The failure to invest in electricity generation, transmission and distribution is the bane of Nigeria. Nigeria requires a minimum of 100.000 MW but can only generate 4000 MW

The company currently spends around N100 million on power generation monthly aside from maintenance costs and its monthly fixed spend on operations has risen over N500 million.

Omoluabi16:
This shows how far power and decision making is from the ordinary man. Only una debate, legislate and adopt on behalf of 200m people. Less than 500 people running things...

They are your representative, you voted them to represent you and his is their priority.

Abagworo:
Most comments are based on ignorance. There are tyoes of crude oil and differ6types of products they can produce. Kaduna refinery when functional was producing base oil and LPFO better than Port Harcourt that was mainly light products. The plan was to have the capability of producing our entire petroleum product needs and since our Oil is light and sweet we needed heavy crude for the Kaduna refinery.

Well said, but locating the refinery in Kaduna was a logistical disaster. There is a reason why Singapore refineries and petrochemical plants are located on Jurong Island: Singapore’s Petrochemical Hub. https://www.hydrocarbons-technology.com/features/feature78188/

immortalcrown:
So the Kaduna refinery was calibrated to serve Venezuela?

No be today this scam start. End Nigeria!

Locating the refinery in Kaduna is already a red flag. No oil in Kaduna, no seaport in Kaduna. Gowon should explain why his regime did it.

Let us even accept the calibration for Venezuela's crude oil. Is the refinery functioning? The answer is no. But billions of Naira is spent on the refinery yearly and some people are being paid as workers in the refinery.

South Korea, India, and Singapore import all to be refined for export. Refineries, like steel and petrochemical plants, are process industries that are designed for industrializing raw materials. I will rather have refineries than crude oil.

Brendaniel:
Same support you guys gave Buhari and his ministers for 8 years only to now be calling them failures after the damage has been done while you guys cheered them on to do the damage...

You are repeating the same thing now for Tinubu and his ministers and you want us to believe you know what you are doing?

They will never learn

immortalcrown:
APC vs APC.

Nobody has questioned the so-called Buhari over all the frauds his regime commited. This indicates that his tenures might have actually been completed by impostors, meaning that APC is the biggest scam so far in Nigeria.

Under Buhari, oil exports fell from 2.1 million barrels per day to 900,000 B/D. the. GMD of. NNPC is Mele Kyari and he is still. the Chairman of the NNPCL.

APC is what you call state capture = Buhari =. Tinubu=. failure

Kokadomfreedom:
Anybody that is still supporting this APC's evil regime that have reduced our living standard to nothing has mental issues and need proper check up. Nigeria would not have gotten to this level of mess had APC not stole Obi's mandate. We are with you sir(Peter Obi) come rain or sunshine

If the goal is to remove APC, then joining PDP is not the answer

Fatbam005:
End time Signs. Mercy Lord

It has nothing to do end of time god but plan but poor housing structures by irresponsible and corrupt governments building poorly constructed buildings in valleys will always have the risk of mudslides

zombieHUNTER:


In the poverty capital of the world

Where they borrow to pay salaries

Tinubu used 90b to subsidize hajj

Why won't this failure do same

Nigeria is blessed

It's just the stupid followers electing and supporting lame leaders that are the problem

They're everywhere on the platform
SMH

They still think that Nigeria is oil rich.

wehndeshy:
This otti always making noise in press like soludo. He may be an empty vessel after all

Any governor who spends $800 million to build a 220MW is not only an empty vessel but a crook. $800

Stanleymaster1:
Since Tinubu took power, foreign investment have totally stop coming to Nigeria. It like the man is a bad lock to the country. Nothing is working. The military leader he want to remove by force appear to be a good leader to his people

Foreign Investment started leaving Nigeria under GEJ PDP government Dunlop Michelin all left Nigeria under GEJ, the pace of foreign companies leaving accelerated under Buhari and Tinubu hopeless government.

AbuTwins:


South Africa is about 60million people!

