And there is the reason why Nigerians will keep hating u people, I know u dream of Yoruba all ur life omo yiboh

Veqtor:
Oga go nd sit down. Wat are Igbo using ur dirty love to do? Has ur hatred removed one strand of hair from der heads?

You people dat nigerians love so much...we have seen ur progress na... Zamfara are digging dere gold nd keeping d profits....whereas, Chinese people nd ur fulani govt is packing u pple’s gold in Osun, and still using u ppl as manpower to steal d gold.

What I'm trying to say here is...it's high time everyone stop ds tribal wars on threads, and face d real problem.

The fulani foreigners have taken advantage of ds division and are robbing the whole South of der heritage.

Ds foreigners are now number 1 citizens in ur country.

Ur hatred is misplaced.

AKK GAS PIPELINE TO TAKE GAS FROM NIGER DELTA TO AREWA – LET’S STOP IT!

President Buhari is [b]determined [/b]to take it forward. It’s another signature project on which the name “Buhari” will be written in gold, to be remembered long after he leaves Aso Rock.

AKK GAS PIPELINE TO TAKE GAS FROM NIGER DELTA TO AREWA – LET’S STOP IT!

In 2017 Buhari signed a deal with Chinese to build the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline.

It takes gas from Niger Delta in raw form all the way to Arewa. Had the gas been processed in Niger Delta we can say Niger Deltans at minimum have jobs. But even the jobs go to Arewa!

The world is moving away from crude oil so gas is a new money maker. The 1999 Constitution that takes away the natural resources of Niger Deltans was NEVER agreed to by the indigenous people of Niger Delta who are the owners of the resources. The 1999 Constitution is a forgery (Google it) so it is a great injustice to Niger Deltans. Now their gas is being taken as well as their crude oil by Arewa. Our forefathers had insisted on Self-Determination before Independence as a condition to be in the Union called Nigeria. But since the January 1966 coup that original Nigeria was taken down and a unitary system to steal and control Niger Deltan resources came into being.

Why are the leaders of PANDEF silent about this AKK gas pipeline that steals from indigenous owners? Have they been compromised?

We of the South will NEVER be free without SELF-DETERMINATION! One Nigeria will keep on stealing from us. This Union would never have happened because our forefathers only came into it with the condition of having self-determination. Self-determination is a UN cardinal point and a human right!

Our generation has been enslaved through lack of self-determination by military decrees and now the 1999 Constitution. Will we allow this slavery to continue upon our children? Are we under a spiritual problem that has made us statues that cannot love our children enough to want them to have a good future?

Read the article (link below) to see that the gas for Miyetti Buhari’s AKK gas pipeline is from Niger Delta!
Quoting:

“ONE of the big promises made by President Muhammadu in his campaign for Nigeria’s presidency is the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline project.
The project entails the “engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning” of 614-kilometers gas pipeline and stations, traversing the states of Kogi, Niger, FCT, Kaduna and Kano. IT IS TO TRANSPORT DRY GAS FROM THE NATION’S RICH GAS FIELDS IN THE NIGER DELTA TO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF NIGERIA…”

AKK GAS PIPELINE: PRESIDENT BUHARI’S BIG INFRASTRUCTURE PUSH
O & G Links
Mar 09, 2020

ONE of the big promises made by President Muhammadu in his campaign for Nigeria’s presidency is the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) gas pipeline project.

The project entails the “engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning” of 614-kilometers gas pipeline and stations, traversing the states of Kogi, Niger, FCT, Kaduna and Kano. IT IS TO TRANSPORT DRY GAS FROM THE NATION’S RICH GAS FIELDS IN THE NIGER DELTA TO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF NIGERIA.

This pipeline project is itself a section of an ambitious pipeline project to supply gas to Europe through the proposed Trans Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGO) and Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipelines.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) under President Buhari last week took the important and decisive step to fast track the closure of all outstanding issues relating to the financing and the issuance of a Sovereign Guarantee (SG) to support debt service and China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation, SINOSURE’s policy to underwrite up to a maximum of 85 per cent of the project cost, which is now reduced to USD 2,591,849,049.19. The earlier contract, approved by this administration for the AKK was USD2,890,522,548.37 based on 100 per cent “Contractor Financing Model.”
This changed when SINOSURE offered to underwrite 85 per cent only of the entire contract sum and the basis of the relationship changed to “EPC Lump Sum Contract Award.”

This arose from a rethinking on the part of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) which came up with a new project financing design by with the balance of 15 percent of financing was taken up by them. The Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) a subsidiary of the NNPC quickly intervened to provide the required 15 per cent, the equivalent of US 434 million equity contributions from internal sources and accumulated revenues.

To quicken the speed of the project takeoff, this 15 per cent equity funding has been paid and will be used to proceed with the project to mitigate further delays and ensure that the project is back on track.

The “gas penetration” to these areas of the country will significantly reduce energy cost for industries along the pipeline corridor in addition to the massive generation of employment during and after the construction.

