Why Hav Our Politicians Refused To Giv Us A Refinery? by Nobody:
I was checking out the top 25 refineries in the world on google and I discovered dat Chevron, Total, Agip, Shell, Mobil, and all d major oil companies in Nigeria all hav dia own refineries abroad. Why has our government refused to ask dem to build a refinery in Nigeria?

So I begin to ask myself, is it becos of the sheer wickedness of our polithiefcians dat we do not hav a working refinery in Nigeria?

So naija is d only country with oil dat has no refinery?

Dis is just not right at all!

Your question has been answered, now pay me cheesy.

They make money through exporting the crude then importing the refined oil back into the country. Also our lack of maintenance culture means if refineries get built they might not survive longer than a two-tenure rule.

let me start by saying, I support nobody here either GEJ, PDP or APC.

the truth jst have to be told,
first is corruption, inconsistent policy at different angle of gov parastatals, agency.

secondly, gov has no business wit the industry, either FG or STATE. it shld be run independently, and oil companies remit taxes to giv pocket, gov shld only be concerned abt their tax, dat all. bt bcause of corruption, FG can allow d industry to be.


thirdly is total deregulation of the oli section, bth downstream and upstream.. jst like the telecom sectir. no gov interference at any level, gov agency jst need to make them abide by rules and regulation. that all.




let tyem ff thise three tin, and you will see that the oil giant in the world will scramble ontop each other to have a refinery here in our country, the like of BP, total, shell, CNPC, and a whole lot of oil magnate will fall in.


we all knw hw much a min call was bak in year 2000, bt now with 10, even less, we can mak a minute call.


NOTE. wen I mean total deregulation., I mean gov shld remive his hand completely, and let investors take charge, they shld go wit their useless subsidy, thit we will feel it for like two yr or more, but on the lng run, blive me, prices of PMS AGO and the likes, will comes down very well, we might even be buying it at less than #50.

More like asking why you keep voting for the same people and expect things to change.

lolz, Gej got what he deserve,
1. was there any public enlightenment prior to the subsidy remover
the masses were not carry along, is as simple as that.

2.you dnt jst wake up one day and remove subsidy jst like that, rendering the masses impotent. my broda, tinz are nt done that way. Gej oath to know better


Gej took the right step in the wrong direction, firstly there shld be public enlightenment, , let the masses knw the lng tym gain and the immediate effect the removal will av on them, again you dnt jst remove all at once, you do it step by step, it might take the Gov two to three yrs to remove the subsidy, and during those period gov will strive hard to put tinz in place to reduce or caution the effect of the subsidy removal on the masses. during the enlightenment, you will let the masses knw how much will be ok, that is your final target like then which is 140. then tell them the process of removing it, that on dis date, such amount will be remove, again after 6-9mnth again such amount will be remove again, till u get to your final destination, the masses are already aware of it.

they will be the one anxiously waiting for the date to come, not for we to wake up on a new yr day that everybody is celebrating and you jst dis out the bad news, and you wnt the masses to clap for you that you have done well. it is absurd.
