strong analysis is obviously alien to you. A thousand pages of "facts" is useless without proper interpretation.

The only thing your post attempted to "prove" is that nothing was ever wrong with the refineries and all the presidents we had starting from OBJ were simply lying and it was just the "body language" of Buhari that makes the refineries started working without lifting a finger or spending a dime.

We can also say that nothing was ever wrong with power, roads and education , the past leaders were simply lying and Nigerians are blind to reality and in due time these sectors will also start working because of Buhari's body language with no money spent.

Nigeria must be the first perfect country in the universe where everything works perfectly automatically as a result of someone's "body language".

Other countries need to borrow Buhari from Nigeria so that their country will become perfect automatically.

It is instructive that all your "research" were filled with "planned to" nothing like "contract signed", "work begins" , that says a lot about your selective 'fact finding".

You surely don't need the cheap internet to determine the difference between black and white , do you ?

Bros, please ignore those people who are allergic to the truth. Some of those claiming that GEJ voted funds for the 2014 TAM exercise, obviously and conveniently forgot to inform the public, that eventually the money was NOT SPENT or released for the exercise, because the original manufacturers of the refinery refused to carry out the job, after extensive negotiations had been concluded!

Security Tracker Keeps Away Original Builder Of PH Refinery by Weneso Orogun — Jul 14, 2014 3:45 am |

Fresh facts have emerged on how the Japanese firm that built the Port Harcourt refinery and Petrochemical Company relied on evidence aggregated by a security tracking device to reject a few weeks ago, the invitation by the federal government to conduct a comprehensive turnaround maintenance (TAM) last undertaken in 1992.

The device called Nigerian Security Tracker (NST) is said to be “a project of the United States Council on Foreign Relations and maps violence in Nigeria that is motivated by political, economic, or social grievances.

“The militant Islamist movement Boko Haram is active in northern Nigeria. Violence among ethnic groups, farmers, and herdsmen sometimes acquires religious overtones. A new generation of Niger Delta militants threatens war against the state. Government soldiers kill civilians indiscriminately. Police are notorious for extrajudicial murder.”

Speaking at the weekend in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, at a workshop for journalists organised by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), managing director of the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC), Dr Bafred Audu Enjugu, explained the Japanese firm refused to come over to the Niger Delta for fear of security concerns.

“The commercial negotiation with the original builder of the PHRC was very long and the conclusions remain unacceptable to the NNPC,” Enjugu stated, adding that the labour costs with foreign patronage were prohibitive and outran all budget provisions by the NNPC.

Enjugu, however, told his audience that NNPC had resolved to give Nigerian engineers a chance to exercise their skills by embarking on selective maintenance of portions of the refinery at a time working with local expertise without shutting down the entire refinery as was the practice during TAM in the past. He assured that the PHRC was currently operating at a about 50 per cent of name-plate capacity. http://leadership.ng/business/377718/security-tracker-keeps-away-original-builder-ph-refinery

OREMUSSANCTUS:
The only yoruba and wealthy man I respect so much is Dr. Mike Adenuga, he is calm and full of wisdom and also not a political olosho.
Adenuga behaves like a niger deltan cum biafran man, he has our blood.

Adenuga??! "niger deltan cum biafran man, he has our blood??"

Why are you people laying claims to a Yoruba man?

Happiness87:
despite everything i taught you, you are still failing, Gej should have resumed TAM as soon as Yaradua died so that you will be happy.

lets do revision.
TAM project was captured in 2013 budget.

in fact, go and read up the last note. if you fail my exams, then I will know that your foolishness is hereditary, because I taught your bigot father, he failed, i taught your bigot mother she failed, now am teaching you, you are still failing.

i wonder what your children will be like, now that it is obvious, that your foolishness is hereditary.

bigots who feel that they are better than others, filled with irrational ego, whose lives are based upon lies and propaganda based on tribalism, Even satan will salute you because you guys have lied more than him

pls are you liar Mohammed's cousin?
is Obj not celebrated by ApC today??

