Easy to see it is PHOTOSHOPPED. Take note of the ripple pattern..A real life situation will have the ripples angled at a certain degree to the body to show the movement of the feet and general body movement pattern. I aint fooled.

Does anyone know a company that does GMC maintenance in Nigeria?

Billyonaire: goofball? thats a nice name for me. I envy your intelligence.

You need glasses too? Goofball not goodball. You entered this topic like someone with an intelligent contribution to make and I cringe at the fact that I took time to respond to you in a civil manner. Obviously you are out of your depths here. Go and "hire" somebody will you?

Billyonaire: Go and sleep my friend. I have no tyme to make you have allegiance to your government. If we all keep shouting and criticizing the government, it changes nothing. Abi you wan carry gun and matchet enter road and start shooting government officials ? I am just spending time to validate what I know is right and your job is to criticize. Congrats for being the next El-Rufai and Bakare. But remember, united we standard, divided we fail.

Check out the Vulcan Oil link you posted, you goofball.

Can you please do thesame for Petroleum Refining and Strategic Reserve Limited? For someone who claims to have the "hiring mentality", it is sad to see you exhibit such ignorance. Did you check out the link you posted before making it public? Maybe you did but it just didn't click for you. The Vulcan Oil company in Ohio is nothing but a glorified oil blending/delivery company. They even deliver 100 gallons free of charge The Vulcan in question is a Houston based corporation owned by Paul Allen of Microsoft! Change web browsers if the current one you are using is causing you to goof!

Billyonaire: So a comppany has to be as old as me to do business. Let me come in here. Lets say I own a product oil firm, and I have made billions, and I see my friend that is worth billions and I decide we need to do business. We got to register new firm and have stakes/shares in it based on our investment portfolio, then seek for foreign partner that will bring in remaining balance based on our Business plan and also. Investment such as petroleum needs government stake so it can influence decision in favor of citizens. Thats standard business practice worldwide. Why am upset is, that I discover you guys have not even done business worth 1 billion and you sound conviction on things you dont know, you cant judge a company by website and not even CAC registration cos fraudulent companies even use better websites and register fake data on CAC. Authenticity of company is verified via Consulates and Departments of Commerce of industries of country and certified by respective embassies. Some of you guy lack this knowledge cos you have the "Employ me" mentality and not the "I wanna hire" mentality. Tell your neighbor.

No need to get rude here. I mentioned in the last update to my post that we cannot be blamed for trying so hard to read between the lines because we have been taken for far too many rides. All we are asking for is transparency and there was none in this deal. A project of such magnitude should have been much more transparent especially since Nigerians will be ones to pay for this in the end. You think it is right to come from no where because you have a reputation and bags of money to invest and shove an idea down the throats of Nigerians? It is an "investment" and they will make their profit from each and everyone of us whether we like it or not. So don't come here and insult anyone with your employ me/ I wanna hire analogy. You may be one not to object when asked to bend over and get rammed up your behind but some of us will.

Piddo: It is not yet Uhuru for Nigerians. At face value, this appears a laudable project but has anyone bothered to think how the investors will make their money back? You and I will pay for it for over many decades to come. Upon completion, the FG will ban importation of petroleum products and Nigerians will have to pay the rate dictated by the "investors" for their product. If only the FG was honest about fighting corruption, fixing the nations 4 refineries would have been best for Nigerians but now we have invited people in with billions of dollars and surely, its no charity!! Nigerians will pay dearly for it in the end.

What makes this whole thing even more suspect is the name of the Nigerian company that Vulcan is working with. "Petroleum Refining and Strategic Reserve Limited". This company has no website and for all you know, could be just a few months old. We all know the only company that has been refining crude in Nigeria for decades is NNPC. The architects of this deal now chose to use a company name that would appear a perfect fit. Can anyone in government please tell us what Petroleum Refining and Strategic Reserve Limited has been involved in prior to now? I know this smacks of paranoia but no one can blame us Nigerians for trying to read between the lines. We have been taken for far too many rides!

Ozonna: Can someone please respond to this post? This guy raised some good issues here about the company.

ABUJA (AFP) – Nigeria on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an American energy firm to build six oil refineries, in a project worth 4.5 billion dollars, a government statement said.

Nigeria’s refining infrastructure has largely crumbled, turning the country into a net importer, which often pays high prices for its own crude that has been processed abroad.

