It’s now an open secret and very embarrassing situation for many respectable Nigerians, that the country has emerged as one of the favorite dumping grounds for manufacturers of fake and substandard goods.

It just appears that the importers of fake/substandard LPG Cylinders and other accessories are totally oblivious of the valid adage that says that the man who’s busy throwing stones recklessly in the market square should think twice and desist from the irresponsible act, because even members of his family can be fatally hit in the head, which may eventually force them to board the dreaded one-way flight out of planet earth.

The unpatriotic acts of these importers of fake and substandard LPG cylinders notwithstanding, the ghastly reputation of LPG as a highly flammable pressurized fluid should be sufficient to ginger all LPG users in Nigeria, who are unwilling to prematurely exit the land of the living in tragic fashion via LPG Cylinder explosion, to ensure that they only purchase certified, standard LPG cylinders at all times.

Substandard LPG Hose, Regulator and Valve


Hose

A new LPG Hose that is already showing visible signs of crack or one that cracks/ruptures within a few months of use is ‘gallantly’ substandard.

Regulator

Also, a brand new LPG regulator that still allows the flow of gas after it has been turned off is convincingly substandard. Soapy water can be used to check for leakage on the body of a regulator that has already been connected to a filled LPG cylinder and turned on. Bubbles observed on any part of the regulator indicate leakage, implying that the regulator has tough quality questions to answer.

Valve

A beautiful substandard LPG valve posing as an original valve can be easily exposed by dropping soapy water into the hollow top of a camping or standard valve. For Util, Nido and Cut valves, the soapy solution is applied in the valve outlet. Bubbling or foaming from the hollow top or outlet indicates leakage and this qualifies the valve to be designated as substandard.

Locally-made fake/substandard LPG Cylinders

The 3KG capacity cylinder is without doubt the most commonly produced fake /substandard cylinder. Identifying one is relatively easy, as the poor finishing job done on the cylinder usually gives it away. Unlike the imported ones, the shape is not perfectly cylindrical and the welding work on the cylinder is usually rough. An equally simple way to know a fake locally-made cylinder is its weight. An empty original cylinder weighs between 3.5-5.5kg, depending on its quality and designation; while an outrightly fake empty cylinder weighs between 2.5-2.9KG.
The higher thickness/quality of the sheet used in the fabrication, heat treatment done on the cylinder and top-class quality of welding, are the outstanding features(all lacking in fake cylinders) that make an original cylinder what it is.

Imported Substandard Cylinders

One needs more that a visual inspection to confirm if an imported cylinder is a substandard one because it usually looks aesthetically impressive.
Cylinder empty weight confirmation is one of the best ways to know the quality level of an imported cylinder.
Typically, a standard empty 3KG cylinder should weigh at least 3.5KG. Therefore an imported cylinder that weighs 3.0-3.1KG is substandard.
Leak test is another good way of ascertaining if an LPG cylinder is standard or substandard. Soapy water can be applied on all the welded joints, valve and valve perimeter of a new cylinder filled with air or gas. If bubbles are observed on any point or area, leakage is confirmed; leading to the inevitable conclusion that the cylinder is a substandard one.

Some higher level substandard LPG cylinders that ‘excel’ at this stage of pre-use scrutiny, usually get exposed within six months of use when the paint starts to peel off and serious corrosion of the cylinder sets in.

A standard cylinder will never undergo serious corrosion within two years of use.

Substandard LPG Cookers and Burners

Any glass Table-Top LPG cooker that shatters within two years of use is ‘excellently’ substandard.

A stainless Table-Top cooker that has an unusually light weight, can be said to be substandard. It’s very obvious that the sheet of such a cooker will cave in before long under the weight of cooking pots.

Brand new stainless/glass Table-top and Standing LPG cookers that produce yellow flame instead off the normal blue, are not of the highest quality, to put it mildly.
A new LPG Cooker that its spark ignition system packs up just after a few weeks of use is definitely substandard.

Any new camping burner that ‘dares’ to still release gas after its control has been locked is substandard. Also, a new brand new burner that leaks gas at the control or one that burns partially and not round about the cap, is substandard.

Closing Remarks

Since the mystery surrounding fake/substandard LPG Cylinders and appliances has been effectively unraveled, the wonderful people of Nigeria do not need to make the awful mistake of purchasing them again.

The Standard Organization of Nigeria(SON), in collaboration with the Nigeria Customs Service, should do more to fight the coronavirus of fake/substandard LPG cylinders and accessories in Nigeria, to a standstill.

The good-intentioned latitude and calculated hesitation of the Department of Petroleum Resources, Nigeria’s foremost LPG Industry regulatory agency, to fully enforce its entire LPG guidelines and regulations in the retail segment of Nigeria’s LPG industry, appears to have finally exceeded its breaking point.

