PoliticsRe: Asari Dokubo Comes Out With His Identity Again by Paraman: 7:36pm On Jun 25, 2024
Ikembeku:
Asari Dokubo opens up again on his Rivers State people's origin. He was seen in a viral video once again saying:

"It might not be wrong for me to say that 80% of Rivers State land is Igboland; nobody can deny it. Yes, people see me as an Ijaw man, which I identify with, but the truth is that I am an Igbo man from Abam in Abia State, like many other people in Ijaw land today.

I don't understand why some Ikwerre people keep denying their Igbo identity when it is clear to everyone that all Ikwerre are Igbo. There is nothing Benin about them. If they like, they can keep on changing their names, but they can't remove Igbo from their names completely.

Ezewuwo, not Obawuwo—Eze is an Igbo word. I don't know how they changed the other part to wuwo, but they can't change Eze. It is a shame for a group of grown-up people to be living in lies, deceiving themselves that they are not Igbo. But the truth is that inside, they know that they are Igbo; there's no doubt about it.

Ikwerre people of Rivers State are Igbos. Rivers State is also Igbo land.

-Asari Dokubo

There's no ethnic group called Igbo in Rivers state. Igbos can only be found in the south east

Standard Chartered Bank has indicated interest to fund Lagos-Calabar highway, Port-Harcourt-Maiduguri rail line – Edun

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun has stated that Standard Chartered Bank has indicated interest to fund key infrastructure projects in the country including the Lagos to Calabar superhighway project, Port-Harcourt to Maiduguri rail line as well as $3 billion financing for NLNG.

He stated at the end of a meeting with the global Chief Executive Officer, (CEO) of the bank with President Bola Tinubu at the state house, Abuja according to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media, Ajuri Ngelale.

Mr. Wale Edun praised Standard Chartered Bank as a valued partner to Nigeria, highlighting its contributions in financing infrastructure projects, offering guidance on credit ratings, and managing Nigeria’s Eurobond prudently.

He also noted that Moody’s positive outlook rating followed the recent announcement of the World Bank’s $2.25 billion financing package for Nigeria, reflecting the positive trajectory of the current administration’s economic reforms.

The statement reads, “He disclosed that the Bank has indicated interest to finance key infrastructure projects in Nigeria, including the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, Port Harcourt-Maiduguri rail line rehabilitation, as well as the provision of $3 billion in innovative financing for the NLNG dividend initiative.”

“They are also one of our lead managers for Eurobond issuance, and they advise us on our ratings. I am pleased to note that Moody’s has just completed our rating review and maintained Nigeria’s rating as a positive outlook, which is very encouraging,”

Green energy transition to complement oil and gas investment
President Bola Tinubu affirmed Nigeria’s commitment to a balanced approach to energy transition. He emphasized that the country still needs substantial investments in the oil and gas sector to meet its energy demands and economic needs.

According to him, a just energy transition that supports vulnerable communities nationwide is what is required. The President emphasized the importance of balancing the mutually beneficial shift to green industrial growth and energy with the immediate energy needs of Nigerians.


He said, “As friends, we do not expect you to run away from investments in this sector. We face the future prospect while prudently maximising the present.”

“Green industry and energy, yes. We will surely catch up with that. To run a marathon, you need energy today. Nigeria holds the largest reserves of gas in Africa. We know we can make best use of great opportunities that exist in the sector. We do not want you to back away from fossil fuels,”

“We must be able to meet our obligations to the vulnerable communities. We are committed to being prudent with our natural resources to bring prosperity to our deserving people.”

“As we hold the largest reserves in gas on the continent, we do not want to go backward, we want to move forward, and we welcome deepened partnership with your institution,”

He acknowledged that some industry players have made retractions and taken retreat positions. However, he emphasized that for any energy transition to succeed, it is essential that people must live well.

Stop defending rubbish.

The point here is that, one man is doing the right thing in Argentina while the one you're supporting here is gotten it wrong.

So stop jubilation because of mere projection and let the result speaks for itself.

If immediately Tinubu got to the office, he has down what Argentina president has done, many Nigerians won't be groin in pains today.

You people are evil for seeing the lies and call it truth.
I won't have waste my time on you if I knew you are this shallow

Inflation rate in Nigeria is rising on a monthly basis in Nigeria by less than 1%, but you want me to believe Argentina were inflation is rising by more than 4% monthly is doing better than Nigeria? How can you be this shallow?

