We have no domestic refining because in 1973, we decided to subsidise fuel...which meant that eventually we sold fuel below the cost of its production. Not just fuel...kerosene, diesel, etc.

For a while we could afford it since the population of people using the refined products was not large enough (in the 1980's far more people used firewood than kerosene, and gas to cook.). But eventually we could not. And the queues started up, first in the mid 1970's. The refineries started collapsing in the 1990's when Southerners were in charge of NNPC.

The honest truth is simple. Any company making things needs to make a profit to pay for running costs. Subsides of the kind we practice in Nigeria do not pay for running costs effectively. Then our growing population means that most of the oil revenue has to go to funding things like salaries and projects, and the like. Add the fact that as at today, 20% of our revenue comes from taxes and other things, the 80% comes from oil....and you would see why we do not have working refinereis

Venezuela sells fuel at N40 or less per liter. And they have lost refining capacity over the last 20 years . To the point they can no longer help countries like Cuba with free subsidised oil. (Cuba is having to ration power as a result).

Iran has managed to keep refining and subsides. Their debt also makes ours look like chickenfeed. Iran wants to remove subsides. They can't because it means revolution.

If you want working refineries, make it profitable to run refineries....and that means letting the market set prices for fuel. Anything else is just inviting more and more debt, more and more import and less and less domestic refining.

Mele Kyari and Ibe Kalichuku have both called for removal of subsides. Kyari has even explained why subsides have to go self hundreds of times, and how they hinder NNPC's op. But you folk want N40 fuel...so you pretend he is the problem

Thanks for the insight.

I am beginning the feel pity for Tinubu. But his agbado supporters are making things worse.

At the end, this disgrace we have taken interhnational will affect everyone of us, who identify as Nigerian. It’s indeed unfortunate situation.

I think this issue ought to have been handled better by Tinubu. There should have been a kind of reconciliation attempts by him to other contestants and not let this issue blow to this extent. This could have been better managed.

Indeed this will affect all of us all as Nigerians.

Although I’m not a Tinubu supporter, but as long as Nigeria and Nigerian court are concerned, he will still find his way out. But the damage that has been done will haunt every Nigerian who does any academic or professional activities outside of Nigeria.

Be you Obidient, Batist, Atikulator, this certificate issue will affect everyone. Tinubu didn’t handle this matter better. I don’t mean sending attack dogs on social media to defend him, but at the start of this case, he should have found a way to properly handle this matter. The case has gone out of hand now, unfortunately.

Well said bro. Tinubu didn't handle the saga well. Allowed emotions and pride to override him.

The matter is made worse by Bayo Onanuga and his supporters with hateful comments instead of reconciliatory comments.

I don't know he will handle this even though our compromised Court will vindicate him or set him free.

Ms202309:
Is Adekunle not a Nigerian name

Is Adekunle Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

Bunch of shameless certificate forgers.

Why defending infamy and evil?

TemplarLandry:
So what?

These ignoramuses keep disgracing themselves.

You're asking so what? Is Nigeria a Banana republic where anything goes?

You and your principal are a disgrace to the country and knowledge.

Let's see how things pan out in Supreme Court.

TemplarLandry:
Look at his discolored jagged teeth like those of ESN cannibals.

No,not ECN cannibals but skull miners and ritualists in your region.

Shame of a Nation!

The only oil producing country without a refinery and importing. Our leaders have brought shame and odium to this country.

What's Mele Kyari doing as NNPC managing director. He is a square peg in a round hole. He lacks managerial ability to Head such a sensitive lifeline organization.

NNPC needs radical shake up. This is the only way it could perform. I don't understand why the oil sector is still spared of radical shake up.

The sector must be sanitized.

FreeStuffsNG:
Calm down. If you have problem with your identity, speak for yourself. I am not confused about who I am and where I belong. I have made my point on how sane fair minded people all over the world collaborate by reciprocity. If you want to keep holding your own resources to yourself, don't turn around and blame others if they do same.