Without any molecule of doubt, the country’s cooking gas industry wouldn’t have enjoyed the robust growth it has enjoyed, if the DPR had dispatched its fresh-looking officials to every nook and cranny to enforce its strict regulations and guidelines in every LPG Plant, from the inception of the country’s LPG industry revolution in 2007.

Rather unfortunately, this rare privilege and goodwill has been grossly abused by some operators in the industry.
It’s now commonplace to see LPG Skid plants in densely populated areas like markets. Some investors have flung caution to the wind by citing LPG plants under high tension cables, beside power transformers, very close to welders’ workshops, bakeries, canteens, primary schools and other dangerous/inappropriate locations.

Outrightly outrageous practices such as the use of substandard LPG tanks and the refilling of LPG very close to the road where exhaust pipes of vehicles or motorcycles can ignite LPG vapor, has been the perilous order of the day.

It therefore came as no surprise to discerning Nigerians when DPR rose gallantly to the occasion to restore some sanity in the industry by shutting down LPG plants in unsafe locations.

Cooking gas plants that are convincingly guilty of infractions such as failure to obtain operating license, lack of safety facilities and violation of approved plant design, were sealed and sanctioned.

As laudable as DPR’s initiative to prioritize the safety of Nigerians by forestalling gas explosions at LPG plants is, there’s a need for its officials to soft-pedal where it’s possible and show more sympathy to the Nigerians who have invested millions of naira to set-up LPG refilling plants in the country.

The DPR Field Office in Osogbo, Osun State, has been exemplary and deserves nothing short of a standing ovation, even in the aftermath of its statewide clampdown that resulted in the sealing of almost thirty LPG plants.

Its officials were very patient and helpful in explaining to operators that once they satisfied the stipulated conditions, they will be allowed to operate. The LPG plants in inappropriate locations were encouraged to secure suitable locations, while adequate light was shed on the misconception that small LPG tanks (2.5-5 MT) had been prohibited.

They were very willing to answer questions posed to them, and this has really gone a long way to prepare operators for what they need to do to remain in the business.

If this compassionate, yet, stern approach, is adopted by the DPR in all the state field offices nationwide, then the country’s LPG industry future remains very resplendent.

naijareferee:
I hope this move does not cause an increase in the retail price of lpg when he finally comes on stream...

No, it will rather reduce the retail price of LPG because the Plant will provide competition for NLNG- the only Nigeria based supplier and other foreign suppliers.
The competition will lead to lower ex-depot and retail prices.

Millions of LPG consumers in Nigeria, including the fetuses currently residing in their mothers’ wombs, can confidently heave resounding sighs of relief immediately the LPG Processing Plant in the gargantuan Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Complex in Ibeju-lekki, eventually commences operation.

Contrary to the expectation of the wonderful people of Nigeria, just about 45% of the LPG consumed in the country is sourced from the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas Plant in Bonny Island, Rivers State.

This unpalatable situation forces outstanding LPG marketers like Ultimate Gas Ltd, Nipco Gas Ltd, Gasland Nig.Ltd, Banner Gas Ltd, Techno Oil Ltd, Chimons Gas Ltd, Matrix Energy Ltd and AA Rano Nig. Ltd, to come to the rescue by importing the 55% balance to effectively bridge the supply gap.

The glaring justification for the bubbling excitement over Dangote’s LPG Processing Plant’s potential impact on Nigeria’s LPG industry is the sheer size of its installed LPG storage capacity, made up of fifteen huge 75,000MT cylindrical tanks.

Nigeria’s stellar LPG Investors with depot storage facilities, namely, Nipco Gas-Lagos(10,000MT), Navgas-Lagos(11,000MT), PPMC-Lagos(8,000MT), Techno Oil-Lagos(12,000MT), Matric Energy- Warri(5000MT), Prudent Energy- Oghara(6000MT), Dozzy-Calabar(10,000MT) and Stockgap- Port-Harcourt(5,650MT), have a combined storage capacity of 67,650MT.

Certainly, one doesn’t need to be a graduate of the prestigious Harvard University or genius like Albert Einstein to safely arrive at the conclusion that Dangote’s refinery with a total installed capacity of 1,125,000MT(more than 16 times the country’s total depot storage capacity) will sufficiently meet the demand of LPG in Nigeria, which currently stands at an average figure of 80,000MT/month.

The rather notorious problem of LPG scarcity automatically rears its ugly head whenever there’s a disruption in the supply of LPG to the depots.
Disruption is majorly attributable to one or a combination of these scenarios: delays experienced by the LPG Vessel in loading the product at the source, piracy attacks in the pirate-infested gulf of guinea and delays in offloading the product at the destination due to jetty unavailability.

In the same vein, the landing cost of the product increases, no thanks to the fees paid for naval escort for its smooth voyage through dangerous waters, ransom paid to pirates for abducted crew members and demurrage incurred when the LPG Vessel is unable to discharge the product at the expected time.

