The Dangote Refinery and the newly renovated Port Harcourt refinery are equipped to produce Jet fuel, or aviation fuel.

Use your brain, and follow the news before injecting your ignorance and negativity.

You have told people to use their brain, how many times this early morning. Seems it it only you using yours abi?

Originalsly:
Let me accept all you said is true of BAT .... that was yearssss ago. Does he still have all these qualities you are raving about? Do you realize he is no longer physically nor mentally on top of the mountain?.... that he is a just a few steps more to reach the bottom? I say no more.

@ topic ... it's great to have such a port ..... but is this really to our benefit as a nation? ... or more beneficial to others? What is the cost of the port and who do we have to repay? Is it ours and leased?... is it ours and a foreign company was contracted to operate it? ... is the income generated ours? Stacks and stacks of containers coming in with merchandise.... what is going out in return? If very little then we'll have a problem .

Google search says the port is a ppp arrangement with tolarams group to build and operate the place for 45 years. Lagos has 20% and npa 5%, tolarams 75%.

Nice one.
But this one npa is running the place, hope it wount be the same jibity and confusion faced at normal ports?
I thought Lagos state will run the place.

Nigerians suffering will never go in vain after all everybody will rejoice soon.
May good crippled the IPOB/Obi evil agenda of ruling over patriotic Nigerians.

If you don't mention Obi ten times a day, seems your blokos wount stand. Guess you had to start early to perform over night.

Nepotism isn’t only in government, it also involves private individuals. If this structure was sited in a viable location it would have done the investor and the state in general more good than siting it in an unknown location where it’s not fulfilling its potentials just because he wants it in his village

Well, if you go to the villages, not just in the south east but also other parts of the country, you find multi-billion/million naira houses built not taking viability into consideration. Most are visited once a year by their owners (if at all) or even longer buy owners staying abroad. The person dies over time and their kids have nothing to do with Nigeria they all schooled and continued live abroad. Some attempt to sell those houses but they have little resale value based on location.
I really don't think nepotism qualifies on private property built with private money though.
I personally think it was a wrong location to build such edifice when it could have been locate in Abuja or Lagos. But he builds it in Lagos, same folks will say he is running to Lagos. The usuall gist.
Anyway, I think by the time the Dr recovers from his recent political heavy spending, he will reinvest in that place.

Asgard13:
To end this..

Inec must include drug test in subsequent elections as requisite for contesting elections in Nigeria

Next senate must pass a bill to this effect

Just a regular blood test and one if the 3 top line politicians will surely fail.

Good but as a "clergy" no need to publicize.it

Clergy?
Nna you neva watch this guy MOJO before? Niggar is a heavy nacker, Mr bumper to bumper. A pie with a cream in it expert(if you know you know).

The headline should read, Nigerian porn star visits fregene.
Anyway, that should not overshadow the good deed of giving gifts.

Coldie:
What point are u trying to make?

"It’s not poor maintenance culture it’s what nepotismcan cause. Why would they see such a big project instead of siting it in a feasible location u look for a non feasible location and site it cause u want the project to be in ur village"
How is it nepotism, where a private individual takes his money he earned abroad legitimately abroad and builds a building in his village? He is not government, neither government resources that should his choice over any other location.
They way you wrote give the impression the building was put there by some goverment official etc showing nepotism by putting public money in a non viable place.
I put the two links to show otherwise that it is a private investment in case you don't know.

Nothing like nepotism here. It is a privately owned property built by Dr Maduka, owner of Las Vagas pain Institute.
He lost the last election to soludo. The man had the intention of making that place an international medical research center where people in the medical field around the world will research African local medications ie herbs, medicine etc. Something similar IITA in ibadan.
Had he won the election, he would have done much for the state considering the millions of dollars he has invested in the state especially his village.
The man is a multi millionaire. Has huge purpose built medical facilities in several states in the US.

BigYash:
I swear. Who dey date girl wen dey school dey try o.. From students,to lecturers.. Steady collection. Its well o

Just blank your mind, most knack. Especially those weh go de abroad leave their wives here. Or some go drop wife abroad claiming she de school.

