Just imagine! Even with the high rate of Coronavirus cases in their state.

Truth is; Lagos is arguably the state with the most insane, ignorant and careless people in world. When it comes to civility, comportment and courteousness, 90% of Lagosians cannot cope in sane and calm cities like Abuja, PH, Owerri, Adana and some Northern cities.

Very anyhow set of rascal people quick to form porsh hiding under the slogan "I dey Lag".

Smh! To an extent, people living in Onitsha and Aba are way more civilized, careful and comported than them when it comes to security and health.

You'll just be typing absolutel trash from your empty gumbling brain. You better get a life. Nonsense human being

jaxxy:
Story for the gods. Are u the one who is going to give him kick backs

And why cant the chief of staff do it?

Do u know what the Secretary of state does in the US govt u will be amazed.

Secretary of State of the United States is not the same as Cheif of Staff to the president.
Boss Mustapha, who's the secretary of FGN should be comparable to Mike Pompeo, who's the secretary of States

We Christians are also guilty if the same shit so let no one scream blue murder

Igbos feeding the yorubas since 19 BC

Watch the bastard snakes change it to "Lagos is an Igbo state"

Come down here and see them selling meat by the roadside.

Can't you reason properly without resorting to tribalism??

DuBLINGreenb:
Kalabari, Ikwerre, etc not Igbo some words in one language out of Rivers states 23 or more languages has some mutually intelligible with Igbo does not make the entire Rivers state or Port Harcourt an Igbo state remember even Ikwerre is just one ethnic group out of the 20 or so ethnic groups that make up Rivers state, Port Harcourt is the capital of Rivers and does not belong to the ikwerres intact Okrika people have an even greater claim to Port Harcourt than even the ikwerres but as things are now pH belongs to every Rivers man and Woman not ikwerres which Igbos want to use as link to claim the entire Port Harcourt or Rivers state as a Whole

I wonder why one would say Igbos aren't part of the indigenous stocks of people that make Rivers State. That's a great disservice to us. I'm from Egbema community in Rivers. My people even though were demarcated from the egbema community is Imo State are still one and the same. We are proudly Igbos, speak and write Igbos even celebrate our 'iwaji' festival in our style. Why would some 'dickheads' tell us we're not part of the igbo nation.
If some groups choose to renounce their enthic nationalities for political convience, that's their cup of tea. We are proudly from Rivers and we are proudly Igbos 'igbo by ofu', you can take that to the grave

This is intended to show all tribal bigots both online and offline that your enthic inclinations does not matter to productive people. So long as you can get the job done.
Seplat Petroleum was founded by both the Chairman, Ojiakor and Avuru, CEO, both great men apparently are from the eastern region. But they don't believe in the 'worthless' enthic sentiments you all express unashamedly on nairaland.
Seplat is a true multi-national company that's all encompassing both enthic spread and expertise.

Yetunde Taiwo is a petroleum engineer and CEO of ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC), the firm of one of the largest greenfield gas condensate development projects in Nigeria worth $700 million.

The firm under the leadership Yetunde Taiwo is one of major momentum to the domestic gas aspiration of the Federal Government for increased power generation and industrialization.

Sub for 500
Gas is one of the hydrocarbons Nigeria has in abundance, yet under-utilised. With the need for increased energy generation, industrial production and household consumption, the country is beginning to explore measures to take advantage of stranded investment in the natural gas space.

Yetunde Taiwo, is the CEO in charge of AGPC, a company expected to manage a $700Million midstream development that will monetise 300Million standard cubic feet produced every day from the Assa North /Ohaji South fields, straddling Shell-operated Oil Mining Lease(oml) 21 and Seplat operated OML 53, onshore eastern Nigeria.


The AGPC projects involve the development of the Ohaji South gas and condensate field located within the license block OML 53 and the Assa North field in license block OML 21.


The two fields are together expected to produce 600 million standard cubic feet per day (Mscfd) of gas, equivalent to approximately 2.4GW of electricity. The generated electricity is sufficient to supply for approximately 2.4 million homes.

On funding, the phase one development of ANOH midstream is expected to cost $700million, of which the JV of Seplat and NGC will fund $420m. AGPC proposes to raise $280m in debt comprising senior tranche and vendor financing.

Also, the Assa North and Ohaji Southfields are expected to contain reserves of 4.3 trillion cubic feet (Tcf ) of gas in addition to 215 million barrels (Mmbbls) of condensate.

The project will be connected to large-scale gas reserves to Nigeria’s main demand centres through the Oben hub owned by Seplat. The produced gas will be treated at the processing facility owned by SPDC JV and then forwarded through the Obiafu-obrikom-oben pipeline network.


Asides the projected $ 261 million as annual revenue from its Assa North / Ohaji South (ANOH) gas and condensate field project, Taiwo takes hold of the biggest Domestic Gas project promoted by an Independent, indigenous Nigerian company.

