If we had a working society, the region where a public servant comes from wouldn't matter.

What should matter is competence but Nigéria is anything but sane. Hence, all this drama about appointments.

At this juncture, Tinubu doesn't even have a choice but to dance to their turn.

Yes o

The President will Dance Buga to their turn

Pandora uchins that does not like it can go to Biafla

David160:
Tinubu is the north's bitch.. He won't do anything that will upset them in anyway.

Under buhari both the executive, judiciary and legislature was held by the north... Almost all service chiefs, key appointments were all held by the northerners... Now they're demanding senate presidency and key ministerial positions or they withdraw support.

Tinubu supporters can't condemn dem or even call out the fulani herdsmen killing the poor farmers in the SW.

Tinubu will keep dancing to the north's tune.. They have him 60% of his vote.. He's dere bitch.. 🤦‍♂️

You're free to say anything that will make you sleep comfortably tonight

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the President Elect Is Going to become the President on May 29 2023.

Like Hakimi, my assets are protected – Israel Adesanya says as he slams his ex-girlfriend for plotting to take half of his wealth.


UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has taken to social media to slam his ex-girlfriend Charlotte Powdrell after he takes him to court to get half of his wealth.

According to reports making the rounds online, Isreal Adesanya’s ex-girlfriend takes legal action to get half of his wealth because they dated for too long.

UFC fighter Sean O’Malley on a podcast expressed displeasure at the demands issued to Adesanya by the woman.

On his podcast, he said, “They are not married right they were never married I didn’t believe it she want’s half of his s*t. I don’t know how their relationship was ever because I didn’t even know he had a girlfriend, but to want half of his s*t to want half of what he’s gone out there and done is absolutely ridiculous

I mean it’s hard to say who knows maybe if they were together for 15 years since the beginning and she didn’t work because she was constantly making him food massage and at the gym doing all this stuff for him.”

Adesanya through his skill as an elite fighter along with incredible business acumen has been able to build an empire. However, Charlotte who doesn’t have kids for her ex, believes that she has a stake in Adesanya’s wealth for supporting him through the years to become UFC Champion and because they dated for a very long time.

Reacting, Israel Adesanya wrote; “Very relatable…Imagine being so fken entired that you think you deserve what a man has worked his whole life for When you came into his life with nothing and tried to leave with Millions. But like Achraf Hakimi, my assets are protected. I woulda taken half her shit too, but I don’t want half of NOTHING.”

He added; “Women’s “Standards” are merely fairytales they, they have after living in a nightmare.”

maxxx:
Moving forward it is an open secret that FG favors Dangote. That is why he is regarded in local parlance as "Federal pikin". Waivers,Reduced taxes, Tax rebates Federal patronage etc.

No b only Dangote dey enjoy all this things you listed up there

richmond500:
Poverty has a way of making people blame others.
Nigerian govt refuse to fix the country refinery for years, Dangote now wants to do the job of building a refinery for us and they are accusing him of Monopoly, like he was the one that told the govt not to fix the country's refinery.

Today, we no get electricity, if he decide to invest in power, they will call him monopolist again.

The funny thing about this is that, it was not only Dangote that was giving license by the FG

richmond500:
Long live dangote, if only we have like 5 Dangote's in Nigeria

I no understand why some people dey always beef the man

Dangote Refinery challenges global narrative


It started like a grudge match. Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, was dealt a bad hand in a failed transaction. Later, he vowed revenge. Not in a pound of flesh, but by venturing to make his own success where he had been ambushed.

At issue was the decision of the government of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2007 to reverse the sale of the Port Harcourt and Kaduna Refineries (two of Nigeria’s moribund refineries) to Blue Star, the Dangote-led consortium.

Blue Star had paid about $670 million for the plants in the twilight of the Obasanjo administration, and gone away thinking it was a done deal. It wasn’t.

So, what happened to Buhari?
EKWEREMADU: End of the road?
The Igbo and Homecoming
Even though the refineries were producing at about 20 per cent of their capacity at the time of sale, the Yar’Adua government, egged on by Labour, insisted the “national patrimony” were under-valued and under-priced. The sale was reversed.


Dangote walked away bruised, but unbowed. Six years later he announced plans to build a private refinery in Lagos with a capacity of 650,000 bpd – over 200,000 bpd more than the installed capacity of Nigeria’s four refineries combined.

Crazy at first

It sounded like a crazy idea. So crazy, Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said on Tuesday that on account of it, the U.S. lender JP Morgan threatened to expel Nigeria from its Government Bond Index for Emerging Markets.

After unforeseen delays, including cost reviews (from the original $12-$14 billion to $19 billion) not to mention energy transition concerns, the glut in global supply caused by COVID-19 and spooky markets caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, the refinery is now set for official commissioning on May 22.

