Desyner:
No irrelevant facts please.

Relax. Are you scared? Facts are sacred.

I am enjoying this already.

So let me start by critiquing the article from Guardian that Desyner quoted. Last week when I read the article on via their tweeter handle, I commented that the piece was not thorough, one sided and incompetent. I say so because the writer(s) missed/omitted a lot of salient points that will put things into proper persepectives.

Starting with the History of Exploration in the North - (I will try to be as brief as possible). I also encourage as many that will have time to do a lot of searches (google) and diligent study on these points

1. Exploration in the North actually started about the same time with the south. In fact exploration started in the whole of the then protectorate in the late 1800s. Shell D'Archy (as was then known) got the license from the British govt to explore both the North and South. They were "exploring" in both, but abandoned their Northern expedition when they made what the world deemed a "stroke of luck" successful commercial discovery at Oloibiri. It was reported that further work in what became Niger-Delta helped Shell to pay-off the £40m loan for the expedition. It made logical sense to ditch the license of the North and concentrate on where there was/still is Oil in abundance
2. Mobil (later Exxon Mobil) also started in the North, but also abandoned the search, because as at that time other IOCs started coming in, especially as Shell was making a "kill" with more discovery.
3. The point here is simply to state that the exploration of Oil in the North did not start with Buhari, neither was it an after thought. Scientist have submitted that the nature of sub-surface in the North, made of hard rocks due to trapping caused by volcanic activity most like made the search difficult, besides technology was at its infancy back then.

Now these are the areas where I disagree with the writer @desyner quoted

1. While the writer(s) stated that oil exploration started in the North about 40yrs ago,(it actually started before then) she now accused Buhari of intensifying the effort to fulfill some political aspiration of the north. Lets pause a bit here. I find a disconnect in this statement. The writer did not tell the world what had happened within those 40yrs. May be, let's not bore ourselves with the 70s and 80s, even the 90s, let's quickly fast-forward to the 2000s. Do we remember an article submitted on NL by @PepERSprAY in 2008

Oil boom likely in Northern Nigeria -Experts
By Adeola Yusuf, Reporter, Lagos

Major oil discovery, which can fetch Nigeria another commercial crude exploration and production, is likely in the northern part of the country, petroleum explorationists have said.

As at 201o, Diezani was Minister of Petroleum. Below were the efforts she led on Oil exploration in the north

NNPC Intensifies Exploration Activities in Chad Basin...To Acquire 33, 550 sq km of 3-D seismic data for processing...As Diezani Alison-Madueke calls for strengthening of Efforts
Moves by the Federal Government to build up the nations proven oil reserve through exploration of new frontiers for oil and gas production received a fresh thrust yesterday with the news that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, is putting finishing touches to a comprehensive framework designed to herald the intensification of exploration activities in the Chad Basin.

Also determined to ensure that the latest quest for a sustainable oil find in the Chad Basin is met with success, the Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Diezani Alison- Madueke has directed the Corporation to leave no stone unturned in its push to strike `black gold’ in the prospective Chad Basin.

In addition, in 2008 NAPE under the leadership of Kingley Ojoh (an executive director at Total) had this to say about exploration in the North

that the Red sea, like the northern Nigeria "has once been written off in terms of oil exploration and discovery. It was written in black and white by some western explorationists that that region could not have oil deposits but with the aids of modern technology, it is today one of the finest region where oil is been explored in commercial quantity."

Of late, the same NAPE under the leadership of Abidoun Adesanya had this to say

1.

........previous exploration in the inland basins was not good enough

2.

He said: “There is justification because we all know from the Chadian and Niger side, there’s been commercial discovery. It is the same sedimentary basin that straddles across these international boundaries, so we will be under-performing if we decide not to go and search on our side of the basin and other basins.

“When you look at the experience of Ghana, you may be forced to say they won’t discover oil, but they did. We have seen a similar situation in Senegal, Kenya, Uganda, and Mozambique. No one can say we won’t discover oil in the north. Let’s allow science to determine that,”

Summary.

1. Oil exploration in the North had been and is a legitimate exercise, started by the "colonial masters", resuscitated in 1976, and had been pursued since then.
2. Virtually every govt in the advent of 3rd republic - Yar' Adua, GEJ and PMB had pursued the exploration in the North.

