We are not complaining, Yoruba get appointed in boards in Igbo companies but fail to reciprocate the gesture.

don't appoint them na and see if the business will stand. you think AWO free education didn't have meaning? go ahead employ non Yoruba in Yoruba markets(without which your business will crash) and see

Saintsquare:
has it gotten this bad? Jesu o alaye yi tin ya were die die o

yes o
flip side of freedom of speech

globemoney:
Can you publish the boards of those organizations you mentioned as I will be publishing those of gtb and Redeemed Church shortly. It’s very foolish to say organizations can do anything they like since they are private, the same reason FG introduced federal character applies to private sectors too which is regulated by FG.
This is not about emotions, something is wrong somewhere

yeah with you

Cooly100:
Nigeria would have even been a better place if all tribes play the games the way the Yorubas do....

I have checked the boards of must banks...Zenith, Access, UBA, First Bank, etc You will always see people from diverse regions...but not GTB a tier one bank. The same happens in their mega-churches...

When will the gullible IGBOS learn?

Igbos please shine your eyes. Please ensure you use Igbos banks, churches, schools, etc, just like the "suffersticated" Yorubas...our MOST industrious and educated neighbours

they realised they cannot survive without Yoruba meanwhile Yoruba can survive without them

globemoney:
The whole world can now see the tribalists. I always say that these people are all tribalist by default, every one of them

the whole world can now see these ppl that get appointment by tribe instead of merit

globemoney:
I have just gone through the board composition of Guarantee Trust Bank otherwise known as GTB and the Redeemed Church only to discover there is no federal character in the composition of these boards, as a matter of fact, no Igbo man is part of these boards whereas most of the contributors of these organizations are people from the east. This is uncharitable.
I think that the time has come in this country that any organization that excludes a people from its organization board should not be allowed to operate in that region.
I’m particularly disappointed in Redeemed Church being a Christian organization. The federal government must do something about this immediately!

they don't merit it.
now we know who federal character is helping apart from north.

omooba969:
No it's not. Nigerians deserve the politicians they get cos many are devoid of reason.

The day we voters design one of the these vagabonds in power with jungle justice, they will start to take us serious.

It's not gonna be easy cos there will be reprisal with force of arms but the people always overcome.

We are more than them!

but they have more bullets than us and nobody wan die

Khd95:
This is pure evil

how
the people are collecting it instead of stoning him

fix road and hospital and watch voters vote for another person that shares rice[color=#000099][/color]

Oh you think everyone is like you without principles

She's clearly not a woman of easy virtues

Some ladies can't tolerate those kinda behaviour from men

what does virtue have to do with stupidly resigning
will she resign from every job
she should go and start her own business
all she had to do was not respond till he calls her name
dumb snowflake she is

obowunmi:
Even with no job or money, you can still smash freely.

omohayek:
So you're openly admitting that you're "entitled" to Niger-Delta oil in exactly the same way an armed robber is "entitled"? That the oil is "yours" simply because you have the guns and say so?

is the oil 'ours' or not
you only get 13%
so I say it's 87% ours

I didn't know it was possible to be so stupid, but well done to you, sir.

you allowed outsiders to take your oil without a fight and when you fought your warriors sold you out for peanuts
you're the stupid ones

I see you're a subscriber to the old "might makes right" school of moral philosophy.

subscription is irrelevant when it's fact
guns rule, everytime

Very well then, since we're dispensing with the pretense that normal ethical considerations apply to you and your ilk from the north,

funny how you think telling the truth as it is makes one from the north

I hope you'll keep your mouth firmly shut should the day ever arise when all those southerners you see as mere "prey" decide to become the hunters, and turn you into the hunted.

and they will be hunting me and I will be looking ba
selling groundnut while they are hunting me
I see how stupid you are

You seem to think that the fact your people swamped the Nigerian Army through the quota system somehow serves as proof of your innate northern military prowess,

political prowess
same coin different sides

but we'll see how well all those antiquated AK-47s and obsolete Mig-21s work for you and your quota-system brothers in 21st century warfare conducted with drones, missiles and satellites ...

how many of these things does south have
don't forget north have more money to buy same plus the headstart they have in Ak'S

and Chinese still fly MiGs dum dum
anything other than raptors and above is moot

The oil and gas not free. The end users have to pay. Nobody has to pay for a river "naturally" flow. As long there's enough water pushing turbines the plant works.