One source told me on Monday that perhaps the most significant recent reason for the delay was the need to sychronise power supply to the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit, FCCU, which has now been significantly completed by General Electric.


Apart from an estimated 250,000 direct and indirect jobs that the refinery would create, the refinery is also expected to spin off other business opportunities, a story that Dangote loves to share in a country with 33 per cent unemployment.

S&P Global reported two months ago that early commencement of the Dangote Refinery would not only benefit Nigeria, but could also benefit Africa currently suffering a shortage of diesel as a result of the closure of three of five refineries in South Africa.

The continent imports about 700,000 bpd of diesel. Diesel is one of the four quality Euro-V products expected from Dangote Refinery. Others are gasoline, jet fuel and polypropylene.

But how does Africa’s richest man propose to deal with the growing resonance of the global green army?

He was once outspoken on global warming and its predations. At a fundraiser hosted by the Lagos State government for victims of a major flood disaster in 2011, Dangote said: “All over the world, nature is reacting. We are having extreme weather conditions…as managers of the city, our responsibility is to share knowledge with our people to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”

That was before he started building his refinery. For Nigeria and much of Africa, where energy resources, renewable and otherwise, remain considerably under-utilised, the choice seems to swing between managing emissions, already among the lowest in the world, and expanding industrial processes required to meet rising energy demand.

Green army

Dangote Group said it was not in denial of the dilemma it faces from green campaigners. The Group Executive Director, Strategy, Capital Projects and Portfolio Development, Devakumar G. Edwin, said five years ago that the group was dedicated to producing “efficient and clean fuels by investing in processes that meet European standards of gasoline.”

Edwin tracked back to why the refinery was started. “Primarily,” he said, “Nigeria exports raw materials and imports finished products. When you import the finished product back, you are essentially importing poverty into the country.

”We have always focused on import substitution. It’s what we are doing in sugar and what we’ve done in cement. So, we decided to adopt the same strategy for petroleum refining.”

Apart from the economic implications, an NGO, Stakeholder Democracy Network, reported on its website that the quality of the stock of imported fuel could also potentially undermine air toxicity, and cause other environmental problems.

Yet, the Energy Transition Plan, ETP, a green playbook by the government to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, is an indication that Nigeria recognises the urgency of sustainable carbon footprint.

The ETP comes on the heels of the Petroleum Industry Act, finally ratified in 2021. The law is supposed to introduce stability, transparency and accountability to an industry that has long resisted reform.

The ETP anticipates a scenario in which increased investment in the sector would lead to an uptake in the use of gas as a “transition fuel” and also help accelerate the move toward decarbonisation.

The divergence of opinions surrounding what methods to implement and what outcomes to project has in some way come to define the conversation on sustainability, with a number of developing countries even canvassing such ideas as “energy justice!”


Large industrial projects like Dangote Refinery, which covers 2,635 hectares, are infamous for environmental challenges they present to the local ecosystem, often causing long-term damage and increased risk of displacement. Already, local populations have called attention to the disruptive effects of the refinery to the environment and their livelihood.

Hobson’s choice

The continent faces what could well be Hobson’s choice: how to overcome widespread energy poverty while at the same time not ignoring global concerns about the deleterious effects of converting its rich deposits of hydrocarbon resources. Nigeria, like many commodity-rich countries on the continent, is at a crossroads. Is there a bridge?

Maybe. And Africa’s richest man is poised not only to fill a vital supply gap but also to do so as a business, keenly aware of all the bad habits that ruined the state refineries. Reuters quoted him as saying he was focused on starting production at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and to reach full capacity by early 2023 – a dream now deferred.

Dangote Refinery is not Nigeria’s first experience in private refining. To plug the supply gap, previous governments issued dozens of licences for “modular refineries.”

As a result of price caps and other regulatory hassles, however, only two of them with a combined capacity of 10,000 bpd are currently producing. Yet their combined output, even with those of rogue refineries that dot the oil-rich Niger Delta region, still fall far short of the estimated daily consumption of 72 million litres daily, an estimate still viewed with suspicion in some circles.

One and a half decades after Dangote’s Blue Star misery, the mood in official circles has changed. In 2021, government gave state oil firm, NNPC Limited, approval to buy a 20 per cent stake valued at $2.76 billion in Dangote Refinery, indicating a significant shift in government attitude.

Dangote told The Economist that the refinery would save Nigeria up to $10 billion in foreign exchange and generate approximately $10 billion in exports. The country’s perennially opaque petrol demand and supply chain could also be re-written. While the location of the Refinery could bring benefits of lower freighting costs, pump prices would still be largely determined by the markets.

Nigeria imports 80-90 per cent of all domestically consumed petroleum products. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity, OEC, Nigeria imported $11.3 billion in refined petroleum products in 2021, becoming the 18th largest importer of the products in the world, while refined petroleum was the first most imported product in Nigeria.

