BREAKING AND URGENT ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


the president of the republic of nigeria has announced to engaged the state in a national broadcast at 7PM today. this is a welcome development by the way.

And we do hope mr president will deliver far reaching reforms to the excruciating pains we are all currently observing now like hunger, pains, economic and financial dislocation and not limited to impending strike anticipated by the leadership of the NLC.


Things I personally want Mr president to touch are listed below:

>> CNG activation across the country within two weeks

>> provision of food stamps across major cities and allowing philanthropic organization to participate

>> immediate policy guidelines to encourage local refinery such as LEGALIZATION of illegal refineries

>> suspension of all major anti people policies for now

God bless a listening president and the FRN.

THE ENERGY MISUNDERSTOOD: TINUBU, DANGOTE REFINERY 2025, LEGALIZATION OF ILLEGAL REFINERY, HUNGER AND IMMINENT CIVIL REVOLUTION CUM INDUSTRIAL STRIKE. PLUS CNG.

PART 1

[s]The energy misunderstood: tinubu, dangote refinery 2025, legalization of illegal refinery[/s]

The honey moon is over for the commander in chief , President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his policy master strokes has plunged the entire country into desolation and moribund crises of massive proportion. As a stakeholder of this country, silence has unfolded to become a crime and never golden again.
This is why I took my pen to assist the government of the day to have arrays of ideas to work with, if there indigenous work plan is failing and adding to our woes collectively. Its designed to be a ten in a series papers to poker the nose of the technocrats in government that whenever there is crises of ideas or ideas blockage , sources like this can fill the lacuna by providing them with raw alternatives. Consultancy fees not attached. One wonders surfeit of ideas that were sold to the FG in the past with extortionate burdens what is the outcome ( kini abo-jade)

This part I will focus on the legalization of illegal refineries strewn across the country specifically the Niger Delta region. Wisdom and argument have been postulated on demerit of illegal refinery and one consensus opinion hinges on attendant pollution that arises from such ventures and the strength of this paper is to handle and proffer answer to it. Ideologues across the economic circle believes one way of reducing poverty is creating …..


The solution to our problems over many decades that has eluded us is however in the crevices of our palms and pocket trouser and one sane thinker wonder how and where we missed it all this while. Modern enterprise, today, enriched themselves on the plethora of ideas and technology that they created and they protect it as a brand and financial securities for sole purpose of monetization, income generation , wealth addition and job creation for the benefit of their people. It should be abundantly clear to us that no Nations of the world is going to assist us in restoration of our refineries. It is to their eternal achievements that we remained backward (our loss is their gain, as simple as ABC) in our energy sufficiency particularly in PMS and its derivatives production and depend solely on them, meanwhile ours economy is solely driven by two hydra devils namely PMS and dollar. This two are capable to either send the people to guillotine if not properly managed or create abundance and prosperity for all if the reverse approach is taken. It’s a carbuncle that this basics is not well understood by the people and above all the economic adviser to the Govt of the day at any particular point in our history. The elites , who are suppose to be the drivers , torchlight and catalyst, have commited a massive economic crime against the people in the context of the Nigerian state. Why did we drop the ball. Its preposterous that the state funded refinery is moribund and distasteful to the reasonable minds that the engineers and other ancillary workers working there are still collecting bogus salary. What a gross inefficiency! Whereas, rag tag army of unemployed youth can be so organized under the banner of status called[b] "illegallity"[/b] to refine petrol for people consumption. Wise people will have embrace this technology and create a massive industry around these little piece by providing platforms, operational frame work and set up indigenous seed of industrialization from here.

Timeline:
= 1965, Nigeria developed and launched her first refinery in port harcourt with a capacity to refine 60,000 barrels per day, in same port harcourt anothrt one was built to refine 150,000 barrel in 1989. Alltogeter portharcourt refineries have the capacities of combined 200,000 barrels per day.
= the other two refineries are located in warri and kaduna respectively

Summary:

>> The leader of this country should do quick to avert civil revolution reason being that their are huge hunger in the land and business are dieing

>> now that subsidy is gone, why is Govt is very slow in providing sustainable alternative

>> CNG is the way to go. Govt should embark on this now to provide succour to the populace

>> while waiting for the rapid deployment of CNG , the Govt should convert illegal refinery to legal one

Truly truly miracle exist just as the altruism goes. All govt Revenue agency that were hitherto moribund and comatose have all suddenly self-resuscitated and are all miraculously declaring profits. Wonder shall Neva ends