Desyner:
My points are gradually being proven. The govt should be prioritizing refinement of of proven reserve we are currently exporting above any oil search, be it north or south.
N-Power employed 200k people and paid N30k. I know oil can pay 5 times that and employ 2 times of N-power.

Hello Guys that are following this discourse.

1. @Desyner = don't worry, your "points" will be addressed in details
2. @Blue3k - I was suprised when I discovered I could not post yesterday. My free time expired and I had to attend to some other issues, especially for that which I make my daily bread so I had to wait till this morning
3. If any body is following, pls do permit me some space to do a fairly extensive elaboration of this discussion. I believe we all have a thing or two to learn from this.

Let me start by saying my discussion will cover these categories

1. History
2. Science
3. Politics
4. Economics and Commercial.

I do not claim to be a bible of Oil and Gas business. I learnt it in my work, still learning and will share my experience. Secondly I am not a geologist, but have been "trained" by geologist, reservior engineers, drillers, and commercial leaders in the business.

@Desyner,

this tickles your fancy shay? and you never let go of needless argument. When you were "dumster-finding" stuffs on the internet (according to your claimed random searching) did you conveniently miss this article below that reacted to this same "wishy-washy" artucle you so jumpy to claim as gospel?

Deepening debate on oil exploration in the north

Like a planned incident, last week, three stories were coincidentally published by different newspapers on this subject; one by this author, deepening the debate on the viability of the renewed push for oil exploration in the frontier basins in the north.

At the centre of the debate is still the prospect of a major oil find in the frontier basins.

Oppositionists insisted last week the search is wasteful because years of exploration have yielded nothing of interest to investors. One of them, a geologist and a former staff of an oil major, was elated by stories that confirmed his position. “The frontier basins have nothing to offer,” he repeated.

But the president of Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), Abiodun Adesanya, responds with an analogy of the search for the cure of diseases such as AIDS and major inventions, explaining that some could be long processes which improve over time until success is achieved.

While he worries that no conclusive evidence has been provided by oppositionists to prove that there is no oil in the North, he believes that science and available data support the need to continue the search.

“It is an incontrovertible fact that the petroleum system has been established in the frontier basins,” he says. “This includes finding a source rock, reservoir rock and a conduit that links the two. Once these have been established, there is encouragement to drill for further examination. In the past some of these exercises were done in a hurry.”

He finds collaboration in the Group General Manager Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, who explains that, “oil exploration activities and operations, worldwide, are long term investments and efforts.

“In some cases, it takes years to make a find. Making a find is not the issue but doing that in commercial and reasonable quantities. In the Chad Basin, for example, neighboring countries have struck oil. The search took them years.

“In our portion of the Chad Basin, prospects of oil in commercial quantities are high and bright. Were it not for the security challenges there, NNPC would have gone far in its efforts. Imagine, we lost lives. And, it takes years to develop oil exploration personnel.

As regards, Benue Trough, Nassarawa and Benue states in particular, prospects for oil find are high. Oil exploration requires patience and understanding”

Former Shell expert

The former Shell Nigeria director and respected geologist, who had urged the country not to walk away from the Chad basin, added during the week that:“The Basin tectonics of the place is irrefutable. The evidence of the opening and closing of the Benue Trough is there – the Andesites.

“We don’t even need to discuss the Chad Basin, the evidence is there across the border. BUT I said the sediment thickness and volcanic MAY go against us on our side. If we decide to close our eyes to the science because of political hatred, may God have mercy on us and forgive us.”

The former director, had said last week that: “Take Chad Basin: you have hydrocarbons on the Chad side but we have not been lucky to find them on our side in commercial quantities. Reason: sediment thickness, trapping conditions and geothermal history – looks like (emphasis mine) the volcanics that occurred in that trend (and there is evidence in the Biu area) may have resulted in “over cooking” and compromised the trapping. My conclusion: don’t walk away from such a basin. Invest in solid high fidelity data acquisition and processing, followed by AND accompanied by ‘okponku’ i.e. sound basin studies.

“The same goes for Anambra basin – there the volcanics resulting from the failure of the ’opening of a sea’ linked to the Atlantic…..and maybe the Mediterranean! (plate tectonics) may have over cooked the sediments there.”