I never talk environmental impact o. somebody always pays

SouthEastFacts:
And someone that calls himself sensible wants us to vote for this corruption again? God forbid!

yet you want to vote for ppl that were buying bullet proof car for their children wedding

CharleyBright:
Lord have Mercy!!!
Stealing and milking the Nation dry.
These thievings have been in existence for a long time.
And perhaps may have gotten worse under this so called government of integrity.

how can stealing 100% and hiding it be worse than stealing 100% and splurging it in your face. (Dubai weddings et al during Jonathan era)
stealing is stealing

yaki84:
under buhari corruption now uses AK47 n pump action gun, riding in bullet proof g-wagon.

God bless us.

mm mmm
so under gej nko
they were using catapult ba?

NaijaEfcc:
Mr man you think this is a joke? some group of people are trying to loot our common wealth, no make me vex for you

trying?!!!! abi they have
besides what is not joking going to do about it

NaijaEfcc:
Be careful and we need to raise our voices. DSS budgets N2.2bn for social media mining. $8m?

what will our voices do? we've been raising it for 57 years

Blue3k:
The oil and gas not free. The end users have to pay. Nobody has to pay for a river "naturally" flow. As long there's enough water pushing turbines the plant works.

yet we pay kainji. it's delicate choice. build for 10 and fuel with 10 for next hundred years (1000 total)or look for 100 (World Bank loan with interest ) to build then be free from fuel cost although water levels are going down.
it's like (I-pass-my-neighbour) Vs solar or wind turbine
one fast and cheap but will chop fuel silently
other expensive and slow to implement but fuel free with 20 year payback period
how many of have that kind of free cash
besides lots of gas being flared in ND

booblacain:
you did not particularly say why modular refineries will not work. Are you saying a state like say Edo cannot get investors to build a refinery that would carter for Edo state alone?

forget the state. make d governor and him cronies use dia loot to build personal one gabadaya and create jobs

texazzpete:
if you truly thought that modular refineries could even come close to meeting demand for this country, you have MUCH bigger problems to worry about than APC.

We will keep importing until the Dangote Refinery is fully operational.

what about 1000 modularS, they'd be enough

baralatie:
if you know the conditions that where set down for the establishment, license to initiate interest, license to build,,license to operate, license to sell and all kind of obstacles.you would understand it is virtually impossible to see modular refineries unless nnpc is totally scraped of its powers like nitel

they should build in Togo and Cameron along border

Adminisher:
You have to understand how international EPC works. You do studies, you do front end design, you do detailed design, you specify equipment, you select OEMs, then they manufacture, then they invite you to come and test, then they transport, then you errect on site, then you commission.

Does this appear to you to be a two-year thing?

People are so ignorant in Nigeria yet talk, talk and talk.

The modular refinery idea itself is very STUPID. We have said many times it is uneconomic and will not work. This national tendency of looking for short cuts will not work.

Refinery business can only be done profitably at scale ( >250000 barrels a day) and should produce many by products.

Anyway thank you for knowing Danone refinery will not run till 2020.

then why do they build modular refineries if it's only profitable at scale. you can say more profitable but not completely un profitable. at least cost of transport to and fro will substitute for lack of scale. nearness to market will offset any other refining cost

omohayek:
It’s no surprise that many northerners have long had a bizarre entitlement mentality,

why is it bizarre
do you not feel entitled to insult ppl on a faceless forum
do you not feel entitled to oil you didn't put there, cannot extract, refuse to process and won't lay your life down for? why then shouldn't Nigerian who found oil in Nigerian borders and is willing to do all the above.

if armed robbercome to you house
tell him he is bizarrely entitled

in spite of how far behind they lag in all indices of development: Nigeria’s very existence since 1914 has always been about using southern economic resources to subsidise northern backwardness. What is unusual in this particular character’s case is that he’s too stupid to even try to hide that bloated sense of entitlement from public view.