With all due respect sir, why u dey misyarn nau...Mr Alake

Tinubu, I have withdrawn my initial support for you on this obnoxious policy; reason being that ain't working and the masses are economically subjugated. One way out now is to restore out confidence by Legalization of illegal refinery and create a road map to scale up formal indigenous industrialization from this unappreciated home grown solution and technology. SOJA , our preprosterous SOJA, that cannot build ordinary small arms by themselves are in cahoots to destroy home made technology should henceforth desist and allow it to breath. As for the attendant pollution that is an immediate fallout, it's duty of govt to create massive industry around it so that the waste products can be harnessed to Generate wealth and create reduction in environmental pollution and at the same time creating series of wealth along the value chain. Nobody should entertain excuses that the illegal refinery are not safe simply because the so called FG Multi Billion dollars build refinery has not fared better and cover itself in glory but bring shame to our motherland and disgracing the black race, if for any reason it is worse.

Now that rumours have it that Our dependable Dangote refinery will take off in 2025, Haba!!!! The arguments of home grown refinery, or legalization of illegal refinery becomes valid.

Ikaeniyan0:
Go and make some research about illegal refineries in the niger Delta cause I can see by your comment you don't know how they look like.

I stand for efficiency, what do I mean, careful management of scarce resources with maximum derivations.

All the four refinery that are legal, travel wide and see how dey look. Research on how much TAM they have gulped and come back here to report to the forum. No offense. As long as the Legal refinery is de-efficiently managed and the illegal ones are thriving in terms of production. In Nigerian space as of today, I will allow the illegal refinery to thrive and develop gradually. Lobatan!

Dango Kukuma shift it to 2050! We go all dey all right.

In meantime, SOJA should allow illegal refinery to breath and quick operational guidelines should be fast track and develop to see early Legalization of illegal refinery scattered across the Niger Delta.

Babathanks:
I think am the only person that have this same thinking ooo. Some Nigerian are just too daft, many of them are supporting the government on them. They should ask themselves, why can't the government empower all this people?. Many people here are comparing us with the west and UAE. They should ask themselves, are we in the same level. What I think is for the government to find a way to resolve this hike in petroleum using the illegal bunkery. Many people are suffering because of this. And many people have quit work cos of this

I agree with u sir. I started hearing d word " illegal refinery" since Abacha days as far back as 1995. Imagine. That means we have some genius Nigerian's who have basic knowledge of how to produce PMS since those Abacha eras.

Imagine if we have bring them in and guide them and regulate their productions and sell crude to them in Naira legally and allow them to grow organically, the usual Nigeria land is full of milk and honey will have become a reality today and we would be shielded from international oil politics madness. Furthermore, our commitment to their growth will not affect our production and commitment to OPEC quota. A win win situation. The country would have nurture them to extent that we will also be catering for countries in west Africa energy demand.

Conversely, when Obj and Abacha license and liberalize telephony in this country, The first generation of fones that we started with were called GSM. And development has scaled up in that sector today that we are appraised with Android run phones and more to come. If we contextualize our home grown technology of refining oil in this setting, there is space for growth and development and opportunity for massive job creations and above all attendant reduction in poverty across multiple sectors. Not with mouth experience under Buhari in terms of reducing poverty by wish not by action.

Legalization of illegal refinery is our solution.

If d people we dey copy have a single state having more than 50 refinery sites in Texas. What's d big deal in having Ten refinery sites each state of the Niger Delta and are private sector driven run at smes level with corporate guidance and state backen.


Stop destroying home grown technology in the name of labelling them illegal. Legalize them and that alone can move 20Mi people out of poverty. Indians have done it, same as Brazil.

The Brazil have encouraged their illegal aircraft company to grow wings and develop. Today we have embraier air producing heavy duty aircraft. They develop alcohol from casavva and in turn used it to fuel their cars and piston engine across their industry. Assuming it is in our clime, Govt agency will describe it as illegal and kills people dream. Govt cannot provide job , they cannot think. Ordinary palliative meant for the poorest of the poor, people earning 20Mi per months as salary are begging to be part of palliative ( Nigerian legislator, eyesores!)

In india, their home grown technology has significantly advance through Tata motors and presently indian has joined the big 5 countries in spaces development. Just last week on India soil, they launch a rover to the the space. What England is yet to do. In Nigeria, their development will have been hindered with the voice of destroy it they are illegal.

We have to turn away from this one way thinking and embrace multiple ideas that can drive us out of the wood, No country in the world will shows us the secret by transferring their technology soft power to us. Never. Our development must be grown from bottom top and we must trust the process and believe in our dream. Innoson is one example of a singular individual believing and living his dream and this is the period he needs the state to come in aggressively for support and advance his dream further.