In addition to the creation of employment and serving as a boost to industrialization through gas based industries and power generation sectors as beneficiaries of this project, the AKK will increase government revenues, encourage exports and enhance the nation’s foreign reserves by reducing dependence on imports. It is equally hoped that the project, upon its completion, will ensure that economic challenges being witnessed in the northern region due to shortage of gas supply are addressed.

It will also give the nation energy security and act as a catalyst to propel industrial development and boost agriculture in the country.
This project is among the cardinal policy objectives of the Buhari administration and its realization will be a major accomplishment of the government’s efforts in the delivery of democracy dividends.

The project is environmentally friendly as it will contribute to the elimination of gas flaring, improve the health of communities in the oil producing areas, reduce the nation’s carbon footprints and comply with climate control treaties to which the nation is signatory.

The resolution of the outstanding issues around the AKK project at this time should send an important message that the journey to its realization is for real.

The President is determined to accomplish the project in the 24-month period of the signed agreement. The period falls within the balance of period covered by his Second Four Year Term.

We are a country notorious for truncating government projects on account of changes in administrations. Except for the Buhari experiment, marking a break with the past, Presidents, governors and council chairmen don’t come to office with the mind of completing projects they met.

They alone want their signature on the projects they execute. So they stop work on those projects they met and start new ones. In the end, they leave office without finishing what they started, adding thereby to the nation’s mountain of uncompleted projects.

The difference President Buhari makes is that he insists on completion, rather than the commencement of new projects except where it is extremely necessary.

If you take away the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano expressway, all the major projects under the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund with dedicated funding from the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, and lately the recovered loot from Abacha are all inherited from past administrations: the Second Niger Bridge, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Mambila Power Project.

All the major spendings in the Ministry of Transportation, specifically the standard gauge railways linking the south to the north and the west to the east are geared towards project completion. Under the Ministry of Water Resources, no new projects have been budgeted in the last five years. All money allocated to the ministry is towards the completion of projects started and abandoned, some of them going back to the President’s years in the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF).

Thankfully, we are seeing a harvest of so many of these projects, due to the President’s insistence and the focus and dedication of the ministers in his cabinet.

The AKK project which will now leave the drawing board towards its execution and completion was agreed to in June, 2009 between Gazprom, the Russian gas monopoly, in a signed deal to invest at least $2.5bn in a new joint venture with Nigeria’s state-owned oil company NNPC to explore and develop the country’s vast gas reserves.

The formation of the 50:50 joint venture, between Gazprom and the NNPC named Nigaz, followed a prolonged courtship by Russia which began under Vladimir Putin by the administration of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua. If floundered with his death. This time around, there is no going back on the AKK project because there is a market already waiting. It has off-takers, when completed, with Abuja on cue to having a 1,350MW power plant, Kaduna, 900MW and Kano, 1,350MW.

President Buhari is [b]determined [/b]to take it forward. It’s another signature project on which the name “Buhari” will be written in gold, to be remembered long after he leaves Aso Rock.

Buhari is biulding a massive pipeline to take natural gas mainly from Assa fields in the east to Niger republic while pretending he is taking the gas to Europe! On the way, they will biuld close too 4000 MW power stations at Abuja, Kano and Kaduna respectively.., maybe some in Niger republic as usual, but NONE in the whole of the former eastern Nigeria, the source of the pipeline! Not even one!!! This is by far, one project that is going to test the resolve of eastern youths! The nepotism embedded here is soooo suffocating, you want to throw up!! @ Op, the gas fields effected are both in SS and SE. Infact, most of the gas being piped are from imo and abia gas fields, the largest in this continent.

Buhari showed the worst type of tribalism in this very project and somehow thought he has gotten away with that by buying off mercenary Igbo eastern leaders in Abuja with petty construction contraacts. He is fooling himself. Chickens will ultimately come home to roost at the appointed time... You know what? The pipeline is so vast that even if you employed the whole Nigerian army, it won't be enough to safeguard it, so the best security prospect would have been to use the project to develop the south east and the south south energy sector as well so as to tie the people's energy demands to the line. Buhari refused! We are his colony, abi? We will see... I will be do a detailed post on this in few days time..

Seriously noted
While nearly all our siblings are slaving out their lives in USA , Canada and Europe just to survive and send something down here, the Fulanis have captured all their heritages to themselves including jobs opportunities and resources of Niger Deltans in the name of one evil Nigeria.

Let's take it back

TRYING you say? That ship has already set sail! They're succeeding as we speak.....all because of naive and daft idiots that populate the south (esp' south-east and south-south)! Imo, part of where the gas is being exploited from, has Nigerian gov't ever invested 1 billion dollars in any infrastructure since it was created?

They've finished with oil and moved on to gas!

TooMuchStuff:
Parasite. We are coming
We have started. Worthless illiterate of North will be out and dry soon. Hope our border with Arewa will be higher than Donald Trump Wall of Mexico.

We don't want to see Almajiris in Southern nation .

The amount of renewable energy in the north and northern Africa generally is stunning. I cannot comprehend the fixation on oil and gas. Wind, sunshine and water is there so I can't understand the idea of oil & gas at all cost.
