Rubbish people

*Forwarded As Received!*

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with.

Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28."

The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below.

Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it.

The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited.

I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer.

It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do.

I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop.

It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us.

I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. , If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself. Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those.

It will never be me.

Those who knows Nigeria's problems is more than Tinubu's presidency are asking for bedrock of a good nation, which is Constitution.
But the gullible ones who knows nothing but believe they know it all are asking for #endhunger protest and #military take over because Tinubu is the president

I wished these people were let go you'd see how selfish and covetous they when it comes to leadership and governance.
Examples are there to see APGA, Ohanese and rest.
Forming parallel forces always because they think they are masters all the time.
They want others to team with them while they cannot come to terms with each other.

Is this your first or second investment in this country?
That's a blackmailing and unreasonable statement from a purported patriotic Nigerian like Dangote.
If we had round pegs in the round holes many these anomalies wouldn't see the light of the day.
Hunter now being haunted!!!!!!
A regulator cannot control the stakeholders because they enjoy special treatment from the power that be.
How would an economy fly when big economic players enjoy a reduced exchange rate at detriment of small manufacturers?
In conclusion, discerning minds can deduce that this conspiracy is even beyond Nigerian government and I want to believe Dangote himself suspect this from his recent utterances but unfortunately it's a payback too.

*Nigeria's one and Only goat is proving too difficult for Dangote's snake to swallow*

1 Dangote wanted to take over NNPC assets at the dying hours of Obasanjo's administration, President YarAdua thought it was not proper to hand over the nation's assets to two individuals, who wanted to buy it as scraps then. Consequently, the contract was scrapped by YarAdua.

2 Buhari/Emefiele came in and provided ENOUGH OXYGEN for Dangote to "complete' the refinery and even paid 70% of his loan on a factory that was yet to refine one litre of gasoline according to the embattled CBN Governor, Emefiele
It was commissioned even when it was not ready by Buhari and Emefiele. Some hidden truths that are not known to us, here

3 Meanwhile, Buhari had made substantial forward Oil sales that would prevent Dangote from getting crude without breaking the existing contract. Here, the dead body was not properly buried, a protruding toe could be seen.

4 *Apparently, all is not well with that Project abnito* Some TRUTHS are hidden, some things buried by CBN were not carefully done. It seems what took Dangote to the top can no longer sustain him at the top ,i.e. MONOPOLY. IOCs, NNPC, CBN, Nigerians are all asking different questions from different perspectives

5 In 100/100 circumstances, MONOPOLY is injurious to the health of any national economy.
OLIGOPOLY is a state policy in South Korea, the State deliberately empower some individuals to create wealth, people like DAWOO, SAMSUNG etc. But the rule of LAW is SACROSANCT. DAEWOO, once the richest South Korean ended up in jail when he broke the law. CEO of Samsung was sent to jail recently for law breaking.
That's why Jack Ma, (Alu Baba) , Chinese richest man ran into trouble in China. He teaches in a university today That's why Google and Microsoft ran into trouble in the West.
Monopolists ( ALL OF THEM ) build their wealth through unfair exploitation of Commonwealth.

10 years ago I went to Texas, USA and got a license on MODULAR REFINERY . NNPC hosted about 50 of us , the applicants at Presidential hotel Port Harcourt to a Workshop on how to successfully run modular refinery. The first shock I got was that the first 15 people licensed by the federal government to operate Modular refinery failed because NNPC could not give them crude. The 2nd shock I got were from my bankers who told me point blank that *since Alhaji is planning to go into petroleum refinery, we can't give you financial support because competing with Alhaji is like standing in front of a moving train*
That ended my ambition in that business. I counted my losses and moved on. And the Banks gave examples of people who stood in front of Alhaji's moving train and what happened to them. BUA came out recently to share his own side of the story

6 I truly want Alhaji to succeed because if he does, it has positive implications on the economy and vice versa.

7 *However, the OIL BUSINESS belongs to 220 million Nigerians: It is not just a BIG GOAT but it is Nigeria's ONLY GOAT*

8 NNPC probably has realized the full implications and that's why they refused to pay up their counterpart funding to acquire 20% equity as earlier agreed.