Funny Africans. You cannot maintain a refinery build by the west but the local refinery build by own people is labeled illegal technology. This is where our solution lies, legalize this illegal refinery. Remove prohibition, remove restrictions that made them far from legal . In a decades time, with capacity building, experience on the job , they will be competing with the west and we extricate ourselves from the technology shackles of the west.
Legalization of the illegal refinery is the therapy to our underdevelopment in the energy sector. Simple as ABC

Na this thing ( Front package), u used confused oga Jonah in d olden days in d bibl.madaam

This is the predicted showtime.

Maybe Elon don cut internet signals to Whatsapp. Just maybe

Tekzyflex:
Rivers state government should be held accountable for not promoting workers for 12 years and non implementation of the 30k minimum wage. This is the height of wickedness and insensitivity. They state had decided to impoverish it's workers.

Imagine! With the audacity to build a road (50km) at a cost of 195 Billion naira. What sort of infrastructure is that at this point in time. What sort of priority is that without having effort to boost human capital, human welfare in the face of glaring poverty everywhere. Things cannot go on like this. The people welfare, salary and pension should take a center stage and a shift away from building unnecessary road for now.

This is one way to assist the Tinubu's government to glide his way through this difficult economic crises we have found ourselves as a nation.

1) This is the time to legalize our over 100s illegal refinery that are stationed in the Niger Delta, for the singular purpose of providing cheap fuel at a cost price below N200/L . This is so essential for the country survival and stability while we await for Dangote refinery that has proven to forever be a pipe dream. Legalization of illegal refinery is the key to our survival in a short term and there is bound to see enhanced technology and technically driven capacity down the lines. The immediate benefits of this policy is to shield, buffer and protect our economy and energy sufficiency from the cankerworms of international profiteers and domination.

2) Food banks should be set up where citizen can get staples food at a reduce price. This can be called poor market and it to provide alternative to the people who cannot afford swirling cost of food prices in the regular markets. This is a short term therapy for the economic shock. The market will also be designed to open twice in a week. At the end of d day, people with low income and lower pace of the ladder will be adequately protected and carried along pending when this current biting pepperish tinubunomics policies will start yielding gains.

For emphasis, Let us legalizes illegal refinery now and provide food banks across the zones of the country to mitigate the pains of the Tinubu's presidency and his austerity measures.

MadamExcellency:
Nigeria should start transacting in Dollars. If what drives our economy and market hinges on Forex, especially the Dollars, then we should adopt the use of dollars in the payment of salaries to civil servants.

Correct. Make we Abolish Naira, since our leaders have proven beyond reasonable doubt, to have poor understanding of basic economics

They should pay us in dollars. Shikenna

Babastrong:
I/don/dey/doubt/Tinubu/presidency.

Seconded. The presidency has gone rogue and Mad!

Tinubu has officially started on a wrong FOOTING.


He don used his hand to crash his govt with these obnoxious steps of connivance with the evil rooted Assembly to repair Limousine furniture with 70B in the face of national Hunger and stomach ulcers and children malnutrition.

onumadu:
Tinubu's real age is beginning to show more and more.
The dude looks like the grandfather of all African presidents there.
To think that Nigeria with the world's most youthful population can only send a grandpa to the AU is the greatest insult on Nigerian youths.

Stone03:
That's you people voted out Okonjo and GEJ and vote in Mr Integrity, the Saint. So let's focus on him, his 8 years is enough to give us refinery and he has commissioned one before leaving the office and we were promised to have it's first product this month. Where is the product? Leave Okonjo and GEJ out of this

Alright. Mr good stone .

Me too: this pain is too much oooo. Where is the oyel, fuyel
Since okonjo and Gej days, d refinery neva cooked finished!!!!!!!

Reminding Olodo about our history cum Gej subsidy removal.

The following parameters

1) Half of the population accepted that subsidy must go, particularly the elite. I am one of those that opposed it

2) There were series of debate on why subsidy must let go on TV. Open debate. Oshiomole/ Falana vs Sanusi/ okonjo/Minister of petroleum

3) All these robust debates happened in 2011

4) Wrong Foot, Wrong Strategy: The president remove subsidy on January 2nd 2012. This was a time everyone was observing their holiday in their village in all corners of Nigeria . Those who are worse hit were those city dwellers and civil servants that were observing their vacation in their country home.

The analysis then was that , the president action amount to wrong timing: January,is when family will pay school fees and people have exhausted their savings during this period while celebrating the new year but the masses would not mind if subsidy was removed in February or any other months apart from January 2nd to be specific. This is the history.

