Commissioning this?

some persons here want to rewrite history by making AI generated assertions that are inconsistent. GEJ did alot anyway agenda go agend

I smell lies everywhere.



She for do video like the earlier Reports did

So after mocking Obi now they want to go and learn from Egypt.

Are they now returning to their vomit?


APC people are planless and spineless scalar quantities

Lol



E don happen be say e don happen. Period.


If you dey vex go knack head for wall

Dey play


If there was any serious leader that would have made it possible was Abacha but he died. Others just play chop money and go rinse and repeat

Can we Call Him Minister for darkness?

tundegan:
Nigerian nurses should be patient.

Government will do the needful in due time.

But Tinubu was not patient to buy new yatch, neither was he patient to buy new jets and his luxurious armoured vehicles.



APCheats reasoning in the mud

Anybody that believe. This can easily believe that my dead grandmum died a virgin

Elections have serious consequences. Make any werey no quote me.


Peter Obi is learning his lessons

Ofunaofu:
I am surprised at the number of votes APC garnered

Congratulations to the winners

These are offline ZonBies, their suffering no dey tire them

I see one zoneBeee wailing over there.

I did not see the same energy in Benue LGA elections

Well, if this would make the LGAs work better, which i suspect will be then let it be.


I am in for a working country

As e dey pain them ego dey sweet us..

PEACE2023:
Why is USA stopping Israel from striking their nuclear weapons plant and oil reservoir

it is because of elections in US. If oil prices rise astronomically, it would affect the Democrats

ibinaboonline:
Billions of dollars kwa?

Yes

Emilokan Era.



Please enjoy the omo ibo Lagos. Shinedu will never rule Lagos

E remain to rename nairaland to RICELAND

So if i stay in sokoto or maidguri so i would travel to kaduna to do the conversion?


Or may be in Cross River or Anambra so i would have to travel to abuja or Ogun abi Lagos to do a conversion with my hard earned money for oil and gas producing states ooo.

I ask again why havent it been in all the 36 States of the Federation or is it rocket Science


See our government is not sincere. As for naptu2 you are one of those that subtly defend this government. As an elder which you are have Nigeria been this hard since you started exitence even During the Civil war there werent scarcity of petroleum products or either sides.

As an elder choose your ways and stop defending nonsense and also provoking the people

From my observation so far nairalanda1 is a government agent defending those oppressing the people.


So all the Tand M maintenance done within the past 10 years is enough to get us producing atleast 70% of our needs on petrol but that guy no dey look that side.


The smuggling thing is a farce trust me.
If the smuggling thing was real it is still cheaper to smuggle from libya to Nigeria and make profit

Nigeria will make enough gain if she supplies the whole of West Africa finished petroleum products at the price she sells to Nigerians so lets stop all these crap.

Of asking Nigerians not to demand for better living. By our Constitution Nigeria is a welfarist state and not a capitalist state. So let our Leaders do the needful

Why the data no contain their minimum wage with how many litres the minimum wage can purchase in relation to their countries petrol price.


I wan check something.

CyracksMrBlogger:
site company abroad and not pay tax ahbi?

They even pay more taxes


The reason is to evade being investigated for shady deals and not for taxes.

TableLeg:
Wetin Oracle Business Limited dey do? If you dig deeper, you will find out its nothing tangible but an establishment for contract scams, money laundering and corrupt practices.

Table leg wan break the table finish. See as you drag all the table legs commot

Na seeing we go chop.



Is it ewa… cassava or agbado

Tinubu economics at work

EvilMerodack:
Guy rest, see as them school you

Small thing u don dey cry say dem marginalize una

keep changing moniker to talk to me you hear you.



Besides nobody schooled any. I still repeat that modular refineries have capacity to produce PMS

confusedlady:
All I can say to you is that you need to avoid paid public relations department spin doctor articles and understand about various types/varieties of refineries.
You may choose to visit this link below and understand that those kinds of modular refineries are only going to produce low quality,bottom of the barrel petroleum products that will then entail further and costlier processing at superior refineries.

Check my reply to delarule

DeLaRue:
Nothing to do with government.

Modular refineries do not have the technology to produce petrol and most petrochemicals.

They are too small.

This is a well Documented professional review on the Nigerian case

confusedlady:
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. You need to educate yourself on the capacity and capabilities of modular refineries.
Anybody can claim to be anything on the Internet but until you provide a superior argument on the process and workings of modular refineries noone is buying your political argument.

This is NNPC submission on it

Kobojunkieee:
First, understand what a topping plant also called a low conversion/hydroskimming plant is.

I am not arguing from your own standpoint but I am talking to you as an entrepreneur and also from the engineering economics standpoint. Whatso ever video or online tutorial you like paste here it does not invalidate the point I have made on the government stand on modular refineries in Nigeria know this and cure your self of your ignorance
