Investment / Good News As Indonesia Set To Build 10,000 Barrels Per Day Refinery In Nigeria by obioraop(m): 6:51pm On Jun 22, 2017 |
- An Indonesian firm, PT Intim Perkasa Nigeria Ltd has indicated interest to build a refinery in Nigeria - The Head of Investor Relations of PTPP (Persero) Tbk, Mr. Adi Hartadi said the proposed refinery would be located in Akwa Ibom state - The refinery would have refining capacity for 10,000 barrels per stream day An Indonesian firm, PT Intim Perkasa Nigeria Ltd, a subsidiary of PT Intim Perkasa, Indonesia, has indicated interest to build a refinery in Nigeria. Daily Trust reports that Mr. Adi Hartadi, the Head of Investor Relations of PTPP (Persero) Tbk, partners to PT Intim Perkasa Nigeria Ltd, who disclosed this in Abuja during a business meeting with the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, stated that the proposed refinery would be located in Akwa Ibom state. NAIJ.com gathered that the refinery, a modular one, will have refining capacity for 10,000 barrels per stream day. Mr Hartadi stated that their company has more than 50 years of experience in construction and engineering and it was desirous of diversifying into downstream operations in Nigeria. Responding, the NNPC Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, who was represented by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Refineries and Petrochemicals, Engr. Anigbor Kragha, stated that NNPC placed high premium on investment in the nation’s refining sector. The GMD stated that the Corporation had a Greenfield Refinery Department that specialized in new refinery projects and also provided professional support to potential investors in modular refinery in the country in line with the Federal Government policy on modular refineries. He explained that the country’s three refineries with a combined capacity of 445,000bpd could not function optimally over the years due to lack of investment, adding that NNPC would give necessary support to the Indonesian Company. He explained that given Nigeria’s expected population, by 2025, more than 40 million litres of petrol would be required for local consumption, adding that the combined capacity of the nation’s 3 refineries would only be able to satisfy just above 50 per cent of the projected local demand. He expressed optimism that with this kind of investment coming steadily, Nigeria could serve as a regional hub of refined petroleum products for West Africa and beyond. NAIJ.com had previously reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) crushed the price of diesel by 42 per cent. Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the group general manager, public affairs division of the NNPC on Sunday, June 18 said it had crushed the price of diesel by 42 per cent. He said diesel also known as Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), had a huge down-slide over the last six months, following key strategic interventions by NNPC. https://www.naij.com/amp/1111450-good-news-indonesia-set-build-10000-barrels-day-refinery-nigeria.html |

Earlier today, this church form trended on social media. The 'sacrificial giving form' was given out by the pastor in charge of Region 14 of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to church members. This of course sparked outrage on social media. The Church headquarters has released a statement reacting to the controversy. See the statement after the cut...

Am not a bit surprised about his comments am a lot surprised at the lack of in-depth in the statements, disregarding common sense and reasoning. He just opens his mouth and say stuff, no write up, no editing, I think his entire team should be sacked.

Science/Technology / Study: Bones In South African Cave Reveal New Human Relative by obioraop(m): 1:29pm On Sep 10, 2015 |
This March 2015 photo provided by National Geographic from their October 2015 issue shows a reconstruction of Homo naledi's face by paleoartist John Gurche at his studio in Trumansburg, N.Y. In an announcement made Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015, scientists say fossils found deep in a South African cave revealed the new member of the human family tree. (Mark Thiessen/National Geographic via AP) IMAGE MUST INCLUDE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LOGO; CROPPING NOT PERMITTED; MANDATORY CREDIT: "MARK THIESSEN/NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC" . View gallery This March 2015 photo provided by National Geographic from their October 2015 issue shows a reconstruction … MAGALIESBURG, South Africa (AP) — Scientists say they've discovered a new member of the human family tree, revealed by a huge trove of bones in a barely accessible, pitch-dark chamber of a cave in South Africa. The creature shows a surprising mix of human-like and more primitive characteristics — some experts called it "bizarre" and "weird." And the discovery presents some key mysteries: How old are the bones? And how did they get into that chamber, reachable only by a complicated pathway that includes squeezing through passages as narrow as about 7½ inches (17.8 centimeters)? The bones were found by a spelunker, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of Johannesburg. The site has yielded some 1,550 specimens since its discovery in 2013. The fossils represent at least 15 individuals. Researchers named the creature Homo naledi (nah-LEH-dee). That reflects the "Homo" evolutionary group, which includes modern people and our closest extinct relatives, and the word for "star" in a local language. The find was made in the Rising Star cave system. The creature, which evidently walked upright, represents a mix of traits. For example, the hands and feet look like Homo, but the shoulders and the small brain recall Homo's more ape-like ancestors, the researchers said. View gallerySouth Africa Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, kisses … South Africa Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, kisses a reconstruction of Homo naledi's face dur … Lee Berger, a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg who led the work, said naledi's anatomy suggest that it arose at or near the root of the Homo group, which would make the species some 2.5 million to 2.8 million years old. The discovered bones themselves may be younger, said Berger, an American. At a news conference Thursday in the Cradle of Humankind, a site near the town of Magaliesburg where the discovery was made, bones were arranged in the shape of skeleton in a glass-covered wooden case. Fragments of small skulls, an almost complete jawbone with teeth, and pieces of limbs, fingers and other bones were arrayed around the partial skeleton. Berger handed a skull reconstruction to Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, kissed it, as did other VIPs. Berger beamed throughout the unveiling. The researchers also announced the discovery in the journal eLife They said they were unable to determine an age for the fossils because of unusual characteristics of the site, but that they are still trying. Berger said researchers are not claiming that neledi was a direct ancestor of modern-day people, and experts unconnected to the project said they believed it was not. View galleryThis photo provided by National Geographic from their … This photo provided by National Geographic from their October 2015 issue shows a composite skeleton … Rick Potts, director of the human origins program at the Smithsonian Institution's Natural History Museum, who was not involved in the discovery, said that without an age, "there's no way we can judge the evolutionary significance of this find." If the bones are about as old as the Homo group, that would argue that naledi is "a snapshot of ... the evolutionary experimentation that was going on right around the origin" of Homo, he said. If they are significantly younger, it either shows the naledi retained the primitive body characteristics much longer than any other known creature, or that it re-evolved them, he said. Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York, who also wasn't involved with the work, said his guess is that naledi fits within a known group of early Homo creatures from around 2 million year ago. Besides the age of the bones, another mystery is how they got into the difficult-to-reach area of the cave. The researchers said they suspect the naledi may have repeatedly deposited their dead in the room, but alternatively it may have been a death trap for individuals that found their own way in. "This stuff is like a Sherlock Holmes mystery," declared Bernard Wood of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., who was not involved in the study. Visitors to the cave must have created artificial light, as with a torch, Wood said. The people who did cave drawings in Europe had such technology, but nobody has suspected that mental ability in creatures with such a small brain as naledi, he said. View galleryLee Berger, a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, … Lee Berger, a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, right, presents to South Africa Depu … Potts said a deliberate disposal of dead bodies is a feasible explanation, but he added it's not clear who did the disposing. Maybe it was some human relative other than naledi, he said. Not everybody agreed that the discovery revealed a new species. Tim White of the University of California, Berkeley, called that claim questionable. "From what is presented here, (the fossils) belong to a primitive Homo erectus, a species named in the 1800s," he said in an email. At the news conference in South Africa, Berger disputed that. "Could this be the body of homo erectus? Absolutely not. It could not be erectus," Berger said. ___ Malcolm Ritter reported from New York.
