Niger deltans did not nominate kachikwu for the position. Ibb and danjuma picked him as their choice but with the way kachikwu's bro run NNPC, PMB had no choice.

Knew it had to do with Dumebi Kachikwu. That dude is just too scandalous.

Quit the dullness please, it's nauseating. Is it too much to ask that u display even d most basic of intelligence?

It's a happy time when you crown yourself king of the el stupidos. But why am I not surprised? It's in your genes. All you do is blow stuff up

Destructive lots

freeze001:
Remind me again the favorite tool of destruction deployed by boko haram, ISIS and the generality of muslim terrorists who are ur kith and kin? If u had a basic understanding of Solar energy and its operation, you would have had no need for your ignorant statement.

Straw man argument. Your reputation for wanton destruction precedes you.

Exactly our problem we mistake quality for quantity. Not minding standards and the so called effect of your clean energy on our environment. Creating a new dump ground for low quality garbage.

If you knew your onions about clean energy, you'll know that China is now a trailblazer when it comes to cheap quality cells.

“This bid tells us that some bidders are willing to risk a lot for the prestige of being the cheapest solar developer,” said Jenny Chase, head of solar analysis at BNEF. “Nobody knows how it’s meant to work.”

Plunging costs along with the bankruptcy for the biggest developer, SunEdison Inc., has spurred questions about whether the cheapest projects will ever be profitable. The collapse of the world’s largest renewable energy company made some banks wary of financing projects.

guys, that someone tender his cost implications for a job in an organised civil society doesn't mean what you've on your headline is true.

Renewable energy is abundant yes, harnessing it nko? Is it cheap, mind you the tarrif there is dependent on the estimated installation cost.

It's the beginning of low costs. The fact that overpriced SunEdison got bankrupt doesn't mean Chinese developers won't pick up the slack.

MeAboki:
No need to make it top secret as already many individuals in the north are already taking the initiative to invest in personal solar systems to power their homes and small businesses - with an abundance of God given sun one wonders why this hadn't happen any sooner.

In the interim another initiative has recently emerged, where youths with a bit of capital establish generator based micro power plant businesses called 'merger'; they supply power to as many as 70 -90 small shops (as temporary substitutes for PHCN) using 3 phase generators for a daily fee of as little as N200 - N300/day.

Meanwhile, let the NDA continue bombing as the rest of the country diversifies and moves on; while through their own actions they unwittingly help to wean Nigerians from over dependency on their oyel, thereafter making their ongoing militancy lesser and lesser of an economic weapon of blackmail - they are by all means welcomed to continue with the bombing; after all, pickin wey say im mama no go sleep him ma no go sleep.

I am talking about thousands of megawatts and you are here promoting a hobby.

theV0ice:
Its inevitable that we'll join the rest of the world in utilising cleaner and renewable energy. Whether this year or in 5 years time, solar, wind, hydro will play major roles in our energy search.

I just heard about a top secret government project that will be massive. Of course, it's in the North and they will use it as leverage.

So does this answer the Ikwerre question?

Solar just beat coal and with small time it will beat gas. How much longer can a great country such as ours continue to rely on gas supply from a trouble spot?

New Record Set for World's Cheapest Solar, Now Undercutting Coal

- 2.99 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour is 15% lower than old record
- Cheaper than new coal-fired electricity in the Gulf emirate

Solar power set another record-low price as renewable energy developers working in the United Arab Emirates shrugged off financial turmoil in the industry to promise projects costs that undercut even coal-fired generators.
Developers bid as little as 2.99 cents a kilowatt-hour to develop 800 megawatts of solar-power projects for the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority, the utility for the Persian Gulf emirate, announced on Sunday. That’s 15 percent lower than the previous record set in Mexico last month, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

The lowest priced solar power has plunged almost 50 percent in the past year. Saudi Arabia’s Acwa Power International set a record in January 2015 by offering to build a portion of the same Dubai solar park for power priced at 5.85 cents per kilowatt-hour. Records were subsequently set in Peru and Mexico before Dubai reclaimed its mantel as purveyor of the world’s cheapest solar power.