9 What should Alhaji do in this circumstance that will be win-win?
Alhaji should come out publicly and sell at least 49.5% equity to Nigerians in a transparent manner. Only him can't swallow Nigeria's only goat, it will CHOKE him The goat is already hanging in the middle of his throat: It is not going down to his stomach and it is not possible to formit it.

10 Even in Saudi Arabia, ARAMCO was sold to the whole world and Saudi government became better, thereafter.

It is not a question of selling small shares like Alhaji did with cement, he has to turn over the company -to be co-owned by Nigerians, who are the real owners of all the wealth in the first instance.
Bill Gates owns bearly 5% of Microsoft. He faced the same problem Alhaji is facing today years back because for Microsoft to stand so many IT companies collapsed. Gates faced dozens of Antitrust court cases in America and Europe. But when he did the needful, peace came to him

If Alhaji shares the wealth (49.5%) with the real owners of the wealth - Nigerians, that refinery will work because by then, it will become *OUR REFINERY It is impossible for "our refinery" to fail but highly likely for Alhaji's refinery to face unending, insurmountable challenges*
*My two cents*!
COPIED

The atrocities and impurities going on in that yard in Ikorodu comprising different Lagos agencies are enormous. They coerce and cook up charges once they observed that you are not ready to part with your hard earned money

President Tinubu unanimously re-elected as ECOWAS chairman, reiterates call for regional force

President Bola Tinubu has called on Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS to work towards the establishment and sustenance of a regional standby force for the security and economic advancement of the community.

Speaking during the opening of the 65th Ordinary Session of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government on Sunday, in Abuja, President Tinubu, who was unanimously re-elected the Chairman of the regional bloc, highlighted the expediency of a standby force in the face of growing security threats.

“The Regional Action Plan against Terrorism has enhanced cooperation on training, intelligence sharing, and humanitarian interventions. In addition to this, the Ministers of Finance and Defence met recently in Abuja to raise funds for activating the ECOWAS Standby Force to boost counter-terrorism efforts.

“Member countries are also displaying their commitment to combating insecurity by individually increasing their defence budgets in order to acquire necessary equipment and ensure preparedness,’’ the President said.

President Tinubu urged member states to commit more to providing the needed resources for securing the region.

“Let me underscore that a peaceful and secure society is essential for achieving our potential. As we move to operationalize the ECOWAS Standby Force (ESF) in combating terrorism, I must emphasize that the success of this plan requires not only strong political will but also substantial financial resources.

“We must, therefore, ensure that we meet the expectations and recommendations set forth by our Ministers of Defence and Finance, in order to counter insecurity and stabilize our region,’’ the President added.

President Tinubu advised ECOWAS leaders to leverage the capabilities of Nigeria's National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), which has been widely acknowledged as one of the best on the continent.

Obi would have given petrol to every motorists or at N100 because he's good at import and export business ?
The CBN won't mind to give Nigerians money since Emefiele his kinsman can easily bring back the money he looted and tell him the secret of inflation dynamics and also can tell Obi why the backlog of forex is unsolved
The decadence and porosity of many years will just fly away in one swoop miraculously because Obi's Daddy has spoken to Almighty for his sake only.
As far as I'm concerned Tinubu has been the brightest uphill now among the contenders the system pushed forward.
And I'm not seeing us changing the narrative for the system to permit more brilliant leaders soon based on our level of political approches and orientations

Edo no be Lagos used to be your usual slogan so continue to defend impunity and corruption because you want to score cheap political point.
That old man Tony Anenih was the first person who was fully paid to construct that axis he said it was for rehabilitation under the cover of Obj and Stella.
Just continue to enjoy the results of your kind of politics .

No wonder they sent Al Jazeerah parking out of Gaza so they can continue to enjoy their decades of one-sided reportage.
The whole world already knows the truth for Israel to go as far as blackmailing the UN Secretary General is enough proof to their charade.