Even within SE, situations that make reciprocity absolutely necessary is not new and when Anambra state recently insisted it will only recruit its own indigenes alone, indigenes of other states will require reciprocity from their own states for justice.

If you don't want to be a Nigerian, it's none of my business. The last time I checked, southeast is inside Nigeria and has people and patriotic Nigerians representing it at all levels of government and armed Forces in Nigeria. If you are in doubt, here's SE inside Nigeria like poor tiny Lesotho that lives off like a parasite on SA, inside SA

Self determination is enshrined in United Nations Charter.

You can't live with a people who are culturally and religiously diverse. Just like strange bedfellows. And this is why people of southeast wants to exit Nigeria. The progress of the people has been eroded because it occupies space with wrong people.

If we are same country,why should a renegade and simpleton, aka Bayo Onanuga open his dirty mouth to insult a whole ethnic group even though he has Lagos identity complex phobia?

Enough of pretensions. Let's go our separate ways so no lazy brat who has mortgaged his heritage would come and spew nonsense!

Dansy:
Please can someone tell Mr Peter Obi to find something doing. Is Peter Obi telling us that he won the Election in the southwest, North part of the country?.Professor Wole Soyinka has advised Mr Peter Obi that he didn't win the election and should stop deceiving gullible ibos.
Mr Peter Obi keep on playing on the sensibility of the ibos. He should be call to order.

Is it only IBO'S who voted for him? How about FCT, Rivers, Plateau, Benue, Kaduna etc?

Unlike your Drug Baron and Certificate forger, who didn't win Lagos, Osun and FCT. Where then lies his popularity??

FirstSense:
The new president coming in should retain the likes of this guy and also the minister of works.

Hmmmmm

Me I no understand o!

FreeStuffsNG:
Brilliant! Reciprocity is done everywhere in the world. It's the best way to collaborate and can be domesticated too.

That's why all the SW states must adopt it too as adviced here :
LAGOS GUBER & PLIGHT OF IGBO: Law Of Reciprocity Is The Solution
https://www.nairaland.com/7612989/lagos-guber-plight-igbo-law

Let's collaborate by reciprocity so we can have equitable and sustainable relationship among ourselves and the states. It helps us place value on what we each offer to one another and de-escalate our fault lines.

Every resource must be exchanged by reciprocity for collaboration. Every state has resources to exchange so bring it to the table and use for exchange.

You can not keep holding to your own resources tightly and deplete those of others you demonstrably hate and resent as your host. It's a recipe for intertribal injustice and anarchy.

Let's collaborate by reciprocity and respect and love for each other. God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Stop your infantile posturing.

Igbo is ready to exit Nigeria. But felons like you don't want her to exit. Not long ago, a political neophyte and eeeedi*t, Bayo Onanuga opened his stinking mouth to insult Igbo as a race over their voting patterns in Lagos. He was angry because they didn't vote APC.

Bayo Onanuga forgot that he is not original Lagos protégy. Like others, he came to appropriate the political heritage of Lagos in the name of Oduduwa. His parents were groundnut sellers who migrated from the North to Ijebu Ode in 1920s.

So,he is the least person to cast aspersion on Igbos because he has foggy Yoruba identity complex phobia of northern ancestry.

South East is ready to exit Nigeria and everybody will have rest instead of throwing insults.

Supported.

It should be tit for tat!

HeeBraHim2:
Tinubu will continue to be their headache. The man has proved it many times that he remain the mast of the game. The enemy of Nigeria want to distract him from focusing on the development of Nigeria.

Atiku knew Tinubu is about to make 24 hours electricity possible in Nigeria and he is looking for all means to twarth the idea for his generator business to survive.

Bunch of certificate forgers and mandate thieves.

Shame no dey catch una

StOla:
Regarding the review of the SSN (social security number) on the document being circulated as showing Bola Tinubu as female, the registrar stated that it was clearly an error.

Stop mixing up issues.

The SSN did not show female gender, it is the transcript from SouthWest College that shows F gender which the registrar asserted that it was likely an error from SouthWest College while printing the transcript, because the SSN which shows all valid information about Tinubu is also on the same transcript and the gender there is Male.