Is not your fault sha... You don't even know the difference between inflation rising on a monthly basis and the main inflation rate

You're so shallow you claimed Argentina has reduced inflation rate from 25% to 4% grin

Inflation in Argentina is 276%

Inflation in Nigeria is 33%

But you're claiming Argentina president is performing better than Tinubu... You're a 🤡

The inflation rate rise for the month by 4.2%, it does not mean their inflation rate has dropped to 4.2%

PoliticsThe Secretary, Depot And Petroleum Products Marketers Association Of Nigeria by Paraman(op): 11:04am On Jun 25, 2024
Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria has denied importing dirty fuel into Nigeria, saying the diesel from the Dangote refinery contains more sulphur than imported one.

The association is reacting to claims by the management of the Dangote oil refinery that the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority had been granting licenses indiscriminately to marketers to import what they described as dirty refined products into the country.

In a statement made available to our correspondent by the DAPPMAN Secretary, Olufemi Adewole, the management of the association stated “emphatically that no member of the association and indeed, no private fuels depot has imported into the country any fuel with specification that is outside of the regulation other than what is currently approved by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority and would wish to state that the information from the Dangote Refinery Management is laced with Inaccuracies”.

DAPPMAN noted that the downstream regulatory authority has recently objected to offtakes by its daughter vessels from import mother vessels, via ship-to-ship operations which usually take place offshore Lome, a move it said was vehemently protested and resisted by downstream operators until it was rescinded.

“DAPPMAN recalls that between February and May 2024, the NMDPRA had allowed AGO imports with a maximum sulphur content of 200/ppm, however, this was followed by another move, by the regulator, to fast forward the country’s target date of the implementation of the 50/ppm sulphur limitation on PMS and AGO imports, from 31st December 2024 to 1st June 2024, thereby limiting all marketers and depots’ AGO source to Dangote Refinery even though the latter was yet to install its desulphurization equipment as the sulphur in its blends of AGO presently exceed 50/ppm.

“This again was resisted by DAPPMAN in its letter to the NMDPRA which was dated 10th June 2024 to warn and alert the regulator not to ‘inadvertently promote and introduce a monopoly into the sector,” the statement read partly.

The depot owners association said further that, “With stiff resistance at every attempt at introducing a Dangote Refinery monopoly into the downstream, and the fact that the latter, despite its most recent production of AGO with sulphur contents reported at 1200/ppm, it is baffling to us that the Management of Dangote Industries (including the Dangote Refinery), who are very much aware of these facts, could claim that the NMDPRA has been granting licenses indiscriminately to marketers to import dirty refined products into the country.


“Their current blend of AGO, with reported sulphur contents of 1200/ppm is technically classified as ‘dirty fuel’ and grossly above the 200/ppm imported by any marketer or depot owner,” DAPPMAN stated.

While acknowledging that the Dangote refinery is a business entity that is free to adopt any model that suits its management, DAPPMAN, however, stressed that “its current practice of cheaper bulk sales prices to international buyers at the detriment of Nigerian buyers calls to question their patriotism to the country”.

It added, “Several Nigerian marketers had in recent past been offered Dangote refinery cargoes by international trading firms at rates that are very much lower than what they were directly offered by Dangote Refinery, and this will not be in the interest of the Nigerian fuel end-user.”

The statement concluded, “There is no doubt that the success of the Dangote refinery will be a thing of pride to the nation, but all downstream operators and their activities must be in tandem with the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 which abhors ‘monopoly’ of any sort.

“DAPPMAN will continue to work with all stakeholders, including the Dangote refinery willingly to provide safe and healthy fuels to all Nigerians competitively giving them great and affordable fueling options for their daily activities.”

An official of the Dangote Group, who did not want to be mentioned told our correspondent that the refusal of international oil companies to sell crude oil to Dangote refinery was the reason its diesel is higher in cost.

On Monday, the National President, IPMAN, Abubakar Maigandi, blamed Dangote for the importation of diesel by operators, saying his (Dangote) diesel is more expensive.


Maigandi disclosed that Dangote did not heed the advice of marketers that the current price of diesel and aviation fuel be reduced to beat competitors in the market.

The IPMAN boss maintained that nobody would be encouraged to import the so-called dirty fuel if the products from Dangote refinery were cheaper.

“The major challenge is the cost of the Dangote diesel. We are looking for a reduction from him. He should bring it to a little bit lower rate.

“The fact that people bring in diesel from other countries into Nigeria is his fault. It is because of his price. You know I said earlier that he should bring his price down so that he would discourage importation by the other marketers. His price is higher. If it is lower, why should people buy outside?” the marketer stated.

The Dangote refinery official had accused the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority of granting licences indiscriminately to marketers to import dirty refined products into the country.