Fortunately, the fifteen humongous LPG storage tanks with multiple loading gantries and state-of-the-art pumping infrastructure at the Dangote Refinery will make it possible for several vessels to load the product simultaneously in a timely manner.

LPG Vessels from within Lagos, Warri, Calabar and Port-Harcourt, have no need to transit through the pirate infested gulf of guinea route, drastically minimizing their chances of being attacked and lowering the landing cost of the product.

Particularly note-worthy is the short distance from Ibeju-lekki to Apapa where the major LPG depots in the country are located; which obviously comes with the dual advantage of reducing the landing cost of the product and ensuring better product order planning that ensures that LPG vessels sail in promptly only when the receiving jetty is available for LPG discharge.

In a nutshell, the good news is that the commencement of operations at the LPG Processing Plant of Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical Company, will usher in a period of constant availability of LPG at very favorable rates for the overall benefit of the good people of Nigeria.

While December 25 may not be the actual date Jesus was born, it is good and I repeat, it is good that we celebrate the significance of the birth of Christ Jesus on that day.
The truth is that every born- again Christain who understands the spiritual implication of the restoration work of Jesus on earth will celebrate Jesus on a daily basis.
I will be happier if more days can be dedicated to praising and appreciating our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

So sad after reading twide.

Pls I want to implore anyone going through depression or anyone that has anyone going through depression or behaving irrationally to do something fast.

These things are caused by demonic possession or oppression.

The best and lasting solution is to take such people for intense deliverance. Only Jesus Christ can deliver such people.
Medication can provide a temporary relief but it cannot overcome demonic powers.
Only the blood of Jesus can overcome any demonic power.

A word is enough for the wise.

Emergency ‘Sexual Lion’ State

1. Waking up early in the morning, the very first thought that comes to your mind is how to honour all your sexual appointments for the day, then you proceed to make elaborate plans for activities that will bring you sexual pleasure.

2. You are the type of man that can spend 95.5% of his income to impress and woo a new ‘catch’.

3. You have become a complete nuisance in your community and workplace having attempted, and always attempting to date all the single and married women there, you fit perfectly into this group.

4. You are a married man that is very notorious for cooking up fictitious engagements like seminars, religious programs, conferences and business meetings, just to secure the chance to travel out of town and lodge in hotels with your girlfriends to engage in sexual acrobatics, there’s no doubt that your case file is in this ward.

5. If you are among the men that are fond of boarding over-crowded mass transit buses (where most of the passengers remain standing for the duration of the journey) for no other reason than to have the special luck of meeting an attractive and physically endowed lady you can position yourself behind for illegal transmission of sexual current, you can be sure you are in this state. Worse still, you proceed to rub the lower part of your body against the lady’s backside as the bus moves, having an erection in the process and going further to release seminal fluid all over yourself, your case is an emergency within an emergency.

6. You marriage is less than two-weeks-old and you are already pestering your junior female co-worker for a relationship that will lead to sex.

7. It will be a major miracle if you manage to stay for forty-eight hours without having sex.

8. You are eyeing your best friend’s or elder brother’s wife and will not hesitate to have sexual relations with her if the opportunity presents itself.

9. It is practically impossible for you to steer clear of pornography for anything beyond forty-eight hours.

10. It is a must that you masturbate at least once every twelve hours.

11. You are a married man that has three girlfriends, with plans to have more.

Self-examination to determine the status of your ‘Sexual Lion’

The standard procedure when a certified medical doctor receives a new patient is to subject such a patient to a process of diagnosis to ascertain the cause(s) and current state of progression of the ailment before coming up with a treatment plan.

However, in the ‘sexual lion’ situation, you have a dual role to play as both the doctor and patient. This’s got to be so since you are the only one that has access to your mind.
The only exception to self-diagnostic examination of the ‘sexual lion’ state is for those men whose cases have degenerated to the critically critical phase; these men require external help, having completely succumbed to the rampaging wild ‘sexual lion’ within them.

You really need to sit down to examine and ask yourself some simple, yet powerful questions that will unravel your sexual appetite and status of your ‘sexual lion’.

Questions like:

1. What turns me on sexually?
2. How often do I feel in engaging in sexual activities?
3. How often do I think of engaging in sexual activities?
4. What are my sexual fantasies?
5. Once I’m sexually aroused, am I still in control of my senses?
6. What comes to my mind whenever I see a sexually attractive member of the opposite sex?
7. Have I ever overcome sexual temptation orchestrated by a member of the opposite sex?
8. What makes me vulnerable to sexual temptation?
9. Do I currently have the capacity to resist sexual lust and temptation?

The sincere answers you produce to these questions will shed sufficient light on your sexual appetite, as well as determine your placement in the classification of the ‘sexual lion’ phases.

The male ‘sexual lion’ status has been broken down into five phases: low, medium, high, emergency and critically critical phases.

