Criticizing Obi has become a tactic for aligning with the ruling government, often as a means of self-preservation. However, such critics are in the minority, because most Nigerians continue to support Obi.

Many actually believe Peter Edochie said that

I had already ordered for Senwei 3.5KVA Manual Start Generator - EC5200-7000CX before I new about this channel.

Please is this generator a good model? is it a copper or aluminum coil? which is better?
I will appreciate experiences of people who have used it before this product is delivered to me.

Thanks

OK

PFRB:
Why was Buhari not there? ? ?

Childish and delirious propaganda is the bane of IPOB.

VicTee:
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has dropped an evidence to prove that President Muhammadu Buhari is allegedly dead.

Kanu has always maintained that President Buhari was allegedly replaced by Jubril Al-Sudani from Sudan. He had said the replacement was allegedly done in London in connivance with the British authorities

See evidence at https://firstreportsonline.com/nnamdi-kanu-evidence-muhammadu-buhari-dead/

One of the most stupid things I heard from Kanu.

It means at all at all; anything wey you fit give.

Find it hard to believe. I just saw him early December 2019 and we exchanged numbers. I told him congratulations in advance for his PhD program. Still hard to believe. Hope to hear that it's all fake news.

Anambralstson:
At a time Nigeria is in dire need of all the foreign exchange it can get, $5 billion is trapped under the Anambra basin, an under-explored area with undeveloped proved gas deposits estimated to be over 10 Trillion cubic feet (Tcf).
The basin, reputed as next to Niger Delta in terms of hydrocarbon potentials, has a sedimentary thickness of 9km and covers about 3,000sqKm, with the eastern and western limits of the basin defined by Abakaliki and Ibadan.
“The 10Tcf quoted for Anambra basin is based on few wells drilled. The value could go higher with more gas exploration. The figure as quoted will be a big boost to Nigeria reserve base that has solely depended on Niger Delta basin as its main reserve base”, said an official at Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), government’s oil and gas regulatory agency.
“The discovered resources in the Anambra basin are in three categories; proved reserves, which perhaps are about 2Tcf, the remaining 8Tcf of the 10Tcf are probably unproved reserves and then the contingent resources. Thus, only about 2Tcf, which is proved is of any significant economic purposes as of now”, said Wumi Iledare, professor of energy economics at the Emerald Energy Institute, University of Port Harcourt.
“Assuming the price of gas remains $2.50 per Million cubic feet (Mcf), the revenue to be injected into the economy in aggregate from Anambra basin would be about $5 billion over the next ten years using. This would expand local economy in terms of output and employment and the multiplier effect in the community would be visible”, Iledare added.
Industry players expect government to also spur private investors into action in Anambra basin through policy support and incentives.
“There is a significant scope for development of a gas market for power and industrial consumption in Anambra basin. To achieve this, policy support and incentives are required to encourage the development of gas resources and associated infrastructure”, Jeff Corey, Chief Operating Officer, Seven Energy, told a delegation from Nigerian Gas Association recently. “Anambra basin will open a whole new area to have gas supply for power and industrial use”, Corey added.
The ultimate support the government can give, according to Dolapo Oni, Energy Research Analyst at Ecobank, is liberalizing the price for gas to enable a ‘willing buyer, willing seller’ arrangement. This will encourage investment in pipelines, gas processing facilities and gas production.
“The more important question is how we monetise these reserves, either through the power sector or LNG or even gas-to-Liquids plants. The key advantage is that with pockets of gas reserves across the country, we can distribute power generation around the country more and reduce dependence on the grid”, said Oni said.
Although conjectural, with right policy and incentives, experts say that within 18 months, two wells can be delivered within Anambra Basin dedicated to a combined cycle gas power plant.
“Approximately, 1Billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year can generate about 1,000MW of electricity at 75 percent output efficiency and minimal losses. Hence, 2Tcf proved reserves in Anambra basin can generate 2,000MW of electricity for approximately 10 years” Iledare said.
The Energy Research Analyst at Ecobank said there are significant investments in cottage industries in the south-eastern part of the country that could benefit immensely from small scale power projects that are distributed within the local distribution network.
Asked what the regulatory agency can do to help jump-start bringing the vast gas resources in Anambra basin to the value chain; “DPR as a regulator may not necessarily do anything because it is not an operator or investor in exploration and production like NNPC. However, if there is a regulatory bottleneck, DPR can come in and facilitate early production in the gas assets”, said the DPR official.
Within the Anambra basin, there are Ugwuoba and Igbariam gas fields; both contain some of the successfully explored gas wells in the basin. Some of the wells in the basin; Igbarim-1, Ajire-1, Akukwa-1 and Akukwa-2, were drilled by Shell-BP between 1938 and 1939 but were abandoned because at that time, the last thing they were looking for was gas.
There are also claims by the Anambra state government that two of the Oil Prospecting Licenses (OPLs 915 and 916) within the basin which belongs to the state government-owned Orient Petroleum has an estimated reserve of 193 million barrels of oil condensate and 30Tcf of gas.
Energy-starved Nigeria is a paradox of gas resource abundance. Its proven gas reserve is about 186Tcf, most of which come from associated gas, with prospects of the reserve base rising up to 600Tcf if deliberate efforts are made to explore for non-associated gas, yet 80 percent of its power plants which are gas-fired remain partially or perpetually offline as a result of non-availability of gas supplies.