Some 200 mullion population deliberately being put to jeopardy because some few selfish and callous wanted status quo to remain so they can continue using sentimental elites as pawns for their games.
If I were the president my security apparatus shall consist mainly people that understand my dialect.
Fvck any tribal chauvinism

Wa ṣere ọmọ; the result of Sunday Dagboru movie and the rest.
When society throws all cautions into the winds definitely the consequences would be unimaginable.
No regulations for what our kids read and watch and we think we won't have repercussions?

One spanner loss

Instead of seeking redress collectively we have our blame game and untoward politics This affects everyone as Nigerians and we should even sue all the necessary agencies involved in regulating and protecting our privacy as citizens of this great nation

Regulations! Regulations!!Regulations!!!!
Nigeria may be no more within the shortest period of time without carrying a single gun if we keep handing our security especially in the cyberspace with continued levity

Una go hear wen with your hates and hypocrisy.
Despite the conspiracy of the America and Israel in blowing Nordstream gas pipeline to demonise Russia so as to gain the gas deal which requires Gaza being overrun by Israel, no wonder the American government is untouched with the ongoing genocide just because of economic gains.
They have lost it all, a new world order has emerged

Who born monkey? Ijebu always with exceptional touches

We need a fair mutual deal

What is her name for clarity and sound evidence. I am actually not surprised because a colleague in oil and gas then, once qouted him as saying "if he knew the networth of his mother earlier he would not be following his father up and down"
That guy is a dissapointment with the huge resources at his disposal he's nowhere around top notch business guru in this country

Fineman2:
Iran is number 3, and yet US and Europe are hellbent on causing chaos in that country which will affect global economy

Also in Venezuela where America is troubling the leadership of that country because former President, Hugo Chavez aligned with Russia who they eventually killed.
Maduro, present president of Venezuela is always being blackmailed and bullied simply because he towed the way of his predecessor.
They don't want Russia ally near them but they are forcing themselves near Russia.
Only buffoon won't be able to identify the real terrorists of the world

Buhari could not recruit 10,000 policemen throughout his 2 term-presidency as advertised by his government due to the mistrust between Police Service Commission and the IGP. And here we are in this new Tinubu administration same scene playing out because of tribal sentiments and rot in the Nigerian police yet we want to combat insecurity and territorial incursions.
DEY PLAYYY

BRICS knocking with full force. Let the ignoramus and the bigots continue basking in the euphoria of idiocy
Imagine 1974 deal?

BRICS is hitting hard and their economies are feeling the heat so they need it to chunk it up covertly.
Nigeria needs to balance her trade alternative outside dollar

All government needs to do is to face its core mandate which is proper regulations.
Whatever market system is deployed can be managed prompt upto the security apparatuses.
As big and diverse Nigeria she shouldn't be this loose!!!!

Dame Patience Jonathan installed Wike as the Governor with the silence and lackadaisical attitude of the purported erudite leader, the youngest so far to occupy the position of president of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Jonathan gave me a lifeline as an entrepreneur and I'm appreciative but he messed up being a weak leader.
He could not assent to a confab he initiated by his government, a move that would taken us far politically
He bowed to the Northerners pressure by removing Festus Odimegwu without any reason uptill today simply because the man initiated a comprehensive national database for proper identification through central server.
Even to commission a big project that will benefit the whole of South South at Ogidigben in Delta state, a whole president bowed to some pressure from Area boys there.
Wike was a nobody until his government brought him to intimidate Amaechi with illegal federal might. Both of them eventually deserved each other going by what has transpired in the successive political soace

Great turnaround in Ogidi truly, especially the local government secretariat where Chinua Achebe Library was the only new edifice, a bungalow of 200sqm as at year 2000 which doesn't warrant making unnecessary comparison.
Now I can confirm that Igbos are empty barrels and have turned Nairaland to their only mouthpiece for propaganda
If I told you the neglect and abandonment from Zik's House on Limca Road to Nkpor, to Ogidi to Afigwe bypassing Abatete down to Amawbia you'd keep quiet with your unguarded boasts
