So there are plenty illicit refinery.... Why not Make just 5 legitimate refinery or license these illicit ones and monitor their operations while they pay fines for their past crimes... After all politicians enjoy plea bargain.... Drop little from Their loot and you set them Free

Those illicit refineries do not meet environmental, health and safety standards.

The cheapest refinery will require $ 10 million and must meet regulatory and safety standards.

CyrusVI:


Did you even read the content of the news at all?

Tinubu was in charge in 2016? And you expected the President to automatically know about a dealing that happened between Ogun state and a private firm for as back as then?

Jeez... You guys keep giving us reason to question the quality of Education in your region

APC was in charge, and the Tinubu political party was in charge in 2016. Ogun State was a APC political state. At least Tinubu will not enjoy the new jet. Karma is a bitch.

Wait, I thought igbos don't beg for alms. Aren't beggars supposed to be "from other regions"?

*. Igbos are not hungry
*. Igbos don't do menial jobs
*. Igbos don't do agbero/tout
*. All igbos are rich/made
*....and every other of their wishful thinkings, but the facts on ground always negate all these lies.

Igbo's are as poor as other ethnic groups in Nigeria. In the 1970s. There were crippled Igbo beggars and ex-solders who begged on the streets of Nigeria. It was not their fault but the lack of social welfare to support the needy.

There is nothing wrong in being proud of your ethnicity, but honesty and humility also help.

Leemzyy:
Nigeria is totally becoming something else

Let's be serious, Nigeria has 36 states, what are the state governments doing?


We can all agree that the federal government is useless. Hence, the state must do their job; it is the responsibility of the state to provide primary health and free education. It the role of the state to creat an enabling environment that will support investment in their state.

EmekaBlue:
I really want to invest in agriculture... I have a 6plots of land wasting in abuja

I need investors who can even come in and rent to use the fertile land... It also have fish earthing pond hatchery piggery poultry chambers plus borehole & 4 room buildings including security room... toilets, kitchen and bathroom

You don't need investors. Grow food and sell the product then you have your investment

Chikel20000:
Name checkers will be disappointed today

Did you read that the Nigeria suspect might be using a fake name?

The Nigerian suspect, identified as Rahman Adam Bolakale, allegedly used a national ID under the name Makenke Rahman Adam,

Na North and Yorubas destroyed Nigeria.

Your Yeye people did nothing while the North and Yoruba were destroying Nigeria. Are your people stupid?

DevilsEqual:
I know it's almost impossible but NNPC needs a total system overhauling

It's being run like a cult group and I doubt if sacking Kyari alone would affect much effect

Why not start locking them up? Buhari and Mele Kyari recently took a loan of $1.5 billion to fix PH refinery in 2018 and yet it still not working

bjdon:
South Africa with less than a quarter of our population is generating over 40000 Megawatts, and this shameless buffon is coming to boast about aiming for 6000MW. Who do us this kind thing?

SA generates 50,000 MW, and Egypt generates 62,000 MW. The reason why there is Afrophobia in SA is that they equate black Africans with backwardness

Namaster:
Tinubu is a HORRIBLE president.

But there is NO denying the fact that the protests were politically-motivated. It felt so ARTIFICIAL.

All protests are political. Nigerians want Tinubu and the political system that allows the likes of GEJ, Buhari and Tinubu to get into power gone

Tinubu is fully aware that his government is shit

slimfit1:


Someone that took what he thinks he is entitled to and the people gave it to him without any fight, the truth is the poor got paid to vote for him so the votes have been paid for any other thing after is there own wahala. Shame cannot make some people to call me for money. I'm a Yoruba man, I'll vote for the person that I know can put food on the table. Tinubu was thinking about himself that's why he wanted power, if he really cared about Nigeria he would have backed Osinbajo.

What is Osinbanjo's accomplishment...tradermoni


The Yoruba better find news leaders or remain leaderless; the likes of Tinubu , and Osinbanjo have nothing to offer

Some people will be happy with this News while some will be sad.

I am happy with the news. I don't support Tinubu or his corrupt APC, but Soyinka is an icon of Nigerian culture, and the theatre will be a good representative of Soyinka.

Lagosians are in Saturn compared to the rest.

