"Devakumar Edwin, executive director of capital projects and portfolio management at Dangote Group, told Arise TV that the earlier completion and products production date could not be met due to the COVID-19 pandemic that as restrictions led to delays in the shipment of equipment from abroad."

Another proof Nigerian education has not helped Nigerians who graduate from Nigerian universities to produce anything locally .

Pandemic restriction led to delays in the shipment of equipment from abroad, according to the above report. That changed oil refinery opening day.

Are Nigerian universities and leaders troubled by this report?

When this oil refinery begins and gets interrupted by equipment failures, consumers will have to wait until broken down equipment arrive from abroad.

Did these oil refinery planners factor this issue into their decisions making before thinking about building this company in Nigeria?

Shaking my head in disbelief about the quality of education Nigerians are getting from Nigerians universities!

Lmao.

Almost every factory in Nigeria make use of machinery and components imported from abroad.

The world is a global village and express shipping is now a thing.

I don't see the unnecessary calling out or insults on Nigerian universities.

Plus, these guys are smart enough to keep spare parts of certain items in their stores.

If you've worked in the engineering department of multinationals, you'll know these things.

The government can’t stop importers from importing elsewhere that pays them and then allow dangote Soley and independently fix pump price at N300. Don’t u wish ur country well? Must one man grow at the expense of a country? This same thing Atiku did with generator importers and sabotaged our power sector. It is criminal!

Obailala is talking like a sycophant. In sane countries, hurful monopolies like Dangote are broken down and split into smaller companies.

Obailala here is advocating for Dangote to sell petrol at N300/liter without caring about the millions of lives that will be impoverished.

Who's stopping you from competing? Quite the hating.

Do you know what he's gone through in life to achieve what he has? Have you heard his story before?

Stop saying what you have no knowledge of. It's dubious, sinister and hideous.

Nonsense talk.

Dangote is a monopolistic animal with illegal government support.

Borders were closed but his trucks were allowed to pass through.

His trucks litter everywhere causing a mess to our roads and endangering human lives.

Cement prices in Nigeria are one of the highest in the world.

I can go on and on, but I'll stop here.

In a free and fair economy, Dangote wouldn't be one of the richest in the word, even with his business acumen.

Billionaires like Dangote are a threat to Nigeria and not beneficial.

I hate how there are so many posts on this thread insulting ladies.

There are different facets to feminism. Not all of them are bad or evil.

It's like saying television is bad or protests are bad or books are bad.

They all have good and bad sides.

Feminists are fighting for the right for women to drive in Arabian countries, an end to female genital mutilation, rape cases in India, forced sexual harassment in universities etc.

Hopefully, those plaques come with cash prizes and gifts too.

Too many assassinations in the country of recent.

Record breaking Nairaland thread.

Shout out to everyone who contributes here. I've learnt a lot from you guys and I've had fun too.

Innovate or die.

Plus, those saying crypto will starve the company's economy of cash are very wrong.

A lot of youths are into crypto full-time. Not to talk of BuyCoins, Luno Nigeria, Binance Nigeria and several other crypto startups.

It will also make it hard for freelancers and remote workers to receive payment through crypto, except if they want to sell P2P. But there is a huge risk of fraud.

Plus, those remitting money to their friends and families too.

They can't point out a single concrete reason for the ban

If you are interested in why I called it a ponzi scheme and what's going on


Read this article, the writer explains it better

This is a 2017 article from a cryptocurrency critic. Google the guy and see all his articles.

But since 2019, the guy has stopped criticising cryptocurrency.

Cry baby. No sense like your comrade in arms.

Thanks for sharing Nihilistjr.

I've been looking forwards to reading that Atlantic article since afternoon. Damn those pesky paywalls.

Really insightful stuff.

I'm not happy with this Lampard sacking news.

And Tuchel?

Tueh.

So, Wike and Tambuwal?

Hmmn.

This is a ground wetting operation to test public opinions and see all form of reactions from political oppositions, before taking a more solid step towards 2023.

Well, 2023 is just 2 years away. The game has begun.

In fact, it started as far back as 2019. With dem Tinubu, El Rufai and co making strategic underground moves.

Soon, Atiku will come back to the country from Dubai. Agbaje the Pharmacist will soon resurface.

The Conor McGregor hype train derailed again. If this guy is not the most over hyped and overrated fighter in combat history I don't know who is

I swear!

The guy has that media charisma and trash talking. He's not as good as before.

Alariwo of Africa

RIP to her

Her watch has ended.

Goood job.

This is painful. Men of God who ought to be trusted shepherds over the flock. Now, they are turning to be wolves.

A lot of people trust them which is why they can easily defraud them.

I know some Nairalanders are going to blast me for criticizing President Buhari, but I don't care. I'll speak the truth no matter whose ox is gored!

Yes, I agree he's done exceptionally well in the areas of agriculture, infrastructure, human development, finance, security and economy, but his failure to punish insurrectionists cannot be ignored. His (administration's) refusal to jail Aisha Yesufu and the other EndSars promoters; his refusal to jail Sowore and allowing Nnamdi Kanu to jump bail successfully will be recorded in history as the failures of the Muhammadu Buhari administration. That's what his softness will cost him if his administration keeps sweeping these issues under the carpet!

President Buhari must understand that Nigerians will not rest until those guys are jailed. That they are celebrities doesn't in any way put them above the law. We are all equal in the eyes of the law. Hopefully, this administration will do the right thing and jail those criminals. Doing otherwise will result in a MONSTROUS PROTEST!

I have spoken my mind.

God bless Nigeria.

So, we have an MMA thread on Nairaland?

Awesome.

Meanwhile, the first UFC event of 2021 will hold tonight.

That's after a 3-week break.

We're back in Abu Dhabi.
