Did NNPC ever claim they didn't know?

The modus operandi of most federal govt organizations is to report the problem and fold their hands. Nothing we can do. We have made our excuses let's move on. This cannot be solved.

Hopefully this will become unacceptable for the next 8 years and hopefully institutionalized

The filling stations in my area are closed this morning, wetin dey happen guys.

Nah legedis Benz everybody dey use

But in this particular instance, what can NNPC possibly do apart from what they did shutting down most of the pipelines and using farm tanks instead?

Tuition fees will be introduced in all public higher institutions.

This will lead to an increase in school fees, I told you guys the government is trying to remove education subsidy.

Yup.
If I remember last year when they started their Hollywood kini.

That they even needed to employ tompolo to discover more tappings😂😂

But they didn't shut it down till last year.
The same last year that discoveries suddenly started😁.

Forget nnpc knew very well what was happening.
If you tap oil from a live pipeline, the pressure will drop immediately and you'll know.


Oil theft is something buhari did on a scale different from what nay democratic leader did.

From the very source😌

No, they have always known. It is not hidden . It was the Buhari govt that finally woke up to its responsibilities.

Coordinated sting operation. Stolen oil has to be moved. So the moment you see an alert you start monitoring the area. An oil vessel is not easy to hide.

It is because everybody's hand dey. Nnpc community, task force, navy.

How vessel go connect to pipe for over five or more hours and no one will see it?

If there is a report and everyone attached to the location is sanctioned people will sit up sharp

NNPC has been shutting down a lot of pipelines as far back as 2015. Usually when refined petroleum lands, what NNPC used to do was send them through pipelines to their various depot in several states.

When vandalism became a thing, the pipelines were shutdown, tank firms were introduced to receive the products and distribute through tankers across the country.

So to imply NNPC is pretending not to know is very wrong. They knew, everyone knew, it's not hidden.

Did you watch the channels news then to hear what nnpc was saying.
Unless you are saying like I am saying that nnpc is/was lying.

Remember how a super tanker sailed into our waters, loaded crude and sailed away till a navy ship raised alarm😁 and everybody claimed they didn't know how or when the tanker came in and was filled with crude.

Lol..

The level of oil theft in Buhari's tenure.. God abeg😩

BTW does anybody have any information about this in Ogun state?

Shaytun:
This particular pipeline was shut down throughout the whole of last year because of crude bunkering.

It is one of Nigeria biggest oil pipeline, 400 illegal connections were detected and removed last month of April, and there was a 24 percent surge in the corresponding month of may.

That's progress. I hope the illegal bunkering would be prevented and it actually adds to the fortunes of the nation.

Things like this should not be celebrated. It's like celebrating an apology after a slap.

We need to begin to hold our leaders responsible for the nonsense that happen within their watch and not celebrate correction of failures.

For example, arresting a thief may be a sign of progress but preventing the theft is the real growth.

You mean NNPC denied on TV they never knew? I will be very surprised because I watched an interview of Kyari with Seun at the time admitting they have always known.

Will look for the interview and share.

As for Buhari, the less said about him the better. You will never find a man so disinterested in the affairs of the Nation he presides over.

That's what I'm trying to point out that even if they knew, with the connivance of the armed forces who escort stolen oil, NNPCs hands were tied.

If you can't beat them, I guess you join them. That's the way I see it.

BlueRayDick:
I really don't know how people who defend Buhari's incompetence live with themselves. Buhari will cluelessly look on while a bad situation gets worse, after much shalaye and agitation by political commentators, he will try and clear some of the mess made under his supervision and somehow that must be something worth celebrating; else u will be labelled "hater" . smh

Exactly the point I tried to make in my post above.

Nigerians really need to sit up else the only hope of survival will either be crime or japa. Even the japa road go block.

Exactly

That's why Tinubu needs to purge the leadership of nnpc. NDLEA was one of Buharis round pegs in round hole. Same with Oloyede (though that precedes Buhari I think). A serious no nonsense guy at the helm of affairs.

E be like today tribunal brutal for inec😂😂😂

Omo I dey see videos of boys porting to generators with cooking gas,is it safe? I wan port too ooo for my businesses.

Amigoss:

Take the cylinder far away to avoid explosion
Apart from that it's actually economical

All you need is the dual carburetor. I bought some like four years ago. I ran on gas for like 6 months or so. I think they were like 5k then. it is not expensive but people will try to inflate the price. Next you will need cylinders. Cylinders in good condition. Not all thses rusted ones. Then if your have money copper pipe. If not regular hose. Whether the numbers add up is another question. Keep in mind that value depends on current lpg cost.

What I cannot say is if there are grades to carburetors. When we replaced the carburator for my gen recently, fuel consumption dropped immediately.

I have the entire setup (carburators cylinders hoses.)but I decommissioned it two years ago. I may buy some hoses and set up again if the numbers add up.

Na Kcee- Ojapiano is a spiritual song🙌

Breaking News:

Reports reaching Nairametrics indicate the central bank has given commercial banks and dealers in the forex market the green light to sell forex freely which is at a market-determined rate.

This is in line with the promise of President Bola Tinubu to unify the multiple exchange rate in the market.

The initial understanding of this message is that banks can now sell forex at market-determined rates, suggesting Nigeria is now operating a freely floating exchange rate.

I assume it means they can charge as they want. Just like petrol.

This Rochas Okorocha vs Emeka Ihedioha happening over there in Kano State.

Imagine demolishing a project that was built and commissioned by your predecessor with public funds; just because u don't agree with him and his political leanings. I hope we all consider these waste of public funds when next we are discussing whether Nigeria is broke or poor.

With Nigerian thieving mindset....i am afraid of the outcome...

I regret not trying harder to love economics even as low as 5% interest......

I tried..God knows i tried but the interest plus the indifferent attitude of our die-hard smoker of a teacher made it unrealistic to love it....(hate d teacher..hate d subject was the case)

The only thing I can remember in economics is "law of diminishing return" n whenever economy is being analysed by Hon Ibime,I am left with awe even when I don't really grab what he is postulating..


Reason my interest on any gov isn't based on FX or bla bla bla... but reality

I want to believe this is fake news. Only reported on Facebook. And only close up pictures. By now we should see the complete picture of the demolished roundabout.

Lets wait and see sha.

This is the fear I had..

Unemployment + uneducation =??