Politics

From the other side of the debate also comes the argument that the whole process has been politicized to score political points from a fruitless exercise. The Executive Director, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), and Head of Transparency International Nigeria, Auwal Musa, is reported to have said: “We should not bring regional politics to everything that can benefit the entire country. The project has not been seen as a national effort to diversify revenue. If it is seen as something meant for national interest, I don’t think there is the need for the Sokoto State governor or anyone to lobby. There are signals that it is going to favour one particular region.”

A report was been made last week of the visits to and hosting of the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr Maikanti Baru by some governors and the issues discussed as follows.

Benue: Recently in Makurdi, where he hosted Baru, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom enthused: “Benue people would be excited to have such projects come to fruition, because the state and country stand to reap numerous economic benefits from the development.”

Baru had assured him of oil exploration activities and biofuel projects in the state, expected to generate over one million direct and indirect jobs for the people of the state. According to him, “Due to encouraging results of previous geological studies, basin modeling, aeromagnetic, ground gravity and surface geochemistry surveys, and success of ongoing acquisition of seismic data in the Benue Trough, will lead to the drilling of oil wells in the state.”

He noted that a contractor, Integrated Data Services Ltd., IDSL, will be contracted to carry out a seismic acquisition campaign with heavy equipment where long cables would be laid with geophones; and pleaded for the protection of the equipment from vandals. Baru also appealed to Ortom to issue a C of O for hectares of land earmarked for the biofuel project enumerating its benefits to include about 63,000 tons of animal feed per year, 64 MW of electricity and 84 million litres of ethanol fuel yearly, among others.

ONDO: On the same day came reports of an earlier visit of Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to the NNPC Twin Towers in Abuja for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU), to establish a 65,000 million litres per annum biofuel plant in Okeluse, Ondo State.

Baru, according to the statement, said the project “is not fully an NNPC subsidiary and that some investors are also bringing in Foreign Direct Investment into the country for the project.”

Gov. Akeredolu expressed confidence that the biofuel project would take off for the benefit of the people of Ondo and the country in general.

NASARAWA: At a similar stakeholder engagement meeting in Lafia earlier, oil search in Nigeria’s inland basins received a boost following Baru’s announcement of the commencement of exploration activities in the Nasarawa State’s section of the Benue. He said the presidential mandate was driven by the urgent need for the country to increase its oil and gas reserves, thereby improving revenue streams and creating more business and employment opportunities for Nigerians. Governor Tanko Al-makura expressed delight over the oil search in his state and assured the NNPC of the state government’s support and that of the people of the state.

Some industry experts are not worried by the political labeling. They say whatever name politicians give a scientific process should not discourage scientists from doing their work. In fact, according to NNPC, the country’s frontier basins include Chad, Anambra, Bida, Lagos/Dahomey, Gongola/Yola and Sokoto basins, as well as the Middle/Lower Benue Trough. They say the Corporation is also an active participant in offshore oil exploration.

Government’s participation

On the active participation of NNPC in the search, experts respond with the example of Ghana, which also explains the need for persistence in oil exploration. According to records, hydrocarbon exploration in Ghana began in 1896 but it was not until 2007 that a major find was made.

“It was started by the West Africa Oil and Fuel Company (WAOFCO) who drilled in the area of Half-Asini. They were followed by the Société Française de Petrole, who began drilling in 1909, although exploration in the country between 1896 to 1967 was intermittent.

“Major and sustained exploration activity started with the formation of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) in 1985 and has continued until today. Ghana’s first petroleum law, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Law was passed in 1983, and in 1987 the enactment of the Petroleum Income Tax Law, again by the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC),government provided a separate tax regime for the petroleum sector.

“Between the years 1983 and 1989, the GNPC concluded several agreements with a number of foreign firms, and in 1989 the country’s first and only refinery at Tema (as of 2011) underwent its first major rehabilitation.

“In June 2007, the GNPC announced a significant discovery of light oil offshore at the Jubiliee Field, together with partners Tullow Oil and Komos Energy. According to Tullow Oil, it was one of the biggest oil finds in Africa in recent times. The Jubilee field began producing in December 2010, and is estimated to hold 1.5 billion barrels of oil. In January 2012 Tullow Oil Plc., the lead company in Ghana’s oil production, is expected to begin production at the Jubilee oil field for 2012 to average between 70,000 and 90,000 barrels per day (bpd).

