The importation needs to continue so that Dangote oil will not be like Dangote cement that is more expensive than imported cement. Nigerians expected Dangote oil should be less expensive than imported oil like Diesel, Nigerians will prefer the cheaper one but rely solely on Dangote is dangerous as there won't be price competition.

I suspect Dangote is behind the write-up!

Chinkoalhaji34:
The operators should stop crying and start refining locally. This is a good opportunity for them to showcase their ability to refine locally instead of depending solely on importation.

Na wa oo!

Augustine2244:
Lol! Renewed Shege is really on in full force.By the time BAT is done with Nigeria,Haiti would be a paradise compared to her.
No sensible and responsible government would like to be still wasting resources importing petrol while refineries are there.
And the useless government has been promising to fully activate the existing refineries to full operation capacity,yet nothing tangible has occurred with those refineries. But even if they go eventually into full refining capacity, the useless government would still find a loophole to be wasting funds on importation of fuel.

Nonsense! Let the market decide these things. Government tampering is how we got to where we are today. If the refineries are doing so well, the market would reveal this.

saintopus:
■ But in 2012, the likes of Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Osibanjo etc protested against fuel subsidy removal. Fuel was to be increased to N146 par litre, yet these men of God protested with their members. They've suddenly gone mute when the dolar is N1550 and fuel is N850 per litre. In 2012 the dolar was N216, but today N1550 yet they don't want to protest? Hypocrisy!!!!

Something tells me those same guys are not going to protest at all.

GreyWolf01:
Who are these clowns? Who registered this association? Aren't these the fake bishops Tinubu hired to campaign for him? What will it take Tinubu to provide good governance? Or is he just as clueless and senile as people say? Will people protest if governance is beneficial?

Or he has been conveniently bribed by the government to tell the people not to protest.

Moderator101:
National President, Congress of Nigerian Gospel Ministers Incorporated, His Eminence, Most Rev Prof. Philip Okpanwa Akam, has stated that his members across the 36 states in Nigeria will not be joining the planned nationwide protest against hunger and economic hardship, set to commence August 2024.
Prof Akam described members of his Congress as genuine Ministers of God who are peaceful and law-abiding citizens, asserting that they have no adequate reasons to participate in the organized protest against the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He won't be part of the protest but he will ask his gullible followers to support him with money gotten from their blood and sweat. Listen, it is likely your pastor has been bribed by politicians to say these things to you. If you have any brain cells still active, what that means is that the gods worshipped by your gods of men are money and greed.

■ You are truly a junkee

Stop spreading race-colored language pretending a whole tribe, who don't know you from a can of paint, are equally racist like you!

adabaraabdul:
■ Governemnt should do the needful. You spoke that the same government supported Dangote and now the change in Government are seeing alot of scam. The Government should have revamped our existing refineries. I'd rather place more blames on the government and little on Dangote. If Government have left us with only Dangote refinery to deal with, then let it be so. when dangote diesel got to the market, the prices of diesel reduced. Counting the positives.

Your government invested $13 billion in Dangote Refinery, money that has yet to be traced to date. Earlier this year, your same government claimed it had to shore up the naira to provide an advantage for the same refinery. Pretending it is not one of the refineries your same government invested heavily in is simply drowning oneself in more delusion possibly with future hope of delirium.

Yusufisraelj:
■ Have respect for numbers please. First of 650,000 barrels is about 103 million litres of crude, when operating at full capacity. Nigeria's petroleum needs is about 66 million litres per day, so where's the lie here?
■ Secondly, NUPRC gives license for refineries or tank farms to operate in Nigeria, no such platform operates without licenses from this government agency and by the way the requirements are very stringent. How can you say Dangote operates without a license, that's preposterous.
■ You don't seem to understand why Nigeria is where it is, to give you a perspective, why has all the four government refineries not been working after being built to running capacity? Why was the pipelines to warri refinery blown by hoodlums after completing when buhari borrowed money to fix a portion of the refinery for refining? Why was Ajaokuta steel plant not completed after reaching 98% completion? Why do we keep importing crude? Who benefits from making the country fail deliberately and why do they keep at it?

Storyland! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) is the agency that announced that Dangote is not license to operate.

NMDPRA stands for Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority. It is a government organization in Nigeria that regulates and monitors the technical and commercial aspects of the petroleum industry's midstream and downstream operations. The NMDPRA's goals include:
● Setting standards and regulations - The NMDPRA establishes and enforces standards for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of plants, installations, and facilities used in petroleum operations.
● Ensuring supply security- The NMDPRA works to ensure a secure supply of petroleum products and natural gas.
● Promoting competition -The NMDPRA encourages competition and private sector participation in the petroleum industry.
● Protecting customers - The NMDPRA establishes customer protection measures.
● Regulating health and environment- The NMDPRA regulates and monitors health and environmental measures, establishes environmental standards, and outlines the duties of licensees. The NMDPRA also imposes sanctions and penalties for noncompliance

3. Dangote Refinery is not Nigeria, but just a company in Nigeria that is subject to Nigerian laws and regulations.

kaltonga:
■ You are the actual mental asylum pathetic chimp here.. You are long dead and will remain so..
■ Now you are asking who made me a spokes person for the Igbos cos you are not comfortable with the truth.. The other fellows calling for protest speaking on a solo notation you didn't ask them who made them spokes person for the Igbos but easily concluded ihe represents Ig os and wants to burn down your Lagos which you leave your poorly developed state to cliam.
■ You Yorubas are so slimy and too dangerous a human to have around, worst than an y crawling creature that calls itself a serpent... You mistaken hypocrisy for intelligence .

