PiperAlpha: Majority of the Multinational E&P companies are divesting and are now moving offshore due to rising oil theft, community issues, sabotage nd delay in the passage of the PIB. Shell made a very good call IMO. I just hope our indigenous oil companies would be able to manage these assets effectively and create more employment opportunities. However, Taleveras Group and aiteo are not Nigerian companies.

Bawss1: Shell selling its wells to surrogates? You must think this is some nollywood flick don't you. Anyway your comment, like many others here, is hardly surprising given that many Nlanders have a poor understanding of the oil industry.

addictiv: with all these coys going offshore, this indicates good news and more jobs drilling and subsea engineers

Do you know that USA has deliberately artificially maintiaining high oil prices, reason is that oil is becoming worthless and they will maintain artificially high until all the multinational oil firms sold off their oil blocks in Nigeria and take out their profits. then they will allow the oil price to crash.

Crisis looms - If oil prices crashes to say $45 per barrel how can FG function? Can they import food? Can they pay salaries?

Crisis looms, that is why USA now have troops in Nigeria under the guise of looking for non-existent "kidnapped" Chibok school girls. USA probably wants to breakup Nigeria before we can get a chance to get a decent patriotic govt that can make us powerful again.

USA are on the ground to shape the Nigeria that may emerge after the crisis / break up

eledacedar: The truth is that there are still considerable hydrocarbons in some of these onshore assets that can fetch the local companies money. By the time they run 4D or 5D seismic survey and with new technology, they can go deeper into the OLIGOCENE PLAY and drill deeper.

There are lots of bypassed reservoirs in these oil blocs that the available technology as at the time of exploration in the 60s, 70s and early 80s could not see.

Billyonaire: Shell is facing corruption and spillage charges in international courts and now they are selling part of their assets to other companies owned by their surrogates. In the end, its just a change of name to avoid much losses after court ruling. I can see through their lies and mischief cos I do this all the time. Crazy corporate m-o-t-h-e-r-f-u-c-k-e-r.

SeaGold: Job cut. Pursuing a career in the upstream/downstream sector will now be an option for lots

eledacedar: Shell has found the treasure in their offshore assets. The reservoirs there have more hydrocarbons than the onshore assets and the stress is reduced for them.

Syenite: Well, our National Oil company is capable of buying over these assets. Soon the NPDC will take full operatorship. Good for Nigerians.

Op how u take do am? While it took some threads 3yrs to make front page, it took urs just minutes. God will answer my prayers in minutes o. Amen.

incredibleace: For many years nw I have being using water to wash off after an elderly medical doctor told me it was more hygenic than tissue paper,(I only use tissue when it aint convinent to use water).

Water rocks!!!!

Dawezz: Nor be your shit?

ITbomb: I can't imagine spreading water all over a public toilet floor and on my trousers just to wipe shit.

A Yoruba colleague (way back) was transferred after his workmates complained of slippage risk every time he uses the convenience and splash water on the floor.
Tissue is preferred. Neat and dry

aanumama: Tissue ke, lai lai! use water and wash your hands with soap. tissue cleans nothing, you will still have something stuck there.
Tissue paper is a no no for me, I always carry adult wipes in my purse in case I'm left with the option of using tissue, so after using tissue i still use my wipe.

Sincere9gerian: I'm still not impressed with how the index case of Ebola in Nigeria was managed. Anyway, good to hear that the ebola tsunami may be coming to an end soon.

FrankC3: You may be logically correct (the insult part aside) but NMA lost lots of credibility and public sympathy (emotional support) by insisting on the strike action. The perception of the masses is that the Government was able to manage EVD without the help of the doctors. That position is terribly uninformed, probably because NMA has made those same masses to believe that THEY ARE the doctors and without them, the National health system collapses.

Blockus:



And we did it without a Single Doctor..



FHUCK the NMA, Nigerian Doctors and their Sponsors THE APC..



GEJ till the Nigerian Flag changes to Yellow White Yellow..

#NIGERIANS.. We dont Die, We multiply.

Amya: You shouldn't call me a fool because you want to make your point. That's really low.

For me the white man is over-hyping the Ebola out break if it existed at all - definitely there is propaganda about the deadliness of Ebola, it may surprise many that there is at least one disease more deadly than they claim ebola is.

Why do you think Ebola propaganda is being propelled by the white man?

Why do you think they want to panic us and make us fearful of Ebola.?

What do you think about the theory that they want to panic us into accepting dangerous experimental vaccines (and probably other unrelated dangerous medical tests) to be used on Nigerian / West African population.

Do you know it is almost impossible to find somebody who has been filmed suffering from the symptoms of Ebola?
It makes you wonder if the disease exists at all.

Why are is WHO creating hysteria for Ebola and not Rabies? Is it because Ebola is for discrediting Africa only?

I saw this video where Liberian president was on CNN saying that there has been 47 deaths in Liberia and that 28 of those has been medical staff. As she was saying this CNN was flashing up that 730 deaths in the West African region.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGx66evPmk

It struck me that CNN or W.H.O. are exaggerating the deaths because if as we are told that Liberia is one of the major epicentres of the Ebola, then surely its share of the 730 deaths should be in the region of at least 200 deaths instead of 47 deaths.

But even more surprising is the part that she said 28 of the deaths were medical staff, meaning only 19 patients have died in Liberia.

So a major epicentre of the illness has only recorded 19 deaths ?

Then she reveals that her people are resisting authorities .. W.T. .? what does it mean? is it that Liberians were not aware of the epidemic until the USA medical mission told them?

