Because they don't have enough Nigerian pilots and the new company handling shell has almost 100% local pilots WITHOUT any form of accident whatsoever. Now you suck that up you ignoramus.

Since you claim he is so unpopular in the creeks what then is stopping Buhari from Picking him up? When the Gbege starts loudmouthed cowards like you will be no where to be found.

tuniski:
let's assumed u know everything, is it by insult that u educate people? Anyway, I maintain that the subsidy scheme is a scam especially on domestic production. Where on earth will I produce my own corn and mill it myself with my machine and reference some dangote price as the determinant of my rate when I want to eat tuwo? By the way why the argument for local refineries as way of making products available and cheap when already the little being produced locally are not cheaper than imported ones?

In other words, it makes more sense for the Niger-Delta Man to stay in Nigeria and have 3 masters (Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba) than to be in Biafra and have only one? It makes more sense to the Niger-Delta Man to share his Oil wealth with the entire Nigeria because in Biafra "He will share it with only Igbos". I'm struggling not to laugh. The Niger-Delta Man is fighting for resource control while a major conspiracy was hatched and executed just few months ago that kicked a Niger-Delta man out of office and took all political control from you people. Who were the only people who stood by GEJ and the Niger-Delta to the end? There is no need for too much argument. If the Niger-Delta are are happy to continue being slaves in Nigeria while everybody enjoys there Oil money, I'm all for it too. Obviously your not from the Niger-Delta because no Niger-Delta man can be this stupiid.

From your personal message below, it shows you are a mere Northern elite apologist. I must tell you that you have not made yourself quite convincing enough with your cosmetic explanation.
Rather than build Agro-allied and food processing industries to maximize your strong points and create the much needed local employment where it is much needed, you had to get your zone involved in the miry business. Let us see how much intelligent the planners are in these days of shale oil, falling oil prices and green energy.

osewanu:
What a load of rubbish. People come here to display crass ignorance. Was the crew all Nigerian? Wasn't the commander an American? Why haven't aircraft with all Nigerian crew been falling off the sky everyday? Why doesn't Caverton with almost 95% local content have safety issues? Or have u heard of caverton crashing or having any accident? Why did Dana crash occur with an all expat crew(American and indian) since they are so superior to Nigerians. Why didn't the American turn to superman and save the aircraft in the first place?
Do you know how difficult it is to be shortlisted,pass the cadet interview, how hard it is to graduate from Bristow flying school and how difficult it is to finally get on the line as a Nigerian even in our own country?

emancipate yourself from mental slavery my friend.
If you don't have any thing tangible to contribute, don't type.
May the crew rip

osewanu:
It doesn't make sense to you because you are da.ft and know nothing about helicopters.
I think you're just another e-diot who thinks because he's a regular flyer he knows all not realising he knows nada. And for your info,bristow doesn't fly for shell anymore.

subnormal:
Could you guys just back off? I know these guys, the least among them had 10 yrs offshore experience and they are up to date with their BOSIET. Besides, the company they work for would not even let you step foot offshore if you have not been trained or if your cert is expired.

boujaye:
Agreed but the scripture says that safety is of the Lord. Note that the accidented helicopter is owned by Bristow which have a high Safety standard operating in the oil companies.

Chineduorizu:
the ans is 18.









thank me later.

Demmocrats:
Even the helicopters pilot needs to be given a medal of honour if he survived for saving nine lives out of 12. Baba God really worked his miracles

kollysnipe:
I boarded same ill fated flight on my return journey from one of the FPSO precisely two weeks ago. It was flown by this missing pilot. Bello. I had flown with him thrice. A very nice and humble person. I pray he is found alive. Miracles do happen

Being a morron is not an admirable trait. I have been going to Ikwere land since 2000. What the they speak is unadulterated Igbo. Their Igbo is even clearer than some communities in the SE.

zendy:
I see you have a penchant for talking nonsense. I asked a question here and you are talking off-point. If you meet a person who's language is Igbo and has an Igbo surname, is this person Igbo? I know many Ikwere who are proud to be Igbo while others reject there 'Igbones' because of oil. People like you are just after the Oil of the South-South people that's why you would be happy for the Ikwere Man to forget his Igbo identity. Let me tell you something, these people will choose Biafra over Nigeria any day because in truth, they gain nothing from Nigeria. Wether you like it or not, we Igbos and our kith and kin are going to leave this "Whiteman fabricated camp" you people call 'Nigeria' and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Biafra is not negotiable.

