Foreign Affairs › Re: Angola Exits OPEC by michlins(m): 5:08pm On Dec 21, 2023 |
nairalanda1: Anyone hailing Angola on leaving OPEC...should know it is bad news for Nigeria.
Oil prices fell on the news. Know what that means? It means Angola is free to produce and pump as much oil as it wants without any pesky OPEC quota...which means lower oil prices long term because of the resultant glut.
Angola is also free to sell crude at a lower price than the OPEC benchmark if it wants...especially if it needs the money now. (That's part of how Russia survives US sanctions, sports fans).
This weakens our revenue stream drastically, meaning we have to take more and more loans, or the government would have to raise your taxes well well, in the short term at least.
So, don't rejoice.

The thing that even scares me is the fact that everyone is discovering oil. Zambia, Uganda and even Benin have all found oil. Yes, it is not as high as Nigeria, but more oil in the market means lower prices for oil...which means lower revenue.
Modified 2
Know who benefits from a glut induced low crude price? Europe and the USA. It enables fuel prices there to fall, and their governments benefit as a result. you Sabi book and brains like your own is one of the reasons I missed nairaland when it went down |

WhiteWood: I am curious and still trying to know what happened to diplomacy and effective leadership during the tenure of this man as the governor of Anambra State back then. His current "I TOO KNOW BEHAVIOUR"is nothing more than a strategic game to achieve his political objectives. DON'T BE FOOLED. his behaviour was what Anambra needed. His predecessor was kidnapped allegedly by his godfather. When he came on board, same godfathers were still holding the state by the jugular. To do anything meaningful, he had to overcome impeachment, strike actions and what not. His first few years were filled with turmoil and stuff. I know what I just said wouldn't mean anything to you because you have already formed your opinion about him but I just want to put it out there for anyone with open mind to understand what truly happened |
Romance › Re: How Can I Claim My Child From My Baby Mama? by michlins(m): 5:57am On Dec 18, 2023 |
Oga, just thank God you escaped such a family. God just saved you but you didn't know realise that. A family where the mother calls the shot and can decide whether or not the daughter will marry from certain areas. Without being told, this is the case of Anambra versus Abakalika something. Anambra people are just like that
What you should do is simple, move forward with your life. The burden of raising the child will be much and the girl will seek you out. No be Nigeria again? |