Yes, it was an error!

Error too when he graduated from Government College Lagos in 1970 when the school was was founded 1974 - four years before the school was established?

Damage control.

Say another thing!

sotall:
Una no dey tire for propaganda

If the sex F was human error, was Government College 1970 also human error?

Ask them jaare!

LegendHero:
Why shame go catch me when I am not as useless as you.

When I say "Headless Mob", just say present.

Shame must catch you because you're crumbs eater. As useless as the so called supporters who do not reason beyond their anus. So infantile and pathetically morose that you have turned plebian before the politician labouring to convince Nigerians he didn't present Oluwole certificate to INEC.

You claimed to be Legend Hero when you lack any atom of heroism in you.

You deserve pity!

LegendHero:
Na your papa dey pay me money. Ask am how much I don swindle from him.

You are disappointed in me? Did I ever come to your house to be appointed in me before?

Be like say you forget to use your drug.

Abeggi,go sit down. Shame no dey catch you?

FreeStuffsNG:
To set the record straight and to educate us on the right use of these English words, I will like to let us know that what HE Atiku, the former Vice President and defeated candidate of the PDP in the last Presidential election, held today is a Press Conference, not a World Press Conference

What is a Press Conference?

A press conference or news conference is a media event in which notable individuals or organizations invite journalists to hear them speak and ask questions. Press conferences are often held by politicians, corporations, non-governmental organizations, as well as organizers for newsworthy events.

The Error?

There's nothing like World Press Conference. Press conference is press conference.

Even if it's attended by international media organisations, it is still a press conference, not a world press conference.

Unfortunately, the press conference held by HE Alhaji Atiku today was poorly attended by the local media , 100% dominated by local press as one can gleam from those in attendance and the media brands on the microphones in front of him. The only non-Nigerian media name is VOA which still has a local Hausa service that caters to listeners from Northern Nigeria.

It was a press conference and not world press conference.

Please stop making this mistake. I hope this helps.
Regards.

You're a problem unto yourself. You're yet to come to terms with reality.

There is limit to supportership. You're now making yourself a laughing stock with your disposition on Tinubu's certificate forgery which CSU disowned/distanced themselves from.

Needless engaging you further because you're part of the headless mob.

Enjoy your foolhardy in the name of support.

I am ashamed!

LegendHero:
Lol Hyundai omo ogbon, Use Obedient for re-echoing his propaganda online in the day and cash out from Atiku and PDP in the night.

I remember when FFK and Reno used to play ping pong with the headless mob. Now it is Hyundai time.

I heard his 70,000 FBI coming soon too, hope Atiku will pay him more $$.

You're too intelligent to support infamy and sleaze.

Tinubu forged his certificates and presented to INEC. Not from CSU. And here,you're defending him. Do you have conscience at all?
How much are you being paid to mortgage your conscience?

I am disappointed in you. It means you don't have opinion of your own but teleguided by crumbs from master's table.

I am ashamed of you!

Kai!!

ogododo:
https://dailytrust.com/accept-defeat-and-lick-your-wound-apc-knocks-atiku/

see the people parading themselves around the mandate thief.

CSU disowned the Diploma submitted by Tinubu to INEC. So what next?

In sane societies, Tinubu would have been arrested and disgraced. But not so with APC government.

This infamy has brought Nigeria into negative spotlight and berates our resolve for nationhood.

Let's see whether Supreme Court could salvage the situation by bringing Tinubu to his knees.

Sobs!

jahsharon:
Una go Explain Tire, because No Evidence.


Cry, weep, wail. Losers are known for that. We cannot humiliate you from Nigeria to American Courts, and ask you not to cry, that will be animal cruelty. So, cry very well


He was admitted inti the school. He did excellent and won many awards. He graduated as one of your best students, and was even President of his department's students association. But he didn't collect the "ceremonial certificate" as you put it. You too listen to yourself, do you need to go and learn elementary English Language for you to understand yourself?

