Gbagada is like 18hrs!!!

Mr. Utomi is not the founder of Lagos Business School......Lagos Business School was founded by Africa Leadership Foundation

Adiola:
oil in lagos fully owned by an individual and no one will bomb his pipelines gosh!but if the niger delta lay claims to their oil you ll be the first to shout kill tHem

I think we can officially agree that you're an educated illiterate

Adiola:
Now I believe what alhaji dokubo said according to him there's no oil in lagos its all media lies and hype ...remember the media reported that the uk will receive the first crude on September 11 and today is 30th ,they are giving reasons so that by 11 sept they ll say lagos assembly blocked the process gosh! My governor is right afterall yorubas are taking this too far if we don't do anything now ,we ll become jokes in coming yEars

I suggest you get out of discussions that your intellect cannot handle. A discussion is centering on the technical and commercial aspects of Oil and Gas exploration, development and production..............you ridiculously brought what Asari Dokubo, whose education probably has not gone beyond gun fighting in the creeks, into the mix...... At times I wonder if you guys go to school to learn ignorance

Secondly don't you think is safer to ask questions and be educated than to sound dumb and ignorant? Obviously you don't know zilch about crude export and trading, yet rely on what the media said and directed your diatribe at the wrong people

Be educated - Beyond the necessary government take (Royalties, PPT, govt share from profit-oil, and 13% derivation to Lagos state), Yinka Folawiyo it is who has the headache of selling the crude to whoever they choose - the UK company or anyother, and whatever time

ProfessorPeter:
pls can you mention one FG project in Niger Delta after 53 years of exploration ?

Did you just ask this dumb question?

shukuokukobambl:
The guy is actually empty. Once it goes beyond hating Yoruba, he lacks what to contribute

I know

gretblue:
Brother, don't waste your time. He will only give you the beer parlour analysis of why PIB was not passed. Ironically, PDP was at the helm of affair when all these occurred.

I will edge a bet that the guy has not opened a page in any of the PIB document

lordkhalifa:
the law is it only effective in south , what happens to untapped solid resources in north why are they mining it privately, United state we practice there system of government practice resource control, Washington DC can't claim ownership of oil field in Hawaii, u can't mine gold from California and share it equally with Virginia and New York, every state has to control and explore their resources, then give some percentage to the federal government, u know too well that oil from Creek is the oil thing still holding us as 1Nigeria, high time we remit what they got from north into federal account let's share it equally the way we share oil from south

You see, that is the problem with you lot. You just spew ignorance from an unlimited spraycan.........

1. The law guiding Oil and natural resources is applicable to all regions. That is why a broke osun state and a struggling Enugu states for example cannot touch the Gold and Coal deposits underneath the ground. When Nigeria was exporting Tin from Jos, did the money not go to FG purse? But to make it easier for you, please show us evidence that returns from solid resources in the North was not returned to national purse

2. Except I am discussing with some juvenile, you should know that the laws guiding oil exploration in the US and Nigeria are different. Even the US laws are not as direct as you interpreted it............


but on quick reflection, I suggest we rest it, since your input to me is not only factually incorrect, it is filled with hate

ProfessorPeter:
These are the same Yoruba people who joined their masters to killed PIB because it will benefit oil producing communities in Niger Delta. Now oil has been discovered in their domain and they are jittery. God please let the maltreatment, killings, destructions and oppressions they meted on us befall any community in Nigeria where oil is found.

NLers with ignorance x100000.....

Please analyse how PIB was killed because it will "benefit" the oil producing community - I hope you will do so with section of any of the 3 draft versions of the PIB and not what was discussed in a beer parlour

lordkhalifa:
my dear I won't benefit anything.... let's tell ourselves the bitter truth... oil In the creek is the only thing still keeping us together...

Oil in the creek is keeping us together, fine......and you think Oil in the creek is yours? The last I checked the Nigerian Laws clearly states that the ownership of anything buried underground belongs to the FG. So deal with it.......

what an apt code name - "Crocodile Smile"

kaorama:
Serious wahala. This is what failure of leadership can cause. South African leadership just like in Nigeria has failed to work hard to bring the country together. Zuma has succeded in mismanaging the country's human and material resources.

It must be a skill to lack comprehension.....you mean of all you watched and listen to, the above is your interpretation...

Onegai:
A serious government will have started drawing up policy plans and TOC in the MOUs to different bidding companies to include a processing facility built nearby with a 30 year Buyback option (after 30 years, resell facility to a Nigerian conglomerate), 2 technological centres in collaboration with 2 universities in Nigeria (one in the parent state, we already have Unis that teach Metals and Metallurgy and have Departments for Mining. But they need strengthening and massive upheavals) and a 40% technology transfer rate (to encourage your own citizens to become more advanced to take.over eventually from the company). In other words, for every dollar you make in Nigeria, you must spend $1 educating a Nigerian to eventually take over your job. Singapore and Malaysia did it, others did it. The U.S. actively does it, so does Canada. They make private companies pass on skills to their local workforce. All this will advance us further.

