So because EVs are the trend in developed climes we should jump in wholesale without thinking about the implications for our economy?

oluwaseyi0:
I completely agree to that

The West keep pushing climate change after they use the then available resources to improve their own economy, knowing fully well that African don't have access to enough 'clean energy ' they are forcing us to abandon what we have for what we don't have

Kobicove:
We don't need their permission to use fossil fuels.

The US is not a signatory to the climate change agreement and has stated that they will never sign it therefore no one can force African countries to abide by it.

We too must generate our own share of greenhouse gases

Wotowotoman:
You are a holder of a masters in sustainability and you dey talk say na corruption dey hold Nigeria back from developing its oil fields? Dem no teach una Paris Alignment wey oyibo man dey shout up and down for the quack program?

If oyibo man talk say fossil fuel no good for environment and stop their banks and oil companies from supporting oil projects, who go dash Naija the money to develop the oil fields??

Ogbeni, if you went true true to a school and this is your take, go collect your money back from that school immediately

Mohammed wants to save the planet when he has not saved his country but lies shamelessly to the world that his country is next to heaven.

A shameless old man.

epainos:
Shaking my head. I too know....indeed

Did the so called agreement hold Dangote back? Has there been anytime Dangote came out to tell you that the agreement is what is disturbing production? So, you are alive in Nigeria and na Paris whatever agreement dey disturb oil money?


And has it happened till today? Dangerous completed his refinery, and Tanzania is calling him to build a replica. So, who has been stopped so far from making money with oil in his nation? A beg tell me. Cos you sabi am.


I dont need to reply you. It shows very well you are well informed. Zero over zero.

MadPolitician:
Instead of borrowing trillions to do owanbe as your uncles are doing today, or borrowing billions of dollars to build up Niger Republic as Buhari did, try borrowing from a compassionate entities and use those funds to invest in the development of your hydrocarbons. You don't have to enslave your generation just to dance to the whims and caprices of the SHELL and CHEVRONs of this world.

Thank you!

Did you even read or understand what he said as written in the report above?


See, for the first time in a long while or ever, Lai has spoken the truth a 100%.

Why will people who used Coal, Petro and Diesel to develop and build their societies and economies ask us to not use them as well because according to them, they have discovered it as a cause of global warming.

At least, let us contribute our own quota first before you string our hands.

Note that most of these countries being denied these rights as per being signatories to some of these imperialist pacts have these resources in huge sums.

Apart from Africa having wicked leaders in the mould of the Tinubus of this world, the West is a leech and they should hands off Nigeria.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, is this what you get from reading the article? I doubt that this one don pass WAEC and JAMB. Walahi, this is very embarrassing!

This one say na compassionate entities. I dare you to name any such compassionate entities that can give Naija billions of dollars for oil projects. I dare you. Even world bank and AfDB have stopped lending to oil and gas producers because na the same oyibos dey fund them. Ogbeni, if you no sabi something, you are better off just keeping shut!!

MadPolitician:
If you don't stop with the insults, expect me to rain hard on you with insults going forward..
You know nothing about what you are trying to pontificate on and you are trying to bully your father..?

Iran and Venezuelas oil industries were basically kept running by Chinese funding, and the Chinese were making money off it as those countries produced almost the same amount of oil per day as Nigeria even under sanctions..

Your unbiblical cords are not tied to America/Western world/IMF or World Bank!
Get a grip and stop pontificating on issues way above your pay grade. Are you sure you yave even been in real business in your life?

You can get the Chinese to easily fund such projects and arrange a pricing system afterwards that helps them recoup their investments from oil/gas imports, while you reap your profits...

Funding in the oil industry is not secluded only to the Western financial systems.
Even middle Eastern oil rich countries will buy into the venture if properly structured..

So this useless grandfather still dey alive I think say him don go in to extinction 🦤🦣🦣

Africa always lagging behind in matters of technological development.

Electric Vehicles is the trend in developed climes, but it will take another 20yrs for same to happen in Africa.

Climate Change: Allow Africa Use Fossil Fuels for Development, Lai Mohammed Urges Developed Nations

Former Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has called on developed nations to allow African countries greater flexibility in the use of fossil fuels to drive economic growth and infrastructure development.

Mohammed made the call on Thursday while speaking at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where he addressed students as part of a series of international engagements.

Responding to a question on how developed nations can assist Africa in mitigating the effects of climate change, the former minister criticised what he described as “hypocrisy” in the global climate discourse.

“I’m afraid my position on this will shock you. I think there is a lot of hypocrisy around this climate change issue, especially regarding what developed nations expect from developing countries,” he said.

According to him, countries in Europe and North America relied heavily on fossil fuels to build their economies, infrastructure, and transportation systems, and should not deny Africa the same opportunity.

“The developed world used fossil fuels to build their infrastructure, transportation systems, roads and the like. The only asset we have is fossil fuel. We must be allowed to use it to build our infrastructure and economy,” Mohammed stated.

While acknowledging the importance of protecting the environment, he stressed the need for differentiated responsibilities.

“We agree that we must not endanger nature, but different rules will have to apply. We must be given a lot of leeway and concessions. We must be allowed to use our fossil fuels to develop our economy and infrastructure,” he added.

Mohammed also highlighted Nigeria’s development challenges, particularly in the tourism and events sector. He noted that despite hosting an estimated 20,000 events monthly in Lagos, the country lacks adequate infrastructure such as purpose-built conference and event centres.

“At a recent Commonwealth Trade and Investment Forum, the issue of over-tourism was raised. I pointed out that our problem in Nigeria is under-tourism. We need more investment in tourism infrastructure,” he said.

He concluded by reaffirming Africa’s commitment to global climate efforts, while insisting that the continent must be granted concessions to meet its development needs.

“We will join the world in saving the planet, but we must be given concessions,” Mohammed said.