Sista, abeg stop arguing with clueless folks that are determined to turn a blind eye to the truth! Everyone keeps shouting that the last administration wanted to sell off the refineries, without tracing the history of the maintenance work done on each of the refineries or total amount spent, and forgetting that sale of the refineries was actually started under OBJ's regime, not GEJ.

As a human being, after pumping huge money into fixing a piece of machinery or equipment, would you not consider selling it off, if it keeps breaking down at will, and the cost of repairs is beginning to exceed the value you are getting from such an equipment, especially if that equipment has stopped delivering the value it was expected to offer, in the first place?

Please read this excerpt and the full story here: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/let-s-reason-together-on-refineries/111148/

Let’s Reason Together on Refineries: Published ThisDay Newspapers 11 Mar 2012:

The third mistake—and that happens to be the focus of my thoughts today—is the refineries. Obasanjo had sold the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries to BlueStar oil consortium owned by Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola for $721 million. The labour unions kicked against it and threatened to go on strike—obviously on the prompting of some insiders who were benefiting from the hopeless turn around maintenance (TAM) contracts. The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) went to Yar’Adua and whispered into his ears that if he gave them a few billions of naira, the refineries would start working at optimal capacity by January 2008. Quickly, Yar’Adua handed the loot to NNPC. Five years later, with more billions pumped into those refineries, we are still waiting for them to produce at “optimal capacity”.

Chai! It is sad when people start comparing oranges with apples. All cars are not the same, and even when a car breaks down, the length of time taken to complete the repairs depends on the type of faults or damage done to the car and the ability to source spare parts quickly and effectively. The same applies to refineries.

According to a report, the TAM for Kaduna Refinery was done in 3 months. What was the scope of repairs and maintenance carried out? It was done following repairs on just ONE of one of the plant’s processing units, not ALL.

Can the scope of repairs carried out during the TAM done at Kaduna, be compared to the scope of works done during the TAM conducted at the larger Warri (WRPC)?? Or the TAM works done at PHRC?

All the refineries were built by different companies and all their components/equipment are different from one another. Some of the parts used in building these refineries are no longer available anymore! A number of them are fabricated to order! So how anyone can compare the TAM done on a foreign refinery whose parts, fluid catalytic units, etc are totally different from a refinery constructed in Nigeria in 1978, baffles me!

Has anyone compared the scope of works done during the TAM on both refineries? Or provided details regarding the specific nature of the scheduled TAM maintenance works in each of the refineries

The 150,000 bpd Port Harcourt refinery was built in 1989. TAM operations were carried out in 1991, 1994, 2000.

The Kalu Idika Kalu Committee had last May during a visit to the Port Harcourt refinery found the Federal Government four boilers non-operational. Two out of the four power plants were down.

Besides, there was evidence of poor maintenance with serious corrosion of major key units just as morale of the workers was low and management was dysfunctional with little or no financial authority.

The last major TAM was in 2000. It will have to be modernised and upgraded.

Ditto for the 110,000 bpd Kaduna refinery, which had its last TAM in 2008. The one before that was in 1998 after a major fire. Production is at 25% of installed capacity. The 125000 bpd Warri refinery is also operating at 25% installed capacity. TAM operations were carried out in 1994, 2000 and 2008.

ABC of TAM

Refinery turnaround maintenance (TAM) is a planned partial or full shutdown of one or more units of a refinery in order to perform inspection, repair, and maintenance of equipment to ensure safe and efficient operations. Material and obsolete equipment are replaced. A refinery TAM takes place every three-five years and requires about one-two years of advance planning. The actual TAM operations take about 6-12 weeks.

A well implemented TAM programme reduces unplanned disruption of production activities in a refinery and helps maintain operations at more than 80% capacity utilisation. http://thenationonlineng.net/the-1-6bn-refinery-turnaround-mess/

Till now, no one has provided adequate information on what constitutes the exact scope of works done under a TAM that spans 6-12 weeks. Yet, someone keeps flagging this timeline, as if it is sacrosanct. If corrosion is involved, then that TAM can certainly not be completed in 6-12 weeks.