“In July 2011 it was announced that Italian firm, Eni, had discovered gas and condensate.”

Indeed just like the involvement of GNPC in the oil search in Ghana, Adesanya believes there is nothing wrong about NNPC’s active involvement in preparatory work in the frontier basins. “It is just like marketing any product. To attract the private sector, NNPC has to provide convincing evidence of oil in the frontier basins, and I believe that is what they are doing.”

Timing

According to a report, the co-founder, Sustainability School, Lagos, and Associate Lecturer, Centre for Petroleum, Energy Economics and Law (CPEEL), University of Ibadan, Dr. Olufemi Olarewaju, and others are worried about the timing of the push. He says while the chances of oil discovery in the inland basins, especially in the north cannot be ruled out, the bigger question is whether the timing is in the best interest of the country.

Others in this school of thought of less oil demand in future because of the high taste for renewables, believe that the country should rather maximize the production of existing reserves and forget about the search.

However, drawing from the Parable of Talents, some industry experts believe the same argument justifies the exploration and exploitation of all hydrocarbon resources as quickly as possible before they become so useless that the land in which they are found will be more valuable than the hydrocarbon.

NNPC’s assurance

Baru used the opportunity of the meeting with NAPE and a visit to Nasarawa last month to assure the nation that they are not on a wild goose chase. He expressed confidence that the aggressive exploration of the inland basins, being driven by the corporation, would soon yield success with hydrocarbon finds in commercial quantity.

According him, based on preliminary results from the exploration activities in the inland basins so far, especially the Benue Trough, there was a strong indication that commercial quantity oil and gas finds would soon be made.

Baru disclosed that preliminary results from the exploration activities in the inland basins so far had shown that there could be commercial quantity of oil and gas finds soon, in the Benue Trough especially.

He said almost 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic data had been acquired in the part of the Benue Trough that was earlier explored by SNEPCO, while similar work would be extended to areas previously explored by Chevron and Total.

“We are targeting these areas because we have seen that some of what they have done have some prospects; it is only that they did not drill deep enough. They also did not target the areas we believe, from the review of the seismic data, would have culminated into a find. So, we are reinvigorating that and soon we are going to start drilling some of the leads that we have seen to ascertain what prospects there are. And as we have pointed out, there is an indication that we could find some hydrocarbon. We believe that in the nearest future, hydrocarbon will be found in commercial quantity,” he explained.

Blue3k:
The government already has made refining priority. They approved building of more refineries like Dangote and modular refineries all over ND. Buhari refused sell/concession state owned refineries so we're doing more turn around maintenance for the upteenth time. It's mainly a private sector effort the government is focusing on by trying to pass things like Petroleum industry bill and such supposedly.

Anyway like Mapet explained oil exploration is calculated risk. Geology speaking potential exist in Benue and Chad basin from what I researched. Neighboring countries found oil near those basins. Niger republic didn't find their oil till they got Chinese help after searching decades. Chad didn't find it till decades later as well.

Bros,

...........................
I see a lot of ignorance in the public domain. How can people say oil is not a available in the north, when such is not backed up by seismic data? I took a guardian reporter on on twitter, when I saw a very unprofessional reportage about exploration in Chad, Benue and Anambra basins. She mentioned every other thing but what Nigeria stands to benefit. She down-played all the professional views of seasoned geologists and kept referring to "expert opinions" which are mostly from those who have little to do with oil business. I challenged Guardian by asking 7 questions bothering on the geology, the business, ROI to Nigeria, Capacity Development, Economy and Forex. Every other things discussed is about sectional politics and some ridiculous arguments about "wrong-timing".

If we find oil in any of these basins, it adds to our natural reserves. This heralds investments as Oil and Gas companies will start trouping in to take up the licenses. It addresses our financing problems for instance we could do infrastructure-for-oil exchange. CNOOC beat Shell to an investment deal in Angola in a new discovery. While Shell was making their "regular offer", CNOOC backed by the Chinese govt, added perks "Oil-for-Infrastructure" deal. They committed to build major high-speed rail lines for Angola at no cost (actually factored into the cost of oil). Do you think if we have additional oil, our borrowings will not reduce? We have a projected infrastructure spending of $100b for the next 50years. In this budget we could only allocate $50b, leaving us a $50b deficit. Those who argue to that we should leave oil are blind-sided..........