Logically, it follows that the low ‘Sexual Lion’ phase is the safest, while the critically critical phase is the most perilous state.

Real life actions of the men in these five ‘sexual lion’ phases will come up next.

Stay tuned.

Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on the reason a well-respected and popular clergyman with a thriving ministry, blessed with a wife who is not only refined, educated, very beautiful but also extravagantly endowed in her physically appearance, would stoop low to engage in sexual acrobatics with the family’s fourteen-year-old maid, who only just arrived from a remote village, six months ago.

Have you ever wondered why some members of a dreaded gang of highway robbers on an operation, who are expected to be focused on their primary assignment of dispossessing travelers of their hard-earned money and valuables, will dedicate time (out of no time) to subject their female victims to violent sexual oppression at gunpoint, in spite of the apparent danger of being intercepted by highway anti-robbery patrol teams while committing the sexual atrocities.

Is it not unimaginable or worse still, abominable, for a father to sexually assault his own thirteen-year-old daughter; not once; not twice; but over a dozen times, till he eventually gets her pregnant!

These horrible scenarios that play out with increasing frequency in our societies today are the outcomes of the true expression of the nature of the wild ‘sexual lion’ calling the shots in the lives of the men committing these outrageous acts.
The undeniable truth is that every man has a ‘sexual lion’ within him.
Make no mistake, the ‘sexual lion’ is man’s most dangerous enemy within. And unfortunately, it is an enemy you can’t kill; the very best you can do is to tame it.

This desperately wicked enemy is always at work, plotting the graph of the downfall of its “host”.
Your refusal or failure to effectively tame this very stubborn enemy operating from within has devastating consequences: it either completely blocks your destiny from taking-off at all or forces it to crash-land in mid-air and suffer irreversible damage or total destruction.
Worse still, it will engineer your untimely departure from planet earth.

A quick example of how the ‘sexual lion’ can accomplish this is by encouraging its victim( an ordinary student in a higher institution) to make persistent advances at the ‘first-lady’ of the don of the leading secret cult group on campus. The don even decides to humble himself by setting up a meeting with this ordinary guy to warn him sternly to stop disturbing his girl. But this poor guy fails to heed the warning because the girl in question is “just too irresistibly beautiful” and he is in love, dreaming about her day and night.

Even if the don refuses to ‘delete’ this guy, his gang members will probably not require his permission to massacre this ordinary guy for having the effrontery to woo their boss’ lover.
Consequently, his inevitable brutal death is mission accomplished for the very wild ‘sexual lion’ operating from within him.

I think it should be very apparent at this point that taming/controlling your ‘sexual lion’ is one of the best decisions you can ever make as a man.

The right formular to tame this very dangerous ‘monster’ that has ruined and keeps ruining many lives has been meticulously prepared and will be dished out in installments as we proceed on this journey.

It is definitely in your best interest to stay on board.

Whether we like it or not, the trumpet will sound.

All those who have not given their lives to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be left behind.

Hellfire is the final destination of those that reject Jesus.

Let me tell all those who are mocking that being a born- again christain is the best thing that can happen to you.

I so much enjoy being a Christain. There's no enjoyment in smoking, drinking, sexual immoralities, lying, fighting, clubbing etc.. I was a sinner before and some of these things but now I pity people doing them.

Why don't you give your life to Jesus Christ and see the difference. Living a life of holiness is blissful. You can't achieve it by yourself but Jesus will help you.

I'm indeed very happy many Nigerians are investing in the LPG industry.

I want to urge all LPG Plant owners to take safety very seriously.

It gives me concern when I get to some plants and see the attendants over-filling cylinders.
For example, some fill as much as 60kg in 50kg cylinders, 7kg in 6kg cylinders, 6kg in 5kg cylinders etc.

This is a very dangerous practice that can lead to explosion. Some of these cylinders being over- filled are very old and worse still, the attendants don't even know the vapor pressure of the LPG they are selling.

I urge all Plant owners to endeavour to monitor these attendants/refillers as much as possible.

Our sweat and investments will not go up in flames in Jesus Name.

id4sho:
Brother more grease to your elbow. i intend establishing a LPG plant in Gombe State. I am presently undergoing a personal research on LPG PLANT. Once am done and ready, I will contact you ASAP. i salute you.

No problem sir. Will be ready when you are ready.

OLUPRECIOUS:
What should u do...
The first thing u can do is to forgive him and also forgive urself. Virginity is a pride of a lady but u don't need to be a virgin before u can have happy home(I mean virginity does not guarantee you happy home). 2ndly, open up to your spiritual father or mother or somebody you can confide with..tell him or her your predicament (don't kill yourself or die in silent) as it is now, u need help u can no longer help your self. As regards to d guy, forget about him and move on with your life . He is not your husband, he just took advantage of u and ur weakness, if u give him second chance or allow him into your life again, he will ruin your life completely and cause more damage to ur injury(I wonder why u said u still love him). Please run for your life. Lastly, rededicate your life to Jesus Christ, allow Him to pilot and take complete control of ur life, listen to music and christian sermon. Observe your quiet time and tell God to connect you with a right man. Peace be unto you.