Here is an excerpt on an interview with the MD of PHRC, which throws further light on this subject of TAM.

Refinery Business In Nigeria Is Profitable

Interview with Dr. Bafred Enjugu is the Managing Director of Port Harcourt Refinery Company Limited, a refining unit of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in February 23, 2015

"...there had been procurement of items preparatory, as a pre-requisite for prosecution of turn-around maintenance. That has been on and the PHRC has attained 12.5 percent on that route. I will provide details later.

But clearly, the NNPC management and government were of the best intentions for this country when they said, “look, lets engage the original builders of the refineries for the turn-around maintenance” because they are coming with two things. They are coming with skill, and they are coming with reputation. But they all declined.

They all decline and instead elected to let it out to their technical partners. In their places, we had Italian companies which have good reputation, no doubt about that. But the guys we had, Technimont who were elected by our original partner the JGC of Japan, deliberately priced themselves out of the business. They didn’t just do that in terms of cost, they refused to grant any guarantee in terms of performance. They objected to commit to any undertaking in delivery of the project. So, where does that leave you? We say popularly OYO. It leaves you on your own....

.... Ques: From what we are told, the proposed TAM contract which has failed is supposed to come with technology upgrade given that the refinery is old and technology has improved. Now that you have embarked on self help, how would you drive upgrade?

Ans: As I said earlier, technology drives efficiency and efficiency drives commerciality of refinery operations. Both technology and efficiency have become very compelling in every refinery operations because profit margin is very thin. So that takes us to the heart of it.

There are upgrades in several ways. Let us park the human ones which remind us that we have not kept pace. But there are upgrades by default. If you want a particular equipment, the way it was old to you in 1987 is not the way it is going to be sold to you now 2015. If you want exactly the piece of equipment you bought in 1987 you cannot find it anymore. They show you the new model.......

.... It is always easier to be in touch with your market. Midyear 2104 in Kaduna, we needed equilibrium catalyst to start up our FCC. Our traditional suppliers of the e-catalysts are a company in Houston. The process helps us trap light products before they escape, so we have companies that survive with providing solutions to the process.

Our traditional suppliers in Houston said they could do it for us earliest in 42 days. Our facility was ready and we didn’t know where to run to. From 2005 to 2007 Chinese CNPC expressed an interest to buy over Kaduna Refinery. Actually they didn’t because it was sold to another company for a brief period during the transition.

So what we didn’t know was that CNPC has a small 20, 000 barrels per day refinery in Niger, That small refinery is just six hours by road from Kaduna. So we went to them and got e-catalyst to start out plant in record time. So, to connect it to what we were discussing, information sharing is very important in the business. You need to go out and look around you. And in doing that we realized that they have a bigger refinery in Chad which could supply us.

But before then, our consultants had always taken us to Houston to establish that and that. So, it is good to look around and similarly it is good to find markets for your products. So we have to be more aggressive in the market and in our business in order to survive. That i admit I have not seen for a while. Similarly, we need to let the world know a bit more of our business. I think there is a lot of misconception based on lack of information." http://theunion.com.ng/energy/refinery-business-in-nigeria-is-profitable/

I see. So any and every person who served under Jonathan must compulsorily steal something or must be corrupt. The only people that can do or get it right cos they are some sainty than any human is anyone from APC.

I will keep it in mind so when I need to do an audit of my business, an APC personnel will do.


APC, feel sorry for you.

Don't mind them... we have seen how saintly some of them are (e.g. Tinubu, whose middle name is 'avarice.')

Mynd44:
True but can we say the last administration fixed them?


Now that will be the question. Show evidence that the GEJ government fixed the refineries, show us the contracts awarded to fix the refineries, how much was paid and when the contracts were made.

Remember they said the refineries wont work until first quarter 2016. This is not even last quarter 2015.

Personally, I doubt anything major was wrong with the refineries in the first place with these news. It was just more profitable to some people to import fuel than for the refineries to be functioning

Before I respond to your question, we need to go back into history. Here is an excerpt from Simon Kolawole's article in ThisDay, during his last interview with Dangote who wants to build a 450,000 barrel refinery in Nigeria.