First off, let me start by saying, this is the Guardian article I was referring to which I deemed incompetent and unprofessional. I will explain this further soon

Bros,

This is the consequences of people not having the capability to process things very well before putting something in public space. From her write-up, her accusation is simply premised on the fact that Yemi Solade asked that she meets him in a guest house.......and that is it? Haba, some of these stu.pid girls should realise that people have lives and families to protect. You don't make accusations without credible evidence, you end up upsetting the family.

I hazard a guess that some of these girls just want to take their "pound of flesh" may be for some misgivings the have against these people.

Blue3k:
Still waiting on light rail line. Who ever commissions that will stroll in lIke Obama after killing Osama. Thats one of majob things it needs to be metropolises. The buses cool I guess. E-ticketing is good.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that Ambode has settled for "small-small" projects in multiple numbers and ignored the bigs ones which are more strategic. I would have thought that by now, the phase 1 of the light rail project should have been on stream, people should have been able to take trains from Festac to CMS. I can understand that there is a major underground Oil pipeline from Festac to Badagry axis which has to be relocated, but Festac to CMS should have been a priority for Ambode. Secondly on housing, he just let down steam. I am not too sure if he's commissioned any housing project he started from the scratch. The only things I see is his modification of Lagos HOMS model of Fashola to a Rent-to-Own scheme. Many of Fashola's unfinished housing (Ilubirin, Millenium Gbagada, Ijora Badia etc) project still remain unfinished.

This BRT lauch and lay-by, fantastic though, but are not going to solve our traffic problems. These initiatives are normally consolidations to the Rail transport system. Until Lagos is connected by Rail, all these ones are just as good as scratching the surface

It is now about every other person. Not surprised cos it is your character to spam threads with irrelevant facts through various user accounts. I leave that to those viewing the thread to decide who is being taken to the cleaners.





Let's assume that my English was truly 'Kaduna-Teacher' standard and yours was of Oxfords standard, what's the use of a good English with no real substance to communicate ?
@the bold, you have started displaying signs of your mental weakness again by replying to figments of your own imagination. If not how can you in all your seemingly infinite knowledge not know that a refinery takes few years to be built but our proven oil reserve can still last us decades.
I leave the viewers to judge who the clown and retard is between the two of us. That's is if you don't activate your various monikers like DE0MEL0 and the rest then start spaming the thread in support of "your-other-self".

1. Foolish man. When you get intellectually weak, you come up with dumb accusations. You cannot competently defend yourself anymore you want people to help you.........

2. Our proven reserves will last us decades...... really? and after that what next? build more refineries?
I think you should find yourself some toys

Bros,

I praise you for going out of your way to do this thankless job. I find it unbelievable when people make comments on something a google search will throw at them free of charge.

Keballl:
Analytical details of what? Don't you have shame?

I have something better - a functioning brain. Do you?

Keballl:
Your attempt to defend this fraud is dead on arrival.

Get out of here.

Except you can show me in a analytical detai how it is fraud.......but...... if it's the "why N700m?" argument, then we can both agree not to waste each other's time

If you know one or two things about focusing on discussion you should have stuck to the simple question the thread raised instead of trying to google things that are beyond your reasoning capacity on-the-fly.

So in you opinion it is better the government prospects for oil and lost the chance to employ an estimated 460,000 Nigerians. Your brain ought to have told you that those state owned oil companies you presented as being responsible for crude discovery have good refining arrangement in place for their output. In Nigeria we are battling unemployment but some people think it is cool to prioritize the discovery of crude that may not even exist above refining of that which we already have in excess and will employ hundreds of thousands.

The fact that you will prefer to try and play the devil's advocate just to spite me shows the stuff you are made of. Keep googling stuff on-the-fly and forming sophisticated. More grease to your elbow.

1. Apart from me, every other person has taken you to the cleaners. These people engage in discourse with you logically, they also back it up with evidence. They have demonstrated a commitment to diligent study and quest for knowlege.....and it shows in the quality of their submissions. Can that be said of you? Nope. You have no intellectual content, you just throw mumbo-jumbo stuffs around, argue blindly and when found out you resort to pettiness.