GOD bless you for this post. You have said it all.

Let me just add for the benefit of the op and many others that we will all have challenges at one point or the other. Suicide is not an option because it takes you directly to hell fire.
I had a very critical challenge, prayed and prayed with no changes in sight. I had to be very patient for years. But thank GOD the situation has turned around for good now.
The solution to every problem is this- give your life to Jesus Christ, pray over you problem and be patient (very patient). You can never be disappointed at the end of the day.
GOD bless you all.

Silvermoney:
I guess I have a lot in common with this guy, based on how his family described him. I'm also a seeker of answers to existential questions. Unfortunately, there are no meaningful answers so far. And to think that life here in this primitive Nigeria is more unbearable than Avicii ever experienced. It gets stressful most times.

Believe me, what you need is to invite Jesus Christ into your heart. You will have peace and the needed answers to your questions.
My life had no meaning before Jesus came into my life. I was just living a frustrated life.

You can never know the beauty and peace in being a born again Christian until you accept Christ.

Anyone who has Jesus can never commit suicide.
There are just too many advantages of having Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Please permit me to mention a few:

1. Peace that money can not buy
2. Divine healing
3. Freedom from destructive habits like drinking, smoking, hard drugs, pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, sodomy, beastiality
4. Physical and spiritual security
5. Abstinence from fornication and adultery. Do you know that many peoples lives have been and are being destroyed because of sex with demons in human flesh. Many people's sperm have been harvested and are being manipulated in the marine world.
6. Access to eternal life in heaven.
7. Etc..
My brothers and sisters, for your own good, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
This is the best decision I have made and anyone can make.
My life would have been in ruins or would be dead by now if I had not accepted Jesus.

A word is enough for the wise.

Jesus is the answer to this problem.
My brother, do you think every lady you see is human. There are ogbanje and other wicked spirits in human form roaming about the place.

I want to seriously warn anybody engaging in fornication or adultery; you are in double trouble.
1. You may end up having sex with a demon masquerading as a human being. This will pave the way for them to gain access into your life to cause all kinds of trouble: destruction of destiny, illness, poverty, marital problems, barrenness, death etc
2. The GOD of heaven will pronounce his judgement on all fornicators and adulterers.

Solution: confess your sins to Jesus Christ and sincerely repent from all forms of sexual immorality and sins and live a holy life.

He who has ears should hear.

GOD bless you

Keep forwarding this important reminder of the day:

*NO PHONES IN KITCHEN PLEASE*
Do you make calls or receive calls in your kitchen? Just 3 days ago, at a gas station at Osogbo, people were brought into the casualty department of a hospital, others transferred to OAUTH Ife for burns injury which they sustained while one customer was receiving phone calls at a Cooking Gas Depot.

Even microwave oven or induction stoves could be dangerous.
Some people cook with the phone pressed against their ears! Please stop making or receiving calls in the kitchen. It is as dangerous as making or receiving calls in a petrol station.

Please don't forget to notify your loved ones". If the call is very urgent then move away from the gas by 10-12 feet distance and then take the call.
Remember that your safety is your family's safety as well.
If this information is useful to you. Please don't lock it up in your phone. Spread the safety precaution news.

ddestiny20:
is there any smaller than d 2.5 Ton cause I need to start with something smaller

We have 1.8 Tons.

anthonydunamis:
When I was in secondary school, we had a way of classifying ourselves. Some of us were seen as 'Behind'- those who could afford Timberland boots, wear the coolest Nikes, looked cute or drove a car to school. Then we had the average guys- students from middle-class families who did some 'Behind' things but were not that cool. Third, we had the 'razz' category- those who had no swag, no single drop of coolness, no expensive wears, no automobiles, no slick lines for the girls.

I dare say I belonged to the last category for most of my six years in secondary school. I came from a low middle-class family and my parents (like heroes that they are) had to strain to pay the exorbitant school fees. I could not afford to buy new wears for school parties and the like, so I sometimes borrowed from my best friend back then. Thank you, Temitayo Taiwo

I was often the butt of jokes and mockery, as I had my face plastered with pimples and I was as black as a pot retrieved from the pit of hell. In issues of dating and 'hustling', I was as naive as they come. No girl was interested...and I don't blame them. I wouldn't have dated myself if I were those girls.

My inability to 'blend' with the popular crowd was frustrating and my self-esteem was at its lowest ebb. I managed to cover it up well by focusing on my poetry and smiling through the jests. A classmate, Oluwabunmi Femi-Akande once told me, 'One thing I like about you is that no matter how much you are insulted, you keep smiling.' But it was all a fačade.