Those who voted in Geniuses will enjoy a lot and those who keep voting in minnows will keep wallowing in mediocrity


All Nigerian Future President should come from just one side.

The rest is just an assembly of Poverty-Facilitators with their 18k wages

Lagosian waited 14 years for the Blue Line and finally found out that it was too expensive to use after Tinubu had completely destroyed Nigeria buying power.

ShogunNoName:
Slowly the truth is coming out .

1. Alot of these local refineries are not really faulty the way NNPC had led the public to believe .

2. NNPC makes billions monthly from phantom importation of fuel because they keep increasing Tor so clwd amount they import on paper and using to loot. Ask yourselves as the price of fuel increases how come our consumption has also been increasing when less and less people are driving or even buying fuel for generators.

3. NNPC Has been running a criminal enterprise and ensurimg fuel isn not refined locally so that they continue importing fuel.

4. This is why Atiku said first thing he would do is sell off NNPC but you all attacked him. Has he not been vindicated since ?

Atiku is coming

Atiku 2027.

Atiku was Chairman of the National Council on Privatization and sold the Ajaokuta steel plant to the Indians and ALscon to the Russians. How did that work out?

He sold the three rolling mills to other Nigerians and the delta steel mill to another Indian organisation, a total of $25 billion in industry assets sold to fellow cronies who stripped the infrastructure to the bare bones.

Atiku is a crook and should not be near the government; because Tinubu is a crook, we shouldn't be running to another crook.

Imagine if Nigeria had a steel and aluminium industry today; the country would have created 5 million jobs. I will scrap NNPC or list it on the Nigerian stock market with an independent management team.

On 29 May 1999, Abubakar was sworn in as Vice President of Nigeria. His first term was mainly characterized by his role as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai.[38][neutrality is disputed]

Adava64:

This is huge

Nigeria will save more than $1 billion a year if they remove the NASS

10mobile:
If it's in Nigeria, you'll pull bigger crowds and still won't be declared winner. Instead, someone will come all the way from the back and begin to preside over those who never liked him. It's no wonder he'll be taking only decisions that would kill the people.

Did you protest on the street?

Because the loudest noise are from the Nigerians that sit at home.

Philipponzaghi:
Tinubu is on the right track! Focusing on economic reform first is a strategic move. A strong economy lays the foundation for any constitutional review. Let's give him time to implement these changes; prosperity will follow. Unity and stability are key, and it seems he's committed to that vision for Nigeria!

He has destroyed the economy. Reform the constitution so we cannot have hopeless rulers like Tinubu and Buhari. Tinubu is completely out of debt.

nedekid:

Dont forget people like lekwot tried to arm his people, it was seen as treason, the guy was almost executed, there was this militant guy 2-3 years ago that put up a resistance, arming his group and fighting and protecting his area. Remember he was lured to a peace meeting grabbed and executed by army. If a whole danjuma could be so enraged he practically cried in a speech he gave 3years ago, but yet could do nothing, a whole danjuma, know then it is a lost course. You cannot go against the state. Abi will he arm his people, train them, only for them to be raided, killed while being declared all sorts Eg militants, non state actors, terrorist, vigilantes etc.
Was the original ipob gang not formed to provide security against heardsmen in the East, before that mad man ekpa took it to another level?

They have to go against the state or die.

https://tribuneonlineng.com/protest-that-restructured-nigeria/

This is a very stupid post; why do Yoruba people have so much self-hatred?

Yoruba hate Tinibu like every other ethnic group in the country; Tinubu has done significant cultural and political damage to the Yoruba people. Our first elected president is a drug dealer.

I think the Igbo should have protested against their local governors in the SE. I hope Nigeria is undergoing a regional restructuring; the country is now beyond repair.

Namaster:
430,000 from Nigeria alone?

Indians are still there.

Give it 30 years and all the cultures and civilisation that the UK sailed to on their ship and OPPRESSED and DAMAGED with their presence will FLY on planes to overrun the UK.

Love this for the UK!

This is the kind of REPARATIONS people should seek instead of doing Yahoo. Go to their country and use their resources like they used yours.

Warri people will say:

First to do, e no dey pain;
Second to do, eye go red.