Wake me up when we become serious. Because I've seen better policy makers on Nairaland and social media than in government.

my only exception is that these are good suggestion, but put up with an air of arrongance....... The news is simply about the discovery. The ministry has not told you about the commercial roadmap. If you followed the ministry well enough you will observe that they have brought sanity and order into the business of mining of late.

tayotemowo:
Well in my opinion this isn't such a bad thing for Nigeria if PMB can be smart enough about the kind of people that are put in charge of the exploitation of the mineral resource. It's not enough to just dig it up and export it how about getting manufacturers of the industries that need it as a major raw material to come and set up shops in the country that way we can also export the finished goods it's used for. I can imagine what the company in charge of Ajaokuta steel mill had been paying to import that material and now we don't have to import that as stated above their are so many things needed now that nickel is used as a major raw material for. Well hope we're smart enough as a nation.

Bros,

You're mile ahead of the lot in deep reasoning. I understand that Namibia has diamond as a resource, yet you cannot export raw materials out of Namibia........

lordkhalifa:
better than deceiving over 180million Nigerians in the name of search for oil in Chad basin... it will please me if we push for restructuring and total control of resources

Bros,

Apart from you glaring ignorance wrt to Search for Oil in the Chad Basin, your penchant for bile and hatred in unnecessary. If Oil is found in the Chad basin today, you and I benefit......

Bolustic:
Fayemi never studied sciences in any of his 3 degrees yet, he's performing well, a strong civil service is enough for any minister, irrespective of discipline to perform.

That is why leadership is different from management and worker-ship. People we keep mouthing Fashola is not an engineer don't get it. The Legal and commercial exposure of the Ministry of power may be worth double the requirements for engineering......that is why a leader is needed to galvanise the mix

Is this report valid? or just someone trying to direct traffic to his/her blog.......

Sun international left because of the feud in the Ibru family, every other story about economic conditions is all bulshit. Starwood has been managing Sheraton, Hilton, 4-points etc, yet despite the so called "economic-conditions" they have kept their heads about the waters.

Nellybank:
But buhari why nah?

This is Cross River Garment Textile Factory, when completed will produce African and Italian fabrics. It is also expected to generate jobs and help to reduce our reliance on foreign fabrics. See more pictures below..

Italian Fabrics?

macphilip:
seem the NDA have gone on holiday!

Much of these improvement is not coming from Gas power stations

What you people fail to realise is that this is market forces at play.

1. Gencos must make money, so they must generate more
2. Government must deliver power on a sustainable basis, so Fashola agreed and implemented the new price regime, that will encourage investors to further invest in more power
3. Discos, whose "gbese" keeps counting day-by-day, cannot but push power to us consumers, so that your credit will run down and you will come and buy more.

So everybody wins

The other thing that we should watch out for is the major regional power Gencos
1. East - Prof. Barth Nnaji's coy
2. North - The Solar power consortium
3. West - Flurry of IPPs
4. South-South - Benin, Akwa Ibom etc

These and many will help free the long-mile grid transmission as what is generated in these areas will first serve these regions and only the left overs will be sent to the grid

rusher14:
Although I think this coincides as usual with the rainy season, it would do a world of good if you specified your location.

Nope. The reason is because 3 Hydro power had recently increased their generating capacity by 100%. Even if the rains increase, if the turbines are not fired up, you will get nothing. Imagine when ND avenger stop blowing up pipeline and about 7 Gas power station comes on stream with over 2GW

Kacyrose:
It has drastically improved two weeks ago, almost as it was before Buhari took over. I hope it last

You guys are bunch of crap liars. What was the situation of power before Buhari took over? Are you referring to the ones Radio and TV stations were announcing they would shut down due to no power and no diesel?

Apelex:
Light is 24/7

Bonny island.Rivers

Steady power supply.

Thanks to NLNG and Shell

I believe this topic should exclude Bony Island. Bony Island in not on the grid. Part of the NLNG agreement is the the two coys extend power to Bonny Island

ENDTIMEISNEAR:
Kaii my first time seeing an Educated Fulani Herd-boy/men hope when he grow up , he will not becomes Violence blood sucker Fulani herd man

At least there is a higher likelihood that his education will be complete unlike yours

lonelydora:
Before you are contacted, the job is already given to the children of the rich. You think I'm lying, go and check FIRS, CBN, EFCC, NigComSat etc.

Rant of a typical failure----- "I was not invited because my father is poor.............". Bros, there are many reasons why people get left behind, being sub-par is first on the list

slimbless:
She is cute, bt she shld stop wearing short dresses when visiting public figures.
Same thing happened during GEJ tenure. Well I quess this is better than that

I am searching for the person called "STUNNER"

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/smhp.gif

I was about saying same?

hopilo:
Point #4. For 20years still searching? What a dumb search and waste of money. Let not even talk about 21st century technology, over a decade ago the world had moved past blind search for oil.

Forget it, you do not know anything about exploration