I believed that I was that person the popular crowd told me I was- not good enough. And that taunting voice followed me for years, controlling my priorities, my time, my money, my emotions, my potential and my relationships...until I met Jesus. I became born again!

As I got closer to Him, my confidence sky-rocketed. His Word revealed to me that I am made for an awesome purpose, and all the gifts and attributes I need to achieve that are in me already!

I am now a totally different person, in all ramifications. And that's Jesus at work.

Please listen to me, my friend. For too long, you have allowed the crowd to decide your opinion about yourself. Now, you subconsciously try to measure up to the standards they have set for you. That is not true life.

Your dressing, the way you spend money, the hard drugs and womanizing, the lies you tell about yourself, the sycophancy, living a fake life and borrowing to maintain that appearance...it has to stop NOW.

Think about it. Ask yourself 'What am I doing today that is not really who I am but I do it because I don't want to be an outcast to others?' It has to stop NOW.

Now is the time to outgrow that nonsense.

And if you are yet to know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, accept Him NOW. He will do wonders in you, for you and through you. I love you and God bless you!

May GOD bless you abundantly for sharing this.

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you don't know what you are missing.
I began enjoying my life the day I gave my life to Christ.
If you are into fornication, stealing, homosexuality, lieing, idolatry, drinking, smoking, partying, ritual...etc...you are under the bondage of sin and the devil. Come to Jesus Christ and he will deliver you from these sins.

Truly, salvation through Jesus Christ is the best thing to happen to mankind and you can only enjoy ots beauty and peace when you possess it.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I have observed that some desperate LPG station installers have been advertising their services on this thread.
I hereby dissociate myself from such installers.
Any investor who deals with them does so at his/her own risk and I will not be held accountable if any untoward situation arises during the course of dealing with these installers.
They have not sought for my permission and I haven't given them any approval to place any advert on this thread.
They are violating a nairaland rule and I urge the moderators to take the appropriate action.

GOD bless you tremendously for this....I repeat, GOD bless.
My people, believe it or not, there are spirit husbands and wives and christains who are ignorant and can't pray are being tormented.
There must be a good reason Jesus said" my people perish for lack of knowledge". Note that Jesus said, "my people"- meaning christains.

I'm a living example of what this type of personal deliverance program can do. My life was transformed positively in the aftermath of this type of program.

I challenge anyone having any serious problem to first of all give his or her life to Jesus Christ and then do this type of personal deliverance program.
There can only be one result - positive transformation. But it may not be instantaneous, just be patient with the LORD and He will surely turn your life around.

The rapture will take place any moment from now. The signs are becoming more glaring.
The rapture will shock the whole world.
My prayer is that I will not miss it in Jesus Name.
The reign of the anti-christ will be too brutal.
If you have ears to ear, hear.

Do you have 5MT LPG Gas Skids in stock, now?

No we don't at the moment. However, we are expecting 3.5MT lpg tanks by the first week in May.

zeestone99:
Hello Justin, can I install a 5tonne lpg tank and a 2.5tonne tank on a plot of land, Land is not close to residential area. Will dpr approve it for a mini plant. Thnks

A plot and half or preferably two, will be suitable and will guarantee DPR approval.

Serious investors can call me on 07012617913.

I want to all LPG skid and plant owners to take safety seriously and desist from practices that can lead to disastrous situations.

DPR appears to be "relaxed"at the moment which is why lpg skids (especially the 2.5 Ton tank) are being mounted everywhere without much opposition from the regulatory agency.
Make no mistake, the proliferation of LPG skids is not being checked to allow the LPG industry to grow.

However, DPR will be forced to act and shut down many of such skids sited inappropriately if disasters occur. It is our prayer that this doesn't happen.

Please keep all sources of ignition away from your pressure vessel and filling gantry.

Meanwhile, I know most gas station owners are eagarly anticipating the december boom period.
Truth be told, I can't wait for the period to arrive as well because of the fast sales of gas we will record then.

The major prayer is that we shouldn't experience scarcity of lpg during the festive season.