That's Nigeria times three and half!

Even US dey rig elections! Not to talk if SA!

Wait till Wednesday/ Thursday!

You are stupid

[quote author=muhammaduyusufu post=130087800][/quote]Nigeria should focus on merit and not the ethnicity of the president. We have seen what happens when you prioritise ethnicity like GEJ, Buhari,seria and now Tinubu, and you get rubbish.

Engrgreg1:
Welcome development let innoson also unveil his own

Enough of this stupid Igbo vs Yoruba nonsense. The. Tinubu is not in government for Yoruba but for his self-interest. Tinubu destruction of landmark is prove that he will destroy any business ventures that block his personal business interest (Eko Atlantic)

Sccarrr:
bro , it's not that easy to lead by example.....even if na u, as parent, na same u go do..
Just try to think about the security aspect, automatically as governor's daughter, she's at risk, evn if the country is running fine... But imagine the governor's daughter coming to class with securities, armed to tooth ...na we go still run go social media to complain. The kind outburst e go cause go pass the one den dey get for schooling abroad.

Who is responsible for the insecurity, the same governors who abuse their security vote.

God1000:
It is very difficult to see children of our politicians from governor, senator, minister to president in our universities and they claim to love this country.

Anyway, congrats to her and her Dad the man that raised her.

They (politicians) have nothing to offer Nigeria and Nigerians. If they can fix the university system, how can they fix the states and the country?


In the late 1980s, OBJ daughter was a student of UI studying vet medicine, and I took some classes with her. Only Olodo students did their first degree abroad; if you were smart enough, you would get into a Nigerian university and then travel to Europe or the USA for your postgraduate degree.

2aces:
Ideally due to our population advantage, all these companies with large customer base in Nigeria should be mandated to site their manufacturing plants here, cutting out importation cost thereby reducing the overall selling price of their products in the market, and also easy the strain on the dollar.

...but na naija we dey now, where they make running an economy look like rocket science.

Nigeria customers are too broke to buy anything. Nigeria should prioritise export-driven industries such as petrochemicals, steel, Aluminium refined oil, LNG, agricultural products, and minerals that can generate $100 bn in exports.

vanbonattel:
Well, I think they're right to reject Nigeria and choose Angola instead, because,

Their company will just be demolished in a short while.

Don't invest in Lagos, even the international community knows.

Dummy, this is about the lack of skills in Nigeria especially in the violent and Chaotic SE and SS (Niger Delta)

Macphenson:
I am going to speak from a professional point of view as an Engineer and somebody that has been building in Lagos State for the past 15 years.

The Lagos State regulatory Laws for buildings are more of extortionary than regulatory, this is the reason why people keep finding ways to bypass the laws.

There is a reason why developers keep avoiding the buidling permits and other permits in Lagos not because they dont want to be compliant but because of the tedious process, the bureaucasis and the unnecessary protocols involved.

.

As someone who has been involved in numerous building projects across the UK, regulatory building laws are always bureaucratic, expensive, and stressful, but they are a necessary evil. I think the tile replacement is over the top. Still, depending on the work required, plumbing and renovation must always have local council approval and sign-off by an approved plumber, architect, or electrician.

Nigeria's problem is systematic; the Nigerians complain that they have no institution, but when the developed institutions, Nigerians are the first people who refuse to adhere to their regulations. I have a lot of Nigerian colleagues who have British passports but would rather live in Nigeria because of the lack of regulation and enforcement.

I have always said that Nigeria's problem is poor cultural development and political structure, it's impossible to create great leadership for a very poor culture.

Ibime:
AJ was outclassed totally by Usyk both times

This was a split decision and Fury was outboxing Usyk until the haymaker rewired his brain in round 9

Based on comparison of their fights against Usyk, Fury is clear

the second AJ vs Usyk was a SD

eweqwatr:
Does Nigeria have enough fuel for us? There's nothing to be sad for if they take it elsewhere

Nigeria has enough fuel for Nigerians. Nigeria can produce 4 million barrels per day if the people in power are professional and not thieves

promise4040:
Honestly, we're losing it all in this country.