Where's the picture of the 1km road

The Igalas might vote massively for Dino

Fake News

00FFT00:
I've screenshot your statement and filed it away in the event of anything untoward happening to this gentleman. Freedom of speech is still a human right.

Okay 🤡

Mumu

Nah only Biafrans go dey watch your videos now

OGHENAOGIE:

Yes

Goodswill Akpabio is the Senate President

Tajudeen Abaas is the next Speaker

Know and Accept this fact and give yourself Peace Of Mind.

Sltp:
Very useless people. Implement regional government and resources control or give more power to the state. You want to give them more responsibility while you at the federal assume all military and paramilitary powers? Idiot

Two third of the State House Of Assemblies voted in favor of moving Correctional facilities to the Concurrent list from the Exclusive list

Blue3k:
Lol why hope when you can force the issue? Just stop accepting state law offenders after a certain date. If they don't care to after that charge them double the normal rate or simply let the consequences if their actions catch up with them.

The FG will stop feeding them from Jan 1 2024

In terms of infrastructure, the Akwa Ibom State Govt dey try

We shall see if the incoming administration will construct the museum or not.

Apapa

No b the first time an election will be held in Nigeria be this, Buhari cried on TV because he lost in 2011 even Atiku cried bitterly after losing the 2019 Presidential Election, everybody eventually move on

But Obidunze uchins have refuse to move on

The business man who behaves like a pastor must be dealt with for making an inciting statement

gidson12:
Now I know your aim, so it's all about Obi and the election. So this foolish thread was designed to cause tribal clash between the peace that igbos and the akwa iboms hv enjoyed from time immemorial.
Why not defend your Lord Tinubu in peace without inciting hatred.

You are very demonic.

I'm talking about clowns like you who were calling Nigeria a Zoo but became Obidunze because Obi was contesting.

I was not asking for violence against Igbos just calling out hypocrites like you among the Igbos.

fuckuigbos:
Obi that is not even fit to lace Obong Akpabio's sandals wants to rule Nigeria.

Nah how dem turn Obi to a messiah funny pass in all this

Obi was useless as a Governor

In fact, a thread was created in 2011, to complain about how horrible Obi led administration is in Anambra

One of them once told me Obi built over 2000km of road in Anambra State, I asked him to list out the names of the road, till today, I never hear from him

fuckuigbos:
If I am a Yoruba pretending to be an Ibibio guy, may it not be well with me forever and may I never see tomorrow, but if I am an Ibibio guy may everything go well for me starting from today and may Tinubu's government favour me and all my Akwa Ibom people. AMEN...

I am a proud Akwa Ibom guy who hates Biafra with passion because of the atrocities Ojukwu committed against my people. I almost lost my dad in the Biafra was because of the foolishness of Ojukwu.

Dem don call me a Yoruba Man tire even though I once agreed to meet Asgard in VI

I've said it before and I will still say it again

It makes no sense leaving Nigeria and joining another Mini Nigeria.

As an Ijaw Man, I will not leave Nigeria and become a minority to the Igbos in Biafra.

If Nigeria divide, is going to be everyone to her tent. Is so foolish for anybody to think ethnic nationalities in the South South will want to become a minority group in a new country when they have the option of creating their own country

fuckuigbos:
Yes, they love Nigeria and it is foolishness for them to try to destroy Nigeria because they are not ruling.
When Azikiwe, Ironsi and co were in charge they were not crying wolf so why should they disturb us now that the story has changed.
The Igbos once dominated strategic positions in Nigeria, they even fought against the Hausas and Yorubas for mooting the idea of secession clause in our constitution.

They should go and build their backward Igbo states first before talking about ruling Nigeria.

Even under Jonathan tenure, Igbos didn't take Nnamdi Kanu or other Biafra group seriously

It was after Buhari take over the scream for Buhari became very loud

If Peter Obi won the Presidential Election, even gidgiddy won't be talking of Biafra again

Biodun556:
So true but may lead to disappointment

Well, I disagree with you

fuckuigbos:
Nigeria can never divide and anyone who feels otherwise should wake up.
The Igbos fought against cessation clause when they were ruling Nigeria so why are they crying now?
No part of Nigeria will be allowed to secede, we will remain become less powerful like Ghana and Kenya if we divide.

I have no problem if any group of people wants to leave Nigeria. I don't just like hypocrites who will be shouting Biafra and still b voting for parties like LP, PDP, APC, APGA etc then when their candidate lose, they will start shouting Biafla

Igbos love Nigeria, is because they do not have power they are shouting Biafla

You can see the way they supported and rigged massively for Obi in the Presidential Election.

Asiwaju will likely lean towards the West
