Just warning? How do they intend to prevent this?

They should have a dam in place to manage the surge in water levels. This proactive solution should have been in place ten years ago. The lack of forests is one of the reasons why Nigeria is encountering increased flooding

FreeStuffsNG:
“The daily flow on these rivers indicates a significant increase in water levels, nearing red alert. This warning signifies that a large volume of water is moving through our rivers towards the delta region.”

The solution is to build dams to manage increased water surges in Nigeria. Nigerians are hopeless problem solvers

The release of water from Cameroon's Lagdo Dam has caused flooding in Nigeria, and the failure to build a dam in Adamawa state has contributed to the issue:
Lagdo Dam
The release of water from the Lagdo Dam causes the Benue River to swell, which affects multiple Nigerian states, including Adamawa, Taraba, Benue, and Kogi.
Dasin Hausa Dam
Nigeria and Cameroon agreed to build the Dasin Hausa Dam in Adamawa state to act as a buffer for excess water from the Lagdo Dam, but Nigeria failed to complete the project.
Flooding causes
Other causes of flooding in Nigeria include excessive rainfall, poor drainage, poor road design, deforestation, and poor waste disposal practices.

But would this happen? that's the problem. anything managed by the Nigerian govt is always misappropriation. They know what to do but would never do it due to selfish gains and wickedness. That's why I give it to obj. For the fact he was also corrupt, he saw to the privatization of the communication sector

OBJ was the minister of petroleum from 1999 to 2007. Why didn't he deregulate the petroleum industry as he did the telecom? OBJ created NNPC, and Buhari was its first chairman. They both had a second chain in the 2000s and made it worse.

OBJ is just as bad as Tinubu and co; they have used NNPC as a cash cow to share favours and fund the stolen wealth.

Tinubu is not going to end the corruption that OBJ started.

Eight years of Buharism couldn't solve the problem. Do you think Tinubu, who can't deliver simple fuel to the patrol station, solve the Buhari problem? The North should solve their problems. Educate your children, go back to farming, and secure your institution.

From which refinery?
If subsidy is fully removed, there will be no need of middleman called NNPC.
Till then, NNPC will be involved because of pricing.

Subsidy should be removed and NNPC dismantled to a regulatory body like NCC

DevilsEqual:


Nairametrics said just 44% of Dangote supply can cover all local demand. If thats the case, we should completely rule out any possibility of fuel import, while working well with Dangote to make things works from a fair price point while his own profit is cool enough too

If fuel scarcity can be solved, most NNPC and Oil conmen wont be able to manipulate the market anyhow again

Kyari, think abeg

You want to replace on corruption with another.

Why not try this method?

Ban importation of PMS.

Deregulate the PMS market by removing state control.

Sell the three refineries to local oil producers to encourage competition in the fuel industry, just like the telecom sector.

Nigeria will have over 1.5 million. B/D competing for the entire West Africa and Nigeria market.

Importers buy dirty refined oil for less than N400 per gallon and then sell it to NNPC for N1200. The NNPC resells the oil at a subsidy rate to Nigeria.

The entire process is corrupt and confusing. Remove NNPC and ban the importation of refined oil

My biggest takeaway from all of this

If thats the case, then FG needs to look for a way to find a connecting bridge between Dangote's profitability and Marketers fair price cap

Meeting all local demands will eliminate scarcity and these silly dubious acts by the marketers and the conmen in NNPC


If Dangote continues to export most of his products and Marketers keep importing theirs, then the Dangote refinery is useless to us all

PBAT should be serious about this.

Dangote has to pay tax, and his FX will circulate in the Nigerian economy.

The problem is the dirty imported fuel is cheaper than dangote fuel. The solution is to ban the importation of refined fuel.

My ex a medical student was sleeping with her HOD, with the hope of getting a smooth ride in mbbs, me I was always advising her to read, never knew she is putting her hope on a big god, failed exam and reseat and failed, she repeated the first mbbs class and still got disappointed in the process of wanting to pass her exam she slept with more people, she nearly killed herself when she got the 2nd fail, she changed to medlab, she is 7years in school, she go soon do normal 2 generation in school, funnily she still dae year 4.....she is actually the oldest person in school now

Your grammar is terrible.

belini:
interesting.

Yet nobody is advising nobody to cut government expenditure or slash their allowances

Nothing can work under Tinubu.

In the UK, the Tory Party selected Liz Truss to lead their party and become the new Prime Minister. She immediately announced the implementation of new economic spending without consulting the Bank of England and the government economic adviser; the UK government economy tanked and, within 48 days, should be removed from office.

Tinubu and his government are too incompetent to continue as presidency; announcing the removal of oil subsidies, floating the Naira, commissioning the N15 Trilion Lagos- Calabar Costal road and removing electricity subsidies all within three months with an impact assessment has devasted the economy. Only an incompetent government will carry out the above policies.

Judolisco:
e be like say Government no fit manage anything oh.... In fact do we really have a need to rule ourselves... We should hire private contractors or foreigners to run the country for us.... Be like say we need recolonization

An article from the World Bank stated that Nigerians would be better off without a government. The country would be better if the oil revenue were equally shared with all Nigerians.