There is nothing wrong with knowing one is mentally ill and should probably check into an asylum or ward instead. I used to be that person and checked out of even Nairaland for many years myself. What is wrong is not even realizing one has a problem and needs help for it that is the problem. There is a Yoruba adage which says something like the day a madman realizes his madness, he is cured. You, and so many like you, have yet to realize your very madness, and that is why you lot go around spewing your madness(jargon) in arrogance all over the place.

2. Nobody ever made you a spokesman for the Igbos. the most you can do is speak for yourself. When you come on here pretending you speak for all Igbos, all you do is spew hate and pretend that your hate belongs to of an entire tribe that knows absolutely nothing of you and your existence. Yes, if you died today, the entirety of the Igbo nation would move on not knowing of it. So why come on here to cast a shadow on their integrity and mentality?

3. I was right after all. You are just another Nigerian racist and most likely a mentally deluded individual who happens to have become racist as a result of the many delusions you have been subjected to. Na una full the whole place, no worry!

Mynd44, fergie001 Pay attention!

Nonsense!

From Governor, to 3 terms in the Senate, then Minister and now SGF while his wife is a serving HoR member, but somehow can't pay his staff 100k. E no go better for Akume, him friend Thiefninbuu and anything APC.

Promoted after the incompetence at the state level. This practice is ludicrous!

Orabi:
The North Central Citizens Council (NCCC), has condemned in strong terms what they described as ‘reckless agitation’ by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and her counterpart Trade Union Congress (TUC) for demanding an increase in the minimum wage of Nigerian workers.

Make NCCC turn right enter gutter abeg!

Any thing less than $167 or Naira 250,000 is a slap on the face of Nigerians.

Vice-President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu has approved that 20 percent of palliatives, in terms of food intervention, be routed through religious and traditional institutions.

President Bola Tinubu has approved that 20 percent of palliative in terms of food intervention be routed through religious and traditional institutions, Vice-President Kashim Shettima has disclosed.

Shettima made this known while delivering the keynote address at a High-Level Dialogue of Faith Leaders on Nutrition in Nigeria, held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.

“The Imam of Bayero University (BUK) mentioned the exclusion of the traditional and religious leaders in the distribution of palliatives.

” The President has approved that 20 percent of the palliative in terms of food intervention be routed through our religious organizations and the traditional institutions.

“The Tsangaya schools, the mission schools will be specially targeted for such intervention,” Shettima said.

The Vice-President said that government was working out logistics through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture to ensure smooth implementation of the intervention programme.

“This intervention will be anchored in the office of the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Sen. Abubakar Bagudu, and he is going to anchor the programme.

“We are going to provide the overall supervision towards the implementation of the programme.

“Also 20 per cent of the funds for the School Feeding Programme is going to be channeled through the office of the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning to the religious bodies.”

Shettima stated that the government had already commenced engagement and working out modalities for the intervention to ensure a very transparent disbursement, taken into cognisance of all tendencies in our system.

He added that the intervention would include Tsangaya and Mission schools. (NAN)

OLAADEGBU:
2 Peter 3:15-16 says what Apostle Peter knows of Paul's epistles. I hope this will stop you in your track to self implosion.

LOL.... So, we are now attempting to pitch Peter & Paul Versus the Everlasting declarations made by Jesus Christ and God of Israel Himself? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To indulge you, the commandment given by Jesus Christ regarding the validation of a truth brought forth by witnesses is that for each claim made, there has to be 2 or 3 witnesses to confirm it as a Truth of God. Peter never did bear witness to any particular claim made by Paul. Rather, Peter made a general stat even as you equally suggest that Paul turned ANTICHRIST fails when the decree put forth by Jesus Christ is considered.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Religion is indeed a terrible thing!

naijapikin2:
■ You are in no position to tell a believer what is good for him. You are! Nothing but a demented demonic satanic devilish evil infested dingbat. This is not an insult.. its a statement of fact. All your cahoots will never bring down ■ God's anointed like oyedepos adeboyes, enenches and others. Keep pushing the kingdom of darkness, you can't stop the church. Satanic slowpoke.

But it is OK for you to tell Abel Damina what is good for him? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. The God of your religion —probably a local Nigerian deity at that — anointed the Oyedepos, Adeboyes, Enenches, and others but left out Damina and all others like him whom you don't like even though they too spew forth the same formulated ideas like the others? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You Christians and your selective anointings which you pour wherever it pleases your lot. Na wa oO!

naijapikin2:
Why is the man so stupid nowadays. He just spits gibberish. He needs our prayers sha. He does

He spits just the same kind of gibberish your other gods of men like the oyedepos, Adeboyes, oyakilomes, Kumuyis, Popes, GBs, etc. all do. So why attack him when he is fits in right well in Christianity with it's over 47,000 other denominations, all brandishing their particular interpretation as the right idea of God even though none of it in fact fits well into Scriptural context?