The Refinery We’ve Been Praying for

by Simon Kolawole: ThisDay Newspapers

In 1965, General Yakubu Gowon built Nigeria’s first refinery called “Port Harcourt I” with a capacity of 60,000bpd.

Ten years later, Gowon awarded the contract for the construction of Warri Refinery with a capacity of 100,000bpd. It was completed and inaugurated by General Olusegun Obasanjo in 1978.

Obasanjo himself started the 100,000bpd Kaduna Refinery, which was inaugurated by President Shehu Shagari in 1980.

“Port Harcourt II”, also started by Obasanjo, was completed by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida in 1989 to process 150,000bpd. Since then, we have stopped building refineries - even though our consumption has been doubling and tripling. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-refinery-we-ve-been-praying-for/159622/

Most of these refineries are old, obsolete units running on outdated technology. They have exceeded their lifespan. Hence the frequent breakdowns. So it is more than a question of just supplying crude to the refineries, to make them function. Therefore, it is incorrect to say "Personally, I doubt anything major was wrong with the refineries in the first place with these news, " when it has not been proven that there was no need for the refineries to be fixed, or no need for them to undergo Turn Around Maintenance (TAM).

Each one needs a major overhaul, in order to run efficiently. Port-harcourt refinery is the only one to start production at this period in time. The others are yet to come on stream. Even the NNPC GMD has said the local engineers started the TAM on all the refineries in Oct 2014 and it would take 18 months for this activity to be completed in most of the refineries, not just one. So counting 18 months from Oct 2014, means the TAM for all the refineries, would certainly end in 2016. Read all about it here: http://www.nigerianeye.com/2015/06/breaking-port-harcourt-refinery-to.html

A phased rehabilitation exercise allowed indigenous contractors to supply the refinery with spare parts and equipment that require replacement. Only PHC I refinery & part of Warri refinery is now on stream, and everyone is shouting that the 2016 date proposed by GEJ was a lie. Are all the other remaining refineries now working at full capacity? Na wah, oh!

I thought we would see actuals not this, anyone could cast his leg with pop or get someone to roll him on a strecher. There's no need for all this if u are clean no one will prosecute u if otherwise may legions of EFCC officials pick u up. Amen.

BOUNTYDOG:
Even if there is one reason for the death to be concealed, this is absolutely the main reason.the groom has to wed with the presence of the staff as a prince or the bride wants all D royal rites paid to her for marrying a prince.
Not everyone even if you have royal ties is entitled to such respect.
He is the only prince represented with such title as the father was present in others.
Vanity upon vanity all is vanity
These I've learnt from the goodnews and expeerience in reality,
Just a slim line for the prince that wedded as a king to be wedded as an ex prnce,is there any much royalties paid to an ex prince?
Life is vanity fyn prince

Erm....from what I heard of Yoruba culture and most indigenous cultures in Africa, there is nothing like ex-prince, oh!
Once a prince, always a prince. "Prince" means you are the son of a king, or that your father once ruled a town, village or city. Even if that father is long dead!

I have seen the staff of office at burials of royal princes and princess who died at an old age but hailed from a royal household, even though their parents were long dead.

Oh, I see...

It was partially available for sale, before??

Chai!!!

So Oyibo man too dey do 419??!!

Bros, please rework your pricing structure in order to get customers quickly for this car. The quoted figure is on the high side for a Naija used vehicle. Hyundai's resale value isn't as great as Toyota or Honda. Just my 2 cents.

Until you post a price as well as the location of the car, most people would not be interested. But if they see the price and it falls within their budget or close to it, then they would definitely call you.

No price?

levelszik:
Let us know the amount u do per seat for leather and fabrics.