The deal between US-based Vulcan Energy, the Nigerian government and a local firm, aims to build six refineries with a combined capacity of 180,000 barrels per day, Nigeria’s Trade and Investment Ministry said in a statement, which also listed the 697.5 billion naira ($4.5 billion) price tag.

Two of the refineries are to be completed within a year, according to the terms of the MoU.

“This is the beginning of changing our old paradigm from exporting just raw materials and exporting jobs to the Western countries,” Trade and Investment Minister Olusegun Aganga said in the statement.

Nigeria produces around 2 million barrels a day of crude, making it the world’s eighth largest producer, but its petroleum industry has for years been riddled with corruption and poor management.

Last week, President Goodluck Jonathan fired the chief executive of the state oil firm NNPC, a move his office said was designed to boost transparency and accountability.

Vulcan’s vice president, Jim Mansfield, said the MoU highlighted Nigeria’s attractiveness as an investment destination.

“The funding for the project will be a non-Nigeria source and is from investors who firmly believe that Nigeria is a good place to do business,” he was quoted in the statement as saying.

Houston-based Vulcan currently operates in several US states as well as Canada.

yorke: Rubbish! As if they wouldn't do likewise if they were to be in their shoes. Too hell with all of ya.

It is folks like you that make this country a failure. Are you now saying he should look the other way and just splash the cash on new vehicles instead. Please shut the hell up if you have nothing constructive to say. Nigeria will remain backward if it has retards like you in positions of power.

Sagamite: You are a cretin!

Answer the fcking question. Product of a failed education system.

Critical thinking: zero!

person, you would have no problem with your president sitting down with Alams, Ibori, Bode etc to decide the politicians they present to illiterates to vote for and represent the strongest party? And your dumb arse would be complaining about no light, bad roads, poor healthcare, no water, greedy legislators? person! No critical thinking to connect issues beyond the basics. Even Neanderthals would appear like geniuses next to you.

Tell him oh..

Tropilo: So if ur older brother who trained u to be successful in life ends up in d bad books of d law, u will stop associating with him baa? Good luck to u all hater o!

It's obvious many of you just don't get it. Read my post again. As an individual, if GEJ chooses to associate with Alams behind closed doors, that is his prerogative. But as a president, he owes it to all of us and indeed the entire world the show of a "President" who is against corruption. Its not about him but the high office he occupies. Such a picture says otherwise.

jmaine: So What . . . Craze people wey no get job

Bloody illiterate!!

madanne4real: This maybe an old picture when Alams was the Governor of Bayelsa state and GEJ was his deputy. If you look closely, you will see that the ADC of GEJ is not sitting behind him as is the norm. We should not rush into conclusion yet.

Does that explain why Dickson the current governor is also in the picture?

emolade4re: Do u knw dat devil still appears in God's presence.Notin spoil.Ur father culd be more corrupt if he's given a position of governor.

Maybe your father could be anyway, not mine!

strangerf: I fail to see any thing wrong with GEJ mingling or sitting next to Alams at a PDP function. This is not GEJ inviting Alams to his home or birthday. This is a party/PDP function and I doubt GEJ has power over the sitting arrangement. And whatz up with Barack Blagojevich comparison? Two different issues. As far as Nigeria is concerned, Alams is not a criminal, he was never convicted in a Nigerian court. Whatever issue he has is between him and the UK. Blagojevich on the other hand was caught, tried, and prosecuted by his people and guilty verdict rendered by a jury of his peers. Alams didnt have that luxury and as such it would be ridiculous for any one to label him a criminal with the intent to ostracize him from his political base.

You sound like you would also fault Ibori's conviction in the UK since he was discharged and acquitted in a Nigerian court. It is the likes of you that make it okay to be corrupt in Nigeria. Shame shame shame

koruji: Here you go (for the records)

Thanks for buttressing my point. Birds of thesame feather..flock together!

Aigbofa: Imagine President Obama and Rod Blagojevich sitting next to each other and being chummy in a public function!

Brilliant comparison. Blagojevich just reported to prison for the start of his 14 year sentence while Alams is back in the fold probably plotting for contracts and smarter ways to loot Bayelsa all over again.

Bialegend: So what exactly is wrong about that?

Didn't think you would be intelligent enough to spot the irony!