It's penis captivus

Yeah that one is there ie PC, but this one seems to be there too.
Actually I would have thought they should have called a doctor to inject the lady with a relaxants to calm her totex muscles.

BigYash:
That woman husband suppose carry like two guys wen get strong head follow body.. That guy face suppose don change form,from slaps wen he go dey collect. One of the slaps for fit make he preek comot sef . The husband no be guy man

Hmm. In this kind situation, that is a very wrong thing for man pikin to do. No point in assaulting another man over the woman (Even though some men yeye).
Abi no be the wife open leg for the man? If she no gree when the man toast am, how will he see her pant?
The man and his paddies assult the nacker, he dies or he goes to report he was assaulted with all the evidence of injury no be another case be that?
Abeg this kind woman is not worth fighting and loosing your sanity or freedom over.
I once said on this forum, young men should endeavor to do DNA once their kids are born. Make sure all your kids are yours. Then you can have peace of mind. If your wife decides to misbehave, at least you know your kids are yours. Don't kill yourself over woman matter because at least atleast 80% if not more of married women knack especially the newly married young ladies. Do you expect them to immediate leave their sugar daddies that have been giving them money? Taking care of them? Nna, some of my paddies still nack them, infact it is the ladies that disturb them with nudes etc. Nursing mothers oh, 3 after giving birth them don de disturb. One was advicing the lady to stop breast feeding, that it is 1 year, say the pikin go finish the breast and e no go set again. She de show suger daddy bobby when her oga son go work.

Poor maintenance culture as usual with all infrastructures in the country...

Na private man build am. Dr Maduka of Las Vagas pain Institute.

sapele914:
They carried all the business to Lagos State, Yet they don’t want their landlords in Lagos State to be President of Nigeria, they wan they drag position with Oga, yet ordinary 1 building they cannot maintain?

Where is princeofLagos, Racoon & penguin2, including , Village man Peter Obi with his Fidelity Bank HQ @ Kofo Abayomi Victoria Island Lagos State wants to be opening mouth with citi men that gave him the opportunity to do business?

Even the Portuguese talk am, “Eko Oni Baje”.

Oga, that building is not owned by government. It is a privately place owned by Dr Maduka, the US based doctor that owns Las Vagas pain Institute. He built that place to establish a medical reseach institute for where doctors will come in to do what they do. He also built houses for villagers, heck I hear he rebuilt his whole town, providing electricity, police station, churches, fire stations, water works, roads and the rest. He ran for governor in the last election that produced soludo but lost.
I wonder what his has to do with Lagos and the usual rants.

Nice one as usual.

Zonefree:
She's an Olosho... She got paid for her services, what's the noise all about

I taya.
Olosho of many may years.
While not supporting the alleged randy pastor, she obviously wants to use him as retirement plan. She must have blackmailed him but he did not shake body or maybe tired of paying.
She should take her evidence to court, truth of the matter is that pastor has not commited any crime sleeping with her legally other than the moral issue. Can she even prove in court that they had an amorous relationship? Fatoyinbo and that musicians wife comes to mind.
Why has the actress not gone after the hundred of men she had "relationships" with (if one can even call it that) since the late 90s.
How does she prove in court her current health issue came from the pastor? Did he give her hiv? Does he have hiv?
Abeg, she should be busy hiring a lawyer or reaching out to pacify him codedly.

Tsolutionjoseph:
it is issue of Buhari or simply Nigeria politicians, not APC or PDP, is the states govern by PDP any better than others, stop deceiving your with your Peter Obi will do wonders. They are the same, but power must come to south

Oga, Peter Obi might make a difference in this fuel matter.
I watched the pat utomi interview the other day.
See, Peter is a businessman, a trader (mildly speaking). Why must Nnpc be the sole importer of petrol? Does it make sense? Why not open up the market to everybody that has the money to source and import petrol until we buildup refining capacity. All you do is goverment is regulate the quality of petrol. Abroad you have as much as 3 grades sold in fuel stations. The premium unleaded for high end cars cost a lot more. You have the cheaper grade for older vehicles.
Let businessmen, traders, companies import and sell, competition will bring down the prices as well as refinaries that will come online as business men will see reasons to invest in local production. Government has no business using our scarce resources to import fuel, running down the country and placing us in 200b usd debt.