Nigeria with a population of over 200 million people should naturally be a place where people beg to visit. Rather, some thinks it even senseless to mention the name.

Where did it all go wrong with Nigeria?

It went wrong in 1914 and got worse in 1960.

When the governor of Niger state wants to force marry 100 distressed widows against their wishes. You know that the country has no values.

SIRTee15:
Its actually not Tesla's fault. BYD and other Chinese electric car manufacturers are really giving him a serious run for his money.
Those car companies in china are producing electric cars at a rate that outpace total global demand of electric cars. They plan to flood the world with cheap electric cars by making sure supply outstrip demand, and on the long term run others like Tesla out of the market.

Tesla also has to follow similar plan by producing far beyond the demand for his cars and hopefully reduce the price. Otherwise Tesla will become history like Nokia or Motorola.

The Chinese cars are cheaper and better than the overhype Tesla. Its is not always the first to market that wins the race. Elon Musk's arrogance has been his downfall; had he partnered with African states for access to cheap raw materials, maybe Telsa would have been more competitive.

vanitybutiwanti:
when he was in was in PDP he was a hero, now that he works with Tinubu he's a villain?

I wonder what you would say if Obi the messiah decamps to APC

If you like dont hustle, keep waiting for a politician to liberate you from suffering, something he couldn't do in previous positions held in public service

Look at the state of Nigeria under PDP vs APC. If you think APC are not criminal look at Nigeria in 2015 and now

rertylentl:
Nigeria now importing crude oil from US wonder shall not end.

I would rather import raw materials like crude oil, process them into refined oil and other products, and sell them at a margin by doubling their value. This is What Singapore, India, and South Korea do. They industrialise oil and gas into finished products for sale at a higher margin.

BTW, USA refineries are very old and not designed for Shale oil, which is light crude oil. Nigeria is actually becoming industrialized with over 1.5 million tonne refinery capacity.

chopnaira:
What a Wawu. While some are still begging FG for a sea port even though they have no sea.

Cross River is following the lead of Lekki deep sea port in Lagos. Both ports soon to be connected by the coastal highway.

That is how a how country can developed, can you imagine Tinapa and Bakkasi seaport connecting to Lekki and Lekki FTZ .

Nigeria needs to focus on electricity.

You are the lazy youth not me. Ode

in so far the distribution of wealth in Nigeria is not equitable Lagos owes us everything

Are you not the fool waiting for the SW to distribute wealth to your people in the SW? Either you are born stupid or become stupid. Nobody distributes wealth to anyone free

Believeintruth:
in so far the distribution of wealth in Nigeria is not equitable Lagos owes us everything

You will be waiting for the next 100 years, maybe you should contact the British for help, lazy youth.

hammer567:
DONT BE ASKING STUPID QUESTION WHEN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN LAGOS WAS EITHER BUILT BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIKE THE LAGOS CALABAR HIGHWAY.


DONT BE TALKING LIKE A DECIEVER, WE KNOW YOUR TRICKS AND LIES.



WE ARE UNTO YOU.

You have oil and gas in the SS with 13 % derivative, why are they not building infrastrutures in the SS?

Lagos owes you nothing, face you governors. If you allow the federal government to take your resources to develop Lagos and Abuja, then you and your people are fools. Africans fought for years fighting to take control over their resources , the SS gives it away.

hammer567:
I REJECT THAT IN JESUS NAME.




WE HAVE TOLD THEM WE WANT TO USE THAT MONEY TO DEVELOP DEEP SEAPORTS IN EVERY COAST STATE, SEAPORTS, RIVER PORTS AND DRYLAND PORTS BUT NO, EVERYTHING MUST BE SITED IN LAGOS.

Who is stopping you from developing Deepsea Port? Lekki Deep Sea Port was funded by foreign investment. The SS caanot attract FDI due to militant insecurity and thief