“This bid tells us that some bidders are willing to risk a lot for the prestige of being the cheapest solar developer,” said Jenny Chase, head of solar analysis at BNEF. “Nobody knows how it’s meant to work.”

Plunging costs along with the bankruptcy for the biggest developer, SunEdison Inc., has spurred questions about whether the cheapest projects will ever be profitable. The collapse of the world’s largest renewable energy company made some banks wary of financing projects. The winners of recent auctions in Mexico, Peru and Chile were diversified power companies like Enel SpA, which perhaps prioritized market share over profit maximization.

Dubai’s utility didn’t identify the developers behind the record-low bid it received. MEED reported that it’s a group including Masdar Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co., Spain’s Fotowatio Renewable Ventures BV and Saudi Arabia’s Abdul Latif Jameel. Among those companies, only Masdar could be reached for comment, and it didn’t confirm that it was the low bidder.

“A consortium led by Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company, was one of a number of bidders to have submitted a proposal for the third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park,” a spokesperson for the consortium said in an e-mailed statement. “This is an active bid, with the technical and commercial proposals being evaluated by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.”

Tender Process
The shift to tenders from feed-in tariffs for clean energy globally has helped governments rein in support for renewables while prodding companies to deliver lower costs. That’s shifted pressure away from government budgets and toward developers, which must strike a balance between a winning new contracts and maintaining profits.

Enel Green Power’s Chief Executive Officer Francesco Venturini, whose company bid 3.5 cents a kilowatt hour in Mexico last month, said in an interview that his projects will still make decent money even with record-low prices for electricity.
Enel’s Strategy

“There is no value in winning without margin attached,” Venturini said in an interview in Brussels last month. “I have two investment committees and two boards of directors I need to present my projects to and they want to see the money attached to it. So trust me, there is margin.”
Dubai’s state utility said it received five bids for the 800-megawatt project, which will be the third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum solar park. It has not awarded the building permits yet. The facility is planned to have a capacity of 5 gigawatts by 2030.

“This price is borderline in terms of viability, but it’s an outlier project,” said Josefin Berg, solar analyst at IHS Inc., an industry researcher. “The size of the installation makes it easier to get good conditions on their procurement. It shouldn’t be used as a benchmark.”
The 2.99 cents bid for the solar project is a third lower than the electricity that will be generated by a coal plant commissioned by Dubai in October. That facility, set to begin generating in 2020, is expected to feed power onto the grid at 4.501 cents per kilowatt-hour under a 25-year power purchase agreement.

attacker321:
You don't understand, this is not about whether Yorubas voted for GEJ in 2011. You guys claim to be wise but you ought to have known that 2015 was a great chance to make a bold statement to the core north, that they don't own this country but you failed.

This one is not sensible and should be ignored.

You guys are not that bright. They withdrew them from the charges so the case against Omokore and Co can proceed. Deziani and Kola are regarded as "at large" and they have pending cases within their jurisdictions abroad. Smart move.

Achuwa1:
Buhari! Buhari!! Buhari!!!,hw many times did i call you ? u see ur life .
Things like diss never happened unger Gej regime.
pls ss/se soldiers,police & co should mind the way they take directives from their ogas in situations like dis coz they would want to perch u against ur brothers the freedom fighters so be wise.
This is what happens when a country has being run aground by Buhari coz there will definitely be break down of law & order.

I'm sure you also blame Buhari when you can't perform in bed.

The country’s oil and gas business may be heading for good times as Blooming Faith Petroleum Ltd., a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Blooming Faith Global Holdings Ltd, would partner the Federal Government to build and operate a refinery with an installed capacity of 200,000 barrels per day, in Akwa Ibom State.

In a statement made available to Vanguard, a senior management team of the organisation, which is currently in Nigeria to kick-start procedure for the project, confirmed a successful engagement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. Speaking on the development, Chairman of the company, Dr. Robert Yeung, explained that the company’s interest in building a refinery was influenced by the discovery that Nigeria, a major oil producing nation, relied on importation of refined products to attend to its domestic needs.

