Very sad to say the least. If you observe carefully you will see that these northerners are no longer hiding their greed.

These guys are desperately cornering everything to the north at a rate never seen before. They know that Nigeria is going to break sooner or later so they are hurriedly moving all resources to their region yet others are keeping quiet like fools.

Should the NNPC even be building such an expensive project when all it's refineries are down?

It's federal government project. GEJ couldn't start a project in is state, but Bubu is starting from his doorstep.
Charity begins at home.

Never a fan of Bubu, but he sure knows how to flex muscle.