Angelfrost:
An average Nigerian is already mentally programmed to suffer and accept suffering as a normal pattern of life.

That's why I don't render help anymore except strictly within my tiny circle of close family and friends.

I can't even remember the last time I gave alms to these Beggars from the North!

Oga, this you policy is the reasonable one jare.

olaeffect:
I agree with you.
But the CBN should be bold and take responsibility, instead of lying and pitching the masses against the banks.

CBN wants us to go cashless, but they themselves in collaboration with the FG keeps bringing out policies that negates cashless policy.
How can you instroduce stamp duty or electronic fee charge when you are about encouraging your citizens to go cashless?
We not supposed to be talking of incentives and cash backs to encourage people to go cashless?

That is why I am of the opinion that most of our leaders don't know shit.

Use a quarter of the money to print new notes to give cash back incentives to people that do cashless transactions below N100k and watch and see how Nigerians will start buying bread and even N200.00 airtime with ATM cards and other alternative cashless channels

"CBN wants us to go cashless, but they themselves in collaboration with the FG keeps bringing out policies that negates cashless policy.

Exactly. It puzzles me.
One wonders the thinking.
A policy is made with one hand then discouraged with the other.

Those who learn a trade do houseboy for their master at home.Infact, learning a trade is also a boy boy.
No be Ibo women dey use hot pressing iron burn their housemaids who are also igbos?

Yes I agree with you, igbo women seem to be very notorious with illtreatment of HGs.
Most times the hg are kids of relatives or little underage girls they get from poor families in the village they promise the parents they will send to school, feed and take care off.
That is the difference between those little igbo girls and the older professional ones that register for jobs with agents and are give employment as HGs, nannies and the rest.
Go to any of those agents, hardly will you find an igbo, they are mostly benue, ogoja ur cross rivers, and recently kaduna christain ladies (relocating due to insecurity).

Jezuz
You actually took time to write this even quoting so many Bible pages?
Menn, some folks are trully built unique.
Guess it is a past time or scholarly indulgence.
Anyway, quite impressive.

Haba, Nigerias have been thrown to the dogs. From early stage you are programed not to expect much.
PDP bot chairman claims to have "responsibly" blown 1. 4 billion on accommodation for bot members!
Thise are the kind of people we have in the helm of affairs. It is not as if the money is not there. Only a mumu will say Nigeria does not have money. No moni, no moni, but their kids are abroad living large, they fly first class, private jet, live in high rise serviced apartments at at cannery warf etc, yet we will see folks of this forum claiming no money as naija "exports nothing".
Supprisenly this same copper might be one of those shouting Appdp on this forum.
Well as I always say, we deserve what we get, once day we will have sense. Meanwhile the righteous will survive.

olaeffect:
Most people don't know that this is the game CBN is playing.
The CBN just want to use the banks to play a dirty game with Nigerians.

Trillions in cash has been moved to CBN by banks based on deposit by customers.
Most of these customers are not interested in keeping such monies in the banks, they simply just want it exchange.
Whereas CBN from onset don't plan for this monies to go back out in cash, therefore banks are not being given adequate new notes.
Banks too on their part have refused to take all their operational cash to CBN since by law they still have upto 31th January.
And any bank that foolishly move all it's stock in trade (cash) to CBN with guarantee of getting new notes will most definitely loose it's customers to banks that would at least be able to give it's customer cash even if it is old note uptil 31st January

Nigerians have not seen drama yet until 31th January. That is when the banks will open up to their customers and Nigerians will know/understand the wahala CBN is cooking for Nigerians.

