That's a logical argument that you make but Nigeria is headed by a half-wit and his cohorts.

The smart thing to do in a country known for fuel shortages would be to invite those who engage in this business - have them sit down with financiers and lay out their plans so that both parties can arrive at a rational solution.

Alas, Buhari has never had an intelligent thought in his life and at 73 years of age it's unlikely that trend will change.

This is the most uninformed view . Refineries are everyday industries. We dont need or shoukd be running old distillation pots and think we are doing good things to our economy. This is systemic breakdown brought about by indiscipline and large scale corrupt.
Why cant we maintain our existing refineries?. Why did we not support the private refineries we hsve licensed furing Jonathans time which i still believe was the wirst and most ineffectual government Nigeria ever haf.
Refineries are low margin businesses that require efficency and discipline, maybe that is why we are throwing in the towel and even thinking of regularising these distillation pots but you know what?. They use to have one in Sierra Leone. There are good refineries in Jamaica. So apart from Nigerian slackness, cortuption, weakness and mediocrity why couldn't we fix and expand existing refineries. They are not even profitable below 30000 barrels per day so even the licensed modular mini refineries will struggle. By the way how are we even going to supply modular refineries?. Truck?, Pipelines..how many of them? Railways..where are the tracks?.
Before PDP came into government, the NNPC was running refineries. In the 70s and 80s, they had the mist sophisticated distribution network for refined products called PPMC. All that has gone down the drain bevause of GREED and dead brain, clueless abd corrupt fools in government. We need to develop some DISCIPLINE for Chrissakes.

Any way the following are the harmful effects of crude oil. I know most Nigerians are dumb, lazy and undisciplined but there is a price to pay for every thing;

1. Crude oil is TERATOGENIC ' birth defects and fetal distortion
2. Crude oil contains benzene- Carcinogenic compound
3 . Liver damaging compounds
4 . Central nervous system damage
5. Pollution to fishing waters
6. Destruction of mangrove swamps - mangrove forests takes 60 years to grow.

You have made a series of uninformed, prejudicial statements.

I said that those who have knowledge of the business should sit down with financiers so as to come up with a plan to continue their business in a safe, civil manner. Not to continue the same low level bunkering that they engage in currently.

A well thought-out business plan presupposes that those involved have engaged in planning, which is the discipline that you speak of.

As to your claim that GEJ's government was the worst that Nigeria ever had, you must be drunk or just simply very simple minded. Nigeria had Yar'adua in which nothing besides bribe paying took place; OBJ in which money for electricity generation schemes vanished into thin air; Abacha, Babangia and Buhari who all destroyed Nigeria to such an extent that Nigeria was one of the poorest nations on the African continent in 1998.

I know that people like you hate data but the evidence shows that you are wrong on GEJ.

There is no safe , efficient , profitable manner to run refineries below 30000barrels per day capacity.
I am saying that authoritatively.

I have done some consulting in that industry. I know what I am talking about.

Even modular refineries DON'T if you do the business plan feasilbility work not to talk of "tin pot distillation pots".

It is serious confusion you want to cause with the supply chain of barges of crude from Bonny and Forcados, taking crude to 300 mini refineries inside fragile ND ecosystems for refining in small refineries. God, it is too scary to think of.
The pollution, insecurity, public health issues, destructive of ecology, social systems and so on is too scary to be imagined. And in 2020, electric cars come on the scene and we realise we are actually born STUPID in this country.

My heavy condemnation of the Jonathan government was due to the institutional weaknesses of the era which led to the masses thinking that cutting corners in anything was desirable and possibly government subsidised.

What made Nnamdi kanu and Niger Delta Avengers believe they can confront the Nigerian state in an all out war is a mystery to sane minds. I just pity any groups of people who thinks renegades and militants can match the fire power of the federal government. You all will be skinned alive. God bless our armed forces. God punish Nnamdi Kanu and biafra

McBeal10:
so they arrested these people that do "illegal" refineries but why can't the government make this legal here in Nigeria since they've got the idea but instead choose to refine our own resources outside Nigeria when we've got people who could do it? I'm am not understanding this.

Odimson69:

What is the quality of the fuel being refined there? If their refined product is not causing damage on the machinery it is being used on then their creativity should be harnessed rather than just burning them down!

anonimi:
Why should I START shouting that at least DullardPoo is doing something to secure Niger Delta oil revenue that is shared every month for the 774 LGAs, 36 states and the federal government?
At least if your "only saviour" cannot stabilise oil price, he should be able to stabilise oil supply while he is searching in the Chad basin and Benue basin, not so