tuniski:
at no point should subsidy be paid on locally produced petroleum products cos we own the crude and the production mechanism. Abi govt they pay it self? It is gimmick to say the least. Whatever happens in the international market should not affect local refining! I am yet to hear that products from our refinery are cheaper!

erico2k2:
U can't just generalise. Petrol sold for 87 fru out last yr in PH

matrixme:
How exactly is it that we produce crude oil from the coast and pass pipelines millions of kilometres underground to the north and claim that as a success? In the days of Boko haram, what does the north have to do with refining petroleum products when the pipes can easily be hijacked by the evil does? I wont be surprised if we have to deal with cases of oil spillage in the North someday. Economic planners in Nigeria are truly brainless

erico2k2:
I think either you and anulaxad are kids of the 80s or are rather ignorant or blinded by ethnic bigotry,Im from the Niger Delta and know my history very well,PMB built no refinaries, where do you guys get this rubish from? election has come and gone here you are still baking in the lies politicians flungged to you this is taking it Hook n Sinker
igerian first Refinery, Port Harcourt Refinery located at Alesa Eleme, was built by Shell Petroleum and British Petroleum from 1963 to 1965. The company operates two oil refineries including an old plant commissioned in 1965 that can process 60,000 barrels of oil per stream day and the new plant commissioned in 1989, which has a capacity of 150,000 bpsd.

Buhari Joined the army as a recruit in 1962 and for sure will not have built this Refinery.

The Warri Refinery was awarded by Yakubu Gowon to Snamprogetti Spa Milan, Italy in 1975 (in this period, Buhari was the governor of North-eastern state) at the cost of $478 million and commenced operation in 1978 (now few months as Petroleum Minister). It had the design capacity of 100,000 b/d.
The Kaduna Refinery was awarded by Murtala Mohammed in 1976 and was built by Chiyoda Engineering and Construction Company – a Japanese firm, at the cost of $525 million and was completed by Obasanjo in 1979 (Buhari’s tenure as the Petroleum. Minister ended in 1978).
It had two refining streams (50,000 b/d fuels units) and (50,000 b/d lubes, waxes Asphalt plants).
Port Harcourt 11 as we mentioned above was awarded by Gen IBB in 1985 with an installed capacity of 150,000 b/d and completed in 1989.
Meanwhile in 1985, IBB undertook an expansion of the capacities of the fuels units in both Warri and Kaduna refineries to 125,000b/d and 110,000b/d respectively. He therefore added 185,000b/d capacity to the total 445,000b/d as at 1989. No further addition has been added till date.
So, when did Buhari build the four refineries?

herald9:
The Nigerian government was so wise that they built a refinery at where oil is not produced.

Before you go after GEJ,Nigeria must find another source of revenue besides oil!!! Lol it is even easier to go after OBJ,Tinubu than to go after GEJ.

The majority leader in osun state is now sweeping floor,when the ND militancy resumes. He will be mopping the floor

Sincere9gerian:
Shameless liar! Do you live in the southeast? I've lived in the southeast for almost 2 decades. Fuel sold for govt approved price in the whole of southeast all thru the last regime, except during rare period of general scarcity. In fact, at a certain point, we bought fuel #1 less than govt approved price.

God punish all liars

tuniski:
the question is ; what is the Selling price of pms from our refineries? If subsidy is paid on imported products, is it being Paid locally too?these people are just deceiving themselves. Since we became self sufficient in cement production, it has never been cheaper. What then is the hype?

zendy:
Igbo sounding names? Igbo sounding language. Nonsense. The first time I was in Ikereland I understood everything they said, infact, I understand Ikwere-Igbo even better than Abakiliki-Igbo. Some Ikwere people say they not Igbo but we all know it's about the politics of Oil.

zendy:
SS people? What's this so called SS people? SS is just a term the Abacha Government came up with. It is not the name of a people. How do you identify an Igbo person? Is it by the language or surname? I'm from Anambra, I speak Igbo as my ancestral language and I have an Igbo surname, am I Igbo? The Ikwere Man speaks Igbo as his language and has an Igbo name, is he Igbo? Next thing you will tell me that the Ikwere are not Igbo because Abacha came up with the name South-South.
