There is nothing wrong with this. These Igbo children and some of their parents need to learn more about the beautiful igbo culture that is fast becoming lost. Maybe they will be more respectful and cultured.
I just hope he is setting up same in all the SE states, otherwise the owners of Lagos (Yorubas) will read meaning into this act.

This guy should go & check if he is sterile or fertile 1st. Then do DNA on all those kids.
These women probably don’t know who impregnated them . They may have identified a typical simp in him and dumped their fatherless babies on the maga!

That’s why I say Nigerians have the worst moral values in the world. The end always justifies the means. Nothing is evil to a Nigerian unless it doesn’t end well. You can kill people for a living, as long as nothing bad happens to you, you are blessed …. according to most Nigerians.

These visits always get as e be. I hope nothing bad will happen after this visit o.

No be this Bismark guy dey inside Aso Rock with Buhari for 8years advising him while he ruined the economy & polity for 8years?!

And I trust Atiku to greedily want to be the presidential candidate!
Best combination will be Obi & Kwankwaso.
But I trust the typical Nigerian lust for power to disrupt this alliance that can shake APC.

Propaganda everywhere. They won’t talk about the gods of men alive giving fake prophecies and teaching falsehood like not paying tithe or 1st fruit will not make a Christian enter heaven. Instead, they are picking on a dead man and his church that they have tried severally to shut down, but failed!

It is a thing of pride!
Only 30% of men get regular sex without buying it. When something is not easy, it becomes valuable. Unlike women, Men don’t get sex easily. They MUST either buy it if the are a SIMP, or work hard to get it free if they are Alpha males. Yet so many men still live SEXLESS / masturbation full lives.
The few who can get it easily and multiple times are seen amongst their peers as Alphas!

I currently work in the aviation and aerospace industry.

I have been in this industry for over 10years.

deenee:
Ok sir. I rest my case.

But what is yiur line of work now.

The one you refused to tell us?

The refinery will work irrespective

Oga, I worked in freight and logistics management for 12years before my current line of work. That is not how it works. Distance / fuel consumption determines 40-50% of running logistics cost. You cannot compare the transportation cost of 9500NM to 400NM by any yardstick. You are talking about local Nigerian bureacracy, do you even realize the bottlenecks faced by cargo ships in international and trans-national.
waters?
How can you even attempt to equate cost for a distance that is 23times or 2300% longer? Do you even understand what you are saying?

1. The only part I agree with you is that crude oil price per barrel sold to Dangote is same & at the recommended international price.
2. I totally disagree with you that the cost of transporting products or crude from Europe & Asia to Lagos is the same as transporting products from Niger Delta to Lagos. I cannot even believe you tried to argue that. Vessels have sizes & consume fuel differently. If you want to transport 60m litres products, you use large vessels that will consume fuel according to that capacity. If you want to transport 1m litres you will use a smaller vessel that consumes less fuel & the distance that will increase consumption is comparable small.
Asia/Europe to Lagos is about 9500NM
Niger Delta to Lagos is about 400NM

Even if you use a 60m litres vessel to carry just 1m litres product, the price for transportation CANNOT be the same!

deenee:
SIR TZAR.

Let me explain again

1 whether the crude is from Niger Delta or International the cost is same and it is priced at the prevailing international rate by OPEC. Unless its stolen crude which will be likely sold below market price and off the radar

2 Most international shipments are in large vessels sometimes up to 60m litres because the cost of shipping 1m litres and 50m litres is literally the same. Your diesel or fuel cost won't go down because you are the only passenger in your car. Whether you are the only one or you carry the full number of passengers the cost of fuel and usage remains the same.

Now picture this international tanker delivering 50m litres in on tranche and small barge delivering 6 million litres in tranches of 1m litres per trip who do you this will cost more to deliver?

If you read my post well, you will see that I have used resounding and effective words like operational efficiency, logistics and planning etc.

It isnt much about the location or distance of delivery but the inefficiencies built into the process. Which will inadvertently increase cost.

Also most of the landing cost that forms circa 40-50% of PMS can be eliminated if only the port authorities agree to automate their their processes but alas they won't because that will literally block all the leakages and ways to siphon cash so they are gery contented with the brick and mortar, manual way of doing themselves which literally creates bottlenecks and extra cost for the ender users in the value chain.

I hope you are very clear now and see why you shouldn't mix apples and oranges!

Because they are worse that Sodom and Gomorrah. God's mercy is the only factor keeping Nigerians from a well deserved destruction.

Sell it or give it out.
That pig is worth 70-120k at least.

What else to you expect from a VP who refused to resign from a corrupt, clueless and disastrous government?

Don't come crying to us when the repercussions of your stupidity comes Idris Okuneye .

Please educate me. Are you saying shipping crude across continents is the same cost as shipping crude from Niger Delta to Lagos?
[quote author=deenee post=127877894][/quote]

Yoruba influence on Warri culture adds so much beauty and grandeur!

Thank you Obi. I am shocked at how some Nigerians are supporting and defending her
There is no type of evil that won’t get support in Nigeria!

So the logistics for the transportation of crude over the Atlantic (across continents) is equal to ferrying crude from the Niger Delta to Lagos? That is why Dangote should sell at prevailing international price?

