not economically viable under government control because of attitudes of government employees compared to their private counterparts hence the call for privatization.

Ordinarily, the NNPC should be able to take on routine maintenance from profits accruing to the Agency without Government intervention but alas this is not the situation because of wide spread corruption within the agency leading to loses and non profitability of the Plants.

The huge budgets quoted in pages of newspapers for TAM are special government interventions and grants needed to put the Plants back on stream without which the system remains redundant.

Periodically, even after government intervention there are needs for replenishment of spares in anticipation for an abrupt failure of control systems that can render the plant un-operational for months if not procured hence to source for critical spares is very important but the question is can you get these spares and modules if ordered in small quantity - the answer is No.

For the fact that the employees of these Refineries are paid notwithstanding the status of their commitment is worrisome.

The long and short story is that TAM of an idle plant takes months and huge budget hence there is no fast way or shortcut to get it done in one month neither can the fear of Buhari produce mechanical spares and control modules to quick start the redundant plants.

How to beat some sense into NL Olodos. Brought to you by Soul train.

Whynotthetruth:
If only the madman knows that he's mad

Just like the numerous bonds issued by Aregbesola and co brought unimaginable development to their people...


At FULL capacity, all four refineries will produce 19million litres daily...Consumption capacity for Nigeria daily is 40million litres...So how do you save your 80% from subsidy bro

Who's misinformed here now?...smh

Whynotthetruth:
there are more olodo than I imagined around here...

1)Issuing bonds is same thing that will trigger increased debts...A reason for which APC has been making noise notwithstanding states controlled by them owe and borrow more...

2)NNPC by the law setting them up finance their projects from their income while sending the balance to CBN as revenue for all tiers of government...so FG cannot borrow money and send to them so to say...

3)Raising bonds isn't a question of days...rather lots of calculations of short; medium and long term pros and cons are involved... you can use borrowing from commercial banks to understand my explanation better bro...


4)1 trillion...do you know how much our total budget is? and even our total subsidy package?... nawa for una...all these beer parlour boys here sef...

5)Why not understand the basics of economics and elementary governance procedures before engaging in such discussions are these...

Whynotthetruth:
Go back and read to see that February reportage was mere statement of past event...he was simply reiterating the point that they have already outsourced the TAM to local engineers already and not that they are about to...

The Coordinator, Corporate Planning, and Strategy of the NNPC, Dr. Tim Okon, told the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), in Abuja while defending the budget proposal of the corporation, that the NNPC had worked out an alternative local arrangement that would enable it refine about 400,000 barrels of crude oil daily after the completion of ongoing rehabilitation.

“The exercise which started in October last year is for a period of 18 months and it will be completed in the first quarter of next year.

“The expenditure of $16million a month had been reduced to an average of $10million a month per a refinery.

“By the first quarter of next year, all the refineries will be functioning optimally and we would be able to refine an average of 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day for local consumption.