Oh. Neat! I was wondering about where you get to purchase all of that in Nigeria.

Azazyel:
■ Guy if you hate him abeg dey your lane. Don't drag other people into blind hatred. Use your energy to make Nigeria work instead of trying to bring people down

I don't hate anybody... don't have time or energy for that. I instead hate the filthy lies told using the name of God and Jesus Christ which they use to deceive and delude people away from the Truth of God. Jesus Christ is the one who condemned those who do so as liars — false prophets and false teachers— deceivers, scammers, etc. They bring themselves down by telling those lies. I simply point them out. So, point those accusing fingers of yours in the right direction!

radautoworks:
I come and go. Live in both countries. Right now, Nigeria.

How many of the cooking images are from when you are in Nigeria?

radautoworks:
Dinner is Jamaican curry chicken with rice & peas and steamed broccoli.

So you don't live in Nigeria?

haibe:
∆ I believe by our own will, we choose our destiny, what i don't know is if God knows our destiny, why then do we have to live this life again since God already knows our fate from the beginning(who goes to hell and who makes heaven).. I have also been pondering on this.

God knows the end from the beginning, so yes, it is quite feasible that He knows your end before it is. But do you? That is probably why you need to live it so you come to a knowing and acceptance of it for your own self.

Pastor D.K Olukoya is one MAN of GOD that I have NEVER doubted his anointing.
I have no doubt that he was called by God. I love and respect you Sir and mummy Folashade.
It's not that I don't have other preachers that I love, but you see Olukoya, my spirit totally accepts him and his lovely wife without one iota of doubt.
Yes, for the average Christian, his prayers are too aggressive but you will only understand the importance and weight of these prayers when you are tired of being tired and at your wits end!

The man is a false teacher and a false prophet, no better than the Pope, the oyedepos, the GBs, the Adeboyes, the Kumuyis, the Kenneth Copelands, the Hagees, etc. They know and understand their particular delusions more than they do the Word of God, and this is evidenced by the lies that are their every doctrines and traditions. ..

olabowale:
■ Ogbeni oja, when Timothy called people infidel(s), thats inspiration from God?
■ When Jesus called people dogs, thats inspiration, too? When Jesus said he was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, that was inspiration. No? Now when all of a sudden he is said to be the one to have been sent to the whole world, tat is inspiration, too. No? Now which is the true inspiration between being sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and all of a sudden by his after leaving the earth followers to all mankind? Or was one a temporary inspiration or what? I think your answer will surprise everyone; Temporary, one inspiration is fighting another on the same subject? I wanna read this for the ages.
■ And I ignored the three gods turning to one God, or the prophet turning to god, or the former comforter who is a human being promising another comforter, who miraculously became a voiceless, formless, unable to teach, instruct, remind, and elevate correctly the image of Jesus ■ and his mother without over doing it like the Christians; catholic calls Marry mother of god and venerates her (~Lady~, sorry), and almost all christians take Jesus as god or son of god or both, but always deep themselves in his blood ($Osisi, sorry), as if the blood should not be stale or dried up by now.

1. The letters of Paul do not constitute Scripture in my opinion given that Paul was not sent by the God of Israel, and also commanded them to write, by the way.

2. Actually, the answer to all that is instead Yes! Every word that Jesus Christ spoke were the words out of God's own mouth.

3. Catholicism is religion, not Jesus Christ who instead disavowed religious leaders along with their doctrines and traditions.

I asked this question because the book of isaiah didn't exist during the time of Moses and the book of maatew didn't exist at the time of Isaiah, this means that scripture writing took many years .how are we sure it has ended?

We know it has ended because according to Jesus Christ, the last prophet sent by the God of Israel, the same God who sent Moses, and Isaiah, and eventually Jesus Christ.

pongwa:
in my opinion, Karma is not really a religious thing as put forward by many. There are some natural things such as planting a seed in the ground and it springing forth

The way I see it, even natural laws fail as karmic laws.

The term karma (Sanskrit: Pali: kamma) refers to both the executed 'deed, work, action, act' and the 'object, intent'.

What happens if I plant the seed in the ground and nothing springs forth due to unforeseen circumstances? What is the karmic conclusion in that instance? Was my action/deed/work/act wrong or bad? If you unknowingly plant a bad seed or you plant a seed and snow falls the whole of that week leading to the seed decaying in the soil and eventually failing to germinate, is it your fault that things turned out the way they did? ...does that mean your karma is bad? ...

A qusetion for" Bible beleiving" christians. I will like to know when a piece of writing qualifies to be scripture ,also when did the Bible say the writring of scriptures will end.

Generally, I like to believe that for a writing to qualify as Scripture, it must contain at least a message directly revealed by the God of Isreal through one of His own — a prophet. Jesus Christ was the Last prophet sent from God of Israel.

karma is real .do money ritual and die

Many who were suspected to have done money rituals even back when I was a kid, are still alive today. So, why did your money ritual karma not kill them?