His words: “We became immediately interested for two basic reasons: first, as a business entity, we have identified a vacuum to be filled, because the government of Nigeria will not import what it can access locally.
“Second, our confidence in Nigeria as an investors’ destination of choice in Africa: we know that we can never get it wrong with a country of almost 200 million people.”

That looks like a glorified secondary school. Come to OAU to experience architectural masterpieces.

This is a microcosm of Biafra. It's going to be a banana republic.

Nkem4040:
Put words in my mouth nah. Since you try to judge me, today I go finish you...you hypocrite. Full of hate? Actually yorubas are ones full of hate. Yorubas have no conscience at all otherwise they will be out there protesting that is not fair that Lagos ports and airport are the major destinations for shipping and flying despite SE and SS/oil companies accounting for nearly 80% of patronage. Despite Port Harcourt, Calabar and Warri ports being closer to the ocean than Lagos ports. Yorubas and including yourself are aware of this wickedness but keep quiet because you people have no conscience, just outright wicked and hateful. I'm sure you were in church or mosque today...hypocrites.

Don't ever mention SE when you type anything oil related. Final warning.

Attachment by force. Shame no catch you?

kcnwaigbo:
Lolz where will the oil and gas that will be refined come from? Don't make me laugh too hard please.Shebi Kadunna has a refinery? Is it still getting supplies now?

Ode.

Oil is a commodity traded internationally. He can get oil imported from Saudi, Iran, Angola, Brazil, North Sea or Russia sef.

Why can't the mods delete all the useless articles from Biafratimes, igberenews, dstvnews and all forms of secessionist propaganda.

A new militant group that operates on the platform of Niger Delta Red Squad, NDRS, has threatened to attack some government and oil facilities in Imo State. The fresh threat is coming barely few days after it hit a facility operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company in Awarra, Ohaji/Egbema local council area of Imo State.

Militants vs Buhari Confirming the initial attack on the Shell facility, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, of the State Police Command, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a deputy superintendent of police, DSP, said that they received the report of the incident but could not immediately say the extent of damage done by the attack. “We got the report of the destruction of oil installation of oil facility in Awarra but we are yet to know the extent of the damage”, the PPRO said.

The current threat, which was signed by one General Don Wannie, the group fumed that oil producing communities have nothing to show for the many years of oil exploration and exploitation. THE GROUP’S ANGER “Oil companies started operation in our community since 1957, but up till date, we have nothing to show as benefit.

For Imo State Government, we will make sure you make no further gains from Ohaji/Egbema. “Since God’s creation, neither Imo State Government nor oil companies have remembered us. We have been neglected and abandoned. No electricity. No tarred roads. No drinking water. No hospital. No youth employment or empowerment. We shall destroy everything in Imo State that was built with our oil money”.

While claiming responsibility for blowing up two Shell pipelines, the group also promised to inflict maximum damage to oil facilities, if Ohaji/Egbema communities are not given due benefits from their oil resource. The group equally warned Waltersmith Petroleum Oil Limited of an imminent attack on the company’s facilities. “We will let them know that the security which they claim to have is insufficient. So, they should go and hire more because we are coming to launch attack on them any moment from now”, the group said.

While asking the Federal Government to immediately redress the ugly situation and not making the mistake of taking them for granted, the group however, warned that if the federal and state governments think they are joking, “we will shock them.”

Learn to mind your business.

You are an idiot. No word simply describes you better.

Please where is the skateboard or wheelbarrow to move the refineries? We need them assp.

Clowns.

What should Nigeria learn from this? There is a real cost to tribalism and xenophobia. The world is a global village with no permanent indigenes or associations and it has always been this way.

Most of our forefathers came from the plains of northern sahara as evidenced in our DNA but yet we get territorial and primitive like animals in a pack fighting for food. There is a reason God made us advanced beings. Let's use that God given gift to think like advanced humans. Our own divisions usually comes with loss of lives and property as opposed to loss of paper money.