JamesVIIILegend:
Yesterday makes it exactly 4 years that I graduated from UNIBEN with a BSc, second class upper. By God's grace, I finished with a 4-pointer CGPA and I left school with great delight and hope for the future.
In the last four years, a lot of things have happened. Yesterday was also the end of the service year for many erstwhile corpers, so I took the pain to write this down and share my story, hoping that everyone, especially those seeking for job opportunities will learn a thing or two.
As a young graduate in 2012 and 13, there were many challenges I faced and Some of them were even more serious sometimes because of my Christian faith
I graduated at the age of 26 and when i write application for jobs, some employers ask for long years of experience and age restrictions. Notable among these is the KPMG which I applied for but they didn't accept application from those over the age of 25. I was tempted severely and severally to swear affidavit in a court of law so I could adjust my age and be able to get these jobs.
A friend who was 27 when we applied did the same and got called for interview within months, when he told me about it that evening, it was just God that held me back from calling his runs guy to help me arrange mine.
I remember one of those days during NYSC when a sudden fear came upon me and I became sad within just because of the realisaytion that some good and reputable companies place age restrictions on their recruitment processes.
I prayed and wept that day and also made a vow never to lie about my age for any reason.
Fastforward to after NYSC- February 2014
I submitted applications in numerous places and in some instances invited for interviews. In a particular case, I lost the opportunity because I couldn't drive.
Two weeks after that one, there was a particular job opportunity I missed that brought tears to my eyes and pained my family members also.
It was a teaching job in one of those first-class sixth form Colleges in Lekki, Lagos.
Though they asked for experience, because of my passion for academics and also because the job was more or less a lecturing job considering the role, I decided to try my luck. The very idea of teaching excited me so much.
I applied and fortunately I was shortlisted for an interview.
Getting to the venue, I found out it was a very corporate school, they even had white students. The school had connection with some universities abroad.
The interview included some international exams including Cambridge exams for me. The exam was very hard and some questions were strange but I just tried my best.
After the written test, I was orally interviewed.
I told them the amount expected as salary, issue bothering around experience and so on.
About a week later, I got a message that I passed the first stage of the interview and I was invited for a final selection chat in Eko hotel and suites in Lagos.
Before that day, I had only seen Eko hotel on pages on newspapers and on the TV.
I didn't even know what to wear. I had no suit nor jacket. The shoe I wore for the interview was my grandad's.
On getting to the venue of the interview with my well-ironed shirt, tie and trousers, it turned out I was the only person not wearing suit,
We were shown to the office of a white man and soon, we started.
I need to state here that the institution hired a consultant to handle this recruitment for them, not all these agents.
When it got to my turn, I was right before the main man from the school and the consultant. The issue of experience came up again, but the consultant excused me and said I had no problem since I was personally recommended by the man teaching the subject because of the way I answered the question when he interviewed me in the written test.
The main man said since everyone one was okay with me. I was offered a congratulatory handshake and that was it. Even though I'd told them I would accept anything higher than 60k, they told me they would do better than that.
I was told I would be invited for a class practice just for formality since it was already concluded I've got for the job.
I left the place full of joy. I was so very glad. I couldn't wait to get home and inform my people. I even called them on my way home and they rejoiced with me.
Everyone was happy.
It was less than 2 months after NYSC- April 2014.
I started expecting to hear from these people but I didn't hear anything.
I was just sitting at home, expecting to resume my wonderful job. I even stopped applying for other jobs.
After about two weeks or thereabout, I decided to go to the school and find out the state of things.
I received a very sad news.
I was told the people they employed had resumed two weeks before that day.
I was also informed that nobody was employed for the subject I applied to teach. They said the person occupying the position who planned to leave the country changed his mind.
I stood there looking at the man like a ghost. I was devastated.
That was how the dream of working in such a nice environment was cut short.
When I got home and told my people, eyes were red but they tried their best to comfort me.
I had to settle for a teaching job of 25k per month I got through an advert on Guardian newspaper.
One thing about this particular teaching job was that I was told from onset that they assist their students during external exams. I also made it clear I would never be involved but would teach the students very well
For one reason or the other I was employed.
At a time in this school, I was the only teacher not assisting during external exams. I was overloaded with work. Sometimes I had no free period throughout the day. And the proprietress was not helping matters. She could humiliate anybody.
I felt like I was in a prison. To attend interview elsewhere na big wahala if she found out.
A time came I attended an interview with an insurance company. I was later invited for a four or three days training which did not connote automatic employment.
This school will never give me such time. NEVER.
I had only one option, take the risk and resign or forfeit this new opportunity.
I sought counsel from my Pastor who advised me and asked me to pray and take a final decision.
Eventually, I resigned.
My resignation led to war with the proprietress. She cursed and humiliated me that day when I asked for the previous month salary because it was a new month. I was so humiliated that I wept that day.
She rained abuses on me but I didn't reply her, not one word.
All I kept saying was 'I reject it in Jesus name'.
That was how I forfeited a full month salary and lesson fee for both Neco and WAEC for SSCE and also for junior WAEC.
I attended the training in the Insurance company only to find out that the job was a form of ADVANCED SLAVERY worse than the previous teaching job which I left behind.
So I was jobless once again.
This was May 2015 and I was staying with my Grandparents all this time.
I started struggling to get something doing
I attended some sham job interviews that the offer was nothing to write home about at all.
I was very desperate to get a job, but I couldn't put up with what was coming my way- they were not just worth it at all. Many employers are out to take advantage of the teeming unemployed youth in this country and I was not ready to be a slave.
One day, I stumbled on a post for employment on nairaland for the post of a Personal Assistant, PA.
I called the number and was asked to come for interview the following day.
I was selected for the job among the people that came for the interview.
It was a 50k starting job but I opted for it all the same.
That was how I was employed as PA to the Managing Director.
The first time I met the MD, he wasn't sure I was the type he really wanted. I guess it was due to the way I dressed.
He gave me few assignments which I did very well.
Before long, he complained about my dressing. He said I was not dressing up to his standard.
But he didn't just complain about it.
Some days later, he called me and took me to shoprite building.
He was just picking the clothes himself while I watch. Both shirts and trousers, all for me, without me paying a dime.
The one that surprised me was a belt he bought for me for 7k, till today, the belt is still as new.
The following day, he added sets of shoes from his personal closet. One of the shoes was even brand new. He did all these without deducting a penny from my salary.
The change around me was obvious to people, even in church. I tried my best to work very hard and my salary was reviewed upward in less than 6 months.
I didnt even know how to thank God for everything.
Despite the recession, this year in particular has been so wonderful in our company.
We went outside the state for a job together, and he left me behind to complete the assignments in those places.
When I returned, I was promoted from PA to Operation officer.
God has really been so faithful to me.
In spite of my age and lack of experiences, I have been promoted yet again in just over a year in the company. I am currently the company's Head of Operations.
I currently earn a six figure income to God's glory.
Apart from the money, I have learnt a lot on this job, my level of exposure on the job has been superb.
I, who was rotting away last year in a secondary school now fly in aeroplane here and there as If I am boarding bus.
My Lord!
I really bless God, because no matter the situation, he cannot forget his own.
I am not alone in this.
I also have other brethren who God has placed in good places today.
Some are running Masters abroad, some already lecturing, some on wonderful teaching jobs and other good places. I even jam one of my University fellowship brothers on a flight to Abuja the other day. He works in a very good company too.
I want you to share this anonymously.
I want to encourage the new graduates just released from NYSC that God will take care of them if they trust him.
The old graduates who are also still looking for better opportunities will surely be remembered. Let them continue to trust in God.
God owes no man.
It is not the time to start compromising by reducing age or lieing about experience. I lost many opportunities because of my age, but I bless God for today and what he still has in store.
It is time to trust God fully without hanky panky. THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS, IF WE LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY.
The experience was not that easy. There were times I made my mistakes in the course of the struggles. One has to settle things with God quickly and move on, learning to trust him more.
My conclusion is just that anytime we allow God to have his way. Things works fine though it may not be easy. The grace of God is what keeps us all going. There is no superman anywhere.
We are all what we are by the grace of God.

