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?

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!

Any youth or woman who get corrupt when given an opportunity in politics has made it even more difficult for the old to let go of their strangulating grip to power. Such people deserve the most severe punishments.
I hope she didn’t truly commit the crime.

It is not a free world o. Nothing is really free. Anyway, advocacy is permitted.
Good luck & good bye.

Biglittlelois:
It's a free world.

Are we permitted to be selfish?

Biglittlelois:
Table your complaint to Se.un not me.

This makes absolute sense. More grease to your elbow!

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I hereby declare a total war against name checkers on Nairaland.

Anyone who draws attention to the tribe of a criminal on a thread about a crime will be banned. This applies regardless of whether they do it overtly or covertly. Every offender will collect a ban because this is regarded as a tribal insult.

The minimum ban period is 14 days. If you have offended multiple times, it's 30 days. If you keep offending, you may be permanently banned.

- Seun Osewa.

PS: I've just made a communication breakthrough with the moderators on this issue. I expect results.

How about 'anti-male' comments, women who insult men & generalize bad behavior concerning men too?

Biglittlelois:
Well I don't see anything wrong with stating the tribe of a person who did wrong, the only issue is insulting and demeaning a whole tribe because of an individual's offence, so pls be specific.

Also, we are yet to see your stance on Anti female, insultive, degrading comments and threads, because if you notice, most male tend to term women generally for the offence of one, and as a result of that, most of us rarely comment like before, pls look into it.

These people should continue fooling themselves!
All these unnecessary propaganda is not needed. I hope we won’t hear stories that the long awaited fix flopped 3months into use.

What kind of post is this?! An honorary degree is not an earned degree. It is just a mere recognition by the institution.

Immediately the child can properly wash her privates, armpit and navel properly. I start teaching them how to clean those places by 2yrs old. My two daughters could bathe themselves under minimal supervision by age 3-4. They are now fully grown teenagers.
By age 6 they will not even allow me their father or any male in the same room or toilet when they are undressed.

All these women are just as corrupt as their male counterparts.

But in fairness to him, he never mentioned that his joy was because his child died? I think I can still remember he was under the radar (Although he is usually an annoyingly loud person) for a while.
As long as his source of joy isn't due to the demise of his child, I am happy for him for recovering from such a tragedy quickly enough. Not many people are that lucky.
I will also happily kick out any woman I marry who goes for plastic surgery, tattoo or any plastic augumentation to their body... especially without my consent.

texazzpete:


Only a weakling would look at the year when he lost his first born son and then claim it is his ‘best year ever’ because he married a woman with big bumbum.

Yes, no man has control over birth or death. But you are very much in control over your response to those. You acting as voltron to a weak, effeminate man who has been bedazzled into ditching his marriage and his years of earned respect into being a social media clown…that speaks volumes about your own character.


I cannot imagine anything happening to my own children and be out there on social media celebrating a great year. But I recognize some people out there are not active parents.

I don’t know your age , but if you are as young as I am (in my mid 40s), you should be old enough to know birth or death is something you don’t have control over. But what God has blessed you with regardless of your losses is still worth being grateful for and thanking to God for.
If you want to endlessly mourn like a weakling, please be my guest!

texazzpete:
One day two of you will grow up sha. Because what is this nonsense.
Yul posted nonsense and you fell for it because of juvenile misogyny. Why? Someone whose actions have shown themselves to be completely incomprehensible, including claiming that the year he lost his teenage first son was his best year ever. And this is the person you desperately want to believe?


Tueh

Ingrate! Most Nigerians want your job, so japa & let others gratefully take your job.
