This your comparison has no basic. Nigeria is among the world highest crude oil productions . Ghana is no way to be compared with nigeria. The crude production from one oil field in delta region alone is bigger than the entire productions lines from Tacoradi in Ghana. The nigeria government is supposed to make fuel cheaper to her citizens than any other countries, because aside the fuel benefits there is no other benefits that come from the government to the citizens

So because we have fuel in abundance we should be getting it free.....do you know what the cost of production and transport is?

Tell me one thing that's free in the US or UK,you guys complain too much..........the naira had been grossly overvalued for a long time and now it's finding it's true value we are yet still not understanding it.

KEVIND:
If we can't buy fuel for ₦300 or less then its not a good news for the common man in Nigeria.
Majority of Nigerians are going through hell because of petrol prices.

You people and Ur falacies....it's obvious u know nothing about anything....N300 in this era when even bag of pure water is 400.....cross the border to our west African neighbours and see how much fuel is sold,as high as 2k per ltr in Cameroon....Ghana is also higher than ours....mind you Ghana has crude too!!

Even Saudi Arabia,the number one oil producer in the world does sell cheaper than ours

vowiski:
Let them be deceiving gullible Nigerians

Person weh dey cash out since

Naysayers in the mud!! Dangote refinery will never work,fuel will get to 2k per ltr,tinubu has nothing to offer.....Una see una life

sweetkev:
200 million people relying on one refinery owned by a monopolist. What happened to Dangote cement will definitely happen to his refined products.

Power of monopoly will be at play here but the useless government need to make our refineries work and put competent people there but with those idiots in power, I know that will never happen.

There are other private refineries....it's not just dangote

yarimo:
TINUBU Used WIKE in 2015 ? Kids with free bonus data just to post rubbish everywhere

He is very apt on this!! Tinubu and Wike alliance did not start today,even Wike very much acceded to that fact.....amaechi was well aware of this and that was the origin of his disdain for tinubu.....he was too opinionated of himself and thought he was at par with tinubu because of how they both started APC not knowing tinubu was several paces ahead of him

MEEVEET:
Tinubu used wike to weaken Ameachi starting from 2015 ... Knowing to well that Ameachi would challenge him for the ticket

I don't know why people can't see tinubu game... It's so simple and basic

Now he is using sowore to cause protests with very Vogue demands that can't be meet or seen as reasonable... Shifting away minds from electoral reform protest

Tinubu game is controlling the opposition to kill real opposition, that's it

You are spot on!! Tinubu and Wike romance didn't start 2023!! He had always been an ally to weaken amaechi in his base....."my enemy's enemy is my friend" but amaechi was too silly not to checkmate them...he over relied on the cabal to help him but they sure failed to.

illicit:
Kiekie

And Taooma!! No one else comes close!!

Mariangeles:
I quite enjoy @mama deola's skits.
Although, he can be very loquacious.

Not funny at all!!

Artscollection:
He should get the pms out first then pricing should follow and he can as well export if necessary but first, i want the competition to start so that the price will level out at some point.

Which competition.....no one for now would be competing with dangote!! Once he starts the doors would shut to petrol imports!!

That's why everyone is fighting to get there own piece of the pie before it takes off.....you see all those tank farms will be rendered redundant....a lot of people and businesses will be affected by that refinery

Artscollection:
I dont understand if it is the same fractional distillation that we learnt in secondary is been used here or some kind of rocket science

That refinery will work and must work,however it's the cost to Nigerians that should be the major concern.....they just haven't gotten PMS pricing to the point they want it which should be higher than what we are paying now!! Dangote wouldn't want to spend all that money and energy to build his refinery and govt still regulated prices

Artscollection:
Is it tgat bad or just Politics, i mean the dangote fuel

It's either sabotage or the refinery itself isn't ready as dangote is claiming!! However I won't make much of it because,they are still test running as we speak.

MadPolitician:
I don't work for the government.
Your aubty, Abike does

It doesn't have to be the govt that must report crimes such as hate speech!! Even hear on this forum there are rules and you can be reported for hate speech.its that simple!!

MadPolitician:
Abike Dibari should raise complaints about MC Oluomo, Oba Akiolu, Bayo Onanuga and all the pro APC characters that have inundated the public space with all sorts anti igbo outbursts since 2015.

Don't come with that tired line about how "two wrongs can not make a right". The igbos have been insulted and taunted by almost every serious APC government official for over a decade now, including President Buhari, who gave you the "5%", "dot in a circle" and the "language you will understand " lines.

It's a proud and important culture of over 50 million people that the ruling government of their country has turned into the favourite punching bag for no other reason, other than the fact that igbos supported ONE Goodluck Jonathan, whom the APC aparatchick thought was/is igbo.

Equal dispensation of the law is the best way to dodge anarchy.

You can also report them to the foreign govts and agencies urself!! No one is stopping u.

Artscollection:
Fuel go reach 1500 soon, very expensive joke.
Oga and his Lagos boys don loot this one down within a yr in office.

No!! I think 1,200....that's actually the realistic price and it will get there by December...... Dangote failed another PMS line test just this last weekend.

Onyinyeperpetua:
Calamity
Tell me one good thing these pathetic government has achieved
Tomorrow if you talk about it
These Yoruba ppl will call you shinedu

Read the actual post and not just the headline.. they are totally different....nowhere in that statement did NNPCL mention anything about debt!!