Yes we Do!
Makes u guys appear pure and elegant.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu the eyeneck president select will be bundled out of Aso rock before the 14th days because Obi is coming

Bigkoko:
Anyone following the legal fireworks at the PEPT, within the past few weeks can predict with some high degree of certainty that Mr. Asiwaju Govt would be thrown out, permanently or at least temporarily.

The reasons are quite clear; they could not articulate a grand response to the accusations of electoral heists, qualification questions, perjury, frauds and INEC non adherence to guidelines. The three respondence; Asiwaju, APC & INEC could not respond appropriately. To compound their woes, EU, a major financier of Nigerian elections have released a damning report; in summary, INEC under Prof Yaks cheated for the ruling party!

Even if the judges want to help them, I'm pretty sure their hands are now tied because the whole world can see how shallow, myopic and stupid their legal response was. Witnesses were simply indicting Asiwaju faster than you can drink fanta! The only option they gat was to hurriedly closed their response before more witnesses further compound their woes!

This is not to talk of the embarrassment their legal team led by Oga Wole Olanipku faced when without warning all three witnesses refused to show up in court at the same time! The only witness who agreed to come; a fake pastor who refused to even touch the Bible he plies his trade with, and some other lewd fellow; a so called senator with background in Law. This senator called Bamidele, who I believe had some up bringing in the States, not only destroyed the little doubt left, but also confirmed what is public knowledge. That indeed Asiwaju is a convict whether civil or criminal, that's not the issue. He's a convict. Whole hwa!!!.
So much for Jagaban of Bourdilion! The end is truly near for this mercurial politician who held Lagos in a vice like grip since 1999!

On the other part,
Obidients should Start Preparing for a possible Rerun: Asiwaju knows this! This is the best he can get from the honorable judges!

LP & HE Peter Obi have proved their case beyond reasonable doubt, and APC, INEC and Asiwaju could not even acquire 3 willing, sane witnesses each against the PDP & LP.... So much for the paper tiger of Bourdilion.

All Lovers of democracy worldwide wish there won't be a rerun, but rather a declaration that HE Peter Obi indeed won the election fair & square!

So what are we to do?
Firstly we must retrospect and understand that obidients have achieved what we call "Critical Mass" in physics. This Mass is formidable in enforcement of the Right way of doing things.

What is the right way? A credible INEC, with an unbiased posture, and a guideline everyone must strictly adhere to. Elections must be collate, announced under video at PU and upload real time for anyone to view, 20 minutes after close of elections. Simple.

With this set up, a crooked, highly dishonest Prof like Mahmud INEC chairman won't have the time to manipulate the figures or if another crook is sneaked in, the figures won't add up. Imagine after months elections was conducted they couldn't upload all results because the figures refused to add up!

Next, we must exert pressure on INEC. The campaign should be, Prof Yaks should go! Mr. Okoye should go! All top management that allowed this broad day light heist should go. They should be made to face prosecution, at least for derelict of duty! All of them. That way a msg would be passed to the new INEC chairman, eat corn, go to jail.

A credible team from ethnic minority should be assembled and the election entrusted to them. Don't forget the ethnic minorities are the most oppressed in Nigeria. Think of what is going on in North Central & far North. Time to allow these folks determine the leaders of Nigeria. Igbo, Fulani, Yoruba don try.

No Yoruba, no Hausa-fulani, no Igbo as INEC chairman in the coming fresh elections. An election guideline should be issued. A date announced and let the party begin. Anyone who tries to induce voters with money, or cart away ballot box should be lynched on the spot & feed to hungry lions at the zoo. Even if he's a soldier or policeman. If suffer no dey tired am, make he continue am for lion belle, heaven or hell or anywhere he see himself.

Any result that is not uploaded real time after close of voting should be collected from the PU officer, announced and the PU officer made to announce his name, rank and the results before giving it back to him to take to the collation center.

If you dey do charm, make sure you load your with it, as guns are not allowed.
There's a reason why the West allows individuals to own guns..... Since guns are allowed, charms, amulet, are a veritable option!
Anyone who disrupt the election whether uniform man or not, after the election, make sure to do a follow-up on the fool!

Nigeria must be reset by 🔥, by force.

Nice Treatise. Amaaa, we shall implements this in 2027. Is that okay!

[quote author=Beremx post=124288006]Our political leaders aren't condemning Mmesoma because they are also cheats in the game. Even though the girl didn't try by cheating, the audacity to even defend it is what baffled me.

This one will also pass.

Hmmmm