Of the total gas production, 300Mmscfd will be processed at the new gas processing plant owned by the SPDC JV, while the remaining gas will be processed at the proposed processing plant by SEPLAT Petroleum.

The processed gas will be transported to the EscravosLagos Pipeline System (ELPS) and West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) through a 26km-long spur line connecting to the OB3 pipeline. The produced LPG will be trucked directly to Owerri, while the condensate will be exported to either Shell Bonny and or ENI’S Brass River terminal.

AGPC was incorporated in 2017, is responsible for the project development and operation and maintenance. Seplat holds 50percent stake in AGPC, while Nigerian Gas Company (NGC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), holds the remaining stake.

AGPC is run in the model of Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) Ltd, which implies its an Incorporated Joint Venture (IJV) between a private hydrocarbon firm and a Nigerian state hydrocarbon company. In this case, Seplat and the Nigerian Gas Company are co-venturers.

Which means that in her role, Taiwo takes hold of the bigticket project expected to create thousands of new jobs, spur domestic gas demand, generate electricity, create an opportunity to diversify revenue of the Nigerian government, strengthen the country’s revenue base and turn Nigeria into a dominant geopolitical player in Africa, using its gas resources, just like Australia, Russia or Qatar.

A Final Investment Decision (FID) on the project was made in December 2018, with commissioning planned to be completed by the first quarter of 2020. The field is expected to produce between three and 3.4 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day by 2020.

Her career

Taiwo moved closer to her current position in January 2018, when she was appointed GM Commercial-anoh. In that position, she was accountable for delivering all commercial agreements relating to the ANOH Gas Processing Company start-up.

Those agreements include gas sales and purchase, gas marketing, condensate offtake, CHA (Crude Handling Agreements), LPG offtake and other commercial agreements with lenders and investors.

She takes the job three and half years after her appointment as Head of Gas Business at Seplat, the continent’s largest homegrown hydrocarbon producer, where she oversaw the development of one of the fastest-growing domestic gas businesses in Nigeria.

As General Manager in charge of Seplat’s gas business, Yetunde leads a team to evaluate all gas projects and provides commercial and investment advice to the company executives. She also manages the long-range strategic objectives for the gas business, which includes a startup gas processing company to be on stream in 2019.

Under the watch of Taiwo, Seplat grew its operated gas production capacity from 300Million standard cubic feet per day (300Mmscf/d) to 525Mmscf/d.

Taiwo was, until August 2015, the General Manager, Planning at NAPIMS, the Investment arm of Nigerian state hydrocarbon company NNPC. She was a member of the second- level management cadre that was retired as Ibe Kachikwu, minister of state at the Petroleum Ministry, swept into office as Group Managing Director of NNPC.

Bajela-taiwo was head of planning and economics at Seplat before she joined NNPC in 2013, as NAPIMS’ GM Planning.now her role in Seplat has a higher profile. The NPDC/SEplat Joint Venture, which Seplat operates, is currently the third largest supplier of gas to the domestic market, after the NNPC/ Chevron JV and the NPDC/ Ndwestern JV.

She studied Petroleum Engineering at Nigeria’s premier university, University of Ibadan, where she bagged a Bachelor of Science degree in 1990. After graduation, Yetunde worked briefly with Elf Nigeria Limited (now TOTAL) before launching her career with Chevron Nigeria Limited as a Petroleum Engineer, where she specialized in Production and Reservoir Management.

That eventually led to a fifteen- year career spent with Chevron in various positions such as Reservoir Management Team Lead, Planning Advisor, Economics Manager and Project Manager. It was in this capacity that she moved onwards to join BG Nigeria as the first Country Economics Manager in 2007. Soon afterwards, her expanding expertise allowed her movement into Government and independent oil companies in Nigeria before she showed up at Seplat in May 2011 as head of planning and economics.

When Yetunde is not preoccupied by work, she enjoys writing as it’s her dream to have her writings published someday. Together with a few of her friends, she manages a non-profit association, ‘Education for Life’ that mentors children between the ages of 10 – 15 and provides educational assistance to indigent female children within her immediate community.

Married with two children, Yetunde is an ardent theatre lover and delights in watching plays and cultural shows.

Please fellow Nigerians, Which flag is by the Right Hand of Mr President?


Let's us know when we don't dey get new flag o. Abi na Islamic state flag?

That's the flag of the presidency. Every country has both their national flag and the flag of either the head of government, Presidency or Monarch as the case may be.
Even some of our states like Lagos, Bayelsa and Anambra all have their own state flag. It's not really unusual.

Amanee:
This is foolishness

She's got a complication with her placenta. I guess she can't really help it

Didn't know swanky Jerry was a billionaire.

They aren't necessarily billionaires. Forbes places recognition on them because they are achieving considerably in their chosen carrers.

I know they must be yorubas, anything tech in Nigeria is Yoruba.