Great news

Awol1:
They want to hand it over to religious Hisbah.

This is the real purpose. I came to the same conclusion too.

PicLtd:
The number of lives Onitsha-Owerri road had swallowed before it was dualized can never be quantified. I've lost several relatives on that road from 1975-1999. Some died there before I was even born.

During Abacha's time he budgeted just 1million naira for all the roads in the East while stacking billions of dollars abroad.

I am very sure that if Abacha is alive today, some people will vote him and even form an Abacha Media Center (AMC) to support him, if he had dressed himself in civilian garb and proclaimed himself 'a converted democrat'.

Afterall Abacha was never corrupt according to the ruler of Nigeria.

My own mother died in a mother accident on that road

Lies from the pit of hell

Exc2000:
so what happened to the going? and what makes you think its still not good

I am referring specifically to the picture. It is an old picture.

Exc2000:
be decieving your sef there, Tinubu is gaining momentum on a daily bases and you are here yarning opata

that was when the goin was good

People actually take this serious. Fake news

Who ever write this post is a master and very funny too

Buhari is clearly not in charge.

One day the rain of ugly thought forms will fall upon Nigeria. "It won't fall on one man house top". "...keep the hearths of your thoughts pure...". No hating, no wishing of evil. The law of sawing and reaping always applies. Nigerians think good and we will all be happy

Serves him right.

But he also missed it when he was petroleum minister

The way I see this snake, it might fight back if threatened.

My SE brothers are easily deceived by Yoruba to start fighting among themselves. That is what this post is about. People of SE (Igbo, Ijaw, Efik, Anang, Ibibio, etc.), stop fighting on the prompt of our enemies.

Just saving his thin skin. LOL

juman:
I would be better president than obi.
Igbo hates muslims.
Obi hates further, he hates christians that are not from his denomination.
He is religious fanatics.

Also his economic policy did not make sense.
He was not concern about growth, his emphasis was much only on savings.

You have to start from somewhere. Savings is a very strong factor for growth. His model also include attraction of foreign investment. I believe that Nigeria need to develop the habit of saving. There is so much waste in the land. Savings alone can throw up funds for development.

Amaso99:
Tinubu, when you compare the states they govern before, Tinubu again and again

You don't need too much initiative to produce results in lagos state. They have population and every company in Nigeria is in lagos so just ensure you tax and tax and tax. Then spend and spend and spend. Tell me which other magic. None whatsoever. One the other hand Obi applied critical intelligence to create so much from nothing. If Obi were to be governor of Lagos state the achievement will be 20 times what you see today.