There is not a single government agency that works in Nigeria. Remove NNPC and the fuel queue will end the next day.

Judolisco:
What else are you subsidizing? The crude oil is gotten from Nigeria, it is refined in Nigeria.... No more transportation cost.... So what else are you people subsidizing.....

Dangote said his company is capable of supplying the entire nation, is it not common sense to buy from him... Some idiots started shouting monopoly..... Shey we dey craze for dis country..... Na dis fuel matter no go allow tinubu win 2nd term.... Infact anything less than 400 per liter na stone people go stone if he comut to campaign

Nigeria barely extra 1 million barrel per day and majority of that oil has been mortgage by APC thieves Tinubu and Buhari.

Deregulate the market now and remove the government.

What government agency has ever worked in Nigeria.

NFF
NEPA(PHCN)
NITEL

It is not rocket science. Only Nigeria, which has a population of 220 million, has one police force. Why do we have a federal republic?

mcquin:

Are you okay or you are trying to be clever by half? Who are the persons that protested against subsidy removal? Please do not tell me Tinubu was the ring leader.

Since you choose to be stupid, I’ll indulge you. Since Tinubu feels Nigeria is too broke to fund subsidy, why is he running an expensive government lacking in spending priorities? Who buys a presidential yatch in the middle of austerity when even his ardent supporters are decrying reduced purchasing power?

Finally, you are yet to respond to the questions I asked in my earlier quote. If you are intelligent enough, you’d first have attended to each point as a decent co-debator will, not running blackmailing us with “Nigeria must walk.” Who has said Nigeria shouldn’t? Won’t it benefit all of us if Nigeria works?

Continue living in denial. In 2012, when Nigerians were protesting against GEJ's removal of subsidies, you all didn't know that the leaders you were supporting would end up like this.

The leaders that I am writing about are Buhari and Tinubu. They protested against the removal of oil subsidies for self-serving political reasons. Millions of Nigerians supported the protest in 2012, including the useless NLC, and now they are suffering.

The biggest obstacle for Nigerians wouldn't be the tech (tech in fact best suits third world nations) biggest obstacle will end up being FUD spread by Nigeria fossil fuel cabal.

If the masses ever had a mind and determination to switch to Electric and CNG, this would impact and shake Nigeria far more than any mass demonstrations that, in a case, usually only serve the interests of political forces.

Only the Dominica Republic and Egypt have successfully developed 10% of cars with CNG. I would advise that Nigeria take the CNG route when the country cannot supply the PMS that it has in abundance.

The real issue with Nigeria is the poor buying power of the country; Nigerians are not earning enough because they are not producing enough due to inadequate education, insecurity and electricity (Nigeria generate 5000MW when the country needs 100000MW)

obailala:
I'd repeat my point cos it still remains a valid truth.... Literally all cars manufacturers started as car assemblers. And to date, even the most advanced car manufacturers do not produce all parts and components themselves. Just like you rightly said, they outsource the production of several key components to date...

There's no wisdom in us continually rubbishing ourselves as Africans while we praise others. Take a look at China... a few decades ago, they were literally on the same level with 3rd world Africa. Not too long ago they started producing cars by buying parts and components, assembling and cannibalising car brands; the Chinese auto industry literally started by mimicking renown global models - I remember when we all laughed over the Chinese version of the Range Rover.... Today the joke is on the rest of the world; those guys now produce some of the most advanced vehicles in the world.

Chief,

Watch this brilliant video about Henry Ford and his journey to building the first automated car manufacturing plant. He didn't start by assembling cars; he was involved in full vertical integration from the inception.

China was never at the same level as third-world Africa. China and India have always been world economic powers involved in innovation in banking, paper, agriculture, mining, etc.

I grew up in the 1980s when Nigeria was building 150,000 cars per annum. 80% of the cars and trucks on Nigerian roads were assembled in Nigeria. At the same time, the country was doing backward integration of the steel industry (Ajaokuta, Delta ) for the frame, (ALSCON ) for the Aluminium body and engine, and Eleme (now Indorama Petrochemical) for plastic, which accounts for 85 % of a vehicle supply chain parts.

Nigeria had more than enough chance to develop, but it failed. Innosson might seem like a hard-working Nigerian to you, but he cannot prove that he can build a car. Yet he tried to lie to Nigerians that he had assembled a vehicle that he imported. He has to stop.

They want only your politicians and corrupt government officials. Asewo, drug dealer and hustler, stay in Nigeria.

casualobserver:


Other companies are assembling Chinese cars in Nigeria and we see them on the roads. GAC assembles Chinese cars, they have a dealership in Lagos. They signed a deal with LASG for 1,000 cars for lag ride and just signed another deal for 5,000. Obi Cubana signed a deal with the same company for cars in Abuja. Why didn’t he sign his deal with INNOSON? Because nobody is going to sign a deal when you introduce new model every day and your cars do not have presence on the roads!

I just went to INNOSON website, they have 18 different models on their website from cars to buses….jack of all trades, master of none! Go to GAC website, they have only 5, that’s why they sell more and have more presence. When Volkswagen and Peugeot were assembling cars in Nigeria they never had more than 5/6 models at any one time.