I hope you all heard what the Chief Justice of Nigeria said yesterday? You cannot intimidate the Judiciary, you will be heavily fined and disgraced. If you don't pay the fine in time, you will be jailed.

If you wonder if all you headless mob can be jailed at once, let me tell you, you all, even if you are up to 50 million, you all can be arrested and moved to Sambisa Forest where a Slave Camp will be created and be forced to work as Slaves till you serve your jail term. Such camps are presently in China and North Korea. Any unfortunate baby factory product that tries to escape from the Slave/Prison Camp will be shot at sight and buried into the soil to enrich land which will ensure bountiful harvest of food and cash crops

How I wish you and your Druggie get your republic and opt out of the country.

We are embarrassed with forgery attitude of your principal and peoples.

PassingShot:
Una be olodo who have deliberately decided to be unfortunate in life.

CSU simply confirmed BAT was their student, graduated with honours, as first among equals.

CSU allows licensed vendors to produce replacement certificates for their past graduates and they normally do not authenticate such docs because the transcript is what's more important and valued in the USA.

And the unique identifier, the social security number confirms EVERY GADDEM THING Tinubu has said.

It sucks to be headless mob. They can't reason independently

You're part of Nigerian problem.

CSU Registrar,Mr Westberg,said the Diploma certificate he submitted to INEC is not from them, CSU.

saintokwuluora:
Brainless chickens that depend on elusive corn will soon declare Daily Post an Ipob newspaper and Oyeyemi the Reporter an Igbo man.

Shameless lot!

Oyeyemi is Igbo man? You're mentally sick.

At any rate, listen to the message. Not the messenger.

Don't support infamy and sleaze for sake of posterity.

Tinubu forged the CSU Diploma certificate. The Registrar, Mr Westberg,admitted to this fact.

oteneaaron:
In case you missed it, here are some key takeaways from this article by Daily Post Nigeria:

Thanks

This settles Tinubu certificate forgery scandal.

Let's wait for the Supreme Court for their decision/pronouncements.

Go to Presidential Villa to arrest him

Supporter of infamy and sleaze.

God will help you.

But when will you have sense?

Racoon:
"It is against the Nigerian Constitution to submit forged documents to INEC."
https://leadership.ng/csu-doubts-authenticity-of-tinubus-certificate/

Waiting for the deluded zombies to call him IPOB as usual. Even Mr sanctimonious and hypocritical puritan and moralist Prof of Ostrich head have maintained a studied conspiratorial silence over this shameful and disgraceful issue.

Hmmmmm

Does any one have iota of doubt that Tinubu forged the papers to INEC?

Raskimonojendor:
Speech that won't move the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Wike is seen in jolly mood with the Chief Justice of Nigeria. What does that suggest?

The CJN has been compromised and nothing good will come out of Supreme Court jurisprudence.

The system is messed up and Nigeria can never move forward with current structural system.

wis3:
Who bloody cares? Anything is welcome so long as it makes your Anambra failure worthless. I'd rather Buhari run for third term than Obi becomes president. God forbid!

Abeggi,concentrate on your dubious and shady character bringing shame to Nigerians and black race.

Bunch of dishonest politicians. What's difficult bringing certificates into public domain for scrutiny. Just hiding!!!

ShaqFu:
how is the moniker you quoted mortgaging his conscience?

Because he carries anything Tinubu like crate of eggs. Very impervious to reasoning. Hardly finds fault or blinks an eye on Tinubu's misdemeanor.
Just because of crumbs from his table.

Only a psychosis behaves that way.

TemplarLandry:
Allegedly, he's his childhood friend who hit him with jazz when they fought at Mohbad's last show in Ikorodu.

He was never his childhood friend. He knew him casually.

Correct yourself please.

Hellu Pee crawlers, where are you?

I dedicate “Chop My Money” by (Hellu) Pee Square to you dumbos.

Hungry people. Continue selling your birthright for pot of porridge.

Support must have a limit. Not blindly and mortgaging your conscience for pots of porridge.

Hungry man,you no go tire with this your unsolicited support.

How much were you paid for this PR Job?