2. . With your "Kaduna-Teacher" English, you cannot rationalize that refineries can only continue to exist when you sustain your oil reserves.

3. Spite you? Don't get over yourself, you've already given yourself away as simply a noise maker.....I can only encourage you to continue at what you do best........at least NL needs comic reliefs like you sometimes

shukuokukobambi: And how many years did wonderful Dora work in NAFDAC before she was made its DG?

In fact, how many years did Dr Kachikwu work in NNPC before becoming GMD and performing excellently well there?

We no hear pim.

Pim ke? You know that kind question that dazed and stupifies

Desyner:

realjoker: Lwkmd, I am not mapet, take off the chaff from your eyes. FG prioritise local refining of crude oil than searching for crude oil in the hinterland basins only fifth columnist like you are the only people that believes FG prioritise search for crude oil in the hinterland basin ahead of local refining.

The more you try the more you expose yourself

@realjoker,

I suggest you ignore the daft thing. Once anyone takes him to the cleaners, he looks for petty and stup. I'd lines and accusations. He will hardly focus on discussions because he's empty

Desyner:
That's what many user aacount on Nairaland does. How come I don't hop from one account to another or what's chasing you from one account to another ? . . . l o l

Keep ranting like an immature kid. What is my business or yours with ppl having many user accounts? If you choose to do so it is not my bother, you telling me you don't is also irrelevant to me. If you have good stuffs, I will respect it from the quality of your submissions. That's why I am not always disposed to have any conversations with you, because it ends up being counter-productive

Desyner:
I hope you are not mapet hiding under new handle to go the usual route.
If you know anything about what you typed trash about you would have observed that the first commercial oil well discovery in Nigeria was done by private individual, Shell.
The trend remains the same all over the world.
If you have nothing constructive and sensible to say no need going petty.

Lay of your crude idi.ocy. How is it that when people expose your shallowness, you accuse them of being Mapet? is Mapet hunting you in your dreams?

In the last half a century, oil exploration and licensing business model has changed more than 3x globally, yet you refer to Shell-olobiri, which you even got muddled up, as the business model currently in operation today?

It will be more honorable to simply admit that you are not knowledgeable in this area, that foolish arguments

nuttyhnic:
When you are behind your keyboard, one can confidently make ignorant comments, do you even know me, or what I do and people I've worked with? Did you even bother to ask what I might define as an advanced web application?

I'm yet to go through the website fully but I can see its not even mobile responsive. For a 700million naira website? Save yourself the shame even if you were part of the project but this is the internet, you can speak the truth anonymously

I don't need to know you or what you do. If you really have experience in enterprise solutions of this magnitude, it will be demonstrated in your comments.

You are yet to go through but you can see is not mobile responsive is your basis of appraisal? Some of you need to lay off what you have little or no knowledge of.

Desyner:
@Mapet, no need getting unncessarily emotional.
In your points I honestly think you involved too many needless facts that don't apply to Nigeria.

If you argue that govt has no business building and running refineries then the govt equally has no business prospecting for oil via a state owned entity(NNPC). In fact it will be far more sensible for a private entity to prospect for oil - a gamble - than for a govt to prospect for oil.
The story of Nigerias first oil well, Oloibiri is there. Since I have been reading stuff at random I hardly hear of govt prospecting for oil. The covention is one oil magnate is always brainstorming and doing the gambling, the govt sits back, regulate, and eat the good. There may be tax window or other incentives for the discoverer of oil reserve correct me if I am wrong.

If you are going to make an argument, why not commit to making arguments that don't beggar logic? You want to show you're knowledgeable in Oil business but you make submissions that are so ridiculous. How can you argue that "..... then the govt equally has no business prospecting for oil via a state owned entity(NNPC)" . You can do yourself a lot of good, Google NNPC, know how it's set up before making statements that gives you away.

You have been reading stuffs at random you claim, yet you demonstrate shallow understanding of how oil exploration in Nigeria works. You keep conjuring stuffs...... "one oil magnate brainstorms and gambles"...... and that is how oil exploration is done to you?