Bro, I still believe in communications... everybody even a madman listens to somebody... there's always something or someone to positively blackmail them with...there's always a way to get back together...there's always a solution if you look hard enough...Most so-called "irreconcilable" differences is a fight of ego and pompous personalities...No matter, how you paint it, it is only in mathematics class that minus minus can give you a plus...Someone pays the price in any peaceful relationship or society...When nobody wanna pay the price and everybody believes they are right, then you start seeing all these media noise and advert for sympathy...Stoop down low to pick your eggs and graciously incubate them notwithstanding the pain...thanks

Hahaha.... .... it is people like you that misled that dead banker whose husband beat her to death and stabbed her. Tell me, what kind of communication do you want to have with a mad man? Share the experience with us, since you seem to have so much knowledge in this area.

Isn't it someone who wants to stand and listen to you, that you can communicate with?

Bros, go and get married first before yarning all these stories. Your view would change sharp, sharp once you are faced with domestic violence on a continuous basis.

When you are being battered black & blue, tell me how you can sit to incubate any egg?

I feel sorry for anyone who is in an abusive marriage that listens to your advice. Once a person's life is threatened in an abusive marriage, I beg pack your bags and go. No marriage in which a person is turned into a punching bag, is worth dying for!

Alternatively, ask the owner of the car to confirm it.

Whynotthetruth:
Though I am single still...but I believe in indissolubility of marriage and efficient communication in marriage... Sorry nothing justifies divorce so far to me...especially given that avenue for communication still exist in our society... thanks

Now you have confirmed my suspicions.... you are still single. Oya, go and get married first. Then after 3 years of marriage, come back & revisit this thread and update us on your findings! Am sure your African mentality would have undergone a major overhaul!

Oh, you think the women (or men) who have been battered black & blue by their spouses did not try communication, initially?

Communication is a 2-way street. Can you communicate with someone who is unwilling to listen to you? Or can you communicate with someone whose only means of communication is his fists?

Bros, the day you see your beloved sister or daughter being pummeled like a punching bag under the auspices of marriage, please stand up and chant "communication," maybe it will quell the battering of her body.

As expected, something any random individual would say when they have no point, and finally realize their folly.

Nah, you just described your own antics perfectly with this post!

The lack of points and sheer folly, fall totally within your repertoire....

Excellentmind:
History will never be rewritten no matter the level of intelligence one may think one operates upon.

Increase in External Reserves: It's pertinent here to reveal to you the reason behind this recent increases in the external reserves as reported by CBN because you didn't highlight it. CBN has embarked on indirect devaluation of Naira, by its refusal to sell foreign exchange just to shore up external reserves without considering the pressure those in need of FX will mount on the available limited foreign exchange. This off course, has led to a free fall in the value of Naira which you now interpret to mean success to this administration without recourse to the ripple effects on Nigerians who expect immediate change in their standards of living.

Power Improvement: This Government has done nothing to improve the power supply. A fact that Buhari himself has never denied.

Refinery: A drastic measure taken by GEJ to arrest age long problem of the refusal of the builders of the refineries to put them on stream led to the pulling together of local resources which eventually fixed them. Today, it's being celebrated by this Government as part of its success in the last two months.

Corruption: We've continued to here conflicting figures without a single prosecution. Just to inform you, the report on Buhari's management of the ptdf is in the possession of OBJ, a discovery which led to retracting of his earlier threat of probe and limiting it to his predecessor and thereby reducing the entire process to a witch-hunt.

When you lie to gain acceptance, you will need to lie to remain accepted.

Sir, may your days be long!! Thank you so much for educating the clueless ones!

Just to corroborate what you just said :

Actually, NNPC Engineers started work on the TAM about 9 months ago, under GEJ. If funds had not been released to them there is no way, the TAM would have been successful.

Most of the work to resuscitate the refineries was done under GEJ. PMB was not in power 6-9 months ago, was he?

Go back and read my responses to you yesterday, and tell me which part is so hard for you to understand.

It is tiring and boring having to repeat a simple 'ask' over and over again to a 'wall'.

If you cannot point to a single point in the enumerated that is false and uphold such with facts, then I give up -- you win. #speciousmuch

And it is boring and tiresome to have to patiently make the same request over and over again to 98990 to substantiate with proof, his so-called " well researched and vetted facts," which are actually more or less a figment of his imagination, laced with a heavy dose of propaganda!