What do you think?

Amya: And somehow you're very sure, absolutely sure that they haven't provided with the basic amenities because a newspaper article says so. The point I was simply trying to say is this, just for the fact that a huge sum have been mentioned as funds to fight ebola, whatever is given (whether reasonable) will apparently not be enough just for the simple fact that 1.9billion has been mentioned.

My reply wasn't particularly to the article, but to the psychology behind the doctors complaint in the first place. No matter how sincere an article sounds, it doesn't necessary mean the truth. In the main article, some of the doctors claimed what they've been using is there own funds for the treatment and management of ebola. Can you believe that? We just have 1 Ebola center active with patients in the entire country so you know. They are well taken care of by both the state and the federal government, by like Oliver, they want some more.

P.s. . Yes Ebola is a very sensitive issue, and to get a national outrage , you just have to say things like those stated in the original article, but I think the government are doing a lot in trying to curb the menace, sentiments aside.

PassingShot: I see a battle for relevance and superiority between FG's Minister for Health (Prof. Onyebuchi) and LASG's Health Commissioner (Dr. Idris) instead of embracing cooperation and coordination to manage the situation more effectively. Unfortunately, it is Nigeria that will suffer from this type of unnecessary show of shame.

sugarboimaxy: Nigerians spreading false rumours since amalgamation!

shakol91: @ Decontee. No be Patrick's fault na Liberia and Nigeria government fault for their lackadaisical attitude allowing porous borders and not having a good preventive measure

ABEngine: 1. Friends never mention when the applications were ongoing but will waste no time to publish their locations if you wish to gate crash.
2. Having to suffer the collective fate of being amongst a wrong group during a group interview session.
3. Delaying candidates the entire day, subjecting the to physical and psychological stresses yet expect optimal performance NLNG & NNPC
4. Stampede
5. Job portals making our emails available for SEO marketers and spam mailers at a fee
6. Publishing already filled vacancies for the sake of due process
7. Redundant email links or dead career portals on most companies webpage
8. For the mushroom-like firms with big pay, the gate man doubles as the personnel recruiting officer, if you don't dance to his tune please check the bin
9. Girls run from you like a plague, don't even let em spot your bent heel
10. For indigenous oil companies and few others, its ladies first. Keep that weight appropriately it might just land you the next big job
11. I suffer shaa those years, trying to listen to my lady's heart but she kept paying attention to my purse. Then one day, She left and I paid more attention to the hunt #InAkimbo#

It was fun after all, stories must be told. Be diligent, remain steadfast in prayer and be informed. #ThatsAll

eaglechild: The minister's system of giving information is utterly confusing and very shady.

The minister reeks of incompetence.

The media houses are also compounding issues.

There should be a central source of information.

lovito: It is not a matter of life and death, i know someone that did the same but it was after giving birth to all her children. Since u're still believing God for your own children why not build up your faith and go to MFM Prayer city you will surely have a testimony instead of going for hysterectomy.

donpeey22: Smh for those of you that don't know when to play politics and when not to. The FG through the health minister has been handling this ebola outbreak with all the seriousness it deserves, and has even received international commendation for her efforts to curb the spread of the virus, yet bigots like you keep propagating falsehood all in an attempt to make the government appear incompetent. In case you don't know, if more people had been infected, it wouldn't have been in the realm of speculations. Many deaths would have been recorded.

deji68: I am well informed enough for a bystander, i am not in the army, but what i have seen and read enough

we have Tanks(BH have none, except technikers)
we APC (BH have stolen few)
Well kitted soldiers with body armour(only shekau and some commanders have body armour)
Well equiped Snipers Team(BH unkown)
Artillery(we have one the best in Africa)
Aircover(enough for BH Battle)
150000 Men(BH has etimated 4000 fighter)



.I think the army is well equip enough to fight the BH scourge.There is alway complain of inadequate equipments.It happened at the initial stage of the Gulf, where US soldier , complained about the amoury of their APC and Humvees.In every human endeveour, everyone could alway do with a better tool...but neglecting ur duty while waiting for upgrade is wrong....I notice a trend in disparaging the NA in the media ...Let support our millitary We should not mistake cowardice for agitation for better weapon....I think some of those, thinking we can buy a super machine off the shelve, press some buttons and the war is won, are living in fools paradise..The hard reality is that many soldiers will pay the supreme price to protect our freedom , some have already done(May their soul rest in peace).America with all their drones and weapon are still losing soldier...there is no shortcut only hard work, sweat,gut and grit will carry us through....for the deserters..make una go drink the magic portion ala Asterix druid getafix instead of peeper soup...or go find another Job For the Gallant ones GOd will continue to protect u

RaptorX: What nonsence am i talking? The American death toll in Iraq was 4000+ kia, and 30,000 wounded before they pull out and in Afghanistan 2000+ kia and rising, these are official US dept of defence figures so mr know all what nonsence am i talking.

ocelot2006: The FG adopted the Carrot & Stick approach. The late Yaradua initial granted amnesty to all the militant groups, but was to last till September of that year (2006/2007 I think). Immediately it ended, the stick (Joint Task Force under the then Brig. Gen Bell, current Counter-terrorism Coordinator at the Office of the NSA) was applied with ruthless efficiency. Port Harcourt was retaken from the grasp of militants and cultists, the dreaded Camp-9 of MEND was captured, and militant leaders were hunted down like rats. Or why do you think they all ran to the swamps?