A picture surfaced recently in the Guardian where Jonathan sat next to Alam. Seems inconsequential but speaks volumes about our president and his anti corruption stance. Granted that Alams gave him his first break, he could show solidarity with Alam behind closed doors but definitely not in public view. Alams is a Convicted criminal and thief but the number 1 citizen sees no qualms in associating with him. Nigeria is a really sad story to behold and Jonahan is a sorry excuse for a President and C in C.

Wonders shall never cease. The current governor of Osun state halts contractors building 6 stadiums across the state. For the love of Christ, 6 stadiums in Osun state? Lagos with its population of 18million has 3 stadiums and that is the center of sporting excellence in Nigeria. How on earth did Oyinlola get away with such a white elephant project? Who will make use of these facilities? And all contractors have been paid 30% mobilization. God help Nigeria.

He should either resign or be impeached immediately. For someone who dared to disregard the consitution and place the nation on the verge of a military coup or civil war?? He must not be allowed to rule us again. Quite obvious a lot of people in his kitchen cabinet must have known about his true situation but still proceeded to keep 150m Nigerians in the dark for 3 months!!!! An utter disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!! No man is bigger than the presidency!!!!!!!!!

The first suicide bomber from Nigeria and we are immediately classified amongst other well known terrorist nations. How so unfortunate. Why this double standard from the US and indeed the international community? Indeed Nigeria does not enjoy the best reviews when it comes to reputation but being labelled a terrorist nation is another stigma all together. I have compiled a list of headlines I could find on British Suicide bombers over recent years but no one has labelled the UK a terrorist nation nor has the US blacklisted them. British suicide bombers have been fingered in planned attacks over trans atlantic flights and actual ones carried out in the UK, Tel-Aviv, Somalia, amongst other places . So why is it different with Nigeria? If all the headlines below were to be credited to Nigeria, we would have been banned from travelling anywhere outside our shores. This is injustice and our information minister should be quick to use this information as a weapon of defence for our already battered image. Nairalanders, lets propagate this information.

CHANGE EVERY OCCURENCE OF "BRITISH" IN THE ABOVE NEWS ITEMS TO "NIGERIA" and you will appreciate the gravity better,

Pls pls pls, I'm a huge Fashola fan but this is way off the mark. Govt has not been able to maintain the 2 or 3 traffic lights in the whole of Lagos state and here they are embarking on a much more complex project. Haba, dem don come again o!!

ow11:
I will imagine Fashola as president as we were told to imagine Marwa as president. lol, @poster when he leaves office, we will see his trail of misdeeds

Hard to understand why its diffcult to please Nigerians. Whoever said he was a saint?? Y'all are missing the whole point. Even in America where we are supposed to be taking examples from, we all saw what happened to Obama's seat in Illinois. But that doesnt mean there wasnt developmental progress in Chicago or elsewhere in the state. Politics is a dirty game to start with but if in the midst of it all, we have someone who is showing some promise, why not show some optimism? And make no mistake about it, Marwa was indeed a performer and we all know he ended up floating an airline after office. Except Jesus comes down to take a political seat, we will never have someone without a "trail of misdeeds" after office.

Tsiya:
what is d difference between his radical changes and that of el rufa'i in Abuja. Nigerians are quick in celebrating politicians. Gullible and Naive people

Gullible and naive you say? Then I strongly doubt you live in Lagos. I have lived in Lagos for almost 30 years and never in those 3 decades have I seen such change in so short a time. What is wrong in celebrating that? Gullible and naive are wrong choice of words. If a governor tries to fool me by making positive change where I live, then I am indeed gullible and naive (indeed stupid) for celebrating him. I guess you are the type that sees nothing wrong with the current president since its "only" been 2 years since he was sworn in. When El Rufai did what he did in Abuja, people celebrated him. The fact that he turned rogue does not make him a standard for assessing others in similar position. You might want to try being an optimist in life for a change.

If the radical changes being undertaken by the Fashola government in Lagos is anything to go by, then he may be the messiah Nigeria has been praying for. The guy is bullying his way into the record books. No other governor can match his performance record in less than 2 years in office. As a matter of fact, he's done in 2 years what many could not do in 8 and in comparison to our "go slow" president?? Your guess is as good as mine!! Nigeria needs a radical reformer like Fashola and I think we should honestly start looking at that possibility if we want anything good to come out of this failed state called Nigeria.