The British gave Nigeria a brilliant country blessed with resource and a large population. Black Nigerians destroyed their country.

i get that in Nig.every individual is his or her own govt ... but sourcing for what is free or subsidize to sell at exorbitant price is ancestery madness that can only be find among Nigerians, cos from the leaders down to the people majority are sick

Before govt came up with 40k rice, public servant no pay rent or pay children school fee so why should a palliative over night be the only means to survive
Tinubu is a disaster we know, but Nigerians are terrible people ... before Tinubu Nigeria was a mess last i checked

Nigerians are the disaster, and Tinubu is the symptom of that disaster. Palliative is what you give to dying people in refugee camps.

Nigerians need to remove the government

https://www.nairaland.com/8180231/fulani-herdsmen-attack-ukum-benue
No fewer than 30 people were reportedly killed in Ayati village in Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State Thursday night.

Sources told journalists in a telephone chat on Friday that local bandits and suspected armed herders unleashed terror on the village.

Ayati village is gradually becoming a slaughter slab in Ukum LGA.

Recall that the violent protest that led to the destruction of personal and government properties in the council a few weeks ago was as a result of the killing of 11 people in the Ayati community.

A resident of the community who did not want his name mentioned told our correspondent on Friday that bandits belonging to the Ayongou factional group in collaboration with Fulanis attacked and killed the innocent people Thursday night.

Corroborating this, a community leader in the council and one-time governorship aspirant in the state, Shima Ayati confirmed the attack and said that over 30 corpses have been recovered from the village.

Ayati who spoke in a telephone chat on Friday said, “What I heard is that some bandits received money from some herders to graze their animals in two council wards.

"As they were grazing, they came in conflict with farmers who ran to government. The government sent security who went and pursued the herders away. During the process, they burnt their (herders) makeshift tents.

“They (herders) became angry as they claimed to have given money for the land, so they went back to the bandits. The herders joined hands with the bandits to attack the village and massacre people.

“We have already gathered over 30 corpses. They are still searching.”

Meanwhile, the state police command spokesperson, SP Catherine Anene, confirmed the incident but said she was yet to get details of the attack.

She said, “I’m aware there was an attack and I’m waiting for briefing from officers on ground.”

caye:
The slow buildup to a massive genocide in Nigeria and west Africa.

Since the west needs massive free resources, fertile lands and low population of "useless eaters", they have been training and backing any mercenary group, in secret, for the destabilisation of west africa and Nigeria.

- hit and run mass killings
- bombings
- destruction of farmers and agric activity
- artificial food scarcity
- finally massive genocide
Meanwhile, these mercenaries believe that they are building a new Islamic Empire. Unknown to them, they are just level 1 in a multi -level game. Unseen players are also playing a game above them.

After using them, their handlers may start to wipe them out , in pretence, just like how the CIA/ US army pretended to start wiping out Isis in Syria or french army pretended to be wiping out Isis in Mali, but it was all a parade: Oil and Gold was being stolen and transported to the western nations.

I believe that the political and military rulers of Nigeria are all in this.
They are being paid to look the other way while their ppl become decimated and killed.
All for mansions in Dubai and Paris.

Sick.

But the Creator is greater than them all. He will raise our spirits to fight these monsters. He will.

Cc: MichaelSokoto, Deepsight,

Continue blaming the West for crimes committed by Fulani pastorist

nedekid:

And what do you suggest they use to clear the assault rifle, smg, rpg armed fulani? Cutlases, sticks or at best pump action shotguns?
Until the right to bear proper arms is allowed, nothing can be done by natives to challenge the fulani Bandits aka cattle hearders menece.

They should buy weapons from the same people who sell them to the Fulani; Gowon, Langlung, and Dajuma are dollar millionaires. If they can provide funds to protect their people,. That is the problem.

What kind of people run to the police and government in Nigeria? The middle-belt played the We are Arewa and now want sympathy support from the South

Seefinish:
This is one of the reasons I support the creation of the state police and this is one of the reasons Fulani will never support the creation of the state police

Some Nigerians, especially from the SE, believe that the state police in Lagos will be used to terrorise them, and they might be right, but at least they will have state police that would protect the Igbo in the SE.

Akinpresident:


Benue is not yet ready to tackle this menace and it's really a heartbreaking one.
Dying to strangers in your land. That's a taboo to say the least.