A good number of igbos are so into the tech space. But I commend those lads. It's no easy feat

Adazi Nnukwu!! that's my hometwon....

He's the Consul General of Nigeria in Gondouaz. He's a diplomat. I've forgotten his name but I know he's from the eastern region. Really did a goo job

truth be told Caverton may have acted irresponsibly by not informing the State Govt. of its activities during the lock-down but the stiff measures the RVSG is taking against the company is sending the wrong signals to the OPS (Organised Private Sector).
he should mellow down and seek a better way to resolve the issues

Azmanaty:
Afonjas will not like this news. Some will commit suicide this night. Watch out!

The point is you tribalist have little to accomplish in this life. Your enthic sentiments makes you a complete liability even to your own kindred

Igbo Amaka on the Rescue Again

Why not give Igbo's 50% of All Nigeria Federal Ministry and see this country turn around in 3 months to Industry and Technology hubs

You are a just dingbat meaningless tribalist of no consequence. You might be shocked that the innovation might have emanated from Ahmadu Bello University. It's people like you that make others see igbos as narssicistic in nature.
Stop painting my people as enthic sentimental folks.

okay what of Dbanj the entrepreneur

Dbanj is a above 30 oga

Tribal fools will soon flood this peaceful thread

The next question should be how do you intend to distribute evenly in every household without causing confusion??

Petyprincess:
Restricting movements still wnt change nothing!! On the contrary it's making things more complicated for we citizens!

What solution do you have? As long as people are still moving, the virus will spread. If you don't know what to type just stay in your house and sleep off

Richdad50:


An Igbo Man may perhaps, be the truest Nigerian if you want to honest. Forgetting the harsh realities of the civil war and the incessant marginalization of the region till date, they embrace the culture of nationalists, putting the country first above past deeds and wrongs.

The North never got over Ahmadu Bello and the West over Awolowo but the East rose above 3million dead to become the greatest economic force in the union.

Richdad

why do you have a penchance to show tribal sentiments all the time? what has these good deeds got to do with enthic sentiments??

Tribal fight will soon start. Please let them have their peace. They have the right to speak any language of their choosing

Don't be pessimistic all the time. It doesn't pay in the long run

Where's Alakija? Come and see your mate, he's walking the talk and not talking the walk. If you get my meaning

Why are people expressing tribal sentiments in these trying times

Someone should remind madam she should be contributing financially to combat the pandemic. At least, Dangote don contribute.
Celebrities worldwide are making concerted efforts financially to help combat the virus.

Let the tribal war begin.... As usua

You should be advising your members to take precautionary steps towards the covid 19 just like the 'Holy Father' did. Stop giving your members vauge assurances when you yourself aren't all that immune to it.

Mokason28:
Pardon me if my response is kinda filled with jubilation... I have sincerely been hopeful that this day comes fast... Those xenophobic bastards need to contact all the virus in the world and even more .... This story is fantabulous

Guy what the hell is wrong with you? Why wish bad for your neigbour. Retrack that comment immediately

If we considere Nigeria's re-emergence as the continent top economic giant with a valuation of around 400billion dollars under Buhari as an achievement , then Jonathan whose time Nigeria emerged as a economic giant with a valuation of around 500billion dollars was truly the most fantastic moment in Nigeria's history...

SA overtakes Nigeria as the most miserable African country
...Nigeria improves by one position ranking 7th

Nigeria, Africa most populous economy, is no longer ranked as the most miserable country in the continent, having been overtaken by South Africa.

Findings from the latest 2019 Hanke’s annual misery index showed that Nigeria’s improvement to the seventh position globally in 2019 from the sixth in 2018 puts it as the second most miserable country in Africa. South Africa (SA) ranks sixth position, making it the top most miserable African country.

The misery index modified by Steve Hanke, an American applied economist at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA shows which countries are getting less miserable and those that are getting more.

The index, which analyses 95 countries that report relevant data on a timely basis arrived at its ranking by considering the “sum of unemployment, inflation and bank lending rates, minus the percentage change in real GDP per capita

In 2019, Nigeria’s misery index stood at 36.8 from 43.0 in 2018. SA stood at 43.4 from 42.0. The major contributing factor for Nigeria’s poor ranking was bank lending rates and high inflation rates, while high unemployment rate was the major contributory factor for its previous ranking. Unemployment remains SA’s major factor.


“Higher readings on the first three elements are “bad” and make people more miserable. These are offset by a “good” (GDP per capita growth), which is subtracted from the sum of the “bads.” A higher Misery Index score reflects a higher level of “misery.” It’s a simple enough metric that can be understood at a glance,” Hanke said.

On the global scene, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Iran and Turkey are the World’s top five most miserable countries, while Japan, Hungary, Thailand, Malta and Taiwan are the least miserable countries.

According to Hanke, the currently most miserable should take heart that it is possible to improve. And the currently least miserable should note that they, too, can fall into despair.