I wouldn't say that GAC has an assembly plant in Nigeria. The site in Lagos is used to bypass tax and import tariff. They only assemble the tyres and windscreen onto the cars.

I worked on the supply chain and technical infrastructure for Jaguar Landrover's iFace model. Building the supply chain and off-site warehouse to support the vehicle's production took us three years, and that was for the IT infrastructure.

INNOSON has so many models that you must start questioning his business model and logic. Where is he building this vehicle? How many is he building? where is he sourcing the parts? The list is endless, and it is obvious there are more questions than answers.

skywolf28:
This is a Chinese car na
It's name is nammi 01
Why is innoson trying to claim he manufactured it

He knows his people will never call him out. Where is the assembly plant used to build the vehicle?

Nigerians like to be duped; that's why Indians, Chinese and Lebanese are using their fake manufacturing plant to import finished goods to avoid government tax and tariff.

obailala:
All cars manufacturers started as car assemblers. And to date, even the most advanced car manufacturers dont produce all parts and components themselves.

Rubbish,

Car manufacturers started as manufacturers and moved into car assemblers in the 197s following the introduction of the Japanese model of manufacturing called Just-In-Time, where a company focuses on its core values and horizontally integrates its suppliers to increase efficiency and production.

The auto industry is based on either vertical integration or horizontal integration.


Vertical integration is where all suppliers are in-housed, like Telsa gigafactory

Horizontal integration involves the manufacturer working with multiple suppliers, and the final manufacturing stage involves assembling all the parts.

Manufacturers, such as Jaguar Land Rover, will design the core of the vehicle, such as the car, build the frame in-house, such as the powertrain and frame, and buy all parts from their suppliers based on a robust infrastructure, such as an off-site warehouse, supply chain system, material flow system, and warehouse management suites.

casualobserver:
Every day INNOSON will introduce a new model, instead of them to focus on 1 or 2 and gain market share and economies of scale.

Dealership they don’t have, service center they don’t have, adverts they don’t have, every day introducing new model. I am sure they have more models than Mercedes that have been manufacturing since 1900.

Focus on 1 or 2 and be the go to brand for that niche, focus on a car that will be the default for taxi drivers/Uber and sell 30,000 a year. Focus on being the default for intra city or inter city buses and sell tens of thousands a year…no…..every day new model that we never see on the road. How can they gain traction if there is no brand awareness because nobody sees your cars on the road? Everyday we see GAC on the roads in Lagos, it gives consumers confidence. But we never see INNOSON because you will introduce 1 model every week.

Innosson has a workshop, not an assembly plant. He buys cars from China and labels them; Innosson doesn't even assemble them. That's why the states in the SE are not patronising him. Have you seen an Innosson service station anywhere in Nigeria?


Even the old Peugeot, VW, and Leyland have stopped assembling cars in Nigeria due to the lack of a supply chain to support the process.

ricson11:
This is the first made in Nigeria electric vehicle and it was produced by “Innoson Vehicles” in their manufacturing plant in Nnewi, Anambra State.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=earU4z5h3N8?si=7Rqrxq6fZk5shaD9

Fake news.

Let Innossun provide links to the manufacturing plant where he builds his fake electric cars.

Where is the plant that builds the frames, the aluminium body, the electric powertrain, and the batteries? Where is the assembly plant located? I want to see the evidence; no more lies.

This has to stop; some of us design and build manufacturing plants in the West, so we know a liar.

I watched the brilliant documentary on Nigeria's oil industry during OBJ. He talked about the failure of the NNPC he created, and Buhari was its first chairman in 1977. Yet, OBJ, the petroleum minister from 2002 onward, failed to deregulate the oil industry as he had done the Telecom industry.

What is the relevance of NNPC when the country now has Indigenous oil companies that can extract, explore and market oil

Where are NITEL, NEPA, and Nigerian Airways? Today, the NFF can't even select a football coach and has ruined Nigeria's football. Nigeria political elites are very bad, but the rot started a long time ago under the old military government, and it cannot be fixed with a change of government.

Majority of Nigerians don't like anything good.
They wanted APC knowing the faces behind the mask, now they have them.

Jonathan is ex president with good track records (for a country like Nigeria) while in office. He was abused, dragged and called all manner of derogatory names and finally voted out for the messiah party APC.
Now, enjoy your APC.

GEJ had a poor track record, and insecurity and corruption were endemic under his government.

Under his government, the country was living under a false illusion.
How many refineries did he fix?
Did Nigeria improve its electricity capacity beyond 5000MW?
What happened to the foreign reserves?
Why was Nigeria still subsiding imported refined fuel? Madness.

The fact that APC is worse than GEJ PDP is a factor of Nigeria's poor political structure, which selects the worst for the government.

Nigeria was always destined to be where it is today. The lack of civil services reform, the diversity of the economy, and the failure to restructure the political system indicate that nothing can change in Nigeria.

We can live in an illusion believing that change in government will lead to change in Nigeria's economic direction, but any country with one major source of income (oil) and no known industry will always be poor and backward, you can import food and energy and be rich.