Don’t worry your morality lacking arguments as a Nigerian is understandable. I understand your argument that lacks empathy for the plight of Nigerians, given the huge biased and induced opportunities people like Dangote have enjoyed.
If Abacha, Babangida, Ibori, Diezani & many other high profile corrupt people can get supporters, I am not surprised at your support for bad behavior. Who is a selfless philanthropist in Nigeria? I understand you.

Many years ago most embassies keep your record for 5-10years.
These days ,due to paperless storage and huge data retention capacities, your applications are kept forever in most Western embassies. These records can also be shared amongst embassies in the West (US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia)
Therefore, it is in your best interest not to lie, as long as the period they request for information is covered. You don't have to inform them of a negative if it is not within the period the info is requested.
Note that visa denial is not the end of the world. The same embassy that denied you a visa will give you if you fulfil the requirements that made them deny you in the 1st place and your record is not suspiciously different from the record they have or has been shared by other embassies.
The problem is that most people use agents who fill details that will significantly change the records of the applicant in future. These agent will wickedly not share details in the application so that you keep coming back to them.
It is very important to keep your application details the same across ALL embassies in western countries, unless a few details needs correction due to unintentional errors that you have documents to prove the correction.
Bottom line is the visa application success is based on the discretion of the issuing country. Even entry into the country inspite of having a visa is still discretionary.

FYI, Dangote's style of making profit is dubious and crooked. It is called profiteering. Why will he sell at landing cost of imported fuel, when he is getting crude easily from govt, and the shipping cost which is almost 50% of landing cost is no longer factored in?
Dangote and his crooked friends in govt dubiously give him an unfair advantage by allowing unfair tax holidays , corrupt access to FOREX, monopolies, control of supply chain, unfair product pricing and insider information.
Yet he still OVERPRICES his products. Shockingly people like you with zero knowledge in BUSINESS ETHICS think that is how business should be done? No wonder Nigeria is the way it is. When people like you excuse bad business practices and support corporate corruption.

I’m sorry, I can’t say my line of work. And I don’t live in Nigeria to be bothered about using the products from the ‘IMO’ failed refinery.
The truth is that Dangote has pushed the narrative out that if ever his product will hypothetically hit the Nigerian market, he will still not sell it lower that the landing cost of imported products. This implies that he will rather be a profiteer than a patriot. Giving back is not in the dictionary of Nigerians, especially Alh Dangote IMO.

deenee:
In your line of work. What is your kine of work if I may ask.

The deadline was shifted three times.

First when he had to recaliberate and increase the proposed daily production capacity to 650k building scale into the project for the benefit of Nigerians

Second was due to Covid 19 restrictions, an externality that nobody anticipated and more importantly nobody foresaw the impact of especially post the lock down.

Third was due to the failure of the apex bank deliver much needed fx for importation of critical PPE.

I am happy that you say its your personal opinion

Please ensure you don't use any of the products from the "failed refinery " when these products hit the market.

God bless Nigeria
God bless Dangote

Who is fooling who? Abeg they should allow the man rest in peace jare!

In my line of work, if you have several failed deadlines, you have failed.
Dangote refinery has at least 2 major failed deadlines, therefore I personally deem it as failed.

deenee:
How has the refinery failed Sir?

Please explain and elucidate.

Refinery that hasn't start operations is what you term a failure.

The 6th batch of crude for the commencement operations has landed and initial run of the refinery and kick start of the production of diesel, aviation fuel and LPG and subsequently, production of PMS will commence.

The refinery is worth 20billion dollars by the way and isn't part of his calculated network presently because it hasn't started generating any cash flow

He owns about circa 60%-75% of the refinery and the value will be included in his consolidated networth once it starts to generate cash flows.

Even at the current value and 60%-75% ownership, that's a 12-15 billion dollars addition to his networth. The amount will double once operations start and revenue starts to trickle in.

The refinery is expected to generate about 120 million dollars revenue daily even at 50% production capacity. The refinery will add additional 5billion dollars to government revenues annually reducing to a great extent the fx scarcity and volatility issues in the country.

Let's not get started on the job opportunities.


And guess what he has Africa’s largest Granulated Urea Fertiliser situated in Ibeju and has started production and exports to USA, Brazil and India generating circa 400 million dollars in Fx income annually.

Una mind no go touch ground!

God bless Nigeria.
God bless Dangote

Buhari deserves to be booed out of Abuja. That man and his cronies destroyed Nigeria!
I pray all of Buhari’s misrule has not irreparably destroyed Nigeria. He was a clueless old man with a narcissistic thirst for power.

I doubt Dangote’s acclaimed wealth. With the failure of Dangote refineries his so called successes is suspect to me now.

This girl really messed up big time! Such a shame!
How can someone who has held public office as a commissioner and is supposed to be representing youths and women squander such a great opportunity to shine bright?!
Nigerians keep amazing me!

She may have wasted a rare opportunity for youths and women to show capacity for leadership! Greed!

All these corrupt Nigerian youths and relatively young politicians have proven how ALL Nigerians young and old are the same fantastically corrupt people.

Too much noise about Dagote refinery Is becoming very annoying.
Let your performance speak for you. All this over promising and under delivering is so disappointing.
Just go and explain how you amassed dollars from Emefiele illegally. All these crooked illegal billionaires in Nigeria.

This Obi is desperately trying to stay in the news.

All these women using affirmative action to perpetuate monumental fraud and corruption are just making it more difficult for decent women to be given the opportunity to serve!
