I even remember when the agbero union members where ranting here that those refineries are now working especially that of PH. yarimo, helinues, madridguy, softmirror must see this

. you no add Zero8zero join, Shame no go let dem come outside today, bunch of anyhow people..

Kanixt:
Obasanjo wanted to sell it out, it was Atiku who objected it. Atiku boys still running the refineries

Same Atiku that people criticize for wanting to "sell Nigeria"...?

Atiku's campaign promise was to sell them refineries. He has always insisted on privatisation of most of the state run companies. Insisting that they can't work.

Infact, that's one of the things those that criticize and hate him use against him.


If Atiku was president the first thing he would probably have done was sell those liabilities we call refineries!

Tinubu as minister of Petroleum failed woefully and should be impeached for such a monumental fraud and waste

dominique:
All the billions of dollars spent on renovations gone down the drain just like that

Even old cars of more than 20yrs are being resuscitated but refineries are no way...it's terrible

Up Dangote
Down nnpc
Down nupeng
Down FG

All iron condemn merchants nationwide should come together, raise funds and buy d scraps called refineries!

It all comes down to bad, unpatriotic leadership. There is no reason why Nigeria should still be battling with mere refineries, just like electricity. Our government is a disgrace.

The Nnpcl workers are just embezzling the treasury niii. Why can't Tinubu government privatised these refineries to Chinese and Russian investors.

And he want come back to rule Nigeria as if there is something left to sell.

oluwaseyi0:
Government should sell them all
No need wasting money

Why should government sell them, in every country, there's state own establishments run by the government.

lacasera14:
I passed by the Port Harcourt refinery yesterday night on my way to Warri and the place looks busy, the gas fire was flaring and there were lights everywhere. You mean nothing is happening there? I saw engineers returning from work on their overalls. Looks pretty functional. Hard to believe. But this is Nigeria tho.

How can you tell the refinery looks busy? If you say 'on your way to Warri,' it's likely you're coming from Akwa Ibom or Cross River State. However, the refinery isn't located directly on the highway, so you can't actually see it from the road. You might catch a glimpse of the flare stack, but not the full complex making it impossible to judge how busy the refinery is just by passing by on the east west road. Unless you drove down to the refinery gate.

Seunmsg, Image123, etc.
Over to you and your god in the Villa.

Two years plus later.

I will always say it with my chest that no Nigerian deserves to be under the custody of the correctional service regardless of their crime, so in as far as we continue to allow these dogs roam free without punishment or violence. Everyone should be freed effective immediately.

The current levels of looting are inexplicable. You hear N180 billion, N430 billion, N330 billion, N90 billion. People who loot this much are not even intelligent because an intelligent person need not.

Let me inform you that until we restructure which we must all press for, it will remain this way. When we restructure and we all live in and develop our local governments; I promise you, these levels of looting cannot occur because if my local government chairman tried it, I would stroll down to his office and bless him with a hot slap. Disgusting.

Guess who is the (defacto substantial) Minister of Petroleum


Tinubu himself!

About a year ago when some persons came up to say that the PH and warri refineries that federal government claimed to be working is a scam a lot of persons in this platform called them enemies of good news, that anyone who says the refineries are not working does not want Tinubu and Nigeria to progress. Rumors had it that the product that is been dispensed in these refineries are are not produced here but as usual we are the enemies of Nigeria. How market today?today.

Where are those calling us doubting Thomas

Brazen Daylight Robbery!
The Laptop Eeeeeeeediots who were here grinding their unbrushed teeth should hide their faces in perpetual shame.

It never worked, a few daft fellows can't understand, just because of Monthly Data Allowance that can never help their lives

nickxtra:
The contract for the repairs of these refineries were not awarded by Tinubu pls

Why did they boast of opening PH and Warri then? Didnt the claim them both opened less than a year ago? Didnt BATists celebrate it?

Insincerity of our leaders will make them to continue to spend millions of dollars on decayed system

FuckYeyeMods:
Why should government sell them, in every country, there's state own establishments run by the government.

Nigeria have proved over and over again government has no business running business
Let private investors who have something to loose run them, not civil servants who feel they have nothing to loose

When Atiku was honest and courageous enough to say he would sell the refineries if he is elected as president idiots who know nothing about the economy and the mess going in those refineries insulted the man. How can a country be wasting trillions of Naira annually to fix something that just won't work?

Kanixt:
Obasanjo wanted to sell it out, it was Atiku who objected it. Atiku boys still running the refineries

Are you forgetful or intentionally dumb?
Obasanjo actually sold the refineries.
It was Yaradua that reversed it.

Has nothing to do with Atiku.
Atiku wasn't in the good books of OBJ so no way any of his cronies could have benefitted.

Sell these things as scrap with Ajeokuta ...they are draining resources and let private folks do refinery

When it is said that this Tinubu's corrupt government is a disaster Nigeria never deserves, his supporters call people names. This govt must be kicked out in 2027.

The level of corruption in Nigeria is enough to sink the country but God still have us in heart.
Time shall tell if this we continue or Revolution will arise.
Until then.

(I am not a supporter of government, and I do not like tinubu, and never have i voted apc, pdp. Last time election, na obi i support, not because he is perfect, but because of the three, he was the lesser of them evils).

Venezuela had two things, very cheap fuel for decades and a refinery that once produced 900000 bpd. It was one of the world's largest.

Today it still has cheap fuel, but that refinery refines less than 100000 bpd.

Either tinubu is in charge of Venezuela, or APC and PDP and nigerians were running the country...or something is happening.

Subsides help the poor. Yes consumption subsides do, but the big problem...among many...is that they do so at the expense of the profitablity and production of the refineries, and the oil companies.

Now Nigeria...in 1987, we refined 400000 bpd from 4 refinereis,,...by 2012 we refined 92000 bpd...by 2019 it ws 6000 bpd.

Either Venezuelans were running nigeria all this time...or....subsidy does not work.

Meanwhile, Ghana has two refinereis, produces crude oil, has had no subsidy, and them refineries have worked for decades.

I can hear people screaming SEE SAUDI ARABIA. That country produces ten times what we produce and has 40 milllion people. As such they have the cash to run refineries well, and pay subsides (which are less than what Nigeria pays because fuel there is more expensive).

The truth is, when you do consumption subsides, you end up with loss making industries and secctors, and frequent scarcity. Remember ESSENCO...the government trying to subsidise food eventually led to scarcity when oil prices crashed in 1982, and money ran out? See the power secotr, wrecked by years of subsidy.

Most people here run businesses. They won't allow government to set their prices and pay them a subsidy because they would lose money. Yet they abuse me for in essence defending their right to set prices as they see fit...because what is good for the goose is good for the gander.


Like I said, if we want subsidy back, vote in a government that would diversify the economy and move us toward industrialization in 2027. Stop wasting your time with APC and PDP. Don't bring back tinubu.And even this ADC. Don't be afrid of change.


P.S

Se;lling the refineries won't have made a difference, so long as the subsides were there. Anyone buying the refineries would have ended up losing money at the end.

The saboteurs to this failed project are, government, NNPC, oil marketers, and even this I strongly believe is foreign bodies or even country too

A decade ago in opposition they objected to it's sale.

A decade later and 3 billion dollars down the drain, the are silent with rotten eggs in their faces.

The story of Nigeria.
Everyday you look back to what happened in 2015 and what could have been.

This is with out a doubt the saddest, the most devastating period in this country's history perhaps since the civil war.