I was highly impressed with what the website was for. Actually the idea was very innovative. As someone who studied Geology, I immediately keyed into the conceived idea of having an Integrated Automation and Interactive GIS-based Web Portal, coupled with business analytics and statistical data integration, that would be awesome in today's ever growing data analytics. Truly these stuffs cost a lot. So i checked up twitter later on and saw the link to the portal to see things for myself(via NEITI Twitter Handle).

http://portal.minesandsteel.gov.ng

Lo and behold, I logged in with my phone and did the usual login and the rest. The first thing I noticed was that the GIS-based portal alone was not enabled on mobile. I thought within myself that a portal of such supposed cash-gulping funds should FULLY be Mobile and PC-enhanced. This website, designed to be beneficial to mining investors for payments of royalties, online queries, GIS-based etc should have all its components FULLY supported on Mobile and PC.

I didn't let that weigh me down, I opened my PC to access the Website. I was able to see the GIS portal link on the top right of the portal's home page. I was delighted to click on this link, it went through. The next page displayed Web-based GIS maps of the areas of interest (Admin Boundary, Geology, Topology etc). I clicked on to view...... The links were completely truncated.
What I saw was quite embarrassing, a page that would later lead to another page where I'd download a picture of 1 kilobyte (1kb) for what he called a GIS-based web portal GIS data maps are high-end quality maps, in megabytes for a good visualization and interpretation.

This goes for all the other areas of interest highlighted on the map.

The idea was good, but the implementation and set up was horrible.



This is so not right, and I'm once again disappointed.

Bros,

First this is not a contest of wits. Issues you put up here are things a user can report to the support. Conventionally new deployments will undergo some itches while trying to stabilise. As an "ex-professional" I have discovered some flaws, but as someone who has led large implementation projects, user-feedback will help stabilize it once it is in use full-stream.

When you earlier said you were going to do "forensics", I was expecting more than this.....but let's keep it simple. Did you get into the "collaboration room"?

ivandragon:
lol...

if you didn't, you wouldn't bother asking that question...


take your peacock posturing elsewhere...

moth that thinks itself a bird...


lol...

Fantastic, so you and I can rest it. It's not a "power game"........

Miss me

ivandragon:
you didn't read initially, get the bias out of your head first.


I see what you are doing...

trying to turn this into a troll fest...

lol...

Oh! Seriously Bros, you think I take you serious?

ivandragon:
what is wrong with you chaps?

so a fully functional ICT centre is now a website?


an ICT centre that provides internet access for over 5000 people daily?


haba mapet... you used to be much more thorough in your analysis...

when did your standards start dropping to this extent?

You backtrack again...... you mean you want to compare an "ICT Centre" with the mine's portal? Oh I forgot, it's merely "website" to you

ivandragon:
http://portal.minesandsteel.gov.ng


stop being clever by less than half...

from the website, I can access any other page or portal on it...

Oh! so you have change your position. It is now a portal and not a website....... wonders shall never end

ivandragon:
so says one who has no sense of rational reasoning when it comes to defending his/her preferred rogues in power...

You see, this is where we are different. I am here to share and benefit knowledge.......you on the other side see it as attacking and defending power. No wonder you make "intellectual blunders" virtually all the time

greenek:
did i in anyway imply fraud from what you quoted?

the comment i implied fraud, didnt i show a link supporting my claim.

you can pass out info without insulting one. your field of specialty is not my field of specialty, but clouding your comments in technical terms does no good to anybody other than making you think you are better and making others think that you are a fool who's bad at communicating sanely

1. If there is no implication of fraud then why are we all on this topic>
2. If you think I am clouding my comments in technical terms after my somewhat elaborate explanations, then what else do you expect me to do?
3. This is not a personal contest. I declared my knowledge earlier on as a premise of my position of argument. FYI I left IT in 8yrs ago, so this I only shared my knowledge covering the period I was in the field.
4. You think I am a fool who is bad at communicating? Sorry about that. I only took your challenge asking me to elaborate.......other than that I suggest you can conveniently avoid me going forward

ivandragon:
I guess you checked out the site, but rather than be truthful, you bolster your dumb assertions & oppinion with misguided braggadocio...

.....for someone who can not even navigate to the correct location of the portal

clevadani:
That's bs. I am a fullstack developer and that amount is outrageous no matter the complexities involved in the development of the portal.

I am also a supporter of this current govt, but let's stop deceiving ourselves and say the truth at all times. Only then can we progress as a nation.

Bros,

With due respect, can you explicate a model to guide on what should be the ideal cost of the project?
