Why is it sad news?

Who is Woye?

We really need to make a lot of USD from gas sales to stabilise the volatile naira.

How long will it be and how many years is expected to take to finish its construction? It might shock you but I won't be surprised if the Russian gas pipelines to Europe have a much greater distance considering the outrageous size of Russia.

No it is not

One will create jobs and a better life for our people
The other will make us slaves and create loot for a few people

The richest countries in the world are ranked in direct correlation to energy use.
We will never prosper from selling energy
The last 60 years should have taught us that
We can use our gas to make enough fertiliser for the whole of Africa

It is not possible for a country like Nigeria to prosper alone all the Africans at Libya heading for Europe will come to Nigeria if we prosper

Our energy should be piped to West Africa and no where else to make energy intensive products that Africa imports
Fertiliser
Glass
Cement
Paper
Steel

Imagine Africa crippled because of Ukraine war

Why are we in Africa still importing fertiliser

If Nigeria were to transform to a one product ,country namely fertiliser we will be rich and Our neighbours too

As if it's not the same kind of gas pipeline that was blown by Ukraine...here you're constructing pipelines across terrorist countries. I laff in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba languages

Thank you so much for being knowledgeable and having foresight.
Many Nigerians are Esau Generation.
They only want something to eat now.
Give them a module measure of Beans, they will cook everything.
But those with foresight will cook half for food and defer gratification for 3 -5 months by planting the other half.
Just wait a bit, you will read one of them quote you and say, "no be person wey dey alife fit enjoy your longer term vision"?
It is normal for them, shallow mind, poor mind.
That is the greatest problem of our generation.
I am part of the on-going one that someone posted it's pictures earlier, more projects always brings more jobs.
Again I say Thank you.

Na so!
Una no fit repair refineries for the past 10 years. Na to construct new pipeline to Europe we dey now
No wahala.

Descendants of Othman Dan Fodio building their bridges with Europe using the resources in the old Eastern region in the name of one Nigeria. The area the gas is obtained are left with no development by Nigeria's government; devastated by oil pollution and guilly erosion.

So because professors and medical doctors aren't finding it easy in Nigeria's current economy, so therefore nothing should be done to improve Nigeria's economy because according to your logic, "it wouldn't benefit the ordinary man"?.... Sometimes if you don't have a clear understanding of a topic, the honourable thing to do is to either ask or just sit back and listen/read through comments, and perhaps you could learn a thing or 2.

Nigeria currently flares (burns away) up to 10 billion scf of natural gas monthly which roughly translates to $25 million lost monthly. Why do we flare the gas? Because we dont have the necessary infrastructure (pipelines) to either use the gas locally or sell it internationally. Nigeria also has over 200 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves just lying in the ground untapped, while the economy suffers.

In summary, many pipelines (and other infrastructure) need to be built to convert the wasted and fallowing gas to money. If Nigeria earns more money/forex, the economy improves. If the economy improves, it benefits everybody, including that "ordinary man" you talked about.

Good news for japa crews

The writer is spreading news as if there is a first pipeline. Also i doubt algeria a gas exporting country will allow Nigeria pipeline pass thru it's country

Algeria exports gas to Europe, but the demand of gas is far more than Algeria can meet. Algeria would be very happy to receive Nigerian gas for onward export to Europe. It's good business!

obailala:
Interesting! We get all manner of diverse opinions on these public forums!

Firstly, can you please explain how Nigeria selling its gas to Europe to earn much needed forex revenue translates to 'enslaving Nigeria'?... While you're at it, are you suggesting that countries like Russia who sell gas to Europe are foolish slaves?


There are many ways to kill a rat. Whether Nigeria sells its gas internationally for forex revenue or whether we utilise it locally, both will result in an improvement in our economy. But the big question is, what is practical and more easily achievable for Nigeria under the current circumstances?

No doubts, if we can use the gas locally, it becomes more beneficial for our economy; but are you aware we need to first crawl before we walk?

1. Is Nigeria an industrialised nation?... NO, not yet!
2. Does Nigeria have the required infrastructure to locally utilise over 200+ trillion cubic feet of gas? Absolutely NO! --- even the US or China can't use up all that gas
3. Can Nigeria develop the necessary local infrastructure to utilise it's massive gas reserves overnight? NO!
4. Are you aware that money would be required to develop the local infrastructure?
5. Where would the money come from if we keep burning away the gas instead of selling it for now?

In summary, Nigeria has more than enough gas for local use and for export. At the moment, we dont have the infrastructure to utilise the gas locally, and it will take time and money to develop this infrastructure. So how is it a problem if Nigeria starts by exporting its gas?