Mustack:
Ikorodu need one of this train

The yellow line is to go from CMS to ikorodu!! But I really think it should be of more priority than the purple line.

iamoyindamola:
Still no ikorodu lane?

The yellow line is to get to ikorodu!! I think that should even be more priority and the green line than the purple line.

OBTOREPA:
They have to put there names in Guinness book of records as the first Cow to tow car on the Nigerian roads.

That's not Nigeria.... Doomsday analyst!!

Burob:
None could defeat President Jonathan other than President Buhari, they all Northernees from Atiku to Kwakwanso contested the primaries & lost to him.

Same as no one can defeat President Tinubu in 2027.

I beg to differ!! The incumbent president practically owns his parties ticket for a second term and anyone running against him in same party is just wasting his time.....that's the bitter truth about Nigerian politics.

I repeat,if atiku had remained in the opposition with AC when he initially left PDP in 2007,he would have rallied the opposition against PDP and he would have won in 2015....Buhari was sold to us by the opposition,he never had the capacity to propagate himself or single handedly take on GEJ but atiku had the political capital and structure,Buhari had non!! Either atiku or Buhari against GEJ, GEJ would have still lost that election because the north were critically angling for power to return to them and they had the BAT machinery to work with them and a few other southern politicians who were equally quiet formidable at the time.

naptu2:
Actually, if you read my 2022 post (it's the last post on the first page of this thread), it ended up costing them more.

The manufacturer had almost finished the train by the time the new governor said that he didn't want it. The manufacturer sued the government and won compensation in court. The old government had previously made part payment for the trains.

Yet Milwaukee still didn't get the trains. The manufacturer sold them to Lagos (the reason Lagos went for it is because it was cheaper because the manufacturer had already made a lot of money from it).

I only responded to the post asking whether discontinuity also happens in America after a change of govt and I tried adducing reasons why it could have happened in the case of the subject.

naptu2:
From my 2022 thread.

Doesn't look like the same one we got!!

humberjade:
So this madness happens in saner climes too, whereby a govt will initiate a project that is beneficial to the people, then his successor comes in and cancels. Well, I rarely see abandoned projects through successive administrations though.

Rail transportation isn't a profit generating enterprise anywhere in the world......the new govt at the time could believe they could still make use of the hold ones they had and not taken on extra debt acquiring new ones or maybe some malfeasance had been detected in the purchase and could refuse to go ahead with the deal.

Hemanwel:
Lagos State government is trying, but can still do better. The central government led by Senator Bola Tinubu isn't trying at all! Instead of focusing on redeeming the battered image of his administration by providing good governance, which is the primary responsibility, Tinubu is making all efforts to silence oppositions of his maladministrative government and using tax payers money to pay media thugs to assassinate the characters of oppositions.

Tinubu must be kicked outta power!!!

Go and kick him out nah.....if you don't like him,there are millions more who do!!

MadamVanessa:



See what a black man is reporting as news and celebrating in this present time. We're so used to to mediocrity in this part of the world.

This is news anywhere And a first in the country.....you need to learn to appreciate little things,those lands you are always quick to glamorise didn't get where they are overnight.

Throwback:
How are they 2nd hand trains?

That they were built for another customer in the USA who eventually did not complete the purchase order, does not make it 2nd hand if Lagos is the first user.

Is Milwaukee in Canada?

Not that I am trying to run down this project or the Lagos state govt but I must say that I saw the train first hand and someone did a bad paint job on it and the trains don't look new.....even the headlights were discoloured,though the interior was very neat!!

Burob:
Though true, I doubt that Abubakar Malu Atiku had the clout to defeat the incumbent President Jonathan Ebele in the general election of 2015.

The electorate would have voted for Jonathan Instead of the presumed kleptomaniac.

Different sentiments for different candidates... With the north angling for power to return to them at the time and the SW tired of PDP behind him ...any northern candidate would have defeated GEJ in 2015

Hemanwel:
He didn't have to say it in black and white, idiat! But he has been inciting your people against igbos, isn't it? You didn't know that what you have been enjoying him doing would lead to this?

So what then would you call what MNK and ipob had been doing to the other tribes in the country.....you guys were spurring them on,now another idiot has surfaced inciting hate and here you are again!! If Nigeria were to go to civil war again,do you know the Igbos would lose the most?

Hemanwel:
Reno Omokri, an Itsekiri man claiming Yoruba, has been busy with his time on daily basis reeling out hate speeches against the Igbos, you were clapping for him. Now an Igbo lady in Canada is fighting back, you want to arrest her.

Hypocrites! Arrest Reno first!

Do you even know what hate speech means?

Bolu004:
Mohammed Bello did not have access to funds like Wike.
When Wike was appointed the FCT Minister, he lobbied for FCT to be removed from TSA which was approved by Tinubu.
So he has every resources needed to achieve what he's presently doing in the FCT.

Bello and adamu aliero were competing for the position of the worst fct minister ever.....still not sure who gets the hat.

blackgold2018:
but if I recall. Buhari was more popular and referred to within the new then APC circus that period.

They gave the primary election ticket to Buhari.

Or perhaps you meant he would have contested with another party to wrestle the election votes with Buhari and Jonathan

If atiku had remained with tinubu in the opposition post AC,Buhari would have stood no chance to emerge as the opposition candidate in 2015.