and you're so stupid to think low development indices is a point against entitlement
humans are entitled to whatever they can get away with especially when they have guns and knives and a cowardly greedy lazy prey.

they're entitled to the oil
go and beat them with Nairaland insults
let's see how that will change anything in next 50 years

only men are entitled to shit not peons and grammar speakers,men with guns

Desyner:
God bless you for putting it straight to oga Blue3k2.
It would have made sense that the isolated north sends her own raw materials (mostly food stuff ) down south to industries with easy gas supply to run that will process them, then they get exported to the their foreign destination.
When this is fruitful the proceeds of the export can be supplement with oil money to start building pipelines that can transmit gas and even human beings back to the north.
The problem is they want to hold the south down and overtake us with our own resources. Oga Blue3k don't see through their plans and probably think they will leave the south alone after getting what they want, but absolute power corrupts absolutely and they will islamize blue3k2 when they have what they seek. Lol

how is it your resource?
did you put it there ?
are you willing to kill for said resources?
are you willing to die for said resources?

if you answer no to all those questions then it's not yours.
sucks but that's reality not nairaland wishful thinking

Desyner:
omohayek, blue3k2, richeso, obi1kenobi.
Please do you guys understand the bold part ?

follow his analogy from previous mentions to get it

Blue3k:
Hydro less expensive but sure if you say so.

dams not cheap in short run but free fuel in long run

baralatie:
using Nnpc funds to sponsor projects whether in the north,south,east or west is an economic fraud.
that is why the idea of 4600MW gas plant is madness. Nnpc does not have such powers.
yes it can pursue community social responsibility of sponsoring projects WITHIN its area of operation which covers the social wellbeing of the community of oil and gas exploration such as education, healthcare,road,job opportunities but not to usurp the responsibility power of the state

so nnpc only provides fuel in Niger delta(nnpc o not nndc) . na wa o

If cramming is so easy, why didn't you cram too and end up as best graduating student?

cos I don't put effort into what will not yield. unlike some ppl

As for the beauty selling products, even ugly people sell products daily.

so why are they complaining about how much the beauty is getting if they are selling so much. they sell millions beauties sell billions. who do you think will be paid more? life's not fair my friend

Most of the so called beauty queens are not even beautiful in the real sense.

maybe not to you or me (I don't like toothpicks) but
they are by the organiser and consumers(popular demand) so the market has deemed them beautiful, don't hate

The best graduating students who can't produce cannot because of lack of resources.

there are always resources
you just got to know when you see them
if they can't then it means their best graduation is useless to themselves and our economy

Provide them with resources and they will excel.

if they are not resourceful they are useless.
tell me which resource they need and I'll prove toyou that laziness is their name

who will pay you for becoming best graduating student in philosophy when we need farmers

doesn't matter if you're best doctor if it's mechanic market needs

we're just training ppl we don't need YET
putting cart before horse

Blue3k:
If they aren't equal so what? Is anyone stopping private sector from building more plants in These places. The mention of Dangote and Sanusi is too shoe that people will wail no matter what. Go look at thread and see for yourself. The generalization is true.

I don't know who the private sector operators will be. The government doesnt even know till they get offers. The story doesn't even have a date or timeline. What's the point losing shirt over an approval. The technical issues aren't impossible to remedy. If Nigeria can pipe gas to Ghana to fuel their power plants then these places can run just as easily. Its really that simple as long as nobody blows up pipelines.

The West African gas pipeline is 678 km and works fine.



The projects are pie in sky till the can get investors to sign on. Anyone losing their shirt over this is tressong themselves out for nothing. If Niger Republic has gas get it from them. Nigeria already does import crude from them. I would think it makes more sense to make use of the tons coal in North. That would be quicker and wasier way to power the plants.

Uh me I'm just preaching in case any ignorant Nairalander mistakenly get there at least he will not have excuse.
if I reach there Pere na to turn my constituency to Singapore fa even it's just my village or local govt. to hell with other Nigerians if they refuse to imitate

iyke926:
With that kind of money, I would be either in Brazil living the life of a rich nigga or port to a much secured country and invest in some business.