989900:
Refinery:

I actually posted this yesterday:

1. The past administration's goal was not to get the refineries working.

2. According to Diezani, they were better sold off.

3. The 4 refineries needed just N99b (after as usual), but the past administration would rather spend trillions on importation of refined products, waste billions on flights and similar sorry things, while our refineries were purposefully left at averagely less than 15-20% functional capacity for years!

4. The non-working refineries meant merry business times for beneficiaries of it's near demise. From oil-swap frauds to subsidy fraud, while the rest of us bear the brunt -- from severe fuel scarcity, to drain on Forex, in effect, strangling of the Naira resulting in hyper-inflation, and ultimately impoverishment of the people.

5. The extent of GEJ's complicity is less known (at least to me).

6. The past admin would not have taken the TAM serious, nor initiate it's commencement in Oct. 2014, if the elections weren't coming up in Feb.2015 (see it's approach to Boko Haram in the build up to the elections for comparison).

7. If the past admin retained the presidency, it would have been business as usual and more of the same.
Even the earlier proposed completion date by NNPC (April, 2016), would have been nothing but some pipe dream, in lieu of this earlier completion dates -- cause 'there's a new Sheriff in town'.

8. Contrary to some comments on here, it is actually possible to complete a TAM in 30-60 days or thereabout! TAM took roughly 100 days or thereabout at the Warri refinery in 2000, even though a sizeable portion of it was also affected by fire!

9. Most of the parts needed for the TAM for the PH refinery have actually been sitting locked up in containers at the Onne port for months before now!

10. All the enumerated above are 'facts' carefully researched, vetted, and stated without any sentiment. If you do have any contrary opinion, kindly state it with facts, and not your personal opinion. #welearneveryday

Hmmnn.... you have come here again to re-post your so-called 'facts,' despite the fact that you were taken to task over it yesterday. Truly, your ego knows no bounds!

Anyway, like I asked you before on another thread:

I am going to say this very slowly ... because I know you have a problem with comprehension.

Your former post at 9:09pm On Jul 29th stated that you had "carefully researched and vetted facts," . That is the problem I have with your post.

Now post the source of those facts, so those facts can be verified! Why is that so hard for you to do!

Na wah o!

https://www.nairaland.com/2487905/port-harcourt-warri-refineries-commences/4

I also told you on that same thread titled : " Port Harcourt, warri Refineries Commences preliminary Operations - Politics "

Hahaha...! When people like you turn propaganda into "carefully researched and vetted facts," it is always easy to shoot yourself in the foot! There is no need to say anymore... you have proved that your post consists of nothing more than conjecture based on a false premise.

Just go and sin no more!

NB: Long before the sale of the refineries was mooted under the last administration, OBJ had already concluded sale of 2 refineries while he was President.

jwils:
Electricity?.............. I dnt knw who is a liar between the Op and Buhari... For maiduguri still one year wit out light, modest success against bokoharam?....... U dnt knw what u're saying, u're jst blind folded by stupid propaganda

Well, we just need to intensify prayers for Maiduguri so that Boko Haram's defeat will be complete and peace can return to the North-East region. Without peace, there cannot be any true development.

If the Disco engineers and technical personnel go into Maiduguri and other North-East towns to rehabilitate the power infrastructure and transmission lines, what is the guarantee that they would come back alive?

The problem with folks like Rilwayne001 & passingshot is ignorance... They do not know that the acts or laws that set up NNPC allows them to do ALL capital and recurrent expenditures before remitting balance to federation account...

So you see them saying blindly that money wasn't released to them by FG...

He posted two different links one in dollars another in naira...did he try doing the currency conversion?...

If by dint of hardwork, engineers were able to beat deadline date...is it a crime because this is mere forecast done on perceived workload in a given project...

Same set of hypocrites will praise fashola who gave delivery date of July 2013 for his rail project... but till now, it is not near completion....

Don't mind them! Even project work on the dualised Lagos-Badagry expressway remains uncompleted. The completed portion has started developing cracks and massive craters on it around the Orile and Eleganza portion of the road.
