Religion shouldn't be at the detriments of the society. If you can't do it right, you shouldn't bother to do it at all. Otherwise, things like this will keep happening to defaulting properties. Good one there, LASG.

lexy2014:
what exactly has the highlighted got to do with the discussion?

can you show me where in the questions you responded to that saw crucifixion?

what circumstances?

where was the sports ministry when other countries were buying bikes for their athletes?

Typical lexi2014 exactly: baseless argument, obvious comprehension challenges and dumb questions. Of course, a sage once opined that no individual is exactly the same person he was yesterday, logically as daily events wisen everyone but somehow, in your case you seems to retrogress back into worse dumbness. It's a pity!
For my sanity, I'd rather leave you to continue wallowing in your muddy depth undisturbed. It seems to be your calling.

Stop using Google AI and do actual research, bfore you shout misinformation, go back and read what I wrote, AS OF 2023, the daily consumption was over 60 million. Moving on, even if Dangote's refinery could work at full capacity for the whole year, it still would prefer to sell its product to international clients than Nigeria. Remember this is not a public/government owned refinery.

Lastly, let's even assume you're right and that single refinery along with the local options could cater to both Nigerians and international clients, WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT STILL SPENDING 1 BILLION MONTHLY ON PMS IMPORT? Either your data is incorrect or the government sabi pass you. Either way do more research man, you clearly don't understand the difference between capacity and actual output!

Nigeria still import PMS, to begin with, because Dangote refinery is yet to supply the market with it. And in addition, even if we have 60million litres daily requirement of PMS in line with our recent consumption rate （which I later found out to have peak at 64millions in June）in support of your claim, yet with the Dangote refinery configure to produce exactly 55% （as against my goof of 35% in previous post）of PMS from each barrel of crude, then the refinery is self sufficient with little to spare.
A 55% of 650000bpd will give us 60775000litres. Now, consider there are other private players already onstream, with one or two having capacities as big as 100,000, then Dangote would always have spare for exportation. We should also bear in mind the lost to smuggling. And moreover, there's the PH refinery in the picture too, if you're an optimist like me.
You made an allegation of refineries not ever performing to the fullness of their capacities but findings show that's not always entirely the truth. Majority of them in USA and China do 98 or 99% throughput which is as good as 100% and the challenges for others underwhelming performance to hit the height of their capacities had often been identified as FEEDSTOCKS supply insufficiency, DEMAND insufficiency, and MAINTENANCE issues. So, it ain't like none has ever produce as much as its potential stipulates.

If true, good that!

With our potential, our available resources and our general ecosystems, ninth position is an insult. We should tell ourselves the bitter truth that we must improve and get ourselves to the very top of the ladder. That's exactly where we belong.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
WE RISE!

Hopefully

The comments here essentially shows why and how fast we have to restructure this country and transition permanently to parliamentarian system of government. The people just wann complain and castigate leaders not affiliated to their tribes even in the face of clear explanation that duly shows the contingents were caught unaware.
INTERNET search and platforms support the minister's explanation but certain insatiable individuals want more.

lexy2014:

This one didn't even bother to read the post before rushing to crucify the minister. He already has innate hate for the government so he jumps on anything or excuse he can get to abuse them.

Hopefully this is to the benefits of the Nigerian people.

This looks perfectly like INDIRECT DOLLARS SUBSIDY. Wow!

That's good.

Still meagre but the improvement is welcomed. Pray it gets a lot better, by the way

Obvious challenge of information mismanagement

Clowns

Good. Fabric, paper, glass/screen, battery, leather （for shoe, bag, belt, jacket, seat, mat, etc）, tyre factories should be revitalised and encourage to produce grade A qualities that would not only necessitate local patronage but also attract exportation and FX. Time we started taking serious action on manufacturing and be very bullish about the promotion for good quality and patronage. Nigeria will be great again.

WE RISE!

Great idea. This will enable easy transitioni to and development of independent power stations and energy plants for the constant supply of electricity, cooling/warming temperature and factory/manufacturing needs to drive industralization.

abbey621:
Nigerians consume about 60 million liters per day as of 2023, that's approximately 400,000 barrel of oil per day. If Dangote's refinery is only producing 600,000 barrels per day, what will it do with it's obligation to refine oil for international clients?

Even if efficiency was increased to 100% WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE as the best refineries in the world only operate at 80 to 90% capacity). How much of that 600,000 barrels per day will go to Nigerians rather than international clients where more money is made?

Whether we like it or not, we need at least 3 of such refineries to reap full benefits! The U.S has over 130, U.K has at least 6 and South Korea at least 5.........What makes you think one refinery can service Nigeria's oblgations?

I doubt Nigeria consume anything around 60 million litres per day. The number is between 30/33 million litres which is well short of the 53million litres dangote refinery would produce （of PMS）. A monthly consumption rate or better put, our regular monthly importation of PMS data stands at an average of 1billion litres. So with the refinery configure to produce 53million litres everyday, it should be able to produce close to 1.6million litres monthly which covers our need and still leaves around 500million litres for FX generation. Remember, a chunk of the number we import （in PMS）are smuggled out through our leaking borders.
Besides, Dangote refinery ain't alone in the business in the country. We have many modular plants to help out and hopefully, some ongoing construction to help too even if we have to accept the national refineries are doomed never to function.
And to further correct another misinformation, Dangote refinery is 650k bpd capacity, not 600k.

Taking advantage of the protest to perpetrate his innate crime but thank God the cops got right up to it. He deserves to rot in jail.

Dangote refinery is at number 7 on overall capacity list but is the largest single train of such facilities in the whole wide world. And, as a thoughtful advantage, the facility is designed to accommodate expansion that can take the capacity to a million bpd.

abbey621:
Many of una know shin shin about economics, una just expect magic button wey go solve all problems. How much fuel is consumed monthly by Nigerians, now compare it to the maximum capacity of Dangote's refinery, you'll see that it would take at least 3 of such refineries to achieve the things you've listed above assuming they function at full capacity.

YOUR submission is misinforming and outrightly inaccurate. Nigeria hardly consume up to 300 million litres everyday while the refinery is designed to output PMS at around 35% of a barrel of crude. Mathematically, there should be surplus for exportation on daily basis as a barrel is equivalent of 155 litres which can increase as far up as 170 litres after refined （considering the addition of chemicals substances at the refining process）. A massive refinery like that should take care all our petroleum needs and generate massive forex too by the time it operate at full capacity.

It's a global dip so no problem as things would always retract back to the best. It's one of those things.

StUriah:
Not a pseudo name.

Alright. Thanks

Damn bad

Hassan Soweto? A pseudo name?

Yet some ! d!ots are hellbent on toppling the government bringing up all these initiatives because of political affiliations. Things ain't generally good but Rome wasn't built in a day. We have to exercise patience and look on the brighter sides.
With good policies like this, we should be able to commend them.

Pleasant

Oh?

Alright

Even that turnout , I'm sure, practically contains non-indigenes

Great

Darkness hates light, of course.

This is a good move

Considering sustainance, it's fair for now if a fully charged battery can last throughout a day and if truly, there's an option of swap without extra cost to forestall time wastage at the charging station.
With time and more private investors participation in close future, things should vastly improve. Great they've taken the first step. It can only get better from here onward.

Trying to create a party setting to pull crowd and enliven the participants. No problem. Everything must be restricted to the confine of the law, though. Any attempt at disrupting public peace would be met with severe punishment