At least zenith bank has spoken small English that has very deep meaning: i.e banks are note to exchange your old note to new notes, they are to collect your old note and pay you new notes when you make withdraw And we all know that the CBN wants to limited use of physical cash, therefore the banks are not obligated by law to meet you cash demands after 31st January because you are supposed to use alternative channels in the first place.

This new notes issue will just be like the border closure issue; well intended but poorly executed by people that do not know shit

The amount of cash in circulation is too much. I think what the cbn is doing a step in the right direction despite all the k legs. The foundation is being recasted. Cash is no longer a serious means of payment as it is expensive to produce and handle. It is untraceable and could be used to finance illegal activities. The most any Nigerian should have in cash is 10k, all other transactions can easily be done electronically, I see a lot of pos and payment machines with NFC although I don't see folks using them. Zenith bank and gt bank cards are often used to make non contactless payments abroad, so why is it not used here?
I am no economist, but I think issues such as inflation, criminal activities, corruption, terrorism will be curtailed through the curbing of cash in circulation.

Is this the money emefiele spent billion in colouring?likewise the 1000 naira note is staining the white clothes if u keep it with white clothes and water touches it..what sort of nation is this oh Lord..

My brodaa, I weak.
The issue is that will the coloring money be accepted back by the bank? Will the next trader accept it? Is so over look and pass it on.
Disappointing as it seems, life goes on. You follow naija and its ways you will just wound yourself with high blood pressure.

Can you imagine? What talents? Talents that got the country into debt, $200b worth of debt?
Fashola as gov of Lagos was no rocket scientist. The state has potentials as former federal capital and current commercial capital. Huge taxable population, businesses, vehicles, ports etc. A country within a country. Billions in revenue waiting to be tapped. Sabinus, fashola, PA ajasco, even my houseboy could have performed well as governor. Afterall it is not hard to point and say build a bridge here, build a road there since there is excess cash.
Where you would have seen dexterity in management and governance is if you had placed so called "wonderboys" or "talents" (I call them overratted), in charge of states such as anambra, ekiti, kebbi, ebony, Osun, Benue et,. States where you faced financial, revenue, debt etc crises, where you had to work with scarce resources and still make a mark.
Was fashola not in charge of electricity? With his blab about 6 months? Is he not in charge of roads? I drove to iperu, mechanic had to work on my suspension when I got back.
Its not all bad because you can see the inprint of Osibanjo on Lagos judiciary till date. Where the arm of government was upgraded, the facilities, processes etc.
Could it be our problem in Nigeria is not placing the round peg in the round hole?
Who are the ministers of eg petroleum? buhari and a fellow called Temipre Silvia. NO BE JUJU BE THAT?

This lady is just overreacting ...

Calm down and let the boy tell you the kind of job that he's doing before you start jumping into conclusions! ...

Questioning the source of his wealth is wonderful, but atleast give him a chance to explain ...

No be every internet business be yahoo ...

To explain what? As a student? Explain that he deals in bitcoins or what? Or he won betnaija?
Not just the boy, but his group of friends certainly do not sound like people any legitimate stuff can come out of.
The funny thing is that someone here was berating me for shielding my kids from mixing with their peers at my street, for sending them to private universities where they mix with like minded youths.
Certainly nothing is perfect, but with the moral decay in the country now, parents must act!
Kudos to this woman, she kept her integrity. What if police arrests them for armed robbery tomorrow, efcc grabs them etc. If that woman takes the car, she will be charged along with him.

See, they have state backing. It is a means of empowerment. They can also be used for political gains when needed.
Have you noticed a police checkpoint might be close by but they will turn a blind eye.
The whole Lagos is shared amongst them. If you doubt park along any road in day time or at night. Even 2am, they must appear.
Weeks ago my light truck broke down around Ejigbo area. They refused letting the driver fix it. They harrased him, a fellow hustling Yoruba man. He called me that they needed 30k! Omo, I got on the phone spoke with their leader respectfully, that it was hustle all of us were doing. He should please accept homage of 5k, not that it was anything, but just for them to wet ground with some whiskey. Next call I received was that they pushed the truck for the driver and it started. Lucky me.