I find it funny sometimes how they make mouth and chest beat at any little social conversation whereas they're cowards slaughtered by animals.
Benue people have to take it upon theirselves to defend theirselves and ignore govt.

MichaelSokoto:

those benue peeps are short illiterates!

The middlebelt dominated Nigeria government form the 1967 to 1999 . If they can't defend themselves they should die

Chinkoalhaji34:
Why is it that we only hear of these tragic events when the so-called "peaceful" herdsmen are involved?

Over 50 lives lost like it's just another statistic, while the authorities sit back and watch, as if Peter Obi’s presence could magically make them disappear.

Is this the same Nigeria that we hope to build? Because if it is, then we are in serious trouble.

How many more lives will it take before we realize that this is not just a random occurrence but a deliberate attack on our existence?

Fighting for what? A grazing route that should have been sorted out ages ago? We need more than just words; we need action!

The solution is simple: Nigerians should stop eating the cow. Why is the state not building their own cattle ranch?

This is a nudge to Tinubu to complete the creation of the controversial Livestock ministry

chidiokay:



call it whatever, the truth is bitter

its always convenient for us to curse & blame the govt at everything but Nigerians are very sick people ..you will find mosquito net shared by WHO in supermarkets for sale ,
See bro nobody is taking advantage of any economic ... what we are doing as Nigerians is inflict more pains and hardship on one another extortion.... . we are taking advantage of ourselves nii .. you cheat me on rice i cheat you back when you come to buy pepper nii
Govt as only one fault in our food production, i.e insecurity challenge cos farmers can't go to farm freely, however a temporary measure such as opening land borders and lifting bans on grains would ensure food abundances pending the time govt find lasting solutions to resolve insecurity around Farm lands

All a good Govt need provide is anenabling environment.... just provie enabling environment and capitalist will thrive .. no brainer

Do we have an enabling environment in Nigeria?
Electricity? Clean Water, Sewage, Roads, Rail, Security, reliable internet and mobile services.

The reason the NLC is always asking for a pay rise is that the average Nigerian has to be his own government. Hence, it makes sense to sell rice at a profit to fund the school fees or diesel for the generator.

I am old school and grew in Nigeria when the country produced local cars, white electronic goods,

I don't support PDP, APC, or LP, but the Tinubu government is beyond hopeless. They are supposed to be in government to solve the previous government's failure. Tinubu was well aware of the food production problem, so what did he do? He removed all the fuel subsidies and then took a trillion-dollar loan to build a new Lagos-Calaber coastal road. Is that logical to you?

The impact of the fuel subsidies removal is what has destroyed the economy; due to the lack of electricity and mass transit system, Nigerians are forced to generate their own power and transportation, so when you remove subsidies, the entire economy collapses.

Why can't Nigeria increase crude oil production? Who is the minister of petroleum?

MT:


You are just plain dumb.

I watched it alive and she did her best. She had a fractional slow start.


Nigerians need to stop this silly attitude. The whites applaud their own even when they come last for them to be encouraged in future competition.

We have seen what Tobi Amusan did for the Nation and what history she has made, what values do you have?

Amusan is still the current world holder.

Her best is not good enough, I am not interested in being applaud, Nigerians must lean to win.

The worst Olympic performance in recent history...not even one medal. I am not superstitious but it's difficult not to link Tinubu with bad luck....kilode.

One man takes over and everything good went bad and everything bad became worse...within a year o!

Too bad.

Nigeria has always been hopeless at the Olympics. Olympic sports require serious investment in human capital, organisation and equipment.

Medipharm:
It should have two venues....in Abuja and in a Niger Delta state to benefit the common NigerDeltans

It should have only one venue in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta should be requesting that the NNPCL should be relocated to the Niger Delta; this will relocate billions of businesses to that region.

loswhite:
Civil servant are not supposed to get rice at different prices from other citizens. The policy does not make sense.

Kukutente23:

Very true . This govt is clueless

I laugh when people say that they should give Tinubu government more time.

There was a reason why Liz Truss was removed as UK Prime Minister after 48 days.

In the case of Tinubu, he should have been impeached on day one when he announced that disastrous statement that fuel subsidies have gone with reviewing the government accounts or the status of the economy.

Tinubu's government is clueless, but Nigeria's political system is hopeless, allowing the likes of Tinubu and Buhari to smell the government.