I'm very happy for you. The trust is that things can only get better for you, if you remain on the path of rightousness.
Your own situation can be likened to mine but I'm a businessman.
There were times I was tempted to compromise and cut cornersin business but I always reminded myself that Almighty GOD frowns against acts of dishonesty and was watching me in high definition wherever I was.
You may appear stupid when you decide to be upright but I can assure you that you will be blessed by GOD before long.
When I look at my present situation, I'm always thankful to GOD. I'm truly overwhelmed with what GOD has done for me at my age.
If you want GOD to bless and open doors for you, be honest and upright in your dealings.

ncolumella:
no I'm sorry....we smallest we have is 2.5tons

Please stick to your thread and don't impersonate.

Thanks.

ddestiny20:
is there any smaller than d 2.5 Ton cause I need to start with something smaller

Yes, we have 1.5 Ton.

This world we currently live in is getting more dangerous on a daily basis.
Anybody that knows the real agenda of these people can not celebrate this type of intervention.
Many evil things are happening underground that people are not aware of.

My humble advice is that we should all stay close to Jesus in these last days. The devil is now working relentlessly to destroy mankind by any means and since he made most of these folks rich, he can freely use them to further his agenda.

That is all I will say.

Jesuobu:
For those who don't believe in afterlife and heaven, read this news reported by CNN of a ghost captured on camera coming out of a dead man. CNN don't report unconfirmed report.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/14/us/spirit-leaving-body-photo-trnd/

There is definitely afterlife.
The very sad thing is that it will be too late for some people when they realize this.
There is heaven and there is hell.
You will only make heaven if you have been forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and live a holy life till the rapture occurs or breathe your last.
Else, the destination is hell.

Now, the time is short. There is no time to argue anymore. I will advice all sinners to repent and give their lives to Jesus Christ.

Very soon, sinners will watch and read the news of the rapture on tvs worldwide. By that time it will be too late.

You have a choice to make before the rapture occurs or breathe your last.

May the Lord help you to make the right choice.

msogunro:
Can you give me an estimate of what each of the items above would cost? My cousin is thinking of getting into this business so I'm doing some research for him.

Thanks.

The issue is that the prices of some of these items change often- at times almost on a daily basis.

50kg is about N22, 000 presently. If you are in lagos, you can go to these warehouses in mile 2/agric or Alaba Intl. Market to get the best prices.
